AND THESE ARE THE BIRDS
WHO WANT DEBS IN PRISON
1By the Federated Press.)

Kansas City.-During the re-
cent Amer;can Legion Convention
here, riotous Legionaires caused
approximately 100000 damage.
Commercial delegations from Sc
attic, San Francisco and other
large centers We're in attendance
at the convention to secure the
next Legion gathering for their
respective home cities, but when
they learned Of the damage that
had been done in Kansas CITY
they did not further press their
solicitations.
Apparently the cid was Off
as far as Legionaires were con-
cerned; the police were entirely
unable to control the crowds Of
boisterous joy hunters who CON
tinually broke through the police
lines. Upon one occasion it was
only through the action Of Gen.
eral Pershing, who drove through
the lines with an auto and sue
ceeding in quoting the rioters,
that serious trouble was averted.

And then the clown beat upon his
drum and the children all marched
sti1fly behind.
When magnificent Santa Claus
asked the children to sing with him
and the voices Of the hospital children
sang out with the rest Gertrude Hard
ing felt herself swelling with pride.
Later when Santa Claus perceived
that one Of the hospital children had
an unusually lovely voice he asked
him to sing alone.
And there in the shop he sang, sang
with the thrill OF happiness that a
bird sings with when first he feels the
warmth and sweet fragrance OF the
spring.
He had never been asked to sing be-
fore like this-in big shop where
people were and where people listened
to him, not because he was being tis-
tied in a hospital and must do his part
to entertain the visitors, but because
somehow or other they liked his voice.
It rang out true and strong. He
shifted the crutch which he had never
been without and which hes would new
er be without to the end Of his days,
and then he was asked to sing an en-
core.
His face was flushed with the pleas
ure Of doing something which was
liked in this big outside world.
He looked at Santa Claus and
beamed.
He had already sung popular song
which he had learned from the squeak
ing talking machine which someone
had given the hospital when it was no
longer fit fer the home, and now he
thought he would sing something bet
ter Somehow he felt it would be
proper, and vaguely perhaps he felt it
would show gratitude for Christmas
that went deeper. Dimly he thought
these things.
Someone had taught them hymn
in the hospital, hymn which he had
always loved. 1t made one feel bet
ter, stronger, happier somehow. It
was very glorious hymn he had al
ways thought.
And he sang:
''It came upon the midnight clear.
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps Of gold;
Peace on the earth. good will to men,,
From heavens all-gracious king;
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing"
Right to the end of the hymn he
sang and the people thanked him and
Santa Claus told him it had been love-
" and gave him man-like clap on
the back.
Gertrude Harding had felt lump
in her throat and had smiled with
eyes that were misty.
So the angels did bend near the
earth-even in these days-and even
over hospitals where crippled and i'll
children were. It was the humans,
not the angels, who forgot and who
went through life not thinking!
Back to the hospital she took the
children late, late that afternoon. The
hospital was in semi darkness. Chill

BILL FOR WHEAT GUARANTEE

Congressman Sinclair of North Da-
kota has introduced bill providing
for revival of the government grain
corporation to stabilize the wheat
prices for the coming year. The
movement to revive this corporation,
started by President A. C. ToWnley
Of the Nonpartisan League, is meet
ing with great interest in all sections
OF the country. Two factors give con-
siderable hope for success of the
move.
1. The desperate condition of our
farm population
2. The fact that the usual bag of
tricks carried by the politicians at
Washington and elsewhere, contains
no possible remedy for the situation.
Representative Christopherson Of
South Dakota has bill before the
House providing for fixed prices on
! number of agricultural products.
Christie pherson is not Nonpartisan
League man and hence his activities
are more noteworthy.
His plan differs from the Townley
plan in that he would merely have the
government announce prices, where
BIS Mr.. Townley would achieve a price
stabilized at cost of production by
eliminating the vast amount of waste
and profteering in the marketing of
agricultural products at the present
time. The ToWnley plan would put
the products in the hands of the con-
sumner at no greater prices than he
pays now. Hence. the Townley plan
aDpeals more to organized labor The

FINAL NAVY TERMS

AS a result of the naval negotia-
tons here it appears that we are to
be entitled to more battleship "ele-
plants" than cur delegates asked for.
Great Britain is to have 20 ships
instead of % with an aggregate of
$4,000 tons instead of 604,450 tons.
The United States is I'd have 13
ships with total of $4,000 instead Of
100000 tons.
Japan is to have 10 ships with 313,-
300 tons instead of 299,700 tons.
After the 10-year period it is agreed
that England shall have $4,000 tons;
America, $4,000 tons, and Japan 315,-
900 tons. This arrangement has come
to be known as the 5-5-3 ratio.
Thus it will be seen that the agree
ment provides for no progressive re-
duction other than the first splurge
and still leaves the naval powers after
10 years with navy equipment of
vast expense.
Hence the work of disarmament is
far from finished and continued agi-
tation will be needed to accomplish
what the people have right to ex-
pect.

REED HITS TREATY

Considerable Senate opposition to
the Four Power treaty of the navy
program IS expected in the Senate.
Senator Reed Of Missouri charac-
terized the treaty alleged to settle diff
ficu.ties in the Pacific ocean territory
as a gold brick. He also objects that
the navy program makes Great Brit
ain absolute master OF the seas for
ten years"
America is allowing the plan for
reduction of armament to become a
pack horse upon whose back is to be
carried the quadruple alliance in the
interests of Britain and Japan in the
Orient and to have the United States
own rights in the blood of her sons,
the ambitions and avarice of Great
Britain and Japan in the Southern
SEAS
Senator Reed promised to analyze
the "iniQuities" Of the Four Power
agreement at greater length.

tory.
It is said that thiaatreaty takes the
place of the alli1 between Eng
land and Japan, Il (which our inter
ests had so much objection.
The rest Of the world apparently is
left out. China, Eastern Russia, the
people of India and other subject ter
ritory are evidently left as much to
the mercy of foreign domination as
before.
There Is also question of whether
the treaty Is not another article 10,
promising support Of our army and
navy in case England should face re-
volt in India or Japan trouble too big
for her in Korea and China.
Under the terms announced the
powers agree:
1.-The powers agree to respect
each others insular possessions In the
Pacific and to submit disputes that
may arise to common conference for
adjustment and consideration.
IF the rights of either OF the
signatory powers are threatened by
another power, the signers of the
treaty will confer together for the
purpose of taking action, either sep
arately or Jointly.
3-The treaty shall remain in force
for 10 years, subject to the right of
any one of the powers to terminate it
upon one years notice.
Upon ratification of the treaty
by the constitutional agencies of each
country, the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
which is so obnoxious to America,
shall be terminated.
