of which either of our leading American egotists, Hiram Johnson
and Leonard Wood is constitutionally incapable of performing.
Nevertheless, the League of Nations will not be the deciding
issue in Oregon, nor can the result be so construed. Wood is a
weak supporter of the League with reservations that nullify it.
and Johnson is an open opponent. Lowden is tne only real mena
of the Leairue and he has a small following.
Johnson will receive a heavy vote and may carry Oregon, but
only a fraction of his support will be due to his opposition to the
peace treaty. Much of it, like the endorsement given by benator
McNary, will be in spite of his attitude on the League and because
Johnson is a Western man with the ideas of the West, because he
made good as governor of California and in spite of his demagogy,
has the courage of his convictions, and is a born fighter. The
fact that he is a man of the people and opposed by politicians and
Wall Street, rallies the masses to his standard.
Leonard Wood represents the most sinister alliance in pol
iticsthat of militarism and nfillions. His campaign expendi
tures, furnished by a syndicate of industrial magnates with heavy
holdings in Mexico, are a national scandal. His record as an ad
ministrator is that of a military dictator. None of his utterances
reflect the viewpoint of the toiling multitude and they cannot be
blamed if they prefer the man who understands them the dema
gogue to the militarist.
It is very much to be feared that Hoover s sacrifice will have
been in vain. He is engaged in a hopeless task when he attempts
to liberalize the reactionary element of the republican party.

Suppose we reject the treaty; what follows? Let us look at It prac
tically. We continue the state of war, and every sensible man in the coun
try, every business interest, desire's the re-gtabllshment of peace in law as
well uh in fact. At the same time we epudiate the President and his action
before the whole world, and the repudiation of the President in such a
matter ns this is to my mind the humiliation of the United States in the eyes
of civilized mankind, and brands us as a people Incapable of great affairs
or of taking rank where we belong, as one of the greatest of the great world
powers.
Lodge, however, had reference to a treaty negotiated by a
republican president establishing peace with Spain. A treaty ne
gotiated by a democratic president to make peace with Germany,
is an entirely different affair. It. was the thing to do to repud
iate a democratic president and humiliate the United States in
the eyes of civilized mankind.
In December of 1918, when the Pans peace conference was
about, .to assemble, Senator Lodge denounced the proposal of a
sparate peace with Germany as follows : ,
We cannot make peace in the ordinary way. We cannot, In the first
place, make peace except in company with our allies. It would brand us
with everlasting dishonor and bring ruin to us also if we undertook to make
a separate peace. .
i Today, however, we find Senator Lodge and the republican
majority supporting a joint resolution declaring the war at an end
and making a separate peace with Germany. The Knox resolu
tion carries out the Lodge program of treaty obstruction to its
logical conclusion. .
Senator Knox swept aside the Lodge camouflage of "Amerl
canizing" the treaty, and endorsed President Wilson's argument
against Lodge's claim for special privileges for the United States
in the League of Nations in his speech, as follows : '
it has been said that reservations proposed in the senate Americanize
,the League. This, of course, is not true, A more accurate statement of the
effect of these reservations is that they tend to make it safer for America to
tenter the League by refusing to be bound in many important matters by its
action. Hut it is not enough that the League shall be made safe for America;
It Jnust be made safe for all who enter it and sufe for the world. As I see
it, nothing could be fraught with more danger than any nation's having a
specially insured relation to a Leugue where the other nations are subject to
the dangers against which the Immune nation attempts to secure itself.
Is anything further needed to emphasize the insincerity and
hyprocrisy of Henry Cabot Lodge, who poses as a patriot, but is
merely a partisan, playing politics with the peace of the world?
The peace resolution is another instance of political horse
play. There can be no constitutional peace with Germany until
a treaty is ratified. Congress has power to declare war but none
to make peace. If passed the resolution will be vetoed, and if
paused over the veto, congress has no power to usurp the consti
tutional rights of the president and enforce it. The object of all
this partisan folly is to make people think that it is the president
who is keeping the country in a state of war instead of congress.
After a thorough inquiry, the charges filed against Max
.Uauser, as vice-president of the United States Grain Corporation,
of using his official position for his own profit, have been official-,
!y found without foundation the product of personal and sec
tional jealousy and malice. No one ever supposed otherwise, and
the attack upon him was in line with the assaults made upon many
patriotis who unselfishly devoted their time and money to help
win the war. Mr. Hauser was a target for the slander of disap
pointed protiteers.
er Green's cornfield, in plaiJ sight of
everyone who happened to look up at
the eky.
On the contrary. Mr. Timothy Tur
tie seldom wandered far from the
banks of the creek for the best of
reasons. He was anything but a fast
walker. In fact, one might say that
ha waddled, or even crawled, rather
than walked. But in the water he
was quite a different creature. By
means of his webbed feet he could
swim as easily as Mr. Crow could fly.
And he could stay at the bottom of
Black Creek a surprisingly long time
before he came up for a breath of
air. Indeed, Mr. Crow sometimes re
marked that he would be just as well
pleased if Timothy Turtle buried
himself in the mud beneath the
water and never came up again!
Such a speech was enough to show
that Mr. Crow was not fond of Tim
othy Turtle. Perhaps Mr. Crow clis-
liked to have a neighbor who was
older than he. But Mr. Crow him
self always laughed at such a sug
gestion.
'The trouble is " he would say
"the trouble is, Timothy Turtle is
too grumpy. Noy, I'm old. But I

was a time when he wasn't snappish,
when he wouldn't rather bite a body
than not ' IHTUn
And that was the reason why hi
had not more friends. To be sure,
many people knew him. But usually
they took good care not to get too
near him.
For Timothy Turtle had a most un
pleasant way of shooting out his long
neck from under his shell and sililng
a person in his powerful Jaws. In
spite of his great age he was quick as
a flash. And one had to step lively
to escape .Aim.
If Timothy had bitten you just for
an instant, and then stopped, this
trick of his wouldn't have been so dis
agreeable. But" he was not content
itith a mere nip. When he had hold
of you he never wanted to let you go.
And it was no joke getting away, once
you found yourself caught by him.
As .for Timothy Turtle,, he never
could understand why bis neighbors
objected to this little trick of his. He
always said that it was more fun titan
almost anything else he could think
of. And it 1e true that he never:
seemed so happy as he did wheu te
had caught some careless person and
was biting him without mercy.
"Anybody that wants to may bite
me," Timothy used to declare. But
perhaps he never stopped to think
that one might almost as well bite a
rock as his hard shell. And anybody
might better chew a piece of leather

The beautifying of home grounds
in towns and villages and in the
country is not only a source of pleas
ure to owners of the homes, but Is a
real community asset In ' traveling
thru the county, I have noticed that
tourists, in passing thru any commu
nity, are quick to give attention to
local improvements; that a town In
which the grounds about residences
are improved, universally excite fav
orable comment. At this time of the
year there should be a general set
ting out of trees and shrubs for shade
beauty and protection, and the plent-
ing of back yards with vegetable.,
fruita and flowers as a means of re
ducing the high cost of living, and of
adding to the pleasure ot the table
and the beauty of the home surround
ings. As a preliminary to this ther
should be a general cleaning up m
every community. Tin cans, ash piles
and other debris should be removed.
