Voting on the Treaty.

Votes in the senate by which the Fall
amendments to the Versailles treaty were re-
jected are not conclusive as to the final fate
of that document. 1t is shown that majority
of the senators are not inclined to question
certain of the minor points on which differ
ence might arise. These deal with the restora-
ton Of order in Europe, and the adjustment of
boundary lines, and to this the United States
is in large sense in duty bound. The votes
also indicate that, should the issue be finally
raised, enough to reject the treaty in its en-
tirety can be mustered. At no time has it been
expected that such an event will 6ceur
Senator Smith of Georgia provides the real
explanation of the days proceedings in the
senate, by offering set of of/compromisc reser-
vations, intended to cover all the points raised
by critics, and with hope to unite the several
groups in action to dispose of the treaty. This
was forecasted several days ago, when it was
made clear that the Georgian was not favorable
to accepting the treaty as it was presented by
the president.
Republicans who voted against the Fall
amendments are generally on record as favor
ing some notifications in text and in the
covenant. The record made on Thursday may
console the administration followers but
analysis of it will not give them great en-
couragement. 1t should properly be consid-
cred the clearing away of minor matters, lead
ing up to the greater test that will come when
Shantung, Article X, and~other really vital
points are brought on for determination.

Australia II the old home rule pro-
gram for which John Redmond
fought so many years had been car

now get dominion status like Can

never was in history such a forum

Free Speech in Oklahoma.

Governor Robertson of Oklahoma endorses
the action Of the mob At Admore, where United
States Senator Reed Of Missouri was pelted
by eggs when he undertook to make speech.
The governor justihes this action by asserting
that free speech docs not give any person the
right to villify the president and drag his name
into the mire." A noble sentiment, but is not
the law sufficiently potent in Oklahoma to
protect the presidents good namei Is any dig
nifty added to patriotism by the lawless actions
of unruly citizenss Governor Robertson is un-
doubtedly notable exponent of the democracy
he processes and practices but his views as to
the rights of citizens, their limitations and
observation are peculiar, to put it ever so
mildly. Question now is, What will Oklahoma
do to Senator Gore, who is also opposed to the
presidents plan for a League of Nations!

More Americans Should Own

Somewhere in the heart of every man
is the desire to be INDEPENDENT.
independence is the measure of ones
standing in the community.
The first step along the road to in
dependence is to own ones home. The
man who owns his own home is the
respected, the trusted man in every
community
One Of the largest employers of la
Dor in the country ordered canvass Of
his factories to determine what per
centage of his employees owned their
own homes At the same tine he
urged all employees in the establish
ment to become home owners or home
buyers
Sound logic prompted this action.
The responsible man is the valuable
employee. The HOME OWNER has a
deeper sense of civic pride He is es-
tablished. he is responsible; he is in
terested in everything that tends to-
ward t. peace and security and up
building OF the community.

There is little excuse for a man not

CONGRESS AFFECTED
 BY LABOR DEMONSTRATION

Washington, June 1S-(SpeciaL) )-Irre- spective of the effect on Congress, Wash ington was deeply effected by the demon- stration of organized labor against pro- hibition. Washington still discusses the demonstration
 There were men and women to an es- timated number of 5000, each bearing flags and banners. Each was a member of some labor organization, and all were bronzed and muscular, and determined They came from Massachusetts, Dela- ware, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecti- cut, Maryland, Washington, Virginia and elsewhere. Headed by bands, each of the delegates marched with flags flying upon the Capitol. They formed a solid mass in the plaza From the steps they were addressed by Samuel Gompers and other labor leaders.
 The women in the parade were as deter mined as the men. While the dry" lead CTS cynically remarked that the demon- stration was the cry of depraved appe- tite, others seem to hear the cry of an outraged principle.
 It is probable that Congress will not act respecting the recommendation of the President that wartime prohibition be abandoned. But the President may reach the conclusion that he has the authority in his own right. Gompers told the as! sembled crowd and members of Congress
