HuMoR, IN CONGRESS?

Columbus Record: John kendrick
Banks. humorist, is candidate for
Congress from the Portland, Me-,
district and the fact that he is pro-

will be elected.
Politically, We cannot tell from this
distance what his chances are, but
if the the people of the Portland dis
trict have any desire to win the graf
itude of the nation they will send him
to Congress. Even if the district is
nominally Republican, their sense of
humor ought, it seems. to prevail
over their political persuasions.

OUR SENTIMENT, TOO


THE leading business people of
Thomasville have expressed in a tele-
gram to Senator Hoke Smith just the
attitude of the people of this com
munity, generally speaking. They
want the peace treaty signed as
quickly as possible and they want it
signed without amendment or reser-
walton. That's what our people want,
so nearly all of them that the diff
ference between what we really are
and you would call all of them is nil.
The people of Thomasville put it
in exactly the way we want it put. We
are not campaigning against Senator
Smith for helping to kill time over it.
We want the treaty adopted as soon
as possible We want to get
out Of the turmoil and come down to
a settlement of industrial problems.
A greater danger is looming on the
horizon in this country. People do
not realize what little steady work
is being done in this country Produc-
ton has dwindled till a crisis will
develop here and there soon in every
great industry
It is not amiss sometimes to admit
the real truth when that may help us
owe forward and relieve things. One
of our leading American bankers, al
Mr.. Stevens, who has just made a
complete tour of Germany and made
close study of business conditions
there, says there is no production. In
dustry is practically at stand still
ilSlpcil IlooNeT mas just ieIuIHeu
fom wide tavel and study of condi
tons Europe. Here is his mind on
the subject:
out of the war and misery of
the war has arisen silhouette
of class distinction and class
hatred that is not to be obliterat-
ed with few words" Mr. Hoov-
er said. "The development of RAJ
dicalism in Europe during the
last twelve months in beyond
anything in history. America is
a fettile field and responds
quickly to any wind that may
blow. The European wind of ra-
dicalism is sweeping our way and
it is effecting u.s."
1t is our duty to call strongly on
our senator to lend their influence to
the ratification of the treaty, thus to
relieve the situation as much as pos
sible with all our industries Large
business interests know nothing of
how to move till this thing is out
Of the way. Business uncertainty
helps radicalism world without end.
1t of ers more encouragement than
any other one single influence.
The wheels of industry will not
turn till people have done with the
issues of the war. Nobody need ex-
pect t. Our country is waiting patient
ly 70" the treaty ratification. We
want speedy disposition of the peace
treaty SO that we may know more
about what to look for in the future.

Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter Of
the President; b. n. Baruch and Gen.
W. W. Harris were members Of the
Presidents party.
The arrival of the presidential train
was the signal for the military guard

THE KNOX RESOLUTION
BILL TO SEPARArE LEAGUE
FROM TREATY CAUSES SCRAP.
CHARGE MADE THAT PoLITIcs
HAS STRONG BEARING
ON ACTION.

Warrington, June 2O.-Debate Of
the League of Nations shifted to polit-
ical grounds again in the Senate with
resulting furry Of party feeling
which ended in an admonition by the
chair that Senate rules must be
obeysd.
The flareup started when Senator
Williams Of Mississippi, a Democratic
member Of the foreign relations com
mittee, charged the Republicans had
stacked" the committee against the
League. Senator Moses of New Hamp.
shire, Republican member, made a
spirited denial and Senator McCor.
mick, Republican. Of Illinois, declared
the Paris peace mission had been
stacked with Democrats"
Other senator's quickly got into the
discussion and still others were ask.
ing recognition when Vice President
Marshall called halt, ruling that the
discussion. which had interrupted q
speech by Senator Thomas, Democrat
Of Colorado, was out Of order. The
Colorado senator then resumed his
address, directed against the Knox
resolution, by which the Senate would
ask an opportunity to accept the peace
treaty without the League of Nations
covenant Incorporated.
Senator Williams charge followed
one by Senator Thomas that the Re.
publicans first had put the League into
politics by the celebrated round robin
Of the last session, and now were con
demning Democratic support Of the
League as partisan.
Mr.. Thomas Is one Of the Demo
cratic senator's who have taken no
definite stand regarding the League,
but IN bis speech he read many ex-
tracts from historical works to show
that In the past beneficial proposals
often had met the same arguments q
now confront the League covenant.
The Knox resolution he opposed a
improper and would be interpreted al
a presumptive effort to dictate to the
peace conference. Answering the plea
that the people should have more time
to consider the League proposal. he
asserted there already had been wide
discussion Of the subject for several
years.
III there 10 . man between the two
oceans who hasn't discussed II and
reached some conclusion regarding 1t"
he said. "the fact argues for his igno-
rance and for the impossihliity Of his
ever reaching any conclusion"
There was no effort to bring the
Knox resolution up for q vote and
there were predictions In some quar-
ters that 1t would be permitted to die
on the calendar.
