Predicts Deafeat for C. o. P.
Ignominious defeat awaits the Re-
publican party in 1920, Senator
Beckham predicted, if it makes the
league an issue.
Taking up the Shantung provis-
ion, Senator Beckham answered the
criticism of it in detail.
Developments in the League of
Nations fight today were:
First-President Wilson resumed
his efforts to convert Republican SEN
ators to the League of Nations idea.
Second-The State Foreign Rela-
tions Committee refused the Presi-
dents requests that it approve his
appointment of an American member
of the Preparations Committee before
the treaty is ratified.
Third-Debate on the peace treaty
and the League of Nations was re-
sumed on the Senate floor.
That President Wilson considers
his conferences with Republican Sen
ators vitality important was evident
from the fact that he rose from his
sick bed, in such a weakened condi-
ton that it was doubtful if he would
be able to remain up all day, to meet
his callers.
The rebuff given him by the For
eign Relations Committee also was
regarded significant. Had Wilson's
request been granted he would have
been able to name delegate to help
the carrying out by Ger
many of reparation clauses Of the
treaty before it is ratified.

Welcoming General Pershing.

General Pershing is a typical American
product and he comes home after giving dis
tinguished service on foreign soil apparently
unspoiled and still thoroughly democratic He
continues to give all the credit for the mag
nificent showing of the American army to the
men in the ranks who did the work, endured
the physical hardships and offered their bodies
as targets for lead and steel.
The fact remains, however, that the leader
ship Of our forces was well up to the standard
set by the fighting men, General Pershing was
one OF the few high in command who retained
their positions to the end of the struggle. That
means that he must have been big enough for
the job as it was put up to him, and that his
selection was a wise one. He was fortunate,
of course, in that the coming of his forces
definitely turned the tide against the enemy
and success for allied arms came easier than
in the earlier stages of the war. Naturally,
under the circumstances there would be less
demand for a change of leadership than if
the struggle were prosecuted on more even
terms Even so, the general is entitled to the
benefit of whatever doubt there may be in the
premises. He measured up to every demand
and we may fairly assume that he would have
shown just as good metal under any crcum-
stances.
Only a few of the doughboys remain in
Europe. The return of it's leader really marks
the end of the story of the American expedi-
tionary force. 1t is a fitting time for a cele-
bration, not only in honor of General Per-
shing, but also for the men who fought under
him. Their achievement is one which cannot
be too deeply impressed upon the American
mind

Exit Cash Catcher.

Appearances indicate that the Tri-City Rail
way company has come to realization at last
that the cash catchers installed on its cars a
year ago this summer, have been disappoint-
ment and failure. The contriEance was re-
moved from all cars on this side of the river
this morning, but it is still in use on the
bridge line and the Davenport cars.
1t will be remembered that at the time the
company installed this device, The Argus op-
posed it on the ground that it involved unnec-
essary hardship and annoyance to the patrons
OF the company, and there has been more or
less protest. on the part of the public, ever
since they were introduced.
The Argus at the time expressed its opinion
that in introducing the cash catchers, the com
pany had simply bought something from some
body who had something to sell; that it had
made an investment of something like $4,000
that could have been spent to better advan-
tage so far the public was concerned, at
least, and that sooner or later it would be
shown that a mistake had been made
This seems, finally, to have been the case

Wasting the Senate's Time.

Senator Poindexter yesterday took some
Of the valuable time of the upper house of
congress to tell what opponents OF the League
of Nations offer as a substitute for that COM
pact and in deploring what will happen to
the Monroe doctrine if the president has his
way.
The substitute, the senator said with an
oratorical flourish, is the constitution of the
United States, the Declaration of Independence
and the Lincoln government" It has been
very good in it's day and has served admirably.
Still it is possible that times have arisen in
which even the basic principles on which we
have depended for so long may not exactly fit.
The constitution has needed amending from
time to time and nobody ever doubted that
the process would have to continue indefinite
ly. The colonies were quite right in declaring
their independence of England, but declaring
independence of the rest of the world in these
days of rapid transportation and communica-
ton is an entirely different matter. AS for
committing Lincoln to the present situation
that is hardly fair. inasmuch as the great
emancipation is not here to speak for himself.
There is something strangely inconsistent
in the vast concern that is being expressed
over the Monroe doctrine. Instead of being
tries which never have ceased to question our
motives and resent our solicitude toward them
it Is now proposed to expand the brotherhood
idea to other continents and let other strong
nations share the role with US. The greatest
compensation we have had from the Monroe
doctrine has been the self satisfaction we have

the employees in anything like fair and con-
eiliatory disposition at the outset, instead OF
assuming a vanderbiltian reserve, and indif-
ference, the whole trouble might have been
averted, and the public saved the inconven-
fence and annoyance which it has suffered for
some time
The "I have nothing to say policy does
not get far, when disputes are on. The COM
pany applied this attitude both to it's employees
and to the public. 1t owed both an explana-
ton. Had those who were apparently in pow
er to speak for the company, met the en-
ployes in anything like a spirit of fairness and
talked matters over, cautioned against too
hasty action and given the subject Just and
square consideration and had it shown an in
clination to be outspoken to the public at all
times, it is confidently believed an early solu-
ton would have been reached.
There is nothing to be gained by an arbi-
trary disposition and employers should al
ways be ready to at least listen to the griev-
snces of their employees. But unfortunately,
as President Wilson states, they so often fail
to do this.

PROFITEERING.

Methinks it is lucky thing that
they are up so high, the little
worlds of twinkling light. the dia-
monds in the sky; for if they dared
to come too near the earth's cold,
sordid crust, some enterprising
profiteer would form a stellar
trust. He'd take the brilliant dia-
dems that through the darkness
shine and put them into storage
cold and work them like a mine;
the way the market would go up
would be a bowling fright; he'd
hike food prices all day long and
corner stars all night. If we
should wish to feast our eyes on
wrinkles bright and nice. we Ger
tainly would have to reach way
down to find the price. The cost
of living makes US groan, we nurse
our trust-made scars; but, oh, tc
dig up hard-earned plunks to see
our darling stars! l used to wish
that they were near; l murmured
at their height and tried to draw
them down from space along their
tracks of light; but that was many
years ago; and thinking of TO-DAY.
methinks it is a lucky thing that
they're so far away.

VA, MRC. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am is
years old and have been going with
a young man one year m. senior
for almost two years. During that
time he says he has'grown to love
me and says he has reformed since
he has been going with me. / told
him 1 returned his love and am
sure I do now. We both finish
high school this year, but both
know we are very young to think
so much of each other.
There are many other boys and
girls each of us could go with, but
my friend says he would rather go
with me and l feel the same way
about him. We have neither of us
gone with anyone else for some
time. Although it would hurt my
friend greatly and 1 know it
would hurt ME, feel as though it
is my duty to break 'our strong
bond of friendship. Should ]? Or
should | let it go on as it is?
We have only this one more year
of school to be together and will
probably part after that not to
meet for long time. / do not in
tend to get married for four or
five years. Would it be all right
for us to go on this one more term
of school as we have. or is it my
place to stop our "schoolmate"
love affairs? ROSE.
1 suppose I should tell you to
break your strong friendship and
go with other young men, too. l
feel, however. that you should do
what you want to. Analyze your
feelings in this matter and be hon
est. l believe. from the atmosphere
of your letter, that you really
want to go with other young men,
too. Do SO, even if he rebels.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
girl of is and keep house for my
father and go with a farmer boy of
81. My father keeps late hours
and is never home with me. Would
you advise me to marry this farm
er boy when he returns from har-
vest this fall?

Driving a Rash In.
NQIEQ

OLlNAnS II HASH Ius
Mrs. S. Camp is back. She has
been away on a case. She seems
as industrious as ever. She works
long after the doctor has come and
gone, and her work counts for
something in the mortality Stats
tics, too.
Her latest warning to anxious
mothers concerns the care of chill
dren with eruptive fevers such as
scarlet fever and measles. Mrs.
Camp has it from an old doctor
that such patients should not be
bathed, lest you drive In the rash. 3"
Moreover. according to Mrs. Camp
it is equally dangerous to permit
a child with scarlet fever or
measles to have fresh air, for foul
air, according to her notions, also
tends to preserve an inValid's vi
tality, just as filth does.
There is no denying the fact that
a rash sometimes goes in" that
is, it fades, just as a smile may fade
from chiId's face. When smile
fades it goes in just as truly as a
rash goes in, and does the child
just as much harm. The rash of
measles or of scarlet fever is easily
made to fade from the skin by the
pressure of your finger, showing
that it depends upon an excess of
blood in the spots. Press the skin
gently and the spots under your
finger disappear. They have gone
in" But as soon as you release
the pressure they come back. They
depend, therefore, upon the circu-
lation. Remember that the rash
fades or goes in" only as a conse-
quence of some change in the cir
culation. Don't let Mrs. Camps
yammerings confuse you about
that.
Suppose a child with scarlet
fever or measles develops some
severe complication which pro-
duces a failure of the circulation.
Then, as result of the failing cir
culation, not as cause of the COM
plication, the rash may diminish
or go in" To Mrs. Camps eyes
this is the cIearest proof that the
rash has gone in and settled itself
IT. the brain or the kidneys or the
lungs or the heart or wherever the
trouble may be. To any intelligent
mind Mrs. Camps logic is ridicu-
loCs.
A child with measles or scarlet
fever should have a comfortable
bath in bed every day. The patient
deserves cleanliness and thrives on
it. Cleanliness aids the child in
withstanding the illness and get
ting well; it keeps the skin in the
best condition TO 90 it's share of the
work of eliminating disease poi
sons from the body.

go about it to square things with our con-
science if We turn down this opportunity for
broader service? Will not other nations be
justified in the view that the Monroe doctrine

It's the Spirit That Wins.

President Wilson spoke another sound truth
in the course OF his remarks at Des Moines,
in deviating sufficiently from his talk on the
peace treaty, to discuss conditions of unrest in
the country, when he said, "one of the difficult
ties in our labor situation is that there are
some employers who will not meet their en-
ployes face to face and talk with them"
That is largely the situation involving the
difficulties between the Central Union Tele-
phone company and its dissatisfied men and
women in Rock Island and Moline The Argus
has felt from the first, as it has often said,

A tepid bath not only refreshes

in the fight against such an infec-

because such a bath stimulates ami
invigorates the nervous system

The first principle OF intelligent
