 Everybody's Business
 To Enjoy Democracy
WILL END OLD REGIME
Declares that the Balance of Power Will End When the League of Nations
 Functions

BISMARCK, Sept. 10.-President Wilson told an overflow audience here that the issue of his present speaking tour was the question of war or peace. He declared that peace could be maintained only by a concert of nations, such as is proposed in the Covenant of the League of Nations. He said if the movement for the worlds concert failed, the heart of mankind would be overwhelmed with despair.
 The logical result of such a fail ure. he continued, would be chaos. Men ill despair" he said, "do not construct governments; they destroy. If we stay out or qualify our ac- ceptance of the League, the world will say there can be no peace"

Foreign Relations Commit | tee Makes a Majority Report With 45 Amend
 mentS in Treaty
MINORITY REPORT SOON
Expected That the Demo- cratic Members With Senator MCCumber
 To Report Friday

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-With AS amendments and four reservations, the Senate Foreign Relations Commit tee has formally reported the treaty to the Senate, which, if accepted, means that it would have to be re. turned to the Peace Confrence at Versailles again for reconsideration. It is understood that the minority report, which will be signed by the Democratic members and Senator Porter J. Mccumber, will be filed this week, possibly Friday. All of the Republican committeeman signed the majority report except Mccumber.
 The report of the majority Repub- Iicans characterizes the treaty as an alliance and not league, which will breed wars, instead of assuring peace. the report says, are governed by one purpose-to guard American rights and sovereignty the invalidation of which would stimulate breaches of faith and encourage conflicts and gen crate wars. The reservations pro- pose:
 First The unconditional right for he United States to withdraw from he League.
 Second. The declination to as- sume any obligations under article 10. except by action of Congress.
 Third. Rescrving to the United States the right to decide what ques- lions are within it's own domestic jur- isdiction.
 Fourth. Absolute reservation of he Monroe doctrine. to be left to the judgment of America alone,
 The principal amendments in the report provide equal voting power for America with England, and a de lung to China; also an amendment relieving America from having repre- sentatives on the commissions "in matters in which America has no 9oncern." such as boundary ques7 lions and reparations.
 The report says other nations will take us on our own terms for with out us their league is a. wreck. aLd all they gained from the war is i'm perilled."
 The report says the adoption of the amendmends does not necessitate the re-assembling of the Peace Confer ence, which probably will be in ses- sion six months yet in Paris, and that it might as well be usefully em- ployed as the members are now en- gagged in dividing southeastern Europe and Asia Minor"
 The report says "fhe artificial de- hands for haste in considering the 'reaty come from certain great bank Ing firms which had direct pecuniary interests in securing an early op- portunity to reap a harvest in the re- adjustment of financial obligations of the warning countries" It con tinues: The demands for haste also come from many who never read the treaty. who never got beyond the words League of Nations, which they thought meant the establishment oi eternal peace"

structure in any kind of repair.
Large quantities of dirt and gravel
have been placed on the bridge to
temporarily cope with the situation,
but this has not proven very salts
factory. The emergency now exists
which requires either extensive as
we'll as expensive repairs or a new and
wider bridge. With the growth and
development of the territory to the
south comes considerable more traffic
over the bridge, and under the pres
ent condition of the narrow bridge
two vehicles cannot safely pass each
other except at the openings, thus
causing a great inconvenience and
congested traffic.
What plans the commissioners have
in the matter Of remedying the bridge
condition which is of vital Importance
to large number of the citizens of
the county. we cannot say, but we be-
lieve that the bridge should be widen
ed as well as shortened by putting
in fills, making a permanent and sat
isfactory structure. This is sub
jecr that warrants full discussion as
well as immediate attention, coinci-
dent with the progress of this fertile
section.

POPULAR COUPLE WEDS
Fred b. Wilson Espouses Miss Esther
Miller. Deputy Postmistress
of Gering

A quiet and unostentatious mar
riage occurred in Gering yesterday
morning at eleven O'Clock, when Fred
B, Wilson and Miss Esther Miller be-
came man and wife through the offici-
ate Of F. A. Woten. The event took
place at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. NJ. Parker, with very few guests
present. The charming young bride
is perhaps the best known girl in the
city, having been deputy postmistress
for several years. She is mighty
nice girl. and her circle of friends,
who number so many. are all admirers.
Mr.. Wilson has been for number of
years employed in this city and Scots
bluff. recently at the light plant, but
now deputy county treasurer at Jules
burg, Colo. where his people reside.
He is regarded as clean and capable
young wan and is regarded as deser-
wing Of his good fortune. The happy
couple left yesterday noon for Colo
RADIO points, and it is understood that
they may make their home at Jules
burg. but this is not definitely stated.
We wish them every possible joy in
life.-Gering (Nebr) Courier.

In this weeks Southwest Table news
items our correspondent refers to the
bad condition of the river bridge south
of Julesburg, thus causing a great
inconvenience to the residents of the
south table section who come to Jules
burg to do their trading.
While our correspondent perhaps
criticises a little harshly, we know
that there is a general sentiment pre-
yailing amongst the citizens on the
south table that something should be
done in the immediate future in the
matter Of putting the bridge in
shane, and we can't blame them for
feeling somewhat "peevish" over the
matter.
However, there are two sides OF the
question. We will admit that it is
absolutely necessary that the county
commissioners take steps in the i'm
mediate future to remedy the stu
alton, but the question is whether
repairing the bridge is the most prac-
tical solution. During the past sever
al weeks there has been an unusual
amount of heavy hauling and traffic
over the bridge, which has been re-
sponsible to great measure for the
difficulty encountered m keeping the

2OSSING WATCHMAN TO BE
MAINTAINED BY COMPANY

L. j. Williams, chairman; A. p.
Anderson. Grant E. Halderman, Engi-
neer Vaile, members of the Public
Utilities Commission from Denver. and
Supt. r. W. Woodruff of the Cheyenne
Division of the Union Pacific Rail-
road, were Julesburg visitors Wednes-
day evening and this Thursday
morning.
There mission here was in regard to
the railroad crossing situation, which
matter has been referred to the COM
mission by the city authorities in an
effort to relieve the congested traf-
fic condition which now exists on ac-
count of there being only one crossing
for the travelling public going to and
from the south.
In a conference with the authorities
here the commission submitted plan
that will be tried out for thirty days
to ascertain whether or not the condi-
ton can be remedied without the es-
tablishment of at least one or more
crossings The plan is for the rail-
road company to maintain watch
man at the present crossing whose
business it will be to see that trains
do not block the crossing any length
of time. and crews violating this rule
will be reprimanded II is also plan
ned to move the water tank west OF
the depot to point where it will not
be necessary for trains to block the
crossing while taking water.
OF course we are willing to wait and
observe the results during the thirty
days trial of the new plan of using
crossing watchman. and hope the
traffic condition will be remedied. but
we believe that the only satisfactory
way will be the establishment of a
new crossing. The public is invited
to watch the results. as we are in
formed that the commission will take
MP the matter again within thirty
days.
