The interesting' fact is 5, c "that thirteen democrats voted with the repub- j: licaris to decline the mandate proposed. Sen f ator Lodge voiced the sentiment of hit party I fr-jwhen he said: 5 S I do not desire to have this country give. V to the world the impression that it does not jjas-aympathize with the Armenian people. They .-are a gallant people. But there are many .; 'Ways to give them aid without involving the Yii United States. In rejecting the Hitchcock amendment ?j which presided for financing the new republic to the extent of $50,000,000, the senate indicated also its unwillingness to assume greater financial burden on account of foreign governments. .This is in accord with the policy suggested by Carter Glass, when secretary of the treasury, who advised against the extension of further credits to Europe, At the San, Remo conference a memorandum j! was prepared with relation to Armenia, the text , j: of which has not been given to the public, al ii; though' the United States was requested in Sj ferentially to take on the responsibility for the immediate future of the people. The reluctance jj- of the great powers of Europe to accept the ij! problems at their doors is one of the singular j aspects of the whole case. Great Britain has jj flatly stated it can go no further in the matter, ijj 'But a way should be found. if1 x - Amenia means an endless, illimitable source jg of trouble to the United States, for it Involves1 J J! a wide vista, of conflicting relationships between ; In: 1 IS !

J people who have been Involved in racial and religious disputes for many centuries. ,It is not between Christian and Moslem alone, but com prises a wonderful tangle of sectarian and tribal differences, too complicated and in many cases too tenuous for us to understand, but very real to the participants. j America will help Armenia better, and Europe, too, by keeping out of their politics, but being ready to give the material assistance that will be needed for a long time to come. And this requires work at home, that the things needed for aid there may be produced. Defining the Rights of States. The supreme court of the United States has just handed down two decisions that are of much importance in demarking the line of state's rights. Most important of these, per haps, has to do with the laws of North Dakota. The high court declines to interfere with the decisions of the state court, holding good a series of statutes enacted, for the government of affairs within the state itself. These laws involve the levying ,of taxes, the carrying on of business undertakings, and generally commit the state to a program usually left to private enter prise and initiative. . Only the announcement of the decision has reached here, and nothing of the line of reason ing employed is available, but it may be con jectured that the court moved in the direction of maintaining the right of self-government for the people of the several states, limited only in such ways as its exercise would affect other states. In North Dakota the paternal efforts set up by 9 f Is? il! ! B it IIS J S the Non-Partisan league bear only on residents t 4 i ec . . a ot ana property wnouy wttnin tne oounaanes ot the state. It is therefore merely following a rule laid down long ago, and invoked many times recently in connection with prohibition statutes, that the people are supreme in the man agement of their own affairs, and' that federal authority will not invade a state where no right of, another state or of the nation as a whole is involved. North Dakotans are left to "stew in their own juice," so far as the socialistic experi ments of the Non-Patisan league are concerned. .The supreme court also decided that the act of the legislature in ratifying an amendment to the federal constitution is sufficient, and a refer endum vote taken later is of no avail one way or the other. This will do away with consider able dispute in Nebraska, where an effort to se cure the reference of the Eighteenth amendment to the electorate is now pending. Collectively, these decisions are of value in that they fix more definitely the things that are left to the disposition of the states. In this re gard they will be of much tervice, although by no means ending the discussion as to where the state ends and the nation begins. tion of the democratic rank and file which stands for morality and, dry land. Any in dignity or rough stuff landed on him would be resented by that element It will be well for the Wilson enthusiasts to remember that Mr. Bryan has at all times a national audience, that he is welcomed into many- pulpits and on many platforms from which he hai won a kind of support iris highly dangerous to antagonize. It will be far better for his enemies at San Francisco to abandon their clubs and say it with flowers liberally sprinkled with chloroform. Planning a Reception for Bryan. Plans for the promotion of the unhappiness of William J. Bryan at San Francisco are being laid by the president's supporters, and they will unquestionably be met with a glad hand by the bibulously inclined who may have seats in the democratic convention. A Washington dispatch says the matter of minimizing the Bryan influence has been gravely discussed by the cabinet in the presence of the president a tribute indeed to the power ful sentiment behind the Nebraskan and the rallying cry of those who seek to impose the White House will on the party is said to be "Get Bryan and get -him quick I" Bat is this "i consummation devoutly to be wished" by those sincerely concerned with the future" of democracy? - Mr. Bryan, right or wrong, with all his maladroitsess, has a powerful hold on the por- Three Generations of Veterans. Another Memorial Day is but a memory, with fifty-five years and two national conflicts between the war which inspired it and the present. And still the survivors of the fight for the Union remain the salt of the earth, strength ened in their old age by the veterans of the war with Spain and the World War. Three genera tions of patriots fathers, son and grandsons! A man must be well along in years a dec ade beyond his prime to have even boyish memories of the great struggle in Lincoln's time, when for four years the nation was split from end to end by a bloody civil war. But even a boy's memories of that "dreadful time may well be cherished. Thousands there are who remember when "father went to war," in the early 60's, who even in their youth sensed the stress of the bitter years before father came back, or alas! failed to come back. The songs of that war have lingered in memory all through the years since. One of them contained these lines: Brave boys are they Gone at their country's call But yet, you know, we cannot forget That many brave boys must fall. It was set to music that went right to the heart, and many a woman's voice quavered when she sang it, her eyes bedewed with anxiety for a loved one at the front. And there was "Tent ing on the Old Camp Ground," another favorite. And "Johnny, Fill Up the Bowl," a rollicking ditty; and "We Are Coming, Father Abraham, One Hundred Thousand Strong." One hun dred thousand! How small the figures seem in comparison with the millions so lately in the trenches of Europe. But after the war was over what sport there was for boys of 10, 12 and 15, parading in father's cap or blouse, or with his rnjjsket or sword or belt or -canteen. In those days every village in the north had its sheepskin band, with gaily painted tenor drums accompanied by shrill fifes. They made the real war . music that stirred the most sluggish blood and still stirs it with such tunes as "The Girl I Left Behind Me." And then came the stories of the war, those absorbingly interesting, personal experi ences of the fathers, uncles and elder brother who were with Grant or Sherman or Sheridan or some other general. Who can tell now their potent influence on the sons and grandsons? r And now the grandsons have great tales to pass on, of the. glory of the Republic main tained beyond the seas; of battle on the ocean, land, and in the air; of horribfe inventions used to destroy life; of sickening Inhumanities and almost incredible Sufferings. The Grand Army passes on it functions to the American Legion. The grandsons succeed the fathers and grand fathers. ' Why Sugar Is So High. As the canning season comes , on apace, housewives look aghast at the empty sugar boxe and wonder how they will ever be able to fill them. Not only that, but they wonder also why it is that sugar costs so much more than it ever did before, and who is responsible for the condition. The inquiry made by the Lusk committee brought into high relief the salient points of the controversy, and traced the blame directly to the doors of the White House.. Apojogists for the administration have tried to set up the alibi that congress failed to provide the needed legis lation that the president might act. This may be good as applied to the situation in Septem ber last, when Mr. Wilson sought to have indefi nitely extended the extraordinary war-time pow ers, granted him, and which congress was averse to doing. I does not, however, apply to the' situation in December, when the McNary bill was tent over to the White House and signed by the executive. Thi law specifically extended the sugar control set up in the Lever act. Although it was fathered by a democrat, it met the most strenuous of opposition from the administration group, yet was .passed in"spite of them. The president, when he signed the McNary bill, added that he would not take advantage of it, because he believed "the peak of high prices had passed," and the natural laws of trade would remedy the situation. More than two weeks after the bill was signed, the Cuban sugar crop could have been obtained for the United States at SVic per pound. It has developed since then that At'torney General Palmer already had told the Louisiana planter that he would not consider 17 eents a pound an unfair price for their raw product Incidentally, a price of 10 cents had been fixed for the refined output of the Nebraska beet sugar mills. And for this monumental official stupidity American homes are paying huge tribute to the sugar speculators. It is easy enough to tell now who is responsible for the high cost of sugar, at any rate. General Grant's Tomb. A Brooklyn paper lays Grant's Tomb is being shamefully neglected by its custodian, the city of New York. There were many, back in the 80's, who bit terly resented having the great general's mortal remains deposited in New York instead of Ar lington, where so many of his comrades lie in their last sleep. It was said then that his fame was to be used as an asset by .New York and his tomb degraded into a show place to gratify the vanity of a rich city. We have always thought Grant's Tomb a great lesson in patriotism for a city that con stantly needs the lesson. But it is a shock to learn that it Is neglected. A Line 0 Type or Two Htw t tha LIm.

"ABOUT pajamas," postscripts a fern, cofr., "my guess is that most males under thirty wear 'em, also a great many in the thirties, and that the old bovs wear o. f. n. s.'s. This would be an interesting subject for the Inquiring Reporter." Sir: Touching the matter of pajamas and night ahirts, old M. Z. Gates of gyracuse has a good reason for wearing the latter. He has a tender throat, and while it ia not bo essential for him to have his throat muffled when he goes to bed. the room beinsr fairly comlortaDie at tnat time, a good, thick muffler In the morning helps. THAT reminds us. Do you suppose George Moore has switched to the o. f. shroud? It is a long, long time since Orelay. WHERE DO YOU GET THAT STUFF, MILO? (From the Dixon Telegraph.) ; MHo Btratton suffered a badly sprained wrist Sunday while throwing aome of that stuff which ha tosses about his store so promiscuously.

Catulle, too, was in evening dress, Dut tne ior mal kind. HOW DEAR TO THIS HEART IS THE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE. Sir: If there's anything better in the line of fodder than old-fashioned strawberry shortcake I don't know what it is, unless it is peach cob bler. The trouble is they usually hand it to you after you filled up with fried chicken and coun try aravy: then the problem is wnere to cut it. A friend bt mine who has a weakness for plum pudding goes to a restaurant famous for Its plum duff, and orders two puddings and a cup of coffee for his Christmas dinner. Might be a good system to work with shortcake. u. u. a. IF we had time to rebuke the Trib forvits pro-British attitude we should cite a typical example of British selfishness and aggressive ness. . We nailed a wren house to a tree, and almost immediately a wren engaged the quar ters. But for two days its life was made mis erable by an , English sparrow, which, unable to get into the apartment, camped on the porch and prevented Jenny from moving in. Finally she abandoned the claim. AMBITION. My little son, who always looks With hunjser on a row of books, And who is meek and mild at play, Confided to me yesterday: "When I'm grown up I mean to be A pirate captain, bold and free. A red silk kerchief round my neck, I'll walk the wet and rolling deck, "With knife between my teeth I'll stand, A pistol grasped in either hand, And make my wicked pirate crew Do anything I want them to. "A hundred chests of conquered gold Shall fill my gallant vessel's hold, And men who sail on any sea Will tremble when they think of me!" IRIS. - A SOCIABLE CUSS. ' (From the Michigan City Dispatch.) ' ' Indianapolis, Ind. Virgil W. Church found a case containing 79 half pints of bonded whisky on his farm near here. He notified the police. Our friend T. T. attributes the high price of Oriental rugs to the fact that so many Turks have been massacred by the Armenians. DISGUSTING TO THBj'60TH DEGREE. (From the Wheatland, la., Gazette.) The senior class play, "All-of-a-Sudden Peggy," drew a big crowd, who enjoyed it with one or two exceptions. A hard thun der storm broke in the first act, and those , on the stage could not speak loud enough to be heard, and then they were more or less annoyed and disturbed by two or three kids who sat in the front row and dragged chairs back and forth across the floor, chiefly to demonstrate to all present that they had no manners nor very little sense. It certainly is disgusting to a degree to either attend a show or take part in one where unruly children are allowed by brainless parents to cut up any kind of capers they may think of, thus robbing the entire audience, of all that they have paid ton the pleasure of seeing and hearing the play itself. It seems like a foolish custom that prohibits any person from taking such a youngster by the ear and leading him out of the hall, instead of being obliged to wait for his parents to do it which never happens. PREXY HUERTA says he is going to try to put Mexico on its feet Bokoo ambish! Did anybody ever see a Mexican on his feet except when lie was running? ' THE DISSOLUTE SAXOPHONE. Sir: The Faculty Women's Club' of the Uni versity of Minnesota has abolished tha saxo phone from student dances, on the ground that It promotes Immorality. x I wish you would ask Doo Evans whether there Is any scientific basis for this action, since it Interferes with my means of livelihood and education.

(From the Burlington, Wis., Free Press.) Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rosenberg were in Janesville and Beloit last Thursday on a tour of inspection of the different depart ment stores there. They report that only one store displayed the progressiveness that characterizes the Wm. Rosenberg store. JAPANESE, we believe, do not like the ab breviation Jap, therefore they would prefer Anglo-Japanese alliance to Anglo-Jap. If ab breviation is insisted on, make it An-Jap, or Jap-An. - . ANOTHER SHOT AT C. D.'S BOOZE. (From the Scientific American.) There is no white pigment In any white flower or in white hair, and probably not in white bark. The white color of the lily is due to the presence of innumerable air bubbles and the same is true of white hair. In order that hair may turn white in a single night it Is not necessary for the orig inal pigment to disappear and for white pigment to develop. It is only necessary 'for a mass of minute air bubbles to be formed in the hair as a result of worry. While this accounts for the physical change, " we are as much at a loss as ever to know why intense grief should develop air bub bles in the hair. "CLARA RAY, the Girl Whose Calf Won an International Championship." Farm and Fireside. Boy, get Mack Sennett on the phone! A GLUTTON FOR PROOF.

Some day some one will vrite a series ot books for the laity on those chronic conditions which last a long time. For Instance, chronic diabetes. This disease lasts a long time. The sufferer can be reasonably comfort able, safe and efficient if he lives rightly. If he lives wrong he will get into trouble all the time. As suming that he is in moderate cir-ci-mstances, lives at home, does not employ a trained nurse, and sees his physician at fixed intervals, he will need some book of instructions for home care, since he will not have a physician at all times to whom he can refer all questions of conduct which come up for decision. Diabetes was chosen for an illus tration because there are good home guides for diabetes. A few other fields are occupied, but there re mains a considerable list of subjects which are not covered. One of these is epilepsy. Epileptics live a long time. Some of them have accomplished great things in spite of their disease. It is commonly accepted that Mahomet, Julius Caesar and Byron were epi leptics during those very, years in which they were doing the work v;hich influenced the world pro foundly. Woods has written a book, "In Spite of Epilepsy," in which the accomplishments of certain great men who were epileptics are re counted. Why should a man surrender a man's place in the affairs -of the world merely because he has an oc casional attack which temporarily incapacitates him? It has been established that epi leptics do better if they get a good deal of exercise in the open air. It is especially necessary that they keep their bowels regular. They should rot be heavy meat eaters. The Journal of the American Med ical Association quotes two Swedish scientists, Bisgaard and Norvig, as having made recently a distinct con tribution to our knowledge of epi lepsy. They found an increase In the amount of ammonia In the urine. A few hours before the attack there was an enormous Increase of ammo iiia in the blood. Most epileptics have some sort of warning several hours before the attack. Some say they feel better after the attack, in spite of their muscle soreness, fa tigue, bruises and bites. For them the attack seems to clear the atmos phere. As a rule, the epileptic is less irritable and belligerent after an attack. Bisgaard and Norvig go. further and try to show that epilepsy is due to a deficiency in the ;arathyroid gland. Located by the side of the thyroid gland and very close to it are certain very small glands called the parathyroids. It was found a long time ago that if these glands were removed th operating on goiter the patients developed convulsions. The name given to convulsions de veloping when the parathyroid glands were removed is tetany. It was found that there were other forms of tetany due likewise to de ficiency of parathyroid. For tha treatment of tetany they give para thyroid internally and sometimes) they graft parathyroid glands under the skin. The; Swedish scientists propose, that epileptics be given parathyroid or have the glands grafted. "The more immediately important part of their finding is. that there is a ecU entiflc basis for the warnings which some epileptics tell us they sense. - For Hiccoughs. Mrs. S. recommends the following for hiccoughs: A large tablespoon of brown sugap moistened by vinegar. Mrs. M. O. N., having seen this rem edy written up, sends in hers: "Take a heaping teaspoon of dry pulver ized sugar. Swallow with one gulp." Mrs. N. rightly attributes the cure not to the therapeutic effects of the sugar, but to the effort to swallow so much fine, dry powder. She has used it successfully and has seen it cure several people, including some newspaper men. No class is harder to cure. Moderately Contagious. Miss H. writes: "Is tuberculosis very contagious? I am taking care of a younger brother who had a hemorrhage this winter. Five tests I Extract Teeth Without Pain Moreover I use only the BEST of materials for all bridge and plate work and all work leaving this office is ready for inspec tion by any state's dental board.

Would removal of bad teeth restore health and flesh?" REPLY. 1. Bad teeth may be a cause ot heart trouble, also loss of weight ?. When bad teeth are the cause of heart trouble, the chances are 89 out of 1D0 that the damage was done when the case came under observa tion and that removal of the teeth, while it may help, will not cure. Per sons with bad teeth which' have caused underweight generally fatten up and feel better when their teth are put in order or pulled. Does Look That Way.
