The most important plank tn the
platform adopted by the national re
publican convention at Chicago was
the one relating to the League of Na
tions. As finally agreed upon tn the
resolutions committee and accepted by
the convention, it harmonizes the
views of the conflicting elements, some
of which had threatened to bolt the
party.

The plank on the league of nations
says:
“(A) League of Nations—Foreign pol
icy of administration has been founded
upon no principle and directed by no def
inite conceptions of our nation's rights
and obligations. It has been humiliating
to America and Irritating to other na
tions, with the result that, after a period
of unexampled sacrifice, our motives are
suspected, our moral Influence impaired
and our government stands discredited
and friendless among the natlona nt the
world.
"We favor a liberal and ‘generous for-
eign policy, founded upon definite morsi
and political principles, characterized by
a clear understanding of and firm adher
ence upon our own rights and unfailing
respect for the rights of others.
We
should afford full and adequate protec-
tlon to the life, liberty and property and
all International rights of every Ameri-
can ritisen and should require a proper
respect for the American flag: but we
should be equally careful to manifest a
just regard for the rights of other ns-
tions. A scrupulous observance of our
international engagements when lawfully,
assumed Is essential to nur own honor
and self-respect and the respect of other
nations. Subject to a new regard for our
International obligations, we should leave
our country free to develop Its civiliza-
tlon along the Unes moat conducive to the
happiness and welfare of the people, and
to cast its Influence on the aide of justice
and right ahould occasion require.
"The republican party stands for agree-
ment among the nations to preserve the
peace of the world We believe that auch
an International association must be
based upon International justice and must
provide methods which shall maintain
the rule of public right by development
of law and the decision of Impartial
courts, and which shall secure instant

political action, so that the nations
pledged to do and insist upon what is
just and fair may exercise their Influence
and power for the prevention of war.
We believe that all off this can be done
without the compromise of national in-
dependence, without depriving the people
of the United States In advance of the
right to determine far themselves what
is just and fair, when the occasion arises
and without Involving them—ns partici-
pants and not as

NO “ROUGHING IT” FOR JAPS
Orientala on Pacific Coast Not to Be
Lured From the Conveniences
of City Life.
J. F. Brown, sage and philosopher
of Nolte’s board of strategy table, has
some sad experiences with Japanese
laborers, particularly when wanted for
his ranch on Molokai. He says he has
made the rounds of Japanese auto
stands where orientals in spick and
span clothes wait and loaf all day
long for a passenger, content to do
that rather than take a real honest-to-
goodness Job. He makes his offer of
wages, good wages, with house and
fuel and water and so on.
Sucking his breath through his
teeth, and after some reflection, the
Japanese Inquires:
“You got barber shop there?”
Brown was taken off his feet when
this question was first propounded.
No, he didn't know of a barber shop
around. Ills ranch Ig well up In the
mountains, one of the most beautiful
places in the islands.
“You got store?”
Brown confesses to a store three
miles away. More reflection.
“You got picture house?”
Brown blinks at thia question even
now.
Finally, the Japanese says one thing
more.
“No can go. Me got brother ver-ry
seeck. Too bad. I sor-ry.”—Pacific
Commercial Advertiser.
WILL SIFT ANCIENT MOUNDS
Archeologists Plan Moat Thorough
Examination of Structures at
Camp Sherman, In Ohio.
Exc ivations of seven prehistoric
mounds at Camp Sherman will be
started by Dr. William C. Mills, cura
tor of the Ohio State Archeological
and Historical society. The farm on
which the mounds are situated was
one of those condemned and purchased
by the government for Camp Sherman.
The only examination ever made of
the mounds was by Squier and Davis
In 1846. Relics they uncovered were
purchased by the Blackmore museum,
Salisbury, England, for $10,000.
Squier and Davis were responsible
for the conclusion that the mounds
were built by a distinct race, known as
"Mound Builders.” This theory Is vig-
orously contested by Doctor Mills and
other noted archeologists. They say
there Is conclusive evidence that the
mounds were built by American In
dians of the Algonquin family. Squier
and Davis, In their examination of
the mounds, merely tunneled several
of the mounds. Doctor,Mills will com
pletely tear them down sifting a great
part of the dirt through screens. There
are 28 mounds in the group. Some al
ready have been excavated by Doctor
Mills. One was found to contain 133
skeletons and 12,000 specimens of flint,
copper and pottery implements, and
vessels.
“Little Zion” Becomes Park.
Three hundred miles south of Salt
Lake City and reached by automobile
from Lund, Utah. Is Little Zion can-
yon, the newest of American national
playgrounds.
The canyon derives Its name from
Salt Lake City, which about 50 years
ago waa known as Zion.
Brigham
Young and other Mormons visited the
district and the Inhabitants decided
that they would cal the canyon “Lit
tle Zion," evidently considering Salt
Lake City a big place.
I Within the last few years. Little Zion
canyon haa heen visited by a large
number of tourists and some of them
have termed It “The Rainbow of the
Desert.”
There are deep canyons with cliffs
of blood red and cliffs of cream white
rising to a height of 2.500 feet. Huge
natural bridges and 1 evel -1 opped -pia -
tenus, with precipitous cliffs and ple-
turesque amphitheaters, provide a pic
ture that strikes one with awe.—Chris
tian Science Monitor.
When Mankind Was Young.
Not being as well Informed as Dr.
W. D. Matthews, curator of the Amer
ican Museum of Natural History, is
about the matter, you have to take his
word for It. “It" happens to be the
“Teinoden," or "Terrible Tooth.” a
prehistoric animal that must have re-
sembled some equally prehistoric de
lirium tremens animal.
What really Interests us la the fol-
lowing statement from Doctor Mat
thews :
"At that time our ancestors were IIt-
He, opossumlike, furry creatures, liv
ing In trees and quite too small and
inconspicuous to be troubled by the
huge reptiles who In those days held
the earth In fee."
The opossum, like a lot of meh, la
fond of snoozing.
Squirrels Big as Cats.
There Is no country that ran rival
North America for the great number
of squirrels, both species and subspe-
cles, represented In her fauna. In so
far as brilliancy of color and size are
concerned, however, says the Ameri
can Forestry Magazine of Washington,
the handsomest and largest squirrels
In the world are found In the Orient
and the East Indies. Along the coast
of Malabar Is found a squirrel as big
as an ordinary cat: this animal is
bright red on the upper part of Its
body, offset by the moat Intense black,
while all the lower parts are of a
clear
yellow.
Sixty Million Chairs Made.
Sixty million chaira have been man-
ufactured In Gardner, Mass., since the
Industry was first established tn that
town, a century ago.
