Colonel Harvey reviews "A Four
teen Point-less Treaty" IN his weekly
as follows:
"First-'Open covenants OF peace

No Serious Results.
To the same general effect is "The
Detroit Free Press"
AS a matter OF fact, IL is doubt
ful whether any serious results would
come from a refusal OF the upper house
to place It's seal OF approval on the
German treaty. The reason for re-
fusal would be made clear. Berlin
would understand perfectly well the
causes and significance OF the refusal

tlon OF Germany TO a condition OF I'm

The Converts.
There are a few Republican papers
with independent leanlngs which argue
In the same direction. "The Grand
Forks a. d. Herald" holds that the
peace terms and the league arc "ln-
exoxtrlcably welded together" and that
the treaty must be accepted as a whole
or rejected. Says The Philadelphia In
qulrer"
1T Is impossible 20 think that a few
Senators would care 20 take the re-
sponsibllity OF sldetracklng the United

would seem to be utterly out OF the
question"
But the great bulk Of Republican
opinion il very far from taking this
view The comments insist that the
treaty must not be made a party meas
ure. Almost an agree that the treaty
must be ratified. But there Is urgent
demand that II be ratified only after
amendments or with reservations. Says

can advertisement in one of the
trade newspapers" says the Whining
ton Morning News, "tells of a large
quantity of shoes for sale to the ex-
port trade. There are 466,OOO pairs
and curious thing about it is that
the price asked for the best is $5.75 a
pair. Of this lot there are fewer than
5000 pairs. The average price is
about $3.50 a pair. Probably, if the
shoes are sold abroad, the ultimate
consumer in a foreign land will get a
pair for much less than the same
shoes would be sold for in the Ameri-
can markets. With prices of shoes
soaring in this country it is inter
esting to note that the prices asked for
these foreign shipments direct from a
factory are not high. And yet men
in the leather trade declare tina shoes

erably from the present figure"

YEAR RICH IN CENTENARIES
Natal Day Celebrations of Many Fa-
nous People Will Take Place
During 1919.

This year of grace 1919 is rich in
centenaries. To begin with. it is a
hundred years since Queen Victoria ap-
peared on Mother Earth-a centenary
concerning which the monthlies will
presently be waxing eloquent, London
Tit-Bits states.
Another noted centenary of the
present year is that of the famous old
sea-dOg, Admiral Rodney, the man in
whom for years the French found so
persistent an assailant, so doughty an
adversary. Twas way back in 1919
that this old gentleman first delighted
his friends with his pIRsence. The
centenary of W. E. Foster, the states
man, will also be celebrated this year.
Few greater authorities on education
than this gifted sOn-in-law of the great
Doctor Arnold of Rugby ever breathed.
Among other worthless whose names
must also be mentioned in this con-
nectiOn is that Of John Campbell
Sharp, the WOrdswOrthian poet and
philosopher; Arthur Hugh ClOugh. the
poet, and Charles Kingsley, the gifted
author of that immortal thriller,
westward Hot"
Scotsmen will presently be doing
honor to the memory of another noted
individual whose centenary also falls
this year-a man worthy of a happier
fate-Donald Cargill. the great COW
enanter, who, it will be remembered,
for daring to excOmmunicate the king,
was executed at the Old Market
Cross, Edinburgh. Neither must we
forget George Eliot, the authoresS Of
that unparalleled romance. adam

Smyrna folk certainly must have
more than their fill of government
control and operation of railroads.
The manner in which the government
has operated, and still is operating,
the little branch line between Smyrna
and Clayton is travesty upon the
name of railroading.
"While the line is a short one, it
represents a principle that is being
violated much more shamefully under
government operation than it ever
was violated under private operation.
Here is a sample of what is being
done on that short line:
"The train takes passengers from
Smyrna out to the first northbound
train at Clayton, but it does not run
back to Smyrna for the accommoda-
ion of passengers from down the
State, who get off at Clayton and
who desire to go to Smyrna. They
must walk or, if there be a jitney
there, pay twenty-five cents for ride
to Smyrna. Other main line trains
are not met at all.
"The policy that has been inaugu-
rated at the expense of the metropo-
lis of northern Kent has caused justi-
fable indignation throughout the
neighborhood." Wilmington Evening
Journal.
Smyrna times., 1919-07-30

The site for the handsome new High
School building for "Symrna Special
District is still the subject of more
or less talk and speculation. Four
sites: the Smyrna-Clayton road near
Flat Iron Point; Frazier street from
present school ground back the width
of the athletic field to Lake Como "a
school colony plan) the lot on South
street opposite the Cunningham resi-
dence, and a lot somewhere between
Union and Pearl streets at North
street extension. While the "colony
plan" of having the High School, the
Grammar School, the proposed and
much needed gymnasium and auditor
ium and athletic field all together, is
meeting with probably more general
approval, it is realized by some that
with the new High School located
here and the opening thru of Market
street an ideal outcome would be
the result. The local and State
Board Of Education have a serious
problem on hand, but whatever the de-
cision let them not forget the advan-
ages of Smyrna's public utilities and
fire protection, and the building Of
the school at "the center of greatest
population"

What has become of the Zone Post
at >"The Four Corners" If ever it
was needed, it is now. Indeed the
suggestion of Councilman Fortner
that a post be placed at the Main
street intersections of South street
and of Mt. Vernon street, is not amiss,
either. But then let's have them!
Council has already delayed longer
than they should. With increasing
motor vehicle traffic, zone posts are a
guide and a safety. Let US hope an
accident will not catch Town Council
mapping.

Smyrna Town Council is doing the
right thing in ordering repairs to the
south end of Main street, especially
the causeway over Lake Como. This
road is in a miserable condition and
really the only section now in town
limits that is "on the bum." When
Councils repairs this, and when Con-
tractor Lovett finishes up with the
work he has on hand, it can be safely
said that no town in the State can
boast of better streets. 1t has cost
a deal of amount of money to put
Smyrna streets in order, but better
advertisement for the town could not
have been accomplished. Motorists
coming down the State will have a
smooth roadbed from town limits to
town limits and over the Lake the
State and county is preparing to re-
surface the road on out to the dupont
boulevard. Then if the motorist turns
either way on Commerce street he
will find a smooth, even street to
town limits on either the route tC
Clayton or to Smyrna Landing. Smyr-
ma has surely made wonderful strides
IN its street improvement.

More than usual interest is shown
this year in the prizes offered by the
State Board of Agriculture for yields
of corn and potatoes, but it is not
late to enter the contest. The prizes
run from ten to sixty dollars with
gold and silver medals for seed corn.
Farmers should take advantage of
these prizes as stimulus to growing
better crops and should get full in
