The meeting was held to celebrate the 65r.h anniversary of the founding 'of the , Republican party. Senators Wadsworth and Calder of New York also spoke. The senator from Washington, after bktfnlng the president for delay in ratyy?ig the peace treaty, said he , was "the' greatest pro-German in the country," and that ' his theories and ( suggestions 'regarding the' "tie m^c ratizatiy of Industry" had encouraged j -radical labor leaders to attempt to bring about a "dictatorship" of the proletariat," which mfcans "the final overthrow of our Republican form of gov- J ernment." Referrip^ to the president's imputation that certain opponents of this peace treaty and covenant were 1 "pro-Germans and Bolshevists," Mr. Poindcxter entered a vigorous disclaimer, declaring at the same time that thS president "was forced into the *?<?? offninot normnnn Jw* nn Irresist! -w , ble public*. opinion in oppositiori to bis will, anA tried, as late as,19i8, to ptedpitatc a negotiated peace and thus defeat the aims of the Allies." . .1 ?

It naturally rc- f( quires more power to pull a wagon n running with one wheel in a rut and the other making a new tr^ck than it ^ does to pull a wagon with both wheels n in ruts. As the result of the change j the wagon beds will not be so wide; t-, l.ut added length gives them-about the ^ same capacity as heretofore. With G many wagoners the change is ^eing accepted as a matter of course;, hut in the case of others ther'e Is naturally more or lc?s protest against the inno- n ration. No reasonable objection is ^ being offered, for there is no reason- t] ul.'e objection.

Pa should hot have said it, maybe; but he replied that he would put ouf dog in our pasture. That made the neighbor mighty mad and he made a dead-fall trap to kill our dog.
