' hnt the Most of the classical dances remind one of trying to get into a union suit in an upper berth. A hotel is a place where men 'tick about things that they are afraid :,o kick about at home. Just because some people aic shocking is* really no reason, why they should be termed live wires. Nothing seems to he . impossible thefje days—but did you ever try to strike a match on a cake pf soap! A man is .made of dust, and when he soaks himself in the brands- now being turned out, his name is mud. Kissing a girl,, says a man who knows, is like opening a bottle - of olives—if you can get one, the rest come easy. According to the Democrats, the Mellon plan of tax reductions will la a melon-cutting ft.-i the ‘Jiig inebne tax payers. (CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE) All of this discussion about foui- wheel brakes sugge.-ts to us that "hey might be a gnoj thing for the legislature. It’s funny that it hasn’t enurred to members of our legislator • and Congress that one way to reduc'’ taxes is to curb expenditures. A Barnwell business man said the other day that soni • people seem to think that if they pay up by time Germany • does it will Ik* all right. I. *7 ENTER THE PERMANENT COIJRT That the United.

COOPERATE WITH THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS, WITHOUT v FULL MEMBERSHIP AT PRESENT That without becoming a member of the League of Nations as at -present constituted, the United States Government should extend Its present cooperation with ihe^^eacww and propose participation In the work of Its Assembly and Codacil under the following conditions and reservations: ^ " ~ Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine L The United States accents the League of Nations as an instrument _ of mutual counsel, but U will assume no obligation to Interfere with political questions of policy or internal administration of any foreign state. - -i In uniting Its efforts with those of other States for the preser vation of peace and the promotion of the common welfarerTllW United States Instate upon the safeguarding of the Monroe Doc- ; trine and doe^ not abandon its traditional attitude concerning American independence of the Old World an^l does not consent to kub'mit Its tong established policy concerning questions regarded by it as purely American to the recommendation or decision of other Powers. No Military or Economic Force 1. That the only kind of compulsion which natlons^can freely engage to apply to each other in the name of Peace is that which arises ’/> from conference, from moral Judgment, from full publicity, and from the power of public opinion" The United States would assume no obligations under Article X In its present form, or under Article XVI In its present form In the Covenant, or In Its amended form as now proposed, unless In any particular case Congress has authorized such action. The United §tates proposes that,Articles X and XVI be either dropped altogether or so amended and changed as to eliminate any suggestion of a general agreement to use coert ion for obtain ing conformity to the pledges of the Covenant. No Obligations Under Versailles Treaty S. That the United .States will accept no responsibilities under the Treaty of Versailles -unless in any particular case Congress trxs • .. authorized such action, — League Open to All Nations t Tfre United States Government proposes that Article I of the Cove- • 4- han't be'construed and applied, or, if necessary, redrafted, so that y admission to the League shall be assured to any self-governing State, that wishes io join and that receives the favorable vote of two-thirds of the Assembly. ■ ■ ■ *, * , ,*• | Development of International Law 5. As a condition of Its participation in the work and-counsels of the f League, the.United States asks that the Assembly and Council con- ■% sent—or obtain authority—to begin collaboration for the revision *and development of’ international law, employing for this purpose . the aid of a commission of jurists. This Commission would be directed to formulate anew existing rules of the Jaw of nations, to reconcile divergent opinions, to consider points hitherto inade-. quately provided for but vital to the maintenance of international iustice, and in general -to define the social rights” and duties of - 'States. The recommendations of the'Commission .would he pre- - Rented from time to time, in proper form for consideration, to the Assembly as to A Tecom'mending if not a law-making body. .

JDAVIS LEARNED HAND The People is very glad indeed to kYiow that every member of th<i Barnwell County delegatth+n to tht* General Assembly fs opposed to the forty or sixty million' dollar bond issue that is being proposer! by cer tain members "of that august body. The latest report is that Governor McLeod, who was opposed to th sixty million (hollar bond issue, faydrs one of forty, millions. We are'sorry that he'has thrown his support to this measure. We do,not feel, that the financial condition of the. people of-South Carolmaat this time is such as would \yafrant saddling such a debt upon the tax-payers, nor doos the traffic in the State, except in of the most densely populated wr demand such highway®. As such sections alimfclv have a \v i v vood system of hard-surfaced and top f : soil roads, why this insistent demand?
