CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING DEC. 4th, 1920 11,050 THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. In his message to congress at the opefing of the final session in his ad- ministration it was-antitipated that he| vould have something to say relative to| (he question of taxation, that he would impress uvon the two houses the im- pbriance of keeping before them the needs of the nations callng for early acuen and the conditions that call for the e¢xercise of economy in the spend- mng of the nation's money. These he did lay stress upon along With other recommendations such as the creaion of a budget system, and as if he had n mind the fact that he had prevented such @ system from being in eitect 35/ the present time he urged that it be a “workable” system. Once again has he put question of giving independence Fhilippines, a proposition Which theroughly understood the country willl it becomes apparent| v have reached the point where can safely be set adrift without action being a menace to their| welfare.

But therp is where 4 least appear to have slipped up. ‘They insisted upon having their own Way gor refusing to stay after having previausly accepted the covenant, hook, baif and sinkear. £ v e Such propésitions as Argentina made were entirely proper. They should have been allowed to follow their Proper course, howevef, instead of trying to force the other nations to accept some- thing which they had a right to 6ppose and on the admission’ of new members it must have been known in advamce that France was dead set against the entranca of Germany at the présent time. Argentina doesn’t admit that it showld show any consideration for the opinions of the other members and that attitude it is indicated what can be expected in the way of similar ac- wpport is given to the Argentiné ef- orts. L CHECKING THE SPEEDSTERS At least one New York judge has come to the conclusion that past prac- tces in the punishment of violaters of (he speed laws is of little or no avail n correcting the abuse and in reduc- .g the dangers in the streeis. %Uhis is iosed when Magistrate House in the ailic court sentenced to ten days in| Jail a young man who had pleaded guil- ty to driving his car at a rate averaging| 51 miles an hour, and: after declaring! ‘hat the prisoner should not be aiowed to operate a car in that eity Or else- where “Bave Warning to the effect that uenceforth -those found guilty of going!| faster than 35 miles an, hour would be shown no mercy by the court. As was indicated from the very be- ginning, these who have been given & fine, wheiher large ®r smafl, have simp-| ly regarded it as & lidens€ for exceeding, the speed Hmit. Those Wwho have-had the mouey to pay have regarded Speed- believed that therg was no need of re- 'specting the law. They have viewed it in the light of indulging in a pleasure for which they were wiliing to pay ev- ery time they hapuened, to get caught,| without being inclined to curb their| dangerous practice. The need for taking the' stand which the New York magistrate has is! nothing new. It has long prevailed and| it Is because there has been no adher- ence to a determination to put an end} to such violations, that many neediéss| deaths have been caused in the streets of the big eity. The many auto fatal ties are awakening the authorities of New York to the need of greater atten- tion to respect for traffic regulations and general automobile laws.

That there, should be no indorsement of the bohus is not surprising, and ‘the fdot that he| made no reference to the peace treaty! or the league of nations indicates thatl Jhe Wil not endeavor to bring up these| matters in this s on. That he should urge 'upen congress| attention to the fact that “This is the time of all others when democracy should prove its purity and its spiritual power to prevail” he justified by the claim ‘that democracy is beingeput to! its final test and he would have the country respond to its opportanity for leadership at this time inspired by Lin-! coln's words, “Let us have faith that! right makes might and in that faith let! us dare to do our duty as we unders stand it” That is tH® faith that inspired Wim and the one he urges upon the country| in meeting domestic and external coa. ditions. HIGH HEELS. Efforts have been made to set Xunh! the dangers of the high heels on wo-{ men’'s shoes from the’ stundpoint of health. The osteopathic conention in Massachusetts heard from one physi-| clan that they are a crime, that they| not only mean discomfort but they. are actually injurious _and that a law should be passed making it unlawful to make and wear heels which are more than an| ineh and a half high. It is probable that many individuals| have been told much the same thing! about the danger to health of high heeis| and that they aggravate it they do not! sause many of the il with which hu-| ~manily finds itself burdened. But it is| invariably the case that warnings do| little or mo good. { There will b, those who do not believe that high heels have| iny detrimental effect because none has been directly experienced therefrom. | Othery will remember high heels| “éem quite’ comfortable to them and| bring to mind the fact ti t so-and-sol wears high heels and if there wus! any halin from them she would be sire| to show it or tell about it, while others| will ses the reasonabieness of the op-| position but will not be inclined to give! them up because they are so pretty, The fact of the matter i, however, that just as long as it is the style to have high heeled shoes, those who are slaves to fashion rather than sedkers after health and comfort will continue to wear high heels if it kil i i well knogn that “you might as well be dead as‘out of fashion,” and there are those So unreasonable as to .main- tain that the physiclans ought not to make such a fuss about high heels since it doesn'tdo them zny harm how much| others wear them. Doctors realize that to a large degree their responsibility ends in giving ad- vice. 1f those who ‘can be helped by it refuse to follow it the fault rests with them. The appeal to common sense is what has been made in con- nection with high heels and it rests with those who are being injured by them or likely to be to take it or leave it, It is useless to put any hope in the prepesal that there be logisiation re- garding such a matter. i ARGENTINE'S ACTION, That all is not going to bo smooth safling in connection with the league of nations has already been indicated by the action of the Argentina delegates in withdrawing from the assembly. Such action does not of course take that country out of the league and it was not in fact even notice to the effeot that Argentina was going to withdraw from the league v It 4id indicate something of the ex- perlences that are llkely to be encoun- tered by the many natlons making up the league when Instead of ablding by the provisions of the league In dealing with® the questions brought up fn the assembly there ls an Inslstence that there be favorablo action on certain presenting matters S Will st samain or the delegates When {in histe it will now have a Chance to 1epeat in leisure. \ b highways those who insist upon brealk-| 3 the laws and endangering life de- ve to Teceive penalties which will ause them to show the proper respect for the rights of others. * The traffic court's attitude in impes-i ng jail sentences is one that will be} iewed with much’ difference concern than a fine of a few dollars.

In the recent election’ it was clearly indicated that the Greeks were desirous for tme return of Constantine. That, was what was intended by the defeat of Venizelos and the casting asife of his| pol but Greece has even gome fur.| ther and expressed itself elearly upon| that point n mugh the same mauner as might be expected of an independent nation. in doinz so, however, theré has been open discezard for the attitude of the allied powers and the -disclosure by them in advance as to what can be ex- rected from them “when Constantine does return. That the Greeks had = right to A0 as they Ilease cannot bn questionel. It is simply ‘& matter of volicy. Greece fully understands what dependence it places upon the larger na- tions of Europe in the way of militaty and financial suppert. The'allies have, vlainly tell Gremce that Ney have mo confidence in Constantre and that the continuance of favers shown the coun- try need ‘a0t be expected if it calls him lack to tha throme, from which the al- lies were instrumental in having him deposed. g Having made their decision in the face of the expressed attitude of the powers it is to be suprosed thit they. are prepared to meet the simation.

The methods used by William Penn occupying his grant in America were in strong contrast with those practiced by other landholders who came from lng- land. The general practice was to en- tirely ignore the Indian ownership when a grant in this couniry wds to be taken BN- priated what was granted to them by charter rights but they wouild grab every- kepl the early colomsts in a continuous turmoil with the indians. . When Willlam Ferz arrived in America to occupy the land wr.ch had been allow- ed him by-the English king in return for a debt, he was just wise enough to see that the first Tning necessary for him to do was to conciliste lhe Indiams in the neighborhood and make tham his friends, and in consequence of this the Penn col- ony was the least disturbed of any other in America. On the last day of August, 1682, the good ship Welcome left England with William Penn and about one hundred other passengers on board. They reached this country on the 7th of November and after establishing themsclves along the in doing-to showed evecy comsideration for the redmen of the vicinity to win at least their respect if not their favor, One of Penn's fixed purposes was to allow’no land to be occupied until the consent of the Indians had been secured The emigrants who had come and those who were coming land, and so. at noon of an uncertain day, fixed by some as in November, 1682, and by others as the 23d of June, 1683, Peam met the lead- ing chiefs beneath tre braaches of an old | elm tree at Shackamaxon, much used for Indian council, the name Shackamaxon meaning in the langvage of the tribe “the place of kings." It is stated that then and there Penn bought Indian lands, and that with the transfer went certain verbal agreements. ! About two months er Penn wrote: “When the purchafe was agreed great promises passed between us of Kindness | and good neightorhcod, and that the Fng- lish and Indians must live ‘n love as long as the sun gave light” A century later a famous artist, Ben. jamin West, painted a pictire that repre- sented the affair as a formal function. instead of as an ordinary business trans action. The unique feature of the inci dent is that the agreement made that day was faithfully kept fo;' sixty years. Vol- taire pronounces Pern’s treaty “the only league between the aborigines and the Christians which was never sworn to and never broken. The great elm at Shackamason was hlown down in 1810, and today a hand- some monument marks its site containing the words: “Treaty grouad of Wiliam Penn and the Indian Nation, 1682. Up- broken Faith.” The treaty was probably made with the Lenni Lenape or Dela- | ware tribes and some of the Susquehannd Indians. Tradition has it that Penn went to the A Dbelt of wampum has come from the Penn family which, it_is claimed, was presented to the propriétor on that ecca- sion. The“great Indian chief, Tamanend or Tammany, is said to have been chief spokesman on this cceasion, and there are papers extant in which his dress and the emblems he wore are accurately described. In his letter of Aug. 16, 1683, to the Society of Free Traders, Penn, wriling from Philadelphia about the Indians, whose habits and language e had been studying closely in the course of a tour among them, he describas minutely the corduct of the Indian council.. “I have hag occasion 1d be in council with them upon treaties for land and to adjust the terms of, trade.” He further wrote, although not naming the location, but which fits in every wa¥ ‘he Shackamaxon meeting: “Every king he, said, “I guess thats the way with most folks, they're good to you the first time they see you” Moonshine? A well known resident was informed one évening recently by eme of his er- ployes that there was a big fire a few miles to the east the refl n of which could be plainly seen over the top of the adjacent hill. Anxious to know what it was and to see it the man hus- tled in that direction in his machine. He returned later with the explana- tion that what the employe had thought was a big fire was nothing but the moon, coming up.

Drawlng Out-of-Work Pay—Returns from triGe unions show that at the end of October unemployment among their} members had risen from 2.2 per cent. to 5.3 in the month. According to the La- bor Gazeite, the number of people Who claimed out-of-work benefiy under the in surance act and the donation scheme fo s ex-service men rose from 374000 fo about 500,000. In addition, larger num bers of work-people in many of the prin cipal industries were on short time. time. . Pienty of Holly—Unless the contrells ers of the market forbid, there should be no shortage of well-berried holly this Christmas. Bushes in Kent that for the Bast two or three years have been, as the children complained, ‘“nothing but prickles,” are today loaded thickly with berries, and it is to be hoped there will be no obstacle to JU Wwidespread and cheap distribution. Will It Oust Bridge?—A new occupa- tion has arisen, that of teaching society auction piquet, the new game for two players which is capturing the fancy of card players, wWho complain that they know all that there ig to be known about auetion bridge. Enthusiasts who are bitten with auction piquet_say that just as nobody who now plays auction bridge ever wants to go back to bridge or whist, so nebody who once tries auc- tion piquet will ever revert to the par- ent game. And experlence is daily prov- ing that many who have taken up anc- tion piquet prefer it to auction bridge. Park Squatters:—In the house of lords, Lord Gainford will call atten- tion to the continued use of temporary buildings in the London parks by the staffs of government departments, and will move that they be vacated, and the buildings dismantled before June next. At the beginning of the war there were 18,000 persons engaged in gov- ernment ‘departments. .When the arm- istice was signed this number increas- ed to 100,000. Since then it has beer brought down to 65,000, and of these 16,000 are in temporary buildings. Where does Lord ‘Gainford propose to house them when these buildings are demolished ? A New Income Raiser:—An’ ex-ser- vice man has hit upon a new means of livelihood. He attends a theatre with a bundle of camp-stools, and of- fers temporary seats to members of the quesues awaiting admission to the pit and gallery. His charges vary ac- cording to time, from a shilling to the person who turns up at four or five o'clock+for the evening performance, to a sixpence or threepence for an hour or haif-hour.

Penn not only made promises to the Indians but kept them, and mot only in the acquiring of land, bit Penn ‘insist- ed that wrong-doers to the Indians should be treated as though ‘thelr crimes had been directed against fellow settlers, and that Indian criminals should bz pro- ceeded against before magistrates as though they were whites.
