DEJECTION of the peace treaty by the United States senate and j ignore America in territorial settlements and revert to the old im perialistic methods that the treaty discarded. France proceeded to grab part of Armenia and Syria and England other portions of the Near East, while Italy gobbled Fiume and the Adriatic coast, and the Turk was left in possession of Turkey. The settlements of the peace conference were brush ed aside and the United States not even notified, by the Allied premiers. As a result, President Wilson has notified Europe that if the democratic principle of self-determination of peoples is to be ig nored, the peace conference decisions to be swept aside and the old imperialistic grab of territory to be resumed, and Europe to settle the Adriatic and other problems without consulting Ameri ca, the United States will find it impossible to concern itself in European affairs. Of course Europe is highly indignant and Italy again con firms the fact that she entered the war for profit instead of prin ciple, and the president is being roundly abused abroad as auto cratic and brutal, but the president is true to principle, while the Allied premiers are not, and in his contention will have the sup port of the United btates as well as the people of the world. The senate and not the president is the responsible party. The League of Nations with its democratic ideals was forced upon the reluctant diplomats of the old world by the president and the popular support he aroused in all European Countries. Fear of losing the support of America caused its adoption. But when Europe saw the peace treaty rejected by the senate, and the United States failing to back up the treaty, the premiers lost no time in returning to their game of greed and grab, especially since the president's illness prevented his participation in affairs. The Fiume affair is said to be the real reason for Secretary Lansing's dismissal. The secretary's attitude on the League of Nations, inspired Viscount Grey, Jhe British ambassador to write the letter which was seized upon by enemies of the League as justification for their attempts to defeat its. purposes, and Lan sing's connivance in the actions of the Allied premiers, in re versing the president's policies in international affairs, cost the secretary his job. PAVING PATENTS. ill By ARTHUR SCOTT BAILEY DASIC patents held by the Warren Construction Company cover ing paving processes expire May 5, of this year, according to information given by the patent office to Senator McNary. It has always been a question whether these patents were valid. The patentees method is to run a strong bluff and in case of opposition, to compromise, rather than make a legal fight. By altering specifications slightly as to size of rock, etc., all claims for royalty are evaded. So-called "Topeka" pavement, in which slightly smaller rock is used, is as good a pavement as "War renite" and cannot be distinguished from it by the layman. The Oregon legislature held-up all claims for royalty upon state nignway pavement, until the attorney general and highway commission had satisfied themselves upon the validity of the pat ents, and although the investigation has been in progress a year, no findings have been made public. If satisfied with the validity of the patents, there will be the usual compromise which might nave been avoided it the commission had stipulated Topeka in stead of Warrenite. As it is, the great bulk of highway paving is being done by the Warren Company and their subsidiaries, under such high prices that they could, afford to lose the royalty and still make good profits. New patents have been applied for by the Warrens, covering otner processes, ana tneir royally claims will always afford pre texts for compromise as alternative to expensive litigation. Congressman Pat McArthur has introduced a bill to oust sick presidents, thus making use of the experience gained in the Ore gon legislature of amending the constitution by statute. " Eut a bill to oust lazy congressmen, who have not the excuse of illness for inattention to public business, would be more to the point. The Wood boom is not much of a conflagration in Oregon and seems to be burning itself out. Rippling Rhymes I5Y WAL T MASON CCRIOVS MR. CROW. Living in the orchard as they did. near the farmhouse. Jolly Robia and his wife knew more about Farmei Green's family than any of the other birds In Pleasant Valley, except may he Rusty Wren. Iteing a house wren, Rusty was naturally on the be: of terms with all the people in the farm house. But all summer long Rusty Wren never strayed far from home. So it was Jolly Robin who told his friends in the woods many strange stories about what happAied near the orchard, ins account of the golden bird was only one of the many curious tales that he related to the wondering wood crea tures. Being so cheerful and having so much interesting news to tell, Jolly Robin was welcome wherever he went. And when his fr'e""' in the f :. t "where pray, is this wonderful four armed man?" "In the barnyard!" Jolly Robin in formed him. 'Tve often seen him late, ly. walking between the house and the liarn. He looks a good deal like the hired man. But of course it can't be he. for the hired man as you all know has but two arms." "I must have a look at this mons ter" Mr. Crow remarked. "When woul I be a good time to see him?" "At milking time," Jolly Robin told him. "If you'll meet me on the bridge down the road when you see Johnnie Green and old dog Spot driving the cows home from the pasture this af ternoon, I'll be glad to show you the ' four armed man. And then you'll ad mit that I'm not joking." "I'll certainly be there " Mr. Crow promised "but on one condition. You must tell me now whether you have ever known this queer being to fire a gun. If a two-armed man can shoot one gun, I see no reason why a four armed man could not fire at least two guns at the same time. And if there's any chance of such a thing happening, I would not care to be present." Jolly Robin had hard work to keep from laughing again. The very idea of the four-armed man .ihuinir two I trims at old Mr. Crow Ktrtick him nn being very funny. He couldn't speak at all for a few moments. But he shook his head violently. "You think there is no danger then?' said Mr. Crow, anxiously. "None at all!" Jolly Robin answer ed him. "He carries nothing more dan gerous than milk pails." "Then 1 11 meet you on the bridge," Mr. Crow promised. SATURDAY, PEERUARY ?. Week sOsiy Fatality .

They say a man of princely race is needed for that august place; a man of virtue unalloyed, a man of weaknesses devoid ; a gent of great and soaring gifts in whose renown there are no rifts ; 'tis such a paragon they need, and so they come to me and plead. But when I see the weary jays who are in office all their days, who sometimes die but don't resign, I say, "No public snap in mine I" When I turn out a hand made song, the smiling neighbors come alongand say, "Old scout; you're doing well! Your latest anthem rung the bell!" The man who has a private task gets ali the praise he could ask, if he gets down and does his best, at duty's eloquent behest. But when he finds himself in charge of public office, small or large, he cannot do his work so well that voters won't rear up and yell, as voters evermore have screeched, and say he ought to be impeached. i get a nttie word or praise wnen I produce some ringing lays, but if they made me county clerk, the jwpulace would roast my WOl'K.

One day old Mr. Crow even took, the trouble to fly all the way across tho cornfield to the edge of the woods, where his sharp eyes had seen Jolly Robin eating wild cherries. "I say, what do you know that's new?" Mr. Crow asked him. Ths Old gentleman was a very curious person. Being a great gossip, he was always on the lookout for something to talk about. "I don't believe I've seen anything lately that would interest you," Jolly replied, "unless it's tho four-armed man." Mr. Crow looked up quickly. . "What's that you say?" he exclaim ed. "The four armed man!" Jolly Rob in repeated. "Is that a joke-" Mr. Crow asked. Ho was inclined to b suspicious, be cause he always disliked having tricks played up on him. seen a two-headed calf," he remark ed. "Hut a four armed man is a little too much for me to believe in, unless I behold hlni' with my own eyes." Jolly Robin laughed. "It's no joke at all!" he declared. "Then what are you laughing at?" Mr. Crow Inquired severely. "Nothing!" Jolly Robin mswered. "It's Just a. habit of mine to laugh." "Very well!" said Mr. Crow. "I ac cept your apology. Hut please don't do It again ....
