FIRST--END The WAR

In the midst of all the noisebeing made over the high cost
of living and the threatened action of the railroad brotherhoods
let us not forgetthat the country is still technically at war with
Germany. The treaty of peace has not yet been ratified by the
United States Senate. Until this is done friendly relations can
not be re-establshed
There is no doubt that the country is facing a serious
economic crisis and i I'll s a matter that should receive the undi-
vided attention of congress, but this cannot be given as long
as the war with a foreign power remains unsettled.
Not only does the delay in ratifying the peace treaty fseri-
ously complieate matters here at home, but it threatens to
bring on an even greater crisis in Europe. If the economic
condition is as bad as we now find it in America, when we
were in the struggle only about a year and a half and where
we experienced none of the lighting with all the devastation
caused thereby, how much greater must be the economic crisis
abroad where the war was going on for nearly five years.
There the people are not only suffering from high prices of
everything, but a great many things some of them the most
very short on food, clothing, coal and materials for the re-
sumption of industry. The people are getting desperate and
only prompt action on our part will prevent dire results. Truly,
it may be said that the senate fddles while Rome burns.
The treaty of peace with its covenant of the League Of Ma
lions has been ratified by Germany and by Great Britain. Spain
is the first neutral nation to make application to join the league.
Everywhere excepting among the Wilson haters in the United
States senate the League of Nations is being accepted as the
one hope Of bringing order out of chaos throughout the world.
The United States senate should ratify the treaty forth
with.

STATE TEACHERS MEETING.

Ten Tennessee State Teachers AS
ISOLATION will meet in Nashville on
January 14th. This meeting is in the
nature of reorganization, the Asso-
citation having been inactive during
the period of the war. The reorgani-
cation of the State Association was
called for by the East Tennessee As
ISOLATION recently in session at Knox
vile, and has the endorsement of the
State Board of Education and the
State Superintendent of Public In
struction.
Superintendent Jesse Hardin, of
Fayetteville, is President of the Asso-
citation and p. L. Harmed, of Clarks-
vile, is Secretary. Speakers of ma
tional reputation appear on the pro-
gram, among this number being the
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation, P. P. Claxon. A reception for
the teachers will be held at the Gov
ernor's mansion.
Concerning the reorganization of
the Association State Superintendent
Albert Williams has made the follow
ms statement:
"For two years, owing to the con-
ditions brought about by the war, the
State Teachers Association has beer
inactive. A reorganization and read
justment of all the affairs of the
world is now imminent. In this read
justment the vital Importance Of the
teaching profession cannot be over
looked. The teachers of Tennessee
feel that the economic, social and re-
| ligious development of the State and
nation will be measured Largely by the
efficiency Of the teacher and the sup
port given public education by the
people. The teachers do not place bet
ter salaries and longer terms as the
only ends to be attained, but they re-
alize that in order that strong men
and women may enter and remain in
the profession, it is necessary that
they be given a living wage. No one
who surveys the educational field can
doubt the loyalty of the teachers and
their unselfish devotion to the good of
humanity. They believe that it is only
necessary that the attention of the
public be called to the States educa-
tional needs, and to this end the
State Teachers Association will di-
rect its efforts"

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
CENSUS PROCLAMATION

Washington, Dec. 14,-The follow
ing proclamation by President Will
son regarding the fourteenth decen-
NAL census which is to be taken be-
ginning January 2, was made public
Saturday by the Census Bureau:
A Proclamation.
Whereas, by the Act of Congress
approved March 8, 1919, the four
teenth decennial census of the United
States is to be taken beginning on the
second day of January, 1920; and
Whereas, correct enumeration of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose of de-
termining the representation of the
several states in the House of Repre-
sentatives; and
Whereas, it is of the utmost impor-
lance to the interests of all the people
of the United States that this census
should be complete and accurate re-
port of the population and resources
of the nation;
Now, therefore, Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do hereby declare and make
known that, under the law aforesaid,
it is the duty of every person to
answer all questions on the census
schedules applying to him and the
family to which he belongs, and to the
farm occupied by him or his family,
and that any person refusing to do
so is subject to penalty.
The sole purpose Of the census is
to secure general statistical informa-
tion regarding the population and re-
sources of the country. and replies are
required from individuals only to per-
nit the compilation of such general
statistics. No person can be harmed
in any way by furnishing the inform
alton required. The census has moth
ing to do with taxation, with military
or jury service, with the compulsion
of school attendance, with the regula-
ton of immigration or with the en-
forcement of any national, state or To-
cal law or ordinance. There need be
no fear that any disclosure will be
made regarding any individual per-
son or his affairs. For the due pro-
lection of the rights and interests of
the person furnishing information
every employee of the Census Bureau
is prohibited, under heavy penalty.
from disclosing any information
which may thus come to his knowl-
edge.
must therefore urge upon all per-
sons to answer promptly, completely
