The people of democratic countries all syrnpathize with the
downtrodden in all lands who are seeking political freedom and
national autonomy, but there are many discouraging features in
the way. Paderewskis country, Poland, for instance, is carry
ing on a terrible slaughter of Jews, young and old, and of both
sexes, and no voice is raised in protest.
The unfortunate peasants of Hungary. driven to despair,
tried to defend themselves, armed with scythes, axes and clubs.
but the machine guns Of the Reds moved them down, killing
5000 in one day, and destroying 81 villages. The Ukrainians
are numbering the Jews because, they say, they are Bolshevki,
and in Russia these same people are being murdered because
they are OF the bourgeose or capitaistic class So all through
these countries, that are in ferment and struggling for reCogni-
ton and existence, this slaughter and bloodetting continues
today, while the peace conference is in session. In Petrograd a
lazy, numbering, peasant Bolshevik, bearded like the pard, and
possessing about as much intelligence as a porcupine, will start
down the street with a rifle and fixed bayonet in his hand.
He remarks casually to those he meets: Let us kill the Jews
and make Petrograd safe for Russians" Others follow him, and
the pogrom is on, Children become frightened and run hiher
and thither screaming, which is very unpleasant to the sensitive
ears of the %Bolshevist, and he runs them through viii his
bayonet. Then the mothers Of these children have the bad taste
to add to the turmoil by waiing over their dead children, and
they also are silenced with the bayonet.
Entomologists say that there are certain insects that can
sting only once, When they expel their poison they exhaust
themselves and die. 1t is the same with death, which can sting
but once.
Shakespeare's Incompatible l46th sonnet concludes; "Wben
death is dead, there's no more dying then" The victims of
these bloody outrages are forever afterward safe and ;r,m,,,o
Death has done its worst, and can do no more, But Il we have

SELFISH PATRIOTS

Anyone who assumes that the senate is proceeding in an
orderly manner with the consideration of the terms of the treaty
OF peace must have a mistaken idea of the functions of the senate
IN such matters as provided in the constitution.
The power Of the senate is limited to the ratification or rciec-
un OF a treaty. 1T has no part, and was not intended to have
any, in the negotiations. Other wise the senate would have been
invited, or upon its own motion would have elected, to appear at
the conference and formulate the treaty.
The more we hear of the arguments in the congress the more
convinced we are OF the wisdom of the trainers of the constitu-
ton in safeguarding such delicate matters from the vaccinations
of politicians.
There Is every evidence of the who1ehearted support of the
people OF this country Of the treaty and Of the league Of nations.
But the sentiment Of the people does not always prevail in the
legislative bodies of the state or nation. A few men with selfish
ends to serve have been known to successfully defy the will Of
the people, and under our form of government, with represent
atives and senators elected for a given length of time, it is posi-
Bile to do so for their term of office.
The present agitation presents two Spectacles from which the
people not intimately in touch with the situation may form their
conclusions. The first is in Paris with Lloyd George, Clemen-
ceau, Wilson and Orlando, They prepared the treaty; they pre-
pared the league of nations; they worked in the interest of the
future peace and tranquility of the world. They were familiar
with all the problems that confronted the different nations and
the different peoples and by making compromises and concessions
finally, we are told arrived at an understanding on matters in
which of necessity there must have been much controversy and
many conflicting interests,
The second spectacle is in Washington. The senate goes out
side its province to consider a matter that is not before it and can
not be until it is formally transmitted for ratification. Party lines
have been drawn. The Republicans are seeking an advantage.
They are more concerned with the election Of some candidate than
they are in the future peace of the United States.
From which of these two bodies will the people Of this coun-
try accept the plea of unselfsh patriotism2

fight against Representative Hubert
Fisher, who comes up for reelection
to the congress in November.
Gen. Calhoun declared that he had no
political association with that bunch"
and he thought furthermore that it was
about time the people Of the South were
standing together for their own inter-
ests as the people of other sections are
disposed to do.
Gen. Calhoun is a supporter of Pres
ident Wilson and regards him as God
A~lmighty's W servant, ordained to
bring peace to the world n to see
that democracy does not perish from
the earth" He is one Of Representa-
tive Fishers strongest friends and
greatest admirers and was scarcely less
outraged by the suggestion that he
would have a part in undertaking to
defeat him than he was in the report
OF his association with Quinn and other
professional Republican politicians.

He is C. r. Curtis. of the Homer X.

1t Is understood that the auditor will
make daily reports to John M. Dean,
chairman of the tax-probing commit
tee. These reports will coveh matters
which the committee previously has
asked him to dig out Of the city's
books.
Pay rolls will be probed. Compare
sons will be made with pay rolls of 9TH
err years. Where a material difference
exists the tax probers will investigate.
They will attempt to find why more
money Ia needed In certain depart
ments than formerly was spent there.
They will seek to ascertain whether or
not more men are on the a rolls than
are necessary to do ceretain required
work,
When the probe Is completed they
will make recommendations that Ger.
tain curtailments be made In city de-
partments, provided they find that any
waste Is being tolerated. They expect
these recommendations to be followed
out, and II they point the way to any
considerable saving, they expect the
tax rate to be cut from the proposed
figure OF $220.
