RATIFY THE TREATY!

Readjustment of the world’s economic and industrial conditions, which were so badly dislocated by the war, is impossible so long as there are fears and doubts as to international relations in the immediate future. The establishment of a dozen governments in Europe, the boundaries between new nations, the resumption of ■commerce with the late belligerents, the extension of credits and a hundred other no less vital problems depend upon the conclusion of peace. ’ t There can be no real, stable prosperity without peace. There can be no peace until the treaty between Germany and all the ■countries with which she was at war is an accomplished fact. The present status of uncertainty is sure to produce unrest among peoples everywhere and consequent 'disturbance of business. The biggest and most powerful nation in the world —the United

States —Is seriously affected by its present position in the twilight between war and peace. As the most important factor in the finance and trade of the world the United States must be free to return to Its tasks at home and abroad before Europe and South America can find themselves. The New York World correctly diagnoses the present economic situation when it says editorially: “There can be no approach to normal conditions in this country until the treaty of peace is out of the way and the work of liquidating the war has become the chief concern of the government as well as of the victims of the existing situation. Business of all kinds is largely speculative because of indefiniteness and uncertainty, and gambling has to be paid for by somebody. In this case it is paid for by the consumer, who must take care of both gains and losses.’’ Let the senate ratify the treaty and approve the covenant of the league of nations. That act alone will stabilize the world. It will turn the people’s thoughts from war. It will restore the 1 phychology of peace. Ratify the treaty!

WILL THE REPUBLICANS ACT?

Inertia among Republicans in congress in respect to the high cost df living is susceptible of any one of several explanations, none of which, however, will unburden them of responsibility or satisfy the people. One hypothesis advanced by the milder critics of the Republican majority is that its leaders and members are unable rightly to appraise the significance and urgency of the prcftlem. There is, besides this, the view that the Republicans regard the whole situation as a political game in which clever playing and maneuvering, rather than sincere statesmanship, are the prime requisities. Still another interpretation of their recalcitrance and opposition is that the Republicans fear to attack.the question of high prices and profiteering lest they give offense to special interests which are at once the chief beneficiaries of this greedy exploita-

tion of the public and the largest contributors to Republican campaign funds. Whether It Is incompetence or chicanery or open complicity that accounts for the inactivity of the Republican majority in congress, will soon be disclosed, for the Democratic administration, from President Wilson down, is in motion to find a remedy. Investigation and legislation will be necessary to determine the causes of excessive prices and to furnish relief. What is required in the way of statute to solve the problem must come from the Republican congress. If, in the light of the facts, Its leaders and members fail or refuse to give this support, they will have confessed judgment as political bankrupts.

GILLETT, THE NEW CZAR

Republican leaders in congress, though ' their memories appear to be rather short, ought not to assume that the people have forgot the despotic and reactionary •tactics which they punished eight years ago by driving Cannon and Aldrich and their retinue fr6in power. Czarism is less popular now than it was in 1912. Speaker Gillett seems to have learned little from the history of the last decade. He is turning back to the practices, as his party also is reverting to the standards, of an age that is gone. The Democrats gave the people a full share in the government, and there will be no tolerance for the cabal or individual that attempts to substitute the sway of a person 9 or of a group for popular rule. Whether Mr. Gillett's ruthless denial of former Speaker Clark’s right to be heard in behalf of the country was prompted by pique at the wrecking of plans for adjournment of the house of representatives, or whether it was Inspired by the hope of preventing an inquiry into the cost of living is immaterial. It was bad taste and poor policy. It was a resurgence of all that began by defeating the popular will and ended by overthrowing the Republican machine only a little time since.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Indianapolis News: Notwithstanding the frequent testimony given by leather dealers and shoe maruufacturers before conventions, in hotel lobbies and similar places where they were not embarrassed by the formality of an oath, that the price of shoes was going still higher, such persons in testifying before the grand jury at Boston said that the price of shoes would be lower. It seems to make a difference where testimony is given. President Wilson’s league of nations falls to please some score of Republican senators. But it may be asked whether Mr. Lodge’s league would suit Mr. Nelson, or whether anybody’s league would satisfy Mr. Borah?* Republican leaders of congress

have pretended that they were preparing a program of legislation upon domMtie Imo*. There la now a fine opportunity to act The president and the people have outlined a program. Republican ••investigations” are revealing some startling differences between the conduct of the SpanishAmerican war on a -a ••n of “*mhaltned” beef and the winning of the world* greatest conflict on wholesome food. The Republicans promised us last autumn that their rlectlon would result in lower taxea Now comes Mr. with a proposal for' a high protective tariff. A. general high tariff is a high tax. Speaker Gillett apparently believes that by refusing to recognize Democrats who have something to propose for the good of the country he can ignore all that means trouble for the Republicans. Republicans wanted to take a recess because it was too warm in Washington. But the people will make it still hotter for the G. O. P. if its representatives in congress don’t get busy.

Republicans hoped to find inquiries into the conduct of the war less disagreeable to friendly special interests tian investigations into the high cost • r living. Perhaps Speaker Gillett doesn’t want the house of representatives to permit the high cost of living to be investigated without “reservations.” When Republicans begin to quarrel among themselves we can expect to hear the truth even if we can’t hope to have constructive legislation.• Probably that Republican effort to adjourn the house of representatives for five weeks was Intended as a "strategic retreat.” After the next election Republicans in congress may experience the high cost of living down their record of legislative failure. If there was a luxury tax on language Republican attacks on the league of nations might be somewhat profitable. There is a big quarrel among Republicans as to the best way to avoid doing their duty.

FORMER SHERIFF A. IF. Aim NOW ENDORSES IANEIt

Prominent Hooeton Man Says “Money Could Not JBjiy the Good It Has Done Me.” “Money couldn’t buy the good Tanlac has done me, and I gladly recommend it for what it has done in my case,” said Hon. Archie R. Anderson of 'Houston, ex-sheriff of Harris county, Texas, recently. Mr. Anderson is unquestionably not only one of the best known but one of the most popular men that ever held public office in the “Lone Star Stated’ After serving as deputy sheriff of Harris county office for 15 consecutive years. Four years ago Mr. Anderson declined reelection and retired to private life. He cast hie lot among the people of of Houston. He had occupied this office only a short time when the sheriff of Harris county died. Mr. Anderson’s friends persuaded him to make the race for the unexpired ter& of sheriff, to which he was easily elected. He was honored with re-election seven times and served the people in this important office for 15 years. Four years ago Mr. Anderson declined re-elec-tion and retired to private life. He cast his lot among the people of Houston ajid is a large property owner and foremost citizen of this interesting and prosperous city. “I was in a run-down condition,’’ continued Mr. Anderson, “and had no appetite at all. I could hardly sleep at night and never felt like getting up in the mornings, I was so tired. I had the worst form of indigestion, suffering all the time from gas on my stomach and was continually belching up undigested food. I had to take my coffee without sugar, as when I drank it with sugar I would just belch for hours. I would bloat and swell up like I was poisoned and suffered with neuralgic pains of the worst sort, and nothing seemed to help me only in a temporary way. I Just can’t tell you how I did suffer for the past four years and up to the time I began taking Tanlac, a few weeks ago.

“When I read the testimonials of. some who had been relieved of troubles like mine I just felt like I couldn’t make a mistake by taking Tanlac, and it has done me even more good than I had expected. I began to feel better after taking my first bottle and have just now started on my third, and I’m a different man already. I sleep like a log now and eat just anything and everything I want without the slightest discomfort afterwards. I am glad to endorse Tanlac becanise it does the work and I’m telling all my friends just what I’m telling you. I never felt better in> my life than I do since taking Tanlac. I am willing for you to publish imy statement and let every suffering person, who may wish, benefit by my experience with this great medicine.” Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck. —Advt.
