Not in many years has there been
as much activity in real estate in

What a pity to have had a Peace
Conference in Paris when a few
United States Senators, unacquainted
with the actual conditions that are
confronting the conferees, but very
Jealous of President Wilson, could
have settled the whole matter in five
minutes. A headliner in one of the
city dailies asks the question, Are
seats in the United States Senate for
sale? One who follows carefully the
utterances of some members of that
body would readily assume that they
were sold, and that the purchasers
possessed more money than brains.
1t is extremely unfortunate that
in these times of great rejoicing ov-
er the return of the millions of
American soldiers to their homes
and families, and when the whole
world seems to be seriously and
earnestly striving to reach an agree
ment to prevent recurrence of such
a war. that a few men should be so
partisan as to feel no sorrow for the
millions whose lives have been sacri-
feed, to have no sympathy with the
movement that seeks to prevent such
sacrifices in the future, no vision in
to the minds of the people who are
determined that, with Gods help, no
such condition shall ever arise again,
but who instead, with their faces
and hearts and intellect, set back
wards, see only chance to play pea
nut politics. With such men promi-
nent in the nations affairs, is is any
wonder that Bolshevism and anarchy
should flourish? There is not a man
of this type in Office in the United
States today who can truthfully
claim that he was honestly elected;
his election was either the result of
direct bribery or crooked political
methods; such men are not in har.
mony with the times and never can
be again.
