VANISHING LEADERSHIP

The Republican leadership in. the senate,, much more than in the tiouee or anywhere else, has been intrusted by events with the task of preparing the Republican presidential campaign of 1920. It has chosen to make the peace treaty the issue, so far as it lies in the power of >any organized political body to telbthe people what shall be the issue. At the present moment it seems evident that this leadership has made great mistakes, that it has failed to present its chosen issue in any way satisfactory to the people, and that it has rent asunder its own party, says the New York Times in an editorial appraisal of the political effects of the present fight in the senate. The vote on the Fall amendments plainly showed that Senator Lodge cannot control his own party and that Senators MoCumber and Me-

WORLAND BROTHERS Furniture and Undertaking . . AMBULANCE SERVICE . .

Nary come nearer to speaking with the authentic voice of Republicanism than he does. He renders thanks to high heaven for having been able to collect 30 votes for the Fall amendments. If this makes him thankful, then he is a true descendant of those early Puritans who celebrated Thanksgiving day even when the crops had failed and ” the Indians were warring against them. From the beginning the rival leaders, Lodge and Hitchcock, have made contrasting and irreconcilable claims about their strength. The vote on the Fall amendments shows that up to date, at least, Mr. Hitchcock was much nearer the truth. It leaves Mr. Lodge congratulating himself that he could muster 30 votes. There are other votes to come, but the showing ons this initial test will tend to inspire confidence in Mr. Hitchcock’s statements and in his modest but forceful leadership. It will not tend greatly to Increase, or rather restore, confidence in the statesmanship and leadership of Senator Lodge, who has managed singularly to decrease himself in stature ever since the primogeniture of Republicanism passed from the hand of Theodore Roosevelt into his own. The west is against him, and we doubt if the east would express itself differently if it had a chance. His is a losing cause. Are we mistaken in thinking that Mr. Lodge’s real concern is not whether he can beat the peace treaty and the league of nations, but whether he can hold on to the state of Massachusetts, the state of David I. Walsh and Winthrop Murray Crane?

LODGE VERSUS LODGE

Nobody could have been more scandalized by a proposal to amend or reject a treaty of peace than was Henry Cabot Lodge in 1899, says the New York World. At that time Senator Lodge’s Republican colleague from Massachusetts was opposed to the treaty of peace with Spain which President

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

McKinley had negotiated, and many Democrats were against it because of the acquisition of the Philippines. There was the possibility that a minority of the senate would prevent the ratification of the treaty, and Senator Lodge was appalled at the possibility that the treaty might be rejected. “We must either ratify the treaty or reject it,” he said. “Suppose we reject the treaty, what follows?’’ This was his answer: Let us look at it practically. We continue the state of war, and every sensible man in the country, every business Interest, desires the re-establiehment of peace in law as well as in fact. At the same time we repudiate the president and his action' before the whole world, and the repudiation of the president in such a matter as this is, to my mind, the humiliation of the United States in the eyes of civilized mankind and brands us as a people incapable of great affairs or of taking rank where we belong as one of the greatest of the great world powers. This is what Henry Cabot Lodge thought on Jan. 24, 1899, about the kind of politics that Henry Cabot Lodge is playing with a treaty of peace in October, 1919. To continue:

The president cannot be sent back across the Atlantic in .the person of his commissioners, that in hand, to say to Spain with bated breath, “I am here in obedience to the mandate of a minority of onethird of the senate to tell you that we have been too victorious, and that you have yielded us too much and that I aim very sorry that I took the Philippines from you.” I do not think any American president would do that, or that any American would wish him to. But that is exactly what Senator Lodge now demands of President Wilson. He insists that the treaty must be so amended that it will be sent back to the peace congress, which means that it must be sent back to Germany and that the president imiust be sent back across the Atlantic, hat in hand, to ask Germany if it will make peace in accordance with the mandate of a minority of one-third of the senate.

THE PRESIDENT’S GIFTS

As estimated in the gossip of the Republican cloak rooms of congress, the gifts received by President Wilson from the rulers and people of Europe were worth any sum between a vague “half a million” and a fmiore indefinite “several millions” of dollars. The immense valuation was placed on them by the partisans not as a measure of President Wilson’s popularity in Europe but as a spur to criticism of him at home. a Now the truth is revealed in the official list of the gifts and appraisement of their value—Which Intrinsically is rather small. It discloses that the Republican critics, including Senator Sherman and Representative Rodenberg, were as far from right' in their guesses on this subject as they are in

respect t<x other statements. The presents are neither so costly as the orators declared nor yet so cheap os these gentlemen must feel after having got the facts —against their will.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

Republican senators who want amendments to the treaty, Republican senators who want reservations but no amendments, Republican senators who want neither amendments nor reservations, and Republican senators who want no treaty at all, represent several kinds of harmony to be found In the Republican majority In the "greatest deliberative body In the world.” Coincident with the meeting of the industrial conference called by President Wilson, former Senator Bourne’s "Republican publicity bureau” begins to attack organized labor. Is this Republican auxiliary attempting to discredit the conference as it has endeavored to belittle the league of nations? Senator Sherman learned through “gossip in the cloak rootns” that the gifts received by President Wilson in Europe were worth “a half million of dollars.” Mr. Sherman apparently depends on "the gossip of the cloak rooms” for much of the substance of his speeches in the senate. Republicans in Massachusetts have notified Senator Lodge that they will not follow him to the length of defeating the treaty. In this yearning to be a great leader, Senator Lodge evidently got so far ahead of the Republican organization in his state that it couldn’t see him. Twenty weeks of the special session of congress under Republican auspices have been 20 weeks of empty and expensive chattering. The g. o. p. has given point to that old legislative formula, “met pursuant to adjournment.” We may soon see the Republican house of representatives passing a few bills. The "investigating” committees are preparing to pass a few large expense bills up to the treasury for payment.

COULDN’T RIDE ON THE STREET CARS Was Almost Nervous Wreck —Says Tanlac Is Worth Its Weight in Gold. “I would not take SI,OOO for the good Tanlac has done me,” taid ’»thur Baars, employed by tho Al 1waukee Paper Box Co-, and re a dins at 1207 Eighteenth St., Milwaukee, in tellitng the Tanlac representative of his improvement since taking the medicine. "Yes, sir, this medicine has put me in shape so I can do more work than I’ve been able to do before in yerfrs, and you can just tell the people I think it is worth its weight in gold,” continlued Mr. Baars, as he went on with his statement. "My trouble started throe years ago when I had a collapse caused by over-heat. I was down in beu three months from this spell, and it left me in an awful fix; in fact I became almost a nervous wreck. I couldn’t work regularly—was u.p one day anid down the next. Actually, I was so nervous I couldn’t ride on the street cars, and being in a crowd or amongst a little excitement would completely upset me, and I would shake like a leaf and it would take several days to get over it. I had such terriffle headaches at times my head felt like iron bands were tied around it. Some nights I would have to sit up in .bed amid get my wife to bathe my head to get a little relief, and many times I couldn’t get to sleep until four or five o’clock in the morning on account of these headaches and nervous spells. This is j , uet the shape I was in when one of the inaen at the shop suggested to me that J take Tanlac, and I agreed to do it, but I had little faith in it or any other medicine. “By the time the first bottle was gone the headaches had disappeared, and my nerves began to get steady. To make a long story short, this Tanlac made me feel like a different man, and now I haven’t a sign of nervousness or the other troubles that had been pulling me down for the past three years. I sleep fine, get up of mornings feeling refreshed and rested and ready for my day’s work. I eat three hearty meals every day —something I couldn’t do before —and what I eat agrees with me, and I am gaining in strength and weight every day. This Tanlac certainly beats anything I ever saw in my life.” Tanlac proved of great benefit to Mr. Baars because it contains certain medicinal properties which enrich' the blood and promote a healthy appetite for nourishing food. Tanlac has been very successful in overcoming nervousness and sleeplessness, not from a quieting effect on the nerves, for it has no such effect, but by strengthening the nerves and body and bringing the normal state of health through' its effect on the appetite and nutrition of the body. Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by, Frank L. Peck.—Advt. An armload of old papers for 5c at The Democrat office.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

(Continued from Page One)

agreed to make' the inspection and will be ably assisted by the Red Cross nurse and the teachers. It is to be hoped that the parents will co-operate as they did in the last inspection held two years ago. At that time the need for regular medical inspection was seen and much good came from that inspection. Primary Building. The general health of the pupils in the primary building is very good. Tonsilitis and colds seem to be the most prevalent diseases. A contrast of conditions this year and those of last year makes us very grateful indeed, that so far there has been no epidemic. „ Pupils of the primary building have submitted to the Print club various stories and compositions for publication in the first issue of the school paper. Mrs. Faye Brouhard and Miss Esther Wiseman, teachers in the Fair Oaks school, visited in our department Jast Friday afternoon. Other visitors during the past week were: Mrs. Sam Perkins, Mrs. Shepler, Mr. Canada, and Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hopkins. ••>*! Thomas Inkly, from Newton county, and Edwin Campbell, from Barkley township, have entered our fourth grade. The fifth grade pupils, chaperoned by Miss Woods and Miss Jordan, had a picnic -in Mackey’s grove Wednesday evening. School will not be in session Thursday and Friday, October 30 and 31, as those two days are set aside either for visiting the other schools or attending the State Teachers’ association at Indianapolis. While on his way home from school Tuesday noon, Leonard Jacks was run over by an automobile. His wrist was broken, in addition to being scratched and bruised. Teachers are most earnestly cautioning pupils about crossing the streets before approaching automobiles and it is hoped not only that parents will also emphasize this point, but that drivers of cars will observe strictly the "Drive Slow” notices posted in the school district.

—o — High School. The high' school football team added another victory last Saturday when it defeated the Watseka team. The team will play Logansport this Saturday and, although it may be a hard game, it expects to win. The team needs a bunch of rooters to give the members a little support not only for this game but for the remaining ones. There is 8 game at Remington November 8, at Kentland November 15, and then the big game Thanksgiving. The team is given two weeks in which to prepare to meet Momence, HL, here that day. The Momence team is a good match for ours. Let everyone make plans to celebrate this day by coming out to see the game. Americanization day was observed in the high school. Louis H. Hamilton gave a very interesting talk on Roosevelt. The high school is going to celebrate Armistice day, November 11, by having a program. Prof. R. H. Schaupp will give a talk on his experiences in France and Germany. The patrons are urged to attend this program. Watch for the first issue of the school paper. The first six weeks’ grades were given out Wednesday. The teachers are given next Thursday and Friday to visit schools or attend the State Teachers’ association. Miss Johnson will visit the schools in Chicago; Mr. Hadley will also visit Chicago schools; Mr. Shepler will visit at South Bend and Mishawaka while the rest of the faculty will go to the association. The junior class and the faculty had a very enjoyable time at a “marshmallow and weiner roast” held Thursday evening.

—o — Grammar Building. The attendance for this building has been very good this week. This has been a very busy week for Miss Sage and the Girls Scouts. Mr. Sauser has been helping alsq, Miss Miles’ room is getting ready for Hallowe’en. You ought to see the “goblins” in her room. Better watch out or they will get you. The seventh grade is having a test in writing today. Frances Myres, Paul Shafer and ' Albert Leavel were chosen as judges. The system of writing being taught is the Palmer method. The Rev. W. F. Barbre, of the Christian chufch, spoke to the pupils on “Americanization day.” This was a part of a regular program prepared for the day.' The children have responded very well for a small contribution to the Roosevelt memorial. We are hoping for a 100 per cent for each room. The report cards were given cut this week. In this building the rank of the three highest were as follows: Sixth Grade First, Jeanette Murphy. Second, Elizabeth Kresler. Third, Margaret Radcliff and Watson Fendig. Seventh Grade First, Helen Ranton. Second, Esther McColly. Third, Ross Cain. Eighth Grade First, Marjory Sprague. Second, Julia Randle. Third, Ellen Kresler. y
