some people, some persons, do
not understand that vision. They
do not see it. They have looked
too much upon the ground. They
have thought too much of the in
terests that were near them and
they have not listened to the
voices of their neighbors.
l have never had a moments
doubt as to where the heart and
purpose of this people lay. When
anyone on the other side of the
water has raised the question
will America come in and help"
l have said "Of course, America
will come in and help" She can
not do anything else. She will
not disappoint any high hope that
has been formed of her. Least of
all will she in this day of new
born liberty all over the world,
fail to extend her hand of support
and assistance of those who have
been made free.
I wonder if at this distance you
can have any conception of the
tragic intensity of the feeling of
those peoples in Europe who have
just had Jokes thrown off them.
Have you reckoned up in your
mind how many peoples, how
many nations,s were held unwill-
ingly under the yoke of the
Austro- Hungarian empire, under
the yoke of Turkey, under the
yoke of Germany?
These yokes have been thrown
off, These peoples breathe the
air and look around to see a new
day dawn about them and when
ever they think of what is going
to fill that day with action, they
think first of US. They think first
of the friends who throughout the
long years have spoken for them,
who were privileged to declare
that they came into the war to re-
lease them, who said that they
would not make peace upon any
other terms than their liberty and
they have known that Americas
presence in the war and in the
conference was the guarantee of
the result.
The governor has spoken of a
great task ended. Yes, the formu-
lation of the peace is ended, but
it creates only a new task just
begun. I believe that if you will
study the peace, you will see that
it is a just peace and peace J
which, if it can b preserved, will
save the world from unnecessary
blcodshed.
And now the great task is to
preserve it. I have come back with
my heart full of enthusiasm for
throwing everything that can,
by way of influence or action, in
with you to see that the peace is
preserved, that when the long
reckoning comes, men may look
back upon this generation of
America and say, "They were
true to the vision which they saw
at their birth"

Judgment In Dwyer
Case Set Aside by
Court to Aid Appea.

District Judge Troup yesterday set
aside the judgment which he gave in
the suit of Francis Dwyer against
Clara Dwyer last Wednesday, refus-

he found no evidence to support Mr..
Dryers allegation that negro blood
flows in Mrs. Dryers veins.
This action, Judge Troup said, is
merely formal in order to get the
case before the supreme court of the
state. Mrs. Dwyer will now with
draw the cross-petition which she
filed while the hearing on Mr.. Dwy-
er's annulment suit was going on.
Then the judge will sign a decree
containing his judgment in the case
and the case will be appealed to the

A couple of hundred automobiles
carrying cabinet members, a con-

Several hours before the presi-

AS the president stepped from his

Clark, former speaker of the house,
and Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
all of whom were recognized and
cheered.

The presidents appearance on the

strains of Over There" There was
a sudden pause when an officer in

Waive the Redemption Notice!

Under the present law war thrift
and war savings stamps may be re-
deemed for current value at post Of
fees only on ten days notice. As a
consequence Of this requirement Of
notice some holders of these certifi-
Gates when in urgent need Of money
have been selling them to persons
who offer them cash at low rates and
make profit by later redemption at
the current official ratio. As a means
of combating this improper specula-
ton in these securities to the disad-
vantage Of their holders it is now pro-
posed to secure the amendment of the
law to waive the notice required at
post Offices so that stamp holders can
obtain their money in redemption i'm
mediately. There is no practical rea-
son for requiring the ten days notice.
The Post Office Department will never
be embarrassed by any rush of GER
tifcates for redemption. 1t can just
as readily meet the demand upon pres
entation as after notice is given. The
amendment Of the law is required in
the interest Of public protection
against the SHARK" practices of pro.
fessional stamp buyers who are TAX
ing heavy toll from the people.

alone account for the present shortage,
though there II ample evidence that
the @dislocations" Of which Claus
Spreekels spoke before the Senate
committee on agriculture the other
day have caused large part Of the
present distress. Evidences continue
to develop of the boarding Of great
quantities of sugar for the sake Of
higher prices.
The other day in New York one
Of the government Investigators heard
Of an offer of several million pounds
Of sugar for eighteen and q fraction
cents per pound. If this hoard could
be located its seizure and marketing
for immediate distribution would
greatly relieve the situation. Those
guilty Of storing sugar for extortion-
ate prices may be punished severely
under the new law signed by the
President, and the hope Of the coun-
try is that the governments investi-
cations will be vigorously pressed and
that the sugar stocks now being held
out of the market will be traced and
the hoarders given short shrift in
court for penitentiary terms common
surate with their offense.

others may be proposed as time passes.
The reports when made must be de-
bated. There may be a measure OF
politics in all Of them. But even If
politics cuts but small figure in any
of them, there will be other features
of interest, and these will afford ma
terial, for discussion.
What reconstruction problems will
be brought forward cannot now be
stated. But in the nature Of things
some measures of that kind will be
pressed, and when pressed will be
closely examined. As to all such
measures, getting off on the right foot
will be important. To degree we
shall be pathmakins, and all paths
should be we'll made and lead in the
proper directions.
The session, therefore, will open
with card Of formidable proportions;
and the card is certain to grow. The
national conventions are going to be
of far more than ordinary interest,
both as to platforms and nominations.
Great crowds will attend, and strenu-
Gus work be executed. But their i'm
portance and interest would not JUS
tify hasty work in Congress on the
part Of legislators anxious to lend
a hand in constructing party appeals
and promises to the voters and nomi-
mating candidates to emphasize them.

Sugar Consumption and Hoarding.

SuSsr consumption ana boarding.
Figures prepared by the Sugar
Equalization Board disclose that 1or
the first nine months Of this current
year the rate of sugar consumption
in the United States was 20 pounds
per capita, compared with 70 pounds
per capita in all Of 1918 and SO pounds
in 1917. At the rate thus established
the 1919 consumption will be 93.3
pounds per capita, or an increase of
more than 81 per cent over last year.
It is further estimated that the con-
sumption this year will be 100000
long tons, or one-half Of the worlds
total e1portable surplus and one
fourth of the worlds total sugar pro.
duetion Of the year.
II these figures are correct they
show that the people Of this country
are using more sugar than they have
for two years past, with no large in
crease in production. This might

The Regular Session.

In less than six weeks the first regu-
lar session of this Congress begins.
How long will it lasts The question
is already under some discussion.
As is we'll known, both parties are
DESTROYS of putting up the shutters
a week or so before national conven-
ton time. Some members are likely
to be delegates to the nominating
bodies. and in both House and Senate
are men mentioned for the presidency.
Hence the urge for speed in legisla-
tive work, in order that both dele
gates and candidates may be free for
convention work.
The conventions will probably be
held early in June. So that, if these
hopes are to be realized, Congress
must hump itself The time allow
ance for the program is six months.
The routine will of itself be a big
job. The supply bills will carry new
features and enormous sums, and

be well debated, since economy is
now the watchword.
But economy itself must be debated.
What sort of. economy! What is

skimping. There are never any votes
in putting the government on short
commons. And votes in November,
1920. are going to be valuable.

A Menace of Industrial Chaos.

All negotiations having failed, with
the miners representatives rejecting
a final proposition of negotiation and,
if necessary, arbitration, accepted by
the operators, and refusing to heed
the Presidents appeal, written from
his sick bed, strike of the soft
coal miners has been ordered for the
& of November-a week from today.
it il expected that about 100000 men
will lay down their tools at the close
of the working day next Friday. and
that the entire bituminous industry
will be suspended.
This is a national calamity, respon-
sibiIity for which must rest upon the
miners leaders, who have carried their
insistence upon qualified negotiations
to the point of absolute break. Ef-
forts to shift the blame to the opera
tors, who for time stood out for a
qualified submission on their own
terms, will not succeed in view of the
fact that at the close of the negotia-
tions the operators expressed their
willingness, rather than preeipitate a
strike, to submit the whole matter in
dispute to arbitration.
With the steel industry largely sus
pended through a strike that has
drawn nearly 100000 men from their
work, and with the railroad brother
hoods discussing the presenting of de-
mands for higher wages before the
roads are returned to their owners by
the government, the strike of the soft
coal miners will precipitate situa-
ton the like of which the country has
never before known. The steel strike
has thus far caused suffering only in
isolated cases, among the men them
selves and their families. The coal
strike, on the other hand, is certain
to cause widespread suffering, for the
ecuntry's coal supply is now low and
winter is at hand. A railroad strike
would extend the series Of disastrous
Industrial suspensions.
limitations are given that this is
the supreme effort Of organized labor
to compel recognition and to extort
terms Of advantage. It will. be great
" to the disadvantage Of the working
men of the country if they, join in
such campaign Of eompulsion. For
necessary work must be done, neces-
sarK supplies must be provided and
necessary transportation facilities
must be furnished. The government
will BID required to undertake the op-
erationt of the essential functions if
the foftes ordinarily responsible for
essential production and service re-
fuse to work.
A conflict between organized labor
and the gov eminent is to be deplored
as the last extreme Of danger. Pub
lie sentiment will not support such
q radical endeavor as that which ap-
pears now to be contemplated. The
people of the country, apart from d.
rect affiliations, which include only q
small minority, will sustain the Of.
forts of the government to maintain
order and to furnish the requisite
services and supplies upon which the
nation depends for its sustenanee.

The Railroads.

The railroad problem will be pre-
scented to the Senate as soon as the
peace treaty is out of the way. Chair
man Cummins of the Senate inter
| state commerce committee made the
announcement yesterday.
How long the problem will be de-
bated is question. Everybody con-
cedes its importance. In fact, it is
the most important of our reconstruc-
ton problems. Using a homely ex-
preston, railroad transportation
strikes the country where it lives. 1t
must function in an efficient manner,
or the country suffers. Under gov
eminent control and operation it has
not been so functioning, and the
country has suffered.
The measure the Senate will con.
slider was introduced by Chairman
Cummins, and, with some changes, has
been favorably passed upon by the
interstate commerce committee by a
vote of IA to Ia vote which should
give it strength in the Senate debate.
The leading points Of interest to
the general public are that the meas
ure provides for the return Of the
properties to the owners, and forbids
strikes to employees. In both of these
points the public is very much inter
ested.
Sentiment against government own
ership and operation of railroads is
strong. 1t would have been strong
even If the war had not occurred and
saddled the country with a mountain
Of debt. But to add to this war noun
tain another mountain Of debt-twen-
ty billions of dollars would be neces-
sary to buy the railroad properties
would break the country's back.
The anti-strike provision is Of spe-
eial moment just now. A sort of
strike fever is in the air, and has ap-
peared in many quarters and Affected
many lines Of industry. The trouble.
it is feared, is likely to spread
further. As one may easily see, a
railroad strike Of large proportions
would inhict incalculable damage. All
sections Of the country and all classes
and conditions would be injured. The
Cummins measure essays to prevent
this, and fourteen members Of the
Senate committee against one indorse
the anti-strike provision.
A measure Of such consequence is
certain to produce a good deal of dis
eussion; and if Mr.. Cummins upon
calling it up insists upon going on
with it, all talk about closing the SEES
sion Of Congress a. soon as the final
vote on the peace treaty is taken will
cease. A fortnight at least will be
required for the debate; and that will
lead we'll up to December, when the
regular session begins. And it may
be that this debate will equal if it
does not exceed in public interest the
debate on the peace treaty. The sub.
ject strikes home to the everyday in
telligence more intimately than does
the treaty, and this will be an invi-
tation to many senators to speak.
