think there is great deal of mis-
conception as to what it was which
brought about the League Of Nations.
1t has been said to be a fad of Mr..
Wilson's; it has been said that he sur
rendered things in the treaty in order
to carry out his fad. This is great err
ror. Mr.. Wilson has not always been
in favor of the League; neither has
Mr.. Lloyd George; neither has M.
Clemenceau. The truth is Tat this
League was incorporated in the treaty
because the plain people Of Great
Britain and of France and of Italy de-
manded a League of Nations as ma
chinery by which this might be made,
as nearly as possible, the last war.
That feeling grew as the morale
weakened in these countries, and the
morale was stitfened by those among
the plain people who urged that the
introduction of League Of Nations
would make war in the future impos-
sible, and that they ought to make
the effort to win the war, because by
so doing, and through a League of
Nations, they would accomplish pur-
pose justifylng the enormous sacri-
tices that a continuance of the war
would involve. This is why the first
resolution passed by the conference
was that mot only must there be a
League of Nations, but it must be the
first thing considered, it must be an
indispensable part of the treaty. All
this came because of the knowledge
of NJ. Clemenceau, Signor Orlando and
Mr.. Lloyd George that the plain peo-
pie of these countries demanded such
machinery. If it is adopted 1t will fur
nish one more instance of the common
sense of the plain people that justifies
a step forward which statesmen and
hating philosophers are afraid to
take.

WhyY Nc Te' ally understand
its prob Ss because they
believe mo ncere effort to
unite the R'u all the nations of
the world ~ event war as far as
possible. And they are willing to IN
dertake the experiment. Now, the
league Is part of a treaty. It, con-
stitutional validity, as far as we are
especially concerned, depends on the
question, What is the scope of the
treaty-making power?
Now, whether the league be consti-
tutIonal or not depends upon the con-
struction that should be put upon it.
The DIRECTORS to the league, many
of them, say that it creates a super
sovereignty, an over-government,
managing directorate In which the
delegated powers are given that only
can be exercised under our constitu-
ton by congress. There might lie
such league; there might be such a
league as France desired to have in
which there would be managing di-

Sioux Falls, S. d., Sept. S.--Declar
ing that pro-Germanism again hat
lifted its head in this country, tht
President declared that "every Gle
ment of chaos" was hoping thert
would be mo steadying hand" place:
on the worlds affairs.
81 want to tell you," said the Pres
ident, "that within the last two weeks
the pro-German element in the Unitet
States again has lifted it's head"
This element saw a chance, he said
by keeping their nation out of tha
League of Nations, to make possible
again what Germany had tried to do
in the great war. 1t was clean-cut
issue, Mr.. Wilson declared, between
this new order or the old German or
der.
Although it was raining when the
Presidents train arrived, the down
town streets were lined with crowds,
and a wave of cheering followed the
President on his way to the Colise-
UNI. A Shriner's band led the party.
Gov. Peter Norbeck, Republican,
presided at the meeting. Mrs. Will,
son, who sat on the stage, was pre-
sented with some roses by two little
girls who walked across the stage to
her place while the crowd which
packed the hall cheered. Mrs. Wilson
thanked the girls with kiss and there
were more cheers. The President
opened his address by relating how
lady who shook hands with him at u
way stop today had burst into tears
when she tired to tell him of her son
killed in France.
This incident, said Mr.. Wilson,
brought home to him that the country
had suffered greatly, not for TEN,
porary advantage, but for a perma-
nent betterment of the world. In the
eyes of the American boys who went
across the seas, he continued, the
people of Europe had seen a deter
mination not only to defeat Germany,
but to see that such thing never
happened again.
The President declared that the war
twas no sudden outburst," but the de-
liberate plan of Germany, conceived
years before.
Cooling OF" Process"
The treaty had been framed go that
no future war could occur without at
least six months discussion. In this
cooling off" process, said Mr.. Wilson,
it was certain that much of the pas
sion that starts war would be eradi-
Gated.
Declaring the peace treaty prov:-
sion for an international labor confer
onca would rive laDor n new bill of
rights, the President declared the
treaty was a '1aboring mans treaty"
in the sense that it was a treaty
drawn up for the benefit of the COM
mon people. The political settlements
said the President, were
made for the peoples concerned. He
that the document laid down
brewer the principle that no territory
.ver should be governed except as the
,eople who lived there wanted it gov
rned.

schedule of telephone exchange rates will become
effective in Columbus May by direction of the Opera
ing Board of the United States Telegraph and Telephone
Administration acng under the order of the Postmaster
General of the United States.
As you know all of the lines and property of this COM
pany in the possession control and being oper
ated by the United States Government under the drec
ton of the Postmaster General of the United States
The new rates are necessary in order that additional
may be secured by the government to meet the
increased operating expenses. The causes which make
greater telephone necessary due to the new
conditions and the new price levels introduced by the
and entirely beyond the control of the United
States Telegraph and Telephone Administration of
the Telephone Company.
More than two years ago the Company foresaw that
the telephone system would be operated at loss unless
the could be adjusted to meet the increasing costs
of all elements entering into the production of service
similar rate adjustment would have been unavoidable
under private control and the rate schedule is prac
ticaly the same would have sought in 1918 if the
government had not taken possession of our property
AS stated by the Postmaster General the owners of
the telephone system do not benefit in way from
rate changes Practically all of the increased operating
expenses which require this additional due
to increased wages paid employees to enable them to
meet the new conditions of life in the present day
1t is neither practicable desirable to reduce wages,
and so far as wages concerned believe that por
ton of the increased operating expenses to be perma
nent
The rate schedule is fair and reasonable and the
percentage of increased which it will produce
much lower than the increased cost of other services
and commodities of a similar character.

may be obtained at the managers office. We max
