"Before that would get him out of his troubles and not hold up the confirmation of the Peace Treaty and League of Nations, Abe, Mr. Wilson would first got to get an act of Congress pa.s.sed amending the order of the alphabet and making L for Lodge, J for Johnson, and R for Reed come ahead of H for Hitchc.o.c.k, who, of course, wouldn't mind helping out Mr.
Wilson by allowing himself to be s.h.i.+fted to the third or fourth sitting," Morris said.
"Maybe it would be a good thing to let the alphabet stand and square things with Borah and Brandegee," Abe retorted.
"It might even be still better if Mr. Wilson would write the King, junior, to be so good and postpone his visit until after Inauguration Day, 1921, and put the entire problem up to the next President, whoever he might be," Morris said.
"He might even be Mr. Wilson," Abe concluded; "because, when it comes to a job like entertaining this here King, junior, what American is anxious to tackle it, even if by doing so he could become President even? Am I right or wrong?"

NOVELS OF
WILL N. HARBEN
"His people talk as if they had not been in books before, and they talk all the more interestingly because they have for the most part not been in society, or ever will be. They express themselves in the neighborly parlance with a fury of fun, of pathos, and profanity which is native to their region. Of all our localists, as I may call the type of American writers whom I think the most national, no one has done things more expressive of the life he was born to than Mr. Harben."
