ing the origin and development of the
provisions OF the Peace Treaty; and

the American people are deeply agl-

tion in this country. At later day,
when the Peace Treaty has been
acted on by the Sonata, the publica-
ton Of the bartering ana bargaining
In which President WILSON partici-
pated In Paris may achieve only a
reminiscent embarrassment for him,
but 1t Is plain from his conduct now
that at the present moment he fears
the effect disclosure would have on
him and on his enterprises.
The duty OF the Senate under such
circumstances is clear. 1t should not
be stampeded into action on the
treaty. 1t should demand every item
Of information concerning the history
Of the negotiations in Paris. Il should
refuse TO act in the dark. Il should
withhold Its vote al summer and all
fall and all winter until Its proper
demands for enlightenment are fully
met. The Senate should take for its
motto the first of the Fourteen Points
or Principles. and in the interests Of
America refuse to become a party to
the dark and suspicious International
trading President WILSON has prac-
tised and now tries to hide.

CONGRESSMAN PLATTS VOTE
He Believed the House Should Dis.
cuss Action on the Recess.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: ]
notice that I am credited with having
voted against the resolution OF Repre-
sentative Mondell resembling the six
weeks recess of the House OF Repre-
sentatives.
I voted not against the resembling
resolution but against the previous ques-
ton, with the idea that there should be
some debate-some reason given as to
what could be accomplished by remain
ing in session.
I don't believe legislation can accom-
plish anything Of consequence with re-
latIon to the high cost OF living, and II
seems to me quite as likely that railroad
legislation would be advanced by the
recess as retarded.
The recess. It should be remembered.
did not contemplate cessation of work by
the Interstate Commerce and other COM
mittees but greater freedom to work
without the constant interruption of roll
calls and the necessity of attending
sessions of the House.

MIND MATCHING.
Clemenceau Apparently Won, but Has
the Loser Defaulted3

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: II
clearly appears from recent statements
made by NJ. Clemenceau that he rejected
Marshal Foch's demand for the perma-
nent exclusion Of Germany from the left
or western bank Of the Rhine because he
preferred to that mode of national de-
fence the formal promises Of Great Brit
tain and the United States to come to
the aid of France IL attacked by Ger
many also that IL these special prom
ises had not been made France would
not have consented to the Treaty Of YER
sailles as now formulated. Mr.. Wilson
signed this special treaty OF protection
TO France. in which NJ. Clemenceau. in
the matching OF minds." took care to
provide In clear terms that this particu-
iRr treaty should be submitted to the
Senate at the same time as the Treaty of
Versailles. This stipulation has been
violated and Mr.. Wilson pocketed the
treaty.
1t seems difficult to a man of ordinary
such an express promise can hon
estly be evaded. But Mr.. Wilson's is not
an ordinary mind. In an excellent arti-
Gle in the North American Review for
August by John Corbin entitled From
Jefferson to Wilson the following
sentence from Mr.. Wilson'S history of
the United States is quoted: "Jeffer-
son deliberately practlsed the arts of
the politician and exhibited oftentimes
the sort of insincerity which subtle ma
lures yield to without loss of essential
integrity"
If N. Clemenceau should feel that he
has been betrayed by a broken pledge
into renouncing the left bank of tie
Rhine and into reliance upon the broken
reed Of a chimerical covenant OF nations
he should not accuse Mr.. Wilson of any
lack Of essential integrity" since Mr..
Wilson's is a subtle nature which can
exhibit insincerity without loss of ESSEN
tial integrity" PETER BATTLE.

way workers themselves dream such
an economic nightmare. They are
now demanding another gigantic wage
increase out Of the United States
Treasury-for there is nowhere else
whence IL can come-and they are
willing to make this Sims freak a part
Of the wage raising scheme. They are
willing to pretend to be in deadly
earnest. They are willing even to
appear to make threats.
But the railroad workers know as
well as anybody knows that at their
very best, under their most success
ful management. In their highest
prosperity, the railroads of the United
States as a whole never averaged 70
earn enough beyond 4 per cent. on
their $4,000. 100000 Of value to
buy one good cigar a man a day for
the upward Of 100000 railway en-
ployees. They know as well as any
body knows that under the Soviet
committee scheme of nobody wanting
to produce and everybody wanting to
squander they could not get out of
their railroad jobs the wages they
now get. They know as well as any
body knows that soon they could not
get out Of their railroad Jobs half the
American living they always have
had. They know as wen as anybody
knows that It would not be long. I'M
der the Soviet doctrine Of all squan-
der and no production. before they
could not get out of their railroad
jobs a dogs living.
Nobody need fear the execution Of
the Sims Soviet railroad programme.
Nobody need doubt that the already
abused and outraged American people
now sweating traffic rates and
taxes to pay railway wages would
pulverize any Government. any party.
any organization that tried to press
this Soviet committee railroad pro-
gramme to action.
But everybody may well grieve,
everybody may be sick with shame,
that at such time as this. when the
eyes Of the world are turned to Amer
lea for clear political light, for shin
ing economic sanity and for sound
business vision; when the eyes Of the
world are turned to America for hon.
est. manly endeavor, for guiding moral
example, brazen politics should spat-
ter that Bolshevist blot upon the leg
lslative branch OF the United States
Government.

WHEN MEAT WAS PLENTY.
Farmer and Butcher Both Profited
Under the Old System.

To THE EDITOR or TIE suN-sir: Anent
the prohibitive cost of meats and the
causes thereof, 4 great factor which has
been overlooked or forgotten is the elm
ination Of the local butcher.
Not SO many. years ago every town,
even village, had its small abattoIr
where locally raised stock was butch
cred and sold This, made q market
for locally raised surplus stock, Of which
there was always an abundance. Where
are these local butchering establishments
now1 Echo answers.
Twenty years ago the city in which
am writing possessed at least twenty of
these abattoirs and stock was daily
seen passing through our streets on the
way to them. Evidently stock raising
and butchering were profitable to both
farmer and butcher. and a great con-
venience to the consumer as we'll. Why
have we none of 1t now? Our farmers
have hundreds of acres Of land lying
practically idle which Is well adapted to
stock raising.
/ About the only meat now coming from
the farmer is veal from the slaughter of
the calves from the milch cows. The
farmer Is now no longer a farmer In any
real sense he 10 q milk producer. But
why should he not raise his calves and
produce beef and raise sheep and hogs
at the same timef He can produce
enough grain ana hay to feed his stock
and In 30 doing produce enough natural
fertilizer to keep up his land.
The answer is that the Western pack
ers have run out both the farmer and
the butcher. the latter first, and with
his going went the market for stock.
1t was a deliberate operation. With
huge cold storage plants established In
every centre OF population, with quick
delivery facilities, the local butcher"
now no longer a butcher. could get his
meats dressed at less cost than he could
produce them. with labor and buying
risks eliminated. The packers prices
were made to meet the eliminating prob
lem. The plan worked. and when the
local butchers were out and stock rails
then the local dealer and the consumer
danced to the music Of the monopoly's
prices. And there Is where we are now.
There 10 no good reason why the un-
cultivated. practically waste land of to-
day Of all our States should not produce
enough meats to supply all our popula-
ton. to the betterment Of the land and
the betterment OF the people. The rea-
son why this n not done is the packers
monopoly. Is II not time the depart
ments Of agriculture OF the nation and
OF the States took up this problem of
rehabflitating the local production of
meats? Tar the packers products sum-
ciently to give the local butcher a chance
once more, even II we have to pay more
or even go without their meats for a
time.
The natural laws of trade will make
business for all. Many will prefer to
pay more for the packers ripper and
possibly better product. while the masses
will have an opportunity. as OF yore.
to get good meats at reasonable prices.

There Is an American Tide In the
Hearts Of Americans.

AGofts VI AWcEtCAub.
In the Eighth Congress district of
Kentucky, a rock ribbed stronghold
Of the Democratic party, the voters
have elected a Republican to the
House of Representatives. They made
their fight on platform squarely
opposing President WILSON'S League
Of Nations. They appealed to the
electorate as Americans to preserve
the American system of govern
ment and American Independence.
The Democrats accepted the issue. and
their candidate. In additionally
Democratic district. was beaten be-
yond question and beyond cavil.
SO strong have the Democrats been
in the territory included in the Eighth
district they have not had to face
serious fight since 1896. In spite
Of this. In spite of all the ad-
vantages they enjoyed. they could not
pull their candidate through, much
less achieve victory to boast about.
when they had to carry President
WILSON and President WILSON'S poll
cies on their shoulders. The load was
too havy even for their practised
campaigners to bear, and when KING
SwoPE, the Republican nominee, car
ried the battle to them their organi-
cation was smashed to pieces.
Kentucky thus adds another to the
constantly lengthening list of defeats
for President WILSON and his party.
AS the nation rejected him and re-
jected II at the polls in 1918, as COM
munity after community has rejected
him and rejected 1t at the polls
since 1913. so Kentucky rejects him
and rejects II In 1910. Whenever the
issue has been drawn, whenever the
American voters have been able to
get at President WILSON and the VIII
son system of government, they have
denounced and disowned him and his
League of Nations.
There is tide flowing in the hearts
Of American voters and 1t Is sweeping
WOODROW WILSON and his League so
far out In the ocean of defeat that
they won't be able to smell the shore
breeze.

An Ideailstic Picture Of o League Of
Nations.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-sir: What
we all want is a league Of nations that
does not infringe the American Con-
stitution or the Monroe Doctrine; that
leaves us free to act our part when wars
occur without outside dictation; that al
lows American finances. tariff, immigra-
ton and other laws to be as they are
to-day, not to be Influenced by foreign
Powers.
II can read and understand be-
lieve this to be the desire Of the Ameri-
can people. A league OF nationsf Surely
II Il can be made practical. unlike the
much touted Hague treaty, and have the
same managed by strong men who are
not idealists and faddists.
Why try to surrender American inter
ests to foreign Powers when our Con-
stitution will not permit II?

what Justice NcwburEer's Csndi-
daey Means.

Gocy means.
That Justice JOSEPH n. NrwBuk0En
OF the Supreme Court is learned,
fearless and honest does not endow his
future with the peculiar Importance
which attaches to It to-day. Learning
and fearlessness and honesty are ex-
pected Of Judges. The thing that
makes Justice JOSEPH E. NEwBUnaER's
future important to the public to-day
Is his embodiment Of the principle
that members of the judiciary who
perform their duties satisfactorily
should be retained In Office, and that
seats ON the bench should not be dis
tributed to meet the exigencies of
partisan or fractional politics.
A good judge should be kept in
ONCE because he Is a good Judge. A
good judge should not be at the mercy
of political leader. A good judge
should be protected In office by the
people regardless Of his politics, his
religion or anything else.
It Is to vindicate this principle
the principle of a free. untrammelled
judiciary-that Justice JosEPR e.
NEwBUReER has agreed tn become a
candidate for reelection this fall, and
1t Is the duty Of the voters Of the First
judicial District, without regard to
their party Affiliations, to see that
he is reelected. for their sake more
than for his sake. and for the sake of
an Independent judiciary more than
for the sake Of any individual or
any number of individuals.
