SENATE AND PEACE MAKING

The Indianapolis News (Republican) places the responsibility for the delay in the peace pact directly where it belongs—on the United States senate, with its bunch of Republican obstructionists of the Lodge, Borah et al type. The News says: It is a curious thing that those •who criticised the president for assuming to exercise powers that did | not belong to him should now ask that he by mere executive proclamation declare that, as far as the United States is concerned, the greatest war of history is over. As the war-making power is with congress, congress surely has some duty in connection with the making of peace. On the conclusion of other wars we have Indeed had a partial peace prior to the treaty •agreement. There have been preliminary treaties, and protocols under which peaceful relations were partly established. But even in these cases real and legal peace did not come till the final act. This war is very different from others in which we have been engaged, since it is the only one except that of the revolution which we have fought in alliance or association with other nations. The interests involved are many and complicated, and relations as they existed before the war can hardly be re-established until they are defined in a general treaty. The president, therefore, would assume u very grave responsibility in assuming to declare that 'peace existed both as a matter of law and fact. Nor should this country make peace separately. We are under obligations to the nations with which we are associated in the war. Peace Is, as was war, a joint matter. We fought in a common cause, and that common cause is yet to be secured. The way to peace lies through prompt action on the treaty. When that is agreed to, and the other nations express their satisfaction with the form of ratification, it will be the duty of the president to declare that the treaty is in force, and that peace exists. The responsibility now rests on the senate. Thai it will act wisely, patriotically, and with promptness, is the hope of all.

MOROCCO

(From the Courier) C. M. Martin drove to Rensselaer Monday evening and was accompanied hoime by his son Harry, who underwent an operation for appendicitis there two weeks ago. The young man is recovering nicely and feels fine. Dr. and Mrs. D. K. Spitler of South Bend and Miss Mary Kessler of Washington, D. C., came to ‘attend the annual family reunion. Dr. Spitler returned to South Bend Tuesday, his wife remaining for a more extended visit. .. • Chicken theieves raided the roost of Orville Edwards, Just west of towd, about 9 o’clock Saturday night and stole about three dozen hens. There were a large number of spring chickens on the place and same of them might have been taken and not missed, but this is not known. , Miss Gladys Stockton has been (recommended by the Newton County Farm Bureau to attend the Home Economics school at the state fair in Indianapolis the week of August 28 to Sept. 6. Each county in the state is priviliged to send one student to the school, all expenses of which are paid by the state excepting $lO paid by the farm bureau. Last Saturday a deal was closed whereby Frank Beagley purchased Elmer Skinner’s 200 acre farm two miles west of Enos in McClellan township. The consideration was given at $12,000. This is one of the best improved farms in northern Newton county and is Ideally situated, There is a splendid house and barn, cement sidewalks and electric lighting plant. Mr. Beagley will probably rent the placp for a few years at least. The annual reunion of the Kessler and Goddard family was held here Sunday, and was a most enjoyable affair. The weather was Ideal and 129 relatives and frtendis were present to partake of the bounteous feast, a number of them being from a distance. One remarkable fact was that during the past year not a single death from in-
