! wholly unfavorable.
It looks like a victory for nearly everybody concern

who will not approve the international under any conditions.

If Janan believes, so thornnphlv in thp "pminlitv nf
races" as her representatives at 1'aris and in this country
profess, it might be a good idea to start practicing the,
incline ui nunie.
This principle, like that of "self determination" in or
der to be valued must be applied universally. But do we
find Japan treating the Chinese and Koreans us equals,
either nationally or individually? We do not. China, an
independent nation, is treated in practice as inferior and
incapable of managing her own affairs. Korea, under a
. fiction of heloflll develonmcnt. is reduced tn servitude.
Neither Chinese nor Koreans are treated in any way as
the equals of Japanese, at home or abroad. Moreover,
Japan has hind and mining laws that bear heavily on all
foreigners, including Americans.
To be sure, our own skirts are not altogether clean.
We do discriminate against other nations, especially cer
tain groups, including some of our best friends in Europe.
But we have never argued for race-equality. And we do
not discriminate against the Japanese anywhere so much
as the Japanese themselves pretend, and certainly no
where near so much as they themselves discriminate
against races which seem to stand in their way. '

get the story over the wires that it printed this morning?
It contained a "roast" for Burleson in every sentence, and
reads like the kind of stuff that is being sent out from
J. Bourne's Washington bureau of political mis-information.

The Italians have left the peace conference because

And speaking of the proposed German indemnity, you

RIPPLING RHYMES

FISH.
The fish again are in the brook, from distant waters
faring; and I must take a line and hook, and catch a cod
or herring. When spring arrives I always feel an idiotic
longing to go abroad with rod and reel, where other sports
are thronging. My wife remarks, "To streamlet's short I
beg that you don't loat it; go, buy canned salmon at the
.fore, and stay at home and cat it. You're always grouchy
as a bear when you come home from angling; the way you
rave around and swear sets all my nerves a'jangling." I
know she's right; the fishing game I ought to call a halt
on; I'll never duplicate the fame of good old Izaak Wal
ton. Twere better far to plant some spuds, or prune the
gruwing carrot, or gatner up my winter duds, and store
them in the garret. And yet the mighty urge I feel would
make the deadest swab stir; I'll have to try to catch an
eel, a dolphin or a lobster. I ought to trim that stately
tree, whose life is plainly failing; but oh, the brook is call
ing me, and I must catch a grayling. I ought to grind the
reaping hook, and toil like thrifty brothers; but there are
nickers in the brook, and wall eyed pike and others. So
I'U forsake the growing greens, and leave the rhubarb
dying, and go and catch some canned sardines, or break
a f ishpole trying.
After dinner Nell iiimonnred that
he hail intended to n down town renl
ly nlmuld meet nome men at the club,
1ml he wim so tired they could K"t tilonj;
without him. I u delighted. He was nt

Wc liilked of his mint's nprnn-hiiiK
visit, of our hoy, his rtmiiin;; wiivs, and
what we hoped to do for him. It wns
n never failing muirce of pleasure for
Neil to plan the education of his small
son. Then after a while I introduced
the sulijoet 1 knew would lie distaste
ful to him.
'Neil we JM'NT t.ilk things out.

sleep fur n week. Wia't ynu explain

'No here Hah you wouldn't under
stand if I tried to explain. And really
there Is nothing to tell yen. Kverythiug
is going along all right."
"I know it is ns far as money goes.
Neil dear. Hut won't yon stop associat
ing with theso cheap common men
whom yon go to Hlanch Orton's with,
mid whom her servants talk of us being
so common and cheap In their actions."
t had no intention f telling him any
thing I had heard throiiL'h Mr. Kred-
eriik, I had mentioned he had called,
Imih that was nil,
''What lot of cats women srel I
thought Itorruine Norton was nbovc

''Ilring thetu here now. Veil! I'll do
my best to ninko it pleasant for them
Riid you," 1 said impulsively. I had
no ides, of making such s proposition
when I commenced to talk.
"Not on your life!" he quickly re
plied, then filched. I knew he was
of those women Mr. Frcdorii-k !
lad spoken of, nd that he knew be
could not bring them to meet me.
''But why!"
''Lots of reasons. We will not dis
cuss them please. It will not bo neces
sary to entertain them as frequently
after a bit. Wo have this deal nearly
finished. I shall take a vacation from
work for a while although I have to
stay in town."
"Is it true, Neil, that you sell stock
