WORLD'S YOUNGEST
BOOTLEGGER FOUND
DAVENPORT. IOWA. March. 7
The world's youngest bootlegger ha
been found. Ht is Marion Anne;
five years old.
Gladys Berry, six-year-old girl play
mate of the Abney boy, came hoi
yesterday under the influence of 1
quor and, lust like the grownups,
endeavored to protect the source o
supply when confronted by her par
ents. She said she secured the drinks'
at a jewelry shop in the neighbor
hood.
D. T. Jones, the proprietor ef ths
shop, was arrested on information
filed by the girl's father. In court
today Marion Abney was the star
witness and his testimony cleared the
jeweler. "I gave Glayds two glasses
of wine when mama was away and
she drank it all," testified the five-year-old
lad.

In this connection attention is called
to the fact that while Miss Sherman re
signed to take another appointment and
not by reason of lack of funds for carry

(By H. K. C. Bryant.)
WASHINGTON, March 7. Much!
has been said about Warren G. Harding,
and the last year since March 4, 1121.
I'rcst associations and speeinl writers!
have riven that hide of tho story. Mr j
llaruiiig is interesting because he is'
President of the United States.
There is another man here who has i
spent a year full of interest to tho Amer 1

the wnite house. That is Wowdrow Wii-
son, the Lame Lion of 8 street. Keen of!
mind, frail limbed and sturdy hearted, I
the ex-l'resident han gradually restored

he is gone. .
Hearts Warm. to Wilson.
Tho year ended March 4 has brought
many changt s in the hearts of tho people1
of the people of the United totutcs. I
Agitated by the great world war,- and
upset by its backwash, million of Amer

,U,W-
If he has had doubts or apprehensions'
about the new government regime no one !
has heard n word from hm fin to imli-:
cato it. He has neither praised nor criti
cised. There have been times that a sin
glo utterance from him would have
changed tho attitude of scores of public
men, but he has not given voice to his
sentiments. It is undeistood here tha
he wishes Mr. Harding well, and sincere
ly hopes that something better than the
league of nations may be evolved from
the chaotic state of affairs brought about
by the failure of the ratification of the
ersailles treaty. There is no lurking
desire for revenge or retaliation iu Mr.
Wilson 'b heart.
People Pay Him Tribute.
Every time Mr. Wilson moves anionc
the people of Washington admirers pa.,
him tribute. There is nothing noisy,
about the demonstration for him, but one
can seo in the behavior of the crowds'
that hunt him whenever they hear he is;
abroad that he is a great idol. At the i
tlnors tn thi. thpfitern he enter.. nnY'mi.!
throngs await him. Men and
women1
hungry because of no work stand by and r;1S(. 0f .,nv ,'out roversv arising or in

As the days go by tho crowds liicrcasi i
and the real worshippers swell their num
bers. The year has given Mr. Wilson strong
er legs, a ruddier complexion, and a clear
er eye. The blow that interfered with the
hist months of his -official career in tho
white howe. almost killed him
but his i
determination have restored liim to a i
large extent. His intimate friends assert I
j that under no circumstances could he be;
induced to accept political jobs, but his
record, his transcendent ability, his pure j
heart and hi supcib intellect will maku,
him a leader among democrats. j

Kepublican partisans fear the Wilson
influence. They realize that he has re
gained about all he lost during the war.
Strange things happen. One of the
severe critics of Mr. Wilson, because of
Ids honorable but feeble efforts after he
was stricken to steer the ship of State,
was the late Senator Penrose. The able
leader of the republican party said some
thing to the effect that the white lion
should not be a hospital. A year later

Termination of Anglo-Japanese
Alliance In The Pacific Is Main
Purpose of Four Power Treaty
(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. March 8.
Termination of the Anglo-Japanese
alliance and mibstitution of a politi
cal system actuated by peace in the
Pacific was described in the Senate
today by Senator Lodge, of Mas
sachusetts, the Republican leader,
And a member of the American arms
delegation, as the "main purpose"
of the four power Pacific treaty.
The Anglo-Japanese arrangement
Senator Lodge declared, was regard
ed by the delegation as "the most
dangerous elf men t" in this Govern
ment's relations with the Far East.
He arstrted that if the four power
pact with its clause abrogating the
a'.liance failed, the naval limitation
agreement also would be endanger
ed, resulting in "failure of the con
ference." No entangling commitment, are con
tained in the treat-, he assiited, and no
provision.- contrary to American tradi
tions. He characterized it as "only an
experiment," but added that it was one
that must succeed if the United tjtates isi
to make good of its professed desire to
take the lead in guiding the world to
ward ponce.
Declaring he desired to "tell
Senate with entire frankness," tin
tives which actuated the American
the
in i
dole
gat ion, Mr. Lodge said :
"For a month and more before tin
conference met the American delegation
was in session almost every day. We
tried to determine and' mark out the
i course which the American delegation.
wi'h whom rested the responsibility ot
'lirinting all the work of the conference.
should follow. Tb delegation was in
complete accord as to the policies to be
pursued. The shadow of polities or of
personal feeling never rested for a mo
ment upon our deliberations.
"We were clearly of opinion that
there lay before us three great objei lives,
three dominant purposes to be attained.
One was the termination of the Anglo
Japanese alliance. The next, was an a
greeinent between the five principal Al
lied and Associated Towers seated at the
table for a reduction, of naval arma
ments. The third was to accomplish all
that was possible to aid china in such
ways us to help her in the establishment
of a free and independent government
and particularly to Hecure the rest m a
tion of tho gnat province of Ninntiiug
to the Chinese- empire to which it ii;;hl
"ully belonged.
"We succeeded before the close of t he
i 'Tence in attaining; all tins- oh
je. . Treaty now before s terminates
the An,,' .'a panose alliance. Personally
I believe i at it involves the I'nitisl
I -'Hies in no oiiiigation except m meet
wit, ti e other sienatories and consult in
jn as (0 ,, cr(.;lt importance of this
single achievement. It is sufficient
to
say that in my judgment the Anglo.
Japanesr alliance wm the most dangei
ous element in our relations with the
Far Last and with the Pacific.
Wars come from suspicions which de-
velop
into hatreds and hatreds which de-

A nglo-.Iajiaiiese
alliance cnurvd u grow ing feeling of so- -
piciou not only in the I'nited States but
in Canada. On the otle r side it tended
to give a background to .Japan, which
encouraged the war spirit and large
preparations lioth by land ami sea for
future conflicts. It immobilized Kng-
land and prevented the exercise of In r in-
1 fliienee in the east for the cause of pence,
I and pence is distinctly in her inte rest in
' that great region. That menace to
peace is removed by tin four power

WASHINGTON. Mar-h s. After

has evolved a soldiers' bonus bill on
which it apparently intends to stand pat.
Ih-.pite seine criticism of the measure

WASHINGTON'. March 8. - A brier
of many novel and unusual features has
fi',1 iu tl,u Supreme Court by the
,'ov,'ra"'"t "' the Chid labor law eases,
arut on ,vlli,h wa3 iegun llUe yester.
day. in it Solicitor General Bcek
quotes Shakespeare at length in support
of the contention that "unless the peo
ple inomseives awaken to the fact that
; '. a serious ir not a rovolutionary
ban," a serious if not
condition may develop. The brief also
through an appendix -msents an histor
ical paper on the i reneh revolution,
while parallel column methods aro used
to emphasize part of the Government
lilguiueur.
Another interesting departure from
time-honored practices is that part of tho
brief in which tho Government attempted
to lighten the responsibilities of th
court in the present cases by recourso
to questions and answers, which recall
primai.v text book. It rends in part: ,
"Q Has tho Pedtiral Government tlics
power to imM)sc an excise tail '
" A It. certaiuly has.
"- lois the Statute in question im
pose an excise taxf
A It certainly does.
' ' y is this a tax in fact as well as in
form f
" A It certainly is."
The opponents of tho tax contend it in
an unconstitutional interference with
the police powers of the States, and in
support of their assertion that tho law
was not a proiicr exercise of the Federal
taxing power, the court is aaked by theni
to consider tho motive as explained by"
Senators Lodge, Massachusetts, and Lcn
root, Wisconsin, anil by former Senator
now Judge Kenyon, whilo the measure
was pending.
Several chapters on the constitutional
jurisdiction of the court . are given by
the solicitor-general iu support of the
government 's contention that tho judici
ary cannot incpiire into tho motives of
Congress when its uct on it face is a
legitimate exercise of one of its reserved
powers. The judiciary, it insists, has no
power of revision whatever over the legis
lation of Congress except when con

Another provision of thu ordinance re'
quires all milk to be delivered In sealed
