VOTE NEXT TUESDAY

1t is admitted that any measure put
up to vote of the people, which in
wolves a tax, no matter how small
the levy is and no matter how neces-
sary and worthy the measure is, re-
quires the earnest, active support of
those voters who are progressive and
have the welfare of the community at
heart. It's for this reason that it is
incumbent on you, Mr.. Citizen, to go
to the polls next Saturday and cast a
vote for the proposed county hospital
and, also, to see that your neighbors
cast a vote likewise.

CHILDREN AND BOOKS

1t is in our youth that ideals ana
standards of living are formed. And
it is from books that We get these
ideals and standards.
Through the efforts of the Tuesday
Club the children of Columbia have
been provided with a small number
of books. But the demand is far
outdistancing the supply. The chill
dren are asking for books and more
books. Those books are not in good
condition and the hours that the chill
dren may read them are limited and
short in number.
1t seems to us that Columbia should
find a way to provide sufficient books
of high standard for the children of
the town. The number of families in
proportion to the population of Co
lumbia that have adequate Libraries is
comparatively small. And so it is
that many children must go without
books.
Habits formed early in life usually
stick with US and there is nothing
more beneficial to man and the COM
munity than the habit of reading good
literature. Can't we give our children
the chance to form this habit?

THEIR CLOCKS NOT CHANGED
Southeast Missouri Farmers Go by the
Old Time.

Federal officials who have just re-
turned from session Of the United
State District Court at Cape Girar-
deau, NO., learned while there that
farmers in Southeast Missouri and
Southwest Illinois have not moved
their clocks and watches forward an
hour, in accordance with the day
light saving plan, but are still fol-
lowing sun time, says the st. Louis
Republic.
Cape Girardeau clocks have been
moved up, but a ferryboat which
operates between that town and the
Illinois shore is still on the old
schedule. One of the court officials
was surprised when he heard a visitor
from Illinois ask merchant if his
clock was running on "sun time or on
ferryboat time" He questioned this
farmer, who said "all the folks in the
country preferred the old time sys-
tenn because it had always been their
habit to "get up by the sun"

WILSON'S PEACE sTATEMENT

FOLLOWING is Ine text OF freSi-
dent Wilson's statement on the
peace conference deadlock:
in view of the capital import
ance of the question affected and
in order to throw all possible
light upon what is involved in
their settlement, / hope that the
following statement will contri-
butte to the final formation of
opinion and to satisfactory So
luton.
When Italy entered the war
she entered upon the basis of a
definite private understanding
with Great Britain and France,
now known as the pact of Lon
don. Since that time the whole
face of circumstances has been
altered. Many other powers,
great and small, have entered the
struggle, with no knowledge of
that private understanding.
''The Hungarian EN-
pire, then the enemy of Europe,
and at whose expense the pact of
London was to be kept in the
event of a victory, has gone to
pieces and no longer exists.
Not only that, but the several
parts of that empire, it is agreed
now by Italy and all her asso-
ciates, are to be erected into
independent states and associated
in a League of Nations, not with
those who were recently our enc
mics, but with Italy herself and
the powers that stood with Italy
in the great war for liberty.
I'VE are to establish their lib
erty as well as our own. They
are to be among the smaller
states whose interests are hence
forth to be safeguarded as scupu-
lously as the interests of the most
powerful states.
THE war was ended, morever,
by proposing to Germany an ar
mistice and peace which should be
founded on certain clearly defined
principles which set up new or
der of right and justice. Upon
these principles the peace with
Germany has been conceived, not
only, but formulated. Upon those
principles it will be effected. We
cannot ask the great body of
powers to propose and effect
peace with Austria and establish
a new basis of independence and
right in the states which origin
ally constituted the Austro-Hun-
garian Empire and in the states
of the Balkan group on principles
of another kind. We must apply
the same principles to the settle
ment of Europe in those quarters
that We have applied in the peace
with Germany.
1t was upon the explicit avow-
al of those principles that the
initiative for peace was taken. 1t
is upon them that the whole
structure of peace must rest.
IF those principles are to be
adhered to, Fiume must serve as
the outlet of the commerce, not of
Italy, but of the land to the north
and northeast of that port, Hun
gary, Bohemia, Rumania and the i
states of the new Jugo-Slav
group. To assign Fiume to Italy
would be to create the feeling
that we have deliberately put the
port upon which all those coun-
tries chiefly depend for their ac-
cess to the Mediterranean in the i
hands of power which it did
not form an integral part and
whose sovereignty, if set up
there, must inevitably seem for
eign, not domestic or identified
with the commercial and indus
trial life of the regions which the
port must serve. 1t is for that
reason, no doubt, that Fiume was
not included in the pact of Lon
don, but there definitely assigned
to the Croatians.
