PAYNE, MITH NEW YORK 5 » BURNS AND S (Official City, State and County Newspaper) Against World Court Colonel Smith's cutstandinng victory in Mlinois in- dicates that the middle west is not enthusiasti the world court. The press of Ch 0 is almost unanimous in attributing Senator McKinley's defeat to the world court issue. The Chicago Journal of Commerce, a newspaper favorable to the world court, in the following paragraphs gives as the chief factor in McKinley's defeat his vote on the world court: “In common with the majority of the + country, we have supported the world court, believing it holds out to the United States some premise and no menace. The fears and quakes of its opponents we believe to have been unjustified; and many of the po- litical appeals to ‘patriotic’ anti-court timent have manifestly been insincere. “But it seems plain that the large major- ity of Frank L. Smith over Senator Me- Kinley, analyze it any y you like, dem- onstrates that the majority of the people of Illinois are not in favor of American adher- ence to the world court” We have reason to suspect this feeling is the general sentiment of the midwestern country. sen- “It is natural for this section of the United States to be the last to accept the _.idea of world court. More than any other part of the country, we are shielded from world contacts. Far removed from a coast, we do not think in terms of the’sea or of international affairs. And we are inclined to have a certain cocky contempt for foreign nations and their incomprehensibilities. “The victory of Colonel Smith indicates the political sagacity of the president in refusing to endorse Senator McKinley di- rectly or to send cabinet officers here te speak for him. Such an effort, though it would have materially reduced Colonel Smith’s lead, would not have eliminated it. But perhaps if Senator McKinley had had the whole-hearted cooperation not only of the president but of all those who had supported the court resolution, the election might have gone another way.” This issue doubtless will become prominent as the sNorth Dakota senatorial campaign proceeds. Sen- ator Nye opposed the world court and L. B. of Fargo has endersed the world court.

He never saw the importance of keep- ing such records as would show exactly how he jreached his results+the exact lineage of his hy- | brids. The chief difference between Mr. Burbank and other growers of trees and flowers was that he had a wonderful ability to judge from very young seed- lings whether they were worth keeping. He would select one young tree from several thousand, let it | live and destroy all the others. Those he thus chose so often demonstrated at maturity the possession of just the qualities he was seeking that his method justified itself in practice. Several times men of scientific attainments at- tempted to supplement Mr. Burbank’s work by keep ing careful account of his proéeedings. The emi- nent Dutch biologist, De Vri spent some weeks | or months with the Californian in an effort to do for him what he would not do for himself, but the {experiment preved a failure. Burbank did not have the patience to give his visitor the data he needed. Many cf Burbank’s triumphs are not credited to | him in the imperfect annals of his work.

The controversy over the possible good and bad effects of the motion picture has hung fire for a considerable time.

Brookhart, the radical Republican. The vote was | close. Forty-five senators thought Steck was elect- ed and forty-one were for Brookhart. Party and } factional lines had not a great deal to do with the result. Senators who never had voted together be- fore except on motions to adjourn in respect ta.some- 'body’s memory found themselves on the same side. | La Follette was with Smoot and Borah with Pepper. Nine Democrats voted against the seating of a Dem- ocrat. Sixteen Republicans voted against their party’s man. Most of them were conservative Republicans who felt that a tame Democrat would do the Re- ; publican party less harm than a wild Republican like Brockhart, who knows no party discipline. Possi- bly they were right, but we doubt it. Brookhart started out in the senate as a wild man, but he has tamed down considerably. Maybe he has been on his gocd behavior of recent months be- cause he saw the vote on his election just ahead of him, but we don’t think so. Washington tames the woeliest of them. The jmild climate, the ease and dignity, the niceties of social life, and especially family ambitions, conspire against irregularity. A senator has not one but six winters in Capua. One of the“hardest jobs in the world is to pre- serve an attitude of hostility to the established order and live the life of @ senator in Washingtoh.

Her antago- nist led the rush to the back of the car. From the rear of the cower- ing column a voice snarled: “Put that knife down!" “There isn't a bum among you who has the nerve to take it away from me,” she taunted. Bravo came up, the kitten in his hand. He stroked Alley’s fur, and Alley arched his back with delight. “Let's have it, child,” said Bravo gently. She handed him the knife. “I didn’t mean ‘bum’ to you,” she muttered. didn’t mean ‘child’ to you,” he said. Peace with honor. It began to rain, Water dripped Some of the bums dozed, tied up in frowsy knots of one or more men. A single sleeper sprawled in a corner of the car, on a thin layer of dirty straw.

If ten cents became ninety in this interesting game, what might not happen to ninety cents? When it came her turn to bid she pushed her all to the center of the soap box. “The woiks?” asked Milkshake, uneasily. “The woiks!” exulted Barbara, This time she drew seven cards, “I've got twenty,” she announced, obligingly. “Take another?” insinuated crafty Milkshake. “You might hit “The kid’ll stand on what he's got,” interfered Bravo. “I'm cold,” exploded Milkshake and tossed the pack of cards over his head. “I claim there ain't no Justice.” He began to count out money, He shoved over $9.90.

Strange people, these hoboes, ‘Takes all the dough in the game,” complained the mendicant, ask, is there any justice?” : “Pipe down,” said Bravo quietly from the shadows. The surly one shambled away. The door in the roof of the car opened and a man. in oilskins clambered down. ‘The card game expired.
