Entered at the Pos toff Ice In Salem, SO NEAR AND YET SO FAB The report comes from Washington that there w now agreement on thei'eaw Treaty, including the League of Na-tiom, excepting as to Article 10 aiul the one enneernincr the Monroe Dnetriiio v The spokesmen for President ..1. ..11 .. . t .1 uflii miinin iuieiiaiig-u in uicse arncies. . Senator Lodge insist that there must he such changes as will precisely define the Monroe Doctrfae, and that as to Article 10 there must be added language stating specifically that our Constitution makes our Congress the sole power lo declare war, ' There are many people in the United States who think these two corrections, or interpretative reservations, should be made, for safety. President Wilson says the original articles mean the same things. So, on the part of the people who are supporting the President, it is a matter largely of quibbling pf eontumaey ; of bull-headedness. However, Mr. Taf t and many thousands of good and wise Amer. icans think hat the original articles are plain enough to leave little danger of misconstruction or mymnderstandin'g in the future. So. Senator Lodge and his followers in the Senate may also be justly accused of bull-headedness. . In the mean time, the disgust of the American people with both sides grows apace. - What the United States Stateajneeds is the ratification of the treaty; and the rest of the world needs it still more.

Wilson insist that the wordintr b announce a surplus, people enough to fill the vacant homes would come from other cities and towns. Irregular habits and hard work is the lognevity secret of Samuel Gom pers, who was 70 yesterday. That's what he himself says. It has already been figured at some of the big city hotels that the less people spend for drinks the more they are willing spend for something to eat. indicating that prohibition is not the calamity it was supposed to be. ' ' CHINA'S PATIUOTISM. There can be little doubt that the Chinese government had officially insfructed its delegates to the peace conference In Versailles to sign the Japanese appropriation of German rights In Shantang. National senti ment was. however, tremendously aroused. If Japan had set out to Instigate a new national spirit which lnsUeatft a now nMnn ts SlIsBFof DR. HENRY Ej MORRIS OPTOMETKIST , 3 05 State Street, near Commercial Down Stain Office should overwhelm the old local pro vincialisms she could not have pro ceeded in a more effectual way to accomplish the purpose. The people took the matter out of the hands of the povernment. By cablegrams to Faris. by telegraph to Peking, by mass meetings and agita tions, finally by a strike of students and then or the mercantile puilds in the large cities they made It clear that national sentiment would regard as traitors all those who should take part in siKnlnt; the treaty. It was an extraordinary impressive exhibition of the existence and the power of national reeling in China. It was all the more impressive be cause it had to work without organ ized governmental agencies and. in deed, against the re Stance of deeply-Intrenched pro-Japanese official dom. If there stilr remained any where those who 'doubted the strength and pervasiveness of Chi nese patriotism the demonstration was a final and convincing lesson. John Dewey in Asia.

As .General Pershing is head of the army and is being pressed by many admirers as a presidential can didate he declines to-talk either about the army or politics on- his tour of inspection. We don't know as we blame him much, but there are a lot of people who would like to commit him, to something without being sure 'as to what it is. The general, however, wisely prefers the photographer to the inerviewer. Los Angeles Times. THE ENDLESS CHAIX. A member of the federal trade commission presents the figures to Drove that for every dollar which the government collects on its excess profits taxes on business the ulti mate consumer pays between S4 and $5 in overcharges. Business passes the tax onto the next, person even before it is levied. Even an inheritance tax on the es tates of the dead Is made a drag up on the living who are of no kin. An extra tax, of $1 on a producer be comes 12, $3 and $4 as it is passed on through Jobbers, wholesalers and retailers. Each must not only be re imbursed for the tax. but for the trouble of collecting It, and so it swells a if travels. Finally the .government-itself ,niust have a flood of high priced officials charged with its collection. ' ' Unless there can be a reduction of national expenditures there can be no reduction of prices. OX THE KO l.

Is anxious to participate in the operation and. conduct of the league of nations, but its foremost statesman has said that the absence of the United States deprives it of the incomparably mightiest power In the world." This has "disarranged internation- at feeling, depriving the league of an essential factor in its worldwide prestige and practically reducing it to a European undemanding." . Without the unselfish participa tion of the United States It Is almost impossible to restrain the petty de mands of Italy and the old-time war alliances are revived or Invoked. Next to the war itself the greatest tragedy to Europe has been the delay and procrastination shown by the United States in the matter of clear ing the road for peaceful progress. Our ideals seem to have been merely paper angels, fit to hang on a Christmas tree, but for not much else. MY DEAR 3ASTt.. , Lucy Page Gaston Indicates her' In tentions of becoming a presidential candidate. Will Mr. Wilson please stand up and give the lady a seat? Presumably Lucy would run on the strength of her being a founder and head of the Anti-Cigarette league, which to her is vastly more important than auy puny and half baked league of nations. Her plat form would declare for a smokeless world that Is, except for smoked ham and tongue. The fact that the United States used two billion more cigarettes last year than the year before merely emphasizes the impor tance of electing a reformer like Lucy who is pledged to curb this in iquitous trade. The United States must be freed from the damnable domination of nicotine and it seem? to be up to Lucy to take charge of the crusad. Why not begin by occupying the white houee? That is at least a coign of vantage. Now that we are so dry we must 'ware of the smoke. But if we are to have Lucy Page Gaston who will page Alphonse? FIGHTING FOR IT. Some of the army and navy re cruiting stations in their quest for volunteers are advertising that neith er France. Germany, England. China noF Siberia is dry. At a station in Salt Lake the sign reads: "Enlist and Have a Drink." The army doesn't seem to be partic ularly proud of national prohibition. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST Red hog dly in Salem.

You wiJI note the proofs of this In the Salem slogan pages of tomorrow "The Uepublicans are going to hold a convention as Roon as thev find a city large enouxh to hold all their presidential candidates." re marks a cynic at the writer's elbow. "Those ' Democratic conventions are held to give Hryan somewhere to go every four years," remarks the same grouch. S A Salem man says the heat way to take the census of this city would have been to count the automobiles parked on the streets here on a Sat urday afternoon. There will be some new liouse built in Salem; but there won't be enough. And It used to be that if a young man conducted a young lady to a cafe an old-fashioned waiter led them to a table bowing and scrap ing obsequiously. It isn't necessary any more.
