CBv Associated Press.l

Milwaukee, Jan. 3.-Louis Fons,
Republican, running on an America
first" platform, defeated Edmund F.
Melms, Socialist, in a special election
in the Eighth senatorial district yes
terday. Fons will fill the seat vacat-
ed in the state senate by Frank Re-
guse, who was expelled last spring
by the legislature for an alleged dis
loyal remark.
Fons was elected by a majority of
2S2 votes, excluding the soldiers
vote.
Fons' victory was brought about
by q combination Of lOyalists in the
Republican, Democratic and Socialist
parties against MelmB, who ran on
the anti-war Socialist platform
adopted in ST. Louis.
Fighting Fons up to the close of
the polls was the Victor Berger-La-
Toilette combination, which counted
on most of the Socialists, pacifists
and dyed -the-wool La Toilette
men to support Mems.
The issue brought forward in a hot

The secret of keeping young Is to feel
young-to do this you must watch your

look in your face dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctorwill tell you ninety
per cent Of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.

in Ohio, perfected a vegetable com.
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.

whom the Allies hold out no hope of
restoration. Great Britain, France
and America will never consent to
the return Of Palestine or Of Arabia,
or the continued subsection of Ar
menia. Arabia already is independ-
ent, and Palestine will become so.
Turkeys heart has never been in
the war. She had little to gain and
everything to lose, and the latter al
tentative is the one now facing her
This discomfort is the opportunity Of
the Allies. Turkey might be willing
to save the remnants of her empire
by deserving her ally.
Bulgaria, too, is restless. The ne
gotiations with Russia and the pros
pect of . peace without annexations
or indemnities, is a severe blow to
the Fox Of the Balkans. Bulgaria
has taken the territory she wants.
and is frankly DESTROYS of keeping it.
If after her sacrifices, she should
fail the prospect Of being forced to
give up territory that she has won
by the hardest kind OF fighting, her
attitude toward Germany is not going
to grow in cordially.
Austria Hungary is frankly sick
of the war and wants to get out of
IL on almost any terms that will leave
her boundaries intact.
Here is a fertile field for the dip
lomat. The war might be shortened
by months and hundreds of thou
sands OF lives saved, to say nothing
of billions of dollars, by the proper
use Of this situation. Great Britain
showed she was alert by her handling
OF the Arabian question, and it is far
from improbable that the Allies even
now are busily spreading propaganda
where it will do the most good.

AN OPENING FOR DIPLOMACY

Almost unlimited possibilities in
the way of diplomatic strategy, are
presented by the situation in respect
to Germany's allies.
1t is possible that President Will
sons hesitation about declaring war
on Turkey and Bulgaria, may have
been due to the fact that he fully
grasped this opportunity and intend
ed to make full use OF it.
As a result of the recent peace ne
gotiations Turkey is beginning to
worry-and with good cause-over
the danger that Germany, in some
way, will get out from under the full
penalty that should be hers, by sac
rificing her allies. Turkey is the
one member OF the Central alliance
that has lost any valuable territory
as yet-if Germany's colonies be ex-
cepted. Arabia is lost to the Turks,
an independent kingdom having been
established By the Arabs. Palestine
is gone, and the rich Mespotamian
country. These districts comprise a
very large part Of the Turkish en-
pire. and the conquests Of the Allies
are being added to daily. Germany
shows no disposition to come to the
aid Of her ally, and win them back
She wouldn't continue the war one

Four Cardinal Points in Re
construction Policy Will
Be Demanded
MINIMUM WAGE
TO BE REQUIRED
Control of Industry and
Use of Surplus Wealth,
Other Planks
fBv Associated Press.l

London, Jan. 3.-UntVerSal en-
forcement of a national minimum
wage; democratic control Of in
dustry; a revolution in national
finance and use Of the surplus wealth
for the common good-these are the
four cardinal points of the labor re-
construction policy after the war,
as submitted in a draft report of
the British labor party prepared by
a sub committee Of the executive
committee for submission at the
party conference next June, or be-
fore, should a general election rem
der it necessary. The title of the
draft report is Labor and the New
Social Order" and the report de-
clares that what has to be recon-
structed after the war, is not this
or that government department or
social machinery, but society it,
self"
If" continues the report, I'VE are
to escape the decay of civilization
itself, we must insure the building
up of a new social order"
Regarding democratic control of
industry, the report complains that
neither the government nor either
of the great political parties has yet
formulated any plan for dealing with
the rehabilitation Of the millions Of
soldiers, and says:
Amy government allowing dis
charged soldiers or munition workers
to fall into the clutches of charity
or the poor law, would have to be in
stantly driven from Office by an out
burst of popular indignation"
The report suggests a minimum
wage of 80 shillings weekly as the
very lowest statutory base line for
the least skilled adult workers and
that the hours Of labor wherever
practical, should not exceed 4S
weekly. 1t urges that the govern
ment should prepare for the demob-
ilization period through public
works. including the building of mil
lions of new cottages for the rehOus-
ing Of the population.
The report demands the removal
of all wartime restrictions on free
dom of speech and publication and
declares against the continuance Of
a moment longer than
is imperatively required by the war.
1t insists upon the abolition Of the
house Of lords and strenuously OPP
poses any new second chamber. It
demands also the naturalization of
the land, railways, mines and the
production of electrical power and
urges the taking of the manufacture
and sale of alcoholic drink out of the
hands Of private enterprise, whose
is to promote the utmost
possible consumption"
The report concludes by stating
that the labor party seeks no in
crease of territory and disclaims all
ideas Of an economic war.

WALKER URGES HOLDERS
TO GET SETTLEMENT
Bankers Insurance Company To Go
Into Hands of Receiver, Presi-
dent Walker Writes.

Bismarck, N. d., Jan. S.-Writing
the state insurance commissioner,
President Walker of the Bankers
Insurance Co. of Helena, Mont, adj
vises that following the report Of the
recent joint examination Of his COM
pany by Montana and North and
South Dakota insurance commits
sions, the attorney general Of Mon
tana has announced his intention OF
bringing suit to throw the company
into a receivers hands.
The head OF the Bankers urges,
therefore, that North Dakota policy
holders whose claims have not been
settled effect an adjustment at the
earliest possible moment.
Deputy Insurance Commissioner
Aaslakson states that news that the
Bankers is to go into the hands of
a receiver is no surprise to his de-
partment.

GIVING HIM HIS DUE.

II can be done.
What goes up in price can be
brought down.
When the fuel administrator put a
limit Of half ton on hard coal pur-
Chases, the price was raised 60 cents
to allow for the extra cost of deliv-
cry.
When the order was modified, so
that ton might be delivered, the
average consumer, remembering past
experiences, fully expected to see the
so cent charge remain.
1t didn't.
We welcome the chance to say
something pleasant about the coal
man.

sibility that the Bolshevik govern
ment might be forced to return to
the people with the information that
Germany had refused a peace on the
terms of no indemnities and no an
nexations, and the further possibili-
ty that the government might then
send out a rallying call to all parties
10 unite in one last effort against
the Germans. This would seem to be
good politics, both internal and inter-
national.
After that was written n most sig
nificant dispatch came from London,
and it was also published last even
ing. 1t was the statement of the
Petrograd correspondent of The Lon
don News, who has been able to
establish connections with Leon
Trotzky and win his confidence,
judging from the dispatches he has
been able to send out. He states
positively that the peace negotiations
have been broken off, because of the
German attitude. This was later
confirmed in part and contradicted
in part, by another dispatch from
another source, saying the delegates
had returned to Petrograd and re-
ported progress, but that the nego-
tiations would continue, though with
little prospect Of success.
If the negotiations are broken off,
the only logical course for the Boil
shevik government would be to try
to use the refusal of Germany to
rally the people to the government;
to continue an active propaganda
through the German Socialists for
an uprising, and to resume the war.
Early dispatches today make the
prospects of this move appear still
stronger.
If this is the outcome, it would be
a staggering blow to Germany, both
from military and political stand
point. It would lend tremendous i'm
petus to the movement within Ger
many for a more representative gov
peace with Russia would be
a most bitter disappointment after
the high hopes that have been held
out; and it would force Germany to
rush troops back to the eastern
front, if only to defend it with the
of lines. These troops are
needed sadly in the west now.
That is the most hopeful view to
take OF it. There is the possibility, |
Of course, that the BolshevilIi are, as
has been claimed, the mere agents !
Of Germany and will do her bidding, |
but If their much heralded desire for /
a general peace Of democracy is an
honest claim, the situation in Russia
may clarity with surprising rapidity. |
In that possibility lies the chief hope |
for ending the war this year.

Cincinnati authority says your
troublesome corns just
loosen and fall off

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns
or .corns between the toes Just loosen
in their sockets and fall off the next
day if you will apply directly upon
the corn few drops Of a drug called
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
You merely put a drop or two Of
this freezone on the tender, touchy
corn today and instantly the corn
stops hurting, then tomorrow some
times you may find the old torturous
pest somewhere in your stocking,
having fallen off entirely without a
particle of soreness, pain or irrita-
ton. The skin surrounding and be-
meath the former corn will be as
health, pink and smooth as the palm

A quarter ounce of freezone is suf-
ficient to rid ones feet of every corn
and callus, and any druggist will
charge but a ew cents for 1t. Tt is q

DEMOCRATS LOSE CONTROL

- Democrats in the House OF Repre-
Bentatiyes are threatened with the
loss OF their slender majority.
At the beginning OF the present ses-
sion, the Democrats had PA members
and the Republicans 212. There were
eight so-called independents, includ-
Ing Progressives, a Socialist and a
Nonpartisan.
Deaths and designations have TAX
en- three Democrats, and several more
designations are expected as a result
Of the Tammany victory in New York.
The Democrats expect to emerge with
hut 2O7 members, compared to 209
Republicans.
On the face Of 1t, the independents
would hold the balance of power, and
in peace times this doubtless would
be the case But the war is now the
chief and about the only thought OF
Congress. The President is finding
some OF his most loyal supporters
among the Republican members, and
there is no fear Of lack of support
for the administration on any i'm
portant war measure If it meets the
approval of the majority Of citizens.
Nor is IT likely that the RepubH-
cans viii attempt to GUST Speaker
Clark, although they may demand a
better representation on some Of the
important committees and get it.
This would be a beneficial move, IL
IL resulted in the real leaders among
the Republicans finding tasks that
would demand their best service.
There is work enough for alf at the
present session and any attempt to
play party politics by either party,
would meet with scant sympathy.

NEWPORT MAY BECOME USEFUL

Shades of. Ward McAllister and
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish!
The government is considering
communicating the summer cot
tages" of Newport for residences for
men employed in shipbuilding yards.
That is suggested as a partial So
luton Of the housing problem that is
handicapping seriously the ship
building program.
After his hard days work in the
shipyards, the son Of toll will-if the
plan works out-step into a special
trolley car, say home James" and
dismount at one OF the marble pal
aces. He will wash up In his private
bath, take a plunge in the private
swimming pool, and step into the
palatial dining room for his simple
meal of beefsteak and onions. After
dinner, the ball room will be available,
IL 1t is not occupied as a dormitory
for the unmarried men.
In summer in his slippers and shirt
sleeves, he can enjoy an evening pipe
ton the front verandah, surveying his
estate, or step over to the Casino for
the weekly hop OF his union. He can
have his garden in the Conservatives
and grow potatoes instead OF orchids.
Instead Of midnight swimming par
ties in the fountains. and monkey din
ners, Newport will be entertained and
enlightened with talks on the rights
OF the laboring man. We foresee the
Organization Of societies for social
settlement work among the poor,
downtrodden capitalists; societies for
bettering the conditions of widows Of
bankers; societies to give fresh air
Vacations to the ragged little children
of railroad presidents.
