"a POISONED DAGGER" /"

FlT is the purpose of Mr.
I'll Lodge and his Republican
associates on the senate
foreign relations committee to
Kill the peace treaty, why do
they not come out openly and
declare their intention? Not
one of them is so ignorant as
not to know that the senate has
no power to amend treaty. 1t
can accept or reject. Senator
Lodge in his time has helped
burke too many treaties by
processing to amend them not
to realize exactly what he is do
ing now.
If the senate were induced
through the action of the Re-
publicans of the foreign rela-
tions committee to vote to am
end the Shantung section, it
would amount to rejecting the
treaty. If it were to accept the
Fall amendment changing in
more than fifty places the lam
guage of the treaty relating to
commissions charged with the
execution of its terms, it would
be practically a refusal to rati-
fly. To introduce any changes
in the treaty would mean at
the best that the negotiations
at Paris must be reopened and
indefinitely prolonged. Great
Britain, Belgium and Germany
have already ratified the trea-
ty. If France, Italy or Japan
joins them, it will be in effect
for the ratifying powers. How
will the Republican senators
under Mr.. Lodges inspired
leadership compel the ratify-
ing nations to rewrite their de-
cisions regarding Shantung or
any other debated point in the
agreement?
If Senator Lodge and his
followers purpose isolating the
United States from other pow
ers associated in the treaty and
forcing it to abandon them in
peace after fighting by their
side in war, let them declare
themselves plainly and invite
the judgment of the American
people. Senator McCumber
spoke the honest truth when
he charged them with driving
"a poisoned dagger" into the
body of the peace treaty

CALL MR.. GOMPERS.

In a certain district of New
York a housewives union has
been formed-not as might be
supposed for the purpose of
demanding shorter hours and
more pay for the wives-but
rather to set limit to the exac-
tions of servant girls who were
then getting a minimum of So
and board for eight hours
work and wanted more. That
New York problem should be
an easy one to solve. The fact,
however, that a housewives
union has been formed even for
such a purpose as outlined fur
nishes ground for apprehen-
sion. 1t may be well for us to
hurry and have Mr.. Gompers
administer a little modern
training to the husbands pro-
tective association.

IN MEMORY OF CECIL SKINNER

In the death of Cecil Skinner, whose
funeral was held Tuesday, a wide cir
Gle of friends, and indeed the whole
community as well as those of his i'm
mediate family, have suffered an OUT
standing loss.
Cecil was born here March 31st,
1893, and thus had nearly completed
26 years of life when he was stricken
down in less than a week by the dread
influenza and pneumonia. He took the
course in the Bookings schools, be-
ing graduated from the high school
in 1912. In 1913 he went to the Uni
versity of Michigan to take his high
er education there, and spent two
years there. He was elected a men,
Der of the Kappa Sigma fraternity in
which he made many loyal friends.
Blu his tastes ran more to outdoor
life and he returned here to take the
course in our agricultural college. He
was graduated from the S. D. S. c.
in 1916. Most Of his vacation periods
ere spent on the farm, and on the
completion of his college work he rent
ed a farm of his father, c.. A. Skin
ner, nine miles north of town and be-
gan work on this on March /, 1917.
Through his high school and col
lege days Cecil was a leader in 'ath.
~letics, becoming what many excellent
judges considered the best all around
athlete in the northwest. He was es.
pecially good in football and track
work, and the year that the Univer-
sity of Minnesota had it's most fam
Gus team he was one of two men TO
score against this great machine.
He was a most genial, friendly, com.
panionable man and these qualities,
together with his clean manhood, en-
deared him to all who knew him.
On April 21st, 1917, he married Miss
Mary Blanch Phelps, of Lake City,
Mimi, who survives him, although she
has been very i'll with the influenza
also. Brief services were held at the
home in the country Tuesday noon,
and burial was at Greenwood. **
