The Game of the Treaty's Foes.

ONO suspected, 1t 10 now quite mani
fest that Senator Lodge and his fol-
A~ lowers on the peace treaty issue are
r1aving a. nolittcal game. The vast impor-
lance of the interests and the principles In
volyed they have forgotten or ignored In
their eagerness to score partisan point
The country's need of assurance upon wnlcn
normal business can be resumed, the worIu
need Of guarantees against the recurrence o.
devastating war, hdmanitys need OF falr
chance in which to develop It's finer traits
and achieve it's higher destiny-to all these
the Treaty's foes are Indifferent. But they
are intensely concerned in worsting the
President and proving themselves snrewo
tacticians.
From the outset they have quiobled ana
+enonorized Summoned to the Work Oh an
extraordinary session Of Congress some SIX
months ago, they have nothing TO snow III
wav Of service and value; nothing, indeed
hut obstruction and delay to the most lmpor-
taut pact which the United States was ever
called upon to rat4fy. What mas eeen the
purpose Of this deliberate waste OF time' TINS
trifing with matters of the highest moment?
Wbv did they not bring the issues to vote
and a decision weeks or months ago as the
friends of the Treaty wished? Simply be-
cause they dared not take the respons b1l1ty
of outright rejection of the peace covenant
but were bent upon bringing ABOUT SlLuaL1oH
in which the Treaty's supporters themselves
would be put in the false attitude OF re-
jecttng 1t.
This Is apparent when one studies the
fabian course which the Lodge faction has
pursued and the turns Of their strategy.
First, they fought for amendments the adop-
ton of which would have meant the Treaty s
death, as far as this nation was concerned.
Defeated at that move, they are now fighting
for go-called reservations, the intent Of which
Is equally destructive. Suppose they muster
majority sufficient to pass these reserva-
lions. Suppose further that the adherents Of
the Treaty, the sincere believers in its princi-
pls and provisions, rather than consent to
It's betrayal, vote against ratifying resolu-
ton which embodies those ruinous reserva-
lions. The Lodges and Reeds then would
cry, "You have rejected the Treaty, you have
rejected peace; the responsibility be upon
your heads!" This evidently is their game
They are encouraged to play 1t by the fact
that while simple majority of the Senate
can adopt reservations, a two-thirds majority
is required for final ratification. Thus thew
hope to kill the Treaty and at the same
time SHIFT the blame to the Treaty's friends
But they will not succeed Even II their
tactics result in the peace pact's failure and
the wrecking Of the League Of Nations hone.
the American people will see clearly enouph
who brought that disaster to pass. and will
proceed upon the principle where the Of
tense IS, there let the great ak fall"

OUlPS AND QUIDDITlES
Everybody

There had been q quarrel. Everybody
could see that the minute they came into the
street car. The woman sat with tightly
pressed lips, her hands gripping her UNI
brella firmly. The man sank down on his
spine and glowered at the advertisements.
The other passengers got interested.
Then there came a dead silence as the
car halted to let off passenger. Into the
silence came the woman's thin, angry voice:
''If it wasn't for me you'd be the biggest
fool in town."
Then for the first time the man grinned
and the others grinned with him.

THE ENEMY TEST
By DR.. Frank Crane

BY DT. FRANK OTdEC
Some one observed concerning Grover
Cleveland that we loved him for the enemies
he made.
This is not bad sort Of test Of any man
or measure.
Action is equal to reaction in morals az
in physics.
The kind of people who hate you Is q
pretty good indication Of the kind OF man
YOU are And the kind OF people who leap
to attack any new proposal Is fair measure
of It's quality.
Apply this to the biggest question today be-
fore mankind, the League Of Nations
First of all, 1t Is but honest and decent TO
saw that the League Is opposed by some SIN
cere and high minded people. For what seem
to them good reasons they do not bel1eVe
in it, Just as there are honest rolK VINO uo
not believe in democracy, nor IN private prop
erty. nor in marriage, nor IN GOD. Tnls Is
free country and such persons nave right
to their opinions, and much as we dl1ter from
them, it is unfair to call them nara names
But granting this sincere opposition wa can
not help seeing that almost the Wnole oouy
of blatheskites, Bourbons and misch1et-maK-
ara in the world have arrayed themselves
against this first orderly effort OF the human
race to end the folly and horror Of war
/. The Militarists everywhere oppose II;
the Chauvinists Of every land; the JunKers
of Germany (who are not all dead by any
means) the mad d'Annunzios; and all those
who cannot conceive Of Patriotism In other
terms but jingoism and antional vanity, ana
can understand no courage but bellicosity.
e. All those who still believe in tho kali
sers gospel of might, that there can be no
government nor peace not based On big armies
and navies. This includes all the tnfields to.
wards humanity, all who laugh at ideals and
trust only in money and power-an who re-
gard Human Nature as hopeless.
g. All the exploiters Of race hate, who play
upon the blind and narrow prejudice of class,
such as hatred Of the Japanese and OF the
English.
T. All the cutters, who were afraid to 'p-
pose the war account Of the overwhelming
sentiment here, but who now favor DESERVING
our Allies, retiring to our own door yard and
exploiting the miseries of Europe instead OF
helping.
5. All the partisans, who put political ad-
vantage before duty to mankind.
g. A certain section Of England-haters,
who would go to any lengths, even to the
wrecking of the world, to cripple England.
7. Every pro-German group.
s. Almost all the blatherskites Of record,
including those who seek profit or prominence
by appealing to ignorant prejudice.
Again it should be admitted frankly that
there are honest doubters of the feasibility
of a League of Nations. But they are in
precious poor company, and one would think
this thought would give them some uneasi-
ness.
And, this most important of all, NOBODY
HAS PROPOSED ANY OTHER WAY TO END
WAR At least a League is One Way. It
may be a poor one. But how can any hui
man being who loves his kind oppose giving
it trial

GEORGlA'S PECAN CROP
(The brownsville Times-Enterprise.)

(The Thomasville Times-Enterprise.)
Every indication points to q banner crop
of pecans this season. The trees appear to
be filed and almost every variety has borne
well this season. The nuts are beginning to
fall and from every quarter there are pecan
shipments, pecan sales Of all kinds and pecan
activity generally
This is the peLan country Of the world and
it is simply justifying the appelation this
season. There are many men, who are en-
gaging in the business this year and the sale
of the nuts is going on with almost startling
rap1dity, in fact it seems quite certain that
it will be impossible to fill all orders for the
pecan nut that are coming to this section Of
the world.
With judicious care and some little atten-
ton a pecan orchard is prize possession.
brownsville has large number Of hese,
some of the owners Of which have individ-
ually sold as high as thirty thousand pounds
of nuts. The prevailing price to the grower
seems to be about fifty cents and it is an
adequate return on the investmnt in every
instance.

1t Is peculiarly appropriate that the North
Georgia Conference should convene this year
in Atlanta, because here has been consoli-

cat1onal enterprises of the church-Emorv
University and Emory College, now consti-
tuttng the University's School of Liberal
Arts. This institution is one of which Meth

in the South, and with due support assured
ly will grow renowned throughout America
and the world. It's registration Of students
for the current term is approximately seven
hundred, as compared with some five hun
dred last year; it's opportunities are con-
stantly widening, and it's need Of a larger
endowment to keep pace with them grows
ever more imperative.
Atlanta warmly welcomes the assembled
representatives OF the church that is devot-
other endeavors which make for the common
good. 1t is an honor to have them as guests,
and rare pleasure as well.

law which others are constrained to observe?
Thus, to quote the Attorney General,
"The Government faced the alterna-
tive of submitting to the demands OF
a particular group, to the irreparable in
Jury of the whole people, or of challeng-
ing the assertion by that group Of power
greater than that Of the Government
Itself. Confronted with such choice,
the Governments duty was perfectly
clear. 1t refused to surrender to the
dictation of group, and 1t proposes to
assert its power to protect itself and the
people, whom it is designed to serve.
The Government is no respecter OF per-
sons in the enforcement Of the law.
Those who conceive that the resolutions
Of convention or the orders OF the Oh
ficers of any organization IN the coun-
try, whether labor organizations or any
other are superior in authority to the
law Of the land will find themselves
mistaken"
Fortunately for all interests, the respon-
sible heads of the miners union came to
this same reasonable and fair c"~"1usion and
obeyed the Courts mandate. This was the
only course to be expected of true Americans,
the only course consistent with the duties and
Royalties OF good citizenship, the only course
which the public would have countenanced.
The miners officials have spoken with a So
berness that is refreshingly different from
the wild and whirling" words into which
Mr.. GomperG, usually 80 temperate, suffered
passion to betray him in mis- discussion OF this
issue. We shall never settle such questions
by hot heads and flashing tongues We
shall never settle them by ignor-
Ing the rights Of the rank and file In order
to indulge special privileges to any faction or
group, or by subordinating the interests OF
the many to the particular advantage OF few
thousand or few million individuals There
will be no justice either for labor or for cap
ital or for the unbiased pubic unless Inc
respect for law on which our Government Is
based is maintained, and unless the sense
Of duty and Of fair play in which our de-
mocracy has It's being is kept alive. AS evi-
danca that this respect and this sense Of duty
ara still dominant even where the tempta-
ton to disregard them is strong, the outcome
OF the miners issue with the Government Is
highly assuring. Let us hope that the lesson
here 80 reasonably and so empnatics!y
tauSht will guide ali parties In all IN
dustrial controversies to which these transi-
tional times give rise
