OH HORRORS!

We wonder why it is that the
nrophet editor never lets out even
so much as a peep as to who is to be
the next P. M. here. In the past ne
prophesied--and his prophecy came
true. Why does he keep silent now!
BY the way, this reminds us that
anyone wishing to write a letter OF
recommendation to the powers
that be- in behalf of his cousin,
can get letters ready epared-like ke
Aunt Jemimah's pancake f1our-all
nicely worded and written by calling
at the Herald office. All you have to
do is to put in the name. We don't
know, but 'spect they will furnish a
stamped addressed envelope also.
We understand that quite few
have been offered these ready pre-
pared form letters. However there
are tragedies almost too terrible to
relate-we have heard of where
they have been passed out to the
supposedly "solid Ones" and what
did they do but "sign 'em up for an
other candidate" You just can't
tell these times what some fool Re-
publicans will do.

REMEMBER THEM ALL

Recently representative from
one of the large hospitals of the
state and nation was here and in
terested one organization so that
the members obligated themselves
to the extent of keeping bed III
the institution he represented, for the
coming year. He was also given a
liberal free-will offering to be used
in support of the same hospital.
This particular hospital, like many
others, cares for thousands of those
who are commonly called charity
patients. Giving to it is very COM
mendable, and shows the proper
spirit. There is nothing more
worthy one can do than to assist
those who have contracted illness
or met with bodily accidents. Were
it not for such institutions, unfor-
tunates would be obliged to suffer
pain, which in many cases would
terminate in death. 1t is great to
feel and know that there are places
where many are being healed, and
where all patients, whether rich or
poor, are under skilled medical at
tention. We should assist such
hospitals all we can, but while do
ing it let us not forget our own hos
pitfalls in our midst. They are doing
lust the same sort of good things
that the larger ones are doing.

THE GREATEST CONTRIBUTION

The amiable President Harding,
intensely pleased with himself and
his League of a Few Nations, re-
marks that his delegates at the Linz
itations Conference "are working
ont the greatest contribution to
peace and goodwill which has ever
marked the Christmas time in all
the Christian era"
Well, we'll! Isn't he the man with
the long memory and the compre-
hensive mind? Some of us think
there were events three years ago
that went much farther toward es-
tablishing peace and goodwill than
this little affair for regulation OF
"the region of the Pacific" OF
course three years ago there was not
much goodwill toward Germany.
but that can grow in time, and the
collapse of Germany was the great
est blow that Mars ever received.
and nothing could have given such
an impetus toward permanent peace
as the recollection of the world war.
However, Mr.. Harding may have
meant to refer only to diplomacy
and conferences, and all that sort of
thing. What does the Limitation
Conference amount to? It contains
the United States, and that is an i'm
portant fact; but even with allow
ances for that it does not amount
to anything remotely comparable
With the League of Nations. Mr..
Harding invited five nations to CON
fer on the reduction of naVies, and
nine nations 10 settle controversies
in the Far East. Every one of
these nations except our own is i'll
the League. The League contains
II nations instead of five or nine;
it's scope covers the entire world in
stead OF the region of the Pacific" :"
whatever that may be; and the
IL meth0ds of preventing war, the pro-
cesses Of settling international con-
troversies, and the means of dis
ciplining recalcitrants, are all care
fully provided in the covenant, and
all the 81 members are firmly
pledged until two years after giving
notice of their withdrawal, to sup
port each in enforcing the agree
ments.
TIE only thing in definite shape
that has come out of the Limitations
Conference is the quadrilateral
treaty. and nobody knows exactly
what that means Even the Presi-
dent and the American delegates
are not agreed. The President says
it is not an alliance, ard it does not
pledge any member to use force.
Therefore, there is no contract; no
body knows what any one Of the
four would do if the treaty were vio-
lated by a member or a nonmem-
Der; no one knows what respect
means, and there is no means of en-
forcing the agreement, if there is
any agreement. If somebody fails
