COUE
Just at the moment Coue is a bigger figure in the United
States than he ever was in France. Recently a party of
distinguished Frenchmen, comprising statesmen and jour
nalists and other professional men, were at Dearborn, and
the name of Coue was mentioned. None of the Frenchmen
knew him. All attempts to identify him failed. The jour
nalists made a note in their hooks to look him up when they
got home.
And here i.s Coue, filling American newspapers and
American pulpits with his name. Arrived in New York,
and scarcelv landed, he begins a series of newsppaper arti
cles 011 his impressions ol the united Mates: unc cjl-ikv-man
is threatened with a heresy trial for classifying Coue
with Jesus Christ. Physicians and hospital experts, adopt
ing a different attitude than was formerly shown in such
matters, express a willingness to believe that Coue does ac
complish some good in certain cases.
It is quite a furor but somehow- one keeps remembering
the French journalists who wrote down Coue's name, to
look him up when they got home. Either France is much
slower than the world is accustomed to think her, or Amer
ica is "easier" or, but this is the most probable explana
tion, an American impresario (vulgarly, "press agent")
has been requisitioned. Jt is a marvelously combined Amer
ican tour and advertising stunt, and the Coue book publish
ers, and the Coue newspaper syndicates are doubtless
aware of flush times.
This is not to disparage Coue. He is very probably a
good man and an honest servant of the suffering. His doc
t tine that the imagination is more powerful than the will,
is of great importance. His self-effacement proclaims the
fiber of his character. I hit how can he teach us the lesson
of liborating ourselves from this mania for foreign celebri
ties who are not celebrated at home?
Or is it this Great liritian having pioneered in the
game of propaganda by celebrities, France has decided to
iollovv suit? Fs Coue really an unofficial envoy of political
France anxious to promote American leniency? Doubtless
he is. but it is by no means certain that he knows it. On
this view, impartial judgment will award the plan to
French pronagandisni. Coue, after all, is worth a whole
lot of Sir Philip Gibbses and Margot Asquiths. Dearborn

State House, Salem, Feb. 1. A

A great many people residing in
Oregon do not realize that the few
remaining antelope in southeastern
Oregon are fast disappearing like
the buffalo and other wild animals
of the middle west a few years ago.
This interesting American game ani
mal should not be allowed to disap
pear from the face of the earth alto
gether, and for this reason the state
game commission of Oregon and the
truestees of the permanent wild life
protection fund of America have de
cided to offer a reward of $200 for
information that will lead to the ar
rest and conviction of any person
killing an antelope in Oregon.

for exoneration of President Wilson from a share of the

,,. r in. 1m. u-hether the chamres made in the
nriirin.-il draftf of the covenant met its criticisms, and it hac
,il,t t,, -iitnili reservations to its ratification of the
treaty? It had done so with regard to former treaties, ant
its ri'dil had not been questioned. Nor would acceptance
of reservations have involved rewriting the treaty. A mini
her of signatory powers made reservations to one or mor
of the second lmoui ot Hague treaties, and they were ac
cented. The other signatories of the Versailles treaty hat
ihe ru-lit to make reservations. If thev had done so their
reservations might have been accepted without material!
affecting the compact; that would have depended on their
nature.
The entire st.rv of the Versailles treaty shows Mr. W'i
sou to have been primarily responsible for the failure of the
United States to become a partv to it. 1 le asked tor a pop
ular mandate as unembarrassed spokesman to make the
treatv, and, the people refused to give it. That refusal in
dicated that a treaty would run risk of not being ratified
unless it was made by joint, action of both parties, but Mr.
Wilson made it his own personal work. More than enough
senators to defeat ratification signed a declaration that
the league covenant should not be a part of the peace
treatv, hut .should lie arranged after the treaty Was signed.
Mr. Wilson insisted that the two be interwoven, even alter
the allies showed inclination to separate them. The senate
receded from its former position so far that a large majori
ty of the republicans voted to ratify treaty and covenant as
tie document, provided certain reservations were acecpt-
co, ami tney are joincu iy twenty-one democrats. u
only half of the democrats whovoted against the reserva
tions had voted for them the treaty would have won, but
Mr. Wilson would tolerate no compromise, saying that any
reservation would nullify, and he held those democrats in
line. The treaty was rejected by the combined votes of
those senators who stood out against the league and those
uho stood with Wilson for the league without change. Mr.
Wilson stood firm, though both France and l!rit:ou made
known that they would accept the reservations.
Those who deny that Wilson was jointly responsible
with I'orah for rejection of the treaty close their u nds to
the plain facts of the history of ioio-jo. At almost any
time before the final vote Wilson could have secured ratifi
cation by either accepting the reservations, which. Mr.
Taft said, left the covenant on per cent good, or by con
sent to a compromise. The rcservationists co.i not in
cither event have voted against ratification without put
ting themselves hopelessly in the wrong before pu!!;c opin
ion. Mr. Wilson destroyed his own work with the aid of
its foes rather than permit his opponents to ha-e a hand
in it, or than recognize that the senate's part in treaty
making was more than an empty formality. Oregonian.
RIS PARTY
A matron of determined charac
ter was encountered by a young wo
man on a country paper, who was
sent out to interview leading citizens
as to their politics.
"May I se Mr. ?" she asked
of a stern looking1 woman who open
ed the door at one house.
"No, you can't," answered the ma
tron decisively.
"Hut I want to know what party
he belongs to," pleaded the girl.
The woman drew up her tall fig
ure. "Well, take a good look at
me," she said, "I'm the party he be
longs to.' Capper's Weekly.

alarm. "Quick, get your club and

"What's the matter?" the cave
man interrogated.
"A saber tooth tiger is chasing my
mother," wild the cave woman.
The cave man assumed an air of
annoyance. "And why the duce
