THE TREATY FAILS
The resolution consenting to the ratification of the treaty failed of adoption in the senate yesterday for lack of a two-thirds majority, the vote being 49 for and 35 against. Twenty-eight Republicans and 21 Democrats voted in the affirmative, and 12 Republicans and 23 Democrats in the negative. After rejecting the treaty, the senate adopted a resolution sending it back to the president with the information that ratification could not be accomplished. Thus, we are informed, the treaty goes into the campaign as an issue. As a matter of fact it has been there from the start. For it has been dealt, with wholly on the basis of the pettiest partisan politics. There never has been a time when Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, was at heart in favor of the treaty. He began his fight against it even before it had come into being. His famous round robin, the
To All Users of Binder Twine As binder twine has been high for the past two years it has worked a hardship on the farmets as well as the merchants. For this reason we have concluded tc conduct our twine business on a different plan this year. To all of our customers in Jasper county who place their orders for the amount of twine they will want Jor the coming harvest and will take the twine from the car the day it arrives and pay cash for same we agree to handle this twine for 50c per hundred over the wholesale cost f. o. b. Rensselaer, Indiana. If you should order twine direct in 1,000 to 5,000-pound lots you would pay more than the 50c that we charge for handling. There is more than 50c per hundred difference in a 30,000-pbund car and small shipments. There is also one-half less freight in car-, load shipments than in local shipments, therefore if you will co-op-erate with us you reap the most benefit. We have two reasons for selling twine this way: FIRST —We want to serve our customers who have stood by us for these years that we have been in business. SECOND —As we soil the Machines that use the twine we are interested In selling first-class twine in order that the machines may work in a satisfactory manner. v s \ ' You can have your choice of Deering or McCormick twine. Deering is put up in 81-3-pound balls. , Deering and McCormick Twines are considered the highest grade twines on the market. We are booking orders every day and, we would like for you to attend to this at once and let us have your order for your needs for thia harvest In case you fall to get your order In in time we will have twine on hand In our warehouse but will be compelled to charge you 1c more per pound to pay for handling.

packing of the foreign relations committee, and the senator’s satisfaction with the failure to ratify last November as revealed in his statement “the treaty is dead,” sufficiently indicate his attitude. He and his immediate followers used the irreconcilables to carry reservations objectionable to the Democrats —and Indeed to the real friends ot the treaty—and to defeat reservations that might have won Democratic support. There has been the closest co-operation between the Republican leader, supposed to be favorable to the treaty, and those Republicans known to be hostile to it. And the combination, has been effective. The outstanding fact is that the great effort to organize the world on the basis of peace has been de stroyed and brought to naught by men who were unable to rise above the lowest level of partisan politics. Men who might have been supposed to have some vision have been swayed by the smallest motives, and have utterly failed to see the vast issues that were involved. The nation has been humiliated in the eyes of the world, and' almost set in antagonism to its friends and associates in the war. Peace yet waits, and everything is left uncertain and unsettled. The heart of the world may not be broken, but the heart of America has been saddened. The treaty is, we believe, dead, and the league of nations, as far as this country is concerned, a dream. Into the politics of the situation we do not care to go. It is enough today to reflect on the great loss that the nation has sustained.—lndianapolis News. A
CUMMINGS SAYS G. O. P. WASTE TOTALS MILLIONS
Praises Democratic Conduct of the War at Dinner of Party Leaders at Louisville. Louisville, Meh. 19. —Wasteful expenditure to $2,000,000 for “smelling committees” was charged against the Republican majority in the congress by Homer S. Cummings, chairman of the Democratic national committee, in an address here last night
THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT
at a dinner attended by Democratic of Kentucky. “The committees,” Chairman Cummings said, “were appointed to ascertain whether there had been any graft in the conduct of the world war but instead ‘demonstrated that this was the cleanest war ever fought in the history of civilization.’ “Thd finger of scorn does not point to one single Democratic official in all of broad America,” added Mr. Cummings. “I want to remind you that it does not lie in the mouths of those who conducted the Spanish-, American war to indulge in the luxury of criticism. What is there in this war to compare with the typhoid Infested camps of the war of 1898, what is there in this war to compare to the paper sole controversy of 1898; and what is there in this war to compare to the embalmed beef scandal of the SpanishAmerican war? “We have fought a great war for a great cause, and we have had a leadership which has carried America to greater heights of glory and power and splendor and honor than she has ever known before in her entire history. “The Republicans have now been in control of the senate and the house for eight months. They went in under false pretenses. They outlined an elaborate program of reconstruction that looked very well in the newspapers. They have, not only delayed and indefinitely postponed the peace of the world, interfered with American commerce and brought the rate of exchange tumbling down to a point hitherto unknown; but, aside from railroad legislation of doubtful value, they have not passed one single constructive act. “Had a Democratic congress been elected, or a congress in sympathy with the president, treaty ot peace would long ago have been ratified. Innumerable avenues of trade and commerce would have been opened to*American enterprise and halted industry would have taken on new and hopeful life.” Mr. Cummings characterized the Republican platform as "a most unusual conglomeration of political misfits.”
KILKENNY CATS STILL LOOSE
“Hi” Johnson After G. O. P. Political Machine Manipulators. Senator Hiram W. Johnson will fight bossism and machine operations with all of his old-time vigor in his campaign for the presidency, according to a letter received Tues--day by Zell C. Swain, Indiana campaign manager, from Angus McSween, Johnson’s eastern manager. Mr. McSween voices displeasure over the manner in which delegates to the Republican national convention were selected in New \ork. “The operations of the machine are becoming more apparent every day,” says Mr. McSween’s letter. “Delegates came here a few weeks ago to attend an unofficial state convention. They were called upon to indorse four men for delegates at large, previously nominated by the ‘organization.’ The delegates to this unofficial convention themselves had no voice in the selection of the Big Four/ The ‘Big Four’ were simply shoved down the party’s throat by the machine, and the party is expected to swallow the dose and like it. - ‘‘The district delegates are of the same hand-picked sort, who can be ‘delivered’ at this 1920 convention just as they have been delivered in the past. “We have been advised by members of the organization not to make a fight in New York by running delegates of our own. Is there any other way by which we can obtain an expression of the public sentiment, which we feel certain is behind Senator Johnson’s candidacy? “Senator Harding’s campaign manager in a recent interview said that about 2 o’clock on Friday afternoon of the convention week a group of perhaps 20 men will gather around a table in a private room and somebody will say: ‘Well, who are we going to nominate?’ And right then the nominee will be chosen. “In other words, it is practically conceded that 20 men will pick the nominee, and not the convention that is supposed to represent the will of the party as’ a whole. To me this is a shameful confession of machine domination of party affairs.” —lndianapolis Star.

Tears of joy and tears of sorrow came to the eyes of wives of the defendants in the courtroom as the last of the 17 names were read. Eyes of many of the men were red as they filed slowly out of the courtroom. Senator Newberry later issued the following statement: “There Is nothing In the jury’s
verdict that will cause me to hang my head. Until my conscience and the supreme court decides that 1 have wronged the people of Michigan, I will retain my seat in the United States senate.”

very common among the little tots to compare “well” as well, worse, worst. Some as well, weller, wellest. Still others as well, more well, most well. ' The eighth grade pupils In the rural districts In Union township will enter the eighth grade class at Fair Oaks next Monday. Most of the rur&l schools will close next Friday or Saturday in that township. The continuation of the schools at Fair Oaks for another month makes it possible for them to get into that school and be promoted with the regular eighth grade there. A greater part of the teachers in the rural districts in Union township will soon be in attendance at Muncie, Terre Haute, Bloomington, etc., where they are preparing for the coming year. Gladys Ogle will probably attend at Mrs. Blakers’ in Indianapolis. Jessie and Elsie Zellers will return to Terre Haute. William May, who had been teaching the Center school in Wheatfield township, has resigned to begin other work. Richard Bowie has consented to finish the term for him.
- Automobiles - March 23, 1920. Dear Sir: Would you wait three months for a Hudson Super-Six? Thousands of persons have done so or have paia premiums for prompt delivery many times during the past three years. This is the exact situation today: Production of the Super-Six was to have stopped on Jan. 1. Then, um expectedly, the ban against manufacturing was lifted. Orders for closed cars remained to be filled, however, and no more open models can be built for some months. We have on hand just a few open cars. When these are gone you will hqve to wait until the factory resumes full production which will not be much before June. Super-Six production has never been equal to the requirements and the shortage this year promises to be greater than ever before. So the only way you can insure delivery of your car when you want it is to buy now. / Very truly yours, HUGH KIRK.
