I At last the Republican party is to carry out its long mooted project of reducing Southern representation in it national Its National Committee, in session at "Washington, yesterday, voted to adopt a plan which will do this.

Southern protestants in the committee were overridden. Remmel ot Arkansas charged that the party byjmerce in 0rder to attain amity and I See In The fcPaW Courier-Journal By W. S. ADKINS. jg i the Porter Resolution which differs from the original in that it merely de clares a state of peace exists- without formally nullifying the war resolution of April 2, 1917.

Meanwhile Senator Reed is eating out his soul. "We passed a resolution declaring peace with Germany several weeks ago," says he, "but now it is tied up in the House. Why, I don't know. The grapevine brings us many stories." One of these stories relates the eagerness of a certain Representative to have his name attached to this epoch-making document; another that the Administration has' interfered. Both stories are Indeed plausible.

The characteristic of the petty nature of the whole transaction. Interference by the Administration, on the other hand, is a hopeful sign that some common sense is being applied to an egregious piece of folly handing Germany peace on a silver plat ter' and asking nothing in return. A nice quibble Mr. Porter has set up to exchange his handiwork for that of Mr. Knox.

It is much better, he thinks, to declare simply a state of peace rather than to raise the infer ence "that" we have disavowed or repudiated the war." Heroic as that may sound In print it is in reality a huge joke and if Mr. Porter did not chuckle up his sleeve when he said it, the spirit of melodrama has possessed him. America has disavowed and repu diated the war in word and deed since the Senate of the United States, Sen ator Harding participating, refused to keep faith with our Allies. diction of Mr. Porter In his resolution can add or subtract nothing.

But while we have deserted our Allies. America can still safeguard its own rights by refusing to make a gratuitous and absurd peace with no strings attached. May the grapevine yarn be true that the Administration has interfered! VICTIMIZED Barbourvllle, a progressive and en lightened college town in the mountains, has been victimized by the outlaws who have selected Its streets as the scene ot what Is declared a renewal of the White-Bailey feud. The sympathies of civilized men and women are with the outraged citizens of Barbourvllle who have subscribed $500 as a reward for the arrest of James Lee, alleged slayer of Josh Faulkner. Sharp contrasts are presented by the spectacle of the revival of the vendetta where it is distinctly ex otic.

The feud is a rural outcropping. Fought out in the hills, Its sanguinary incidents occurring upon mountain trails, its cavaliers straddling mules, it would be within the picture of re tardation due to bad roads, bad schools and the bad blood that boils where civilization pauses midway between barbarism and enlightenment. A hill feud renewed upon the asphalt streets of a trim town which has good taxicab service, piped water, electric lights, factories, football, an aviation club and other concomitants of progress Is an imposition which has the effect of libel. It misrepresents the town which necessarily figures in the news dispatches as the theater of clan warfare. There remain a few mountain towns in Kentucky habitual meeting places of the men on muleback who know more about arms of precision than about bathtubs and spend their money for Arkansas toothpicks more willingly than for toothbrushes in which a clan fight does not seem out of place.

Barbourvllle is not one of them. Bar-bourville put its best foot forward some time ago, and its other foot followed, and step after step was made along the pathway of progress. Its resentment of the outrage of warring hillmen dragging their quarrels into its maple shaded thoroughfares, Inaugurating the crackle of repeating rifles between the campus and the picture show; bringing down upon the town the militia to preserve order from the golf stick factory to the Aviators' Club, easily Is English Government officers, discovering that Americans are exporting to England candies containing one pound of liquor to 15 pounds ot sweets, want to know how manufacturers in a dry country can make such an output. Another question is how an Englishman or an Englishwoman feels the morning after eating fifteen pounds of candy In order to absorb a pound of whisky. The Kentucky Retail Clothers' As sociation, Informed by a speaker that dally newspaper advertising Is the best form of advertising, need only consult a movie queen, a politician and a professional beauty to realize the truth of the assertion.

John Bailey of Clay County, in jail in Louisville for killing Beverly White, says there is no real outbreak of the White-Bailey feud in Barbour-ville, but many a boy who must miss the ball game insists that It isn't much of a ball game. One sign of "declining prices is that a woman in a Chicago restaurant which was being held up 'by a bandit did not hesitate to risk spoiling her coffee by dropping $15,000 worth of jewelry into it? To be effective, the disciplinary mea sures which Senator McCormick rec ommends in the case of Admiral Sims must include sewing up the Admiral's mouth. "Survivors of the Pueblo flood are eating doughnuts." Survivors of the feast 6f doughnuts will Illustrate the expression "survival of the "Milestones" Filmed. ILESTONES" was given to the public as a stage production and the' public re 66 sponded with an appreciation which made the Arnold Bennett and Edward Knoblock play one of the season's big successes. It would have been remarkable1 had not the seasoned author and experienced playwright in combine scored In any play they attempted for each supplemented the other in art which created a gripping story and unique methods of depicting it.

"Milestones'is builded'in three acts which follow tl5e fortunes of hero-and heroine through three generations, portraying in the process the picturesque era of the 60's, of 1885 and finally of 1910. "Milestones" has to do with ambition and love and sacrifice and is an appealing and romantic story of the type usually associated with "lavendar and old lace." The Majestic will show the Bennett and Knoblock romance as the feature of the programme for the week end. Rialto's New Programme. ONE of the most delightful plays which ever found Its way to the stage was "Bunty Pulls the Strings." It was a quaint story Introducing quaint and amusing Scotch characters in situations which gave rise to unlimited mirth and the favorite phrase concerning the comedy was and Is that it is "one long ripple of laughter." The Graham Moffat tale has now been adapted to the screen and will be shown at the RIalto for the last three days of the week beginning today. Reginald Barker stands sponsor for the tllm translation and he was asso-' elated with such films as "The Brand-Int Iron," "Flame of the Desert" and other offerings.

The cast assuming the various roles includes Beatrice Joy, Raymond Hatton, Russel Simpson, Cullen Landis, Casson Ferguson, Edythe Chapman and, Josephine Crowell. A Pleasant Comedy. RVING BACHELOR'S story, "Keeping Up With Lizzie," has been made into a very pleasant and certainly into a well-done photoplay. The film is exhibited at the Walnut for the remainder of the week with Enid Bennett in the leading role. "Keeping Up With Lizzie" was made by a new film company, this being Its second release; but if this film and "The Truant Husband," shown at the Walnut a few weeks ago and the first product of this company, may be taken as examples of this company's future output of comedy, those who have made comedies in the past will have to "go way back in the corner and sit "Keeping Up With Lizzie" Is bright and wholesome comedy.

It teaches a lesson.which should bo Injected into American children at their birth and it presents an hour of clean mirth-provoking entertainment. Much more could not be expected of a comedy film. Belie Daniels' Latest. YOU see her see herself on tne screen. sucn is tne unusual situation which Is promised in "Two Weeks With Pay" at the Alamo today.

With Bebo Daniels In the star role it is said to be an amusing photoplay entertainment. In it Miss Daniels plays a dual role. depicting in one character Pansy O'Donnell, a sales girl, and In the other Marie La Tour, screen star and diving beauty. When Pansy goes to tho fashionable Fairvlew Hotel to spend her vacation, "Two Weeks With Pay." she is mistaken for Miss La Tour and circumstances force her to assume the character. To study the screen star she goes to the nearest picture show and there Bebe Daniels, as Pansy O'Donnell, is seen watching Bebe Daniels, as Marie La Tour, acting on the screen within a screen.

Pansy O'Donnell does all right as Marie La Tour until she has to do a fancy dive. Then complications "come. The Reason Why. OWING THE WIND." at the Strand this week, is a translation of a play in which Cyril Maude made his early London fame and in which Henry Miller played in this country. In its translated version It will bo noted that "Sowing the Wind" is made tho vehicle for feminine starship rather than masculine, and this fact, says Louis B.

Mayer, Miss Stewart's manager, and producer of "Sowing the Wind," denotes the salient difference between the art of the stage and the art of the screen. "The business of the stage Is to allure tho sense through the medium of tho voice as well as the eye," says Mr. Mayer. "The business of the screen is to beguile the eye. Naturally, then, the burden of this obligation rests on tho shoulders ot, those whose sex qualifications qualify them to intrigue the vision.

All things else being equal, the leading roles of ro mance ran more normally Into a wo man hands than a man's, and thus it Is with the story ot Baby Brabant and her daughter."

This Government, Mr.

Hughes ex has proposed to Mexico a "treaty of amity and commerce" in which that country will agree to safe guard the rights of property which was acquired before the promulgation of. its constitution of 1917. If those provisions of the constitution are to be put into effect retroactively, Mr. Hughes says, the properties of Ameri can citizens will be confiscated. Mexico must either change her constitu tion or interpret it so as to protect American property rights.

Failure to do this "would constitute an interna tional wrong of the greatest character and this Government could not sub mit to its accomplishment." There can be no mistaking that threat. If Mexico will not sign' the Lrop0sed treaty of amity and com- commerce with us' she must comply with the demands expressed therein on penalty of war against her by the United States. A treaty of amity and commerce, or war, is the question which Secretary Hughes has put up to President Obregon for decision. It is an innovation in diplomacy. The usual order would be to recog nize the Obregon Government if in our opinion its credentials as the de facto Government of Mexico were valid, and then to hold that Government ac countable for any violation of our rjgnts.

Mr. Hughes, however, would ir i i arive a Bargain wmi ukluic having anything to do with her.

A conundrum that is, surely, one which would stump even the wonderful Sam Loyd or the marvelous Mr.

Nolan of Harvard. It is not propounded to Congress. Members of both Houses have already shown such lamentable vagueness and naivete about the whole question that they auto matically exclude themselves from the competition. The root of all the shrubbery is a campaign utterance of Mr. Harding in which he promised America a formal and effective peace as soon as the Republican machine in Congress manufactured a peace resolution for him to sign.

He could have had In mind nothing but the Knox Resolution which wis being carefully pre served in lavender and old laco until its "progenitor had occasion to "bring it once again before the Senate. When that time rolled around a change of feeling 'had taken place concerning its advisability, not only in the minds of many Congressmen, but also in the mind of the President. The latter agreed to its passage only after abolishing some of its obnoxious features. The Senate passed it in that form some weeks ago and it was sent to the Houhb for that body's perfunctory signature. But far from perfunctory was its reception in the House Foreign At faira Committee, where It was seized For Instance.

Three thou sand persons, many of whom had ridden in from remote sections of the mountain region today witnessed the graduation at Berea College of more than 250 students. Most of the grad-nntps will return to their mountain communities. Fifty will be teachers.

Prominent among the commencement exercises was the laying of the cornerstone of the fee Me morial Church, which will replace the old Union Church, called tne "mother of Berea," long ago outgrown. The new building will cost $70,000, of which $32,000 was subscribed "by members of the faculty and residents of Berea. Announcement was made that a camnaisrn for $1,000,000, to be known as the "Berea Necessity Fund," will be carried on next fall and winter. The normal school body has sub scribed $10,000 for this fund and It is believed other departments will bring the subscriptions to many times this amount. The Rev.

Dr. Jonathan C. Day, New York, former Kentucky mountain boy, will devote his entire time to speaking over the United States in the interest of this fund. Heretofore the burden of raising funds for the school has rested on the shoulders of Prof. William Frost, president and a few assistants.

The exercises today marked the closing ot the first year of Berea College under the administration of Prof. William J. Hutchins as president. Two thousand, four hundred and ninety students attended, SO per cent of whom are from mountain homes. Tho commencement exercises included performances of "Robin Hood" by the Ilarmonia Society, "The Winter's.

FIDELITY POORLI REWARDED. (Philadelphia Record.) When the late Franklin K. Lane went to Washington in 1905 to become a member of the Interstate Commerce Commission he is said to have been worth $100,000, accumulated in his profession as a lawyer. When he died the other day he left, according to his brother, practically no estate. All his savings, as well as his salary during 15 years of official life, had been expended in the mere maintenance of a modest home for his family.

This Is not an exceptional instance of faithful dying penni less. Many Philadelphians will recall the case of Samuel J. Randall, for many years a member of Congress from this city. Speaker of the House and chairman ot the all-powerful Ways and Means Committee. Through devoting the best years' of his life to the public service at a time when less honorable men were accumulating fortunes through their ofilcial connections at Washington, he died In such comparative poverty that friends and political associates felt it incumbent upon them to raise a modest subscription fund for the benefit of his family.

Messrs. Randall and Lane cherished high ideals regarding the proprieties of official rank, and spurned the opportunities for making money which less, scrupulous men would have grasped eagerly. Of the ex-Presidents, Monroe died in New York under circumstances that many would cull destitution. Jefferson ruined himself by his long public ser vice and too generous hospitality, and Congress bought his library as a means ot helping his estate. Grant's association with u' rascally partner led to his financial ruin, and his few remaining months were devoted -fo the writing of his memoirs in order to pay off his debts and leave something for his family.

Other former occupants of the VVhite House have had to return to work to make both ends meet. The great Republic exacts much of many of its servants, especially those holding positions of high responsibility, and compensates them in rather niggardly fashion. It takes from them the best they can give, and then turns them out to shift for themselves in whatever way they can. But that has always teen the fashion of republics, which are proverbially ungrateful. Fortunately for the country, there are Lanes, Randalls, Jefferson, ready to make the necessary sacrifice.

They are the salt of the earth, po litically speaking, arid some way should be found to ward off poverty from their declining years. METEOROLOGICAL DATA. (Official.) Louisville. June 8. 1921 a.m.
