Anglo-Saxon Harmony a
Solid Rock of Peace.
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 Stubs His Toe in
Lat Official Utterance,
The last official utterance of Chief
of Police Lou Kayburn in the Korum
Saturday evening waa but another
feature of the home talent drama
which has been in course of production
in and about the city hall fur several
wceka. ,
Air. 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. ' !

produced by the most artistic

to secure a perfect figure.
