DISARMAMENT

The question of reduction of naval ornaments
has been under discussion for long time, and
with the coming of Premier Ramsay Macdonald
of Great Britain to the United States with this
purpose in view it would look that perhaps some
thing might be done along this line.
The facts that Macdonald comes to this country
with an open mind and says that Great Britain is

mind you, he says, he confiscated 5,2lO quarts u
whisky-damn good whisky, too,-worth $40 per
quart We are sure he did not report any less
than he seized, but not so that ne did not re-
port a whole lot more than he seized-h what ne
tells of the amount that he seized is no more truth
full than what he says it is worth, then we THINK
the whole story is just shot air."
How does the Colonel fix $40 as the value OF
each quart that he seized? Was it all the same
brand, the same quality?
We happen to know that the highest price palo
for quart of liquor at the Canadian dlspensary Is
$3.50 and the most of it sells at $500 per quart
We wonder if the Colonel is able to turn it at that
price, and thus fixes it the prices ne can get Tor
it, say at Great Falls. If so fair enough-we won
der how beer is worth $1.O0 the quart when the
Colonel seizes it, when it sells for % cents IN Can
ada-and the price for the wine, too, of $40 the
quart. Where does the Colonel get it.
Now lets get at the facts:
5216 CD quarts of whisky at $15.64S
2S,42O quarts of beer at 25c--------------- 7,lO5
APO quarts of wine at $2.O0-.----.-.-----.--- $40
70 cars at 1881 each Cheap enough -- PATS
ounces morphine at $50 -.-4------------.-..- 64O

A head horses at $25 Cheap enough) ----..-- 100
Miscellaneous grips, etc. (probably right $40
Correct total value ..-.-..--..--------.S Sol ,3O2
These are Sheridans figures debunked: these
are fair submit to any
Now we don't believe that Sheridan ever seized
that amount of whisky or beer-we only have his
word for it.
The car prices he returned at 1881 is we be-
lieve, about what the booze runners bought their
cars back for. Of course they may have paid
little the side to someone to get the car
back at that price.
If Sheridan seized the amount of liquor he did,
when and where did he seize it and from whom,
an what did he do with it? Who him when
he destroyed it? No doubt there several pres
ent.
The more think about it the less we believe
any of Sheridan's figures reliable probably
the figures don't seem goofy to the editors OF
the Tribune-they believe most anything if proper
arrangements are made.
We do hope the Colonel gets re-appointed 81
that he buy another apartment house, anC
keep his patrol babies grabbing old ladies' coffee
pots up here.
We wait for the next story holding our breath.

Discussion of the Hoover pro-
gram for supposedly drastic re-
duction in the army and navy es-
tablishmnets was bound to fill the
papers next day, thereby throwing
into a certain degree of eclipse the
Coolidge-Kellogg pageant of peace.
And it would take Several days for
the public to discover that COM
mission of officers from the gen
eral staff of the army would be
about the last body of men on
earth who would recommend anv
drastic reduction in the army es-
tablishment. AS Sen. Borah re-
marked when he read the glad
news, a civilian commission would
have meant something, but army
officers can be counted upon to
stand by each other.
AS Hoover pointed out, the ar-
my and navy budget for 1893 as
now estimated, will be $500 nm .
600 which is $12O,OOO,O0O mars

spare room in the White House all |
garnished for entertaining Calvin
Coolidge, and with Frank Kellogg,
former secretary of state, run
ming around giving optimistic in
terviews, it looked for a while as
though President Hoover would
play scenery in the tableau of July
"a, when the Kellogg-Briand anti
war pact was to be proclaimed in
the capital. ENJOYS of all nations
except Soviet Russia, which had
been first to ratify and first to
obey the pact-were invited. 1t
seemed that about all Herbert
Hoover could do was to read the
proclamation and shake hands,
while Kellogg and Coolidge, who
promoted the pact, posed and talk
ed into the sound cameras.
But Herbert has nose for pub
licity. Anti-war pacts suggest the
scrapping of war-making equip
ment. That suggests tax reduc-
ton, or at least saving in the
budget. So on the day before the
ceremony, Herbert announced to
the press that he was going to cut
down the cost of the army and
navy. Well, not exactly that, but
at least he was going to appoint a
commission to look into the econ
structive" revamping of the army,
in the hope of making economies
Of cours che was not going to re-
duce the national defense, but in

son of the ratification of the anti

On the night before the weekly shampoo the

We all know that olive oil is conducive to the
