TREATY MAY NOT
BE- SIGNED, SAYS
FRANK SIMONDS
Sees Possibility That Ger
many and Italy Will Refuse
to Agree to Terms.

Paris, May With the Germans in
Versailles events of the last few days
have raised three questions, no one
of which can be answered at present
These questions are:
Will the Germans sign the treaty
to be presented to them?
VIII the Italians return to confer

sign?
VIII the French and British sign pro-

Withdrawal Weakens Entente
It Is patent that the temporary with
drawal of the Italians has weakened
the position of the entente at critical
hour. Germany comes to Versailles to
face not a united and victorious ALI

tarily, Of one OF its constituent parts.

precipitated the Italian withdrawal

German representative to make CAPT.

If Germany signs she will consent to
the loss Of at least $4,000 square miles
of territory and 5000, 900 of people,
with the loss OF vast sums of money,
now and In the future. The govern
ment which signs such a treaty will

.SUFFRAC|STS ARE CONFIDENT OF AN
 EARLY VICTORY
Victory in Missouri Com Completes Unity of Area
 West of Mississippi.

Within three months, Presidential suffrage has been granted to the women of six states. This includes Missouri, where the Presidential suf- fage bill has passed the Senate, has is sponsored by the Governor, who will therefore undoubtedly sign it. Victory ill Missouri means there is no state west of the Mississippi with out some form of woman suffrage. The states included in the list Yer mont, Wisconsin, Indiana, Maine. Minnesota, and ur,-represent the west, the south, and New England. Presidential Privilege.
 The addition of these six states brings the number in which women have Presidential suffrage up to ten, and gives states in which women vote the control of over one-half of the electoral college. With full suffrage in fifteen states, and primary sui frage in Texas and Arkansas, where 1 it is equal in all practical respects to full suffrage, the voting states con- trol also over half of the Senate, prac- tically half of the House, and almost half of the votes in the party conven- tions. The fact that it is unjust, while women vote in so large a DOT tion of the country, to deprive other sections of the voting strength of their women, it is prophesized will be one of the strongest arguments in bringing about the early passage of the federal amendment in the cx- tra session of Congress.
 Suffrage leaders claim that when the amendment comes to vote, it vii receive large majority in the lower House and will pass the Senate witl several votes to spare. No polls are being announced, but it is stated by the National Women's Party that as- surances of the support of the amend ment have been received from more than two-t thirds of the newly elected members of the House of Representa- tives, and that several members who voted against the amendment in 1918 have announced a change of posi- tion due to passage of such measures as Presidential suffrage in their own states.
 Admitted To League.
 Women are now pointing to the fact that, under the ruling of the League of Nations commission, wom- en may hold any office in the Leag- ue of Nations, and that American women so long as they are without suffrage in their own country are at a disadvantage compared with the women of voting nations. Nine. teen governments have enfranchised all thair womop cjpco Amoricon ,,o,,, en began their struggle, state by state, in 1869. Twelve nations have extended political freedom to women during the last year. The countries in which women vote includ:
 Isle of Men, New Zealand, Aus tralia, Finland, Norway, Iceland, ] Denmark, Russia, Canada, Austria, Czecho-Siovakia, England, Garmany Hungary, Ireland, Poland, Scotland Wales, Holland, and Sweden.

TT IS BETTER TO
 SAVE NOW THAN
 BE SORRY LATER

After the Revolution, when ques- tions of national finance were upper
 most in the minds of all who desired the prosperity and success of the new government, Benjamin Franklin remarked: "A small increase in in dustry in every American, male and female, with small diminution of luxury, would produce a sum far
 superior to all we can hope to beg or superior to all we can borrow from
 all our friend sin Europe"
 This observation of Franklin has its application to the building of a
 home. A little moro industry, little ldenial of luNuries, and one might add,
 a little foresight, will combine to
 make home ownership a reality. One
 of the strongest Inducements to the
 habit of saving is having in mind all
 the time a definite purpose; and of
 all the definite purposes one might
 have, none is more worthy, none
 sounder economically and none more
 promotivc of happiness and security than the building of home,
 Many a family struggles through out it's whole history without dscov-
 cring that all it's troubles are due to
 the single fact that it's members will
 not so limit their expenditures as to
 leave safe margin between income and outgo. While present necessity does not compel them to do so. they lack the foresight to see that future necessity that age and infirmity will force upon them. The man who to- day causes he can look little furth~ CT ito future than the man who goes on spending all his earnings while living in a rented house, and leaves the future to take care of itself" He lacks the imagination to project himself into the future ten, fifteen or twenty years, to period of his life when ownership of a home would afford him the peace and comfort that no other possesson can give.

Approves Shields Position,


Editor The News:
l am not a politician to the extent
of holding or seeking an office either
federal or state, and, therefore. l be-
lieve / can express my views Impair
TALLY and not fear that president
or any other public functionary, who
has the appointing power. will crush
my aspirations by refusing me an office
or remove me from one because l dare
entertain views upon public questions
differing from his own.
Much has been said and written, Mr..
Editor, recently. touching the an
nouncement Of one of the United States
senators from this state, Judge John
X. Shields. that he would not favor
or vote to ratify the proposed league
OF nations, which. in his judgment,
would involve or embroil this country
in the wars and revolutions OF
Europe or Japan. Now in the name OF
reason and common sense what less
could Senator Shields have said or done
as an honorable man, and senator from
Tennessee? This is not, and should
not be, a party question in any sense
of this term. and it cannot be fairly
or honorably considered or pressed
upon from any standpoint other than
that of the welfare and stability of
this government us a republic. and
am constrained to believe that any
senator who will wilfully indorse or
ratify an important measure like this
which possibly involves the very life OF
this government. merely to crafty the
ambition of a designing politician of
either high or low degree, is not a
fit or proper person to represent his
state or people in that august body
known as the senate OF the United
States.
Pray, what Is a senator for anyway II
he has honest convictions Of his own.
and is such a moral coward that he
does not obey the diCtations of his
conscience upon matter like this.
which may be fraught with the most
direful consequences to the country
and nation that is nearer and dearer
to him than any other on the face OF
the earth?
Personally. I do not know Judge
Shields. but he is evidently an able
man, and | have never heard his in
tegrity or devotion to his state or
nation impugned from any source what
ever; and If indeed the senator is I'M
der any obligations to stultify himself
by declaring allegiance to something
which his conscience and his better
Judgment tells him is wrong. the sooner
we abolish our republican form of gov
eminent and install an autocracy in its
stead the sooner we VIII know where
we stand.
Alas Mr.. Editor, while 7 dislike to
believe it, our country is cursed by a
plethora OF office seekers, who in
stead of being leader and molders of
public opinions will throw to the winds
thier honest opinions and subscribe
to and fallacy or vagary, and worship
at the shrine of any ambitious Of
fetal, If that worship will only enable
them to reach their goal-a public Of

PLUME DEFENDS PLAN.

Discussions by Glenn T.. Plumb OF
his proposal for handling the rail-
roads OF the country indicate that he
is keenly alive TO the defects and OBJ
jcctions urged against II. These he
meets with skill which evinces
careful study OF his scheme. II the
draft of the plan is susceptible TO the
interpretations which he offers in ex =
PLANTATION, II Is n much more toler-
able solution than is generally be-
lieved. And Mr. Plumb seems to ap-
preciate fully that a permanent solu-
ton is what the American publ C
| desires.
1t is the contention OF Mr.. Plum b
that his plan IL the only one offered
which safeguards the interests of the
public. This is accomplished partly
by giving the public representation
in the management, and partly by
the elimination of "water" in the
capitalization. lie is not exactly
clear how the latter process is to be
consummated, though inferably this
| may be done by canceling the stock
| which does not represent a money
investment or by taking over the
| roads at their market quotation
rather than their book value. He
places the market value at about
$12 1000, 100000.
Mr.. Plumb stoutly insists that he
and those he represents do not con-
template venture into state social
ism nor does their plan involve gov
eminent ownership as the term is
usually understood. He declares that
they favor government financing of
the proposition because under gov
eminent auspices only can the ques-
ton OF the legal obligations of the
roads be. threshed out and because
only the government could finance
such a transaction. But they believe
that under the "tripartite" scheme.
there will exist every incentive for
individual effort and for efficiency
and economy of service.
The Plumb plan, we are assured
by its author, leaves the fixing of
rates in the hands of the interstate
commerce commission, adjustments
to be made upon a sliding scale in
accordance with net earnings shown.
In the matter of assurance that en-
ployes under his plan would not by
progressive wage demands force up
rates to an unreasonable figure. Mr..
Plumb points out that this would not
be possible because the natural in
terests of ten out of fifteen directors
provided would place them in opposi-
ton to such a process. Mr.. Plumb
has not thus far stated, however,
whether he can obligate those he rep
rcsents not to force the hands of di-
rectors by means of strikes.
1t is insisted in behalf of the plan
that it comedies with the theories of
capitalism in that it recognizes the
value of brains and provides suitable
rewards In addition. 1t assigns to
brains one-third of the control. If 1t
can be shown to be possible in the
development of the proposition to so
safeguard the interests Of labor and |
all others concerned that strikes may |
he abandoned because no longer nee
essary, a wonderful revulsion of IA |
vorable popular sentiment will result.
We believe such a showing Is not
impossible.

NEEDLESS FURRY.

Republican congressman are very
much concerned over the presidents
tour. They feel that there are nu-
merous acute problems whose solu-
ton demands his steady and con-
slant attention, and that his depar-
ture from the seat of government
will delay the process of signing bills
and resolutions and so prove a more
or less grave peril to the country.
Nest readers, however, can readily
recognize the speciousness of this
plea. Perhaps there is some justiti-
cation for it. But the lawyers tell
us that he who demands equity must
do so with clean hands. Those who
insinuate that the president is neg
Letting his duties should exhibit a
clear record of attending to their
own. This congress has not done,
and probably will not do.
In insisting that the president re-
main at Washington and~ operate
with them In adjusting the labor sit
uation, reducing the cost of living
and other intricate questions, con-
gressmcn should be able to show con-
structive progress on their part. But
they prefer to talk politics. pass the
buck" to the president or let the
country drift. The propriety of the
Presidents tour may be a debatable
proposition, but not from the fact
that It will hinder the good work OF
congress. The latter is a negligible
quantity.
