Nsw York World Defends
Position Of President

New York, Jan. 24.-There was
"peace without victory at the con

declared today, in interpreting the
phrase in President Wilson S senate
speech, which aroused criticism in en-
tente countries.
Foreign editorial comment has as
serted with emphasis that Lincoln
would not have listened to Wilson s
PROPOSAL.

ations. A peace without victory does
imply a war without victory; but it
most certainly implies that durable
peace must be. a peace of justice and
humanity, not merely peace of the

DAY FOR DEBATE
ON PEACE SPEECH
is DEF { AT { D
Effort Of Senator CunminS
Causes Bitter Senate
Debate
POLITICS, PERSONALITIES
ENTER INTO DISCUSSION
Message Of President May
Now Be Discussed at
Any Time
BY Robert j. Bender,

(United Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Jan. 2l.-Failing to act
on Senator Cummins' resolution pro.
viding day at least of general debate
on President Wilson Is address to the
senate Monday, the senate this after
noon left the way open for general
discussion Of the presidents ideas at
any time.
The senate S action followed two
hours of bitter discussion during which
senator Stone urged that the resolu.
tion be referred to the foreign rela-
tions committee.
While effeetually preventing, for to-
day, passage of the Cummins resolu-
ton, which provides specifically for
debate next Monday, senate democrats
failed to eliminate the "dangeru of
prolonged discussion on the president s
IDEAS.
After two hours of wrangling. acrim-
iuous debate, the Cummins resolution
automatically went to the calendar,
whence it can be called up at any
time on Cummins' motion. Action on
the resolution can be taken without a
vote, but the senator's mere motion to
have it called up can precipitate de-
bate.
Following the senate IS failure to act
on the motion, Cummins declared he
will take advantage of his privilege to
call it up at every chance.
The senate faces the probability of
an extra session if Cummins carries out
his threat. Calling up of the motion
win mean several hours delay every
time it occurs.
Democratic leaders offered as their
aside a special day for debate of the
address "the danger of tying up legis-
lation to the point where an extra ses-
son would be necessary
Discussion in the senate was devoted
almost entirely to whether the Cum
Minis resolution should be referred to
the foreign relations committee or to
partisan dispute.
Cummins contended the presidents
proposal was vastly more important
than any legislation pending.
He explained the resolution called
for no extended debate at this time be-
yond the point:
Ought the senate in the near fu-
ture do the country the justice and
render the president the respect of in
forming the people and advising the
president of our Wiews concerning this
vital subject.
"It. matters not whether the pres
ident is right or wrong
In either case his pronouncement
is the most important ever made by
an executive of the United States. The
whole country so looks upon it and
foreign nations so regard 1T.
II am led to believe that those who
oppose this resolution are his true
friends, y Cummins went on.

Senate This Morning Passed
Bill Providing For Such
Action
ILLICITIMATE CHILD BILL
MET STRONG OPPOSITION
Lower House Passed Seven
Measures al Forenoon
Session

When the senate opened this morning
it had six bills up for third reading and
final passage, and it passed one. That
was senate bill No. 95, making school
directors subject to the provisions of
the recall law
The final vote was taken Just before
adjournment. 1t seems there has been
considerable trouble in several localities
over school matters, especially in Port
land and down at Roseburg While the
bill was pretty generally discussed, Ed
dy was its champion. He pointed out
that the school directors held office for
five years and if the people made mis-
take in selecting them it took from two
to three years before they could get
rid of them. Eddy presented an array
of Endorsements from Roseburg, the
ministerial association, the mayor, wo-
men s clubs and most of the leading
citizens setting forth a pretty bad con
dition in that city. He also called at
tention TO conditions in Portland where
there has been disgraceful school row
going on for soc months. He said. and
Dimick indorsed the statement, that the
passage of this bill would put an end
to this eternal wrangling. The bill
passed with but four dissenting votes.
Senate bill No. 16, by Olson, was an
other that causEd lengthy discussion. 1t
provided for the care and protection of
illegitimate children. Senator Olson ex-
p'ainnd its workings and effect, and
while the other senators taking part IN
the debate were lawyers the discussion
was not as to the merits OF the bill upon
which their was a general expression
that its intent was all right, but as to
its wording. The legal members seemed
to fear the wording might place the in
nocent in jeopardy and open the gates
for blackmailing those whose bank ac-
count would tempt the mother to make
provision for her child.
One of the features of the bill is that
it provides that the child, once its pa
rentage is established as provided in the
bill shall inherit from the father Just
the same as his children born in law

NEWSPAPERS OF
EFFETE EAST TAKE
MATTER SERIOUSLY
Suggestion Of Secretary Nc
Daniels ArOuSes Staid Old
Bay State City

If ones bump of humor is not largely
developed or il one's sense of publicity
and advertising is not very active, the
idea was all wrong that the secretary
of the Salem Commercial club should
do such an unhcard of thing as to write
the other % Salems in the United States
to get off the map or change their
names.
However, if ones sense of humor,
coupled with publicity sense is devel.
oped, the idea looked like it might
produce results. And it did.
Notwithstanding the fact that Salem,
Oregon, is the home of what will be
soon known as the national drink =
loganberry juice-some of the good and
solemn citizens of SALEM, Massachus.
etts, were greatly incensed at the sug.
gestion, and were so mad about it that
the newspapers began to say lot of
things about city in the west that
had never been heard OF. ~
Then the newspapers of Boston, Mass,
began saying things and all at once the
home of the famous loganberry juice
became known all over the New Eng
land states. And then people began talk
ing about that far off town of Salem,
Oregon, where lived man who had the
nerve to ask that good old standby Sa.
lem, Mass, to change its name.
And the call came for more informa-
tion about that city on the other side
of the U. s. A., until finally the At
lantic News service, a company supply
ing and receiving news from 10000
cities, wrote Ivan q. Mcdaniel, secre-
tary of the Commercial club as follows:
"Much interest has been aroused in
Boston over the story in the Boston
Herald that your club had requested the
city of Salem, Mass, to change its name,
and in the reply sent by the mayor of
Salem, Mass,
"We would like to secure for use in a
special article bunch of good views of
Salem, Oregon, including the principal
points of interest, any unique features,
or special industries, parks and school
buildings, together with any booklets.
This will be an opportunity for Salem,
Oregon, to get considerable publicity
Mr. Mcdaniel has been busy today
collecting views Of all kinds of Salem
and the surrounding country, whereby
the good old citizens of Plymouth stock
may be properly informed as to what a
city named Salem should look like.
Through the Atlantic News service
and the large dailies served by this ser
vice, New England viii soon know that
Salem, Oregon, has a civic center unsur.
passed by any in the New England
states and that its business section will
compare favorably with any city OF its
size in New England. And of what is
of greater import, New England will be
properly informed that as the whole u
s. will soon be on the prohibition wag
on, the national drink-so favored by
William Jennings Bryan--will soon be
the delicious loganberry juice and that
Salem, Oregon, is and always will be
the loganberry center Of the whole U
S. A.
When it comes to a civic center there
is nothing like that Of Salem, Oregon
and when it comes to the national drink
Salem is ready to supply the whole
country.

NEVER HARD 10 FIND FAULT
But No One Who Has the Unfortunate
Habit Ever Found Himself Ex-
tremely Popular.

It is much easier to pick fault
with others than to be correct your
self. It is better to be forbearing.
No one likes others to be e1acting Of
him about every little mistake or
folly. Be not so to others. Be
ready to overlook small things,
to make allowances. Because you
can do this or that or live so
or so, it is not to be expected that
everyone can do or be the same.
Though you may think your way the
best, someone else may have just as
good ideas-or better. Who made
you judge that you can make laws
for all? Do you want to toe the
mark Of another's making2 If not,
DO not expect others to come up to
your line. Live your own life the
best you can and while you try to
help, leave the lives of others to their
creator for judgment. A habit of
debating grows on one. It is better
to watch out and stop yourself before
you begin. IF it is part of your
business to direct others, do so in the
right spirit, with respect to their
rights and your own sef-respect.
Nagging is beittling to yourself and
does harm, not good. It improves
or reforms no one. A habit of find
ing fault renders one disagreeable.
Make criticisms and suggestions
with great care. Seek what you can
commend and emphasize that.-Mil-

Card Of Thanks

The undersigned, in behalf OF
the City of Ely, hereby begs to
thank most heartily all the citi.
zens who participated in the pa.
triotic parade Sunday last. The
splendid turn out shows that the
citizens are abreast of the most
progressive communities when ii
comes to do our "bit" for the
country in need.
Special thanks and acknowl-
edgement is due to our neighbor-
ing citizens from Winton who
made a splendid showing in the
parade. Their home guard made
special hit and it certainly is
to the credit of the Winton COM
munity. We also appreciate the
presence of the Tower and Sou
dan Bands and citizens from these
communities who so willingly
came to our assistance.
Thanks to all and may patriot
ism live until the American ideals
Of liberty shall prevail through
out the world.
