SPURIOUS GLORIFICATION. The paid pen-pushers cf the Wilson publicity staff In Europe are now engaged in a desperate propaganda to Bhow that the dictator has been victorious at the peace conference, and another spurious 'diplomatic victory" Is to be chalked up to the credit of the kind of democracy. One of these political propagandists writes from Paris: "The preliminary treaty will be practically an acceptance of all the 14 point-. The old controversy regarding the freedom of the seas and the removal of economic barriers are apparently dead.' But those comprised the 2nd and 3rd of the 14 points. Wilson wrung the neck of the first, "open covenants of peace, openly arrived at," immediately on reaching Versailles. The 4th, "adequate guarantees that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest points consistent with domestic safety," has no meaning whatever, for who shall determine what is consistent, and Wilson himself demanded ?75f,000,000 tor an Increased navy at the very beginning of the conference, declaring it absolutely imperative to the success of his dictation abroad. The Mb point. " a free, open-minded, and absolutely itnpaiitial adjustment of all colonial claims." has been observed mainly in the breach; since the 6th principle was recited Russia has gone bolshevik!, and with respect to this point' Wilson stands fa-t. which guarantees the recognition or Russia, which is to have a "sincere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing." As for the 7th and Sth principles, the whole world was long ago agreed that Belgium must be restored, and Alsace and

There is only room for one flag in Lake county and that is the Stars and Stripes. There is room for only one language and that is the language of the people of the United States. THE END OF THE ADVENTURE. Germany will never sign without a huge roar of remonstrance. That goes without saving, but sign the peace treaty she will have to do. So ends Germany's great adventure. The greatest dream of world-empire ever dreamed is shattered. The representatives of a nation that sought to rule the earth av eassembled at Versailles to receive their doom. The ruler -who thought himself greater than Alexander or Caesar or Napoleon is svfmmoned to the bar for trial and punishment, like any other criminal. The nobles who expected power and wealth tmd fame from the great enterprise are turned to contempt they come and go at the bidding of antagonists they despised and are held in dishonor in their own land. The people who boasted themselves a race of supermen are condemned to be hewers of -wood and drawers of water for the civilisation they ajsailed. The mighttest war machine ever created is broken and scattered. The boundaries that were to be extended have shrunk. The colonies that were to increase until they encircled the earth are lost. Industry and commerce are swept away. Wealth is dissipated, and the sources of wealth are dried up. A nation's honor is soiled. The respect and admiration of mankind are forfeited. By peaceful means Germany, with her talent and energy, might in time have made a real conquest of the

world. But she would not wait and strive patiently and j

fairly. She sought to win quickly by brute force. And taking up the sword, she has perished by the sword. Possessing already her 'place in the sun," she tried to keep the sun from other nations, wherefore her place for a generation, and possibly forever, is in the shadow.

of Europe, the 12th principle has gone by the board. The loth principles, providing for Poland, appears to have been agreed to by all. and the Hth principle, providing for "a general association or nations' ha still to run the gauntlet of the United States Senate, even of the sew

ing-circle agreed to by the "Big Four ting by the full conference.

Altogether Mr. Wilson's fielding average runs about 100 per cent, due chiefly to "assi.ts," which should disqualify him from the League he is trying to organize. And the disgust and rancor for America which he has stirred up has stirred up in Uurope will not be eliminated in a quarter of a century. The Wilson press agent? have too big a job to tackle this time, which may cy piain why George Creel and others b?.e thrown it up.

IMPORTED DISEASES. The Department of Agriculture is on the alert to guard against a possible outbreak of the dreaded foot-and mouth disease among the cattle of this country. The eiuse for immediate alarm is an outbreak or tne epidemic in England. As the disease spreads among cattle with far greater rapidity than docs influenza among people, the necessity for precaution is evident. There is little danger from the importation of animals right now, but one of the appalling things about tnts trouble is that infection can be carried by human kind, and some soldier interested in cattle might, vi-it an infected area and without being aware of it bring the germ 3 home with him. All cleanly and 'precautionary measures should be practiced with scrupulous care in these days. Many thousands of our men have been exposed, to Infection

NEW LAWS FOR "REDS" NEEDED. The need is recognized of new legislation to deal with the "reds" and the element in sympathy with them, which includes such speakers as Scott Nearing and the "par lor Socaliaists." who are really more dangerous than the men who undertawe to overturn our institution 5 by vio lence. The espionage act is still in operation, but it is a raw measure and as soon as peace is declared will no longer be in force. Laws to take its place will be needed at once in order to deal wiUi rioters of the "red" variety und to quel other movement-- of the Bolheviki type. Laws already exist to cover such offrnse.as bomb outrages and the pending of explosives through the mails, but it is con-idered doubtful if ther is at present any legal way of reaching the so-called "intellectuals," such as Nearing and John Reed. These agitators are skillful enough to word their speeches in such a way as to avoid prosecution under present statutes, but they rtpverthlcss stir the criminal, weak-minded class to law lessncss. A great deal of incendiary literature is circulated from several enters, some of which at least are known Some of these booklets purport to give the history or va roiis prosecutions for riot, violence and other offenses tnd misrepresent th facts by attempting Pj show mat the prosecutions were illegal. In recognition of the importance af sunnre-iine all these daneerous movement? a number of bills intended to curb radicalism and free tb;s country of criminal leaders have been prepared for cativ presentation in the next Congress.

YANKS LIKE A. E. F. SCHOOLS. Life in the army of occupation is not an ideal existence, but it helps some if the soldier can go to school, and this, is just what about 200,000 American soldiers in Germany and France are doing. They are utilizing every spare moment, to avail themselves of the army schools which have been established at every camp and post. This educational -work is especially planned to have a definite bearing on civilian life at home, it was oi ganized about a year ago. The real enthusia-m for it, however, has developed since the call of Hfe on tbd field gave way to the tedium of camp. Army officers act as teachers where they, are qualified for the work. Several hundred civilian volunteer teachers and college professors are helping the boy who wants an education to get what he can before he leaves for home. It would be hard to estimate the good which ha- been accomplished by these army schools, and no one should repeat the stupid assertion that "our hoys don't want education, they want to come home." For -while they undoubtedly do want to come home, the 200,000 now enrolled for the student courses show how they feel about ducation.

AVOIDING INDOLENCE. Remember, a loafing boy makes a loafing man, and a loafing man is a calamity. But is there a remedy for the idle propensities of the boy? Yes, but it is in himself. It is his own spirit that decides. If he has no spirit he will have to wait until circumstances evoke nw. They sometimes do it. We have seen sluggish boys wake up and go to the front. They simply struck an environment that aroused the spirit. On the hillside somewhere they had met a burning bush that warmed them into effort. There is no use trying to make manhood
