Marvellous diplomacy is right. Not only must Japan have se
cured a secret treaty, known only to tho Capital Journal, but she must
have evolved a scheme by w hich one vote can overcome three, when
ever a dismite arises.

FAT AND FATE.
I
Ye Smudge Pot
" By Arthur Perry.
It Is now reported that millions of
Europeans desire to come to this
country to visit relatives, if the Immi
irraUon restriction bars are let down
by congress next June. Why not have
the relatives go to Europe, and pre
vent American citizens (ram being
crowded into the Pacific ocean.

Probably this is cxapprernted. but the fact remains that the prcat
film jester undoubtedly is not worrying this year, about his income
tax. All of which suggests tho dictum of Tolstoi, that all of us are
merely chips on the torrent of life, being rushed willy nilly, slaves of a
volatile and whimsical Fate.
Born in a sod house, excellently equipped to shine as tic wihlor of
a pick ax, Roscoe, was seized by the torrent of pictorial exploitation
r-nd raised in the wink of an eye to a semi-regal eminence. J
Then to adopt a scone from "Way Down East," tho-ioo broke up.
Some of the chunks dashed through the rocks without a scratch, but
the corpulent segment, smashed into a boulder, shunted off to crash
on a ledge, and in pathetic little pieces, sank into oblivion beneath
the falls.
Spurlos Versenkt ! Tolstoi was right. No man, fat or loan, is mas
ter of his Fate.

OH, HAPPY DAY.
IT WrILL BE splewlid whfn wars are ended and peace has come
to stay, when swords are busted and cannon rusted, and no
one yearns to slay. Through all the ages, in futile rages, the sons
of men have fought, in war found pleasure, and none can meas
ure the evil they have wrought. The soil we tread on was scrap
ped and bled on by nuts of bygone days; tho early savage was
wont to ravage, and kill off other jays. Arc wc.ho dotty, ho vain
and naughty, that we can't quit old tricks? Must we forever at
tempt to sever the domes of other hicks? Is all our yearning for
higher learning a wish for, some disguise to cloak our longing for
armies thronging, and death for countless guys? Oh, donnerwet
tcr, pre we no better Oian men who lived .in caves, whose daily
labors were killing neighbors, and digging early graves? Let's
make it plainer that we are saner than those ancestral boobs,
and scrap our cruisers and can the bruiser who kill off harmless
rubes. Let's make wheelbarrows and plows and harrows of
swords and guns 'find spears, and do our knitting with Peace,
a-flitting thiough all our golden years.
