The four power ireaty does not
abrogate in any way the sover
eignty of tbe United States.
Uo
der its terms the United State» i-
free to act for itself in carrying out
its provisions.
The league of na
tions, however, provides that the
United States surrender its right
to act on. its own initiative to s
council of nations, located in Eu
rope and controlled by nation»
other than the United States,
whose decrees should rule the
world. —Albany Herald.
The league of nations’ pact pr<
vided nothing of the kind alhged
above. I l proy ided that the league
should "advise" measures in cer
tain cases, but also provided that
it could not do even that within t
the unanimous vote of the mem
bers. including the representative
of this country.
This nation suffers from but one
curse equal in virulence to tbe re
publican party.
That one is lb-
democratic party.
The most far-ee ing American of
his day pronounced a second Ser
mon on the Mount.
It was ac
cepted with acclaim by a blood-
sick world.
Persecutor and per
aecuted alike professed accordance
with the new code, the former in
shame-faced deference to the world
psychology ot the moment and th'
latter with glowing hope of a new
dispensation when the lion should
uo longer rend the lamb.
Lite nations of the world, with
one exception worthy of note, ap
proved of thia gospel of peuce, I>
that one nation, the most powerful
of all, by a majority of one 1190,-
fXM) vote, the new beatitudes were
rejected.
Clue of the two great curses, w th
an expenditure of four aud one-
half millions of dollars, defeats«
the other of tbe two, which, bj
begging, borrowing and stealing
was aide to raise only one-third *»
much, and we are out of the world’
peace league.
The successful party has non
brot about another agreement in
tended to promote world peac<
(puny as compared to the V»r
sallies league) and leaders of ill
minority party are trying to pi>-
vent i s ralilication by the eeiiat».

t
(by Edward G. Low ry)
there is a crying need for a reduc
tion of tbs number of state com
missions that are fattening at th»
publtccrib. Senator Charles H all
in bis bid for tbe republican nomi
nation for tbe governorship, says
there are seventy of these commis
sions and that ten would be enough
Every one of these taxeater« is
ready Io make a fight for eaistaoce
if reform is mooted in tbe legisla
ture, and lawmakers having friend»
who want soft jobs are ready to in-
create instead of lessening these
burdens.
We are governed too muoh and
t>o expensively.
Instead of in
creasing the number of mem tiers
of the legislature and tbe 485 con
gressmen, which would be like
diluting dishwater, they onght to
be cut to one-tbird, saving the
salaries of two-thirds of them and
their hangers-on and lessening the
houre of legislative talk for which
we pay so dearly.
Taxes are high because we pay
for ton much dishwater and gei
too little meat.

WAR’S HORRIBLE WASTE
M r. R C. L eflng w ell was tbe as
sistant secretary of the treasury In
charge of Bnsnces during tbe w ar.
W hile he was in the treasury he be-
• ame deeply Impressed w ith the mag
nitude of government expedltures and
the looseness. Inefficiency and waste
that are a part of government meth
od. A ll the secretaries of the treas
ury since the outbreak of the War
have shared this feeling of apprehen
sion and concern w ith M r. Leffing-
well
I quote here a recent utterance
of till on w ar expenditures:
“O f the $4,000,000.000. exclusive of
Interest on the public debt, spent In
the fiscal year 1921. $1,101.615,013.32
was spent by the W a r department.
$650.373,835.58 by the Navy depart
ment, $800.000,000 on the railroads.
'290,000.000 by the bureau of w ar risk
nsurance, and $357,814.897.01 by the
Interior department, mostly, I take It,
for C ivil w ar and Spanish w ar pen
sions— a total of »3,080,000,000 under
these heads.
"In the fiscal year 1920 tbe W a r de
partm ent spent »1.610.000.000, and the
Navy department $740,000,000, a total
o f »2,850.000,000.
Secretary Mellon
estimates that In the fiscal year, 1921.
the W a r department w ill spend $1,025,-
000,000. and the Navy department
$700,000,000, a total of $1,725,000.000;
and that In the fiscal year. 1922. the
W ar department w ill spend $570,000,-
000. and the Navy department $545.-
000.000, a total of $1,115,000,000. This
make» a three-years' total of $5,190,-
000.000.
“G ermany went to w a r to realize on
her Investment In arms and armies.
T he burden of universal m ilita ry serv
ice, expenditures on the arm y and
navy, subsidies and doles, became In
tolerable. She thought she would re
peat the exploit of 1870 and make w ar
so profitable in territory and indene
nltles as to recoup herself fo r the
outlay of 40 years' preparation. The
splendid resistance of the Belgians and
the French and of the little British
expeditionary force made the short
w a r a fu tile dream. The untrained
manhood and unmortgaged resources
of the Western W orld, of the British
empire overseas, and finally of Am er
ica, determined the Issue. Germany
suffered economic collapse, though her
armies, beaten hut not routed, were
still on enemy soil.
So Germany's
m ilita ry preparedness was her cause
for making w ar and was the cause of
her defeat. Iu the Issue. It was eco
nomic preparedness that mattered
most.
“Today, men, women and little chil
dren are starving to death In Europe be
cause of the war's horrible waste and
because o f the still more horrible waste
of a fte r the war. T w o years and a
h alf a fte r analstlce, nearly two years
a fte r peace was concluded between
Germany and the allies, millions of
men are under arma, eating and wear
ing the produce of the fields and of
the labor of a civilian population
which must bear the load of taxes and
Inflation necessary to maintain those
armies In economic Idleness. The peo
ples of continental Europe are stag
gerlng under the load of armaments,
fa r too great before the w ar and In
tolerable now. T h e ir rulers hold them
selves In power by subsidies and doles,
by playing, now on th eir fears, and
again on their avarice, still again on
nationalistic ambitions or ancient ra
cial hatred»
The allies have under
taken to Insure Germany’s economic
recovery by Insisting upon her dlsarm-
aineut and the payment of reparations
which means the development of a
huge export balance; but for them
selves they reserve the donhlful privi
lege of rem aining armed to the teeth . .
"W e have demonstrated our m ili
tary power.
W e have shown what
may be done In a few short months
to make an army and transport It to
wage a foreign war. We have no need
to be aggressors abroad, we are Invul
nerable at home. Let us accept tlie
responsibilities of the position of lead
ershlp which Is ours, show the world
how to beat swords Into plow-shares,
relieve the peoples of the world of ap
prehension and lead them back into
the ways of peace and plenty. I f we
prepare for w ar we shall have It. I f
we lead the world In preparation for
we way have that.”

Its front veranda.
“Here's a right pretty place. Isn't It.

Fred re
marked Innocently, as they were pass
ing a lawn of short-clipped, bright
green grass before a genial-looking
house, fresh In w hite peint and cool In
green and w hite awnings.
A broad
veranda, well populated Just now,
crossed the front of the house; fine
trees helped the awnings to give com
fort agalrst the aun; and Fred's re
mark was warranted.
Ncvertbelem.
he fell under the suspicion of hie eoen-
j'MUlon, w ho ¿ ail begun to grince some
nervousness before T re d spoke.
“ W hat place you m e a n t'
“T he Yocum place,” said M r. M itch
ell. “I hear the old gentleman’s m ighty
prosperous these daj-8.
They keep
things up to the m ark, don't they,
Ramsey?"
" I don't know w hether they do or
whether they don’t,” Ramsey returned
shortly.
Fred appeared to muse re g re tfu lly
“I t looks kind of empty now, though,"
he said, "w ith only M r. and Mrs. Yo
cum and their m arried daughters, and
eight or nine children on the front
porch!"
|
“You w a it t ill I get you where they
I can’t see u e!" Ramsey warned him
1 fiercely.
“You can't do It ! " said Fred, manl-
, Testing trium ph. “W e ’ll both stop right
i here In plain sight o f the wliole Yo
cum fam ily connection till you promise
not to touch me.”
And he halted, leaning hack Im
placably against the Yocum's Iron
fence. Ramsey was scandalized.
)
“Come on I” he said hoarsely. “Don’t
stop here I"
" I w ill, and If you go on alone I ’ll
; yell at you.
You got to stand right
here w ith all of ’em lookin’ a t you
until— "
“I prom ise! M y heavens, come on !”
F red consented to end the moment
of agony; and fo r the rest o f the sum
mer found It Impossible to persuade
Ramsey to past that house In hls com
pany. “I won’t do I t !” Ramsey told
him. “Your word of honor means noth
in' to m e; you’re lia b le to do anything
that comes Into your head, nnd I ’m
gettln' old enough to not get a reputa
tion for bein’ seen w ith people that
act the Idiot on the public streets. No,
s ir; we'll w alk around the block— at
least, we w ill I f you’re goln' w ith m e!”
And to Fred's delight, though he
concealed It, they would make this de
tour.
T he evening a fte r th eir return to
the university both were busy w ith
th e ir trunks and various orderings und
disordering« of their apartm ent, but
Fred several times expressed surprise
that hls roommate should he content
to remain at hom e; and finally Rain-
sey comprehended these Implications.
Mrs. Meigs’ chandelier Im m ediately

upon the floor above.
“You let me u p!” Fred commanded
thickly, hls voice muffled by the pile
of flannels, sweaters, underwear and
raincoats, wherein hls head was being
forced to burrow.
“You let me up,
darn you!
I didn't say anything.”
And upon hls release he complained
that the attack was unprovoked. “I
didn't say anything on earth to even

If anybody In p articu lar had got hack
to college yet. I didn’t even mention
the name of Dora Yo— Keep off o’

tiv e !"
As a m atter o f fact, neither of them
saw Dora until the flrst meeting of the
Lumen, w hither they went as sopho
mores to take their pleasure In the
agony of freshmen debaters. Ramsey
was now able to attend the Lumen, not
with complacence but at least w ithout
shuddering over the recollection o f hls
own spectacular first appearance there.
He had made subsequent appearances,
far from b rilliant, yet not disgraceful,
