A PARTING WORD
FROM SEN. CAPPER

One the eve of my departure fol-
Washington, for what is to be the
longest absence / have ever spent
away from the home state, am in
spired by what / feel are the oppor-
tunities ahead of me to do what
strongly wish to do for those / repre-
sent. Also / cannot help but be some
what oppressed by the magnitude OF
responsibility the new Congress must
shoulder. l am looking forward to
the hardest years work Of my life and
/ trust have never been counted a
shirker.
First and foremost ! think we all
feel that the boys who entered the
service and made sacrifices SHOULD
have our first attention and every
opportunity a grateful country can
give them. ! shall do my best to see
that they get such backing on every
hand.
The coming session Of Congress has
bigger problems to grapple with than
even a world war, if that is possible.
1t has the shaping of our entire fu-
ture. In my opinion, no Congress
since the first Congress has had or
will have so many vital questions to
settle.
But we have always been a hopeful
striving people. If at first we don't
succeed we try, try again and finally
make it. "The reason America sue
ceeds in almost everything she goes
into," said our great steel-makerI
Schwab, the other day, is because she
is never afraid to try and she tries
with all her might"
Schwab is one of the several "big
business" men who have proved to US
lately that they can see over the top
of the nearest dollar.
In wartime everything is properly
made subservient to maintaining the
army in the field. But during war or
peace we are served by another army
even more vital to our existence, the
army Of producers and workers. All
our national burdens come TO rest at
last on their backs and shoulders. Con-
sequently our great national peril now

American views on tie ,ebipcl y,
deed this project (which lhvplvcn thf
bupremely important question Of ne
advIsabllity Of surrendering, to q GER
tam extent at least, our national SOW
ereignty-has never before been
placed fairly and squarely before the
American people for full and delibsr-
ate discussion and decision; moreover
the Covenant was framed without any
of the "advice and consent" Of the
United States Senate such as IL re
quired by our Federal Constitution
It Is, therefore. Of the greatest i'm
portance that there shall be the ut
most freedom Of discussion on the sub
ject, not only In Washington but
throughout the whole country, before
the Senate talKes final action In the
matter.
The situation Is somewhat eompli'
Gated by the unfortunate fact that II
is sought to railroad the Covenant
through rs rider to the Treaty Of
Peace. The League Of Nations plan
should unquestionably, in all fairness
and decency, have been presented tt
America and the other nations Of the
world as a separate and distinct ques'
tiOn. Perhaps It was felt by those re
sponsible for this situation that the
end justified the means; however thu
plan constitutes q resort to Legislative
|tickery which is unworthy Of minds
capable Of conceiving the exalted plaI
of benevolent international co-opera'
ton, and it is to be hoped that Meth
er the Senate Of the United States mol
the American people will in any way
relax, because of this ill-advised &C
ton of our Paris representatives, theii
efforts to reach a decision in the mat
ter worthy Of themselves and Of thu
confidence which has been reposed II

junction against the county on the

ed yesterday by District Judge Boss.

under the bridge, should it be shown
that Mr.. Cooper has misjudged the
conditions.
