District Ornamental
Iron Works Showing
New Flower Stand

A very useful and novel all-metal
flower stand in being manufactured
by the District Ornamental Iron
Works, at 4s K st. n. w.
This stand is being manufactured
in their own plant and can be used
in a number of ways, for both in
side and outside use. The rests for
the flower pots are adjustable and
also can be left off, making the
stand a combination one to be used
to hold from one to five plants.
The trays in which the pots rest
are detachable to enable one to
empty the water that accumulates.
They have very tastefully deco
rated the stand in all green or green

considered when making up your

Senator La Toilette of wisconsin and

and Senator Wheeler Of Montana.
Then there comes the really surpris-

Mr.. Rawleigh's voluminous and un-

a mathematical equity" with the

Rawleigh is sustaining. What their re-
searches and publishings tend to prove
Is that the proposed increases on most
of the really important farm products
will do the mass of our agriculture
popula ton not the slightest bit Of good.
In other words. while Mr.. Nicholson
is telling the world that the high in

half Of Mr.. Rawleigh and his assem-

but Is, bunk.
Mr.. Rawleigh. therefore. Is under
mining and utterly destroying the
whole idea that an excessive tariff can
be made right by merely granting ex-

when Mr.. Nicholson has got through
trying to fiatten the tariff and Mr..
Hoover has got through trying to mod

notify the other Ssignatories Of Tia
KELLOGG treaty that Russia has invaded
Chinese territory in Manchuria.
There is nothing in the treaty binding
its signatories to take action against
any nation that may violate the terms
of the treaty. Moral suasion and the
force of world opinion alone may be
invoked against nation or nations
who violate the terms Of the treaty.
Should war come between Russia and
China, claims doubtless win be made
not alone by the Chinese, but by the
Russians, that their adversaries under
/ took aggressive warfare. Both, doubt
less, will also maintain that they have
acted on the defensive. It will remain
for the other nations of the world and
for public opinion generally to place the
burden on one or the other.
So far the Kellogg treaty, 1t is felt
here in high of1icial circles, has played
It's part IN preventing an outbreak OF
war In the Far East. There is a strong
feeling that had 1t not been for the
treaty renouncing war China and Rus
STA would already be ut grips.
The kellogg treaty makes no denial
Of the right of defensive warfare. After
China shall have called attention tc
the fact that her territory has been
invaded by Russia-provided her terri
tory is invaded-she would be at liberty
under the terms Of the treaty. to. de-
clare q state of war with Russia.
A feeling Of optimism in regard To
the Russia China situation continues
to exist here and in other capitals, not
withstanding recent reports indicating
warlike moves on the part Of both
nations. Even though there may b.
border clashes between the troops OF
the two nations. the feeling exists that
the subject of controversy between the
two may be adjusted without actual re.
course to war.
A war between Russia and Chfns
might be localized, or 1t might have
far-reaching consequences involving
other nations. The interests Of Japan
1t has been suggested, might quickly In.
volye that country. Both Russia and
China In recent years have been dis
turbed by internal strife. war with
another nation might well serve to
unity the people Of China or the people
Of Russia. 1t was the internationa
wars involving France Immediately after
the French Revolution, at the close OF
the eighteenth century. that eventually
brought about the formation Of q strong
centralized government Of the French.
What course the signatories to tn,
Kellogg treaty renouncirg war may fee
called upon to pursue in the event thai
they are notified by China that Russis
has invaded Chinese soil, or vice versa
is q mere matter of speculation. 1t may
be expected, however, that the worlC
| powers will not look upon such a con-
| fiict lightly, and that steps may be
/ taken by some Of them to end the con-
fiict, and that offers may be made by
the powers TO use their good ofices te
adjust the Russo Chinese differences.
