An ambassador generally opens his mission at any particular capital with a speech of fulsome praise for tho ; natives and references to the evurlnst Ing friendship of tho two countries concerned. But thole was more than convt ntional diplomatic courtesy in the maiden utterance of John 'W: Da vis, new American ambasador to Great illritnin, when ho said: "It js on the firm rock of friend ship ami understanding between the English-speaking .peoples that the foundations of a league, of nations must be laid." With all duo honor and respect for the other nations with which we have been asociuted in this war, every In telligent and honest-mliiiled American knows that at its close the United Slates and Great Britain stand as the two most powerful nations in the . world, and that their joint power either military' or niurill is so great that no other conceivable group of na tions today would think of opposing anything on which they were com pletely ugrced. That being tile case, if we may as sume that Britain and America are really agreed on n lciitfuo of nations, as they appear t,We, the conclusion is J'luin. The Knglish-r.poaking nations are on top, not by selfish intent so much a.j by inescapable fate posiidy by di vine ordinance. They are going to use their might openly and fairly to establish vifhl on its throne. The figure of speech used by Am bassador Davis is richly suggestive. It recalls the famous words of Jesus to Peter. We might paraphrase those words, without any irreverence, and ray, "Thou art Anglo-Saxon, and upon this rock I will fo'iml world peace."

Rayburn need not explain why he resigned. The fact is well known that Manager Collier, fired Mr. Ray burn, usinK thcold method of cutting down his salary and lenKtheniiitf hid working hours. It miht be described in nnuther old-fnshiotied way hy say-! iiiff Mr. Collier stopped the pay of Mr. I j Rayburn, who immediately jr'it mud and quit. Rayburn had quite a few followers until his nrticle appeared .Saturday evenintc. Tnoso who had thought Ray burn an outspoken, straight-from-the-shoubler man, wore .surprised to see him resort to inucmlo in an endeavor ti throw out disfavor. He even whs guilty of using "someono told nie that someone else said that,' elc, a thing which he has had to grapple with in his career as an officer hun- Ircds of, times. Yet he falls into the; channel in order to make n last effort j toward injuring someone whom he op-; parenlly disTikes. j That has been Mr. tlayburn's great) fault as an official, lie has many fine; pinlities as an officer, but he "over cooks the meat" on all occasions. He cannot be satisfied with doing a thing 100 per cent, but he invariably wants to add another 10 per cent, which be comes n ruhbing-in process and peo ple resent it. 'Since tho last election wdien Commissioner MeKennon's elee-! tion was taken to mean a verdict for Rayburn, the. chief of police has been especially hard to understand. His In-f fluence with the city commission has' kept things to a boiling point with; such climaxes following along as the. i arrest of Snm Harris and Mae Wood i a most thoroughly uncalled-for act. j Conditions had almost rouched a cli max and it was a public question! whether n business firm could run if, it incurred the displeasure of the chief of police. Clothing stores were af -1 fected beeamo of his'nttitude toward loggers and sheep herders who came i here for supplies, and the action of . Manager Collier has saved n general, upheaval of resentment on the parti of the public. ' ! Today's Birthdays.
