Says a dispatch from New York, Secretary of the Navy Daniels termed the year of 1919 one of “fiddling and delay,” and as “the tragedy of tragedies,” in the opening address of _the Near East relief fund campaign. Daniels referred to the peace treaty and asserted that although America had not kept faith with the allies, he had . confidence that the American people would do their duty. S America not kept faith with her allies? Bosh! Daniels ‘had better read the letter written by Viscount Grey of England, 4n which he asserted that “the delay was due to' constitutional questions and caution as to the possible effects of entering the ‘Jeague,” and he also continued, in reference to the United - States, “she is unwilling to make a radical departure from her . former policy without due consideration.” 7" 'And the British press heartily endorsed what Viscount Grey had said. . g 4 When Secretary Daniels says America has not kept faith with the allies, he better take anetlier think, in the. light of ‘what the English statesman said and which, without exception, ‘the:newpapers of that country strongly commended. —_——— .ARE TROUSERS A VEHICLE? COURT WILL DECIDE. The United States district court of Chicago is facing one .- of the knottiest decisions that ever was presented to it, and that is to decide whether a man’s trousers are, or are not, a vehicle. The question was brought before the federal court when -Charles N. Thomas, a Chicago bank president, was arrested Saturday night at a cabaret when he produced from his hip ‘pocket a bottle of concocted highballs for himself and three <companions. Now the query arises, are the trousers a vehicle -Or just a pair of trousers. . Federal prohibition agents maintain that the use of a hip pocket to carry liquor in makes Mr. Thomas’ trousers a vehicle within the dry law, according to their opinion, and the decisio will be awaited with interest by several in this.vitinity. .

Collins of Dutchie is announced by the Baudette Region as a candidate for county commissioner. He isn’t the first man from this end to go to Baudette to have his political boat launched, but that didn’t always get them far. However, if Ed. should happen to secure a-place on the county board there is no doubt but that he’d raise several kinds of hell if he didn’t get what he wanted.—Northern Light.
