China.
Another subject taken up by the
president in his answers to questions
and in h~issspeeches was the Irish ques-
ton. This, he asserted, could prop
erly be brought up in the council of
the league under article XI, (which
makes it the right of every member
of the league to draw attention to any,
thing anywhere that is likely to dis
turb the peace Of the world or the
good understanding between nations.
upon which the peace of the world de-
pends." The covenant would not bind
the United States to assist in putting
down rebellion in any foreign
try, he said, nor would it limit the
power of this country to recognize the
independence of any people who seek
to secure freedom. He explained that
Ireland was not given a hearing at the
peace conference because the confer
ence had no jurisdiction yer ques-
lions of that sort that affected terri
tories that did not belong to the de-
feated empires.
The Irish-American opponents of the
league were far from satisfied with
this reply, and especially did they dis
like what they termed the presidents
righteousness. They asked him to
answer point-blank the question: Are
you in favor of self-determination for
Ireland?' and requested a reply by
September IS, when the Irish execu-
tive committee meets in New York. 1t
does not seem possible that they ex-
pect a "yes-or-no' answer to such a
question.
Some one must have whispered a
warning to Mr.. Wilson concerning the
resentment caused by his general at
lacks on all senators who do not favor
ratification Of the treaty as it stands,
for last week his speeches were
much more conciliatory, and he even
had good words to say concerning the
mild reservationists." But his ex-
pressed opinion of the Borah-Johnson
group had not changed. Throughout
the country there is evident a de-
termination to learn definitely what
the, treaty and covenant mean. and the
crowds that flock to hear the presi-
dent and the opposition senators are
not actuated solely by curiosity to see
and hear notables. Each in his
way, and from his standpoint. the
speakers are trying to enlighten the
people, and 1t is especially crafty
ing to note that Mr.. Wilson is more
explicit in his explanations of the
articles over which the main contests
have arisen.
The national committee for organiz-
ing iron and steel workers announced
that the great steel strike would be-
gin Monday, September %, according
to schedule, since every effort to hold
a conference with Chairman Gary of
the United States Steel corporation
had failed. Mr.. Gary issued a state
ment explaining his refusal on two
grounds: First, that he did not be-

Japan, according to report, has been
asked by the United States to pledge
formally the return Of Shantung to
China, and to set a date for the resto-
ration. At the time of writing no re-
ply had been received from Tokyo,
and the japanese foreign office de-
MED that any such note had been re-
ceived from Washington. In state
ments issued in California, in reply to
lists of questions asked him, President
Wilson asserted that the League of
Nations would have a powerful effect
in forwarding the final restoration Of
Shantung to China, and that no other
fundamentally or action could be sub
stituted which could bring about that
result. In one of his San Francisco
addresses he said the great powers
had Japan's promise to return Shan
.tung to China, and intended to see
that 1t was fulfilled under the league.
His colleagues at Versailles, he said,
told him they meant under the league
to inaugurate a new policy toward
China.

Announcement that the carpenters
strike and consequent building indus
try tie-up in the Chicago district had
ended was not only premature, but
seemingly false. The carpenters were
ostensibly given a chance to vote on
the question, but instead of a secret
ballot, the voting vas open, and the
contractors assert that thus the labor
bosses were able to intimidate the men
and obtain a majority for rejection of
the compromise offered.

OUR RETURNING SOLDIERS.

Numbers of soldiers and sailors
wearing the uniform of their country
are daily increasing in our city and
county. The same thing is true of
every other city and county in the
state and land. They have come home
after having served honorably and
faithfully righteous cause, to resume
their walk in life. They must now
return to the everyday affairs of the
ordinary citizen. They have reflected
credit in the highest degree upon their
uniform, their flag and their parents.
But because the war is over and there
is no longer the tumult and the shout
ing of battle they must not think
that they do not have just as high,
as honorable and an even more inn
portant role to play in life.
Being a good citizen and that is
what The Heard hopes and believes
every ex-soldier and ex-sailor will and
should be, in an every day affair. It
is not accompanied with much display
and martial airs are lacking, but in a
democratic government the good citi-

zen lS the SalVatl0n OF the country.
Most OF the veterans who are return
ing to the private walks Of life in
this county are the grandsons of Con
federate veterans. They have in camp,
on the high seas and in the battles
din proven themselves worthy of
their magnificent inheritance. But
gallant as were the Confederates on
the field Of battle, devoted as they
were to their cause in the certainty
Of defeat, heroic as they were in suf-
fering and adversely, their chief claim
to nations gratitude and their high
est honor, consists not in what they
did in war, but in what they accom-
plished in peace. The finest citizen
ship that any land ever knew We're
the men of the South who for four
long and cruel years wore the gray.
They wrought much in the midst of
the shocks and shell of battle, but they
did infinitely more, when returning to
their devastated homes, their stricken
land, with the great foundation of its
property forever gone, they struck
boldly forth and achieved better
and a higher civilization. Poor in
this worlds goods, with their whole
social fabric destroyed, their homes
in ruins their lands grown up to
briars and weeds, with nothing but
their own indominitable will and their
devotion to the high ideals of good
citizenship, within few years they
had again made the South the fairest
portion of the world. The better the
soldier the finer the citizen.
While developing the South in the
arts of peace they also restored it to
the rule of the white man, but they
treated their former slaves with
generosity and consideration that is
without example in the annals of time.
They not only taxed their worn out
acres to educate their own, but also
for the education Of the children OF
their ex-slaves. They absolutely rul-
ed the South and ruled it we'll kfor
nearly a generation. "a
IS The Herald can therefore wish for
the returning soldiers and sailors
nothing better than that they should
in peace, as they have in war, emu
late the splendid example set by their
grandsires. If they will take upon
themselves the burdens and RESPONSE
bilities of citizenship as their Confed-
crate forebears did,, with the oppor-
tunities which they will enjoy and
which were denied the veterans of the
sixties, they will prove a bles sing and
benediction to not only their own
land but to the free peoples of all the
world.

THE NEW COUNTY COURT.

The county court ais now composed
has fourteen new members upon
whom rests the esponsibility for
maintaining the progressive record
established by their predecessors.
Consequently it was with earnest
scrutiny that their actions early in
the game were watched by all good
citizens who are jealous of the well
fare of Maury county. That they
have measured up to the standard set
by the court for several years was
evidenced by their prompt approval
of all measures bearing upon the
county's material affairs. They were
liberal in their appropriations Mon
day for the continuation of the farm
and home demonstration work, for
the maintenance of bridges, for the
opening of roads, for public health
and for all essential things, but
there was at the same time a plain
disposition among the members to
zealously watch the county treasury
and to prevent the waste of funds.
That they will exercise commend
able restraint in this respect is re-
assuring
There was a distinct spirit Of unity
among the members as they heard
the timely and wise advice of County
Judge w. C. Whitthorne that they
give close study to the financial
status of the county with the view to
establishing a sounder basis for all
business transactions. The members
of the court were asked by Judge
Whitthorne to study his report in the
light of the explanations made by
him so that future appropriations and
tax levies may be made with definite
knowledge of the county's resources
so that appropriations will not exceed
the income and SO that the indebted
ness Of the county may be wiped out
That is big task that has been laid
before the members of the court, but
with serious cooperation it is not an
impossible one.
Maury county has been fortunate
in the selection of it's county court.
The members have always been hui
man beings of course and therefore
subject to the frailities of human ma
ture, but as whole the courts actions
have been directed forward. Few
have been the tendencies toward re-
progression. The court as now con
stituted bears every mark of a pro
gressive body, one that will continue
to conduct the affairs of the county
toward the ideal of perfection, which
is an ever changing condition.
Actions that meet the requirements
of today, may be obsolete next year.
1t is poor business that cannot be
improved from year to year. The
approach to or arrival at one ideal
may be but an elevation from which
higher ideals may be perceived The
governmental body, the business or
the individual that becomes ioped
with the theory that what it has ae-
complished is sufficient loses its
force and deteriorates.
Maury county is one of the richest
in the state. 1t is inhabited by a /
population unexcelled in intelligence
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1919-01-17

and patriotism anywhere in the
world. 1t is as nearly an ideal unit
of civilization as may be found among
the peoples of the earth. CoRse-
quently the honor Of being a member
of the governing body of the public
affairs of such a county is brilliant
one and one that requires the best
efforts on the part of the person who
holds it.
