The big business men who came to
Washington to help run affairs during
TIE war had some troubles of their
own, which were explained by one of
them about to depart, his work having
been finished. He said that when he
arrived in Washington he met quite

been more or less associated in bust
ness affairs and was informed by them
that he would meet In Washington
either socialists or stuffed shirts"
This phrase was not elaborated, but
the business man went on to explain
that the average man who came to
Washington generally found himself
up against a lot Of men with salaries
of $500 or $1,000 year, who were OBJ
structlOnists. They were the class of
men who had been long in the govern
ment service and they always found

artists; they were the men who were

there was the way this business man
who had been doing war work sized
them up. He said one reason why

disregarded much of the red tape and
moth-eaten systems Of the past.

General satisfaction Is expressed
with the desire of the department of
justice to have deported most of the
enemy aliens now interned for their
perniclous activities. These men and
women-a few of the gentler sex are
included-were either German spies
and agents, taking their chances as
such, or else traitors to the country
that had given them shelter. In either
case they are not wanted in America
and should be sent back to the land
they came from or that they served.
There are lot of others who might
well be deported, but we are too mild
hammered a people for our own good
in such matters.

ming of the week, and NJ. Cemenceau
was expected back from brief vaca-
ton at the same time. Mr.. Lloyd
George arrived in the French capital
Saturday. Conferences among the
representatives Of the allies were to
begin at once. II seems probable that
the number of delegates to the peace
conference will be enlarged so that
experts in certain lines may sit at the
board when the things they know most
about are being discussed. Great Brit
aims delegates include Lloyd George,
Balfour and BOnar Law, and among
the advisers on special matters are
such men as Vlscount Hardinge, Sir
William G. Tyrrell Sir Louis Mallet,
Sir Esme Howard, Sir Ralph Paget.
Sir Eyre Grove and Lord Robert Cecil
an imposing list of truly big men
thoroughly trained In diplomacy and
statecraft.
The numerous and complicated
questions that the peace conference
must take up and settle have given rise
to the suggestion that the congress
should be continuing body so that flu
ture developments might be taken in
to consideration and matters decided
that are now too hazy for clear vision.
If this plan were adopted, the forma-
ton of the league of nations might not
be so pressing question as 1t is now
considered by President Wilson and

The holsheviki claimed the capture,

of the nOnbolshevik government in the
region west of the Ural mountains, and

FORMER FARM BOY
HAILED CORN KING"
HAS MADE $2,2OO,OOO PROFIA IN
NINETY DAYS BY SHREWD
OPERATIONS IN MARKET.

George A. Roberts, of Omaha,
Neb., is being hailed as the new
corn king"-a farmers boy who
through shrewdness has risen to be
a millionaire.
He is reported to have made a
profit of $2,2OO,OOO in less than
three months through the advance of
more than so cents a bushel in corn
since Feb. z.
Several other Omaha men have al
So come in for large profits, but no

cleaned up the last of his corn on a
recent advance, the remnants of his
100000 bushels being sold out for
May at $1.70h.
Chicago board of trade men say
Roberts has made more money than
any of the LEGAL or other outside trad
ers, and that there has never been
time when such huge profits have
been secured in so short time.
Those who know George A. Rob-
erts say he was a farmers boy at
the start and learned the grain bust
ness from operating a country ele-
vator. A few years prior to the
worlds war he was working in q
small town out in Nebraska running
a grain elevator and earning SIS q
month. Four years ago he had nc
money, but has been a winner since

SENATOR HOKE SMITH HAS

ATLANTA. Hon. Hoke Smith,
Georgia's senior senator, has return
ed to the national capital after a
stay of several weeks in his home
state. During that time he had the
opportunity to meet and'mingle with
his friends from many sections, al
though he was forced to cancel many
speaking engagements after Presi-
dent Wilson called the extra session
of congress. The session begins next
Monday, preceded by an important
conference of democratic senators
next Saturday morning, which Sena-
tor Smith will attend.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
Senator Smith was received never
with more genuine warmth of greet
ing and assurances of support than
was given him on his recent visit.

PRESIDENT MILLS THROWS
THE GAUNTLET TO DR.. SOULE
Correspondence That Sizzles Passed
by President of Farmers Union and
Agric ultural College Head.

ATLANTA, GA. H. Mills, pres
ident of the Georgia State Farmers
Union, has thrown down the gaunt-
let to DR.. Andrew NJ. Soule, president
of the Georgia State College of Agri-
culture.
Between them has passed a CORE
spondence that is said to sizzle like
a hot battercake in the grease. When
the letters come out they will prob
ably attract attention all over the
state. 1t is not unlikely that the issue
joined between them will reach into
the legislature at the Forthcoming
session.
Exactly the points on which Pres
ident Mills and Dr.. Soule have dis
agreed has not come to light 1t is
understood, however, that President
Mills accuses DR.. Soule of an ambi-
ton to go beyond the limits of agri-
cultural education and dominate the
entire agricultural establishment of
the state government.
In the next few days it is likely
that the whole correspondence will
be given to the newspapers.

pear all the expense of paving with
the exception of the engineering

TO say that the property owner should
not be called on to pay for the paw
ing OF his sidewalk because all the
people use it. Yet the city does not
pay one cent of this expense, and
the property owner bears it all.
The statement has also been made
that II anything gets the matter with
the Main street sewer nothing can be
done about it for five years. This is
based on misunderstanding 1t is
proposed that sewer connections be
made to the edge of the street where
the property is not now so connect

have to be dug up to make such con-
nectlons later on. Practically all the
property is already so connected, and
IN the few cases where it is not the
cost of putting down few feet of
pipe the length of half the street can
be done at negligible expense.
1t is also said that the paving of
the streets and the incident cost to
the property owners will discourage
people from owning property here.
Probably the best answer which could
be made to such an argument is the
position announced by Main street
property owner from whom it was

THEIR INDEPENDENCE
IS SEEN BY WOMEN
CLOSE TO 100000 NOW WORK.
ING FOR SELF. NO DRAFT
BACK TO THE HOME.

A survey of the business and pro-
fessional women of the country will
be one of the first tasks undertaken
by the National Federation of Bust
ness Women, declared Mrs. Herbert
Woodward, of New York city, in urg-
ing those interested in economical
problems to unite for mutual benefit.
"Women will become more and
more economically independent
whether they are married or not,
said Mrs. Woodward. mine out of
ten women who have arrived in a
business sense will admit that they
have had to fight handicaps because
of sex. Disregarding the thousands
of girls who hold down jobs only
till they get married there are mil
lions of women in business for life.
1t is only fair that they demand equal
advantages for progress with men and
equal pay for equal work
'In the United States today be-
tween 100000 and 100000 wo-
men are working" said Mrs. Wood
ward. "The time has come when def
mite action must be taken to back
the issues which so seriously affect
them. 1t is folly to argue that be-
cause the war is over women will
drift out of industry Women had
broken into the business and indus
trial world before the war and the
war only tended to increase their
numbers. The old conditions of home
life will never obtain. The fact must
be faced that married women as we'll
as the unmarried will continue to
earn their own living.
"All the business women's clubs
will be linked together in a national
organization to be formed in st.
Louis in July. The national as well
as the state declarations will take no
heed of creeds or religion. for the
purpose is to include all business and
professional women"
To show how all inclusive the
movement is Mrs. Woodward said
that the national committee is COM
posed of ore architect, one Wall
street broker, one banker, one law
yer and one social service worker.
These women are Miss Maude Smith,
Miss Eugenia Wallace, Mrs. Ida Fos-
ter and Miss Lena Phillips, of New
York, and Miss Marie Bass, of Indian
apolis.

two or three years after the paving
is done when it will be worth fifty
to one hundred per cent. more than
it is now. l am looking for a real
boom of Main street property"
Based on the experience of other
towns the laying of the pavement will
be the opening wedge of growth and
prosperity. Not to undertake this i'm
provement means that the town will
go steadily backward. 1t means we
will ultimately have dead town, with
our neighbors taking our trade and
our people.
How would that affect the value of
property in Dawson?
Every voter who is interested in
the welfare of the city should go
to the polls tomorrow and vote for
bonds.
