Stamina the Treaty.

Official circles in London, Paris ana
Washington regard the treaty as good
as signed, although the German dele
gates will hardly affix their signatures
before next Thursday.
News came yesterday that the ma
tional assembly at Weimar had by a
vote of 237 to 1873 decided to instruct
the delegates Of the nation to sign the
treaty.
Immediately upon the presentation
of the amended treaty as agreed upon
by the council of four, the German
cabinet, headed by Phillip Scheide-
mann, resigned rather than Instruct
the signing Of the treaty. This was not
unexpected as Scheidemann had re-
pSatedly announced that he would not
sign. At the same time 1t was known
that a majority Of the German people
were in a frame Of mind that would
accept any kind Of treaty that would
promise to end the state Of war. The
meaning of that was that II the
Scheidemann cabinet did not want to
sign. 1t must make way for a cabinet
that would sign, and this is what hap
pened.
Upon the resignation of the scheide-
mann cabinet new cabinet was form
ed under the premiership OF Herr
Bauer and the question Of signing was
".
with the result above stated.
It is hardly to be understood now
ever, that the Bauer cabinet is to De
regarded as a permanency. Previous
to the vote on the question OF signing
the assembly gave it vote of 'conf1-
dence, 236 to SO; but there is a feeling
that it's real majority is based on a
very flimsy foundation and that as soon
as the present crisis has been adjusted
or very shortly thereafter Premier
|Scheidemann will be returned to pow
er.
Before the national assembly was
asked to commit itself to vote OF con-
fidence, Herr Bauer made the STATE
ment that the government would sign
the treaty; but without acknowledging
the responsibility Of the German peo-
ple for the war or Of accepting the OBJ
LEGATION to turn over for trial by the
Allies of such German leaders as the
Allies might demand.
It is hardly to be expected that the
treaty will be actually signed before
next Thursday; but the understanding
is that the Allies will not stand for any
more notifications and have in readi-
ness armies aggregating 100000 men,
including 1000 Americans. who will
march into Germany at word from
General Foch.

As to whether the British admiralty

AS to whether the British admiralty
really had any advance information as
to the intention of the Germans to sink
their captured fleet in Scarpa Flow,
can only be a matter of surmise. 1t is
quite possible, however, that the ad-
miralty was not entirely without sus-
picion. OF course different people will
look upon the whole thing in different
ways, but as to whether there Is any
real cause for regret at what has been
done is, to say the least doubtful. Eng
land did not need the ships and she
did not want anybody else to have
them. America cared little or nothing
about having the ships for herself; but
was content enough that England
should not have them. That Germany
should retain them was out of the
question. To many people 1t seemed
that the best possible disposition Of the
ships was to sink them out In the
ocean. In view of all this it is just as
we'll that the ships have been sunk;
but since the sinking is in British ter
ritorial waters and the ships may be
raised by the British If they so desire,
there will need to be some understand
ing about that.

Thinks IL Is a Joke,

This from the Fargo Forum Of Mon
day, June 16, is specimen Of the kind
Of politics some of the newspapers are
practicing in the North Dakota refer
endum campaign:
Senator ]. c. McLaurin. whom Town
ley has brought TO North Dakota
to defend his educational" program,
comes from South Carolina which has
to it's discredit more illiteracy. more
child labor, more ravished women and
more than any other state in the un-
ion," said Tax Commissioner F. E.
Packard today.
TT is quite in keeping with Mr..
Townley's policies that he should go to
one of the most backward states in the
Union for his jazz politicians. South
Carolina is the native habitat Of the
carpet Dagger. It's old-time politicians
find much in common between the car
pet-bag regime of the reconstruction
era which followed the assassination
Of President Lincoln and the recon
struction' days of the present time in
North Dakota. am not surprised
that Senator McLaurin should be found
fully in accord with the league pro-
gram.
Until, however, he clears his own
l.
upon him as a criterion in educational
matters. North Dakota, knowing ever
so little Of South Cardinals illiteracy
as we do, will not be inclined to pat
tern after Senator McLaurin's home
state. II the Townley idea squares
with South Carolina ideals, that
should, and think will be, enough for
North Dakota. Reliable statistics
show that North Dakota has but one
tenth of one per cent OF illlteracy,
while the great state where Senator
McLaurin has done his reforming-and
he has been in politics there a great
many years-has 2S per cent illiteracy
It's child labor laws, If l am correctly
informed, are also among the most
atrocious in the world"
This is q good illustration Of how
few one-sided truths maJ be used with
telling effect in convincing people who
don't know.
Half the population of South Caro-
lima is made up of people who were
slaves until fifty years ago, while the
population of North Dakota is made
I'D of people, who for the most part,
were able to read when they entered
the state.
The vote of the 26th will show how
North Dakota squares with the Town
lev IDEAS" and it will probably show
too that a majority Of North Dakota's
literate people are able to understand
and sympathize with South Carolin-
ian who, to say the least of 1t, is not TO
be included in the 2S per cent of illit-
crates to be found in this state.
That the tax commissioner of North
Dakota really considers Mr.. McLaurn
a carpet-bagger, we don't think for a
moment. But whether he does or not
we are inclined TO think that sooner or
later he will find that the gentleman
from South Carolina is rather more Of
a missionary.

office. while other members Of the
family Of the gentleman from Texas
were sucking pap from government
teats directly or indirectly. After Mr..
Stevenson had wound Mr.. Blanton up
to the point that he would like to sink
through the floor, with everybody
laughing at him, Mr.. Blanton lamely
asked Mr.. Stevenson as to who his prl-
vate secretary was and how much sal
ary he got. my secretary" said Mr..
Stevenson, "is A. Eugene Hutchison,
as wears old, of Rock Hill, S. c. He Is
a good clerk, and a gentleman He
gives all his time to his work and ever
since he has been here have been CIV
ing him s2,400 a year, no part OF which
comes back to me except in the shape
of service for myself and my constitu-
ents." Mr.. Blanton undertook to say
something about the cooter that STICKS
his head out when a coal OF nre Is
placed on it's back. II am the man
that brought in the coal Of fire. said
Mr.. Stevenson. "and the house has
seen the cooter's head" Then contin-
uing he remarked: why it appears
that the gentleman from Texas is a
genuine monopoly. He is clearly IN
violation of the antitrust act and ne
ought to be dissolved under the pro-
visions of the Sherman antitrust act.
Up to the time Mr.. Stevenson waded
in, the Republicans were getting great
fun out of the attacks of the gentle
man from Texas on the Democratic
party; but before Mr.. Stevenson con-
cluded, the Republicans generally had
lost interest in the proceedings. They
saw that the tomtit tactics were re-
ceiying man-size handling and that dio
not suit.

It seems to be settled that the Re-
publicans of congress are going to levy
a heavy duty on potash. The pretext
is that the potash industry was estab-
lished in Nebraska and elsewhere at a
heavy outlay, and it is nothing but
right that the producers be reimburs-
ed. OF course the reimbursing will
have to come out Of raw cotton, and
equally of course the cotton producers
will have to pay it. On the face OF the
proposition, it looks right that II men
put their money. industry and skill in
to the production Of potash to help
fight the war, they ought to be reim-
bursed, especially if they lost anything
The price of potash, however, went to
5000 a ton, and the producers made
big profits on every ton they sold, as
big money as any Of the proflteers have
made out Of anything. Their ENTER
prise" was of value to the government
but of no special value to the
cotton producers. The cotton produc-
ers were forced to discontinue the use
of potash because they could not pay
the price, and they are going to be able
to use very little Of it under the new
situation. The effect of the duty will
be to make potash scarce by making II
high, and giving the producers mo-
nopoly at the expense of the entire
country. II the producers of potash
by artificial processes are entitled to
consideration, of which we arc very
doubtful, it would be far better for the
country as whole to pay them direct
from the treasury. Cotton production
cannot stand the traffic and it will not

From sucb information as the editor


of The Enquirer could pick up in
Washington last Friday, it appeared
that while efw if any Of the numerous
candidates aspiring to the vacancy on
the United States court bench, made
vacant by the death of Judge Johnson,
have relaxed their efforts, the contest
seems to be narrowing down to several
of the strongest leaders. Knowing ones
in Washington are divided in their
Judgment as to the superiority OF the
chances Of Col. E. NJ. Blythe, j. E. Nc
Donald, Speaker T. P. Cothran, and
Mai Henry c. Tillman. For while 1t
was thought that Senator Dial would
take the responsibility and select the
lucky man as it is generally believed
that he has a right to do. but the i'm
preston has been growing of late, that
Senator Dial has taken cold feet and
decided to leave the matter up to the
president without recommendation.
Some believe this and some do not.
Some Of the younger fellows have been
trying to eliminate Mr.. Mcdonald, not
withsIanding his most distinguished
service on the district exemption boad
and his acknowledged vigc on the
ground that he has passed he imag-
mary dead line Of sixty y ars. Mr..
Blythe is known to be a very close
friend Of former Governor Manning,
who is known to have much weight
with the president as to South Caro-
lima appointments, and Major 1illman
has connections and claims that will
undoubtedly hold him in the running
until the appointment is finally dceid-
ed upon. Nobody seems to be looking
for any definite announcements until
after the return Of the president prob
ably about the middle Of next month.
