The Thwarting OF a Beautifully
Simple Ideal OF Democracy.

As the regular sessions Of the
Peace Conference begin in Paris one
thought must occur simultaneously to
all Americans interested in the pro-
ceedings there.
How much simpler-how infinitely
simpler would be the dalectical
and political and clinical and ethi-
cal task before President WILSON ms
the self.detcrmned representative Of
his own sclf-determined Fourteen
Points II the United States Senate,
in October last, had enthusiastically
adopted the resolution offered by the
Hon. JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS instead
of burying that momentous proposal
In an obscure plgeonhole Of a COM
mttee room.
Think what would have been the
advantage of President WILSON'S po-
sition could he have presented at the
conference table this blank check of
authority:
Resolved. That the Senate. having
complete and full confidence in the dis
President. indorses and approves what
ever methods he may employ to achieve
the result OF victorious peace and the
establishment OF the principles for
which the United States OF America en-
tered the war and indorses such deter
mination as he shall reach as 20 the
manner best calculated to preserve the
dignity Of the nation ard ts complete
vindication In the contest between the
United States and its associates in the
war between these and the Imperial
German Empire and its allies"
In the last lines of Senator LEWIS
resolution the English is a trifle in
secure, as sometimes happens in the
utterances which flame forth at times
from that superheated brain; but the
thought behind the language was as
crystal clear rs the purpose thereof
was unmlstakable.
With this complete abdication Of
its constitutional powers in the max
ing of treaties binding upon our Gov
eminent, this unqualified surrender
to the Executive of one of the most
important Of the Scnate's functions,
there would indeed have been estab-
lishey1 for the United States n new
ideal of democracy-a simple and
beautiful and easily working demo
cratic government OF one.
And how wonderfully, we repeat.
the Presidents work at Paris would
have been facilitated. No thought Of
what might he done to the treaty by
the TatIfya- power q. Washington
would then have embarrassed him In
formulating and prescribing and en-
acting at Paris any sort Of league
of nations which commended itself
10 his intelligence and enterprise ;
even though the American people
thereby found its Monroe Doctrine
sent to the dogs, an essential part
OF it's sovereignty vested in council
OF foreign Powers. and our republic
tied up in Il debating society with
small peoples who don't think as we
think. don't see as we see, don't rea-
son as we reason.
The Lewis resolution, however, Is
not In President WILSON'S hands at
Paris as the credentials of unlimited
authority. 1t IS yet in It's pigeon
hole at Washington.

Victory Gardening Encouraged.

Victory gardening is to be encour-
aged by every means possible The
United States railroad administration
already has started to spread the mes
sage along many of the lines under ITS
control. Through j. L. Edwards, G-
rector of the agricultural section, the
divisional agents have been instructed
to do what they can to promote the
garden movement throughout the
country. Posters have been sent by
the commission to these agricultural
supervisors in many places throughout
the South. Many railroads in the Unit
ed States last season stimulated gar
dening by furnishing land along rights
of way to their employees, providing
them with garden booklets and putting
up posters in stations and other con-
~spicuous locations. They will do the
same in 1919.

PLAN CITY FROM THE START
~~ .E.sa@~@ r""~A@s
VIII Cost Less and Give Better Re-
suits When Proper Plans Are
Made for the Future.

-E~~~
To have any plans for the whole city
on which all its people may unite is a
great gain. We can hardly conceive of
any citizens starting to build q hOuse
without any plan for the building. But
it nev seems to occur to all the citi-
zens in starting or developing any.
town or city to have a plan worthy Of
that larger home which every town
and city is, on which to lay it out or
build it up. So towns and cities are
built in a go-as-you-please way. They
seem to BIZ thrown together at the
start and u up haphazard as they
grow. Their future seems to be al
ways out of sight and out of mind.
Buildings are crowded together with
out space for sunlight and fresh air
to keep their people well. Scant
spaces if any r left for the chill
dren's play and the peoples recreation,
for thOrOughfares or parks, for resi-
dence purposes reserved from the in
vasion of factories, railway tracks and
yards, much less for any green grass
or flowers or trees. Provisions for
such common decencies, conveniences,
comforts, healthfulness and pleasure
are generally afterthoughtsS which cost
enormously more than to provide them
by planning far ahead. This painless
ness is we'll characterized as "a crazy
quilt"

LOOKING TO CITY's FUTURE
When RemoIding Is in Order, People
Should Profit From Mistakes
Made in the Past.

The city of the future will do more,
control more, and forbid more than the
city of today; and precisely because it
will be larger and more complicated,
its government will have to be organ
lied in q more orderly and compact
fashion. Nearly all the recent char
ter changes concentrate authority, Ell
Their in the hands of the mayor or Of
the s~O-called governing commissions.
1t may be that the city of the future
will become too large and attempt too
much. Some think this point has been
reached already.
. The American cities, flexible in their
methods, should always be free to
adopt any measures, within the limits
of law and justice, that promise to
benefit their inhabitants. A while ago
the fashion was to shrug u shoulders
and turn our backs on the problem of
municipal government. Today we are
beginning to see in the remGiding Of
u cities a great and golden oppor-
tunity.

Planting Nut Trees.

Most farms have a little rough
ground along the bank of a creek, or
some other place, that cannot be cult
Nxried.
Hickory and black walnut timber is
getting scarce and high; and such
trees do we'll in those locations.
If when the ground is soft in the
winter or spring a boy will take a
broom stick and punch a hole here and
there two or three inches deep and
drop in a hickory nut or black walnut
and press down the dirt with his foot,
in q few years those unsightly places
VIII be covered with an attractive
grove, which quite a while later will
he valuable timber.

BANKS TO SAFEGUARD
BONDS AND STAMPS
Are Ready to Protect Securities of
Small Investors Free or For
Nominal Charge.

In buying Liberty Bonds, Victory
Bonds, Thrift and War Savings
Stamps the people of the United
States have done more than perform
a patriotic duty-they have invested
in the soundest securities in the
world, gold obligations of the Unit
ed States of America.
But the safeguarding of these Sc
curities has become a problem for
many folk, Only a few persons, rel
atively, have either a safe in the
house or office, or a safe-deposit box
in the vaults of the bank. Far 30
many patriotic citizens are keeping
bonds and stamps about the house, in
the bureau drawer, under the mat
tress, or on the shelf. And even if
the treasure is thus hidden from
thieves, there is the ever present dan
ger of fire. and the loss of the Honey
invested.
There may be no further call fer
the people at large to subscribe to
huge bond issues, but the govern
ment needs the daily and weekly
sums which come in from the sale
Of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
for taxes must be kept down. The
danger Of loss has deferred some peo-
Pc from getting as many stamps as
they might otherwise buy. Hence the
problem will be a future question as
well as a present one.
Steps have been taken, however, 10
meet this situation.
First, every bond or stamp certih-
cate may be registered with the
Treasury Department. Registration
means that the owners name and the
number of his security have been
registered" by the government, and
that nobody but himself scan pos
sibIy get the money which the bond
or stamp certificate calls for. Ger
tifcates may be registered through
the nearest postoffice; bonds through
the nearest bank.
And the second method for safe
guarding has been provided by the
banks themselves. Every bank-na-
tional bank or savings bank-and ev-
cry trust company has, of course,
ample and secure vaults. For the man
who does not feel that he can afford
to rent a safe deposit box to keep
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps in, many of the banks and
trust companies have announced their
willingness to keep these securities
for him in their WI vaults.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
MADE HOME POSSIBLE
Man Who Suddenly Found Himself
Without Roof Over Head Was Able
to BUY Property.

This true story tells how War Saw
ings Stamps. built a III protection
around one Washington war worker
and his family.
Early in the war savings campaigns
he began a small systematic invest
ment in Thrift Stamps, which ulti-
mately grew until he had an invest
ment of 500. He says he acquired
his stamps without depriving him
self or family: The investment Gust
grew" out of Incidental savings.
Presently this incidental money
became scarce. The wal worker and
his family felt the burden of the war
tire high cost of living, and the AK
iety and expense of extraordinary ILL
ness of the two children. Then an
other E;ow fell. He awoke one morn
:1g tx find that he had no place to
live.
His residence had been sold and
he and his family were asked to a
cate. He could find no houses for
rent within his means, and was con-
fronted with the necessity of leaving
the city or buying a home for his
family. He could not buy without
making a substantial initial pay
nent, and ready funds were SEEM
ingly beyond reach. :.
Then he thought Of his Wax Saw
ings Stamps. He remembered they
were redeemable on ten days notice,
with accrued interest. With the pro-
ceeds of these star~ps and such small
sums rs he could gather he made
first payment on a new hom0 IN the
suburbs. :
Recently he. refused to seu 1t for
$1,000 more than the purchase price
This man is a War Savings Stamp
enthusiast-apd he is on the straight
road to financial independence.

got no increase-he did not even keep

The dollar that succeeds is ener-

compound interest. And they never
fail. Yeur government guarantees
