PROMISE GIVEN

MEET TO PASS.
ON PEACE PACT.

In what is regarded as an eleventh
hour effort to cheat the Germans
and their aide, Lenine, of their
shameless Russo-German peace the
United States today is pledged to
an enormous bargain-to do its ut
most to restore Russia's place in the
sun, minus German domination.
This is the pledge President Will
son has made in a message to the
Russian Soviets, sitting today to
ratify or reject the Lenine pact.
Last week, President Wilson was
doubtful about making further over
lures with the Russians.
Time for Action.
The split between Trotsky and
Lenins, however, apparently deter
mined him that there was a chance
that a friendly word from America
would help the Russians to cast aside
the German terms and do something
toward nEhting the Germans. Trot-
sky's break manifestly was the re-
suit OF Lenine's proven treachery to
he-revolution, and the single word
of encouragement from the leading
democracy, America. may be all that
is needed to prevent ratification OF
the treaty.
Wilson's pledge is
Il beg to assure the people OF Rus
ala through the congress that II (the
United Ststes) will avail itself OF
every opportunity to secure for Rus
sia once more complete sovereignty
and independence in her own affairs
rnd full restoration to her great role

BLOWING HOT AND COLD

It is rather amusing to see one of
The weekly papers of the District
''blowing hot for Gordon Lee, week
end and week out, upon the ground
las they claim) that he has been 10y
al to President Wilson and the meas
ures he advocated The Congression-
al Record shows that Mr.. Lee voted
against the amendment to the war
measure which provided for the
raising of our army by conscrip~
ton, and also against other measures
advocated by President Wilson.
Then to see the same paper "Olow"
cold" against Congressman Howard,
and asks his defeat, when the records
show that he voted and worked for
practically every measure advocated
by the President.
1t is not Mr. Lees loyalty that is
the cause of such active support of
him, nor Mr.. Howard's disloyalty,
that causes such active opposition.
We would Ike to ask if it is not
true that Dada" or the "Old Man"
as they sometimes cali him, bitterly
opposed the conscript bill, denounc~
ing it on the streets, and elsewhere,
and did he not at that time have two
sons of draft age? And when the
act passed was there not great activ-
ity to secure safe positions for these
two Young men? And were they
not given positions through the help
of Bill Harris, far behind the firing
line? And when this was accom-
plshed did not the opposition to the
conscript act from this source cease,
and also the blowing hot" for Bill
Harris begin?
Bill Harris is "gum-shoeing" in 9th
er parts of the state, claiming that
he got easy wellpaying positions for
various people. Most of these pos
itions were safe places, far behind the
firing line, where there could be no
smell of powder and lead, and were
for the sons of influential families.
The war will have to be won by
men on the battle front, and not by
men in safe position places that Har-
ris has been helping.
The Marietta journal and courier., 1918-06-07
HIDING BEHIND THE PREsIDET

We cannot believe Mr.. Harris when
he tells us that the President of the
United States selected him for our
next Senator more than year ago.
But we do know that Harris has been
conducting a gum shoe campaign for
that long, and has had number OF
organs in the state ready to attack
any other man who might think of
entering the race, and ready to brand
every man as unpatriotic, who dared
suggest any other candidate.
Should Mr.. Harris and his organs
finally make che people believe that
the President actually nominated him
for the next Senator from Georgia,
and closed the list year ago, it
would be one of the worst things we
we can think of happening.
The people of Georgia think highly
of their President, and are loyal to
their government and they can not
believe that Mr.. Wilson did any such
thing.
We do not think the people of Ga.
want Mr. Harris for Senator, but that
has nothing to do with the question.
Do not shake the faith of the people
by trying to make them believe the
President selected" and demanded
the election of Mr.. Harris, or any
one else for that matter.
Over in South Carolina they are al
so squabbling over which candidate
for the Senate has been selected"
by the President to oppose Blease.
Is not the country in deplorable
condition if it is true that the Presi-
dent has to "select" all it's candi-
dates?
We believe that the people of Ga.
are loyal and intelligent enough to be
trusted with selecting" and "elect-
ing" their own Senators, and we be-
lieve that Mr.. Wilson will approve of
their choice.
Turn loose the Presidents coattail,
gentlemen, we will judge you on your
own merits. The people can tell how
big or how little you really are.

LEE ON OFF SIDE AGAIN,

Washington, May 23.-The admin
istration food production bill, author
izing the department of agriculture
to spend $1O,864, 400 to increase pro-
duction, was passed by the house late
today with a provision stipulatinp
that the principal appropriation, Sc,
100000 for the expenses of county
agents, shall not be available unless
the President issues a proclamation
forbidding the use of foods for the
manufacture of liquor.
Prohibition advocates won their
fight by vote of TT to 1873, sus-
tanning the tentative vote taken Tu-
esday. They are now preparing to
campaign for the provision in the
senate.-Atlanta Constitution.
Did Mr. Lee vote with the prohi-
bition advocates? Well hardly, the
Congressional Record shows his vote
on the other side.

HOLD YOUR LIBERTY BONDS!

The American who buys Liberty
Bond and forthwith sells it has per-
formed only half service for his
country To buy bonds and then sell
them Immediately tends to make the
war burden of the country heavier
instead of lighter, as it decreases the
market value of the bonds.
Liberty Bonds are the safest and
soundest and one of the best invest
ments in the world To sell them un-
less imperatively required is not good
business, is not good Americanism.

THE u BOATS

All recent reports indicate that the
British and American Navies have at
last been to large extent successful
against the U boats of Germany.
The lowering of the ship insurance
rate is another proof that this is true.
Still however a number of ships
are being sunk and not few subs
are still at work. 1t is not possible
to stop them altogether.
We have often wondered why the
subs have made no attack upon any
of our coast cities, for it is certain
that they could approach and do some
damage, and perhaps, escape without
loss to themselves.
Such an attack of course would be
of no real war value to the Kaiser,
and it would tend to awaken our peo-
pie to our part in the war as nothing
else could
1t is perhaps the last that restraints
them. The Kaiser is not anxious to
poke any sticks into the hornets nest
when he already has his hands full
on the other side.
However at any time we should
not be surprised to have taste of the
war on this side.
The above was put into type last
Saturday, and on Sunday the attacks
on shipping was made, so we were
very nearly correct in our forecast.

straddling patriots in Washington
acted when the draft bill was up.

thinking it was wise and right to raise
the army this way. His congressman
was reputed to be standing by the
President land the voter wrote that
no doubt he was doing so in this mat
ter also.
In a few days he received the fol
lowing reply, which at the time SEEM
ed very satisfactory to him:
