The Knox Resolution,

II the resolution prepared BY Sena-
tor KNOX and introduced In the Sen
ate yesterday Is adopted 1t will help
greatly, as an authoritative declara-
ton Of our peace aims to disentangle
the Government from that complex
and Ill defined enterprise Of world re-
form and world policing which Presi-
dent WILSON sails to-day to promote
In the councils of the nations
Senator KNOX states accurately the
reason Of the United States Govern
nient for enteI ng the war and Its
purpose in fighting the war to a VIC
torious conclusion. Our Government
declared purpose was not to establish
any of the ideals" so vaguely and
yet 90 coplously prominent in the Pres
ident's address on Monday, as, indeed.
in nearly all his speeches and writ
ings since he erected on his Individual
responsibility the Wilson fourteen.
The United States entered the war
with single purpose, much simpler
and more direct than any Of the after
thought purposes elaborated In the
Presidents profuse utterances since
that time. This purpose was clearly
stated In the preamble Of the Joint
resolution Of April 8. 1917, declaring
war against Germany:
whereas the Imperial German Gov
eminent has committed repeated acts of
war against the Government and people
81 the United States Of America"
These acts Of war consisted Of the
violation of our neutral rights upon
fhe high seas, OF the destruction of
the property Of our citizens and of
the murder Of American men, women
and children by submarine attack, as
in the case Of the Lusitania. Senator
KNox's preamble recognizes no other
war purposes than the vindication OF
these rights, the attainment Of restl.
tuition and reparation and the proven.
tion of future outrages of the same
sort by Germany:
1.-THE United States of America en-
tered the war with Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary in order to v!ndlcate the
ancient rights of navigation as estab-
iished under international law and in
order TO remove forever the German
menace to our peace"
That is truthful and adequate
statement of the war situation at the
beginning; and as the first authori-
tative general declaration by Congress
on the subject the Knox resolution
would dismiss all extraneous matter
and confine the conferences in which
we shall participate to these aims and
10 matters germnne thereto.
Its adoption would greatly clarity
our national position; and this with
out regard to the effect on the Do
tential entnnglements and embarrass
ments lurking in the Wilson fourteen
The war was not fought for the vim
dicatlon of his concepts and ideals,
announced on his individual response.

CREAMERY Is
A BUSY PLACE
SHIPPED CAR OF BUTTER AND
EGGS TO CHICAGO
FRIDAY.
ANOTHER MONDAY
Business Shows Great Increase
Over That a Year
Ago.

Last Friday the Liberal Creamery
loaded a car of butter and eggs fol-
shipment to Chicago.
In the shipment were 10000
pounds of butter, manufactured by
the creamery, and 1900 dozen OF
eggs. The car was valued at $4,000
The creamery is doing record
business, according to Manager A.
L. Edison. The ice cream and soda
water business is also exceptionally
good. The manufacture of ice
cream for the month of May shows
an increase of 800 gallons over the
same month last year, and the soda
water department has also shown a
healthy growth.
1t is expected that another car
of butter and eggs will be shipped
Monday. There is strong demand
for their products and the business
keeps growing all the time.
AS the territory of the institution
is increased and larger amount of
raw products are received the busi-
ness will continue to expand, until
large part of the business will be
car load shipments.
