WORLD COURT
FOES HOPE
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

By GEORGE +. HOLMES
The formidable band of Senate
irreconcilables who fought bitterly
against the World Court last jan
uary. and who are laying plans to
reverse the vote in the forthcoming
session, were more hopeful today
than ever Of success.
Since adjournment of Congress in
June g. number of Senators who
voted for the Court. under Admin
istration pressure, have had a
change of heart. The latest of
these is Senator Frank r. Gooding
(R.) OF. Idaho, who was renominated
by. his State convention yesterday
only after he had recanted his vote
ON the court. The convention
adopted an anti-court plank in its
platform.
Must Redeem Pledge
"I will stand squarely on the
plank, you have adopted today.
Senator Gooding Is quoted as haV-
ing said in a speech. 81 voted for
the court. for hoped it would he
"a factor for promoting the peace
of the world. But IL had the
vote to cast over again I would
vote! against any court that is a
part. of the Leagu of Nations"
Gooding, according to tie ire
concilables, will get q chance to
carry out his pledge OF reversing
his vote for q resolution of re-
versal will be introduced in the
Senate upon the = opening of the
session and pushed to a VOTE.
A good deal OF the irreconcilableS'
confidence is based upon the chain
of primary defeats that have been
visited upon Senators who voted for
the court-McKinley lin Illinois,
Pepper in Pennsylvania. Stanfield
in, Oregon, C1nnins in Iowa being
the. most prominent, while anti
court Senators have been UNIVERSAL.

12,0OO-YEAR-OLD RELICS

LONDON, Aug. 26.-Basket work

earthed by Miss Cation Thompson,
a we1l-known archaeologist, while

These relics are now at the Uni

Of those far-off days.
The basket work is chiefly rem.
nants OF granaries, revealed while

Of pits lined with coiled straw or a
species Of reed. in some of which
were wheat and barley grains stored
there by prehistoric farmers.
Examination has proved the
grains to be two kinds Of cultivated
wheat-enmer and bread.
The former was known to be used
in prehistoric times. but this ap-
pears to be the first record of
bread-wheat in such early days.

SAFETY PLEDGE FOR
CHILDREN AND PARENTS.

School children of 1900 cities and
towns of the United Stats will be
asked to sign a pledge jointly with
their parents to obey the "Ten
Commandments of Safety" which are
part of the intensive campaign to
help cut down the tremendous auto
mobile death toll of the nation, ac-
cording to an announcement by
Marcus A. Dow, director of the Stew
art Warner Safety Council for the
prevention of automobile accidents.
The child's teacher also is to sign
the pledge. Affirming the child's
name on the pledge is accompanied
by series of talks on safety by
the teacher. The parchment pledge
is given to the child to keep as a
permanent safety reminder. Mr..
BOWS Ten Commandments" are:
For Children and Pedestrians:

2. Wait until it is safe to cross

attention to the provisions of the
law? Hardly, for it would be like
robbing his till. Let the position be
in the hands of a person who would
let the knotted rope fall wherever
it was necessary and we would see
results from the law.
When there are farmers living
side by side and one tries to do all
in his power to keep his land free
from weeds and succeeds in doing
so and the other does very little or
nothing at all along that line, let

it should share in the expense of
carrying it on. But since the Ar
rowhead work is financed wholly by
local contributions, it would have
led to complications and irritations if
both associations canvassed this ter
ritory.
Therefore it has been arranged
that the Arrowhead's contribution
to the work of the Ten Thousand
Lakes association shall be made
through the Arrowhead association,
and chat is thoroughly sound and
just.
Anything like strife between the
two associations would have been
disastrous; but of course there
never was a likelihood tina that
would happen.
Both of the associations are do
ing priceless work for Minnesota
Ia work that will be far better APP
preciated five or ten years hence
than it is now.
They are engaged in capitalizing,
through advertising, one of the
states greatest assets-its summer
climate and its unparalleled advant-
ages as summer playground. AL
READY very large results of this work
have begun to flow in, but results
so far are nothing compared to
what will follow as the work goes
on.
In fact, if the people of Mime

lied what this work means, they
would be providing both associa-
tons with five times as much money
every year as they are providing

There are those in this country who
feel that it is the duty of the gov
eminent to support the individual
citizen and again there are others
who feel that all industries should
be given a subsidy in order that
wages be kept up to an exceptional
ly high level. These same expon-
ents of the subsidy system, are also
the loudest shouters on high taxes.
They forget that the larger the load
the government (which is them
selves) has to carry, the more must
be paid in taxes. The same applies
to state, county, municipal and

Chicago woke up the other day

other city? What is the gain in
that? Lock them np or use the
machine gun to rid the city of the
gangsters. The latter method is
the cheapest and most effectual, be-
sides a large portion of the sob
