Uncle Sans Children

A timely cartoon was that in a
Philadelphia daily newspaper which
represented Uncle Sam ladling out
Fourth of July soup to his children in
high chairs around the table. The
little democratic national children
were Serbia, Cheko-Slovakia. Hun
gary, Poland and Jugo-Slovakia.
These are the little republics formed
from parts of the empires of Austria,
Germany and Russia. The American
Declaration of independence has been
extended to the peoples of these new
nations and the League of Nations is
to secure their future existence by ex-
tending the Monroe Doctrine which
was announced first to keep the South
American Republics from recovery by
Spain. The League of Nations is to
hinder these little Republics from be-
ing gobbled by Germany and Austria.
Rights of Nationalities, Minorities and
Religions
President Wilson says the Covenant
gives to the people of Europe what
the U. S. Constitution gives.
1T recognizes the i~nalienable rights
of nationality; the rights of minorities,
and the ~sanctity Of religious belief and
practice. 1t lays the basis for V
lions which shall free the commercial
intercourse of the world from unjust
and vexatious restrictions and for
every sort of international co-opera-
ton that will serve to cleanse the life
of the world and facilitate its common
action in beneficent service of every
kind. 1t furnishes guarantees such as
were never given or ven contemplated
for the fair treatment of all who labor
at the daily tasks of the world"
These are the same which were ex-
tended to Porto Rico, Cuba, and the
PHILIPPINES in 1898.

When Congress Makes Steam

The last campaign books revealed
how Congress made many and wonder
full laws for the people. Both great
political parties claimed the credit in
their guides to spell-binders. 1t is
fatuous to say that Congress doesn't
produce results, for when it steams
up-as was particularly the case in
enacting war meaSures-thingS go
by with a hum. But the Congress
sional locomotive is most awfully shy
of collisions with public sentiment,
and the old steam horse has for a long
time been cycling askance the water
powers, the public utilities and the
railroads; and the realization has been
percolating mighty slow that there
is a clear right of way in sight for the
settlement of these problems. How
ever, though the %leavening processes
have been tedious, there has, never
theless, resulted in definiteness of pur-
pose that is encouraging. Out of the
present arrangement there may be
evolved an early solution for many of
these AL problems.
It is recalled that the task OF re-
forming the banking system of the
country was taken up six years ago.
The method of national bank control
was as vascillating and wobbly as
that which has been applied to the rail-
roads for a quarter of a century. But
in the case of the banking system
Congress made steam; partisansllip
was thrown aside, and in a single ses-
sion the Federal Reserve Act has been
passed and had the signature of the
Preside, t.. Our banking system has
si,ce weathered a world war, and en-

King George III and George V

The Declaration of independence
contains no charges against the Eng
Hsh people nor the British Parliament,
who lived in 1776. All the charges are
against King George III, the reigning
sovereign, who was more German than
English. The Declaration says:
The history of the present King OF
Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries of usurpations, all having in
direct object the establishment of an
absolute tyranny over the States"
George v Sends Greetings
London, June 28.-King George has
sent the following message to Presi-
dent Wilson:
ON this glorious hour when the long
struggle of nations for right, justice
and freedom is at last crowned by a
triumphant peace, | greet you, Mr..
President, and the great American
people in the name of Great Britain.
"At a time when fortune seemed to
frown, and the issues of the war
txembled in the balance, the American
people stretched out the hand of fell
lewship to those, who on this side of
the ocean were battling for a righte-
Gus cause. Light and hope at once
shene brighter in our hearts, and a
new day. dawned.
Together we have fought to a
happy end; together we lay down our
arms in proud consciousness of vail
ant deeds nobly done.
Mr.. President, it is On this day one
of our happiest thoughts that the
American and British people, brothers
in arms, will continue forever to be
brothers in peace. United before by
language, traditions, kinship, and
ideals, there has been set upon our
fellowship the sacred seal of common
sacrifice"
(Signed) GEORGE, R. I.
Surely the American people can see
ia this message the greetings of
friendship from a king who is differ
ent from George III, whose soldiers

Methodist Back President

Methodist Minute Men had their
celebration Saturday at the Methodist
Centenary, at Columbus, Ohio. Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels, a Minute
Man of the Methodist Church South,
delivered an address on problems con-
fronting the church. He recommend
ed strongly ratification of the League
of Nations covenant, referring to it as
"the noblest covenant the world has
known, a patriotic sermon on the
mount, adopted by all Allied nations
of every cline and every tongue and
every faith"
Resolutions approving the League of
Nations and the planned unification of
the two branches of the Methodist
Church were adopted at the close OF
the meeting.
President Wilson has taken under
Amusement acceptance of the invita-
ton of centenary officials to spend q
day at the exposition, and will make
his decision known when he arrives in
Washington. Officials said they had
received this word from the President
aboard the George Washington.

Less Whiskey. More Coal

Effect of prohibition in the Potts
vile coal region is evidenced by an al
most total absence of drunkenness and
few if any dodgers in the police sta
tons in this and other mining towns
last week. None of the saloons which
have been closed there opened up their
bars over the Fourth, as was predicted
they would do.
Proprietors said they were not
afraid it was illegal to sell beer, but
they do not see any profit in it at $14
a barrel and paying high wages of bar
tenders and high prices for ice.
Some years ago an orator in lndi-
ana asked what would be done with al
the corn made into whiskey. A pro-
hibitionist said: "Raise more hogs
and less hell"
With less lost time in the coal region
there should be more coal.

President Wilson Returned

President Wilson arrived at Hobok-
en- on the steamship George Washing
ton on Tuesday afternoon after an alb
n of 1877 days and seven months
since he left for Paris to be the leader
of the World in formulating the Peace
Treaty and League of Nations Coven-
ant for the termination of the World
War. His master mind has dominated
the Peace Conference with the Amer
lean principles of democracy and put
not only new ideas but a new policy
in diplomacy.
1t is very difficult for people to adj
iast their minds to the new order OF
affairs now under rapid evolution In
the worlds progress of political and
Christian civilization. Many are hide
bound by historic traditions and poll
tical preiudices. Few can realize how
fast the world of affairs have moved
and how much President Wilson's
open-mindedness and his superior
ability in presenting to the world the
ideas and principles of American de-
mocracy has Influenced the world.
Fifty years from nov it will be seen
that he was the master mind of his
age. that he embodied the philosophy
of Franklin; the ~equaminity of Wash
ington; the resoluteness of Jackson;
the compassion and kind-heartedness
of Lincoln.
When the United States has such a
famous world leader, small and petty
differences that may be found in minor
details should be submerged in the
larger events.

Bryan Rode DRY" Camel

William Jennings Bryan was the
chief figure in a celebration of the
funeral of John Barleycorn at. the
Methodist centenary exposition in
Columbus, Ohio, last week. The
funeral procession was headed by the
former Secretary of State riding a
camel, "the first and original prohibi-
ZIONIST" as DR.. Alonzo Wilson, director
of special events at the exposition,
once termed the animal.
DR.. Wilson's remark is said to have
been responsible for the camel being
the prohibition party's emblem. An
elephant and a donkey, representing
the old line parties also took part in
the parade, which conducted John Bar
leycorn to his last resting place.

400 LONGSHOREMEN
co BACK TO JOBS
Chelsea Pier District Still
Idle and Clerks Used to
Handle Baggage
BY Associated Press

New York, October 27.-Indicating a
desire on the part of some of the strik-
inc. 1ongshoremen to return to work,
army officers here said today that more
than 400 men were at work today on
number of the 200 shipping board
steamers tied up on account of the
strike.
The Chelsea pier district, the docking
place of a majority of the large liners,
was virtually idle, however. and clerks
employed by the White Star line were
again used to handle baggage of pas
sengers on the steamer Cedric, which
arrived today. At the Bush terminals,
Brooklyn, attempt to return TO work on
the part of several hundred men met
resistance by strikers and a riot re-
suited which was productive of a num-
Der of serious injuries before it was
quelled by the police.
Foreign mail tied up in this port
is being moved by army transports,
Maj. Gen. George w. Burr, assistant
chief of staff andN director of traffic
at the port of embarkation, Hoboken,

citation today. The association recently
telegraphed the postoffice departm ent
urging that the accumulated mail be
forwarded abroad on transports.

the mails would be dispatched aboard

ditions made such action necessary"

Plestina Here to Challenge Lewis

Yet, with all knowledge of Kerr great
work, it can be said the youngster was
lucky-eXceptionally so. And if 1t
hadn't been for the carelessness of the
Reds the name of Kerr wouldn't be
chanted with such fulsome' praise.
Kerr, worked in the third game of the
blue ribbon classic, and Kerr whipped
the Reds almost singla-handed. He
pitched a splendid game and time and
again rolled back the attacking Reds.
Then came the sixth struggle, with
the baseball championship of the world
at stake. The Chicago fans banked on
Kerr. They figured the youngster
would again stand the Reds on their
heads But-nothing of the sort hap
pened. The Reds, baffled the first time
solved the delivery of Kerr without
much trouble in his second outing. They
banged his twisters and benders to all
portions of the lot. Kerr, once stun
bling block, had become as easy as the
other Sox hurlers.
HARD HIT
Along about the fifth inning of that
game. those who had been most enthu-
siastic about the pitching of Kerr in his
first start. said: Hes Just as easy as
the rest Gosh aren't they hammering
