THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.

President Wilson's return to washington
will disclose to him, as it has to everybody
else. that his western trip has made little or
no impression on the United States senate.
His speeches may have convinced many OF
his hearers that the peace treaty as drawn
should be ratified by the senate. They have
not, however, influenced in the least those
senators determined to amend the treaty
and to make reservations.
Mr.. Wilson may or may not be IN as go"d
a position to work for the ratification Of the
treaty as he was before he started west lie
is regarded by opposing senator's at least
"with attempting to bring the influence OF
public opinion to bear on them for the pur-
pose of bending them to his own Will In
other words, he is held by these senators
with exceeding his executive prerogatVes
and with invading senatorial rights" which
largely accounts for the bitterness injected
into the debate during the presidents abb
sence
Possibly the president made mistake in
thinking that by appealing to the people ne
could influence the senate. He certainly en-
ployed extraordinary means and methods.
Everything points to the prospect that the
real fight over the treaty is yet to come.

THE, CURE FOR UNREST.

People who are supporters of the peace
treaty and the league of nations on their
merits are unable to follow the reasoning of
the president when he claims that their rati-
fcation by the United States will stay the
advance of the spirit of unrest which is
sweeping out of Russia and may become a
menace to this country These people be-
| lieve the disorder is national rather than in
| ternational, and that the only way it can Sc
cure a footing in other countries is to per-
nit a domestic condition to exist which gives
its supporters and advocates reasonable
grounds upon which to urge its adoption by
the unthinking. Facts and inevitable deduc-
lions from these facts bear out this pre-
mise
The peace treaty does not attempt to set
tie the internal disturbances in that part of
Russia from which the dangerous unrest
comes In fact, it does not attempt to adj
just any question concerning Russia except
to shut Germany out and place bars against
her attempts to get back.
No peace treaty, even if written by the
combined wisdom and patriotism of the age,
can cure that unrest. 1t is in the minds of
the people, not in the international rela-
tons of the nations. It's cure is in the re-
moval of the causes which justify the I'M
rest among its following. 1t is domestic
problem reachable only by the action of the
nations government The treaty wisely
leaves the adjustment of international reg
ulations among the allies to themselves On
ly in the conquered countries is there an at
tempt to regulate internal affairs. The
peace conference declined to interfere with
British domestic concerns in the case of Ire
land. 1t said nothing about French tariff or
American immigration. These are domestic
concerns to be regulated by the people of
the nations. How, then, can the spread of
unrest in this country be controlled by in
ternational action? Is it not question with
which congress end the president must deal?
What can the British parliament or the
French chamber do to remove the griev-
ances which lie at the bottom of unrest in
America? How can they contribute to the
efforts to 'cut out by the roots" the domes-
tic dsquietude of society? How can any
other nation help to eradicate the radical
ism in this country which seeks to destroy
the government and to setup a soviet regime
in its place?
The evils of unrest will settle themselves
in the course of time. When the mental con-
dition of the public changes from the fever
ed excitement of war and conflict and suffer
ing to the quietude of peace, with its con-
tentment, repose and security, there will
be no place in the public mind where the
seeds of revolution and anarchy can propa-
gate. 1t will require time to bring about
this change.

THE. FAILING LEAF.

1t is well on the way, the decline of the
year The ungathered grasses and other
plants are shrinking and crinkling; the foil
age of the trees is losing its July denseness.
Almost every growing thing is revealing
grayness or the marks of decay. In the
hearts of men fall-time is preparing for it
self a room hung with tints of brown and
drab and gold, reflections from without.
There is a feeling, hard to precisely explain,
that accompanies the change of seasons. 1t
is the impression of the general aspect, and
influences to some degree even the least OBJ
servant, while the true child and pupil of
the physical world is never free of it's charm.

A Remarkable Record.

Washington Reporter: The Dawson News
has reached another mile post, and with this
issue enters its thirty-eighth year. Thirty
four years it has been owned and edited by
the present publisher, record which, per
haps, no other Georgia newspaper has. It
is a safe bet that when Mr.. Rainey finds it
necessary, as he has often done, no doubt, in
the 38 years he has been running The News,
keep the paper up to it's high standard
there is no protest from the people who buy
his advertising space. We congratulate Edi-
for Rainey upon the inestimable good he
is doing Dawson and Terrell county, and
wish him 38 years more of the trials and
pleasures that go with running newspaper

J. T. Boifeuillet in Macon News: Editor
Rainey is not only one of the most faithful
industrious and efficient members of the
prison commission the state has ever had,
but he is the publisher of as fine newspa-
per as there is in the southern country. In
ability, character and independence The
Dawson News has no superior in Georgia
journalism. Don't merely take my word for
it. but get a copy of the paper and see for
yourself The people of the town of Daw-
son and the county of Terrell have often
shown in a public and highly complimentary
way their appreciation of and confidence in

BIRTHDAY BOQUETS.

Wesleyan Christian Advocate: The Daw-
son News passed some days ago its thirty
fourth year of existence under its present
management. 1t is one of our most valued
weekly exchanges, and is by no means shy
of publishing news concerning the churches.
May its worth increase with it's increasing
years. There has been a wonderful improve
ment in the secular weekly papers of this
state during the past few years. And what
they have contributed to the better interests
of the commonwealth cannot be set down in
figures. On most moral questions most of
these papers have stood squarely and bodily
for that which is right.

DISTINCTION, NOT DIFFERENCE.

The discussion of present high prices has
been given new turn by the assertion OF
the hair splitters that the high cost of living
is a misnomer, and that imitation and not
high prices is the trouble against which the
people protest This argument has been ia
ken up by group of bankers. 1t is dis
tinction without difference. The logic is
like that of the Irishman who, when asked
if the fall from the building hurt him, re-
pled that the fall did not, but that sudden
stopping gave him decided shock.
