WEAKNESS.

I think that l can stand it when the
tulips nod at me.
With the blue skies high above me and
the green upon the tree;
1 think that l can listen TO the robins
cheerful song
And still so about my duty. though the
temptere voice is strong;
Butt know that l shall weaken and
forsake the haunts OF men
When l hear some glad voice shouting
that the fishing's good again.
The lure of spring is mighty and the
blossoms on the trees
Have coaXing way about them and a
manner. IL you please,
That upsets my stock OF courage-but
think l can resist
The urge to drop my burdens. though
I'll fidget and I'll twist
And hunger for my freedom. but I
know Ill drop my pen
At the first glad indication that the
iishing's good again.
/ think that can stand II when the
green is on the tree
And the wish 10 play the loafer starts
the wanderlust in me.
But IL am at the window and two boys
should chance To stroll
With their poles upon their shoulder
TO a certain fishing hole,
Then no power on earth can hold me

SENATOR LODGE.

The term OF Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge OF Massachusetts will expire
on March 4. 1923. at which time he
will have completed his fifth consecu-
tive term, making a continuous ser
vice OF thirty years. In this he wifi
have rivalled Senator Thomas Hart
Benton of Missouri, who served con-
tinuously from 1921 10 1851. and a
few others. Senator Benton rounded
his public career with term IN the
House, but Senator Lodge served
three terms as Representative before
going 10 the Senate. Senator Ben
toms term covered g. most interest

litical history. as may be known by
reading his book, Thirty Years In the

that on, result of tho World War

IN A TREATY sNARL,

1t Is not yet certain tho Four
Power Treaty has been completely
ratified by tho United States Senate.
1t was ratified by vote. last week. with
a reservation which conveyed this
assertion; Tho United States under
stands that under the statement In
the preamble, or under tho terms OF
this treaty, there II no commitment 70
armed force. no alliance. no obligA-
ton to join In any defence" How
much OF tho treaty, In effect, n left
after this reservation may be n seri-
Gus question hereafter.
later, some other question WINS
raised. which made a supplemental
statement necessary. and one was
adopted in terms specifically e1-
Guiding the Jananese Homeland"
from any treaty application. Possibly
later consideration may lead to still
other exceptions. And tho original
treaty was not OF such n scope as &c

COST OF POPULAR F0LLIE6.

Some people who look around nj
the business and labor situation, ana
see people out OF work. and things
not going Just right are always
ready 10 fall for revolutionary propa-
ganda. They say the country should
try socialist or bolshevism or anarch-
ism. or some other ism. They should
reflect carefully on the cost OK pop
ular foiliea, and see that as long al
people will keep doing foolish Things
there will be many who have 10 pay
the penalty under any economic
system.
Extravagant and inefficient govern
ment is ono OF these follies. People
have long tolerated the use OF public
office for political trading, and they
uut smart takers and smooth hand
shakers In office, instead or com
petent men who could run business
economically The result is high
taxes. This makes production cost
high and many people are unable to
buy products. thus throwing pro
/ ducers out OF work.

less with every month that passed;
for the Continent set to work with

than tho French. tho Italian, the
Rhineland and tho Belgian peasant.
But this temporary phase did not act
adversely to US. On the contrary, 1t
compelled the impoverished continent
to come to US for Immediately neces-

charged them enormous prices. Now
