WHICH is RIGHT7

The Democrat has never expressed
an opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
President Wilson attending the peace
conference. 1t was a big question, and
one on which we did not feel COM
petent to speak intelligently. And
as the discussion progresses it seems
that there is to be more disagreement.
At the present time we have the
unusual spectacle of two ex-presi-
dents, both of the opposite political
faith Of the president, expressing
views in opposite directions.
Ex-president Roosevelt has unmer-
cifully flayed the president for at
tending the conference, while Elk
president Taft comes out with state
ment that he was in favor of Mr..
Wilson going to the conference.
Questioning the wisdom of turning
the German colonies over to England
and France, William H. Taft declared
in an address at New York December
9Th before the committee on in
formation of the League to Enforce
Peace, that the safest procedure
would be to have them governed by
league of nations.
Mr.. Taft declared the U. S. already
is member of league of nations
into which it was driven in defense
of the freedom of the seas. He urged
that the league should be made per-
manent at the peace table.
Mr. Taft said he had been in favor
of President Wilson's going to Eu-
rope because he believed the trip
would strengthen the presidents view
with respect to the necessity of the
league.
Then we have the division of opin-
ion in Congress. In the Senate the
Republican leaders with a few Demo-
Gratis have assailed the president and
even threatened to declare his seat
vacant, while Minority Leader Mann
of the house declared that Mr.. Will
son should not be hampered in his eff
forts, and pledged that body in sup
port of the principles he had gone to
uphold.
There is one thing certain. Time
will tell the wisdom of the course pur-
sued by President Wilson and if he
makes good he will receive the plaud-
its of the world, and if he fails he
will have to bear the stigma of fail
ure.

aid. 1t is too bad the Herald did not
think of this before, as that paper has
lost lot of sleep getting up matter
knocking because the price of wheat
was "fixed" and cotton was not, and
predicted ruin for the farmer. A few
jolts like this should make newspapers
little more careful in their dire pre-
dictions and shows that sometimes
campaign dope" is all wrong.
"Now is the time when the wheat
farmers can well appreciate the posi-
tive virtue of fixed price on wheat,
and the Southern planter will wonder
whether opposition to fixed cotton
price was a good policy after ALL
Recently the cotton market dropped
$40 bale on one day, and it was
found necessary to forbid speculative
sales.
meanwhile the wheat farmer, with
the prospects of cheaper machinery
and more plentiful labor, is smilingly
figuring on the maximum acreage he
can plant. He is sure. of 1920 a
bushel. There is nothing but the
weather to worry him.-Exchange."

commercial clubs which were able to
make plans. Anyway, this should
not be so. The farmer is the man
who is more vitality interested than
anyone else in good roads, and he
shouldS have some means of dealing
with the problem collectively, and his
voice and effort should be the domi-
mating influence in behalf of better
roads.
1t occurs to us that through the
Farm Bureau the farmers of this sec
ton could handle their end of the
good roads proposition. This organ
ization could work with the CONNER
cial bodies of the towns, and together
the work could be carried on syste-
matically.
1t is likely that the first effort for
hard roads would be to connect coun-
ty seat towns. when these have been
constructed feeders will be run in diff
ferent directions as the farmers de-
mand, until any farmer can make the
greater part of the distance from
his place to any Of the adjoining
towns on hard road.
This would have the effect of in
creasing the value of the land, make
life on the farm more pleasant, anC
save a world of time and expense il
marketing crops and produce.
By issuing bonds for the worl
which would run for years at low
rate of interest the financing of tn
roads would not be hardship upoi
anyone, and the time saved the far
mer in going to town and back woul'
more than pay for the road by tn
time the bonds run out.

looks like big thing on the face, Blu

the resolution calling for an investi-
cation of the National Security
League and its alleged activities in
the past campaign, including charg-
ing members of congress with dis
loyolty. >
The committee eliminated from the
original resolution, introduced by
Representative Frear of Wisconsin,
Republican, the provision for inves-
tigating "any other patriotic or po-
litical organizations" and inserted in
its place associated organizations"
of the National Security League.
Representative Frear and Repre-
sentative McCulloch, of Ohio, appear
ed before the committee and declared
the league had mis-stated the records
Of members.
- Extension of the inquiry ITO every
newspaper that sees fit to mis-state
members record" was advocated
by Mr.. McCulloch.
1t will be remembered that many
papers during the campaign carried
the matterfurnished by the National
Security League, which matter show
ed that the Democrats in Congress
voted wrong on practically all the
questions relative to carrying on the
war. To give it semblance of non
partisanship a few Republicans were
included in the list. A glance at the
list of the League showed the officers
and directors to be high up Repub-
lican politicians, and it seems pecul-
lar that members Of that party are
instituting the investigation.
1t begins to look like there was a
breaking up Of political ties and we
cannot but feel that when the big
politicians begin to disagree there
will be chance for the little fellow

AS TO GOOD ROADS"

The Democrat is finding plenty of
violence to back up its assertions
asst week in regard to the good roads
natter Almost every paper we pick
Up has something on the subject, and
many sections the work is already
Under way.
The next session of Congress may
re expected to go into this matter in
earnest, and comprehensive scheme
or financing road building program
mapped out.
Heretofore the people of the cities
nave been the leaders in the good
Dads movement. Certainly this is
lot for the reason that they are the
ones most interested. Possibly it is
because the farmers have had no or.
;anization through which they could
act collectively, while the towns had

NEW TRIAL FOR MOONEY
URGED BY CHURCH WOMEN

New York-The committee on So
cial justice Of the Society of the Com
panions of the Holy Cross in the
Protestant Episcopal Church of Amer
ica has forwarded to President Will
son this plea for Thomas J. Mooney:
"We, the undersigned, beg to ex-
press our deep appreciation of your
efforts toward the attainment of just
ice in the case of Thomas j. Mooney.
In view of the disappointing failure
of a constituted legal authority, by
the denial of a new trial to rectify
the perversion Of justice in the con-
demnation of Mooney to death by tes-
timOny admittedly perjured, and, re-
membering the danger at this critical
time of compromising the testimony
of America before the international
mind, as we'll as of embittering labor,
we respectfully urge upon you the
continuance of your intervention in
the interest of equity in this ease"

ARMY OFFICERS ACCEPT TRADE
UNIONS THEORY

Washington-The ordnance depart
ment of the war department announces
that at has been found that where
living conditions are bad and housing
arrangements inadequate, ordnance
production lags."
The ordnance department supplies
General Pershing with ammunition
and it's Investigators have found con-
ditions that must be removed before
workers can produce their best. These
hard-headed army officers now ac-
cept organized labor's theory, which
has long been resisted by employers.
In several Alabama towns the
"prominent citizens" are enthusiastic
over their discovery and are giving
every aid to the ordnance department
to make these places livable.
A public market has been estab-
lished for the towns of Tuscumbia,
Sheffield and Florence, where farmers
dispose of their produce to representa-
tives of government plants. Govern
ment wagons cart the produce to these
factories, where it is sold to the
workers at cost. Central bureaus for
the three towns have tackled the
housing problem and parks and play
grounds are being planned.
Army officers report that an inves-
tigation of the large labor turnover
in another town showed that sewers
in the overcrowded residence sections
were back filling into private cellars
because of inadequate pumping facili-
ties. 1t remained for the ordnance
departments representatives to show
war munitions manufacturers that if
the towns finances would not permit
of the purchase of new pump, that
it would be good business for them to
stop their costly labor turnover by
installing the pump themselves. The
manufacturers accepted the hint.

ESSENTIALS FIRST
MUST NOT ENDANGER ESSEN.
TIAL INDUSTRIES

Columbus, O.-Speeding up of the
draft machinery to furnish men for
the October army calls from the list
of new registrants, must not be per-
mitted to endanger in any way the
full operation of essential industries.
Acting on that tip, the Ohio branch
U. S. Employment Service, has begun
working on it's section of the new
draft machinery which was created
to prevent any slowing up of war
work through draft inroads upon its
forces of necessary workmen.
This supplemental draft machine,
the agency through which Uncle Sam
is going to safeguard his vast army
of civilian war workers, will function
through the six district draft boards
of the state. 1t will consist of a
board of three industrial advisers in
each of the six draft districts-one
member appointed by the State Adj
visory Board of the U. S. Employ
ihNAN AOCl WIG, dlOIlICI ny IIlC u.
Department Of Agriculture and
third by the district draft boards.
"The function of these advisory
boards is one of the most vital of all
government war agencies" said Fred
c. Croxton, head of the State Ad-
visory board of the employment serv-
ice today. "They must gather the
fullest information as to all indus
tries, occupations in their district,
their "essentialness" etc. in order to
enable district boards to work out in
dustrial exemptions carefully and in
telligently.
"These boards also must initiate
exemption proceedings in specific
cases where exemption was not claim
ed by an individual necessary to es-
sential line he is engaged in.
"In short, these boards are charged
with reducing to a minimum, inter-
ference with war work by the opera
tiOn of the draft law"

$1,237 in expenditures for strikes
authorized by the union.
"We stand back of President Will
son." says the report; "there should
be no strikes or lockouts during the
war;" The report was made the sub
ject of an article by Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star, in
which he lauded the accomplishments
of the union and cited it as an "ad-
mirable example of Americanism and

WHERE UNCLE SAM GETS HIS
INCOME

How the government war Golfers
were filled with billions in taxes,
gathered from a wide variety of
sources, ranging from stamps on
playing cards to huge levies on excess
profits, was shown in detail by a
report of Internal Revenue Commits
sioner Roper to Secretay McAdoo for
the year ending last June 30th.
The figures are considered especially
important because they will be used
by the House Ways and Means Com
mittee as a partial basis for higher
taxes in the new revenue bill, which
is to raise $8,OOO,OOO,OOO.
Total internal revenue for the year
amounted to 1864, ,703, 900, of which
50, ,839 ,083 900 came from income and
excess profits tax payments in June,
and $855,619,000 from a multitude of
miscellaneous sources, collected large
ly in pennies, dimes and quarters ad-
ded to the prices of various articles,
paid by consumers and poured into
the treasury by retailers, wholesalers
or manufacturers to help meet war
costs.
Huge as these taxes seem in the
aggregate, collections for the entire
year were only enough to pay the
nations bills for two and a half
months of the war at the rate the
Government is now spending money.
Next to income and excess-profits
taxes-the backbone of the revenue
schedule-liquor taxes brought in the
most money, SAB, $4,000, including
$317, 1000 from whisky, brandy,
wine and spirits, and $125,285, 900
from beer and other fermented liq-
uors.
Taxes on cigars, cigarettes and
other tobacco products yielded $780,
$4,000.
After income, eXcess-prOfts, liquor
and tobacco taxes, the biggest yield
from any other source came from
levies on transportation and utilities,
which went into effect Nov. l, amount
ing to $70,734 900, divided as follows:
Freight, per cent, $4,000 900; pas
senger tickets, 8 per cent, $24, 4,306,-
600; express, per cent. $6,458,OOO;
berths and staterooms, 10 per cent,
$2,236,000; telephone, telegraph and
radio messages, cents each, $6,299,-
900; oil pipe lines, 5 per cent, ST.
433 900.
Over 600 applications for appoint
ment as superintendents of the Is
new branch employment agencies to
be established in Ohio, have been re-
ceived at the State Central Office,
U. S. Employment Service for Ohio.
Canvassing of this list preparatory
to making selections was begun last
week. Appointments are to be an
nounced in a few days. Offices will
be set up as fast as the selections are
made.
