Advocates cf Peace

As a nation we are advocates
of peace Not only should we re
frain from any act which might be
construed as calling for competition
in armament, but rather should we
bend our every effort 10 eliminate
forever any such competition. We
AN not and should not divorce our
own interests in this direction from
the interests of all the nations.
Surely the best interests of all are
found in directing the channels Of
public welfare moneys which would
otherwise be spent without repro
ductive results
Pointing out that the Government
had reduced its public debt below
the $4,000. .000,000 mark and now
is more than 5000, 900. 900 ahead
of the debt retirement schedule. the
President declared the nation was
ancial condition of all the great ma
tionS of the world.
But, from a financial standpoint
alone, he insisted, the United States
must refrain from any gesture
which could possibly be construed
as militaristic.

who advocate policies which would

Morchard Bishop, England, Jan. 27.
-(AP)-Oliver Henry Wallop, 65-
year-Old American citizen known here
on his North Devon estate as the
Earl of Portsmouth, is quietly bid
ing his time to take a seat in the
house of lords after punching cattle
for 40 years on the American pra1ries.
Earl Portsmouth, better known
among the ranches of Wyoming as
30. H." succeeded to the title last
year and Immediately came from the
United States to claim his estates.
Il shall take my seat in the house
of lords as soon as ever l can, but
think the odds are against me-" he
says. "For instance, | shall have to
reside here four or five years, 1 am
told, and shall have to get out natur-
alization papers and all that. l be-
came on American citizen in 1906.
Expresses Gratitude
Il shall not forget that I owe
America a debt of gratitude. After
living In country for more than 40
years, you rather take root in it, you
know. I was % years of age when
| went to America, it was just the
spirit of adventure that took me out
there. Those were the good old
ranching days and there were, of
course, hardships, but nobody con-
sidered them so then because every
body had to suffer them. From May
Is to October Is every one made his
bed on the ground without tent, on
open prairie.
81 shall go there for three or four
months every year. You see, l know
pretty well every man, woman and
boy in Wyoming, and elswhere and
they know me as 90. H., they call
me over there. In the old days with
the shifting population, you got to
know everybody. l have a boy at

there keeping my ranch-up at $50

deer, a few bears and grouse and
trout fishing, whereas here in Eng

mere shooting of pheasants."
The earl has the work of the flu
ture deeply at heart, but is at loss
as to what he will Go. When he
first went to British Columbia he had
to tramp $50 miles along a newly
made rail track, which he said was
real hard work, and now he is look

IN WHICH 1 TAKE A FLOP

Dear Nom:
L have your letter and also POPS
and don't wonder you both find it
fearful exciting to get nv letters
telling how l have told Mr.. Fdger-
ton what to tell the Spokesman to
say to the American people and then
that same day to get the newspaper
and see that He has said exactly
what l have said for Him to saw.
And just think Nom it is not only in
the Camden Republican that you
would read it but if you would of
been in Philadelphia then you would
OF saw it in the Philadelphia Demo-
crat and it would of been the same
IN Oshkosh or Lalipalousa wherever
them places is.
Indeed Mr.. EdgertOn says it would
be the same if you was to be in
france or in Japan or any of them
european countries because YOU see
we have got more money than all of
them put together and they all have
to borrow from US and so they are all
waiting round scared to see what we
are doing and if the Spokesman has

fast and they have not agreed with
Him then there is factories got to
shut down in South America but if
the Spokesman has just had a visit
with a congressman from back in the
hog-belt to tell Him that the hicks is
happy over the increases in their
bank mortgages why then the Spokes-
man perks up and oil promoters in
the Faro Islands decides that it is
all right to drill another well.
Yes it is most wonderful thing
to have happened to a poor manicure
girl from the Elite Beauty Parlors
and Mr.. Edgerton is a good and true
man and it is almost like what you
might call platnic friendship. 1t
is extra wonderful right now because
there was the greatest Man in the
