surrendered its birthright; it will have
given up the spirit as well as the fact
of sovereignty"
The impression created throughout
the country by Mr.. Poindexter's ap-
peal to Americanism was immediate
and profound. Citizens generally had
been inclined to look upon league of
nations as some nebulous power that
was to come and drive war from the
earth. They began to realize that in
stead of preventing war for the Unit
ed States the league would have the
effect of drawing this country into
every world quarrel, as well as sub
stituting the dictation of foreign tri-
bunal for the independence of action
that we had enjoyed so long.
On December Is and March Sena-
tor Knox; on February 81 Senator
Borah; on February &c Senator Cum
Minis; on February 28 Senator Lodge,
Lenroot, and Frelinghuysen; and on
March 3 Senators Sherman and Spenc-
cr-all emphasized the warning deliv-
cred by Mr.. Poindexter. On March 4
the wave of Indignation against the
league had crystallized into the sign
ed statement of the thirty-nine repub-
lican senator's referred to.
From that moment until the final
vote was taken on the treaty the op-
position of the republicans of the sem
ate to any surrender of American SOW
ereignty has been adamant. Arrayed
against them in an effort to undermine
the inherent patriotism of America
has been every resource at the COM
mand of the Administration. Through
the League to Enforce Peace, headed,
be it said with shame, by a republican
ex-presidcnt, huge sums of money
have been collected and expended in
the most gigantic propaganda cam
paign ever conceived. But through the
storm Of misrepresentation and de-
nunciation the republicans Of the sem
ate. and the principles which they
were protecting, have emerged victor
ious. The people of the country have
followed the struggle with absorbing
attention; they have carefully noted
to what party the champions Of their
rights belong; and at the elections
next year will hasten to express their
gratitude in a practical and decisive
way.

WASHINGTON NOTES
"The League Is Dead"

On March 4, 1919, the Republican
Publicity Association issued state
mert in which it was asserted that
THE British Wilsoiian league of ma
tions is dead" The basis of that de-
claration was the resolution signed by
thirty-nine republican senator's of the
new congress, and read to the senate
that day, to the effect that "the con-
stitution of the league of nations in
the form new proposed to tine peace
conference should not be accepted by
the United States" The signers of
that document constituting more than
a third of the senate, it was no spirit
of idle prophesy That prompted the
assertion that .the league is dead"
Its truth has been established in the
drastic reservations adopted by the
senate, which leave only a shell of
the covenant that sought to rob Ameri-
ca Of her liberties.
But the act of the thirty-nine repub-
licans was but TIE elimination of a
national awakening to the dangers
which a league of nations would bring
upon the country. Ever since .he Pres
ident had Incorporated the idea of
league in his Fourt zen Points of Jan
uary 8. 1918, discerning minds had
been turned in that direction. The
first note of public warning of what
impended was sounded by Senator
Miles Poindexter of Washington in
speech in the senate on November 10,
by coincidence almost exactly year
previous to the time the covenant was
stripped of its fatal provisions by
Poindexter and his republican col
leagues. In that speech the Senator
voiced the conviction that, if this coun-
try should become a member of the
league, "ths United States will have

The Four Martyrs of Centralia

The four World War veterans who
yielded their lives in the murderous
attack of the !. w. w. in Centralia,
Washington, did as much for their
country as any patriot who made the
great sacrifice on the fields of France.
If any incident was needed to solidify
the American Legion into unit of
opposition to the radicals of the United
States it is furnished in the Centralia
affair. The swift vengeance that fell
upon those murderers will be dealt
out in like measure to other bands of
anarchists who may attempt to emu
late their example.

CLOSED SHOP MUST GO
Lamar Has Troubles of Its Own in
This Line Outside the Coal
Question.

While the original ideas and aims
OF unionism were right and as such
reI2ived the hearty approval of the
mass of American citizenship, if they
are to be united permanently with the
un-American and destructive idea of
the closed shop both will be abolished.
The closed shop is opposed to all ideas
of liberty which were the foundation
of our constitution and is the same
principle which has made the name
of Hun disgrace in the eyes
of civilized people. 1t is the idea
which is back of all the strikes in the
country today and is giving our ma
tion a black-eye in the very start OF
the new race for commercial expansion
which is beginning all over the world.
1t is closing indstries all over the
country and bringing the women and
children of large Sections of the coun-
try to the point of suffering if not
death from freezing 1t Is retarding
progress in all lines from the largest
to the smallest, and is spreading all
over the country to the smallest ham
lets and even rural districts. In ad-
dition to the coal shortage, which all
are beginning to feel, this idea is now
materially rctarding the building of
houses which at present is the great
est need of our city. Contractors, no
difference how far behind with their
work are forbidden to employ even the
highest skilled labor when non-union
and are offered as a substitute men
whose only qualifications for the job
at all are the cards purchased from
the union secretary. This situation
has been growing here for some time
and is more than any other thing the
cause Of the high cost of building as
competency for the work is no longer
accepted as a qualification. Several
instances have come to the front re-
Gently where men under contract at
certain wages have forced the con-
tractor to pay more in order to get
the work completed and only the past
week men refused to complete build
ing because the foundation was laid
by one Of the most efficient cement
men in the valley, one who has lived
almost his whole business life in La
mar, but has not felt compelled to join
the union. The situation is rapidly
becoming intolerable and it is certain
that the union not only in Lamar but
in the country as a whole will have to
abandon the closed shop or the people
will abolish the unions.

PROCLAMATION

Whereas, the Governors Committee
has reported that notwithstanding
splendid work already done by Federal,
State and municipal agencies, and vari-
Gus relief and public welfare societies,
yet further statewide remedial action
is Immediately necessary to relieve
distress and secure employment of un-
employed service men; and
So that the states attention may
be focused upon this paramount civic
obligation, and that there BE- no delay
in meeting the situation, and that the
state and local government and public
spirited citizens and organizations
may all assist;
L do hereby proclaim Thursday, De-
cember 4th, Soldiers Employment
Day." by which date every employ
ment opportunity In Colorado, and
every unemployed service man, should
be discovered, brought together, and
the work of statewide adjustment be-
gun.
The detailed plan of work previous
to and on this Gay will be publicly an
nounccd by the Governors Committee.
l do hereby appe..l to the Press, to
all employers, employers associations,
chambers of commerce, the Red Cross,
Y. NJ. C. A., Y. w. C. A, War Camp
Service. Knights of Columbus, Jewish
Welfare Board, Salvation Army, and
all other war service and welfare or
ganizatiors, the American Legion and

for carrying out the Committees plan.
Municipalities maintaining employ
ment bureaus are requested to con-
tinue them in operation, at least dur
ing the winter. If public funds are
not available, commercial organiza-

should be called upon for assistance
until such funds can be provided.
The obligation toward returned serv-
Ice men and womeA rests upon every
citizen. The performance Of it cam
not be left to good intentions and fav-
orable sentiment untranslated into

Mr.. MarshaII-Administration Goat

1t is to be hoped that some means
will be found to reimburse our worthy
Vice President for the expense of roy
al entertainments to which he has been
put. There is quite a difference be-
tween the $4,000 salary of the Presi-
dent and the $4,000 stipend given Mr.
Marshall. While Mr.. Wilson jealously
guards his Presidential prerogatives,
although he has been in bed for a
month and unable to exercise them,
he is nothing loath to having the Vice
President bear the burden of state din
ners to kings and heirs apparent. The
country would like to hear that the
White House purse strings are being
loosened up even if no other assist
ance is extended the overworked Mr.

Law and Order Kills Strikes

One of the labor leaders at Gary
says that the Army is responsible for
the loss of the steel strike. Quite
likely that is SO, but only indirectly.
The Army maintained law and order,
and when any strike is robbed of the
excitement of disturbance and riot it
quickly peters out. There is no pleas
ure in loafing upon the streets when
the stimulation of disorder is removed.

LAMAR SAVAGES WIN FROM
ROCKY FORD HIGH SCHOOL
BY Glenn Mclaughlin.

Lamar's 70 otball team in a sensa-
tional comeback defeated he melon
rollers by score of "a to last Sat
urday afternoon at the football field
four blocks west OF the hig,. school.
Coach Griffen with IN inexperienced
eleven at the beginning Of the season
was unable to do much and lost the
first league game to Rocky Ford by
56 TO o score. But Lamar because
they had plenty of perseverance had
learned football enough to nearly re-
verse t..is score. This game lad been
thoroughly planned for by the students
as tae-e WIS . football rally last
Thursday after7'or in the auditorium.
The game started when Leo Smith
made the kickoff for Lamar. Howard
Hall made the first touchdown in the
middle Of the first quarter and Smith
kicked the goal. Paul Pearson made
the next touchdown for Lamar, but
Smith missed the goal.
Captain Beavers made another touch
down and Smith kicked the goal be-
fore the first half was over. making
the score 20 to o in Lamar's favor.
The second half started with Rocky
Ford holding a little tighter line. But
Howard Hall and Clarence La Grand
both Savages, were able to make a
touchdown each and Smith kicked
both goals.
Vanderhoof. Rocky Ford's fullback,
was able to mako n touchdown in the
last quarter. but his punter missed the
goal. One Of Rocky Ford's best play
ers was Quinn, fleety halfback who
weighed but a hundred pounds. Dur
ing the game Lamar completed many
excellent forward passes. Rocky Ford
completed but one. Gerald Beavers
and Paul Beaubien tried for some field
goals, but were rot successful. La
mars team was composed of Paul
Pearson, Gerald Beavers, Orville Win
sor. Kenneth Sewell, Paul Beaubien,
Vern Nelson, Gordon Everett, Robert
Carver, Leo Smith, Howard Hall, Vic
tor Amman, ard Glen Clark. Thomas,
a graduate of Colorado College, was
