DON’T BE HASTY I IN PACT ACTION, SAYS BEVERIDGE " Former Senator Asserts TwoThirds Provision Is Safeguard. HOLDS ABUSE IN VAIN Specift! to The Times. • WARSAW. Ind., Dee. 20.—Warning against hasty action in the ratification of treaties was sounded by Albert J. Bever--idge. former United States Senator from Indiana, in a talk before the Kosciusko County Bar Association here last night on “The Nature and Growth of Our National Constitution. - ’ Mr. Beveridge outlined the treaty making provisions in the Constitution that require that treaties be negotiated by the President, that they be ratified by twothirds of the Senate and that they ag 'u be passed on by the President, lie said this provision is unlike the treaty provisions of any other government. TWO-THIRDS VOTE SAFETY MEASURE. “This two-thirds vote brings to our minds with startling clearness the fact that the framers of our Constitution intended there should be the most searching investigation of every provision of a proposed treaty,” Mr. Beveridge said in discussing the ratification provision. ‘‘The idea was to prevent any hasty action; and, much deeper, that if any consideration portion of the American peopleeven so small a number as those represented by only one more than one-third of the Senate—should seriously object to having the Nation bound by such an international contract the proposed treaty must be rejected.” “Nothing coaid be more offensive to the spirit and purpose of the treaty provision of our National Constitution than efforts to jam through a treaty by any precipitous methods whatever. SENATE ACTION * GENERALLY RIGHT. “Moreover the passage of time has dem- i onstrated that, in practically every case since the foundation of the Republic, j amendments to treaties made by the Sen- ] ate were wise and received the approval , of the ‘sober second-thought' of the i people; and that there are few, if any, in- j stances in our whole history where the rejection of a treaty by the Senate was not. after a lapse of years found to l>e a good thing for the Nation. “I trust that I shall not be accused ot partisanship when I say that nowhere has President Harding shown his sound statesmanship and his understanding of the spirit and purpose of the Constitution, more than in his determination not to crowd the treaties, now being negotiated, to a hasty conclusion when submitted to the Senate. All of us average citizens ought to be governed by the same sensible and worthy motives. “Let us not only tolerate, hut let us Insist upon a microscopic examination of every treaty and tile most extended and fearless debate upon and public discussion of any propose.! international contract. No bad results can possibly come from deliberation; whereas. as every thoughtful person realizes, very bad consequences might result from immature action. Let us proceed carefully like level-headed men and women instead of acting hastily like passionate mobs. Let us not forget the common saying that ‘lt is better to be safe than to be sorry.’

IS OPPOSED TO INTIMIDATON. “Above all let us not attempt to intimidate those with whom vve do not agree; let us not use the cudgel of abuse upon those who feel that they are doing their duty. Let us not answer argument with epithet. In short iet us demonstrate that we possess those sound and noble qualities which, we like to ascribe to American character. “Personally. I greatly dislike the cheap and easy methods of abuse of those who honestly differ with me; and I never have indulged in them, even in the most heated political conflicts. For example: I was one of these who profoundly and fervently disagreed with the policies of President Wilson; but it seemed to me. j not only unworthy, but weak, to heap vituperation on the man himself. On the j contrary, I gladly conceded and often asserted the great intellectual power of ' that remarkable man and never ex- : pressfd a doubt that, from his point of

view, hit motives were noble and exalted. I merely disagreed with his policies, and only gave the reason for such disagreement. Even if I had not thought, this the better course to take morally, I would Lave taken it exclusively as a matter of good political tactics. “Reasons and facts are the only weapons which are really effective; abuse and vituperation never win the support or approval of thoughtful people, but on the contrary, disgust thoughtful people In ; the end. Abuse and epithet are, after : all, a confession of the weakness of j those who resort to such methods. ;RECALLS LEAGUE \ CONTROVERSY. ! “Just as such methods directed to- ; wards President Wilson seemed to me to i be unworthy and foolish, so the same i methods used toward his ‘ opponents ; seemed to uie to be equally unworthy ! and foolish. For example in a debate i over the League of Nations, those who j thought the plan unwise and therefore j fought it, were lashed with stinging i phrases, and branded with scornful | labels. Their motives were said to be mean and base. They were called ‘irreeonsilable - and many other hard names. “All this means nothing except bad temper, and It gets nowhere with earnest, well-meaning and serious-minded men and women. When a public man takes h.is , position on any question, let us demand of him his reasons, and the facts to support those reasons; and when he gives them let us not, merely' because we do not agree with him, answer him with but billingsgate.”*

BY MABEL WHEELER. While loitering around the “Y” swimming pool the other day, I noted a group of lively' looking girls playing aquatic tag amid shrieks of laughter. “Peppy looking flock of mermaids,” I observed to a fellow loafer.-ss. “They are,” she responded, “that’s a : bunch of the Pettis Club girls.” “Pettis Club sounds sorta New York I sto.rish to me,” said I. “That’s it exactly,” answered my in- j formant. “It is an organization of Pettis dry goods employes, they have a club that is affiliated with the Y. AV. C. A. j and these are some of their representa- ! tives.” The club idea sorta stayed with me ! and as I flitted through the Pettis dry' : goods shop yesterday in search of an in- 1 tangible Christmas something for any one of some ninety’ some ones, I dropped in to chat with Edna Bunting, president, about the club. NOT MERELY FOR RECREATION. “ies,” she said, ‘*it’s a social service organization, too, not merely a recreation club. Right at present we are busy with ‘Christmasing’ for the children of the detention home. Last Sunday we held services for them at the home. Simple talks were made and candies and fruit given the litttle folk. The home is our special charge anyway; all through the year we have looked after the children, Christmas being merely a gay finale to a busy season. On Christmas eve we will take out a tree, gifts and stockings of candy. It is up to us to scj that each child is remembered.” She said that every employe of the shop was entitled to become a Member,

provided that she joined the Y. W. C. A. The club has tertaln class nights when they take swimming, sewing, gymnasium, dancing, or any other one of the varied number of courses offered by the association. Asa club the girls get extremely low rates and make a party out of the classes. DIRECTOR CREATES ENTHUSIASM. “By the way,” she said as I was leaving. "Have you met Mrs. Myrtle Mann, our employment director at present, but formerly in charge of the educational work of the store? Come along, you must meet her.” And when I did meet her I understood why she said “rn'ust,” for Mrs. Mann is one of those rare personalities that gives you a sense of sympathetic friendliness, the kind of person who would unconsciously draw the girls who come in contact with her. She is full of enthusiasm over the educational work of the store, the vocational lectures, the juvenile work and the salesmanship classes. “It Is amazing the results that we get from these classes,” she said. “The course is ten weeks, one hour each morning with the exceptions of Friday and Saturdays. There are fifteen girls in each class and we have taken fifteen groups this season.” She said that she personally picked the girls for the classes, taking into consideration those who show special interi est in their work, but lacking experience. ! She visits the departments, talks in- | formally with the employes and casually ! gleans a sheaf of personal fragments I which all go into her memory record of I students-elect. i “Os those picked this year,” she said,

“there were but two who at the close of the course were not put into better positions or materially bettered as to salary, owing to their efficient work. WORK WITH JUNIORS MOST INTERESTING. “Then we have conducted classes in hygiene, business manners with talks on proper dressing, but perhaps the most interesting of all is our work with the juniors, those who are under 1G years." She told me of how closely supervised the young folk were, saying that the management, felt its responsibility for the jniors, keeping tab on their outside life, their habits and helping them in every manner possible. Mrs. Mann is their pal, listens to their tales of woe, sympathies with them and oversees their training. One bobbed hair youngster, who ushered me out of the office later on, designated Airs. Mann in no uncertain terms as “a perfect darling.” A unique “stunt” practiced in the shop was the merit contest. Each employe’s record was kept by the heads of the de-

partments and the owner of each perfect month's record received a holiday. Each month, there were from forty to ninety workers “holidayed.” There is a quiet hospital room in the store, finished in white enamel, spotlessly clean, with as assistant from the Red Cross to lend first aid. There is a quiet room too with eight or nine beds, where the girls may rest during the day, where conversation is absolutely forbidden, relaxation being the keynote of its atmosphere. A recreation room with magazines, a small library, and a victrola is always in readiness for those who wish to idle away a few moments. Another thoughtful idea is the sewing room where machines are at hand for the employes’ convenience. WELFARE ASSOCIATION OF EMPLOYES. As I passed the office thinking of the vast difference in shop morale in bygone days and today, Mr. Aurnann halted me with a greeting, and after an exchange of “I’m fines, how are yous” the young advertising enthusiast told me

about the Welfare Association, which is carried on among the employes, which enables them to draw a handy sum if ill at a very small per cent. The system has been In existence for some seven years and, while it Is optional with the employes, the greater part of them take advantage of it, owing to its satisfactory results. Then he also told me of the lunchroom ‘conducted by the emjiloyes, (he room, fixtures, gas and lights being given by the management, the meals being given at a price that merely covers the cost for the lunchroom upkeep. As xve looked in, the rush had already begun, and to the tune of a lively foxtrot from the talking machine that furnished cabaret for the diners. As I departed, having made a thorough inspection of most every department bright with Christmas greens, as a result of my aeuiqred knowledge I noted the careful dress, the well manicured nails, neat hairdressing and quiet manner of the girls and also recalled with satisfaction the clause that banned gum chewing, the ban being a self made, one among the employes, that Is abided by most carefully.
