A RIGHTEOUS VETO

The President yesterday, in a message restrained and temperate in tone, vetoed the Knox ( resolution designed as a substitute for- a peace treaty. As that resolution was wrong, and would have involved us in mhny complications, and perhaps in some perils, the veto is of necessity right. We decline to consider the question from the point of view of the effect of the President’s action in the presidential campaign. That. is a matter of minor importance. The words of the President are much less heated than those of Senator Lodge, spoken in December, 1918, on the very eve of the peace conference: We can not make peace in the ordinary way. We can not, in the Erst place, make peace except in company with our allies. It would brand us with everlasting dishonor and bring ruin to us, also, if we undertook to make a separate peace. Mr. Wilson refuses to “become party to an action which would place ineffaceable stain upon the gallantry and honor of the United States.” He and the Lodge of 1918 are, therefore, in substantial agree-

ment. But it is pointed out in the message how much would be left undone if the resolution should be adopted. It “seeks to establish peace with the German empire without exacting from tfie German gov ernment any action by way of setting right the infinite wrongs which it did to the peoples when it attacked and whom we professed it our purpose to assist when we entered the war.” All the purposes which we avowed when we went into the war are abandoned. Here are some —only a few —of the things in which the senate would have us express no Interest:

Notwithstanding the fact that upon our entrance into the war we professed to be seeking to assist in the maintenance of common interests, nothing is said in this resolution about the freedom of navigation upon the seas, or the reduction of armaments, or the rectification of wrongs done to France, or ihe vindication of the rights of Belgium, or the release of the Christian populations of the Ottoman empire from the intolerable subjugation which they have had for so many generations to endure, or the establishment of an independent Polish state, or. the continued maintenance of any kind of understanding among the great powers of the world which would be. calculated to prevent in the future such outrages as Germany attempted and in part ccnsum,mated. We have now in effect declared that we do not care to take any. further risks or assume any further responsibilities with regard to the freedom of nations, or the sacredness of international obligation, or the safety of independent peoples. ' To those who are selfishly inclined, it should be said that we do not even safeguard our own interests. For. this resolution makes, as the President says, “a complete surrender of the rights Of the United States so far as the German government is concerned.” It is true that an attempt is made to force Germany to concede the rights written in the treaty of Versailles. But it is for Germany to say whether she will grant them. If she does not there will not be even such a poor peace as that sought' by this resolution. Of this peace Mr Wilson very truly says: Such a peace , with Germany—a peace in which of the essem tial interests which we had at heart when we entered the war is safeguarded —is, or ought to be, incon-

ceivable, is inconsistent with the dignity of the United States, with the rights and liberties of her citizens and with the very fundamental conditions of civilization. If Senator Lodge believed what he said in December, 1918, he should be glad to vote to sustain this veto. Senator Colt, also, if he has been correctly quoted, should rejoice at the opportunity that is now offered him. The country will hope that the President and the senate may before long come together in a sensible compromise that will make possibls the ratification of the Versailles treaty— Indianapolis News (Rep.)

AN INGRATE AND A BOLSHEVIK

In the federal court at Indianapolis Friday, Judge Anderson canceled the citizenship papers of Paul P. Glaser, a Gary lawyer, because of radical activities. Glaser confessed himself a Bolshevist and indicated admiration for the Red flag, although his understanding of the significance of both terms differed from that popularly held. His feeling toward the Bolshevist idea was elicited when he told the court that he would be willing to give up valuable land to the government should the country decide on a Red regime.

According to his testimony Glaser came to this country fourteen years ago with SSOO in his pockets. Since that time he has accumulated over $50,000. His property consists of a $30,000 home in Gary, a farm, in Wisconsin, value about $4,00'0, a farm in Mfhnesota worth $16,000 and 128 acres of oil land in Wyoming that he estimated might be worth S2OO an acre, but for which he was offered SI,OOO an acre by —e Standard Oil no more than a year ago. Thus in fourteen years in this land of political and economic tyranny he has amassed an independent fortune. To the system of industry and ggxernment that made this possible he prefers Bolshevism. As to conditions under that happy regime Colonel Edward W. Ryan, Red Cross commissioner, who has just returned from Russia, makes an illuminative report. Industry is nearing a standstill, houses are falling to pieces, the people are in rags, cities are indescribably filthy, transportation Js wholly inadequate, fuel can not be bought, death and starvation stalk abroad, blackness and despair are on all sides. The system that brought this about engages the sympathy of a man who has become wealthy in fourteen years in a democracy, who has never lacked for food, who is able to enjoy all the comforts and luxuries of » civilized life under an orderly government! In the humble opinion of the ordinary citizen, not Russia but the insane asylum is the proper destination for a man so endowed mentally.

The house was unable to override the President’s veto on the farcial resolution to "end the wae with Germany” by 29* votes. The Democrat handles butterwrappers, printed or plain, at all times.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

(By Co. Supt Sterrett) The following applicants prepared manuscripts for state licenses on the teachers' examination held at the .high school building last Saturday: Vera M. Woods, Rensselaer; E. Florence Brady, Thayer; Lottie Clare Porter, Remington; Lila Delahanty, Wheatfield; Margaret Delahanty, Wheatfield; Fairy Deardurft, Morocco; Lucy W. Harris, Mt. Ayr; Florence L. McKay, Fair Oaks; Jessie Zellers, Fair Oaks; Esther B. Wiseman, Fair Oaks; Mabel'Worland, Rensselaer; Gladys McGlynn, Remington; Mary Miles, Rensselaer; Day Jordan, Gifford; Mary Gay Makeever, Fair Oaks. Two licenses from the state department were mailed last Thursday to Miss Martha Parker of Remington. The school records show that there is by far a greater percentage of Jasper county teachers either in school already or planning to go June 7 and June 14. This promises as good a school year as the one that has just closed. The teachers’ wages in Jasper county seem to be getting results. No growing teacher can afford to allow herself to relinquish her efficiency if she can possibly scrape a few dollars together to attend school during the summer. The enhanced efficiency should influence the trustees to make corresponding Increases in wages. Miss Edna Reed has been on the sick list while attending normal at Muncie. Her father, Charles Reed, has returned from there recently and reports that his is mending rapidly. Miss Reed taught the Independence school in Barkley township last winter. Miss Mildred Rush has returned from Mrs. Blakers’ school at Indianapolis after taking a six weeks course. All schools in the county have closed for the summer vacation. -Trustee Postill of Marion is planning to hold dedication exercises and a joint commencement at the newly constructed school building north of town some time in June. The Milroy-Hanging Grove joint commencement will be held at the Milroy church in Milroy township on Saturday night, June 19. There will be a class of eleven graduate upon that occasion.- Other commencement dates will be set next Monday, June 6, at the regular meeting of the county board of education. '
