WARNING AGAINST

 For the bureau of internal revenue pre-
 pairing to enforce prohibition, has re-
 ceive,f 30 many reports of such illicit op-
 erations that it has seen proper to issue a
 formal and grave statement of facts, in
 cluding official warnings.

Thes indicate their action of the future by declaring the treaty dead, and point ing to the President as the author of the death of Cock Robfn.
 LODGES DELAY OF DEATH"
 In view of these facts, and having in mind the oncoming presidential year. It Is safe conclusion that if the demo- crats fail supinely to kneel before the
 republican majoritya and swallow any
 medicine that majority offers, Senator
 Lodge, having the treaty again in the
 hands of his committee, will carry out
 his threat and subject it to the delay
 of death''
 There will be little else done. The re-
 publicans have shown themselves pitia- bly, afraid of profiteers. the majority of whom are in the strongest republican
 centers. The republicans have shown
 themselves extremely timid in facing the
 leaders of organized labor So it is req
 sonable to suppose that until after the people have elected another President,
 the profteer will be permitted by Con gress to go his way rejoicing, and the
 labor leaders of the radical persuasions
 will be permitted to continue their con trihutions to the national unrest.
 The republicans have very weighty matters on their minds. They must se- feet a standard bearer. And before dis cussing the several men whom some of the recalcitrant senators think possible winners it might be well to refer to one most obvious fact The republican poll tieians ignore and have for long months ignored the biggest republican in the United States not only in ayoirdupois but in mental strength and patriotism 1 in Americanism, or whatever one desires to call "all round manhood" This in l dividual is William H. Taft, former President. The reason Is said by close ] observers to be obvious. On account oi tte action of the republican Senate, the re publican party must rise or fall by it's opposition to the League of Nations. Months ago. Mr Taft espoused the League of Nations. He has openly and aggressively fought for the covenant. He has criticised Lodge and Borah and
 Reed and Penrose when those senators were considered wrong, and he has crit- icised. likewise, certain of the statements or attitudes of President Wilson In other words, he gave indication of an honest and earnest desire that league ! of states for the prevention of war be formed.
 TAFTS POLITICAL DEATH This killed Mir. Taft as far as the re- publican party was concerned. Like
 Borah. the party refers to the former
 President as 'one of the dead.'' And. in somewhat similar manner, MT. Taft con siderably hurt himself in political way with his party by his course during the 1 time of the war against Germany. He was too aggressively patriotic, and toe aggressively bitter and vindictive against l tLe man who took advantage of the
 commercial opportunities heartlessly tc
 prey on the American people.
 And for those several reasons the pub

MaSOnS Will Build

At d meeting of the local Ma
sonic Lodge held here Saturday
evening, it was decided to 90
ahead with building plans and it
is likely that before many
months have passed away, the
lot on the corner of Main and
Court streets will be graced by
a handsome edifice that will add
much to the appearances of the
block destroyed in the June fire.
A representative from the of
flee of r. Nj. Bates, Jr., the
Huntington architect, was pres
ent at the meeting with plans
for three story and basement
building to cost in the neighbor-
hood of $25, 900.
Of course no specific plans
have been adopted and the
whole matter is in its infancy,
but there is no doubt now that
the Masons will erect a home
that the community will be proud
Of and that will reflect much
credit upon the fraternity.
