FEELING Them ont

another arms conference whose object
shall be the limitation Of war aircraft,
swift cruisers and submarines.
II would be mighty interesting 10 read
what these 'fcelers" produce in the way
of feeling Of other nations, for there is
much difference between present condi-
tons and those prevailing at President
Harding's disarmament conference. The
Harding conference ran smoothly because
Uncle Sam was showing an inclination.
and certainly had the ability, to build "A
navy superior 20 all others. Today, the
foreign governments. especially Japan and
France, are building the war craft that
Mr.. Coolidge would limit, Mt a great rate.
and Uncle Sam Is doing comparatively
nothing along that line.

Who SpQnks?

+ ETS go to it, There is a hiatus in
l. the hot discussion Of most other inn
portant matters and a Cleveland Judge
has raised a living issue that ought TO be
settled.
Has father a right TO spank the baby
You can see that, at this season of the
year. when the floor is cold and father
has been out late celebrating the landslide.
and baby is bowling bloody murder and
wanting TO be walked with and coddled,
fathers inclination is TO spank. Often the
temptation is too strong for human endur-
Rnce. Nothing save poSterio chastise-
ment seems TO fit the case. Anyway, John
0'Boyle, of Cleveland, felt the urge and
applied il 10 his ~9-month-old baby. Mrs.
0'Boyle objected, whether or not in pro-
test against outrage of her inalienable
rights the dispatches do not state. She
had John hailed into court and he will
spend 90 days in the workhouse.
The case should be taken TO the United
States supreme court. If father has no
right to spank the baby, has mother?
Certain it is that nature has given the
baby the right, if not the duty, to squat
until somebody Subdues it, hasn't il?

They Call 1t DipLomacy

THE new British government has for
L mally repudiated the treaty negoti-
ated by former Premier Macdonald with
the Russian government. At the same
time the British foreign secretary has
notified the Russian government that it
has no doubt a TO the authenticity of the
Zlnovief letter, which letter is the osten-
slble reason for repudiating the treaty.
Now the Zinovieff letter-a Bolshevist
propaganda screed-has been repudiated
as u forgery by Zinovieff and the Russian
government. The situation is as If our
Secretary Hughes name were attached to
a trouble-making letter published in Lon
don and our secretary swore by his sacred
whiskers that he didn't write the letter
and our government officially repudiated
It. The situation differs, however, in that
Great Britain in the latter case would not
dare doubt our official statement. We are
big and strong. Russia, while big. is not
considered strong.
"Altho it was felt that TO save British
prestige the authenticity of the letter
must be upheld, there is no doubt in any
quarter that it was a forgery" So cables
the usually well informed London CORE
spondent of the New York World.
This is what they call diplomacy.

is not always in Love. Often il is not
even in Health. Gold rarely has il. It's
presence in Fame is, usually, as transitory
as the wind.
1t is happiness.
Love and selfishness travel much in
company, and happiness departs when
self dominates. Health carries little happi-
ness save when it also bears promptings
and ability to do. Gold has its penalty
in envy, loss of the love of near ones. even
loss of interest in possessions, since he
who can get without effort misses the
JOY of getting. Fame offers naught save
a short, sharp cry of pleasure that is heard
by the world today and lost in the noises
of tomorrow.
Happiness! 1t depends upon the serv-
ice rendered thru love, health, gold and
fame, and few there are who find it in
full.
Yet, maybe, old Diogenes possessed it
in his tub.
