THEY FEAR THE CONSEQUENCES

Republican Senators who participated in the killing of the treaty of peace wibh Germany are not comfortable in their minds- Most of them are obviously uneasy, not to say fearful. Their speech and bearing are not those of men who have lately performed a patriotic duty such as they pictured their

defeat of the pact to be a few weeks ago. Rather is their demeanor that of those who, charged with an offense against the public welfare, far from glorying in their act, resort to the tactics of defense. Senator Knox denounced the treaty as “harsh and cruel’’ to the German people. Yet Mr. Knox now proposes that it be ratified in every provision—and in haste. Senator Lodge contends that the treaty is dead, but he shows signs that either its ghost haunts himi or that he fears its revivification at any moment. Senator Lenroot protests—too much —that it was a bad treaty, a conspiracy against American independence, but is careful to claim no credit for destroying the monstrous evil he describes to his countrymen. On the contrary, he seeks to locate the blame for its death upon Democratic Senators. If this treaty was “harsh and cruel”; if it was dangerous to America; if it is deservingly dead, why do Republican Senators mouth excuses and defenses for having salved their country from the menace? Why not take pride in their deeds? Why not ask, as of right, the approbation of the people?

mind him of the griVe accusations lodged against him in a federal court- He knows _tbat vsitcrs in the galleries are pointing him out as a member whose right to be a Senator is to be tested by a criminal prosecution. Yet he continues there, in the face of all past practice and present reasons for remaining away. Truman H. Newberry must feel that Michigan needs him more than it needs observance of propriety. Some one has estimated that the Republican Congress uttered a total of 14,000,000 words in the course of the special session. About twice that many will be required to explain why nothing was accomplished in seven months’ time. The supreme court has decided that only the President can declare the war is ended. Some Republican Senators who thought Congress had that authority are as deficient as lawyers as Senator Moses is as a doctor. Republican organs are promising that the regular session of the G. O- P. Congress will be an improve ment on the special session. The regular session may be only half as long ts the sttcial session.

THEY ARE GETTING IN A HOLE

In Sudden Interest In Irish Freedom Claims. Republican politicians of the Lodge, Watson, New and Goodrich type, being tickled almost to death over what they considered to be a great opportunity to steal the Irish vote bodily from the wicked Democrats, literally fell on the neck of “President tie Valera of “the Irish Republic” and wept salty tearsThey received him “officially’’ as the real President of a real Irish Republic introducing him and addressing him as “Mr. President.” The sincerity of the Republican leaders toward the Irish voter will, within a few days, undergo a real, though to them wholly unexpected, test, when it comes to a Republican congress going on record by their votes on a bill introduced last week in the house of representatives by Congressman “Billy” Mason, of Illinois. This bill proposes an appropriation by congress of funds to pay an Ambassador from this country to the “Irish Republic.” Already these same Republican leaders are squirming like worms fearing they will- be called upon to vote on this bill, when, of course, they would vote “no” and thereby show the insincerity of their pretended great friendship for the Irish voter, whom all of them all their political lives have given the go-by on all occasions. * Take my word for it—these same Republican leaders will never permit this bill to come out of the committee, where it now is, to the floor df the house where it would have to be voted upon openly. All this recent display of fondness for the Irish race on the part of the Republicans is simply rot, pure bosh atod the course of* this bill through the Republican congress will prove it.

Judge Cdhalan of New York, a real (not a professional) Irishman, Is dead next to the Republican leaders in trying to alienate the Irfkb vote from the Democratic party and he and Bourke Cochran, former member of Congress, are appearing before Congress in behalf of the bill in an attempt to make these same Republican leaders “fish or cut bait" with the Irish question. The Republican party is simply gasping over the tremendously deep hole they have gotten into and after they have effectually smothered the bill in committee the lame excuses they will offer will make every Irish voter laugh in derision. Judge Cohalan and Burke Cochran are not fools and by pressing this matter to a show down before a Republican Congress they will simply be unmasking a cheap bunch of hypocrites. Let the good work go on! —Tippecanoe County Democrat.

CREED OF FIVE POINTS GIVEN

John T. Brown of Monon Speaks at Muncie Meeting of Farmers. Muncie, Ind., December 23. — . “Surely the bread producers—the ‘bread miners’ of this country also must be well organized if they are to stand in competition with organized capital and organized labor in passing through these trying times,’’ said John T. Brown, president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' Associations, in an address to 600 members of the Delaware County Farmers’ association last week. Mr. Brown explained the farmer’s creed of five points, and said that if it were put into general practice it would “bring a day of safety and good will to the country.” These points, he said, were those that the farmers’ associations must consider in putting their orgamdzed work into effect and include the commercial, economic, legislative and the home economics factors and a patriotic principle. “The commercial factor is the first seen by the farmers and by spectators of our work,” said the speaker, “but it is secondary to some of the others. The war made the farmer self-conscious, in that he first realized the essential nature of his business, his importance as a factor in the life of the It taught him, too, more about soil fertility and increased his knowledge of how to produce more and better crops. The war was a great educating factor for the farmer.

“The war also caused him to realize the power of organization and need of leadership. Now he has taken up the problems of salesmanship, of transportation and of buying. “As to the economic factor, we are facing vast expenditures in road and bridge building under state and federal supervision and appropritations and great dangers as well as great benefits loom large in these things. The farmers more than any other class are interested in good roads. “The legislative factor does not imply special legislation nor class legislation, so far as the farmer is concerned, but equity in all legislation. The tax problem is one of vital interest to the farmer. One of the fundamental objects of the farmers’ organization is the betterment of his home. The farmer must learn all he can about home economics. “Important as are all these other things in the farmer’s life there is nothing so important as patriotism. The farmer’s record is clear on that point. If the farmers organize for their own protection and benefit they will believe in the responsibility of such an organization to all other classes and will answer to them for the things they do.” The Delaware County Association has nearly 2,000 members and is one of the largest in? the stats.

WANTED TO LICK TEACHER

Naval Man Came Back to Avenge Former Wrongs—Police Got There First. Portland, Ore. —Neal Campbell, eight years ago, was eleven years old. He attended the Falling grammar school In Portland. And Neal threw spitballs In the classroom. One hit Marjorie Brown. The ten-year-old girl cried. H. J. Boyd, the principal, investigated the cause of her grief. And, as a result. Principal Boyd applied the traditional birch rod to the alleged culprit. Neal grew to young manhood and left Portland. He enlisted In the navy. But the Intervening years and war service didn’t obliterate Neal’s recollection of the licking administered by Principal Boyd. So when Neal returned to Portland he planned to gratify an eight-year-old desire to lick his former teacher. He walked into the Failing school and announced his intention. But the. city schools have telephones. So has the police station. Just as Neal was about to get revenue the cops arrived on the scene and blasted all hlfi fond hopes. Campbell returned to his ship at Bremerton with the avowed intention of returning some day to “get even” with Principal Boyd. He says he won’t announce what he Intends to do the next time.

MERCY FOR “HELL FIGHTERS”

Yanks Who Stole Army Shirts From New York Base Get Off With Ten Days. New York.—Sergt. Arthur Holliday of the “Hell Fighters,” who lives at 157 West 147th street, Manhattan, winner of the French cross of war, was spared a long term in prison because of his war record when he pleaded guilty before Federal Judge Chatfield to stealing supplies from the army base at Fifty-eighth street, Brooklyn. Abraham Gillard, also a veteran of the negro regiment, of 90 Prince street, the first man to enlist under Colonel Hayward, was in court on a similar complaint. Judge Chatfield sentenced Holliday to ten days In jail, the term he had been in the Raymond street jail, and promised similar punishment for Gillard when he Is sentenced October 20. The men stole a couple of army shirts.

FIND BONES OF 32-FOOT GIANT

Natives of Mexican Village Who Cling to Ancient Traditions, Guard Remains as Sacred. Mexico City.—The fossilized remains of a giant measuring 32 feet 10 Inches In height were, according to report, recently discovered by workmen near the little village of Nanacamilpa, state of Vera Cruz. The natives, who still cling to many of the traditions of their Indian ancestors, declared the giant was related to the gods of their forefathers. They erected a catafalque In the plaza, on which the giant rested In state for many days, covered with flowers and at night carefully guarded. The discovery attracted the attention of scientists here. Mahuel Gamlo, director of anthropology at the National museum, expects to leave soon for Nanacamllph to investigate. He is inclined to believe the fossil is that of a prehistoric vertebrate not human.

PASTORS TAKE UP MINING

Welsh Clergymen, With Less Than SSOO a Year, Turning to Collieries. Cardiff.—lt was stated at the assembly of the Welsh Baptist union in Abera von that many Welsh nonconformist clergymen are receiving less than SSOO a year. Some of them recently left the ministry and went into coal mines, where they were able to earn four times as much. The speakers mentioned that there was now a serious shortage of clergymen, several churches being without them. ;
