the Lodges the KnOxes the Brandegees the Borahs the
Johnsons the Shermans, the Hardngs the Pondexters
and other opponents of President Wilson and the treaty
that has been framed in Paris although he has described
them and anayzed their motives with startling accuracy
The quotations in question are from an article pub
ished by Alexander Hamilton July % 1895 The treaty
was the Jay Treaty the first foreign convention negota
ed by the United States government The president who
was made the victim of the partisan assaults to which
Hamilton referred was George Washington. In order
that there can be doubt the correctness of these
quotations they taken from the edition of Hamions

Compared with the present treaty the issues nvoled
In the Jay Treaty were not mOmentouS but in view of the
state OF the new Republic and its necessities it was of the
utmost Importance that the treaty should be ratified Yet
we see that the same kind of influences that were at work

politics remains politics regardless of the fate of peoples

THE AMERICAN WAR DEBT.

There are so many conflicting versions of the nations
war debt that is just well to get the matter straight
This debt is not $3O,00O,000000 which is according
to common impression. 1t is not anywhere that much
The government actually expended for war purposes from
April g. 1917 until June 80 1919 the close of the last
fiscal year. little than $3000O00000O 1t must be
remembered however, that $900O00000O or more con-
ssts of loans to the Allies nearly all Of which perfectly
good The $90O000000O therefore is not liability but
an asset That reduces actual war expenditures to
twenty-one billion dollars
Of the latter sum- about $4,000 100000 is taken care
of by current taxation AS result the actual war debt
estimated at the beginning of the present month"; is only
about $i2OOO00O
The war is not yet at least from the standpoint
OF expenditures. 1t will still cost many hundreds of mil
lions to bring the troops home and clear up all the odds
and ends of expense But against this continuing cost
may be set the large sums derived from the sale of ships
and military supplies The government may get enough
or nearly enough from these sources to pay all the bills
coming due from until the and navy departments
are re-estabished on peace basis
Making due allowance for the possibility of keeping
troops in Germany for longer time than anyone antici-
pated, thus postponing demobizaton and also making
liberal allowance for other unforeseen demands it hardly
seems likely that the debt at the close of the present
year will be than $5000000000 That is one of the
smallest debts borne today by any of the big powers 1t
absurdy small when measured by the resources of the
United States especially when consider the proportion
OF the other powers debts to their resources 1t is prob
ably per cent of national wealth We could pay it
off in three years. we chose without breaking our necks
financially s.s

Attorney General Brown has receiv-
ed information from Washington with
regard to certain tracts of land fraud
ulently acquired by the Hyde-Benson
operators years ago stating that the
secretary Of the interior mas sustained
an order Of the general land office re-
voking approval of exchange of one
tract in Claekamas county and anoth-
er in Douglas county. The Western
Lumber company, to whom these lands
had been transferred, appealed from
the order of revocation, but this appeal
has been overruled. This would seem to
open the way for the state to eventual
ly recover title to large areas of land
