On the eve Of adjourning the special

On the eve of adjourning the special
session of Congress there was much
haste in the House of Representatives
to pass bills which had been before
that branch for five or six months,
though there was no prospect, even if
there had been the wish, to have them
adopted by the Senate. 1t was trick
to give the people the impression that
the Republican legislators are busy
with the public needs.

observations are called to mind by the
conduct Of Senator Lodge during the
closing hours Of the recent extra SEES.
sion OF Congress. Actuated by mean
and maleoolent partisanship. and ex-
asperated by his failure to secure the
support OF more than dozen sena-
tors OF his own party, he offered a reso-
luton declaring the war between the
United States and Germany at an end
He so worded his resolution that 1t
should be concurred in by the House
OF Representatives and become eff
fective without the signature of the
President.
II not poison blind, Lodge must have
been blinded by something or he
would not have offered such a reso-
luton, because it is in conflict with
our Federal constitution. Section Z
of Article / Of the Constitution of the
United States provides:

And there is another blind mans
smash in this Lodge resolutions At
ter killing the peace treaty, for the
present at least so far as this coun-

declares that by the terms Of the
peace treaty it ended the war when
ratified by three of the five great pow

and that the ratification of these 9TH
er nations had put an end to the war
between Germany and all nations.
If Mr.. Lodge had not been poison
blinded, or blinded by something, Is
it not fair to assume that he would not
have misquoted or misconstrued the
terms OF the peace treaty? The treaty
provides that when it is ratified by
three of the great nations it will come

CANNED ANARCHY q s.
A few years ago the communists Of
wealth formed trusts to destroy com
petition, limit production and rob the.
public. The trusts went into politics,
purchased privileges and thrfved for e
time.
1 And now, after the trusts have ceased
to trouble. many Of their methods are
being adopted by the communists OF
labor, by organizations quite as vicious
as their forbearers. Many Of the lead
ers OF these striking unions are even
worse than the trust managers. They,
are men who have no use for our form
of government; no use for property
rights; no use for our present social
conditions. They are preachers OF dis
order and discomfort, and should be
dealt with as public enemies.
At the bottom of the great strikes
of the present time the struggle is not
SO much for better conditions and
better wages as for the absolute con-
troll OF the industries in which the men
are employed.
Unless organized labor promptly
rids itself Of this Bolsheviki leadership,
it will forfeit the respect and conf
dence Of the public. The public veal
may even make it necessary, to bar
from employment, in factories, mines,
railroads and other like fields Of labor,
all members OF these Bolsheviki unions
that strike for the control Of great in
dustries which vitality affect the well
fare Of the general public and the bu-
siness Of the entire country.

No shock freighted with more
genuine surprise or carrying more
sincere sorrow ever swept over the
hearts Of the people Of this commu-
nifty than that which announced
that Rev. J. E. Thomas, beloved

No man was better prepared to
be called thus unexpectedly than
was Rev. ]. e. Thomas, who was q
good man and lived it and preached
it. He died in the Christian har-
ness. having worn and not disered-
iting the calling throughout a long
ministry in the Methodist church
Sunday morning and evening pre-
ceding the morning of his death ,
Mr. Thomas preached sermons
spiritual and fearless in their oppo-
sition to frivolity and sin. The last
work on earth of this good man was
indicative of a passport into heaven
for him, and pointed a sure guide to
Others of the paths that lead TO the
haven of righteousness, happiness
and peace. Mr.. Thomas is survived
by wife. a son. a daughter and
step children, for whom the people
of the town and wherever they are
known extend sincere sympathy in
