THE PEACE PUZZLE

The more the proposal to make peace by “declaring” it is studied, the more ridiculous does it appear. Even many of those who favor this policy admit that peace can not be “made” in this way. Senator Lodge himself has admitted this. But suppose the resolution were passed and signed by the president. Before it could become effective, Germany would have to agree to carry out all the provisions of the treaty that affect this country, of a treaty that we have thus far repudiated by failing to ratify it. It is calculated that our claims against Germany aggregate in the neighborhood of SI,OOO,-

000,000. There is no assurance that ( she would comply with our “declara-.' tion.” It is almost certain that the German government would decline.. If it did, then It would be the duty of the president to impose a boy-1 cott. Here again is an attempt to do something that can not be done. I For duties can not be imposed on the president by congress; they are imposed only by the constitution, j The president might carry out the expressed will of congress in this matter, but he would be under no obligation to do so. Congress hav- ] ing taken into its hands the bust- j ness of making peace—or declaring it —he might well leave it to congress to finish the job. In contrast with the present folly, the words of Senator Colt of Rhode Island and a Republican, are enlightening: Peace has to be made. Terms have to be agreed upon. The common sense thing to do is to stay with our associates and to make with the common enemy the peace they made. If we permanently stay out of the league of nations, Instead of having the bulk of the world with us, we shall have 45 nations in the league all allied against us. Our Monroe doctrine will be gone, for the South American countries are going into the league. Our world leadership will be gone. The league safeguards the Monroe doctrine, and every nation that enters it by that very act agrees and consents to that doctrine. Nor should it be forgotten that Germany may at any time apply for admission to the league, and be admitted by a two-thirds vote of the assembly “provided that it shall give effective guaranties of its sincere intention to observe its international obligations, and shall accept such regulations as may be prescribed by the league in regard to its military, naval and air forces and armaments.’’ The German government might very well decide that association with 45 nations was greatly to be preferred to siich a peace with the United States as it is proposed to proffer.

To this controversy are two parties, and the only way to end that controversy is by agreement between the parties. Such an agreement has already been made, and it is for us to say whether it. shall go into effect. Senator Colt is entirely right when he says that “the common sense thing to do is to stay with our associates and to make with the common eneAy the peace they made.” The only alternative is to follow the example of him of whom it is said in Scripture that he is “a wild ass alone by The writhings of congress over this peace question are amusing to onlookers; they must be painful to the writhers. —Indianapolis News (Rep.) writhers. ***** There is no reason why there should' be —as it is said there is not —an interest in the absurd resolution now pending in the house the purpose of which is to “declare” that, peace exists. But the poim that desired to make is that congressmen are still thinking of peace in connection with the narrowest sort of politics. In a Washing-

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

ton dispatch printed recently in this paper it was said: Many of the Republicans in both senate and house are saying that the only purpose of the resolution is to camouflage the treaty situation; that the real object of the resolution is to give the majority an excuse for keeping hands off the treaty of peace for the time being. That is, “the only purpose” and “the real object” are purely political,

■1 COULD 1101 BO! GM® Peoria Woman Praises Tanlac for Ending Twenty-Five Years Trouble. “Now, since I have taken Tanlac I am in better health than I’ve been in twenty-five years,” said Mrs. Henrietta Shoup, who lives on Route No. 3 from Peoria, when she called at the Sutliff & Case Drug Store, the other day. Continuing Mrs. Shoup said: “If it hadn’t been for Tanlac I would not have been able to have made the trip into town today, and I feel so thankful for the good this medicine has done me that I have come, in the .store here now to tell you how I have been restored to complete health. • No, sir, a fortune couldn’t buy the good this medicine has done me. “Before I commenced taking Tanlac I had been in bad health for twenty-five years, and my condition had been getting worse all the time until I got to where I was in misery nearly all the time. My stomach was in an awful fix and nearly everything I ate soured and caused gas to form so bad that I thought I would smother at times. I would have terrible headaches, and I had such bad dizzy spells at times that [ couldn’t stand up. I was very nervous and restless and my sleep was broken, and I lost in weight until I looked almost like a frame. I had always taken pride in raising my own chickens and turkeys, but I was so broken’ down that 1 had to give it up entirely. “When I had almost given up all hope of ever being relieved of my suffering, a neighbor persuaded me into trying Tanlac, so I got a bottle. That one bottle did me more good than all the other things I had taken put together for the last twenty-five years. I was so encouraged that I kept right on taking Tanlac, and now today you can see for yourself what it has done me. I am seventy old but I am in the best of health, have a splendid appetite and am never troubled, one bit with my stomach. The headaches and dizzy spells have all left me, and' I am not nervous or restless and can sleep fine every night. My strength has come back and I have gained in weight. I Just feel so fine that I am simply overjoyed at my recovery.” ' / Tanlac is sold in Rensselaer by Lt.rsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfield by Simon Fendig.—Advt.

and the aim is to win a party advantage at the expense of the public interest. Such, at any rate, is the view of “many of the Republicans in both senate and house.” We shall never get ahead with this business of making—not "declaring”— peace until we are prepared to deal with it on the basis of patriotism rather than partisanship. Unfortunately we are called on to consider this great question, and the vital issues that grow out of it, in a presidential year, when the temptation is so great to subordinate everything to the election of a president. But nevertheless here is a great world problem to be faced —and solved. It can not be got out of the way, or evaded. The treaty Itself, every one now sees, is not disposed of, the recent action of the senate having settled nothing. Senator Lodge informed the country last November, after the senate had failed to ratify, that the treaty was dead. But it was not dead then, nor is it dead now. Nor can it be "camouflaged" by the pending resolution, or anything else. It is doubtful whether that resolution can pass the senate; it is certain that it would, if it reached him, be vetoed by the president. We are merely trifling with a situation that is serious, and may become dangerous. If we could, to quote the words of Chairman Hays, regard everything but ratification “as chores” we should soon have a peace that would amount to something.—lndianapolis News.

25 YEARS FOR SEVEN I. W. W.

Sentence Pronounced on Men Convicted for Armistice Day Rioting. Montesano, Wash., April 8. —The seven men convicted here Meh. 13 of second degree murder for the slaying of Warren O. Grimm of Centralia, Armistice day parade victim, were sentenced to not less than 25 years nor more than 40 years ehch in the state penitentiary, by Judge John M. Wilson, after he had denied a defense motion for a new trial.

He said he regarded the cases against all the’ men as identical. Loren Roberts, whom the jury found insane, was ordered sent to the criminal insane ward at the state penitentiary. The seven sentenced to 25 to 40 years imprisonment were: C. C. Bland, Bert B’and, John Lamb, Eugene Barnett, James Mclnerney, Ray Becker and Britt Smith. The defense attorney took exception to the sentence .and gave notice of appeal.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(Co. Supt. Sterrett) The board of education met Mon day in the office of the county superintendent but was unable to transact legal business owing to the lack of a quorum. Bowie of Wheatfield, Duggleby of Kankakee, Fairchild of Keener, Postill of Marion, Rush of Newton and Huff of Jordan were present. The board resolved itselt into a committee to act upon a recommendation from Purdue university of a young man by .the name of Mahorton, who applied for Mi. Learning’s position as county agricultural agent. The committee was assisted by Frank Welsh of Jordan and Russel Van Hook of Marion. The latter were drafted unsolidtously to represent the farmers. It was the impression of this committee that the young man be selected. A recommendation was made that Mr; Mahorton remain over until Wednesday when the president called a special meeting for 10 a. m. that day. State Supt. L. N. Hines will deliver the commencement address at Fair Oaks Wednesday night, April 21. Music for the occasion will come from Indianapolis. Fair Oaks is planning to give a program for this commencement that outdoes any school function that has been held in their building. Eleven eighta grade pupils from various parts of Union township have enrolled there. They are Loretta Lockard, Alice Kiersma, Dean Zellers, Ivan Cedarwall, Lester Ogle, Agnes Cedarwall, Roy Gunyon, Ora Whited, Alva Whited, Hazel Lowman and Edith Sanders.

There were a number of the eighth grade applicants on the diploma examination who passed. The highest general average was made by Joseph L. Wuethrich of the Fairview school in Gillam township taught by Alpha E. Kerlin. The second highest average was made by Alice Sayers of the Oak Grove school in Walker township taught by Betty Royster. The former made an average of 93.1% and the latter 90.8%. About 45% of the applicants passed the examination in March free of conditions. The next examination will be held April 17. a The Jasper county board of education met in special session Wednesday on a call of the president to consider an application from D. M. Mawhorter of Noble county for the position of county agricultural agent. The following members of the board were present: Porter of Carpentei, Lefever of Gillam, Poole of Hanging Grove, Huff of Jordan, Fairchild of Keener, Postill of Marion, Wood ot Milroy, Rush of Newton, Harrington of Union and Bowie of Wheatfield. The board re-established its reputation for debating ability. The newly elected county agricultural agent heard those opposed to his position

in terms free from sugar-coated camouflage. Everything was openly and fearlessly attacked by Porter, Harrington, Bowie, Poole, Postlll, Rush and Fadrdhlld. After the stormy atmosphere cleared the chair closed the discussion and called for motions. Rush of Newton moved that Mr. Mawhoyter be employed by the beard for the rest •of the year at $2,000 salary and $740 expense money. The motion was seconded by Fairchild of Demotte. The secret ballot was demanded and the results gave six favoring- the selection and four against. Should the entire board have been present it would mean a gamble as the outcome of the vote. Duggleby of Tefft was in favor of an agent, but no one knows the sentiment of Davisson and Pettet. Their presence might have changed the vote very materially. The last township institutes in Jasper county for this year will be held this month at Wheatfield, next Saturday, and at South Marlon consolidated Saturday, April 17. The schools at Fair will close Friday, April 23. On Wednesday the high school will give their commencement at Fair Oaks and an honorable position will be given to the eighth grade pupils who were promoted or graduated from the common branches.
