They hate to win from him in that way. Very ft w will deny that he had noble ideals and generous aspirations. The Witness always gave Wilson credit for his good intentions. —Adams County Witness. It's a poor time to celebrate. Perhaps you haven’t won. The vote now being taken on the Bok Peace Award does not indicate you have won at a single point. The ideals of Wilson will live on through eternity and the Witness and other newspapers will be giving him credit long after most of us have been forgotten. Even now they are soft pedalling. Senator Ralston told the democratic editors the other night that he has not been and is not a candidate for president. He added, however, that if called tq any office from road supervisor to the presidency, he would give his best efforts to perform the duties of that office. The Indiana delegation wiU vote for Ralston in the New York convention. The "wild west” is a safety zone these daf".

people want them to do. . The Holland-St. Louis Sugar Company is now contracting for the 192-1 crop of beets and the announcement r. in tyis paper last Saturday should be f - of importance to every farmer. The ' beet crop is as it is culled in that r unnounceiqent a “pinch hitting'' crop, meaning that it brings a safe return, goes well with stock raising, has a sure market and a guaranteed price, rotates fine with other crops, s D helps your land, lends itself to the s making of loans and carries a bonus. * Every Adams county farmer should ( take advantage of the opportunity to j raise beets and sell them at home, it’s 1 a great crop for a splendid home In • dustry which deserves your earnest support The anti-peace press of the nation has for several years placed great emphasis on the vote of 1920 which they claim to have been the expression of the people upon the league 6f nations. The truth is the question was but little discussed that year and had but little to do with the election results. Now a referendum vote is being taken upon the Bok plan and papers like the Fort Wayne News have been mak ing a regular campaign against it, predicting a decided vote in opposition to the Livermore plan which is in reality the old league of nations. The first announcement of the vote shows that out of a total of 514.318 cast only 64,750 were “no" and 449.568 were "yes.” Os course the peoplewant peace, perpetual and universal and if they have a chance to vote on that issue will so declare. The vote is likely to make the politicians look ut - things a little different and to change their platforms considerably. There is another month in which lo vote on the Plan. — o — ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ • 4 • From the Dally Democrat fl lee 4 ♦ 20 yeare ego thia day * February 18—J.
