Will Hays, republican national chairman, informed the republican editors at Magnesia Springs last week he would not accept the gubernatorial nomination because the political situation was too complicated. One way for him to unravel it. is to go to Washington and straighten out those republican senators who are opposing the ratification of the peace treaty and the adoption of the league of nations. The public would favor that and it would thus clear up the situation a little. In the meantime Lieut. Governor Bush is making his campaign for the nomination, he being the only vowed candidate and has a clear tract.

Edward Cummings, general secretary of the World Peace Foundation organization, has the following to say regarding the merits of the league of nations and the peace treaty, which he states is the greatest document ever written by the hand of man. The senators who are opposing the ratification of the treaty on purely political grounds cannot be too severely criticized. Mr. Cummings says: “The treaty of Paris is the longest single treaty ever signed. It is six times as long as the treaties of the peace of Westphalia (1648) and ten times as long as the treaty of Vienna (1S15); it is as long as the latter and all the subsidiary treaties resulting from it. Though it covers more ground than any other treaty made, it was prepared in half the time re-

quired tor the peace of Vienna, and in less than one-tenth of the time required for the treaty of Westphalia. This phenomenal result is attributed by European statesmen to the initial adoption of the Covenant of the League of Nations, -which provides for the future settlement of a large number of perplexing problems. Despite opinions to the contrary, the verdict of history will unquestionably be that the Peace of Paris carries into effect to a remarkable degree the program accepted In advance by the peoples of the world and embodied in the fourteen points put forth by the American government on January 8, 1918, ten months before the actual signing of the armistice. “Os the fourteen points thus accepted by a world in arms, serious objection has been raised to only one the fourteenth. That objection has come from a faction in the United States senate. The fourteenth point as embodied in the treaty is Article X. of the Covenant of the League oi Nations. Germany herself has insisted upon it as an essential part ol the peace. , "The treaty as signed makes a new world, politically, physically, morally and spiritually. The mandatory system ends the old regime of exploitation, and makes wards of the whole world in Asia, Africa and the isles of the sea. The. treaty has established • in the place of, artificial states natur-j

t al policies and national units. It has removed from the map numerous historic wrongs which have long served to embitter the international relations. It has set the world upon a new path of progress marked by the following guide posts: “1. International co-operation, including the consolidation of all exist ing international administrative activities. “2. Extensive machinery for cooperation in a League of Nations open to all that prove worthy of membership. . “3. The creation of a labor conference and labor bureau to solve the problems of an industrial civilization. “4. A pledge to reduce armaments, and as a first step toward it the disarming of the one nation whose geographical situation has made it a menace to the world. “5. The abolition of conquest by Article X, without interfering with other methods of territorial adjustment. ‘‘6. The declaration that any war is a matter of concern to all, and the erection of machinery for dealing with conditions which endanger the peace of the world. “7. An agreement not to go to war before peaceful settlement of disputes has been tried. “8. Automatic provision sanctions for the punishment of the breach of agrements voluntarily taken. “9. A representative assembly meeting regularly and. among other things, carrying on the work of codifying and revising international law begun by the Hague Conference. “The treaty is the most momentous document ever prepared by the hand of man. It sets the world right about face. It marks the triumph of American ideas, policies and institutions, by extending to a league of sovereign nations the democratic principles first embodied in our league of sovereign states.”

KANSAS ASKS DEMONSTRATIONS OF FEDERAL WHEAT GRADING Washington, D. C., Aug. 2.—At the telegraphed request of Governor of Kansas, the United States department of agriculture has assigned six federal grain supervisors to demonstrate in Kansas the government wheat grading methods. They will work in co-operation with the Kansas state grain inspection department and under the join direction of that department and the federal grain supervisor's office at Kansas City. “We are offering no criticism of the federal standards for wheat but are merely seeking to have them administered as acurately as possible," said Governor Allen, who also expressed the opinion that grading demonstrations are needed ' while the state is becoming acquainted with the new grading rules and while there is so much wheat of uncertain grades.” Governor Allen also suggested that the federal grain supervisors should visit as many local shipping points as possible to check the grading of the farmers’ wheat, to explain to buyers and farmers the correct methods of grading under the new rules. MAKE “BIG FOUR" SIGN ARMISTICE THIS MONTH,

In August these pests must be eliminated and this newspaper has. arranged with the American Forestry association for its! readers to get detailed instruction on how to proceed for the asking. The instructions are too lengthy to print in full. White to the Association and ask for this information.
