Despite the obvious facts of ' the situation, there has been much tremulous hope in idealistic quarters that the United States would set an ex - ample for the world by announcing an independent program of disarmament. It is firmly held by many, cheery minds that if the United States would sink its navy and enter the conference armed only with extreme rectitude, the other nations would instantly be smitten with contrition and go and do likewise; The force of example doubtless is a strong one, but the United States is not going to test it that far. If it shouldnt happen to work, it would be rather late to try any other inducements. The fact is, of course, that the influence the United States will evert at the conference proceeds from quite an opposite condition from that visualized dreamers. It proceeds from the by fact that the United Spates is the second naval power in the world and potentially the first. That will be a shocking revelation to the disarmament idealists, but it is aliecessary one. It can be demonstrated in this way; Holland will be represented at those sessions of the conference at which far eastern questions will be discussed, but will not participate in the discussion on the limitation of armaments. Why? Because Holland has no navy. It is in the same position the pacifists would have the United States in at the conference, and if the United States were in that position it would have the same voice and the same influence at an armaments discussion that Holland now has; President Hardings invitation to' the powers to meet at Washington and discuss the twin questions of armaments and Pacific interests got action because the United States could speak with weight and r uthority on both subjects. It is not now likely t destroy its preponderance in the council of nations by giving up its place a3 umpire for that of an exhorter on the side lines. pointed wlfen Provos Popular Newspaper" BY the-pacifis- BLAMING BLANTON. t , ,, t THE SMUDGE First It is By RUBE HARRISON The other morn I wakened, bathed in cold and clammy sweats the dream that Id been dreaming is vivid with me yet. I thought I lived in Venice when the inquisition ruled, and that Id been a dreamer whose ardent faith had cooled, and that my dreadful sentence was to frizzle at the stake, until the burning fagots high my tender flesh did bake. Some men in masks had bound me, and the fire was ablaze, in dun and darksome '.billows dense the smoke rose to my gaze. I struggled with my captors and trembled at my fate, until my I Mary shook me and cried, Wake up its late." Great guns smartin there for a and me I looked around then gave yell, I ing nostril was still that awful smell of burning twigs and fagots that had scared me in my dream, and though I choked and strangled I emitted one long scream. I thought that I was burning and that the odor there was, due to burning At last I gained my r. clothing and the singeing of seemed to come from . and around odor but the clung senses, wide my I on the were opened ground. that burning smudges window and there upon each side, a pile of leaves was smoking they were not a quarter dried. The smoke in murky billows rose in funnels of distress, and wriggled for my window with results that you can guess. I sneezed, I coughed, I obspluttered, to escape its pain I tried, but from its dread ' trusion no mortal man could hide. I wish the folks in cities who must live so very close would think about their neighbors and not hand them such a dose. Its such a foolish action to attempt to burn the leaves when theyre so danp and soggy they would give a brie!; the heaves; besides the city fathers have declared that smoke must go and that the folks who make it had better travel slow. Ferhaps the cops will get eir. when they start a sickly blaze that dwindles in a moment to a murky, dismal haze. All you who love your neighbors and would keep them frorr the heaves, for goodness sake be careful with that soggy pile of The disgusting Blanton deserves suppression, for he Is an unmitigated pest, an incorrigible wastrel of the public time and patience, an irritating, unspeakable and irrepressible nuis ance. He has an obsession that union labor is the of all the countrys troubles, and he has another obsession that' he alone has a divine commission to save the republic. He intrudes his obnoxious personality and perverted views into everything and helps in nothing. No wonder the house by a vote of nearly two to one wanted to throw him out. It was bored and annoyed to extinction. ' But what did Blanton do but take advantage of a grave and inexcusable fault in house proced, ure? He caused an obscene and infamous article to be printed in the Congressional Record. He took advantage of the common privilege to insert it under the "leave-to-prirule of the house.
