my Fellow Countrymen:
The treaty of peace has been sign
ed. II it is ratified and acted upon
in full and sincere execution of it's
terms, it will furnish the charter for
a new order of affairs in the world
1t is a severe treaty in the duties and
penalties it imposes upon Germany,
but it is severe only because great
wrongs done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; it imposes moth
ing that Germany cannot do, and she
can regain her rightful standing in
the world by the prompt and honor
able fulfillment of its terms
And it is much more than a treaty
of peace with Germany 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able TO find the way to liberty.
1t ends, once for all, an old and intol-
cradle order under which small
groups Of selfish men could use the
people of great empires to serve their
ambition for power and dominion. 1t
associates the free governments of the
world in permanent league in which
they are pledged to use their united
POnCi " AA11AhIctiA pCcCC ny
ing right and justice. 1t makes inter
national law a reality supported by
imperative sanctions 1t does away
with the right of conquest and rejects
the policy of annexation and substi-
tutes new order under which back
ward nations-populations which have
not yet come to political consciousness
and peoples who are ready for indie
pendence, but not yet quite prepared
to dispense with protection and guild
ance-shall no more be subjected to
the domination and exploitation OF
stronger nation, but shall be put I'M
der the friendly direction and afford
ed the helpful assistance of govern
ments which undertake to be respon-
sible to the opinion of mankind in the
execution of their task by accepting
the direction of the league of nations |
1t recognizes the inalienabIe rights of |
nationality; the rights of minorities |
and the sanctity OF religious belief |
and practice. 1t lays the basis for |
conventions which shall free the COM
mercial intercourse of the world from
unjust and vexatious restrictions and |
for every sort of international coop
GRAFTON that will serve to cleanse the
life of the world and facilitate its
common action in benificent service
OF every kind. 1t furnishes guaran-
tees such as never were given nor
ever contemplated for the fair treat
ment of all who labor at the daily
tasks OF the world.
at is for this reason that I have
spoken of it as a great charter for a
new order OF affairs. There is ground
here for deep satisfaction, universal
reinsurance and confident hope

R Q A D S 4,
A FEW PLAIN FACTS ABOUT
THEM

Attend the road meeting in Mt
Vernon tomorrow and know VIII,
you should be for or against the
20 cts tax. ..t
At the last November election
IS counties voted on the 20 cts
tar. Rockcastle is the only one
that did not carry.
If the 20 cts tax Is voted, the
State gives $500 for every Sr.ot
put up by the county. =
The road tax will be 7octs
whether it is voted or not.
1t does not cost the tax payer q
cent more, so why lose the State
aid.
If Rockcastle wants better roads
or ever expects to have them,
what better proposition can the
people expect.
The rich counties of the state
are willing to pay the tax to build
the roads in paupe- counties like
Rockcasile. If we don't accept
the offer whose fault is IT.?
If by voting the 20 cts tax, the
taxes are TO be raised, we say
vote it down, if not, vote for 1t !
The biggest tax payers of the
county are for the 20 Gets tax.
They are paying all the tax they
want to pay, but this 20 cts does
not hurt them or make their taxes
a penny higher; it will help the
county and therefore they are for
it. ....
