Thei Troubles Not Ours

NOW that Senator Borah has informed our dis
~ tinguished French visitor just how America
feels about it, and enumerated a few of the things
America did to win the war, and while on the sub
ject, also called the Tigers attention to many of
the things France, Britain and the rest have done
to place Europe in her present plight we may con-
slider the first two rounds a stand off.
The senator is absolutely right in blaming the
Versailles treaty for the major woes from which
Europe is suffering. That document represents so
much of human selfishness and SO little of Justice
and humanity that its terms will always be pro-
ductive of inharmony among the nations charged
with their attempted enforcement.
There is a limit to things nations and peoples
can or will undertake to perform. The Versailles
treaty in all conscience exceeds this limit.
There are just three things that matter with
Europe to the matter of fact American mind, and
they are represented in these admonitions:
Revise and liberalize the Versailles treaty; quit
fighting and !ammering about everything; go to
work.
If anyone is to straighten out the old wreck it
must be done by someone on that side of the pond,
America is not going TO do it. For an innocent by.
stander, we have had quite enough TO satisfy us.

Profits By Cooperation

THE GOVERNMENT received as oil royalties in
Il August the sum Of $77s,37s11 resulting from
leases on government lands in the west. $3ss,S19.46
is credited to Wyoming, S334,75140 to California
and S34S07.25 to Montana.
The governments royalties vary from Ply to
SO I3 per cent according to the rate of production
Under this system the government is a sure winner.
If the well drilled is a dry hole the government
loses nothing. II it produces oil the government
gets its proportion.
Private industry cooperating with the govern
ment is the ideal way of developing the nations
natural resources in a free country.

Keep 1t Closed

THE STATE department has ordreed the sale of
L the lease of the American consulate at
Newcastle England. A few months ago the
consulate was closed because the British govern
nlent objected to the activity of the consul and his
assistant in obtaining cargoes for American yes
sells. A thorough investigation by the state depart
ment disclosed no ground for the protest, but there
has been no move to assign new American repre-
s~entatives to the post. The order to sell the lease
indicates that the consulate is to be closed pre-
manently. British trade circles at Newcastle are
said to be much concerned over the matter. but
they have only their Owl government to blame for

Mortmain

As PREDICTED the opponents of ship subsidy
n offer government ownership as a substitute. Ship
subsidy calls for $30,000,000 annually which will OPP
crate the bulk OF the merchant marine at efficiency
under private control. That sum is to be raised
from the tariff duties. At present, with the gov
ernmcnt operating ~2,250,O00 tons, the annual loss
is S50,0O0,000, and no provision for maintenance
and repair, the sum being taken directly out of the
treasury. Government ownership and operation of
any productive industry is mortmain in its literal
duplication. Every nation that has tried it has re-
GREETED it; every nation that his made it general
has gone to pieces.

Quick Quaker Oats

Quaker Oats now comes in two
styles, the Qaiek and the regular.
QHiek Quaker, perfected by our
experts, is the quickest cooking pats
in the world. 1t cooks to perfection
in 3 to S minutes.
Both have the favor which has
made Quaker Oats supreme. Both
are faxed from queen grains only
just the rich, plump, favory oats.
We get but ten pounds from a
bushel.
But in Qaiek Quaker the oats are
cut before taking. They are rolled
very thin and partly cooked. So the
fakes are smaller and thinner-that
is all. And the small thin fakes
cook quickly.
Take your choice. If You want

Korea by which Japanese troops
were allowed to land peaceaby on

Korea turned over to Japan her

and without these Japan's troops

Mind you. now. Korea gave to
Japan indispensable help in the
war, and Immediately afterward, in.
stead Of showing gratitude, Japan
laid her plans to seize her ally, and
those plans she put into effect.
