WHY SENATOR REED FOR ENVOY? reason for the selection of Senator Reed of Pennsylvania to participate in the proposed Lon-( don naval parley is being sought by Washington correspondents. It is easy to account for the selec- tion of Secretary of State Stimson to head the envoys. He presides over the forelgn department of the Hoover Administration. Newspapermen find it almost to account for the selection of Senator Robinson of Arkansas. He is not only the| Democatic leader but he holds membership on both‘ the Foreign Relations and Naval Affairs Committees of the Senate. The natural selection of a Repub- lican Senator would have been, of course, Senator | Borah, Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Re- lations. The place was offered to him and refused. Newspaper men are now trying to figure out! why Senators Johnson, Edge, Capper and Gillett, all of whom outrank Senator Reed on the Foreign | Relations Committee, Senator Watson, the Repub- lican leader, and Senator Hale, Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committee, were set aside for the Pennsylvanian | Of course, the peculiar fitness of Senator Reed as a lawyer and as a persuasive Senatorial debater must have counted a lot. His qualifications woul(l‘ well fit him to participate in the negotiations and in the debate that is likely to follow in the Senate to bring about the ratification of any covenant that might be arrived at. The New York World thinks, iu addition to the peculiar fitness of Senator Reed, his name was reached through the process of elimination. to Edge will soon retire from the Senate, and already The as easy bas his mind fastened upon the position of Am-) bassador to France rather than upon the Senate. Senator Watson is regarded as too politically-mind- | ed for real statesmanship. Hale, Johnson and Moscsi are big navy men and not regarded as likely to be convinced that there should be disarmament. Capper and Gillett have very serious re-election troubles ;ahead of them. Hence the field was cleared away | through elimination for the emergence of Senator Reed, next in line and probably the best qualified man of them all for the place. | If no heartaches result there can be no doubt! that the President made the very best possible solution of the problem of picking out two Senators| to serve on the important mission. It is generally believed that Ambassador Dawes will be another member of the group. The fifth place, it is believed, will go either to Ambassador Gibson or to a lead-| ing Democratic diplomat. If a Democrat should be chosen it would probably be John W. Davis. ) EXPECT MORE FROM DEMOCRATS. Gov. Roosevelt says if the stock market panic had occurred during a Democratic Administration the Republicans would have charged that it was due to business bungling by the party in power.| And the accusers would probably have got away with their accusations. Many things occurred dur- ing the Administrations of Presidents Harding and Coolidge that would have destroyed a Democratic Administration’s prestige and driven it from puwcr,! The people seem to expect more and better things | serious.” Sena- | jwith international good feeling.

The Common- wealth Legislature contains 44 Laborites, 16 Na- tionali 10 County Partyists, 3 Independent Na- tionalists, 1 Country Independent and 1 Independ- ent.

What is the best method of overcoming a forest fire? Backfire. What was ciple? I “A sound attack is the best defense.” | How are retail merchants best in a position to meet competition? By aggressive sales and advertisting tactics. Especially significant is a recent extract from a radio talk by John H. Casey, of the University of Oklahoma School of Journalism. He quotes the statement of the advertising manager of one of the country's largest mail order houses, as follows: We have a bureau whose duty is to read each week country newspapers from all over the world. This bureau looks over these newspapers and when they find a town where the merchants are not advertising in the local paper we immediately flood that territory with our literature. It always brings results far in excess of the same effort put forth in territories where the local merchants use their local papers. So, if you do not want a mail order attack on your town, take the field yourself and hold it valliantly. Any merchant in fighting trim, with well-trained forces and a planned campaign need fear no opponent or competitor. { Marshal Foch's main tactical prin- MacDonald and Defeat. (Olympia Olymplan.) Out of all the stories that have been revived concerning J. Ramsay MacDonald, Prime Minister of Great Britain, since his rise to that office none better describes the man and his philosophy than one told of the‘day when his first Ministry went down to defeat. This tale is from a story of his life, published by Leonard Parsons. The setting is the Prime Min- ister's house in Chequers. The time, the evening before the defeat of his Government in 1923 Mac- Donald was resting with his friends around him. The pianola had been playing Schumann's “Nacht- stuck.” The telephone rang and MacDonald got up to answer it. An interval of listening followed. Then MacDonald's voice, “You think it is serious?"” Another interval. “As bad as that?” replaced the receiver and said quietly, “It appears that this is the last week-end here. Thomas, Labor Secretary, says we're ‘in the soup.’ This is He rose, crossed to the pianola which had |run down—*“I want that thing again,” he said, “it's marvelously beautiful.” The “Shawnee.” (Prince Rupert Empire.) this shooting up of Canadian boats which claim to be outside the limit is playing fast and loose There_was noth- “Shawnee” was a rum run- ner. The skipper says she was in ballast 26 miles off New York. But notwithstanding this she was shelled by a United States patrol. A patrol ves- sel is presumed to be fast. Why was not the sus- pect overhauled? This artillery practice with a boat from a friendly country as a target, even in the saced name of Prohibition, is “a bit thick.” In New York Mr. Stillman is the target for the tabloid scandal mongers and the hare for a pack of financial hounds. In Alaska they name a lake after him, slap him on the back and call him “Jim” and teach him to cook his own sourdough LR G L | A familiar proposal for the prevention of war is to get everybody together around a big table.

THE SAD WITCHES By MARY GRAHAM BONNER The Little Black Clock took Peggy and John to the strangest iplace they had ever seen. It look popped little goblins every once in awhile. In the field there was a great bonfire and around it sat some creatures who looked exactly like witches. the witches got up, put on a tall the air on a broomstick. But for the most part they just sat eround the bonfire as though they were quite tired. “Do talk to them,” said the Little Black Clock. “They're feeling very sad.” “Sad?” asked Peggy. quired John. “Ask them,” said the Little Black Clock. Both Peggy and John had always been very brave. They had never been afraid of the dark. They knew that was foolish. They had never been afraid of giants coming and catching them. They knew that was foolish, too. They like giants in stories” but knew they would never come to their house to pay .a call, or take them away. So they loved seeing the witches and the goblins and they weren't in the least bit afraid of them. They both went up to one of the witches who had just come back from a short broom-stick ride. “Tell us,” Peggy began, “why you're sad.” “Yes,” said John, “the Little Black Clock says you are. What's the trouble?” “Trouble enough,” said the witch. “Trouble enough,” called the gob- lins as they darted out from the woods and came around the bon- fire, too. “It's the times,” said the witches in chorus. “The times, the sad, ‘sud times.” | e . | Dell E.
