We have discussed the Treaty and
the League of Nations more than once
in these columns, so that our views
on this deeply important subject are
known, and we have no desire to- re-
peat the argument. We venture, now
ever, to record our earnest belief that
the failure Of the Senate to ratify
these solemn agreements, to which our
representatives at the Paris Confer
ence placed their signatures, is a ca
lamity for the world and an injury to
the United States. The defeat of the
Treaty by the Senate is due in part
to PETTY politics, that is, the desire to
discipline the President and destroy
his work at Paris. In large measure,
this opposition to the Presidents pol
icy springs from his ill-adyised letter
before the congressional election OF
1918 and his failure to consult with
the best men of both our political par
ties. 1t is due also to narrow mind
ed notion of detaching the, United
States from international complica--
tions in Europe, as If this were not
now proved to be impossible. In con-
sequence of the assassination OF an
Austrian archduke in Bosnian vii
lage we had to send two million SOL
diers to Europe and spend twenty-five
billion dollars in preparing for war
fare. No reason exists for believing
that we can keep out of the next big
war, for, in future, unless some inter
national organization exists for post
ponement and deliberation, we shall
again be drawn, against our will, into
the great conflagration. The progress
of science has killed our isolation;
we are nearer to Europe today than
Europe was 10 England in Napoleon's
day. Now conditions call for q new
adjustment. We have hopes still that
the Senate, after adjournment, ! will
take q broader view Of tho issue and

HUNDREDS OF CASES

CHARGE

The st Louis Specialists are reput-
able, licensed physicians. They are
specialists in the treatment of certain
diseases. They treat without surgi-
cal operations diseases of all internal
organs, stomach, intcgtines, constipa-
ton, piles, liver, spleen, heart, nerves,
skin, rheumatism, scatica, goitre, leg
ulcers end all long standing, deep
seated diseases. Many years expe-
rience.
Many people suffer from disease
that cannot be alleviated just because
they cannot afford to go to high
priced specialists and hospitals at a
long distance from their home. No
community has a sufficient number
suffering from these diseases to sup
port special hospitals for their treat
mcnt and cure.
The St. Louis Specialists have
solved the problem. Their highly
trained specialists go to each COM
munity and will advise a proper
course of treatment for the sufferers
and instruct them how to take care of
themselves at home. No matter what
you have been told or what experience
you have had with other physicians,
consult this Specialist on his visit. 1t
costs nothing-if your case is incur
able, he will give you advice which
may stay and relieve the disease

WOULD FILL EVERY
REQUIREMENT

Now that the time has arrived when
different men are being mentioned
for various offices, and perhaps Their
qualifications for the duties OF the Of
flee they are being urged for are be-
ing more or less discussed, The Times
desires to speak a few words in re-
gard to a man who has been frequent
" and favorably mentioned for the Of.
flee of Chief Magistrate of Missouri
Hon. George H. Moore. g,
Mr., Moore is at present Internal
Revenue Collector, with headquarters
in St. Louis. In this most important
office he has "made good abundantly,
even during the late troublesome war
period, when the exacting duties OF
that office YVES often calculated to try
q mans soul. In times like those so
recently passed through, there were
doubtless many opportunities Tor the
exercise of favoritism in the Office OF
Internal Revenue Collector. Yet,
never has there been the breath of
suspicion directed toward Geo. H.
Moore in that or any other regard.
While he has always hewed close to
the line in official matters, The Times
editor knows no one who enjoys and
appreciates good friends more than
does George Moore; nor do we know OF
anyone who has more loyal and true
friends in all parts Of the State. His
is a disposition and nature that nat
urally attracts men to him; a man OF
strong and pronounced convictions, ana
yet trespassing on no one unproyoked
To know him is to love him. lie IS.
while richly endowed in learning and
in many personal charactistics, Just a
plain, old-fashioned Democrat, which
are in these days becoming constantly
more scarce.
While George Moore has resided IN
st. Louis for number Of years, nc
is not a city man, either by birth or
training. He was born and reared IN
the pure country atmosphere, which IS
almost an essential in the rearing, CT
full-blooded, manly men, of which he
is such a striking type. He was borr
and grew up in Lewis county, TINS
State, where his grandparents are
buried. His parents now live In Boone
county. George graduated from thi
law department of the State Univer
sity, moving to st. Louis where he sue
cessfully engaged in practice until ht
was appointed Collector of lnterna
Revenue.
His many warm and excellen
friends, in every part of the State, arr
bringing the strongest kind OF pres
sure to bear upon him to become
candidate for the Democratic nomina
ton for Governor at the next election
Their principal claim is that there
not a man in the State that could en-
ter that race with a larger persona
following Of real working Democrat
at his back than has George Moore
Then, too, the fact that he has TO
years been a tireless and RELENTLESS
worker for Democratic success in ev
cry campaign, placing his time an
his talents at his party's command, in
dicates that he would be no less zeal
Gus in an election where his nam
headed the ticket. With such MAJ
carrying the party Banner, there is n
reason to believe that there would b
a single sluggard in the Democratic
ranks, but that all would be "up in tn
collar" to elect this "Old-fashione
Democrat" Governor of Grand old Mis-
souri,, by an old-fashioned Democrati
majority.

While 0. L. Munger, of Piedmont,
was attending court here this week,
he was asked by different Democrats
as to whether or not he would be in
the race for the nomination to Con-
gress at the coming primary. He was
rather evasive, but said that in view Of
the fact that the 18th District is now
represented by Republican, that in
his opinion leading Democrats should
take an interest in the selection of a
candidate, looking alone to the ques-
tions of efficiency and integrity. He
further said that no man could afford
to make two hard campaigns and that
a hard fight within party lines would
almost insure certain defeat at the
poles.

CHILD WELFARE WORK.

DERMANENT Eugenic and Child Welfare quarters are
to be opened this week by the Salem branch of the
Oregon Congress Of Mothers with the purpose of pro-
vdng free physical examination of babies and children
brought to the clinic Eminent specialists have voun-
teered their services that parents will receive the same
opportunities afforded in the larger cities
Any child between five months and six years OF age
may be brought to the clinic and expert examination be
given for teeth eye ear nose throat and other trouble
incident to childhood The physicians specialists dent
lists and Of the community have offered the heart
lest cooperation
Many Of the minor diseases Of chcildhood if neglect
ed seriously interfere with the growth and health Prompt
and skillful treatment effects permanent Many
Of the little handicapped by physical ailments
unsupported by their parents and examination will dis
close them Every parent should take advantage of the
welfare clinic.
In this connection, effort should be launched to
secure for Marion county public nurse whose duty is to
for the sick and neglected among the poor give lee
lures upon hygiene in the public schools and give physical
examinations to students In the latter she should have
the cooperation of local physicians and specialists She
would work under auspices of the Congress of Mothers
local Red Cross chapter and state society for the
on of tuberculosis and her salary and expenses be der
ed by the county.
Nearly every progressive community in the country
has such nurses and they do world of good No money
can be better expended expended in better
than for this real welfare work In Oregon Multnomah
Jackson Coos and Lane county have public nurses and
Marion county should not lag behind.
