did not modify the July 1 law Prest
Wilson would do so by proclama-

1t was at a hearing before the

SAYS Men Can't Stock Up.
Later. speaking at the capital
meeting, the federation president
said prohibition would affect the
richer and poorer classes in a vastly
different way. the laborer being un-

The working people, he asserted,
were not asking for intoXiCants be-
cause the honest workmen did not
want them. but were only pleading
for "a fair opportunity 10 live our
whole lives" As he spoke Mr..
Gompers held up a small American
flag. 70 which he repeatedly re-
ferred as the symbol of individual
liberty now violated.
Although union officials previ-
ously had estimated more than
1OO,O workers would take part in
the protest, the crowd did not fill
the capitol plaza Among them
were more than 100 women Of the
anti-prohibition league organized in
Baltimore and led by Mrs. h. koon-
ey. of San Francisco who threw the
meeting into mOmentasy tumult
by mounting the speakers table and
shouting that it would take a wom-

in the United States.
in the crowd also were several
hundred delegates 10 the cOnven-

them the resolution adopted by the

Beginning his address with a trib-

it was "deplorable" that under the

Treaty Not Dead

Editorial from the Washington
Star, the leading Republican news
paper of the Capital)
The Senate refuses to ratify the
peace treaty, with or without the
proposed reservations. That deplor.
able result has come at the end of q
prolonged debate, covering many
weeks.
1t is greatly to be regretted that
there was no coming together in the
Senate upon a compromise in terms
Of reservations. There was ample
ground for such a settlement.
Let us hope that the peace treaty
is not dead SO far as agreement with
our allies, in respect to the terms Of
ending the present war is concerned.
Let us hope that these disputants ov-
er the league covenant affecting flu
ture wars will at the regular session
Of Congress so far compromise their
differences, even if the league is left
at first with little power, that we may
make peace with Germany in accord.

The Treaty Assassinated

Editorial from The Baltimore Ev'

The peace treaty, containing the
greatest and most promising effort
ever made by nations in history to
bring about peace and human broth
erhood on earth, has been assassin
ated in the United States from mo-
tives which, in the main, are of the
smallest and most despicable. From
personal envy, malice, wounded van
ity, and for supposed political ad-
vantage the majority Of the Senate
has juggled with the lives and des-
TIMES of unborn millions of plain
people Of this and other countries
and decided to leave them to the
wolves.

The United States a Gutter

Editorial from the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, Republican,
Leaving out of consideration the
question of responsibility-the fact
remains that with the treaty rejected
the United States stands confessed
before the nations of the world as q
gutter.
The treaty has been killed because
q group of Republican senators
thought they saw partisan advantage
in killing it. Lodge and his col
leagues have tried to make political
capital out Of a national crises. The
greatest forward step ever proposed
for the welfare of nations has been
subordinated to party ends.
1t is a sorry situation. The worst
thing about it is that it might have
been avoided.
