A citizen of one of our sister towns was in Walhalla a few days ago, and was commenting upon the town and its citizens. He said. "Walhalla has a number of pretty homes, and the poople take great pride in their out side appearance." Ile had seen the attractive bungalow of lt. A. Mc Leos going up on West Main street. The wonderful improvement in the "old Wiocking place." as he called it.made by S. \. Pitchford, had caught his oyo as he drove along College street, and as he passed the "old Dr. Smith place" (the I. ll. Harrison residence) a group of workmen overhauling that under the direction of the present owner, .lesse C. Neville, attracted Iiis attention. This shows us how tho visitor sees us. Since tho Walhalla-llighlands Washington turnpike is now practi cally assured, let's mike Walhalla i\ point of interest on tue route, and riot a placo to be avoided. lt will tnko Home money, hut our citizens have some of that also, so let us get ready hy the time the road is fin ished.

TUB A, ll, C OF TUB l'A HIS CONVENTION. (OOHti.med from Pago Throe.) IV.-Guiding Principles. Tho covenant formulates tho fol lowing principles for the guidance of league members and administrative agencies: Thal the validity of international engagements for tho maintenance of peace, such as the Monroe doctrino and treaties of arbitration, shall not he affected by the covenant. That war, or threat of war, any where is the concern of the league, since war, like lire, is liable to ?proud: and the mern hors of the league may take action to safeguard thc peace of nations. That making war contrary to tho covenants of the league shall bo deemed an act of war on tho part of the offending nation against all other members of tho league. That maintenance of peaco ro tin ires reduction of armaments to tho lowest point consistent with national safety and tho enforcement of inter national obligations. That submission of any dispute to mediation by tho council can be ef fected by either party thereto by giv ing notice of its existence to the Soc i et a ry (leneral. That each member of the league shall have the right and responsibil ity of calling the attention of the league lo anything that threatens to disturb peace and good understand ing among nations. That publication of the facts of all disputes thal threaten war, and are not sei tied hy arbitration, shall be made, so far as expedient, whether or not unanimous recommendation of an award is reached. That the well-being and develop ment of backward peoples residing in colonies of the Central Km piros, or in territories taken from thom, is a sacred trust, and that they shall ho administered by nations acting as agents or mandataries of the league: a principal consideration in the selec tion of such mandataries hoing lite wishes of ?be peoples in the areas to ho administered. That all positions in connection with the league shall he open equally lo men uno women. V.-The Limitations, TlK! l'a ris covenant does not seek io croate a su pur-go vorn mem out ranking those of member Slates or maintaining armies to over-awe them, but is a treaty in which the members pledge themselves to main tain a condition of international mor ality akin to that maintained by all civilized States within their own borders, lt does not commit, members to obligations they cannot get out of. A nation may withdraw from member ship on two years' notice, If its in ternational and league obligations have been fulfilled, just as a partner may withdraw from a partnership. lt does not place the United States in a position where it can be coerced by the vote of other nations in the council or the assembly, as the power of these bodies is almost wholly ad visory, and evon for this a unani mous vote is required on all vital matters. lt does not involve the calling out of American soldiers in case of local squabbles in the Balkans or else where. While members of the league are obliged to take part in a boycott . gains! a nation thai attacks anothor member contrary to the league cove nant, they do not otherwise agree to join in making war. lt does not place peace above jus tice, but provides for war as a last resort to restrain an aggressive na non: and does not forbid war against a nation that refuses to accept the awards of league tribunals, and in ease of disputes where no decision can be reached by the council or as sembly. lt does not prevent the division or union of existing nations, but keeps open every means of effecting . -banges in national boundaries ex < epl hy external aggression. li does not affect the constitu tional authority of Congress to de clare war, although Congress will he morally hound hy this treaty, as by every other, The council can recom mend war. hut only Congress can leela re war. lt does not destroy the Monroe doctrine On I be con I ra ry, tho Mon roe doctrine for tho first time in his tory is expressly recognized hy rill he m.'milers of the league, and its principle is extended to the world by means of the provision that tho ter ritoriall integrity and political Inde pendence of all tho members shall bo preserved. il does not interfere in tho domes tic affairs of any nation. That also is expressly provided against. The leagllO does not concern itself with i evolutions, rebellions, immigration, tariffs and other internal problems of its members. lt does not exceed the treaty power under tho constitution. The United States has during its history entered into treatios involving all the powers affectod by tho covenant. V I.--^.Membership. Tho covenant provides tho follow ing rulos for membership in ii. league: Charter membership is open to ?he following signatories to tho treaty of ' peaCO: The United States of Amer- j icu, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, British Empire, Cunada, Australia, South Af rica, New Zealand, India, China. | Cuba, Czecho-Slovakia, Ecuador, i France, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Hod jas, Honduras, Italy, Japan. Li beria, Nlcaraugua. Panama, Peru, I Poland, Portugal Rumania, Serbia. Siam, Uruguay; ami to the following ' States, which are invited to accede lo tho covenant: Argontino Republic. Chile, Colombia, Denmark, Nether lands, Norway, Paraguay, Persia, ! Salvador, Spain, Sweden, Switzer land, Venezuela. Other self-governing States, do minions or colonies may be admitted ' to tho league provided they give cf- j fectlvo guarantees" of sincerity and , accept such regulations rogarding i military and naval armaments as may be prescribed by the league. | VII.-I/oration. Tho seal, of tho league shall be at 1 Geneva unless changed by the coun cil. ! VIII.-Approval, Ratification and Amendment. This covenant in its original form was unanimously approvod by repre- i sen ta ti ves of fourteen nations at the peace conference was then referred j to the peoples of the world for cri li- : (ism and suggestion, and revised in the light of this discussion. lt in cludes all the material amendments j requested by the people of the United ' Slates. In its final form it is now referred to the governments of the 1 ' nations for adoption. When ratified I it may be amended by the unanimous vole of the nations represented in the council and a majority of the nations represented In the assembly. No amendments, however, shall I bind any member of the league which j signifies its dissent therefrom, but j in that case the dissenting State i would cease ?o be a member of (bc I league.
