Pigeons Spread Disease.

Pigeons spread disease when flying
at large" says a writer In Farm and
Ffreside. 'They are very promiseu-
Gus In their visits and carry disease
germs from infected places on their
feet. Not only do they spread poultry
diseases. but any live stock or other
germ disease. Many mysterious out
break might be traced to this source.
flocks OF pigeons are very pictur-
esque feature Of the landscape. but
are entirely out OF place In our closely
settled modern communities. They
may carry human disease germs as
we'll as any Others"

DR.. Wenz Reprehended 10 Resolu-
tion, Makes Statement. =
AT Its session held at Occur d'Aiene
last Friday the KootehaI County
LCouncl of Defense adopted the fol-
lowing resolution and took the state
ment appended, and made a special
order that the resolution and state
ment be published i'd The Rathdrum
Tribune:
RESOLUTION
Charges having been laid before
this council that DR.. Frank Wenz OF
Rathdrum had made statements from
time to time indicating sympathy
with Germany as aga inst the United
States and also that his sympathies
with regard to the war are with
Germany, DR.. Wenz appeared before
the council and submitted to a long
examination. The council now hav.
Ing fully considered the statements Of
DR.. Wenz tlnds as follows:
That while DR.. WenZ has subscrib-
ed to the second and third Liberty
loans and has made subscriptions TO
the Red Cross and Army Y. M. G. A.
funds, his statements before this
council and bis manner during his
examination convince the Council Of
Defense that his sen timents are not
those Of answering loyalty to the
United States, but are decidedly pro-
German.
1t Is therefore the opinion of the
Council of Defense that one enter
tanning the views with regard to the
war that this council believes to be
entertained by DIR. Wenz ought not
to hold the responsi BILE position OF
school director, and this council
hereby requests DR.. Wenz to resign
from the Rathdrum School board.

Richmond, Va, November 90
Let us have no truce with the Span

acted q greater toll of life than our
war with tho Huns. 1t cannot be trust

is a cold weather disease. Even now
1t Is raging i'll some sections Of the
country, and in more than ono in
stance 1t has returned in malignant
form to communities which thought
they were rid of 1t. REPORTS to tho
State Board of Health from many
parts of Virginia show that doctors
arc still busy with patients suffering
from the grippe. Several districts
have closed their schools second

All told, perhaps thirty per cent
OF those in this State have had the
"flu' in one form or another. Tho
other sixty per cent had better

they may be rendered harmless by
Il careful avoidance OF that all too
common "spit swapping" which
comes from coughing or snccz:ng at
close quarters. Too often the deadly
droplets of saliva find human tar

There is an almost certain way Of
avoiding the "flu" and protecting not

And consis, emily avoid the common

Word comes from Washington that
everything concerning the details of
tho peace congress and the Presl-
dents part in it are shrouded in mys.
terry. 1t appears clear that the men,
bcrs OF the Senate committee on for
oign relations. Democratic or Republi
can have not been invited to q White
House Conference. This is to DO re
GREETED. The mere formal declaration
by the President in an address to
Congress at the opening of its session
will not supply the need for full
consultation between tho President
and representatives Of those who are
to share with him the responsibility
OF the treaty Of peace when it becom-

(By Theodore Roosevelt. J

No public end of any kind will be
served by President Wilson'S going
with Mr.. Crcel, Mr.. House and his
other personal friends to the peace
conference. Inasmuch as the circum
stances of his going arc so extraordi
nary and as there is some possibility
of mischief to this country a q re-
suit, there are certain 1acts which
should be set forth so clearly that
there can be no possibility of misun
derstandings, either by our own PEG
pie, by our allies or by our beaten
enemies, or by Mr.. Wilson himself.
WILSON'S APPEAL TO VOTERS.
Ten days before election Mr.. Will
son issued an appeal to the Ameri-
can people i'll which he frankly aban
doned the position of President Of the
people; assumed the position not
merely of party leader but of party
dictator and appealed to tho voters
as such. Most OF Mr.. Wilson's utter
ances on public questions have been
susceptible to at least two conflict
Ing interpretations but on this qucs
ton he made the issue absolutely
clear. He asked tho people to return
a Democratic majority to both the
Senate and the House Of Representa-
tives. He stated that the Republican
leaders were prowar but that they
were antiadministration. His appeal
was not merely against any Republi
can being elected but against any
Democrat who wished to retain his
conscience in his own keeping.
lie declared himself explicitly
against the Dro-war Republicans. Hc
de Jared explicitly for all p-oadmin--
istration Democrats without any re
ference as to whether they were pro
war or anti-war. He said that IL the
people approved Of his leaders ship and
wished him to continue to be their
"uncmbarrasscd spokesman in affairs
at home and abroad they must return
Il Democratic majority to both the
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives." He explicitly stated that on
tho other side Of the water the re
turn OF a Republican mapjority to eth
CT house of Congress would be inter
pretcd as Il reputation Of his lead
crsh!p and informed his fellow coun
trymcn that to elect u Democratic
majority in Congress was the only
way to sustain him, Mr.. Wilson.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1918-12-07
PEOPLE REFUSED TO
SUSTAIN HIM .

The issue was perfectly, clearly,
drawn. The Republican party was
pro-war and antiadministration the
Democratic party was officially pro
administration without any mind or
conscience OF its own and pro.war
or anti-war according to the way in
which Mr.. Wilson changed his mind
over night or between dawn and sun
set. The Americans refused to sus
tain Mr.. Wilson. They elected n ma
jority in the Senate. On Mr.. Will
sons own say-so they rcpudiated his
leadership. In no other free country
in the world today would Mr. Wilson
be in office. He would simply be q
private citizen like tho rest OF us.
Under these circumstances our
allies and our enemies and Mr.. Will
son has no authority whatever to
speak for the American people ut
this time. His leadership has just
been emphatically repudiated by
them. The newly elected Congress
comes far nearer than Mr.. Wilson to
having a right to speak the purposes
OF the American people at this mo-
ment. Mr.. Wilson and his fourteen
points and all his utterances every
which way have ceased to have any
shadow OF right to be accepted as OK
pressive Of the will OF the American
people.

EMBARRASSMENT FOR
SENATORS. .

The Senate must he aware that af-
ter the treaty has been signed in
Paris and submitted to the Senate
they will he laced in a position Of
disadvantage. The pressure for rati-
fication will then be so strong that
il will be difficult for senators to
make objections with which tho pub
lie will be patient. 1t will have to DO
radical defect in the treaty upon
which the Senate can base Il reject
10 and face the country. This exc
cutivc advantage is not present in the
