JUST LISTEN TO T-lS

The New York Herald has disC0y-
cred another insuperabIe objection to
the ratification of the league of ma.
tons.
It says that when President Wilson
was professor of Jurisprudence and
political economy at Princeton ne
was commissioned by an emihen
firm of publishers to write short
study of the period of our history COW
ering the time between 1929 and
1899.
He gave the volume the title Of
Division and Reunion.r The pub
fishers demurred, contending that the
title was an inaccurate one that no
body in the North would admit that
the United States had been divided,
that Lincoln had sturdiIy and con
sistentlyrr resented such al. theory and
his success had consisted not in put
ting the Confederate SEates-Confed-
crate States, mind you, not seeding
states-back in the Union but in keep.

But, says the Herald, that made no
impression on the PRINCETON protes

Headstrong and ign0rantIy educat

Is any other argument necessary
why the league of nations should NOT
be ratified by republican senate?

JUST A CONTINUANCE

There has been d persistent and
concerted effort on the part of
certain element to bging reproach on
the democratic administration and to
belittle the presideuf.
Pick up a back apmber of. many
of the magazines aad one will find
critics of the adminfstration as busy
and as unrelentiug mouths ago as
they are today.
Now accusing Prekident Wilson as
being a socialist we were told only
few months ago by French So
cialist newspaper that the peace
covenant which was accredited as
hvaing been dictated by President
Wilson was "a peace of oppression
and injustice prepared by capitalists
and imperialists.r
Now Capitalists and imperialism
are the antipodes Of socialism.
Then we are told that the Woman's
International Conference on Perman-
ent Peace denOuncel the covenant as
"condenming 1O0.0aOOO0 people in
the very heart of Europe to poverty,
disease and death"
Declared the Fargo North Dako-
tar Courier-News
President Wilson instead of the
greatest man in all history will re-
turn to America broken and discred-
tied
America has won the war. but
has lost the peace. declared The Dial
radical weekly now published in
New York. which thinks that with
Jar greater reason than Ciomanceau.
President Wilson may lament q Pyrr-
bic victory"
Said the New York New Republic:
He went to Europe the idel of all
OF its common people He returns
literally without friends, for even
the imperialists 10 whom he has sur
rendered his ideals have no confidence
in aim. while the people will look
npon him as one who, with the power

hands of their old enemies. the coin

ers of profit and the makers of war
Then it was declared that the peace
treaty would never be signed because
it was a masterpiece of tumble and in
competence OF impossible and imprac-
ticale things.
Then items like this were printed
conspicuously in the leading newspa-
pers and magazines:
The president himself, according
to United Press dispatch, is not
satisfied with the treaty, but. his
friends say. 'he believes it the best
it is possible to obtain, considering
all the conditions"
So these lamentations and fulmina-
tons continue and if Wilson can be
defeated and utterly discredited a
large part Of the press of the United
States are willing to sacrifice all we
won and all we endured in the great
world war.

Forty building permits have been

for construction and remodeling

complete, according to the estimates
which were furnished.
Last year in June only 81 permits
were issued for work costing S2S,S00,
due largely to war conditions, which
existed at that time, making the
price of labor and materials so un-
certain.
The record for the present month,
according to builders, is an indica-
tion of the increasing activity in the
construction of new properties and
remodeling and improving old ones.
The largest permit for the month
was issued to c. l.. Long, who has
