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.

"I must have a look at this mons

"At milking time," Jolly Robin told

"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."

OFFICE
I have been asked to quiet my work and make the race for
county clerk. 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.

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

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

Mr. Crow looked up quickly. .
"What's that you say?" he exclaim
