THE HUGHES AMENDMENTS

In an address before the Union League club of New York last night, Mr. Charles E. Hughes suggested several amendments to the league of nations covenant mainly designed to uphold the Monroe Doctrine, to relieve the United State from enforced administration of foreign territory, and to eliminate the joint guaranty of the independence of member nations. Doubtless these amendments will be considered along with the others that have been proposed. Nor is there any doubt that the constitution will be changed in such a way as to’meet most of the Hughes objections. The speaker of last night is not, be it observed, an enemy of the principle underlying the league idea. If he had been he would not have bothered hims'elf with the work of trying to perfect the covenant. Mr. Hughes is a sincere and honest man, and if he were opposed to the league he would say so, and would fight it. Men may disagree about the covenant, and also about the changes that are needed to make it right, without disagreeing as to the desirability of international co-operation. The purpose, and the whole purpose of Mr. Hughes, as revealed in his address of last night, is to get a league that will operate effectively and at the same time not infringe on our nationality or sovereignty. We think he was quite right in saying that mistake had been made in "giving the impression that the document was a finished product, with a good reason for its choice of expressions, when later it was found necessary to excuse it as a hasty draft which required revision.” Certainly nothing was gained by the President and other friends of the plan by their insistence that it was final. -Rather something was lost. They very fact that the covenant was made public was of itself almost equivalent to proof that it was only tentative. Tor surely the President must have known that therff would be discussion, and that the discussion would restilt in demands for changes. It would have been better if these had been frankly asked, for then there -would have been co-operation rather than opposition. In such cases much depends on the 1 temper of the people, and their state tof mind. Many were no doubt offended by the President’s stand for the covenant as originally offered as something that must be taken or left; for he said that there was no sent-

WAR MOTHERS ENTERTAINED

RETURNED SOLDIER BOYS AND PARTNERS ENTERTAINED FRIDAY EVENING. The local organization of War Mothers surpassed all of their efforts in the way of entertainments Friday evening when they entertained the returned soldier boys from this county and their partners. It was a splendidly executed affair and the delightful manner of entertaining was a source of keen enjoyment. The entertainment was held in the court house and consisted of music, dancing, speaking and the serving of refreshments. Among those present and who added much interest to the occassion were Miss Nettie Jordan and Dr. I. M. Washbum. Miss Jordan is the daughter of Mrs. S. L. Jordan and her experiences in France, where she served for many months as a Red Cross nurse, were extensive and extremely interesting. Miss Jordan spoke of the wonderful and heroic work accomplished by her branch of the army and related many instances of bravery and sacrifice made on»the battlefields, and of the indomitable spirit and courage shown by the Allied soldiers. The speaker told of the Marne. German were crossing the Marne at the time, their trips being made in small row boats. A Yankee soldier was in some brush along the river bank and as a rowboat seven Huns neared him, he reached out and drew the boat toward him with a long hook. In the other hand he carried a hand grenade which he hurled into the boat, killing six of the enemy. The lone survivor then shot the American. Miss .Jordan saw much of the great war and has a wonderful fund of stories to relate, and. jnany trophies picked up on the battlefields. Dr. Washburn also gave an interesting talk on the experiences he Jjad during his time in the service as physician at Fort Des Moines, lowa, telling of the wonderful feats of surgery performed on the.soldiers' who had been wounded in th? fighting. Dr. Washburn considers the experience he had in the army as extremely beneficial and helpful to him and feels that the physicians who entered the service have had no mean part in the winning of the war. The young people spent the evening in dancing. Chicken sandwiches and coffe were served by the War Mothers, and the entire evening was greatly enjoyed by the guests.

ence in it that had not been written in for good reasons. However, it is now agreed on all hands that amendments will be made, and that every effort will be made to meet honest objections. Of course, nothing can be done to win the support of those, like Senator Borah, who are opposed to any league. But the support and co-operation of. such men as Mr. Hughes and Senator Lodge are not only worth having, but are necessary to the success of the plan.—lndianapolis, News.

SUFFERED A PARALYTIC STROKE.

W. J. WRIGHT TO OPEN STORE IN BROOK

W. J. Wright, of this city, in connection with Victor Hancock of Morocco, will soon enlarge his business operations by the opening of a new variety store in Brook. The store will be located in the Boyer building on Main street, and we will predict that it will soon be recognized as the center of business in that city, with such push behind’it as the owners possess. Mr. Wright is a thorough, up-to-date business man, possessing lots of energy and has made a decided success of his business in this city. A few years ago he became interested in the possibilities in a business way offered by the thriving little town of Morocco. He immediately set about to acquire business interests in that town and it was not long until he was the possessor of a splendid furniture business. Morocco citizens recognize him as a man of ability and feel that he has helped make their little city for them. There can be no doubt but that Mr. Wright and Mr. Hancock will make a success of their new venture the same as everything else they have undertaken. Brook is one of the best business centers in this section and will be enriched to the extent of acquiring two live, wide-awake business men in Messrs. Wright and Hancock.

STOLE WIRE FENCING FROM RAILROAD

Section foreman James Norris reports that some one stole about fifty rods of wire off of his section one day last week. The wire was taken from the railroad right of way about a mile south of Surrey. The matter has been reported to the railroad authorities and the guilty party may find himself in the grip of the firm hand of the government. The feeling of innocence and security in appropriating railroad property does not prevail now as it did some years ago. With Uncle Sam in control of the railroads one should be very careful not to offend. Mr. Norris has recovered other property that has been taken from his section and he hopes that the party who took the wire will bring it back and avoid the search of the keen-eyed government detective. J. W. Hammerton is employed on the James Lyons farm near Mt. Ayr. They have forty acres of oats sown, and report that practically all the farmers in that community are engaged in the same way. Mrs. Clark Bartee of Lafayette came Friday for a visit with Mrs. Roas Porter. Private Oscar Leach, who had been honorably discharged from the army on March 18, was in Rensselaer Friday. Elizabeth Witters, who succeeded Miss O’Brien ' as- |he teacher of music and drawing in the Rensselaer schools, went to Chicago Friday evening to spend the week-end at her home there. Following a visit of Oscar H. Williams, state high school inspector of Indianapolis, to Medaryville, an agreement has been reached whereby that town will have a new school building next year. Plans are to be studied at once and the type of building best adapted to the needs of that* community will be selected. Mr. Williams will recommend that the commission of that school will be extended over the intervening period until the new building is constructed.
