1t is quite apparent that what the
soviet government wishes Is not n gen.
eral agreement with Europe, but sep
arate treaties with the powers. such as
she already has with Germany. 1t
probably could do this with Great
Britain and Italy and the neutral Ia
lions, and probably with some other
powers, and France and Belgium
would be left In an uncomfortable po-
sition. And Russia will be able to
lay on France the blame for the fail
ure Of the Genoa conference.
Soviet Russia's defiant attitude to-
ward the world was demonstrated in
the May day doings at Moscow. Leon
Trotzky, minister of war, reviewed
10000 most e%xcellently equipped and
drilled soldiers, and in IN address de
clared that Russia will resist until
her last drop of blood is shed any at
tempts of the capitalistic governments
to enslave her."
France consented to sign the nonag-
gression pact proposed by Lloyd
George on three conditions: That
every European nation signed; that
Russia agreed to recognize all her
existing boundaries for ten years, and
that France surrendered none of her
rights to take action to enforce the
Versailles treaty. The Russians re
jected the second of these and the
Germans the third.

IN THE United States the most in
Il ~tercsting event of the week was the
defeat of Senator Harry $. New for
denomination in the Indiana Republic
an primaries by former Senator Albert
]. B~everidge. Since New was running
on the record of the national admins
tration his failure was looked on as
something of a blow to hat admins
tration and the REGULARS in the sen
ate We're frankly disappointed. Sena-
tor Mccormick, chairman of the Re
publican senatorial committee, how
ever, said the committee had taken 70
part in h contest N would support
the nominee ~energetically. Mr.. Bev-
eridge served twelve years in the SEN
ate and was a leader in the Progressive
party movement. He made his cam
paign on such planks as demands for
the repeal of the Adamson law, repeal
or amendment of the Sherman law,
adoption of a sales tax and the promo
ton of greater efficiency and wiser
economy in government.
Samuel Ralston, former governor Of
Indiana, easily won the Democratic
nomination. and il him Beveridge will
find a strong contender for the senate
seat. II may be that modification Of
the Volstead act will become a promi.
rent issue OF the campaign.

Why Castoria?

In common use for Infants and Children; Castor Oil so nauseatng as to be
almost Amos" impossible and the Others all containing Opium in m form or another,
DM out SO disguise. as to make them pleasant to the taste, yet really to supply the
child and give the appearance of relief from pain.
1t required years o. research to find a purely vegetable combination that
would take the place of these dsagreeabe, unpleasant and vicious remedies that
from habit had become almost universal This was the inception Of and the reason
1, the Introduction OF Fletchers CastorR, and for over so years it has proven its
worth, received the praise of Physicians everywhere and become a household word
among mothers
A remedy ESPECIALLY prepared for Infants and Children and no mother
would think of giving to her baby a remedy that she would use for herself
without consulting a physician.

ESPITE the hard working propa-
- gandists. the American admins
tration shows no signs of willingness
to take part at present in all these
European negotiations. Its position
concerning Russia was made clear by
Secretary Of State Hughes in his reply
to a delegation of the Women's Inter
national League for Peace and Free
dom which asked him to advocate the
immediate recognition of the soviet
regime. Mr.. Hughes told the women
thai recognition is In the control of
those who dominate the affairs of Rus
sia. and would be accorded only to n
government competent to discharge Its
international relations and demonstrate
ing a disposition to discharge them.
He added that there are no legal OBJ

from the dispatches, WI was having

the attention Of the rival commanders
the fact that the foreign diplomats had
protested three times against the
fighting and had warned of serious o n
sequences to China should foreigners
suffer from the hostilitles. Almost all

Construction of tunnel to replace the
well-known aerial bridge at Duluth, Mimi,
is under consideration by the city council.
The bridge is getting old and becoming
unsafe. Not long ago the travelling car
riage failed to work, and remained fixed
over the channel right in the course of an
approaching steamship, causing panic.
The bridge spans ship canal across Min
nesota Point, where there is heavy auto
mobile traffic, particularly in the summer.
The proposed tunnel would provide street.
car service, and would also facilitate the
automobile traffic, which is now handled
so slowly by the aerial bridge.-Ex.

the thousands of tourists who descend the
crater year by year has ever been killed.
although many of them have had the thrill
of thinking they were going to be. Kilauea
has never shown what it could really do
since the end of the eighteenth century
when it burst forth and destroyed an army
that opposed the great king, Kamehameha
who united all the islands under one
sovereign. On Hawaii also, for those who
like strenuous mountain climbing, there
are the three towering peaks of Mauna
Kea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai, the first
and highest of which rises gently to an
altitude of fourteen thousand feet The
less hardy tourists can leave the volcano
by motor, as they come from the lovely
town of Hilo, and go round the island
through scenery as varied as you find in
crossing the continent-tropica forests
with giant ferns, fields of sugar cane,
fields of pineapples, groves of bananas
and oranges and coffee, lava fields, desolate
and ancient, and great upland sweeps of
country where you look down on the bril-
liant blue waters of the Pacific
Then there is Maui, with its beautiful
lao Valley, mountain gorge where the
walls, filmed with the spray of waterfalls
and laced with ferns, rise sheer for two
thousand feet The other end of the island
is nothing but the mighty mountain mass
great extinct volcano, eight miles across
and two thousand feet deep. 1t is not
child's play to climb down to the bottom,
where what you thought were ant hills
proves to be huge tumbled boulders. To
spend the night in the thin, icy air at the
top is an invigorating experience that is
best at sunrise, when you seem to be at the
summit of the world. Below are seas of
white cloud through which appear the
dark, sleeping waters of the Pacific. Then
comes a touch of rose on the white; the
black brightens to gray; the three snowy
mountains of Hawaii across the forty mile
channel detach themselves from the clouds
and solidify; the light filters down until
in what seems to be only few minutes the
ocean is blue once more and the land is a
green carpet. 1t is good to be alive, and
somehow coffee tastes better than ever be-
fore.
Kauai, the northernmost island, and geo.
graphically far older than the rest is called
the Garden Isle. There the vegetation is
more luxuriant, and the contrasts are more
striking than on the other islands. Kauai
has even a Grand Canon of its own; of
course it is little smaller than the canon
of Colorado, but its coloring is equally
brilliant, and its cloudy mountain back
ground makes it more beautiful.
Any country should be proud to have a
recreation ground like this, but we dwellers
on the mainland should not think of it as
only recreation ground. We should not
forget the brave pioneers who made it
what it is, who fought their way to pros
perity as strenuously as ever did the early
settlers of the West. They kept it safe for
America through all vicissitudes They
had the vision to see it as future integral
and necessary part of our country. We
shall be more than well repaid if we
maintain and constantly strengthen the
heritage that the Yankee pioneers of just
a century ago began to build for us.

There has been good fortune attend
ing this record, for there has been
few accidents to the city's equipment,
Last evening there was an mavoid-
able accident to the fire truck as as
sitant chief Stevenson took the
machine from the station to respond
TO the call from the Taylor residence,
where a small blaze had started ON

mechanism broke and the truck was

Saturday night at 11:55 to the resi-
dence of Edgar Huston, 400 West La
fayrtte street. to eXtinguish a small
fire which had been discovered in the
coal bin in the basement of the house.
The prompt arrival Of the firemen

from S. to $40.
Sunday evening at 5:45 the depart
ment was called to the residence Of
Charles P. Taylor GOA East Main
street, where sparks from the chim-
rov had started a blaze on the roof.
The timely discovery of the fire in its
incipiency and arrival of the depart
ment in good time saved the building

ably not exceeding $15 or 500 The
chemical apparatus was used to put
out the fire.
