Repealed Vindication

pEFUSAL of the United states TO ratify the
IL league of nations with its covenants is once
more being vindicated by events in Europe. BY her
refusal the United States was kept out of the lea
gue. Her membership therein would have bound
her irrevocably 10 participate in all European
matters: to have helped maintain the boundaries
and divisions of territory as fixed by the treaty of
Versailles.
Europe is again on the verge of a general war
involving practically all the nations that were al
lied against Germany during the World War. This
new war is made imminent by the war which has
been going on between Greece and Turkey over
boundaries and territory which were fixed under
the Treaty of Versailles.
The war between these two nations is in itself in
defiance of the Treaty of Versailles and the lea que
of nations. The fact that it has been going on is
conclusive proof of the futility and impotency of
the league of nations. whose sole excuse for exis-
tence is it's pretended ability TO maintain peace in
Europe, primarily. and throughout the world as a
secondary consideration.
At no time since the creation of the league of ma
tions has there been peace in Europe although none
of the wars that have been going on since the lea
que was created has approached the magnitude of
a %signatOry power to the treaty of Versailles and
the league of nations, and as such was entitled TO
have all OF her rights and territory as fixed by that
treaty guaranteed and protected by the other mem
bers of the league. This has not been done, either
because the league of nations is unwilling to live
up TO its pretentions or because it is unable to do
so. Either situation is condemnation of the league
and its pretentions.
If the United States were now a member of the
league of nations, there is not the least doubt but
that she would long since have been called upon to
engage actively in this enbroglio. probably in the
form of sending an army in the disputed territory
10 police it and act as a buffer between the warning
powers.
In fact. 1T Will be recalled that at the Paris con.
ference IL was strongly urged that the United State,

The Northwest Mounted

TN the decision OF the Premier TO
reconstitute the Royal Northwest
Mounted Constabulary on its former
basis there is wisdom,"-says the
Montreal Star.
when the headquarters of thai
famous force were removed from the
Northwest TO Ottawa and It's personel
was increased, it lost in part that
characteristic individuality which 1t
had enjoyed for so many years From
being the guardians OF Law and order
over the far reaches Of Canadas
rorthernmost territory the North
west Mounted became a Dominion
wide force, liable for service any
where when needed
THE Northwest Mounted are part
and parcel Of the history OF this
country. Their fame is worldwide
Their work has won for them recog-
milton in every land where law is the
basis Of civilization. and their achieve
ments have formed the basis for
many asthrilling novel over a long
course Of years. To take them from
their old home In the West and make
them an sppanage OF the formalities
and red tape of the capital Was at
best a mistake. The Premier is
rag enough to undertake the
remedy and does not hesitate about
making his Views known. 1t is clear
that the headquarters r to be re
established in the west, and that in
size n duties the force will be re
modelled on the old II tried lines.
IAN Canadians m proud OF the
splendid body Of men who have worn
the red tunic and the brown SLOUGH
hat with such distinction. The war
found the Northwest Mounted ready
and eager. and many a nan from its
ranks won distinction at the front.
Canada Toes not want this organiza-
tion to be lost. 1t is part and parcel
of the country today. and its unique
characteristics are a heritage that has
been jealousy guarded in the past.

Rural Mail Delivery

On October / the rural mail SER
vice Will be 2s years old. This recalls
the fact tha. the establishment of
rural free delivery service Is n OF
the accomplishments Of the Repub-
lican party. The idea was fathercd
by John Wanamaker. postmaster
general under President Benjamin
Harrison. He first suggested 1t to
Congress in 1891. A Democratic ad-
ministration was elected in 1892 and
the idea was vigorously opposed dur
ing its incumbency- In 1894 the Re-
publicans regained control of the
Congress due to a landslide as a pro-
test against the Democratic free tar
If bill. The Republican Congress then
raj free delivery and appropriated
Octoer l.. 1896, the first rural delivery
service was established simultaneous
ly on three routes in West Virginia
one from Charleston. one from
Uvilla and one from Halltown.
Nine months after the establish
ment of the first route. the service
had grown to SO routes, emanating
from "a postoffices in 20 different
states. AT the close OF business.
June so, 1929. the number of routes
had jumped to 44.is6 with q total
mileage of 1.lso.44s miles. The In
significant appropriation Of $4,000
made by Congress rs years ago to
initiate the service. has now grown to
the tremendous figure of ss6,s00. 900.
This figure shows an increase of s3.-
900, 900 over the appropriations for
the years 1915, 1915. 1917 and 1918
when a flat appropriation OF $4,000
900 was made for each year The
jump was due to increases in salaries
of carriers.
The frs. complete county rural
service was established December 20,
1899. in Carroll County, Maryland
From hat date county service rapid
ly developed until OF now covers nor
than 1000 counties.
Up 10 1915 there were 2s.oso fourth
class postoffices discontinued on ac-
delivery service. representing an an
nual saving to the postal service OF
81 .61s,o 40, while the saving resulting
from the discontinuance of star
was estimated at ss,4S2, $40
per annum.
When the service was first inaug-
urated rural carriers were paid a SAL
airy of $500 a year. They may now
get as much as s2.16o a year, depend
ing on the length Of the routes. while
the motor routes Of fifty miles or
more pay a salary from s2.2so to
$1,000.
Illinois leads the nation both in. the
number of rural routes and in mile
age. there being 2.621 routes covering
a distance of To,174 miles in that
state. Ohio is secon with 1854
routes. Missouri third with s.2S6.
Iowa fourth with 2.2os. Texas fifth
with a,157, Pennsylvania sixth with

Why They Can Pay

UGH. The United States purchased
HUNDREDS OF millions of dollars worth
of war materials in France aud Great
Britain for the use OF our armies.

millions for transporting our soldiers

payments were made in cash and

THIS ENGINEER WAS GALLANT
He Stopped His Train and Landed Big
Tarpon Fish for Mississippi
Woman.

Biloxi, Miss.-There Is no lack Of
gallantry on the part Of this Louisville
& Nashville passenger engineer-or
was it his overwhelming love for
angling?
The chauffeur of one of the "Ellen's"
palatial trains sped on to the bridge at
Ocean Springs. On the bridge Mrs. w.
M. Hampton was wrestling with fish
ing pole that was jerked hither and
yon too wildly for feminine strength.
1t was tarpon on the hook, whereas
Mrs. hampton had gone into the sport
modestly hoping to catch little mess
Of trout for supper.
For 45 minutes Mrs. hampton and
the tarpOn fought game battle with
the score standing about even. The
L. & N. engineer procured the heavy
iron hook with which his fireman
shakes down the CRATE bars and with
this made the tarpon captive in a jiffy.
The fish weighed So pounds.
All the passengers quickly became
interested and husked off the scales Of
the tarpon for souvenirs.

IMPRISONED WITHIN A HEARSE
Workman Was Accidentally Locked
Inside When the Driver An
sWered Death Call.

Salem, Ore.-Visions of spooks en-
tered the mind of local hearse driver
when he heard the cries Of man
echoing from within the closed carrier.
At the time of the strange occurrence,
the driver was on his way to the cOun-
try to answer a death call. The driv-
er at first thought he was the victim
of hallucinatiOn, but as the cries con-
tinued he decided to investigate.
Leaving his seat the driver rushed
to the rear of the hearse and opened
the door. Out jumped a man, and
explanations followed. The man said
he had been assigned to make some
repairs, and had been given no no
tice that the hearse was to leave the
garage. The rear door was slammed
and the workman was temporarily i'm
prisoned. The roar of the engine
drowned. out the mans cries, and the
hearse was several miles from the
city before he could attract the at
tention Of the driver.
