ReoisterInu Dismay.

We had recently moved to the city
and was particularly anxious to make
friends and have a happy year, so I
consented to take Sunday school
class.
During the opening exercises a girl
of twelve played violin solo. I stood
it as long as ] could and then burst
forth with considerable vehemence:
l"For goodness sake, why do they let
that kid play? She's numbering per-
fectly good music. Nothing at all is
better. Imagine bringing ahese young
sters up on sounds like that!"
I got no further, for the woman next
to me interrupted with, "Why, that's
my little daughter"
A closeup of me at that moment
would doubtless have won me a place
in the Notwithstanding.

Historians believe Lewis was killed
by robbers.
Surrounding the monument are the
remains of an iron fence, for which
the Tennessee legislature appropri-
ated $500 in 1848. Local tradition says
that during the war between the states
soldiers tore away some Of the pick
cts for the purpose of manufacturing
horseshoe nails.
The Tennessee Historical commits
sion plans to ask the legislature to
appropriate $1,000 for preservation Of
the Lewis monument.

d EJECTING the advice of certain
IN possibly timorous advisers, Presi-
dent Harding has firmly committed
himself, and his party so far as he is
able, to American membership in the
world court. In his New York address
before the members of the Associated
Press he asserted that this was in
keeping with American ideals, and fur
ther had been repeatedly advocated
by the Republican party in national
conventions and by himself as that
party's candidate. He explained the
plan clearly and without technicality
and told how important the tribunal
will be in the work of restoring Europe
to normal conditions. The President
insisted, as he has before, that he has
no intention of trying to ,inveigle his
country into the League Of Nations.
On this topic he said
s.In compliance with its Hedges the
new administration, which came into
power in March, 1921, definitely and
decisively put aside all thought OF the
United States entering the League of
Nations. 1t doesn't propose to enter
now, by the side door, the back door,
or the cellar door. I have no unseen
ly comment to offer on the league. IF
1t is serving the old world helpfully,
more power to it. But it is not for
Us. The senate has so declared, the
executive has so declared, the people
have so declared. Nothing could be
more decisively stamped with finality."
Concerning the fear Of some Of the
Republican leaders that the issue
would split the party, Mr.. Harding had
this to say:
81 would not have it thought that
hold this question paramount to all
others confronting our government. I
do not hold 1t a menace to the unity Of
any political party. It is not to be
classed as a party question, but If
any party, repeatedly advocating a
world court, is to be rended by the
suggestion OF an effort to perform in
accordance with it's pledges, 1t needs
a new appraisal of It's assets.
"Our problems at home invariably
call for FIRST consideration. Our own
house must be kept In order, our own
good fortune must be assured before
NE can be large contributors to world
progress or measurably helpful to hui
manity"
Senator'S Lodge, Brandegee and Wat
son Qndiana) are the most prominent
OF those who oppose the Presidents
program in the matter of the world
court, and the Massachusetts man was
selected to tell Mr.. Harding how dan
gerous it was to party unity. Senator
Mckinley of Illinois and Representa-
tive Graham, also Of Illinois, candi-
date for house leadership, announced
they would support the President, and
1t is certain that many Democrats will
do the same.

statement. but what other deduction
can be made from the assertions of La
Toilette, given to the press in Wash
ington last Wednesday? Here is a
part Of his Illumination:
"In its first aspect, this is a part of
the cleverly conceived plan of the in
ternational bankers to entangle the
United States in the affairs Of Europe
so that American wealth, American
soldiers, and American ships can be
used to safeguard and protect their
now almost worthless investments in
the bonds, currencies and enterprises
of the tottering nations of Europe.
This plan contemplates a political
sham battle in which the Democrats
will support the League of Nations and
the administration Republicans will
battle bravely for the world court-in
other words, for the league in dis
guised and diluted form. Under this
cunning plan, whether the pro-league
Democrats or the pro-court Republic
ans win, the result will be the same
the United States will be hopelessly en-
tangled in the European chaos.
"In it's second aspect, the gloridca-
ton of the world court is an attempt
to draw a red herring across the trail
Of the great domestic issues and thus
seek to save the administration and its
supporting special interests from the
wrath of an aroused and awakened
people. They want American farmers
to turn their eyes and their minds from
their own bankrupt farms to the dew
astated areas of Europe, aud thus for
get that their present deplorable con-
dition is the work Of those great mo-
nopolistic interests which now control
the political and economic machinery
of the United States.
La Follette's view is said to be also
that of Senators Johnson and Borah,
and all three Of them are planning to
trail after the President on his
speech-making tour and present to the
people their side of the argument.

commission denies that the tariff is to

they will not recognize in SO far as it

In the Mosul Oil region. At the open

his colleagues would safeguard the
legitimate national interests of the
United States and would uphold the
principle of equal commercial oppor-
tunity for all nations. Naturally he
made no specific mention of the Ches-
ter concession, and up to this time it
is said he has received no advices from
the State department regarding it. But
in Washington it was understood that
the government had carefully investi-

was not monopolistic in character, and
consequently would instruct the Amer
