The Orange County Plain Dealer An Independent Newspaper, Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday R. W. ERNEST, Manager PAUL V. HESTER, Editor Subscription rate—In No. Orange-co: Per yr. $2; six months $1.25 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second-class matter PRESIDENT SPIKING GUNS OF PACT FOES President Harding has given an answer to senate critics of one phase or the socalled Four-power Treaty—that which bore upon the relations between this treaty and the Lansing-Ishli agreement, effected between the United States and Japan in the administration of President Wilson. The President asserts that the Nine-power Treaty relating to China completely supercedes the Lansing-Ishli agreement. The Four-power Treaty, President Harding points out, "does not refer to China, and hence does not directly bear upon the Lansing-Ishli notes, which related exclusively to China." Mr. Harding added that the Four-power Treaty, in his opinion, is "and essential part of the plan to create conditions in the Far East at once favorable to the policies we have long advocated and to an enduring peace." The President, in substance, tells the senate critics who have been brandishing his Lansing-Ishli agreement as being inconsistent with the Four-power pact and capable of neutralizing it, that they are mistaken—that there is no conflict between the agreement and the treaty, and that the Lansing-Ishli agreement is dissolved into the Nine-power Treaty and passes out of existence as a separate and distinct compact. The spectacle in the senate of opponents of the arms conference treaties raising every possible captious objection to their ratification and offering no feasible constructive proposals in place of them, is not pleasing or reassuring to the country. It is to be hoped that their tactics will fail and that ratification will be effected ere long. IF TREATIES FAIL NOW, WHAT HOPE? Suppose the opponents, in the senate, of the four-power and other treaties formulated by the arms conference should succeed in defeating them. DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Dull rogues affect the politician's part, And learn to nod, and smile, and shrug with art; Who nothing has to lose, the war bewails; And he, who nothing pays, at taxes rails. Congreve. Opportunity often plays 'possum when you pass by. A poor man's fun has more edge on it than a rich man's. World history in future should not be written in human blood. Europe should take its dogs of war off a diet of human flesh and blood. A movement to disarm the "ir-reconcilables" in the Senate is in order. A fleshy woman gets much consolation in seeing another woman fleshler still. A slanderous lie may be nailed down ever so tight, but it usually warps itself out. Will H.

And wouldn't one now? IF TREATIES FAIL NOW, WHAT HOPE? Suppose the opponents, in the senate, of the four-power and other treaties formulated by the arms conference should succeed in defeating ratification of those compacts—what then? Would the senate minority encompassing such defeat go before the American people and the world with pride in this achievement? Would it be heralded over this land and overseas as bearing hope of peace and security to the world? It is very pertinent to contemplate this phase of the treaty situation—what will be the world's status as to peace assurances, should these compacts be rejected by the United States Senate? Such a culmination, following the rejection by the senate, of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations covenant, would create feelings of despair throughout this and other lands. Disappointment would be accompanied by fears. And fears would breed a frenzy for building up great national armaments. This nation and other nations would be forced into a mad race for leadership in military power. Only by a miracle could another world war be averted, if such conditions ensued.

Judge Landis has nothing to do now only to go out and see that baseball is played O.K. How a lot of enthusiasts envy him! Quack politicians have found that women are not such geese, as voters, as they—the quacks—supposed and hoped they would be. Offering no constructive program. They are proposing nothing to take the place of these treaties. Should they succeed, the prospects which would confront the world would be starling indeed.

"You recover umbrellas?" he asked. "Certainly," replied the clerk. "How much?" the man asked. "One dollar," replied the clerk. "All right, here's a dollar; recover mine." said the man. "But where's your umbrella?" demanded the clerk. "That's for you to find out. Some body walked away with it and want you to recover it for me," snapped the man. SCISSORED. Town in Review: "In speaking of his wife, an Anaheim man recently said: "She is getting so fat I am afraid she will lose her job. She has an awful appetite. She eats herself out of every job I get her. I never have a minute to myself. It keeps me busy looking for work for her. One of us has got to work and it might as well be her. She has one bad fault. She can't control her temper. If I am not at the place where she works every Saturday to collect her salary she gets awful mad. Sometimes I am compelled to get up out of a sound sleep on a Saturday afternoon and call a taxi just to go up and collect her salary. I tell you married life ain't what it is cracked up to be. We had an awful fight last week over her salary. She was 25 cents short. She drew a quarter during the week and did not tell me about it. I hate to have anyone try to cheat me." B. B. N. Who remembers 'way back when we kids went to Punch and Judy shows. And wouldn't you like to see one now? Dear Sir: What is worse than to Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying MR. BRYAN FOR THE SENATE Baltimore Sun "I would rather be right than be President!" was the consolation purse which we believe Mr. Clay offered to himself when he found there was no open door to the White House for him. Mr. Bryan, if Washington rumors be true, is willing to be Senator if he cannot be President. There may be a considerable difference between being a Senator and being right, but still, even with the mixed society which the Senate now represents, it is a forum which has its compensations and pleasures. It is rarely a stepping stone into the executive chair of the nation, but it provides publicity for the ambitious, and to a man of Mr. Bryan's oratorical resources it would offer daily and delightful opportunities for holding the center of the stage. If the Commoner puts Senator Trammell out of business, Florida will at least have the distinction of occupying a large place on the political map. And some of the elder statettsmen in the Senate may find things not quite so comfortable for them as they have been accustomed to find them in the past. Village Gossip Hey, fellers!

This does not mean that there is to be a new Constitution written. It simply means that every so often there is published a reprint of the Constitution of the United States together with citations of cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, construing the provisions of the Constitution and the several amendments. This is a very valuable document, not only to the legal profession, but to the members of Congress, newspapers, students of our government, etc. The last such reprint was made in 1913. Since then there have been several amendments to the Constitution and a great many Supreme Court decisions interpreting the Constitution and amendments. By virtue of a resolution passed by Congress, this compilation is to be brought down to date and a new reprint issued. By Sargum Sprout Cypress, March 11. A report from Harrisburg, Pa., by the state board of animal industry is to the effect that 11 dairy cows, passed the stage of usefulness were inoculated with a serum extracted from glands of young sows; the old cows become young and frisky and started all over on a new and useful life. No use discarding any old thing these days, just shoot it full of monkey gland serum or sow serum and watch results. If old Dobbin is run down at the heels or old Bossy is getting sway-backed and lost her 'pep' just a little shot of serum and Old Dobbin will be a colt again and Old Bossa heifer. Gosh this is getting to be a ding-busted fine old world to live in, everything can be renewed even to the mortgage on the farm.

That's correct, Alonzo, if Mother Eve had been as wise as some of her daughters, she would have made a fool out of that serpent. "What anguish can be greater than to know One you would shield is bleeding from your blow." WE ASK YOU! One of the preachers gave a sermon on the question: "Why do women wear short skirts?" The man in the street exclaimed: "Why do women wear anything?" The average person will give both questions up and the cynic will inquire: "Do they?"—Los Angeles Times. A woman can be a thing of beauty without being a joy forever. Again today our last line is for the ladies: "They talk about a woman's sphere, as though it had a limit—There's not a place in earth or heaven, There's not a task to mankind given, There's not a blessing or a woe, There's not a whispered yes or no, There's not a life or birth That has a feather's weight of worth Without a woman in it;" Plain Dealer for Good Job Printing. IT COSTS NO MORE Then you will want to compete in the Newport Harbor model boat building contest just launched by the Newport Beach C. of C. Yessir, and if you build the best model or the best sailing craft, you will receive a hand-some silver cup as an evidence of your workmanship. Decision to anaugurate the model boat building race was reached at the annual meeting of the Newport Beach C. of C. as a move to encourage interest in maritime affairs by Young America. All manual training students of both high schools and junior high schools in Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties will be invited to participate, and it is expected several dozens of miniature craft will be assembled at Orange county's harbor later in the spring for try-outs and awarding of prizes. The contest is planned to continue for six to eight weeks to allow plenty of time for completion of the boats. A 20-inch sailing model, blue-prints of which are now being made, will be constructed in this year's contest. Entry blanks, rules of the contest, and posters are now being prepared and will be forwarded to the various schools in the near future. Details of the contest are in the hands of a special committee consisting of Wayne Goble of Santa Ana, A. H. Wilson and Prof. H. O. Ensign of Newport Beach. Witman, eyesight specialist.

KUHLMAN, Agent Anaheim, Calif. Telephones: Office 217, Residence 227J NEW YORK, Mar. 3—St. Simeon’s Episcopal church which was consecrated the other day is one of the most interesting of the modern churches in the city in the story of its construction. It was started as a mission 21 years ago, and the first services were held in a stable, the altar standing where the manger had been. For many years this stable served as the place of worship or the members, until in 1906, the construction of the new building was begun. It is now one of the handsomest Gothic structures in the northeastern section of the city. Dr. George Goubeaud health board veterinary in one borough of the city, has discovered a fine time-saving device. It is a vivid orange coat of paint for his auto. Anyone seeing the staid doctor on a tour of his district would put him down for a circus press-agent, or at the mildest, a suddenly popular movie star. But his reason for the conspicuous hue is a plain one of business. “People can’t mistake my car,” he explains, “and so they stop me on the street. In this way I avoid the trouble of being called back to a section I have just left. I can clean up a neighborhood in one trip since I had this car painted and I never could do it before.” Witman, eyesight specialist. Own Your Own Home By Harry H. Culver (State Chairman Own Your Own Home, California Real Estate Ass'n.) The home is the most sacred institution in the world. The time to instill the love of home is in childhood—the memories of those happy days at home guide and direct the character through life. Are you rearing your family in a home of your own—where surroundings and associations will develop the best there is in your children? If not—now is the time to start. Plan a definite saving each day, each week, with which to buy your home—so you can take your first step in home ownership—the balance can be paid as easily as rent and you have something to show for your efforts. Let your banker, your employer, or a realtor advise you and tell you how you can own your home. The big thing is to get started—to economize on your pleasures enough to make the first payment. After that it will come easy. If it's from Witman's it's good.
