NO TIME FOR TEN MILES.
Dan O'Leary, whose fame rests
upon achievement as a long-distance
pedestrian, has a suggestion to
women who seek beauty, or who
would retain, despite their years, the
freshness of sixteen. Ten miles of
brisk walking each day, through
sunshine or storm, contends the
doughty Dan, would raise right
speedily the standard of feminine
loveliness in America. Quickened,
revitalized blood currents would
bring the bloom that cosmetics
strive to simulate, and a healthier,
happier, more radiant womanhood
would charm our ways.
Ten miles a day, up hill and down
dale, spurning the well-intended In
vitations of motorists, and breathing
the unsmirched freshness of morn
ing, connotes a considerable amount
of leisure time in which to cheat the
years. Vet us say at least three hours
at a smart pace, pausing not at all
to pluck a spray of wild cherry or
watch a sunrise. Champion pedes
trians have little time for such es
thetic joys of the road. The woman
ln quest of beauty, the average
woman whose days have other de
mands, would find less. The O'Leary
prescription is almost unattainable.
It is the sorry fact that life, in
the urgency of its pursuits, makes
no provision for ten-mile rambles
after complexion and symmetry.
There are humdrum duties that can
not be evaded and that are more
conducive to wrinkles than win
comeness. Breakfasts to cook, beds
to make, floors to sweep, and house
hold gods to be defended. If, the
international walking champion will
also advance, in connection with his
advice, some practical hint of how
to avoid these tasks, his formula for
attaining and retaining beauty will
be simplified.
The wrong trail again the trail
of the faddist, of the enthusiast
whose zeul recognizes no obstructive
fact. For the butterflies we .have
no concern. Let them keep their
beauty as best they know how. It
is certain that few would choose the
heroic treatment offered by Dan
O'Leaxy, But for certain millions of
celerate the process.
We have heard much of late years
about the vicious circle. - Does not a
process by which everything settles
down to its natural level constitute
a virtuous circle? All know that it
does, but each fears to start lest
the others will not follow. If all
start together and keep step, all will
find themselves as well off after as
before the return to normal prices.
THE CHESS PLAYERS.
By comparison with a game like
baseball, chess awakens only a lan
guid popular interest. The young
man, Capablanca, and the veteran
Lasker. now striving for a world
championship over a table in Cuba,
convey no adequate impression- to
the great mass of people of the really
stupendous nature of the mental
contest in which they are engaged.
For every man who can adequately
appreciate the finer points of chess,
there are perhaps a thousand who
know the rules of our national game
by heart. Chess is caviare to the
general; baseball ln America and
cricket and rugby in England are
sports in which the humblest may
engage.
The reason Is not altogether that
chess requires superior brain power
or greater capacity for Intellectual
finesse. The comparative Isolation
of the ancient game is due to the pe.
culiar rather than the superior na
ture of the mental attributes that it
connotes. Like the mathematical
prodigy and the billiard wizard, the
chess expert defies classification. His
intuitions rather than his powers of
reasoning are his most reliable
guides. There is evidence that chess
phenomenons are born rather than
made. Capablanca was a wonder at
the game at the age of five and the
latest chess sensation in Europe is a
Polish boy of eight who has defeated
most of the leading adult players of
the continent. Capablanca's really
wonderful ability as a chess player
is matched by nothing else he does.
The Polish youngster is sub-normal
elsewhere than at the chess board.
Although chess would seem to re
quire the highest possible develop
ment of the faculties of foresight and
concentration and logic and straight
thinking, those who play the game
best seldom shine in vocations in
which those attributes would seem
to -have greatest play. Benjamin
Franklin, who first brought chess
Into prominence in America, was in
deed remarkable ln other ways, but
he was relatively an indifferent
chess player. By all the rules Na.

Maupin and a third chap took horses
and went in pursuit. The Indians
stopped and killed a beef on Trout
creek and this enabled the pursuers
to catch up. Clark and Maupin had
the only Henry rifles ln this part of
the country. The Indians were armed
with pistols and knives. Maupin fired
and hit Paulina in the hip, so that he
could not run. The old chief, a big
fellow, called to his men to escape,
and they did. Clark said he wanted
to kill Paulina for burning his ranch,
and as a shell was jammed In his
gun, he borrowed Maupin's Henry
and kept shooting and wounding
Paulina without killing him. When
Paulina saw. that he was about to
be finished, he took his long knife,
drove it into the ground and broke
off thfe blade, because he did not
want to be scalped with bis own knife.
Maupin took careful aim and shot
the chief in the head. The cattle
were recovered, save the one that
was killed, and the body of Paulina
was left where it lay until long
afterward, when young Perry Maupin
took some finger bones for souvenirs.
Paulina was a bad one and caused
lots of trouble to the stages and
pack trains. Paulina mountains are
named after him, and Maupin, in
the Deschutes, is named after his
slayer."'
After IS years in Japan I assert
that there is no business morality
among the Japanese." asserted C. J.
Williams of Kobe, who arrived at
the Benson yesterday. "One would
suppose after such a long residence
that first impressions would be ad
justed and that an outsider would
get to know-the finer qualities of a
people, but I have no praise for the
Japanese business man. He will
break a contract without batting an
eye, and If you try to hold hiin to
the contract you get nowhere. The
banks are the same. Even the big
gest Japanese concerns, which do a
great foreign business, are no better
in keeping their word or contracts
than the little fellows.. Conditions in
Japan are bad and about all they are
importing is steel, for they have a
big navy and are increasing it as
rapidly as possible. The Jaoanese

In first-degree murder cases ths

Jury is compTJsed of men who are
favorable to the death penalty. When
12 good men who are favorable to
hanging try a case and find for sec
ond degree, I for one am willing to
abide by their Judgment. They know
the facts, the law In the case, and
public opinion. Do you know, Mr. Pro
Bono, that the ability of Juries ln
murder eases to arrive at a certain
verdict is ln the final analysis con
trolled most largely by the demands
of public opinion? This Is especially
so in cases of prominent people and
cases containing very unusual cir
cumstances. In these cases the influ
ence of public opinion is as great as
or greater than the evidence and
points of law in the case.
The human factor continues to ex
ist in the 12 good men who are try
ing the case, regardless of their
oath or points of law involved. This
human factor plus the knowledge of
the demands of public opinion Is ever
present and serves to temper the
severity of the prosecution or In
creases the desire to punish severely,
as the case may be. Each case Is pe
culiar unto itself and is not always
decided on precedent. The application
of law may be the same, but the
human mind will always have its
variations. So long as these variations
exist, Just that long will there be
variations In verdicts for practically
the same offense.
Justice controlled by the will of the
people Is the best form of Justice
after all. When the time arrives that
all murder cases are treuted alike,
decided alike, and all receive the
same penalty, then this country of
ours will have arrived at the stage of
a cold-blooded one-man rule and the
government for the people and by the
people will have perlBhed.
Now, Mr. Tro Bono, you need ex
perience; you should qualify as a
Juror, convince the court that you are
a man of open, unbiased mind, get

cases, accept this great responsibility
honestly and sincerely, do your duty
well and you will have lost your

Bryan took them up and "apparent

treaty. Republicans opposed it in

democrats made a majority report
in Its favor, striking out the apology
and substituting a mutual expression
of regret that good relations had
been disturbed, while the republi.
cans condemned It
OU was first injected into the case
soon after a favorable second report
was madeby the republican as well as
democratic committeemen on July
29, 1919, when Colombia revived old
decrees which seriously affected the
right of Americans on land, espe
cially oil land. The treaty was sent
back to committee, but when the
Colombian supreme court confirmed
the constitutionality of the oil con.
cessions, another favorable report
with amendments was made on
June 3, 1920. Thus the general
policy of settlement with Colombia
by such a treaty was approved by
both parties, and it had ceased to
be a party question.
Senator Fall was most actively in
terested in removing objections and
opposition to the treaty. He pre
pared a plan which, Mr. Lodge said,
"involved the ratification of the
treaty as it now stands with amend
ments to be followed by another
treaty of amity and commerce by
which we should rid ourselves of the
old Grenadine treaty of 1846, which
has been a subject of dispute and
trouble ever since it was made and
by which we should also re-estab
lish our relations with Colombia and
secure her promise, to Join with us
in defense of the canal at any and
all times." Mr. Fall laid this plan
before Roosevelt who wrote to him
on March 21. 1917
I greatly liked your statement about the
Colombian treaty. It Is very strong. I.
of course, most earnestly hope that your
negotiations for a aew and proper treaty
will be successful. The proposition on
the last two pages seems to ma to be
eminently right.
Mr. Lodge gave among reasons for
a settlement with Columbia: That
republic's territory "comes up to the
boundary of Panama not far from
the. canal." It is "the only South
American state which has both an
Atlantic and Pacific coast and on
both coasts are good harbors capable
of large development" and "It com
mands in this way the approaches to
the canal." He had been opposed
to the amount of indemnity as too
