A Good Fighter.
Cincinnati Enquirer )

(Clnclnnatl EnQulTer)
 All decent men, and women, we believe ad- mire noble and courageous fighter, whether on the field of battle, in the business on the floor of public debate in the subtle duels of the council chamber.
 Whatever opinion any one may have of the char ecter, talents temperament of Woodrow Wilson, no minded observer deny that he has put up a glorious fight against what have seemed insuperabe League of Nations As exhibition of de termined purpose, of indomitable courage, of the skilul of weapons, of an endurance that has no limitations the fight which this man Of peace has put up appear to all capable observers as the contest between David and Goliath Achilles and Hector, Najoleon and the Duke of Wellington or Marshal Foch and General Hindenburg
 In the first place, he had to encounter the oppo- sition of his constituency, even to his going to field of battle, but he saked his political future his personal judgment and "se his face like flint go what seemed not unlikely to be his crucix- ion.
 Arriving at the field of honor,' he met with ed him with wild applause their leaders held their weapons of criticism behind their backs to knife him he tried dictate deceive. His first perhaps his greatest triumph disarming this suspicion with that could not be resisted.
 And then began that mighty struggle with the judgments the wills of the giants of the political world-Lloyd George, Clemenceau and innumerable representatives of the European Powers Having won their confidence by use of every weapon ever used in such a struggle he tackled the obstacles which divided the nations like mountain barriers. The con fictng interests which had to be harmonized the jeaousies which had to be aayed, the animosites which had be pacifed, such never con fronted the souls of in all the world before.
 And yet, so far as we can learn, the valiant war rior lowered his sword nor traied his banner in the dust, and only lost his temper Serene parried until his enemies laid down their weapons and the obstacles his endeavors vanished. It great fight and glorious victory, but a sterner test of the warriors skill and awaits him here at home.

AS TO BREST.

The report made by Gen. Pershing, himself, on the American camp in Brest ought be lesson to superheated Congressmen and unofficial globe-trotters
 Such men have described the camp as a terrestrial annex of the internal regions They have drawn pie lures which showed American soldiers dying like flies because of the unsanitary surroundings, and have tried to make this country believe that the men who command the army are worse than the ncompe- tent crooked Russian grafters who sold Russia Germany.
 Replying to them Gen. Pershing shows that the record admissions to hospitals reveals Brest as healthier than the average camp in France It shows that the death is low, generally speaking, and that when it has been high the abnormay was caused by patients arriving from the United States during the influenza epidemic supervision and unsparing criticism of the army necessary Ignor ant slanderng of the army is shame.

Invest the Wheat Bonus in Bonds.
Cincinnati Enquirer. )

Not without merit is the proposal that the farmers of the nation shall absorb large share of the com ing victory loan. The Federal Government will re- deem it's pledge to them to $2.26 bushe for the wheat crop of 1919 although under the law of supply and demand it would bring only about $1.25 bushel in the markets of the world Thus there will be trans ferred the public 8reasury more than billion dollars, and it will go into the purse of the wheat raisers
 Fair play being jewel, the benefited farmers can do the handsome thing by the just and generous Gov by investing much possible of this truly immense in the bonds which are to be foated in April. It will mean many things, though single in itself One of them will be that the farm will be getting interest-bearing certificate for his monty. Another will be that the burden upon the banks and financial institutions will be frightened in proportion to the amount the agricultursts ab sorb.
 It is due from the granges and other husbandry socations that they inculcate this duty toward tho general community into the minds of their members Practical patriotism the and its continued exercise will free the nation from the dangers of 3 huge funded debt. Turn the wheat bonus into wal bonds and thus distribute the benefits of the billion broadly
