Editorial Comment

The Treaty With Great Britain
(Clipshoet, Board Of Temperance etc.)
1t Is our opinion that the United
States Senate would make a
prodigious mistake to refuse ratifi-
cation of the treaty with Great
Britain designed to control rum
smuggling. provided always that
advance notices have truly described
the proposed agreement.
There is ample reason to believe
that in general practice port officials
have permitted foreign ships to bring
into American waters such album
dant supplies of liquor ,"for medicinal
purposes that passengers on such
ships have been fully supplied with
beverage on the return voyage to
Europe.
While no individual or organi-
cation is more unrelenting in its
hostility to the beverage liquor
traffic, we also share the general
opinion in America that we have
no right to enforce our standards
on British ships even by indirection,
except as. it may be necessary to
protect essential rights of the
United States. Whatever accom-
mediation is reached should be reach
ed by honorable agreement and not
by evasion.

Kinq to Make Sons Dukes

King George will shortly create
two more royal dukes in the persons
of his younger sons, Prince Henry and
Prince George, it is stated by some
of the court intinates who claim to
have inside knowledge. In the case
of Prince Henry the announcement
may be expected soon.
This step has been urged upon his
Majesty for some time, as the royal
dukes of England have been con-
spicuous for their smallness of num-
bers since the days of George Ill,
whose ample family supplied seven
holders of dukedoms. The numbers
of this rank gradually dwindled until
in the latter part of Queen Victoria's
reign they were confined to her three
sons, and at the coronation of George
v. there. were only two-the Prince
of Wales, as Duke of Cornwall, and
the Duke of Connaught.
At the present time this number
has only been supplemented by the
creation of Prince Albert in 1920 as
Duke of York, and the existing num-
Der is barely sufficient to officiate at
the opening of bazaars and the I'M
yelling of monuments and to attend
to the other duties which fall upon
royal shoulders.

I Little Jack Rabbit and Uncle
Lucky. the old gentleman bunny, liv-
ed near each Nother in Rabbit Land.
Little Jack Rabbits cottage had a
matched roof and a red chimney,
and Uncle Lucky's little house, a red
roof with gray stone chimney. A
white picket fence ran around both
little houses and red apple tree
grew near the little rabbits front
gate. and a rose bush near Uncle
Lucky's.
One day as these two little Dummies
sat on a los eating candy carrots,
they agreed that it would be fun to
hide in Squirrel Nutcracker's Old
Chestnut Tree. @
No sooner said than done. Before
the candy carrots were half eaten,
on tney hopped to the Big Chestnut
Tree in the Shady Forest. Close to

Lucky. So, the two little bunnies
sat down and began to nibble. Dear
me! They were so busy that they
didn't hear Squirrel Nutcracker come
skipping over the dried leaves.
"Gracious mel" he exclaimed under
his breath, on reaching the Big
Chestnut Tree. what right have

"Dear mel" exclaimed Uncle Lucky
and. without waiting to say more,
they hoped out and away to the
dear Old Bramble Patch where Lady
Love, the little rabbits mother, was
baking q carrot cake.
BY and by, the little bunny grew
tired OF playing, and, hopping down
the little path to the front gate, left
his bunny uncle with Lady Love to
talk over the news OF Rabbit Land. :.

for moment that he didn't keep his

Hawk might be watching him at
that very moment. Oh yes. Dear
me. little Dummies have to be careful.
very careful indeed when the7 go out
for a hop. That's the reason Lady
Love often tried to keep her little
bunny boy in the Old Bramble
Patch. And in the next story you
shall hear what happened after that.
