Now that the Knox peace treaty as passed by the senate has been accepted by the house in place of ‘the peace reso- lution that it previously adopted its fate rests with the president. That there will be a prompt veto is foreseen. Just what the president will say in refusing to sign it i of course not known. He will probably take occasion to refer to this as an entirely wrong method of attermpting to obtain peace. He is likely to use this opportunity for again referring to the necessity of ratifying the treaty which he sent himself to Europe to ne- gotiate and which he brought back from s. He undoubtedly emphasize ations to the European ng greater than our duty demonstrated that it is not seeking to acquire territory by - conquest. Aside from its own protection its purpose in connectiofi With the Monroe doctrine is now and has bBéen from the first altruis- tic.

Without any question the department of, justice has had a chaneé to facé much more work than it évér did béforé be- cause of the condifioHe arising out of the war, but in spité of all the efforts that it has made and régardless of the| therr flavor. laws Which have Béén passed to mdke its work mere efficient there still conditions which it i§ Suspeséd to énd.

They have in fact urged that it be done means of a treaty and for months have given support to that very effort, and believing in doing so that the best interests of this country should be care- fully safeguarded however, because of the inability to get such a treaty ratified, due to the insistence upon the part of the presi- dent that no reservations be made to the treaty which do not bear his mark of approval that the plan of meéeting the demand for the technical ending of the war and the release of the country from the traint of war restrictions and leg- fslation was resorted. There is none of those who have spon- sored or supported the peace by reso- lution plan who considers it preferable to a treaty. Its shortcomings are rec- ed, but the country wants peace ithout string, and being denied it in the usual way it is only proper that it should be attempted in the unusual way. Tt is the interest of the many, not the will of a few, that is being urged in the peace résolution, and while the veto of thé president is anticipated because it interferes with his personal ideas it is not to be forgotten that this method is resorted to simply because he believes the one man policy should be followed in our treaty making even though the constitution says that our treaties shall be made by the president by and with he consent of the se: CARRANZA'S END. Carranza came into Jprominence a revolution in which he par- ticipated and his career ends as the re- sult of a revolution directed against his government. Overthrow and assassina- tion have figured prominently in the case of the last several Mexican presidents and regafdless of whatever efforts Car- ranza may have considered he had taken to avoid such in his own case they were futile. Carranza's stand as a constitutional- Ist was looked upon with great hopes in MeRico. His regime opened with prom- Ise and much was expected of it. Even s government was led into recognizing and as the result prompting recogni- tion on the part of other no séoner was but seemingly this advantage secured than the Carranza government began to how true character for instead’ of cultivating the friendship of those anx- fous and willing to help it it apparently sought to strengthen its support at home by dis 1 open antagonism to the United States disregarding obliga- tions failing to protect the lives and yroperty rights of Americans. Thus re- gardless of whatever good ideas he may Wave had for improving conditions in Mexieo he was as willing to go as far in he other direction a to comnletely up- ™ and in such action there was manifested a stubbornness that was an feature of his career. ow a conflict regarding the Carranza met death, that he was killed in bat. second has it that he was assastinated by his own follower. Those leading the revolution had promised him rotecti he would surrender, having n mind oubtedly the attitudé of this country against the changing of gov- ermmént heads by assassination. Is fof the interest of Obregon and others i such is the fact to have it made clear that the revolutionary forces had noth- ing whatever to do with the killing of Carranza. Thus there is apparently some recognition in Mexico of the need of #tanding for better methods in changing governments, AN EXCELLENT SERVICE. Muéh has been said from first to last regarding the Monroe doctrine. It has of late been brought into increased prominénce by the discussion that has risen concerning it, following ths débatée over .the league of nations. But there ippears to be an excellent service per- formed by Senator Travieso of Porto Rico and at one time temporary govern- or of the island in the tour that he is making of South America speaking in behalf of the doctrine with the idea of allaying the fears of Latin-Americans. Strange as it may seem there are those in the western hemisphere who Thus it| decision is based upon the fact that the association had found surpfising quan- tities of sugar stored in the country and therefore had decided not to become the victims of éxtortion. The department of justice has time and again promised lower prices. It has urged the peéople to do their utmost to hélp bring the réduétion about, but if there are such quantities of sugar be- ing hoarded in this country 4s to maké it poseible to gét thé pricés that are be- ing demanded and that causes the pre- servers to insist that thé present pricé should be cut in two, %t is time for action that will decomplish something in the way ‘of aétual reduction. It i not expéctéd that thé department can do the Impessiblé but it at least should be able to deal with the hoard- ers, or at léast ghow that conditions which it is claimed exist have been mis- represented. HELP RAISE FOOD. An appeal that is certainly most time- ly is that Which has been fssued by Governor Coolidge of Massachusetts °in which he urges the péoplé of that staté to give dus consideration to thé threat- ened food shortage and to do théir ut- most to prévent it by the concerted ac- tion of home gardeners, From thé conditions in that staté he finds that sthe farmérs aré not obstruct- ing production. They aré disposed to do their best but théfé is 4 limit under the handicap of the labor shortage and it is recognizéd that théy cannot accomplish the impossible. It is important therefors that there hould bé hélp given by those who ars in a position to do 6, In order to get the benefit of pupils in ‘the public schools Whose services can be used on the farms Governor Coolidge has appealéd to the legislature for an appropriation of $7,500 to establish camps and t6 supervise and listribute students for such farm em- ployment. New England never raisés all that it tan in order to servé its 6wn require- ments. The normal farm préduction is seriously threatened this year bécause It is next to impossiblé to get help. This Is no différent from last yéar éxcépt that it is worse. It Is impértant théréfore that the acreage that thé farmers can till be suppleménted by évéry possiblé acre that others possessing garden patchés can cultivate. The good work that %as done during the war in thus in- creasing the production of foodstuffs needs to be continued and this time for the purpose of indufing a sufficient sup- ply fof 6ur own réquiréments.

Jamés Abram Garfield was the latest, it is faifly safe to say, the last of the présidents born and bred in log cabins. Notwithstanding that humble start, he was one of the half-dozen scholarly men who have set in the presidential chair. Both the papternal Garfields and the matérnal Ballous, the forbears of this Ohio president, were New FEnglanders and. among the best types of Yankee yeomanty. His struggling, laborious youth and young manhood made Gar- fleld also a representative of that great- ér New England which spread itself over the uppér half of the Middle W When the boy—was only 2, his pioneer father died fighting a forest fire, leaving “four young saplings,” as hé called them, to the care of his wifé, who had to carry on the frontier farm alone and face alone the problems of bringing up her two boys and two girls. With the help of oldér son ifi the field and of her older daughter in the cabin, she raised the food for her little brood and grew and wove and sewed the wool that clothed them. More than that, she was their teacher, mai cultivating their young minds and tralning up théir characters. Among all the widows' sons in the presidency, none owéd more to his mother than the son of Eliza Ballou Garfield, and none be- gan eatlier t6 pay his debt, nor kept on paying it more faithfully and gracefully. A big strong, hardy bayq “Jihn" Gar- fleld had to work his way in the world from the age of 10 or 12. Chopping wood at 25 cents a éord and his board; driving mules on the towpath of a canal of serving as deckhand on the boat itself at _$10 a month and keep, haying, har- vesting, carpentering and teaching school, he put himself through academies and through college.

He used to say that his ideal of a university was a pine log, with Mark Hopkins, the president of Williams, sitting on one end of it and himself at the other end. If he had stayed in New England, Garfield would have been a professor or a preacher. He became both after return- ing home, but every man in Ohio is, or at least used 1o be, a pokitician also. He was principal of his old academy at Hiram and doing more or less lay preaching in the pulpit of the Christian “Campbellite” or church, when he was elected to the state >nate. And he was still serving in those varied capacities when he led a regiment to the front at the outbreak of the Civil War. ‘With his lifelong habit. of study, the green colonel went to war with a sword i one hand and a book on the military art in the other.

After Shiloh he became chief of staff to General Rosecrans, and for a bold expedition that he led through the enemy's country after the battle of Chickamauga he was made Major General. Entering congress at the end of 1863, he became in due time chief of staff to James G. Blaine, the republican leader of the house. He proved himself a bril- liant lieutenant in peace as in war, but he did not develop the qualities of inde- pendent leadership. He was too fair, too moderate a partisan and rather too ami- able, too soft or too considerate to be ablé to plan that part In those swash- buckling days at Washington. Nor did he_ have the strength to -keep himself wholly clear of the shadow of suspicion that fell upon so many public men in a period when fine moral scruples were blunted in the rough combats of pelities. While he was a member of Congress and on a visit to New ork, Lincoln was assassinated, and the event inspired one of Garfield's most memorable and elo- quent speeches. The great city was dazed and trembling from the shock. when a meeting was held in Wall Street for the purpose of calming and steadying the people. Standing on the granite steps of the sub-treasury, where George Wash< ington had taken the oath of office, the tall, broadshoudered, yellow haired, yel- low beareed congressamn from Ohlo lifted the despairing in the bewildered multitude that surged at his feet by ap- pealing to their faith in a great overrul- ing power. Ciouds and darkness are around Him; His palivion is dark waters and thick clouds; justice and jude- ment_are . the habitation of His throne; merey and truth shall z4 before His Face!

Honors were being awarded and ohe Boy Scout was a candidate for a badge for poultry raising. The examiner look~ ed at him and asked: “Can you tell mhe the difference between a lying hen and a laying one?” Every one else in the room smiled ex- cept the little candidate. He was visibly puzzled and wriggled around for a few minutes. Then a smile came to his faee, t60. And he put forth his answer: “The egg, sir.” Four year old Minnie watched with great interest the man at the gaselifie station ae he removed the cushion and filled the gasoline tank of the maechine. After the cushion was put back and she had made herself comfortable, she said: “I know thiat you ride on a horse's baek, but T never knew that I was riding em the automobile’s stomach.”
