The common} clam or fresh water mussel is a domestic not a wild animal. This court decision in in perfect accord with the view we have held for many years. We have ever noted the calmness, dignity and excellent behavior | of the clam. Its entire freedom from complaint} regardless of weather, war or other disturbing oc-! * currence. Its perfect deportment, its untainted | attitude toward jazz and the prevailing wildness that has of late years swept the world off its feet. ; The clam has remained perfectly sedate. There " may have been a timie in the early days of clam- 5 ology when the clam got on its mussel and its voice was heard in convention assembled/along with the mastodous pachyderms and other noisy dele- « gates coming down from the jungles to the seashore to attend. Be al] that as it may. When the clam did decide to settle down to the quiet and simple life, it has remained consistently by its convictions. No influence, appeal or inducement has ever been sufficiently strong or attractive to vary its con- stancy. We commend the great court’s wisdom and judg- ment that keeps the clam out of any classification as a wild animal. If tie decision had been the contrary we feel certain the clam could never live up to the reputaton that would be implied. For Making Faces. Wee it is the province and function of the courts to prutect the citizens as well as deter- mine the measure of their rights and differences. still they are appealed to on occasion in many peculiar matters, There is the Iowa young lady who applied to the superior court for an injunction and secured it against a doctor of ber town forbidding him doing these things which she alleged annoyed her: Making ugly faces every time he meets her. Sticking out his tongue at her. ~ Turning up his nose at her. Making objectionable noises in Fer presence. Driving hin motor close to her on the street and honk- ing his horn at her. Sounding his siren in such manner as to shatter her nerves In her statement to the court the young lady further represented that the doctor’s persecution had just about driven her to distraction and her ordinarily splendid health had begun to decline under the treatment the doctor was voluntarily and without her solicitation prescribing for her. She desired relief and got it, and now the doctor is paying strict attention to his patients and to all intents and purposes refraining from annoy- ing the fair enjoiner. The underlying cauee of the doctor’s hostility was not brought out nor even alluded to in the court proceedings, and apparently no one knows for sure the basis of it except the principals. Since neither seem inclined to take the public into confidence, the old home town is wild with rumors, and conversation over the teacups is picking up. If the doctor becomes restive under the injunc- tion and ever applies to the court to have it dis- solved he will have to show good and sufficient cause and then probably a countryside now ex- piring of curiosity and speculation will have the mystery solved —-----0 Recalling a Diplomatic Incident. | E DEATH in Paris of Bellamy Storer, a dis tingushed American diplomat of the McKinley. Roosevelt period, recalls the sensation when Pres- ident Roosevelt removed Mr. Storer as American ambassador to Vienna. Storer was a wealthy and polished lawyer of Cincinnati, whose wife was a granddaughter of Nicholas Longworth, one of the founders of that city, and an aunt to Nicholas Longworth, present “member of Congress from the First Ohio district. © The Longworths and Storers were socially promi- © nent in Ohio, Washington and New York and @ among their closest friends were the Roosevelts. | vous Secretary Weeks directed the superintendent of the ambassador and those of the president. The president gained the idea that Storers, who were} Roman Catholics, were using the office of the am- bassador to meddle in the affairs of the church, thereby involving the United States in controversy; with various European Catholic monarchies. } Mrs. Storer took up the defense of her husband and made an excellent job of it. Much correspond- ence containing many “Dear Bellamys,” “Dear Ma- rias” and “Dear Theodores,” was given to the pul ic and among the letters was one written by Col- onel Roosevelt, then governor of New York and just previous to his elevation to the vice toa | dency, to be shown iy Mrs. Storer to Cardinal Rampolla “in order to convince the Vatican of the friendly atiitude of prominent Americans to ward Archbishop Ireland and his policy.” It was the hope of American Catholics at the time that} in the pending election Archbishop Ireland would | be chosen the first American cardinal. i The controversy between the president and the| Storers continued over many weeks and the opin-| jon settled to a belief that the president was not! justified in the action he took and the alleged meddling was simply a friendly interest in matters) to which the Storers were devoted and in no sense complicated diplomatic relations with otber/ While relations between the president and the| Storers remained strained to the end those of the} fam ntinued on the same old footing of} cordiality. | ause of its unusual character and the promi-| of the persons concerned the ine | mains still a subject of interest among those fa | | miliar with the detail BRC IGP Se An Unwelcome Snob. | TNCOVERING the true character of a foreign propagandist of the most contemptible type/ is about the easiest thing Secretary Weeks does) when he deigns to notice such stuff. | That these folks infest the United States in great} numbers it is true, but it is only occasionally one} of sufficient importance appears out of which it is} worth while to make an object lesson. | Such a one arrived recently, John Fortesque.| president of the Royal Historical Society of Great Britain. He was scheduled to address the cadets at West Point on Armistice Day. The day pre of the academy not to permit’ Mr. Fortesque to; deliver his talk. The reason for the secretary's action is found in a book on “British of the Great War,” in which Mr. Fortesque, the author, makes the following observations: “Americans esteem a good bargain, even if gained by dishonorable means, to mark the highest form of ability. The United States can not engage in any form of competition with us, from athletics diplomacy, without using foul play. They must win, if not by fair, then by prearranged trickery or violence; if not by open negotiations, then by garbled maps and forged documents. There is the fact. It may be unpleasant, but it can not be denied.” The secretary's laconic comment was that “An| author entertaining these sentiments is not con-} sidered to be a proper person to address the stu- dents of a government academy.” We should say not! Neither is he a proper person to address any other group of American citizens. It is the an- nounced purpose of Mr. Fortesque to deliver a series of lectures throughout the country, and the evil influence he would have spread among our} people would have been tremendous had not the} pects unmasked him at the inception of his ‘our. The president of the Royal Historical Society may be an exaggerated instance of Anti-American European, but, judging from the number of such individuals who are continually visiting the United States, the type must be an extensive one. Few of them are so open in their criticism of Americans as Mr. Fortesque, but the fact that they are all so free with the advice on the entrance of this country into the League of Nations, treatment of the allied debts, and assistance to Europe shows that they are no true friends. It is time the Amer- ican people called a halt on such proceedings and announced to the world that the leaders elected by their votes were quite capable of handling the affairs of the United States without outside as- sistance. The secretary has indicated the course that should guide the authorities throughout the United States. State and municipal officials and leaders of organized movements of all kinds everywhere should take their cue from the secretary of war. There is no room on the American lecture platform or in the columns of the American press for the dissemination of propaganda calculated to under- mine the respect of our citizens for their govern- ment and its institutions. aS EES SES a Chinese Markets. pRAang with China offers opportunities that it is difficult to overestimate. The population of the country is almost four times that of the United States, and as civilization spreads among the Chinese people their demands for goods such as we produce are going to grow by leaps and bounds. A big influence toward bringing China to a greater appreciation of American-made goods is the large number of young Chinese who are coming to the United States in search of an edu- cation. The natural integrity of Chinese buyers has made business relations with them easy and profitable. B ) manufacturers are awakening to the im- portance of the Chinese market, and are urging that no obstacle be placed in the way of young Chinese going to Great Britain and gaining prac- tical experience with British methods and prac- tices to take home with them. They are inclined, of course, to recommend to their countrymen the machines and other products with which they have become familiar. It is in this respect that the Unit- ed States already has an advantage that should be cultivated to the utmost. Our relations with China-are of the friendliest. our country is more readily accessible to China than any other highly civilized nation, and through the aid of the old Boxer indemnity funds the education of Chinese here has been greatly facilitated. To aid in the growth of our Chinese trade we must have transportation facilities; the need for a necessary merchant marine on the Pacific is no less than on the Atlantic; indeed, the future is likely to see the chief commercial routes of the world on the Pacific. Our greatest competitor there now is Japan, and unless we are willing to depend upon Japanese ships to carry American products, the pending merchant marine bill must be enacted into law. Ship subsidies are a settled policy of the Japanese government, and they must be met by similar aid in the United States if the t Mrs. Storer was the godmother of Kermit Roose- yelt and Nicholas Longworth married Alice Roose-! : Pwelt. & The merits of the Storer dismissal were never | fally determined to the satisfaction of the friends competition of American ships is to succeed. We should cultivate the friendliest relations with China, but we should also make that friendship of|* be Casper Daily Cribune The Powerful Katrinka. | Flappers Will Remain. | “Ah.” sige? one of those who} were disapproving but now are hope- ful, “long skirts have returned.
