MAKING THEMSELVES RIDICULOUS

One of the Republican news
papers gloats over the fact that
certain Republican Senators do
not indicate a willingness to ac-
cept the Presidents invitation to
visit the White House and discuss
with him the terms of the peace
treaty.
Among the absentees are GER
tain Senators who have been
loudest in damnation of the treaty
and condemnation of the Presi-
dent. no matter what he may or
may not do. And one of the
things they have damned him
loudest for was his alleged ten
dency to Ego it alone" to refuse
to take Senators into his conf,
dence.
The Adair County news., 1919-08-06

The high,cost of living is going
to be considerably cut. President
Wilson has a0sharp axe and the
training will start soon. the
first step to be taken is to dispose
of SIPS, 100000 worth of food
that hadssbeen purhased for our
armies. Every post master in
the United States will be notified
of the reduction, and all orders
for provisions, accompanied by
cash, will be sent to the pur-
chaser by parcel post. When the
government starts the reduction,
the wholesale houses will neces-
sarily have to follow suit.
The Adair County news., 1919-08-06

But now that the treaty is
ready and the Senate's innings
are at hand, these Senators who
have been most vociferous in
their denunciation are not dispos-
ed to take advantage of the op-
portunity they have been so loud
ly demanding, to go over the
treaty's provisions with the Presi-
dent.
1t is strange that critics of this
type are so blind that they cannot
see that they are making them
selves ridiculous; that they can
not understand that his position
will become impregnable because
of their refusal of the opportunity
to 90 over the terms of the treaty
and the articles of the League
covenant freely and frankly with
him. He was instrumental in the
drafting; he is more familiar
with the terms than they. Is it
not their duty under their oath of
office to gain all information they
may from him or any other
source, so they can more intel
ligently discharge their duty
when the time comes to vote on
ratification. We believe the
American people feel that it is.

Organization, Eighth District.
Somehow the very first mention of
Fifth Liberty Loan left the little
town OF JeffersonviIle cold.
Ard yet Jeffersonville had been
patriotic enough in the flaming days
when the men of America were set
ting their faces toward the East and
moving by train and truckIoad to the
Atlantic ports. Its boys had gone.
some by enlistment, some by the
shower process of the draft. Its women
had worked their fingers sore in the
Red Cross rooms over the Town Hall.
The war drives had gone through with
a whoop. The Liberty Bond quotas,
those of the First, the Second, the
Third and the Fourth had been over
subscribed at the last minute. Yes,
Jeffersonville had been average pa
triotic.
Maybe it was war weariness. May
be it was just indifference, feeling
that as soon as the boys came home
everything would fall back into the
old comfortable ways of the days be-
fore the Kaiserlings went mad back
in 1914, and that a restful, even q
slumberous peace would again des-
cend over the old-timey brick and
frame houses and the maple-lined
streets that wandered ON out into the
country and lost themselves in pleas
ant country highways through corn
fields, alfalfa meadows, clumps OF
woods and gently rolling hills.
But this time Jeffersonville was
sort of resentful. The boys were
conaing hack one and two at time.

CLOSE GAME IN THE
CITY LEAGUE SERIES
Owens Team Defeated the
Wholesalers By One
Run Margin.

In a fast and interesting game at
South Side park yesterday evening the
Owens nine defeated the Wholesalers
by a 80 score, thereby bringing the
Wholesalers down notch and helping
the Owens nine up the line.
The game was an interesting one
despite several errors in the first in
ming. The Wholesalers started of in
the first half of the first inning with
two runs, but they were generous and
in the last half OF the first chapter,
deliberately handed the two runs back
to the Owens tribe. From then until
the last of the sixth inning both teams
played shutout ball, featured by good
pitching on the part of both pitchers.
u was in the last of the sixth in
ming when Harold (the big first base
man for the Wholesalers) dropped an
easy assist, allowing ]. Bunner who
was on third base to score, thereby
winning the game. The Wholesalers
were unable to score in their half OF
the seventh inning and the game was
over The score:
