No Dispute on This Point.

Senator Norris of Nebraska accuses
President Wilson of making an erro-
neous statement in his ST. Louis speech
regarding the secret treaty between
France, England and Japan over
Shantung.
In his st. Louis address President
wilson said the secret treaty was
made in order to get Japan into the
war. Senator Norris declares the Sc
cret treaty was not made until 1917.
But the shameful feature OF the
Shantung agreement is that the United
States Endorsed it in 1919 for the pur-
nose OF getting Japan into the league
Of nations. and after we had led China
into the peace conference to receive
square deal. There is no dispute ABOUT
the date of our part in the Shantuns
agreement.-Kansas City Star.

First, in that it could care 1or
only small proportion Of the SOL
diers. which in itself would be
discriminating in legislation.
Second. In that no conclusive
evidence has been given that any
great proportion of the soldiers
would want to take advantage OF
this sort Of legislation.
The big point they are making is
that any soldier legislation must
be applicable to all soldiers and
nothing should be brought in
which would. be beneficial to any
particular class, unless at the same
time some other alternative legis-
lation is offered to care for those
who do not chose to take advan-
tage of the first proposal
It Is possible that both houses
of Congress. may vote to increase
the compensation and insurance
features Of the war risk insurance
law. There may be a provision
written into the law to carry the
insurance for every soldier for two
years. This was argued in the
House on Thursday.
Again there is strong senti--
ment for the extension Of the vo-
cational privileges beyond the re-
ployment to the disabled, SO as to
include every soldier who desires
to take advantage of such educa-
tional facilities and opportunities.
Identical bills have been drafted
for submission to the Senate and
the House along this line.

Congress should match the exam

"Billingsgate"?

The New York Herald agrees with
Senator "Jim' Reed of Missouri that
the Presidents speeches on his tour
are nothing but "bi1lingsgate-not
argument" BY way of proof the Her
aid cites the Presidents challenge to
the treaty opponents ito put up or
shut up" and quotes from his Kansas
City speech a sentence: I'VE must
not allow little groups of selfish men
to plot the future of America"
Is this billingsgate"? According to
the standard dictionary "billingsgate"
is vulgar abusive denunciation" or
coarse vituperation." Is it vulgar or
coarse or abusive to say that those
who oppose the league of nations
ought at east be prepared to offer
something constructive in it's place. Is
it vulgar or coarse or abusive to urge
that the course of the American peo-
pie should not be charted by men OF
small minds and contracted vision?
The New York Herald Will have a
great deal of trouble convincing any
body in South Carolina that there is
anything resembling "billingsgate" in
the lucid. forceful, good tempered yet
searching speeches which the Presl-
dent is delivering. We have an idea
that Senator Reed will have quite as
much trouble when he tries the same
thing in Observation-Disclosures News

CITY CLUB COMMITTEE
REPORTS ON TRIP WEST
Picked Up Ideas Finding Approval
by Clubs in Four Big
Cities.

The Washington City Club is start
ing more auspiciously than did the
city clubs in any of the four cities
visited recently by the clubs build
ing committee. according to reports
given at a luncheon held yesterday
afternoon at the clubhouse, on Far
ragut Square.
James Sharp. chairman of the build
ing committee, and E. c. Graham,
another member, reported. In ex-
planning that the committee had been
sent to make a study of club activities
and facilities, J. A. Whitfield. president.
said the committee had visited Phila-
delphia. Pittsburgh, Cleveland and De-
troit. Mr.. Graham went on to Chicago,
where he visited the Chicago Athletic
Club.
Mr. Sharp told of the Cleveland Ath-
letic Clubs unique "sky lease" the club
owning only the upper floors of an office
building. The clubs visited were the
Philadelphia Manufacturers Club, the
Cleveland Athletic Club, the Pittsburgh
Athletic Club. the Detroit Athletic Club
and the Detroit Golf Club.
Mr.. Graham was impressed by the fact
that all of the clubs had found it neces-
sary to throw the club facilities open to
women at all hours. He said the local
ample provisions for the families of
members. An attractive feature which
appealed to Mr.. Graham and which
probably will be adopted here was pro-
vision for numerous lockers in which
members might keep clothes for quick
downtown changes. with an arrangement
for mending and pressing of suits. At
)ne club members had the privilege of
having one suit week pressed and
mended.
