FRENCH.4MERTCAV TREATY

There is no good reason why the United States
should not enter into such treaty with France the
French governments proposed two months ago. out
having far these two nations are concerned.
France is ready the United States government is said
to be friendly to the proposals. the public in both
tries would doubtless welcome It; the French para-
men and the United States congress might be expect
ed to ratify It.
Not that there is any danger Of war between Amer
lea and France. But many thoughtful Americans be-
eve that such treaty would be big contribution to
world peace, because it would be in the spirit of Lo
by which Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy
agreed to keep peace among themselves.
1t has been the fashion among Americans to
scott the Locarno compact. But less authori
y than former Chief Justice John II. Clarke familiar
with international law and keeny interested in all
peace efforts declares that Loearno represents the
high water of civilized diplomacy, going far be
yond the League Of Nations for which he has great
respect
/ hose four European powers have bound themselves
by interviewer obligations Britain and Italy agreeing
to go to the aid of either Germany France if is
attacked by tho other II the present there would
be no such complication. It would be direct, simple
agreement by which America and France would tell
each other and the world that they intended to submit
all disputes to peaceful methods of settlement.
It would be merely extension of the peace treaties
this country already has with many nations. Aneri-
can authorities say it be accomplished without
dargering the Monroe Doctrine any other essential
national policy. and without any entanglng alliances
II so, may it GO forward promptly.

Shots Fail To

Three shots over the head of a
fleeing Mexican relieved the man
of Sl.55 last night but failed to
halt his flight long enough for Pa
trolman Rosenquest to catch him.
The Mexican was seen by the pa
trolman prowling about near a
truck at the Sun packing shed. Is
the patrolman started to invcsti-
gate, the man hurried away. Ros
enquest gave chase and as the Mex

three times over his head. The
Mexican flattened himself on the
ground but got mp again and ran.

BE SURE TO VOTE

One week from today Ell Centre voters will decide
whether or not The city shall be bonded in the sum of
$4,000 to cover the removal Of the Eighth street ditch
ilttle opposition to the bond issue has developed,
and undoubtedly will be approved but that is beside
the point. The bond issue should be authorized by
large majority of tie voters of the city In this way
when the bonds are offered for sale, much better
price can be obtained for them than if they were au-
thorlzed by minority number of voters.
Financial institutions which buy bonds investigate
very thoroughly into this phase of the matter before
making purchase The better price obtained for the
bonds, the less expense to the taxpayer.
Every voter should make it his busness-now-to
remember the date, Friday July / and be sure to cast
his vote There IS only voting place, at city hall,
easily accessible to the majority of voters The polls
viii be open from a until p. thereby giving
everyone plenty of chance to vote
The chamber Of commerce has pledged its support
to the bond issue. and will help in getting the vote
Similar action should be taken by every civic and fra
ternal organization in the city This does not exclude
churches by any means Voting is duty, as much as
privilege and those eligible to vote can we'll be
minded of their duty.
There 3,098 registered voters in Ell Centric There
should be at least 1000 votes cast next Friday.
