WORSE THAN NOTHING.

We believe that majority of peo- pie wanted to see the treaty ratified in just the same manner, or Tn muca the same manner as the senate re- ceived it. Those who didn't, wanted to see it ratified with reservations, The business, social and economic life of the United States cried out for action of some sort. Rejection would have been preferable to d deadlock. Final disposal of the document was crying necessity. In stead of taking action one way or the other, the senate spent several months in fighting over the treaty and, seemingly oblivious to the needs of the people, let it go into dead lock at the close of the session, We'd nesday's action on the treaty IS worse than no action at all. We are m for a continuance of high prices and disturbed conditions, and must pay carly for the inefficiency and the criminal disregard of our welfare.

Senate's Failure
 DisappOints France

Paris, Nov. 20.-The adjournment of the United States for the session without ratification of the peace treaty created much surprise in of ficial quarters, as dispatches from Washington had suggested that some compromise was probable. Members of the supreme council withheld comment.
 In French official circles, howev- CT, altho there was disappointment over the senates adjournment with the treaty situation still unsettled, no surprise was expressed. Appar- ently the situation had been discuss ed and measures taken in advance to meet the eventuality, as Foreign Minister Pichol, who presided over the supreme council today, urged that the Versailles treaty be put in- to force not later than December 1.

Says Opposition

 to Treaty's Faults

London, Nov. 2O.-The Manches- ter Guardian, commenting editorial ly upon the American attitude tow ard the peace treaty, says:
 "Whatever the result it is essen- tial for Europe to understand that American opposition is mainly the outcome not of narrow nationalism or lack of imagination and still less political maneuvering. It is rott- ed in the faults of the treaty itself.
 "The covenant was born ln an at mosphere of passion. Many of it's articles are ambiguous, impractical and negotiable. But dominating as the act is, it has behind it in Flu rope not the forces of reaction and imperialism, but the enthusiasm and aspiration of democrats, who see in it basin whereon structure must and will rise, and who count it a disaster if the hand of America is withheld from that york;

LEST WE FORGET!

Dr. von Bethmann-H Hollweg at tempts no defense of what he terms the politically stupid deportation of Belgian civilians. He endeavors, how ever, to exculpate Gen. von Bissing, who, he says, was not in position to stop the deportatons, these hav- ing been determined upon by the military authorities Gas an urgent political necessity" The former chancellor-just now the central fig ure in the washing of German dirty linen which is going on before a committee of the national assembly at Berlin-makes the important ad- mission that the deported Belgians were put to work for which they were not qualified and that they died in large number from cold and ex- posture.
 While the civilized world is wait ing, with as much patience as it can muster, for some evidence of the visiting of personal punshmen nt promised by the peace treaty this tes- timony of Dr. won Bethmann-Holl- veg comes as reminder of one of the blackest of Germany's many black crimes This was the cold blooded and deliberate driving of a large portion of the Belgian popula- tion, civilians and non-combatants, in- to actual slavery. It is one of the things that prevent civilized peoples from contemplating with anything but horror, the possibility of having to extend the hand of brotherhood to the people of Germany.-New York Herald.

YOURSELF AND YOUR MONEY

The Chamber of Commerce cam paign in Pine Bluff seeks to ac- complish two things. The first is to increase the membership of the organization to a thousand or more. The second is to raise, through th's increased membership, $25,00O to S3O,00O with which to carry on an aggressive, modern, city building campaign.
 The first object that the chamber seeks to attain is the more import ant of the two. The second is im- portant-highly so-but without a equality membership" from all busi- nesses, trades and professions, a membership that really wants to help build Pine Bluff, the sum we annual ly spend in making bigger and d better city won't count for much.
 We can't write checks and build q city by doing it. We can't give a certain per cent of our money to community upbuilding, and then sit back and expect it to get results for us. We must give our own personal service. We must put our own in terest, our own energy, behind Pine Bluffs plans for expansion.
 The city needs large annual sum to carry on a campaign for a great CT Pine Bluff. But more than this it needs your interest," your brain your energy, to turn the trick. Your dollars will back up campaign You must lead it.
 We can take big sum of money and do a lot of work for Pine Bluff But we can't make that money pay a fair return unless we put persona service, real cooperation behind it We can take thousand men who are really interested in the growth of tho city and who are willing to lay sel fishness aside and assure the growt! of the city.
 Pine Bluff needs fund to pusf Pine Bluff but Pine Bluff needs team work and enthusiastic effort on tho part of her citizens more than that

Would Tieup Trains.
Railroads also woald be seriously
affected by the strike. for it is known
that in the majority of cases the sup
plies of locomotive fuel would be early
exhausted. This would mean annul-
ages of many necessities. Right up to
the hour of the conference this morn
ing, miners officials reiterated that
they were willing to negotiate with the
operators, but said that the latter had
shown no inclination to discuss the
demands.
For the first time in the history of
the miners wage conference" Acting
President Lewis said, 1.-The operators
have failed to offer a suggestion.
Heretofore we have been able to sit
down and present our side of the con-
troVersy and the operators their pro-
posals, but this time is unique"

Possibility of government operation
of the mines has been advanced by
some of the delegates, who apparently
were receptive to the idea. On the
other hand high officials of the or

said William Green, international sec
retary-treasurer of the miners. Con
scripting men to operate the mines
would avail the government nothing,
as there would not be enough men to
produce much coal"
Every district of the international
organization of the miners was called
upon to send representatives to the
conference today except those of Can
ada.
None telegram received by Lewis be-
fore the meeting said that three thou
sand miners at BickneIl. Ind, in mass
meeting last night, lined up strongly
behind their union leaders and de-
nounced the stand President Wilson
took in his statement.
Shortly before the meeting opened
Lewis reiterated his assertion that
there is no change in the situation so
far as the miners are concerned. He
said there have been no overtures
from the operators and no official
word from the government asking that
the strike call be cancelled.
