LY SEE WORLD COUR SNAGGED INSENATE, . 6. 0.P. Leaders Say Johnson Proves Irreconcilables Not & Won by Harding. An outstanding feature of Senator \Bliram Johnson's pronouncement ®gainst the world court fn New York last night s the fact that President Harding has failed to rally any of the old irreconsilable support to his court plan through his St. Louls speech, in the opinion of political observers here today. The President, in St. Louls, Proposed to divorce the world court absolutely from the league of nations #nd to make it a self-perpetuating body. The Johnson speech attacking the world court was received here by re- ublican leaders without surprise. hey admitted, however, that it would undoubtedly make ratification of the rotocol proposing adherence of the nited States to the world court more difficult. ~ Without allowing them- selves to be quoted, they sald also they had reached thé conclusion some time ago the President had no chance of getting the protocol through the Benate. Swanson Sees Chance. Senator Swanson of Virginia, rank- Ing democratic member of the Senate forelgn relations committee, said: “If the President would stick to his original proposal on the world scourt, with the Hughes reservation, hie colld get it ratified by the Senate. Senator Swanson’s idea was that it wag {dle for the President to seek o conciliate the old irreconcilable group among the republicans on the Wworld court proposal. Tho Virginla senator himself 1s to ®ail for Europe next Wednesday. “Senator Johnson has brought back | from Europe just what he took over there,” said Senator Swanson. “In fact, the same thing may be sald of othér senators who have visited Europe this year. They have not ,chenged thelr views because of their travels” Sees Harding Renominated. The opinion was expressed here | today by one of the most prominent | of the republican leaders that Sen- ator Hitam Johnson would not be a candidate for the republican nomi- nation, but that the renomination of President Harding would surely take Place. The people of the United States, as pointed out, are more interest Wn domestic am anin the league of nations 1d the court. An effort by 1tor Johnson to make an issue of the world court would fail, it was said, and the Cal fornian would be leff without any | ssue. it d La Follette to Sall. Senator La Follette of Wisconsin progressive republican, who aided ma terially in the campalgn which r sulted in the recent ¢ fon of Sena- tor Magnus Johnson, the farmer-labor candidate, in Minnesota, is in Wash- ington today. He is preparnig to visit €urope, to study conditions there with particular reference to the co-opera- tive marketing systems adopted in some of the European countries. He will leave here next week and will sail Wednesday Senator m Watson of Indiana also is in Washington today conferring with republican leaders as to what can be done to rally the republican forces for the campaign next vear. In the opinion of Senator Curtis of ansas, the republicans can win the ‘®lection they will get out and work and conduct meetin in_all the schoolhouses and in ery rural com- | munity as well as in the cities.

Crabbe, with a view o possible criminal prosecution of those responsible for “the gigantic frauds which have been perpetrated on so many people of this state.” First intimation that Mr. Crabbe would seek to prosecute officials of the company came last night when a letter to John R. King, prosecuting attorney of Franklin county, urging that he con- duct an investigation, was made public. Inxists on Prosecution. Mr. Crabbe said he would insist that responsible for robbing the people of nearly $30,000,000 be prosccuted to the fullest extent of the law.” Seven industrial concerns, subsidiaries of the Dollings Company, are now in recelvership, Mr. Crabbe also took criticize the state securi s depart- ment, declaring *“it is unthinkable that the securities department is blameless in this great wrong that has been done the people.” Norman E. Beck, state commission- er of securities, in a statement issued {following that of Mr. Crabbe, accused the attorney general of failing to prosecute aileged violutions of the blue sky act when the securities d partment furnished the necessary ev! dence and disclaimed any responsibil- ity in the Dollings case.

And in the gloomy attic dried weeds in bunches hung, to stifle pains rheu- matic, or heal the rusty lung. And now we smile at granny, and josh her ancient ways; the cures were most uncanny they used in olden ays. Strange talk of microbes vicious, strange bunk concerning germs, the learned physicians dish us, in phosphorescent terms. All vain are mullein bitters, and useless tansy tea; we have to kill the crit- ters that are too small to see. Of course, old dames were silly to hrew things in a crock, and climb the pas- tures hilly in search of yellow dock; in vain was their endeavor, in vain the cures they sprung; yet people lived forever when you and I were young. Filled up with yarbs and pine tea, the graybeards went their way, and when their years were ninety, they still were pitching hay. The old receipts we're burning, we know old ways were wrong, and yet, with all our learning, we do not live so long. (Copyright) ~ WALT MASON.

Mr. Clayton said today that five or six years ago he sounded out a large number of the members of the enate and House on this question the main objection raised at at time was that the city then had an old bond issue still pending.
