THOSE PEANUT CRITICS

It is perfectly right and proper for President Wilson to attend the peace conference, and The Democrat heartily endorses his going. In this we have with us such real Republican patriots as former President William H. Taft, who was too honorable a man for his party and was kicked out of office by the very men who are now so treasonably criticising President Wilson. The meeting of the Illinois State Federation of Labor held at Bloomington this week acd addressed by Governor Lowden of that state, passed a resolution of congratulation and confidence in President

I Wilson and strongly endorsed his J determiation to sit in person at jthe peace conference. The resolution of chier to PresiIdent Wilson —after reciting that labor, in supporting the war, has I been “ably defended by that great j humanitarian in Washington, President Woodrow Wilson,’’ and that j *e recognize in President Wilson ithe most fearless leader in the | world today, the great friend of the J common people, eve r ready to symJpathize with their ideas and J. deals, and that “we have noticed jwilh grave concern the sinister atherpts on the part of the powerful corporate interests, always opposed j?o the interests of labor as well as |‘° tfie interest of humanity a« a | whole, to prevent the president j from attending in person the peace | conference,” urges on all right minded people that “the presence of President Wilson is absolutely

imperative.” Mr. Wilson will be the big man in this peace conference, as he is today the greatest man in the world in the eyes of the people of ; a:I civilized countries, and the very [fact that in the world's history, in the centuries to come, he will stand oat head and shoulders in greater prominence than any citizen of this or any other country is precisely what is worrying the opposition party in these United States today. To show that there —are exceptions to these peanut politicians’ | criticism. The Democrat copies the following editorial from the Lafayette Journal of Wednesday. The Journal is the leading Republi- , can paper of this congressional district and on former occasions has took Will R. Wood to task for his unpatriotic acts in congress:

Hide Vonr Sore Toes With The Other Foot, Gentlemen. It weald be gratifying if the l aited States senate would give - -ome evidence of being composed jj°f men of judgment and discretion instead of performing like a bunch ■of primary school Scholars. This foolishness about declaring f the office of President Wilson vail cant, together with the other hare- . brained proposals along similar j lines is the veriest rot and finds sno endorsement among the people. Is the name of all that is sane, i gentlemen, cover your sore toes , with the other foot and proceed I with the duties that you were elected to perform. If Mr. Wilson is making a mistake in going to Europe it is his mistake and he will suffer the consequences. At any rate there Is no way to stop him and the silly twaddle that is being indulged in the senate stamps his critcs as being even less discerning than they charge the president with being. Mr. Wilson will have a good time and is entitled to it. He may render some real service to the world, in which event we shall rejoice. If perchance he butts his head against a stone wall or two it will be his head that is bruised. At any rate he cannot commit America to any policy that we do not choose to endorse and the senate has the final word concerning the treaties that may be negotiated. It is. to be regretted that be has taken his departure for Europe to explain the meaning of his fourteen peace points without explaining to his own people what they mean. The mere fact that they need interpretation that justifies his unusual visit affords ample

reason for the 'anxiety that prevails at home concerning' the same subject. But while our presidential Don Quixote has fared forth to make the world safe for democracy, the United States senate, together with we of lesser opportunities, may perform real service by giving immediate and thoughful attention to the problems that are calculated to make America safe for Americans. If, and we h&pe it will not, misfortune should overtake Mr. Wilson the nation would be compelled to worry along forever after without him. Therefore we ought to be able to exist for a few weeks without his presence in Washington. We venture to say there have been times in the not distant past when the gentlemen who no\y doth protest the most would have welcomed the announcement that Mr. Wilson was going to absent himself for an indefinite period of time. It is a very childish and * silly exhibition to which we are being treated at a time when there is men’s work to be done. Let us give heed to the substance and permit the shadow to vanish unpursued. If it can be charged that the president is derelict in his duties as executive, do not pave the way for the same charge to lie against the lawmaking body of the nation.

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

Writes of Overland Trip to Florida. Roy Wickizer and family of Walker township, who recently left via automobile for Florida, have written back something of their trip, and Rue Z. McMur r ay of Kniman brought the letter to The Democrat for publication, that their friends may read of their trip: Helen, Florida. Dear Sister and Will write you a few lines. We are not to our journey’s end yet. 'Hlave resting up today, Sunday. We restng up today, Sunday. We surely had fine weather for our trip. It drizzled a little about an hour each day the second and third day, but has been nice since. We surely had some expediences, too. Some hills were so rough coming up the mountains that we could not get up speed to climb them without tearing things to pieces, so had to get out and push. Another man and woman came with us from Anderson until yesterday noon, then we had to take another road, so we had company all the way. We followed the Dixie higlrway all the way. They are just making a stone road of it over the mountains, so probably- the next time we travel it will be better. We Crossed, the Cumberland and Blue Ridge mountains. This is the place ,where they fought those great battles in the civil war. You sure see some sights: in them. The road we hame around Lookout mountain, was about half way up the mountain, and down below us could see the rbad we came over in the far distance and up above us was the monument where they fought the “battle above the clouds.” We could just see the monument, it was so high. Just think of it, we were half way between the city and the top of the mountain. They have a fine stone road up to the top and round where we crossed it was supposed to be .") miles above us. We passed Missionary Ridge, Taylor Ridge, Pike's Peak and all those places you probably remember reading of in war history. Have followed the road that Sherman marched when he went -through from Atlanta to the sea. One old planter said that the Kaiser hadn’t done anything to what Sherman did in that march, for he burned everything he came to. Well. I have seen some of the prettiest places I ever saw on our trip and some fine land and crops, and again there were some places I wouldn’t want to live. The principal crops through ,Kentucky and the northern part of Tennessee are tobacco and cotton; the southern part is cotton, corn and some peanuts. In Georgia there are larger fields of corn than in Tennessee. In the southern part there are lots of sweet potatoes. In Florida crops are about the same as in Georgia, with oranges and cumquats added. Blackberries and raspberries grow wild here and huckleberries on large bushes like in the cranberry marshes. I like the country quite well in through here. It is mostly the turpentine pine. Lots of groves tapped containing many acres. Day before yesterday we passed acre after acre of peach groves in the northern part oT~Georgia. Well this is all for this time. ROY WICKIZER AND FAMILY.
