SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1919
In times of anarchy one may seem a despot in order to be a savior.
 -Mirabeau.
An Omen Way Out

There will probably be little delay now in the ratification of the peace That is it will not be matter of months feared. It will probably be accomplished in the early fall after all those senators who feel in need of that relief have blown off steam. If there should be delay it would be caused by combination of the great body of demo- cratic senators with the very few republicans who unateraby opposed to a League of Nations and would if they could. block any of the reservations that have been offered Then there is the Shantung feature of the peace treaty at which senators may balk.
 So far though as the covenant of the League of Nations is concerned, an agreement has apparently been reached on the reservations or armaments All the republican senators who friendly the covenant and had been counted upon to stand for it's ratification without reservations have agreed upon reservations which easily reconcilabe with those proposed by Mr. Root and those more recently put forward by Mir. Taft in his letter to Chairman Hays In fact these seven republicans go farther pretations agreed to by them are in the nature of amendments. to become a part of the treaty.
 Not than two of the irreconciables among the republicans would oppose these other tons At least two of the democratic senators would support them. That would give them the bare ma jorty required. We are inclined to think, though that very large number of the democratic senators
 
 pears be prepared to accept defeat as something inevitable and perhaps would not if he could, further his powerful influence over the minority to hold it in line
 So the campaign next year will not likely be com pcsted by the question of the League of Nations, The republican senators have maneuvered themselves into impregnable position They could not, if they had desired to do have opposed the purpose of the League, evidently acceptable to a large majority of the people They have therefore, come together a plan to remove the appearance of any pos , sble harm that might be suffered by the United States participation in the League, without in terfering with it's avowed purpose, and thus they z have taken Of which nearly all Americans must approve
 If the covenant should fail and if the fail would be because of democratic opposition to the amendments the republicans the issue raised could go before the people with cheerfulness and confidence next year.

A Wholly Different Matter

It may be necessary further to increase the wages of railway employees, matter which the president has referred to congress But that has, and have the problem which brought the brotherhoods to the president for relief. The chiefs who applied to the president themselves did not definitely ask for increase of wages. They wanted only ameoration the condition which their members found them selves despite the increases of wages that had already been allowed They preferred evidently that the gov ernment should get the root of the matter and remove the cause for the continued demand for still higher wages. Failing that the members must have increase of wages to meet the higher of living The number thus afforded temporary relief is almost negligible compared with those who would be lieved but whose condition would be made by this limited relief The program for further increase of wages involves outlay of $500 900 annually That must be paid by all the people at $8 year. so that that would be the average higher cost Of living in consequence of raising the wages of the railroad
 Altogether there have already been increases Of railway employees, wages in three years aggregatng s1 900 900 900 annually s10 piece for every con- sumer in the country. Thus the higher cost of living has been made measurably higher in this way. And the higher wages go the higher must be the cost of living.
 So, what the president proposes has nothing what ever to do with the question before the house. It is as far removed from solution of the problem as was adjustment of the Phoenix hodcarriers strike.

QUESTIONS AND
 ANSWERS

e. When should the service flag come down? K. G. s.
 A. The service flax was never of ficial so there are no rulings of the war department governing it. The idea is said to have been originated by a Captain Quiesser of Cleveland, and grew into national use. It is held, however, that the time for taking it down. is at the time of the termination of the service of the individual or in dividuals whom it represents. It should come down when the boys get home, or when they are mustered out if they do not come home. Then it should be carefully put away and treasured as an heirloom.
 c. What is the quotation of which sermons in stones" is a part? L. H. B.
 A. It is from Shakespeare's AS You Like It. and reads as follows: Sweet are the uses of diversity Which make the toad, ugly and ven

The Hat of MT. Roberts

Whether Hon. Charles NJ. Roberts of Cochse is going to be candidate for the democratic nomination for governor not settled in spite of the story which comes from Prescott of his announcement ot his candidacy. One of the recreations of MT Roberts is having fun with newspaper reporters and spondents Only few of us who know Mr. Roberts well know when he is in fun and when he is in earnest and sometimes in doubt.
 He has been regarded possible candidate for the governorshp several years and has erally been admitted that he would be strong didate His position in his party is a peculiar one On the admission of Arizona he closely identified with the Hunt wing of party.

WHAT AMERICAS GREATEST SOLDIER THINKS
 OF RELIGION
(By the Rev. Charles SteIzIe)

Sergeant Alvin c. York is the greatest hero. the fight in the Argonne Forest he killed p Ger mans captured 132 others and silenced 35 machine guns.
 For many years to he will be quoted to the rising generation of youngsters. The other day at the centenary celebration of American Methodism n Columbus Sergeant York made speech. It was very short speech. This is about what he said: {.
 T live and practice full salvation. have learned by experience that if we will be true follow CTS of Christ and be soldiers for him that be far better soldiers for our country.
 "A great many have been asking me what am most interested in Some may think am most interested in moving pictures vaudeville or some thing like that--wel I not.
 "The thing that I am most interested in is Christianity and what I do to help those who have drifted away from God and need help to hack to Him. I think that is of the greatest works that woman can get into-to help spread the gospel, and help lift up the fallen.
 Sergeant York has tried it out He knows. He's worth listening to- And his simple testimony is lot better than that given by the scoers against religion who have experienced any kind of religion.

War Risk Insurance Bureau Off
cials are enlisting the cooperation of
five hundred thousand volunteer
workers to present to service men
the benefits to be derived from
continuing their war-risk insurance.
The Government sells this insurance
to the service man at cost, which is
about one-third lower than it can be
purchased from the old-line comp
anies. The Government pays all the
expense of operation, giving the
service men the protection at cost
as one way of showing its appreci-
alton for their war service. Forty
billions of such insurance held by
four million men will have pro-
foundly beneficial effect on the social
and economic life of the nation.
