Tons Of Water
 Used To Put Out
 Raging Night Fire

Fire from an unknown cause
 broke out Tuesday evening at about 7:30 o'clock to the rear and between the walls of the Com merce pool hall and the Palace. The blaze seemed to have had a good start before the alarm was sounded. The glare penetrated high in the darkened skies and , great pillows of smoke poured forth. But, as usual, the Seward Volunteer Fire Department res- bonded promptly and in less than an hour, the blaze was conquered.
 Two hose lines to the rear and three in front, shot hundreds of gallons of water onto the buildings and probably the great CT loss will be from water and not the fire, itself. However, no chances could be taken owing to the location of the fire between wooden buildings. It is said that it was fortunate no greater dam age resulted
 Some household effects were re- moved to a safety zone during the height of the fire. A large number of spectators remained at the scene throughout
 The fire fighters were handicap ped somewhat by the stygian dark ness The spotlight on the fire truck helped for awhile but when the truck was moved flashlights had to be used. Finally, a local car owner, with a brilliant spotlight on his automobile, turned his spot light on the buildings. Soon after wards other business houses ran out extension electric lights These, together with the dock lights which were turned on early, dispelled the problem.
 One hose line was kept unrolled throughout the entire night from a hydrant to the scene of the fire and a close watch was kept to pre- vent emberS from reigniting. Steam shot out from the heated wood for many hours after the blaze was eXtinquiShed.

Local Securities
A Helpful Step

Congress has at last fit to afford measure of
protection to Washington investors by including purely local
securities among those which under new Federal law
must be registered with the Federal Trade Commission
The Washington Times has consistently advocated that
law be enacted shield citizens unscrupuous pro
moters and after President Roosevelt
OF the national law The Times insisted that provision
be made in the bill to the local situation
The protection afforded by the national bill on purely local
securities not adequate but step the right
direction.
probably would have been better to have provided that
local securities be registered with agency such
the Public Utilities Commission
Also would be preferable establish some system of
licensing, locally, saesmen of securities.
These provisions had been worked in bills previously
before Congress- but the bills blocked Now whatever
control exists will be exercised by Federal agency
This control should not be interpreted finally solving
the problem but should be used stopgap to the
situation until adequate and effective local law can be
pushed through Congress.

The Senate
Interpretation

These conditions were set
forth in the form Of an in
terpretation of the Pact
which Senator Borah read
to the Senate as the COM
mittee's Interpretation.
Speaking for the commit
tee, he assured the Senate
that this Pact "does not
provide sanctions, expressed
or implied.
Should the Pact be vio-
lated, it was stipulated that
"there is no obligation or
commitment, express or i'm
piled, upon the part of any
of the other signers of the
treaty to engage in punitive
or coercive measures as
against the nation violating
the treaty.
The Senator further as
sured the Senate, on behalf
of the committee, that the
BRAND Kellogg Pact els a
voluntary pledge upon the
part of each nation that it
will not have recourse to war
except in self defense, and
that it will not seek settle
ment of its international con-
troversies except through
pacific means.
And then the Senate ad-
vised and consented to the
ratification of the Pact upon
the distinct understanding

The Teeth Would
Eat Peace

This notification proposal
seems to have been camou-
flaged as a dental operation
upon the Pact. By this oper-
alton, the Pact is to be given
set of teeth. And these
teeth are guaranteed to pro-
vide the Pact with a "bite"
it never had before.
This excursion into dental
diplomacy was made under
the skillful guidance of Sir
John Simon, the British
Secretary of Foreign Af-~
fairs. He submitted an
amendment to the Pact. By
the terms of this amendment
the United States, in the
event of a "breach or
threat of a breach" of the
Briand-Kellogg Pact, would
be obliged to join with
the member powers Of the
League in determining and
punishment an alleged ag-
gressor nation.
Sir John Simon's amend
ment would nullify both the
letter and the spirit of the
Pact because it would violate
all the conditions upon which
the Senate advised and con-
sented to the ratification of
that Pact. Fortunately for
the American People these
conditions are a matter OF
Senate record.
On January IS, 1929, Sem
ator Borah, then chairman
of the Committee on For
eign Relations, submitted to
the Senate a recommends
ton for the ratification of
the Briant-Kellogg Pact un-
der certain conditions.

In the current issue OF Eng

article thus quotes an eml-

consent of the United States,

the American Constitution,
only the United States SEN

Conduct In Executive:
Control In Senate

In view of the fact that
the BRAND Kellogg Peace
Pact was ratified by the
Senate, it cannot be legally
amended except with the adj
vice and consent of the
Senate.
And the only theory upon
which the Department OF
State could bestow upon the
British Secretary of Foreign
Affairs the privilege Of
amending this Pact for the
United States is that the
Constitution is not only
"out of date" as the Lon
don banker said it was but
also that it is no longer in
effect.
Under our Federal Con.
stitution the conduct Of for
eign relations is entrusted
to the Executive branch of
the Government. But the
control of foreign policy is
reserved to the Senate.
And the wisdom Of this
system Of senatorial control
never inspired a more en-
thusiastic defense than it re-
ccived from a more eminent
Britisher, a greater scholar,
a more distinguished diplo-
matist than any London
banker can ever hope to be.

Merits Of System
Seen by Bryce

In his chapter on the
Senate as an Executive
and Judicial Body" the late
James Bryce, in "The Amer
lean Commonwealth" " thus
defends the wisdom Of the
Fathers in placing the con-
troll of foreign policy in the
Senate:
ut is a merit of the system
Of senatorial control that Il
has tended, by Encouraging the
executive from schemes which
may proUe resultless, to dinin-
ish the taste for foreign enter
prises, prOtector0tcs, Tespons'-
bilities of all sorts beyond its
Own frontier. 1t is the easier
for the Americans to practice
this reserve because they need
no alliances, standing unoSsdil-
able in their Own hemisphere.
.. In England Parliament can
disn1iss ministers LOho haUe con-
cluded a treaty which it dis
approves, whereGs in the United
States its President, not being
similarly removable by Con-
Rress, uOould be exempt from
any control were the Senate not
associated with him in the
making of a treaty"
Bryce did not live in the
days Of Washington, Adams,
jefferson, Madison and Nom
roe. He lived in the present
century. He was British Am
bassador to the United States
during the presidency of
Theodore Roosevelt. He died
only a few years ago. And
he went to his reward with
out blaming the American
People for their respect for
the Constitution and with
out the hallucination that l:
was "out Of date, " much lcsN

ments there upon the assump.

Home Discipline.

HOMO DISclpIlnc.
In many homes either one or
the other parent is too lenient
with the children.
Perhaps the father forbids
and the mother permits a
a certain thing.
Naturally the parent who
grants the more concessions is
the more popular one with the
child.
If you are the strict parent
in your home, you perhaps
resent the fact or you are hurt
at the evidence the children
give Of preference.
Your greater interest, because
stricter, as you look at it,
makes your children love the
one who indulges them in what
they wish.

If women really could do the
choosing, the traffic to Reno
would dwindle down to moth

knows what she wants, when
she goes shopping for a huS-
band-but a man just snatches
blindly at the first thing that
dazzles him.
If a man insists on selecting
a Efe-mate for her ornamental
qualities, why pity him because
he has to get up and make the
breakfast while she gets her
beauty sleep and rises only in
time to make the bridge party?
If he marries a woman sim
