II the treaty shall not have been

FRIDAY. DECEMBER S. 1918.
CONGRESS

Congress on Monday last con-
vened in the regular sixty-sixth
session. This session of Congress
viii pass into history as the most
important since the Civil War,
hence, its proceedings will be
watched by the people with peculiar
interest.
The present session OF Congress
will face many momentous and
grave problems which will require
brains in all that brains mean to
solve most satisfactorily to the in
terests Of the people not only in
this country but throughout the
world. In fact the present session
opens at a critical period from the
fact that it enters upon an after
war period with the treaty prob
lem still to be solved; with the
President still unable to perform
his full duties and with his Cabinet
apparently divided upon the big
issue of the day. Aside from this,
this session opens upon the eve Of a
Presidential election.
These facts are the cause for
grave concern. Besides these con-
siderations, the present Congress
meets with the country facing
strikes of various kinds turbulence
in Mexico; ; necessary railroad legis-
lation to protect carriers after their
release by the government with a
strike threatened among railroad
employees; the high cost of living
the rise of the |. w. w. and other
un-American movements and other
problems of grave and striking i'm
portance.
These problems and many others
that will face Congress are matters
that should be solved with an eye
single to the material welfare OF
the country at large and the bring
ing about normal conditions and
putting an end to the unrest that
now prevails throughout the coun-
try as a consequence Of this war.
The people Of the country will
look to their representatives to be
guided not by political or selfish
motives in solving the great anC
momentous questions that will COME
before Congress but 10 solve then
regardless of their political effect
so that within another year the az
fairs of our nation will move along
quietly and normally.

OF THE SENATE AT NAUGHT.
(From the Portland (Ore.) Ore
gonlan.)

(From the Portland (Ore.) Ore
gonlan.)
Who prevented the eighty sena-
tors who believe in the treaty III
some form from negotiating among
themselves? Mr.. Wilson. The
democrats among the eighty obeyed
HIM like schoolooys unaer the COM
pelllng eye OF the professor. The
two camps must now be freed
from the dictation and influence"
not only "of senators who are OPP
posed 10 the treaty in any form"
out of the president who is opposed
to reservations in any form. Not
only have those senators had en-
tirely too much voice in formulat-
ing the reservations" but the presi-
dent has had entirely too much
voice in rejecting any reservations.
Whatever blame may attach to
the republican senators Is much less
in degree than that to the president
in setting at naught the consutu-
tional functions OF the senate at the
outset. 1t was almost wiped out
by his refusal to let his obedient
followers consider any compromise
until the moderate reservationists
had been driven into the camp OF
the strict reservauonists. Finding
the democrats practically united, the
republicans closed ranks, and the
two parties stood opposed to each
other, though fve-sixths OF their
members wished TO ratify the treaty.
Since the president got them IN
to this position, it deyolves on HIM
10 get them out of it. The only
way out is compromise, and the con-
cessions must come from him. 1t
has been proved that the treaty
cannot be ratified without reserva-
tons. The president and eighty
senators want to ratify it. 1t is up
to Mr.. Wilson TO find reservations
which will enlist support OF sixty
four OF those eighty senators. They
must be such as viii satisfy fully
half Of the republican senator's, for
the president has learned that any
thing which commends itself to his
judgment alone and is accepted
without question by democratic SEN
ators cannot be forced on the re-
publicans. He must be prepared to |
yield far more than would have
sufficed few days ago The mod |
crates had offered to accept the |
very least which would satisfy their
scruples. This having been reject
ed, they have joined the strict res
ervatlonists, being determined to
be fully satisfied.
Some democratic senators in
dulge in tall talk about making the
treaty the chief issue of the presi-
Dental election il it should not be
ratified sooner. They would find
it ! poor issue to win or, for ratifl-
cation can fail only through arbi-
trary refusal of Mr.. Wilson to rec 1
ognize the senate as the equal, Co
ordinate and treaty-making power
with the president, as the constitu-
ton provides. He has scknowl- !

peanuts. Secretary Williford of the
Commercial Club still has several hun

pounds. Peanuts will make well if
planted now, and the talk that it is too
late to put them out is wrong. They
will make you good hay crop and
take the place of cowpeas and soy
beans. Plant them where your cotton
has failed, plant them on every avail
able place on your farm, and be re-
lieved of the expensive necessity of
having to buy feed for your stock this
winter. Cali on Secretary Williford
and secure your seed.

OUR FLAG AND THE FOREIGN
FLAG.

The past two years have quickened
the love of the American for the
American flag and the principles for
which it stands. 1t could not be 9th
ewise. Our best manhood has died
for that flag, and we love it for them
as well as for ourselves.
We do not think that there is any
desire or intention to belittle our flag
or to slight it in the least. Neverthe-
less there seems to be a tendency on
the part of some to be careless in this
respect. Perhaps it is because of ig-
norance. If so, such ones should in
form themselves.
This is the United States of Ameri-
ca. The freedom we enjoy was pur-
chased through blood. and suffering
and the stars and stripes stands for
the highest principles known. There
Is no objection to the use of any for
eign flag in this country under proper
restrictions and conditions. 1t seems
to be matter that is not well I'M
derstood by all. Even some of our
own citizens do not understand the
matter well. Some of us are liable to
be extreme while others are careless
about it. The facts surrounding the
case are that there is no law or regu-
lation against the display of a for
eign flag in this country on special
occasions, provided it is always placed
second to the stars and stripes. That
is, Of course, in peace times when we
are not at war with the country whose
flag is in question. If a foreign flag
is displayed from a public building, a
boat, a flag pole anywhere, it should
be sUrnounted with the American
flag, because this flag represents this
country, and this country is the home
Of Americans. If a building floats a
foreign flag it should also float the
American flag and the American flag
should occupy the place of honor.
We have heard few remarks anent
the display of Greek flags in connec-
ton with the present demonstration of
the Greek church. We have as yet
made no investigation. But we think
it is timely to speak of the matter
merely as a reminder to some who
may be laboring under false i'm
preston. We have heard some re-
marks that were unwarranted, because
they referred to instances where there
was violation of neither law nor reg
ulation. We think it is we'll to inform
ourselves - both Americans and
Gree ks-as to the status of the laws
in this matter before we say or do
anything that might be wrong.

PROTECT THE GAME.

1t is to be hoped that the present
legislature will enact law establish
ing game preserves, or reservations
where game cannot be taken at any
time or under any circumstances. 1t
is also to be desired that fresh water
fish preserves be established with such
restrictions as will preserve such wa
ters FOR the use and benefit of sport
fishing and the immediate needs of
settlers.
When Florida takes the steps neces-
sary to protect her game she will soon
begin to realize the benefit in the WY
of Increased tourist business. People
come here in the winter for rest, ra-
creation and sport. They spend Their
money freely and the state is many
millions of dollars the better for hav-
ing them here. It behooves the state,
therefore, to Go something to protect
the tourist in what he comes for.

sure prosperity.
Advertising anticipates.
Advertising discounts.
Advertising compeIs.
Advertising is the surest, quickest,
and most economical selling force
known to industry today.
The power of an idea multiplied in
millions Of minds moves governments
Or goods-as the case may be.
The department of labor urges more
advertising by merchants and manu-
facturers to insure the present pros
perity of the Nation.
