MR. LODGE’S TRIUMPH?

The Lodge treaty of nullification has been killed, the treaty of Ver•‘sailles still lives, though passion and* partisanship and the spirit of revenge have prevented, for this session of congress at least, its ratification and by the United States, says the New York Times, commenting on the actiop taken by the senate. It will be put into effect by the other signatories, leaving this country without its benefits, standing before the world as the one nation that refuses to sanction measures for the prevention of war. We shall not long remain in that shameful position. The treaty must be called into existence, the United States must join the other nations in

sanctioning the agreement reached at Versailles, in the league for peace. As the hour for nullifying the president’s work approached the splendid discipline of the Repubcan party asserted itself. The scruples and compunctions of tht "mild reservationists’’ gave way, they put themselves altogether under the leadership of Mr. Lodge. The senators of the "battalion of death’’ did not desert their party when they voted, 13 of them, against the Lodge resolution and reservations. They voted to destroy the treaty, and that is precisely what the 35 Republicans who supported Mr. Lodge’s treaty voted for. Forty-two Democrats, Mr. Hitchcock’s entire band of loyal supporters, voted as the (president desired, "against the Lodge resolution of nullification,’’ hoping in that way to prepare the way for saving the Versailles treaty. The country will not for an instant be in doubt as to the responsibility. Who has supported the treaty of Versailles from the moment of it's submission to the senate, who has tolled and striven for its ratification? Who has opposed ratification, who has piled Ossas and Pelions of obstruction across its pathway, who has engrafted upon it reservations that blast and destroy it? When we say who we mean which party. An observing people will judge, hS.§ judged. It has a work of blind partisan recklessness, done in callous disregard of the need and the suffering of nations and of millions of men who will have to bear their burdens unrelieved until, with the establishment of conditions of peace, works of mercy and upbuilding can be undertaken. It is a fearful responsibility that the enemies of the treaty and of peace have taken upon themselves.

OWN ERA.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

"The Great Desire’’ is this: "By every contact I realize that the common expectation is of an earth transformed by this war.” We may fail to realize our expectation—and this is quite likely—but surely we dare not deny or disown it, or model our policy on the theory that it was not once a reality. Wise and brave men who have noble and gallant expectations always seek to realize them, and never let go their hold of them. Those who are now sinking back into the old cynicism, applauding —when thrown on the screen—the . old warnings against entanglement 1 In European affairs which have no more applicability than warnings qgalnst the use of steam as a mo 4 tive power, and pleading for a policy of isolation which would have 1 kept us out of the war altogether, need to remember their own state of mind when the German rush was broken at Chateau Thierry. When our wonderful army swept through the Argonne and, in compand with the British, crashed through the Hindenburg line, we all felt that the way was being paved, not for an American, but a world victory over Germany. That was the thought that was uppermost in every one’s mind. As nation after nation came into the war, it became clear that Germany was the enemy of mankind. We were fighting a system, a phllisophy of life, a culture that were believed to be a menace to humanity. We were filled with gratitude to Great Britain and France for their gallant stand against the peril, and understood that they were fighting our battle. Their cause was our cause, because it was a world cause. Well, the war was won, but tha. world victory was the crown of a world cause. And now the question is whether we shall take ourselves out of the world, and come out on the side of Germany. Astonishing as It may seem, there are some who talked very bravely during the war, who now advocate precisely that course. Perhaps they are past the reach of argument, but it may be that they are not beyond the reach of their own memoriee. They knew and they often said it,' that the world was being attacked, and was in the grawest peril. Is it yet safe? Is its great cause won? Is its victory finally clinched? dearly s the world war must end with a world peadb. We did not fight to make France safe, to give her Alsace-Lorraine, or even to make democracy safe. But we did sight ■ to make humanity safe, and were pledged to put our mighty power, not only in the fighting line, but into the reorganization of the world In order that it might enjoy that peace and safety that our efforts had done so much to bring within the field of our vision. As it was the world war against Germany then, so it is the world against Germany now. We wonder If Senator Lodge Is not often haunted by his own great swords, and whether those who are now for

holding aloof do not occasionally thrill at their own old and splendid conception of America as the saviour of the world- —Indianapolis News (Rep.) One of the most Important provisions of the peace covenant is that having to do with a reduction of armaments. This is something that men have beyn hoping and working for for many years. It was the dream of The Hague conferenced Everyone understands that nations can not (maintain mighty armies and navies without making war almost certain. With the revival of the old imperialistic spirit in Germany other nations, apart from a league, will be forced to arm. The covenant expressly provides for a limitation of armaments, binds the signatory powers to discourage the private manufacture of arms and munitions, and (pledges them to give to one another full information as to military programsThis is one of the most vital articles of Xhe covenant. But it woulfl fall to the ground if the United States should refuse to enter the league.’ With this government free to arm as heavily as it chose, and subject to no restraint, no other government would dare to limit its armaments. The limitation policy can never be put into effect except by the concurrent action of all the great powers. To defeat the league covenant, therefore, would be to start again the race for military and naval supremacy.

One of the criticisms of the peace covenant is based on the claim that it makes no provision for an international court. But it at least opens the way to it. For Article 14 provides that “the council shall formulate and submit to the members of the league for adoption plans for the establishment of a permanent court of international justice.” It will be the duty of this court “to hear and determine any dispute of an international character which the parties thereto submit to it,” and it, “may also give an advisory opinion upon any dispute or question referred to it by the council or by the assembly.” No court would be worth anything that was established by a league of which America was not a member. Here, then are two great blessings which those who would kill or greatly weaken the covenant propose to throw away. It is even doubtful whether the treaty itself could be enforced against Germany were the United States to refuse to be a party to it- This is the feeling in Germany, as shown by a correspondent of the New York Sun, a paper bitterly hostile to the covenant.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS

On the eve of adjourning the special session of congress there was much basts in the house of representatives to pass bills which had been before that branch for five or six months, though there was no prospect, even if there had been the wish, to have them adopted by thp senate. It was a trick to give the people the impression that the Republican legislators are busy with *the public needs.

The Republican managers are said to fear the Introduction of the league of nations as an issue in the presidential campaign. They may well fear. The voters can be expected to remember for at least 10 months. By passing the railroad bill in the house of representatives the Republican leaders in congress hope to avoid a collision with the shippers and employes, but they have only switched the question into the senate. Republican enemies of the treaty in tile United States will learn during the next campaign that by prolonging the war they have confronted their party’s condldates with i battle for life. The one just closed was indeed an extraordinary session of congress. It was extraordinary both in point of its opportunities and its failures. The g. o. p. has been trying very hard to make an issue—and has succeeded. Its own incompetency in congress has furnished it. When the soldiers begin fighting again the Republican party will understand and appreciate the feelings of Mr. Von Hindenburg. \

Every farmer who owns his farm ought to have printed stationery with his name and the name of his postoffice properly given. The printed heading might also give the names of whatever crops he specializes In or his specialities in stock. Neatly printed stationery gives you a personality and a standing with any person or firm to whom you write and Insures the proper reading of your name and address. ts

The Democrat has just made an advantageous purchase of a large amount of hood papers, ruled goods, envelopes and other job stock that enables it to offer its customers some very acceptable bargains in letterheads, plain, bond and linen finish; statement and bill heads; envelopes in plain and bond, regular business and legal (No. 10) sixes, in white and colors. Considering the fact that the prices of paper of all kinds are still going skyward, you should avail yourself of this opportunity, if in need of anything in the commercial printing line, and get the work done at the old prices.
