RUSSELLVILLE

Russellville, April 25.--(special IA loss
of several hundred dollars was suffered
here this afternoon when the entire
shelving on the north side of the building
of the large grocery store of Carter
Reed Co. turned over.
The injunction suit filed against the
city of Russellville several days ago by
DR.. T. S. Jones, to stop the city from
doing further street work in front of his
residence, was dismissed from court this
morning by Judge Charles Almon. The
injunction was secured by a local attor-
ney several days ago and the bond was
made for $3.50, and the case set for today
before Judge Almon. When court opened
Judge Almon announced that bond OF
$3.50 was too small to stop a $4,000 street
work and that the bond would be raised

The Partisans Mt Work Again

T is impossible to believe that serious con-
l sideration will be given by Congress to the
resolution which has been introduced by
Senator Cummins, of Iowa, calling for the
appointment of special committee of the
Senate to be sent to Paris to inquire dill
gently" as to all facts connected with the
peace negotiations and report them to the
Senate.
Surely the blind and bitter partisanship OF
the Presidents critics carries them far when
they propose such thing. Do they expect
that the American people will approve such
an outrageous suggestion? Will the Amer
lean public indorse the intimation that the
President of the United States, who has so
magniicently acquitted himself in the con-
duct OF the war, cannot be trusted by the
nation adequately to represent it at the peace
conferences? There is about this proposal of
Senator Cummins backed it is by the
carping voice OF Henry Cabot Lodge, Boies
Penrose and Theodore Roosevelt, an aspect
quite familiar. 1t was not many months back
that this same group Of critics solemny as
sured the nation that unless congressional
committee was appointed to supervise the
Presidents conduct of the war, all would be
lost. Then now, the motive was to en-
barrass the President, to annoy him by petty
interference, to undermine him, If not in the
confidence Of the world at large, in that of
the American people. Constituencies through
out the country, may be sure, will reject
this new proposal with as much scorn as they
rejected it's predecessor.
The Republicans who are behind this
scheme-or most Of them-have quite insis-
tenty declared their opposition to some
all Of the propositions laid down by the Pres
ident in his famous fourteen terms OF peace.
Presumably their purpose in demanding the
sending of this grotesque committee to Paris
-four Republicans and four Democrats they
proposes to have present at Paris during
the deliberations Of the peace conference at
outspokenly opposed to the fourteen terms.
Yet what they expect to accomplish by this,
when the allies agreed to undertake the ne
gotations with the express proviso that the
fourteen terms laid down by President Will
son should, in the MAN, constitute the frame
work of the final peace, is mystery hard to
explain.
On the other hand there is evident
throughout the proposal a deliberate purpose
to discredit the President at the peace con-
ference--to weaken, If possible, the force
with which he speaks the mind OF America
in conference, the conclusions of which
will vitality affect the destiny OF every ma
ton involved, the United States included
Can there be any justification whatever for
a proposition that satisfyingly feeds the
hope OF the pro-German propa gandist that
dissension among themselves will render the
United States and it's allies incapable of final
decision on any of the vital issues for which
the war fought?

Allied occupation OF all tho strategic points
and the cities OF Germany is one of the posi-
bilities that seems to draw nearer each hour,
and of this gigantic police task the United
States must do it's share. Where 1t may lead
no human mind can tell. Germany, Austria,
Russia, all Central Europe, are in turmoil,
and the deadly clutch of Bolsheviksm is clos
ing about their threats. They must be re-
stored to normal conditions and the forces
of murder. disorder and unrest must be put
to fight before peace and safety may be said
to be secure for any part Of the world,
matter how remote it may be. Just how
far these seeds OF terrorism have been sowed
in other countries it is impossible to deter
mine but the menace is omnipresent. There
may be very real danger i'll the apparent haste
to disband the American armies and return
them to their homes 1t is notable in this
connection that there has been no intimation

Of life is far away
AS seas from the highest mountains

Are food for his Self. and drink!

Of life In its shallow form
Away from the strife and struggle
Away from the greedy swarm
For I've had my FILL and I've eaten
OF the food of the mammon brood
And I've filed and hungered all In vain
From the husks OF the mammon brood;
And the things that real they call me
From the hills. and the fresh green sod
And want to go out where the real things are
And man can talk with his God!
