Blinded by partisanism or the
natural limitations of their own

the peace treaty have apparently
forgotten that a great war has
been fought and that billions IN

of millions of brave men, We're

play manful part in the strug-
gle, they appear too willing now
for America to step aside and to
allow the entire scheme Of stetle-
ment, arrived at after months of
deliberation by the greatest
minds Of the allied nations to be
swept aside. 1t is true they do
not say this in so many words
but that is the logical effect Of
their actions. The refusal to rati-
fly the treaty without amend
ments affecting vital features OF
it can mean nothing else than
that real peace is indefinitely
postponed, with the fate of the
League Of Nations, which is de-
signed to prevent future wars,
hanging in the balance. The
amendment Of the Shantung pro-
vision alone is sufficient to
threaten the peace of the world.
All of the great allied powers
stood out for the settlement which
was finally accepted on behalf Of
American by President Wilson.

The Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams in Oklahoma don't like the
part played by Senator Gore dur
hing the war. At their annual
meeting in Ada this week they
unanimously adopted the follow
ing resolution;
''The Sons of Veterans organi-
cation by its constitution is non
political and strictly fraternal
but from the beginning Of the
world war one man, who has been
entrusted with one Of the highest
offices in this state, has prostitut-
ed the high trust reposed in him
to the cause of the enemy and
proven unfaithful to our eomman-
der in chief in time of need, and
by algning himself with other
obstructionists in the United
States senate, gone contrary to
the wishes and desires of at least
W percent OF the people of this
state and caused loyal Oklaho-
mans to hang their heads in
shame, and whereas, his portrait
now hangs in the Confederate
memorial room at the state capi-
tol in Oklahoma City

that this body, in convention as
