The NeqC Turn IN the Fight
On the Peace Treatv

~ EFEATED thus far at every turn in
their attempts to kill the Peace
Treaty by amendment, Senator Lodge
and his followers are now intriguing to kill
it by reservation. Every cut and patch which
they proposed to make in the Treatys text
has been voted down overwhelmingly, not
withstandng the Endorsement of the major
ity of the Foreign Relations Committee and
hectic assertions that by no other means
could American sovereignty be vouchsafed
A month ago the obstructive Senators were
unbending in their insistence that anything
short of outright and sweeping changes IN
the compact itself, and particularly IN the
the Covenant of the League of Nations, would
he a betrayal or at least a grievous compro-
mise of the nations independence; and with
bitterness born of their petty enmity towards
the President, they Denounced the great WORK
of the Paris conference unsparlngly.
But now, inconsistency enough, they are
ready to ratify, provided they can hedge the
Treaty about with reservations of their own
framing. If they were right in their recent
contentious, they ought not to accept this
agreement in any circumstances That they
will not suffer it to go into effect with It's
manifold blessings to the world If by hook
or crook they can prevent it, is now evident.
They are also determined to accomplish by
reservation that in which they failed alto
gether by amendment, namely, the distortion
and disruption of the Treaty to such an eX-
tent that it will be unacceptable to our as
sociates in the late war and to all other nations
as we'll. Succeeding in that, they will then
move for a separate peace with Germany, and
thus isolate America from her best friends
and her highest interests.
But they will not succeed if there is any
virtue in public opinion and any true discern
ment in the majority of the United States
Senate. Reservations offered by friends of
the Treaty for the sincere purpose of clarity
doubtful safeguarding
hazardous points will be permissible; but for
those offered merely to embarrass the Pres
tdent or to force a final rejection of the
pact, there can be no shadow of defense.

Our Growing Land VaIues.

Impressed by a forecast that the countrys
next census will show an increase of not less
than million farms as well as a pronounced
advance in agricultural land value, the AL
bany Herald looks into conditions in Geor-
gia and finds them we'll abreast of the nation
al trend. Of its own territory it says:
Farm lands in this beautiful agricul-
tural section are passing into the hands
of purchasers who appreciate the unique
combination of fertile soil and equable
climate, and improved methods and a
system of diversified crops are being in
troduced. Within the past four or five
years South Georgia has been rapidly
developing into a live stock country,
and this is attracting the attention Of
stockraisers in other sections less favored
for live stock, particularly hogs and cat
tie
Our contemporary touches an important
factor in the steadily advancing values of
Georgia lands when it refers to diversified
crops and animal husbandry. Not until
these lines of developing were entered upon
were the range and wealth of our farm re-
sources in any wise duly appreciated by
homeseekers and investors in the country at
large, nor indeed by our own people. So long
as the State was put down as a specialist on
cotton, with little or no future in other fields
of agricultural production, there naturally
was scant demand for its farm sites by plant
ers in other regions who wished to raise
food staples Georgia not only found her
self, but also was found by others when this
one-crOp tyranny was thrown off.
But there are factors of another kind that
will do more than theso material improve
ments to increase land values and attract de-
sirable citizens. We mean the upbuilding of
schools, the extension of educational service
in general, and the betterment of highways.
1t is through such facilities that the
richer side of a peoples character finds eX-
preston and development; and character
after all, is the one source of true wealth.

HOW CHEOPS BROKE A STRIKE
ANSWERS JOndOn\

N1HS"IIo LOTIuOH1 :, ,
Labor strikes are not the product of the last
hundred years, as some people think. They
were frequent even in the earliest recorded
days.
One of the greatest strikes that the world
has ever known occurred in Egypt in the reign
of CheopS several thousand years before the
Christian era.
Cheops ordered great pyramid to be built
in his honor and while it was in course OF
construction it is aid that $4,000 worAmen
downed tools and refused to continue the
work
The reason they gave was that the food with
which they were furnished was insufficient
in quantity and poor in quality.
The contractors tried arguing with them and
when that failed soldiers were ordered to drive
the strikers back to work. Many thousands
of them were cut to pieces, while a certain
number escaped and fled the country
The others were compelled to resume their
work,

An unusual rush of emigrants from Italy
toward America is in progress Two th0u-
sand Italians applied for passports to the
United States for the first fortnight of Octo-
Der. The increase of available ships and re-
moval of restrictions on American passports
are given as the cause for the migratory
movement.

The Garfield boys are proving
themselves very capable. Council

They voted also that these things
should be done by Garfield boys.
Lester YOdcr was the first boy

and this is the way it happened:
Howard Thurman and Oran Town

COTTON REACTS ON /

Sudden Drop Occurs in Prices
During the Last Part Of
Days Session.
BUT. UNDERGONE rs GOOD
Close Is Steady and Prices Are
Unchanged to % Points
Higher for Day.

Although the cotton market was
strong again yesterday. q rather sharp
reaction occurred late in the session,
mainly owing to q sudden wave OF
profit taking by longs for over the week
end. The undertone was good, however,
throughout all the trading and sentiment
seemed bullish. The factors toward In
fiuencing the rise were not numerous, the
nearness Of . signed peace treaty being
the principal one. Southern weather
conditions remained unfavorable for the
bear elements.
In the Eastern belt showers were pre-
dicted and the cloudy conditions that
prevailed In Western sections did mot
mako the down town crowd feel especi-
ally happy. Al times yesterday business
was active TO the extreme, but as the
session grew there was subsequent les
sening in animation. The early rise OF
more than one-half OF q cent was large
ly due to the heavy support OF WAL
Street operations and brokers said to DO
working for japanese tnteresta Pressure
from the South was not particularly I'M
portant
Tho reported heavy spot demand for
immediate shipment abroad was another
the ring feeling. Firmness In the goods
market was commented upon. AZ the
crop outlook Is at present. the bulls seem
favored considerably and unless condi-
lions change, q clear, dry spell being
needed, only q comparatively short crop
can be expected. More that rs per cent.

port soon asserted itself and the trend
was toward higher levels until just fol-
lowing the midday hour. The maximum
