Cocky Doodle peerins out into the
darkness. The next minute he gave
a frightened squawk as Old Man
Weasel grabbed him by the neck.
But, thank goodness, the next
frightened sound came from Old
Man Weasel himself. Yes sir. Be-
fore he could run off with the
trusting little rooster the big Pol
iceman Dog had the old weasel by
the collar.
"Keep quiet" growled the kind
protector of law and order in Rab-
bitville, giving an extra twist on the
collar. you come with me without
fuss or the part in your hair I'll
ping into poetry at such a time.
Well, why not, I should like to
know. Mother Goose always spoke
in rhyme. Why shouldn't the good
Policeman Dog of Rabbitville?
"Oh dear, and oh DEAR" gasped
Cocky Doodle, now freed from the
clutch Of the wicked old weasel,
you came just in time, my good
Policeman Dog"
Ahead of time, my dear little
rooster" answered the good old
dog. Now go back to bed, but don't
forget to wake up Mr.. Happy Sun
WITH your COCh ID -uOOQlo sung III the

Old Man Weasel after him.
Take off dear Uncle Lucky's
coat" he ordered as soon as they
were out of the Barnyard. "You
shan't masquerade another moment
In the dear old gentleman bunny's
clothes" Then slipping a pair Of
handouts on the old weasel's front
paws, he started off for the Rabbit
Vile Jail.
AS he neared Uncle Lucky's little
red shingled house on the corner of
Lettuce Avenue and Carrot Street,
he stopped.
Guess III hang his coat on the
kitchen doorknob." he said to him

more he trotted off still holding on
tight to the old weasel.
Let me go, won't you," he begg-
ed.
Not till the Turkey Judge sees

Dog, and in the next story you shall
hear what happened after that.

France has so far been unable to ne
gotiate anything resembling a salts
factory agreement.
Japan has gone step further than
the settlement of mere outstanding
disputes. A crucial clause in the
treaty reads as follows:
The contracting parties
shall prohibit any individual or
organization. either directly or
indirectly under their jurisdic-
ton, from attempting to disturb
the peace and security Of any
part of the other contracting
party's territory; also from un-
dermining the friendship be-
tween the contracting parties or
between a contracting party and
a third Power.
This clouse has reference. Of
course. to the propaganda activities
of the Moscow 1nternationale. but it
may also well be working agree
ment the two nations for co-opera-
ton in China and could easily be eX-
tended to cooperation with relation
to any third Power" Those who
see in this agreement the beginnings
of an alliance between Japan and
Russia NAV not be so far off the
track as they seem. And Russo
Japanese alliance. now that the
Anglo Japanese Alliance has been
broken, would fit in almost perfectly
with the longtime foreign policy Of
Japan.
However this treaty may work out
in practice. there can be no doubt
about its Importance in the field OF
world politics. The situation in the
Pacific has been gaining more and
more attention ever since the rise. of
Japan to the position of a great
Power. That attention was definite
ly focused at the time of the Wash
ington conference. and great relief
was felt when the United States
shouldered a large part of the burden
OF maintaining political stability in
that region.
When the situation was Complicat-
ed by the entrance of Russia into
Chinese affairs. the United states
Ambassador at Peking came back to
Washington for discussion and in
structionS. He has since made 4
move designed to speed the execution
of the Washington agreements relat-
ing to judicial extraterritoriality and
tariff autonomy in China.
Now that Russian influence has
been further extended and Consoli-
dated. the United States will find its
course more complicated and diff
cult. The emergence of Soviet Rus

anced politics of the Far East and
the Pacific has. in this Russo-Jap-
ancso Treaty. become 4 fact and a
problem-a fact which the United
States is bound to recognize and
consider; a problem which must be
correctly solved if the balance set up
az the Washington Conference is to
be restored.

HOPEFUL, NOTWITHSTANDING

We trust the saints are safe from
the incisive nib Of the versatile pen
Of Don c. Seitz. who through the
medium of the Forum magazine en-
tertains those that delight in the un-
usual and thrills the captious with a
review of our Presidents. Ordinary
folks may grieve that most of those
worthless have passed beyond the
reach Of helpful criticism, II such it
may be termed. Indeed 1t Is rather
Of Washington's Farewell Address in
schools, Notwithstanding Mr.. Seitz
finds that the Father of our Country
contributed nowise to his fame by
his Presidency. However, we pre-
sumo it is sufficient unto the day
that Mr.. Seitz finds joyous moments
in scratching the varnish and peck
ing through the veneer Of popular
conception of Washington. Jefferson,
Adams the first and Adams the sec
ond, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant, Nc
Kinley and Roosevelt, not forgetting
Wilson.
He may be forgiven likening
Buchanan to a swallow-tail. though
this be not piling the Pelion of
Seitz on the Ossa OF previous
criticism. only giving the latter a
touch Of modernity-or something of
the sort. And really the homely
virtues Of Rutherford Is. Hayes
should be recognized. Saying that
Benjamin Harrison came near being
a model President would not even
warm him were he alive. though he
would recognize it's belated justice.
We may agree that Andrew Johnson
never had chance, though remind
ed that he was very clumsy In
reaching for 1t.
Mr.. Seitz will need be nimble If
he overtakes Popular Conception,
that yet remains a good insurance
risk. What matter so long as he has
intrigued the readers. though from
the tree he has stripped 'cater-
pillars and blossoms together"

Editorial Comment
Russia Pierces Far-Eastern Front
(Public Ledger)


Soviet Russia has emerged victor
ious from her political camnaign in
the Far East. The red diplomats
tied down China in treaty of recog
milton and amity last summer. The
other day in Peking they signed with
Japan a treaty reopening diplomatic
rela tions and binding the two ma
tions much more closely than the
ordinary requirements Of interna-
tional amity demanded.
In this soJapanese rapproche-
mcnt the United States is vitality and
deeply concerned. 1t opens the doors
of the Far East to a new and dis
turbing interloper. From now on
not only with the extension of Rus
sian influence in that chaotic and
unstable country but with Russian
influence at least tacitly supported
at Toxic.
1t means more than this. 1t means
that Russia has at last forged an ef-
fective wedge with which to break
the iron ring of the Pacific. fashion,
ed at the Washington Conference to
hold that increasingly important po-
litical area IN some sort Of stability
and order. The intrusion of Russia
as a jor element in Far Eastern
pCullCS puts out OIL Kelter the Dai-
ance set UP by the Washington
treaties and threatens the machinery
devised to keep the peace Of the Pa
cific.
Some such idea as this was un-
questionablv in the mind of Foreign
Minister Tchitcherin when he assert
cd that
the agreement with Japan is
more than an ordinary settle
ment Of disputed questions be-
tween both countries. 1t is going
to consolidate Soviet influence in
the Far East and reflect upon
the complex political relations Of
the world.
Great Britain and France have
recognized the Bolshevist Govern
ment of Russia and reopened diplo-
matte relations. But in neither case
has a single outstanding question
been settled. The Anglo Russian
treaties concluded by Ramsay Mac
Donald have been relegated to limbo
by the Baldwin Government. and

A PUZzLiNG SITUATION

The United States Senate is said
to be nonplussed. Conditions in
which that distinguished body is In
experienced confront it. Never be-
fore. 1t appears, has 1t encountered
an attorney general giving political
expediency no thought. We are told
that Mr.. Stone went ahead with
what he deemed to be the duties Of
his Office without consulting the
President or others among the party
leaders. He secured another indict-
ment Of Senator Wheeler while the
Senate was in session. Senator
Wheeler's attorney. Senator Walsh
OF Montana wants to know just what
this new indictment is based upon
and Mr.. Stone sees no occasion to
tell him at this stage of the proceed
ings.
1t is said OF Mr.. Stone that
throughout his administering Of the
office OF attorney general he has
played no politics whatever, so no
wonder the Senate doesn't know just
where 1t is at, that Democrats and
radicals are concerned. They had
enough last summer Of this investi-
eating business until their burns
then received are healed. Besides
they don't like to be reminded Of the
dirt they waded through when they
were playing politics with mems rep.
utations. They We're recently re-
minded Of this when Frank A. VAN
derlip paid a round sum to settle
with the publishers of the paper,
which President Harding sold. for
the false charge about the paper
being bought with dirty money.
The public isn't anxious for an
other period of key-hole sleuthing
by such as Vanderlip. CASTOR Means
anu adventuresses: and Lafollette
and Wheeler now have nothing to
gain from it. In fact reports indi-
cate that these former agitators are
really nervous. Just what an at
torney general who doesn't play pol
iticS and knows how to run his de-
partment. might do to them is un-
certain. This is distasteful and
makes them distrustful.

Food for Thought

Starting with the fair supposition
that a remedy costing 25 or SO
cents bottle frequently saves a
$500 fee, imagine If you can the
total savings effected by the many
millions Of bottles of Johr 1on's
Anodyne Liniment sold since 1919.
There is nothing so positively
good as this doctors prescription for
Grippy Colds, Bronchial Colds, Sore
Throat, Cramps, Chills, etc. More
than 100 years Of splendid success
has attended the internal and ex-
ternal use Of this famous old family
remedy.
1t is not unreasonable to assume
that many 25 or so cent bottle of
Johnson's Anodyne Liniment has
saved a Is or so dollar total Of
expense,

DEALING WITH NARCOTICS

The present outlook for continue

throughout the world is satisfying.
although not much has come Of 1t
except to arouse public sentiment
and turn the spotlight on those who
are seeking to balk the movement.
For fifteen years efforts on an inter-
national basis have been made to
check this evil Notwithstanding
which the slimy tentacles Of the vice
have STRENGTHENED their grip on all
parts Of the world. The war was a
disturbing factor. So easily may the
drug be smuggled that for country
like ours to attempt by regulations
at home to put a stop to the trade
would be much like trying to sweep
back the tide with hemlock broom.
If all were similarly situated the
endeavor would afford brighter
promise. but all nations are not.
England and Japan. as well as sew
eral others. have financial interests
at stake. and while they profess will
ingness to disregard those It Is in
credible that their attitude is not af-
fected thereby.
When the League of Nations took
the matter up it was evident that
suppression In 1920 was no nearer
than in 1912. If as near. The spread
OF the evil was and is terrifying. all
things considered. No one knows.
not even our Mr.. Porter at Geneva
how extensive the evil has become in
our own country. There is nothing
for it but to continue the fight. 1t IL
international in scope: the countries
that are interested for gain are also
interested for their morals. Among
all those people are those who see
the moral side. Their support must
be enlisted. The interests that are
seeking blood money from the bus
mess should be held up to scorn. We
must not be discouraged by slow
ness: that is inevitable. but the goal
is tremendously important. We must
keep it in view.
