The Greatest Crime Committed Against The Republic Since The Birth
 Of The Nation

There is rejoicing in Germany today that the peace treaty has been killed by the enemies of the American Re public.
 Every enemy of law and order throughout the world is glad that the treaty is rejected.
 Every wretch who during the war covered his pro-Germansm under a camouiiage of applauding the flag and standing erect when the Star Spangled Banner was played is glad today in his heart
 Every anarchist, every I. NV. W. and every false labor leader who Is German first and American next is glad at what has taken place. The profteers rejoice, the crooked ammunition makers and those who robbed the government ill theving contracts are glad.
 The failure to ratify the treaty is a bid for world chaos. Lloyd George said that another world war would de- stroy the civilization of the world The anarchists and the 1. W " will be glad at this prospect, because they are enemies of this civilization. The profiteers and the interruptions money gamblers will be glad because they will have a heightened season in which to loot and to pillage.
 "Wednesday was d day of triumph for Germany England and France alone are hardly strong enough to bring about peace and order in Europe. They cannot protect the young nations which are scarcely able to stand on their feet.
 Italy is boiling under a wild Imper alism which is running neck and neck with Bolsheyism towards destruction.
 The German people are the most dis ciplined in Europe. They have a sense of order above other Europeans. They can now penetrate Poland and infiltrate their ideas throughout Russia In five ' ' Poland, they will overthrow Bohemia and draw to themselves the Austrians and Huns. Profiting by the mistakes of the past, they will successfully drive toward the east; then, turning, will oyorwhelm the west Either this in Middle Europe or chaos.
 What of ourselves?
 For twelve months the Senate of the United States has been quarreling and arguing over the consequences of the war.
 Before the echoes of the last gun-fire ceased the Senators were criticising and fault finding. Before the President went to Europe they had begun fu- rious attack of what took place yester- day After the President returned there was another campaign of maley- olence
 In this whole year the senators passed not one law of benefit to America. They ignored every domestic problem They did nothing towards either taking over the railroads of the United States or returning them to their owners. They adopted no legislation as to a future military program. They let the magnificent military machine. created by America, rust, rot and disintegrate, and equo pede they sought to creae a condition that is & bid for war.
 The rejection of the treaty is notice to the world that, so far as we are con- cerned, the work of killing and destruc tion can be resumed.
 During the war and afterwards prices mounted sky high. There was unequal led conditions in the labor field and, yet, no immediate legislation was under taken these twelve months.
 The United States today is in as bad a condition as to fuel as was Germany on Nov. 10, 1918, and yet the Senate, night before last. scuttled and ran, leav ing all problems in the air until the De cember session.
 People wondered why it was that both parties adjourned. They ad journed so as to get that mileage home and back and other perquisites that go a,,.b o1iourp,papf
