HARDINC'S PLEA

Warren G. 'Hardings plea as president Of the
United States before the United States Senate in
favoring the disarmament conference treaties will
thrill all who believe that definite step has been
taken to wipe out the curse Of war. ,.,... -
They arc valid for the hope that this will be true
1T Ia not necessary for me to remind you," the
president told the senate, "that the conference
work was not directed against any power or group
Of powers. There were no punishments to inf1ict,
no rewards to bestow. Mutual consideration, and
the common welfare and the desire for world peace
impel!ed. The conclusions reached and the cove
nants written neither require contemplate COM
pulsivs measures against any power in the world
The offerings freewil the conscience Is that Of
world opinion; the observance is matter Of ma
tionai honor. 4"
"These treaties leave no power despoiled. The
delegates Of every power participating adjourned
with every right and every authority with which
they came, except that which they willingly and
gladly gave up to further the common cause.
II can assure you that the nine powers have
been brought more closely together; they are
stauncher neghbors and friends; they have clearer
and better estimates Of another they have seen
suspicion challenged and selfshness made to- re-
treat; they have keener and more sympathetic un-
derstendings and they more strongly willed tor
right and Justice in international relations than ever
before" -. ..v. ..+, .'..
1t hasn't been very long that such things could
be said-that is, they could not BIO said and ring
with the truth that now marks them. ..>
1t would seem more like old times if VIC were to
hear Americans proudly Boosting that we could win
any war ever started; Great Britain harping about
her rule Of the waves; Japan slyly limiting at her
prowess on the field Of battle; Germany idolizang
en- invncible army. Those arc some of the things
We might hear. b.,
Instead, we have the president, spokesman for
the world, telling US that the nations everywhere
are bound together not by tho secret, war-budding

Separate Treaty IS Proposed Be-

Lausanne-Lord Curzon, the British

the San Reno agreement for division
OF the Mosul oil district as null and
void. "
Paris reports that preparation of q
separate treaty between Turkey and
the United States Is under considera-

the Temps. The correspondent sug-
gests that this perhaps was the sub
ject Of a long conversation between
Richard Washburn Childs and 1smet
Pasha. :* ..,.

are a part of Turkey proper and when

DR.. Ria Muir Bey, one of the Turkish

the cooler country along the western
Canadian border, if the census figures
mean anything.
Montana was the healthiest Of all
the states in the year mentioned
showing a death rate of 80 persons

Orders to Seek Recovery on Canton

Neutrality-suspicious. went out from
the Department of Justice to federal
district attorneys for the institution
of suits against the contractors who
built the country's cantonments, un-
der which Attorney General Daugherty
hopes to recover the enormous sum of

This sum, according to officials, rep

War department experts have been
able to calculate.
The suits will be begun all over the
country in the next few days. The
first probably will be filed in the cases
OF Camp Sherman, Ohio, built at
cost of $13,000,000 in which the gov
eminent hopes to recover $5,000,000,
and in the case of Camp Grant, Rock

same cost, and in which the govern
ment hopes to make an even greater
proportionate recovery.

Lausanna-America gave Great
Britain, France and Italy a hard jolt
when hor spokesman, Richard Wash.
burn Child, declared that the United
States government has the support OF
the American public in its opposition
to all secret treaties and agreements,
particularly those designed to create
zones of economic and commercial in
fuence, such as the San Reno tripar-
tite agreement of 1920, which appor.
toned the Mesopotamian oil fields
among the three big powers.
Mr.. Child's exposition was merely a
restatement of Secretary of State
Hughes raide.memoire of October 30,
in which he defined for the benefit OF
the British, French and Italian gov.
ernments the functions of the Amer.
lean observers to the Lausanne con.
ference and broadly outlined Amer.
ica's open door policy for the Near
East-but it was restatement under
conditions that made it sensational.
It came as the conference was about
to begin consideration Of Turkeys
Asiatic boundaries, and it was a clear
warning that America will not remain
silent If the three inviting powers in

A DESERVED VICTORY

In explaining the Democratic VIC
tory of Nov.7 and highly approving it,
the Republican Boston Transcript edi-
torially says, among other things: -:
"The best part about the wigging
which the people have given ct the
polls in many parts of the country to
the party in power is that the wigging
was we'll deserved. The party
in power has neglected its opportunity,
paltered in the face of grave and press
ing problems, played fast and loose
with the veterans Of the Great War,
goose-stepped before organized bands
of noisy minorities, honeyfugled the
pacifsts, enacted tariff bill that, as
we have repeatedly said, is "a disgrace
to- the Republican party and a menace
to the Nation insulted 4 the inteli-
gence and inf1amed the passion of the
electorate in many parts of the coun-
try by appointments to office that are
indefensible on any score-for exam
pie E. Mont Reilly as governor of Por'
to Rico and whole tribe of politi-
cal swindlers south of the Mason-Dix-
on line.
"Instead Of leadership in the lower
house of Congress the Republicans
have set up an oligarchy consisting OF
Mondell Of Wyoming, Madden of Hi
nois, Kelley of Michigan, and Anthony
of Kansas-the worst of the lot. In
stead of resisting the impudent and in
solent manner in which this oigarchy
has invaded the constitutional premises
of the Executive, the Executive has in
too MANY instances, salamed before
the invaders. In the place Of zone
man government at the executive end
of the Avenue, the party in power has
given the country taste of misgov-
eminent at both ends by congression-
al oligarchy as unfit to administer as it
was to legislate.'

A BILL THAT Is NEVER PAID


A ten-year-old lad overheard a con-
versation about certain bills to be paid
and conceived the idea of making out
bill for his own services. So the
next morning he laid this statement of
account on his mothers breakfast
plate:
"Mother owes Willie for carrying
coal six times, 20 cents; for bringing
water lots of times, 30 cents; for 60
ing ten errands, rs cents.
His mother read the bill but said
nothing about it. That evening Will
lie found on his plate the seventy
FIVE cents, and also another bill which
read as follows: t'Willie owes mother
for his happy home for ten years, moth
ing; for nursing him through long
illness, nothing;. total, nothing"
When Willie saw the seventy:fve
cents he was pleased, but when he read
Lis mothers o'll his .yes grew dim
and his lips quivercd. Then he took
the money to his mother, threw his
arms about her neck and begged that
she would let him do lots of things for
her.
Mothers bill is rarely presented, but
it will pay each person to think it out
and over for himself and then pay it
in love and service.
