TELLS OHIO AUDIENCE HE OWES REPORT ONLY
 TO PEOPLE OF NATION
Expresses AstOnishment at Treaty Misrepre- sentatiOn-Says He is Convinced Many of Critics Fail to COmpre- bend the Pact.

Columbus, O., Sept. 4-Pres- ident Wilson, opening his countrywide speaking tour for the peace treaty, declared in an address here today. that his purpose was ito go out and report to my fellow country men,"
 The only people I owe any report" said the President, "are you and the other citizens of the United States.
 The President said it also seemed increasingly necessary" that he should make such a report because he had read many speeches about the treaty and was unable to gather from them much of what the treaty contained that is bright and glori- ous If we but rise to the heights Of practical advantage"
 He said that he had "chafed a the confinement of Washington" and was glad to get out to make his report to the people. In the first placa the President said, the treaty under took to punish Germany but there was no thought of overwhelmingly crushing any great people.
 Restraint had been exercised, he said, and there was provision for making the reparation no greater than Germany could pay. He had been "astonished" at statements made about the treaty and was convinced

LEGAL TROUBLES DISRUPT FAMILY

She claims she had a chance to sell the property at a profit but lost 1t when the attachment was placed on the plot. Then Herman Unsderfer started legal proceedings against August for s1,o0O damages for money loaned. All three actions are returna- ble to the September term of court

NEW ASSOCIATION
 ON JOB; PROTECTS
 GROWERS INTEREST

"The Arizona Egyptian Cotton Growers association is very much on the job of protecting the in terests of the growers, even in these preliminary stages of the organiZa tion," said Garnett Holmes, vice presi- dent of the organization, last night.
 Through the information sources al ready established by the association said MT. Holmes, we were yesterday informed that shipment of cotton seed and seed cotton had arrived from Columbus, Ga, district infected with boil weevil.
 'The shipment into this state of seed from an infected district is pro- hibited by law, as there is grave dan ger of this pest being introduced through such shipment
 ''The state entomologist. Dr. Mote. was at once notified, and with a gov ernment inspector immediately took charge of the shipment and put it un- der lock and key The consignee win be served with legal notice to ship this stuff out of the valley at once or it will be destroyed. We cannot run any chance of having the long staple cot ton industry ruined by any such stunts and the association is on the job to see that it does not happen, and to cooperate with the authorities to that end"
 All Growers Join
 l Another organization meeting of the association was held last night at the Madison school, and every cotton grower present joined the association and several present who intend to grow cotton next year expressed their intention of joining for next season.
 A meeting will be held in the Casa ] Grand district tonight. and further meetings for the Salt River valley vii be announced in a few days. In tn, meantime 8 field organizer is worl<in: I among the growers, who are signing up practically as fast as they can bt
 reached, and express the greatest en
 thusiasm for the organization idea.

BANDITS MAKE GOOD HAUL

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Oct. 31.-Six heavily armed unmasked bandits rode into Boeoachit, Sonora, 50 miles south west of Douglas, Tuesday morning and robbed the mayor of s1,O00 in gold. s200 of which belonged to the munici- pality and the remainder to the state school fund, being the nucleus for building a new school house. After the robbery. which was carried through without resistance upon the part of the townspeople, the bandits rode a short distance outside the town and divided the money. During the division they quarrelled among themselves, and in a gun fight one of their number was killed. The townspeople brought the body into Bocoachi and held it two days, but found no one able to iden- tify the man.

The third meeting of Governor
Davis cabinet was held last week.
Again it was found that all the
machinery was well organized nd
working smoothly, saving thous-
ands of dollars to the state in the
way Of taxation, to say nothing
about how much was being saved
in salaries, etc. Report comes al
most weekly from some source or
another telling us Of how thou
sands Of dollars are being saved to
the state each month through this
new piece Of machinery. From all
these statements it. would seem
that our taxes this year and the
following years will be greatly re-
duced. In fact we may be nearer
that taxless state" that Govern
or Davis promised us in his cam
paign three years ago than we
realize and those Missourians may
yet be convinced that it can be
done.

MCADOO AND THE TERMS.

The acceptance of the peace
terms by Germany did not write
finis = to the story of European
unrest, but it has brought one Of
the ugliest chapters to an end. 1t
is, therefore. but natural to adopt
that part of it.
In the heat Of the dispute there
has been the inevitable buncombe
on both sides. That the German
army was equipped and organic
ed during a period of ten years
before the war for the purpose Of
subjugating the world is perhaps
an exaggeration. Germany main
tanned an enormous army pricipal-
ly because she lay between two
hostile powers-France and Rus
STA. There were other reasons, but
this was plainly a compelling one.
Equally absurd. however, Is
Germany's contention that the
war was forced upon her. 1t is
waste of time now to recapitulate
the incidents which Immediately
preceded the four years struggle.
Germany provoked the war. She
declined to refer disputed points
to arbitration when entreated by
the powers to do so.
She must bear her full RESPONSE
bility for her act, in the hope that
the severity of her punishment
will prevent any recurrence OF
such acts in the future, either on
her part or on the part of amy
other nation.
One of the most clear headed
and Illuminating comments OF the
subject was lately made by Will
lam G. McAdoo in an address at
the Methodist centennial expo
sition. in which he said:
Germany may regard the
terms as harsh, but of one thing
the world is certain: that unless
the consequences Of a branch of
world peace by any nation are
made so serious and so formidable
that they will exhaust every COLI
ceivable means for settlement Of
disputes before resorting to war,
the peace of the world can not be
secured in the future
And it is even doubtful if any
thing will prevent future wars.
When the veneer Of civilization is
scratched the beast will invariably
roar.

WHAT CAN THEY OFFER {?

Some interesting statements, as
well as inexplicable positions, are
sometimes made and taken even
by u. S. Senators. For an illus
tration, a few of them, at the be-
ginning of the recent great war
and before the Emitted States en-
tered it, intimated in the strong
est terms that it was a rich man s
war and was brought about princi-
pally b ythe rich and that if we
entered the conflict it would be
thru the influence Of the wealthy
that they might be able to make
enormous profits. We went into
The war, spent billions of dollars,

young men. millions suffered I'M
told hardships and thousands

which had for its object the pre-
vention of future wars. Back of
this were many Of our ablest and
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1919-07-24

best men whose sincerely can
scarcely be questioned by any I'M
biased and unprecedented mind,
whose only object could be for the
welfare Of future mankind, and
who are giving their time and
money for the encouragement OF
this movement.
But times have changed since
we entered the war, and likewise
the minds of few of these sena-
tors who are now bitterly oppos-
ing this movement which has for
its object the prevention of future
conflicts. They now state that
this move is being financed by
wall street and the big bankers
and by men who have nothing but
some Interior motive in view Of
course these senators may be
right. Men as big as they are
could not take this position on ac-
count of prejudice. or for. politi-
cal reasons. They could not take
their present position and reverse
their former one to enhance their
own political standing. They are
too big men to take this stand be-
cause of their past political diff
ferences with those who are pro
noting the League.
But there is Just one little item
in all this that is not quite clear
to all the people which these Unit
ed States senator's can perhaps
clear up in a very few words. 1t
is this. What have they to offer
as a substitute to the League of
Nations that even proposes to help
prevent future wars?

RELATIVE VALUES.

On certain day short while
ago it became highly probable
that a dirigible balloon travelling
to this country would complete its
trip successfully, which it later
did. This may mean the establish
ment of a practical method of in
accommodation between the old
world and the new at speed hith-
erto unattained.
Alcock, as we know, achieved
a much higher record of speed in
his nonstop flight. but it was
made by airplane. And this meth
cd of locomotion across the At
lantic will not for long time pro-
duce very practical results.
But with the balloon it is other
wise. There are many ways in
which this method of communica-
ton would be of practical value,
and these are the things which
make for international under
standings, and for peace.

A few years ago while Alex!

A few years ago while Alexan-
der was governor. we were led to
believe that the cause of forest
fires in Idaho was on account OF
his vetoing the appropriation for
this department that was passed
by the legislature and we believed
it. Now Governor Davis tells us
that it is not the state at all that
is to blame for this dry weather
and the big fires but that it is
President Wilson and the demo-
cratic administration back in
Washington and that the republi-
can administration of Idaho is and
has been at all times opposed to
the dry wether and the forest fires
both. SO who are we to believe
now?

WANTED-A CREED.

It is difficult, at times, to know
whether to speak kindly or UNI
kindly of socialism. 1t is, in fact,
difficult to talk about socialism at
all.
The reason is. that there is lit
tie uncertainty as to what social
ism is, at least in the average
mind. There are many doctrines
which we once called socialistic
and which are now part of a con
sentative policy. One might al
most say reactionary. or imperi-
alistic.
The term socialism, as gener-
ally understood, embraces almost
anything, from the best to the
worst. In the socialist party there
is as much divergence of opinion
as in the republican or democratic
parties, probably good deal more.
1t is difficult to determine upon
labels for any Of our parties, and
to classify each group under one
of them.
For example. there are social
lists who say that all men are born
equal. This is lunacy We are
not. Some men are born transcen-
dent geniuses. Some are born i'm
beetles. 1t is not the fault of the
imbeciles, but the two classes are
not equal. That is unless the word
"eaual" means something it has
never yet meant.
One man has the manual dexter
ity to make first class paper
hanger. Unless a man can hang a
certain number of rolls a day he
can not qualify for the union. 1t
isn't as easy as it seems. Some
men try for a long time to learn
it. and never succeed They can
only qualify at pushing a wheel
barrow. 1t is unfortunate, bun
we are not all born equal.
Many socialists admit this, but
declare that we should all be-giv-
en- aqual opportunities of learn
ing. This is good sense. And if
this is socialism we take off our
hat to that part Of it.
We have not yet attained to
this contamination but we ought
to try by legislation Many a
mans best faculties remain unde-
veloped because he has to earn
living at a very early age. He has
no time to train these dormant
faculties, and is therefore at dis
advantage in competing with the
rich mans son.
1t is unquestionably an advan-
tage to have a rich father, and
there is no sense in taking that adj
vantage away. That is bolshevism.
Give everybody the same advan-
tage in education; it is simply
matter of taxation. There is many
brilliant intellect which, under
present conditions, never works at
full pressure for the benefit of
mankind.
The truth of the matter is that
we are still lacking a sane and
sensible creed. If the best in all
parties could be grouped into one
new creed we might come some
where near to the point of Utopia.
But it will never be done in the
life of the present generation.
