LEAGUE OF NATIONS no BE
- AMENDED BY SENATE.

Most everybody is in favor Of the
peace treaty. A few senator's at
Washington. however, have the cour-
age to demand that the league or
nations appendage to the treaty be
.@mended to protect the sovereignty
and best interests of the United
Stateg. All honor to these men who
have dared to make a stand for the
right. President Wilson wants the
league of nations covenant TO go
through without amendment, and
says anyone who asks for an amend
ment to the league of nations cove>
nant Is against the ratification OF the
peace treaty. The Times cannot see
fit that way. If the league of nations
terms are not fair for the United
States, 1t will not delay the treaty
OF peace with germany to fix the COW
enant as 1t should be.
There may be politics in it--but
one thing is sure. President Wilson
does not wish to share with the re-
publican senate any of the honors
growing out of the conclusion of the
war.

VERY ENJOYABLE RECEP-
TION TO TEACHERS.

The Parent-Teachers Association
gave a splendid reception to the new
teachers of Meridian at the High

w. N. Yost presided at the informal
program and several of the local tai

An address was made by the Sup
erintendent, III. e. Powers, and the
people were impressed with his zeai
and ambition to make this the best
year in tn history of the Meridian
schools. He said the loyal cooper
alton of the patrons was solicited to
the end that the most important in
sitution In our midst should be
worthy of the time and expense of
the people to keep 1t up. He said
the teachers were overwhelmed with
larger number of scholars than an
ticipated, and this with the non-ar-
rival of needed school books has him
dered the first weeks school, dur
this will all be adjusted satisfactor-
lily in few days.
The guests, numbering hundred
or more, we're treated to refresh
ments, and after pleasant social ey-
ening departed with the thought that
the Parent-Teachers had furnished a
pleasant evening, and gave them the
opportunity to meet the teachers
who will look after our bcys and
girls during this school year
