End of Treaty Fight
Is Reached in Senate

| AZ FTER a long and bitter fight,
Is q the final vote on the treaty of
peace is at hand. AS predicted some
time ago, opposing factions will
agree to compromise. This is the
way the Senate always ends its bat
ties. The result was foreseen early
in the debate by those familiar with
Senate procedure.
Certain weaknesses in the treaty of
peace have unquestionabIy been
brought out by the Senate's discus
sions. Even it's strongest supporters
acknowledge that some notifications
were necessary. This seems to have
been the purpose of both republicans
and democrats who were not blinded
by partisanship.
The Senate has given sorry exhi-
bition of itself which has done as no
good abroad By its prolonged
wrangling it has postponed the return
to normal conditions in the Unitel
States. Had any good purpose been
served, the fight made by Lodge,
Borah and others of their type might
have been excusable, but politics
more than the necessities of the situa-
ton seems to have been at the bot
tom of much of the criticism to which
Mr.. Wilson and the treaty have been
subjected

Important Conference
of Democratic Leaders

1.-THE visit of Homer S. Cummings,
. chairman of the democratic ma
tional committee, to Birmingham will
be important because of its bearing
an the presidential campaign of next
year.
Prominent democrats of Alabama
have been invited to meet Mr.. Cum
mings when he arrives Thursday.
Every democrat who has received an
invitation to this conference should
put aside other business and attend.
Chairman Cummings, who is max
ing a tour of western and southwest
ern states for the purpose of confer
ring with democratic leaders, is ac-
lively engaged in formulating plans
for the Forthcoming battle against
the republican party and his visit to
Alabama at this time is of more than
passing interest.
ay The date of the next democratic
national convention is one of the
questions that will come before the
committee when it meets in Wash
ington in January. By getting in
touch with southern democrats Mr..
Cummings is acquiring information
that will doubtless be useful to him
in the campaign next year.
AS a stronghold of democracy the
south is expected to do it's part in
electing democratic President \ in
1920.

THE FUTURE

Says the Committee on Stats

Der of Commerce Of the United
States: There are all sorts of
forecasts as to the nature and
volume of business during the
next six months. They vary
from a dull winter and a good
spring and summer to no busi-
ness at all until a good harvest

ness until the reconstruction
process is completed. But this
seems to be the most popular
prophecy, namely, a period of
intermediate length working it.

forethought to a far better era
and greater prosperity than ever
has been our portion in the past. "
Says Franklin K. Lane, Secre-
tary of the Interior: "The eco
nomic and industrial outlook of
the United States seems to me
to be bright. | can give no
reason for this other than a most
superficial one. Europe has been
pretty we'll smashed up. Res
toration is it's job. America has
the raw materials. This should
make things lively at mines and

of history is that a victorious
nation always has a period of
good times after war; England
in EIizabeth's time and after Ma
poleon; Germany after the war
of 1870 are instances.
