the first to go over the top; southern
city, Creenville, S. C. was the first
city to double its quota; the entire

drive.

President Wilson Gone Again

Last Tuesday evening, in New York
City, former President William h:
Taft, rave an address on the legal
aspects of the Peace Treaty and
League of Nations Constitution. He
very effectively gave answer TO he
81 Republican U. S. Senators who have
proclaimed their opposition to the
League of Covenant. The previous
expressions of Senator Knox, Of
PENNSYLVANIA, and Lodge, of Massa-
chusetts, favorable to such a move
ment to stop war, reveals their mo-
tives to be more of political plque ana
envy than that of men OF progressive
and humanitarian principles.
They reveal their old Federallst
spirit of a hundred years ago which
resisted the war Of 1912 and the ex-
pansion of the nation to the north
west. They fail to see that the end
ing of the World War has broken the
entangling European alliances and in
trigues which Washington feared; has
carried the Declaration of lndepen-
d4nce to new nations now forming
from the downfall of old autocratic
dvnasties which must be maintained
bv extending the Monroe Doctrine to
Europe, Asia and Africa and making
these nations secure by a Constitu-
ton of Nations.
Mr.. Taft in his address clearly de-
fines the principles of the Monroe
Doctrine which is designed to protect
the new national lines now being
formed by the Peace Congress as
follows:
"We have seen this in the construc-
ton of the Monroe Doctrine put upon
it by Secretary Seward and President
Roosevelt. The former, when SPAN
attacked Chile and Chile appealed to
the United States to protect it, advised
Spain that under the policy of the
United States it would not interfere
to prevent the punishment by wal OF
an American nation by a non-Amerl-
can nation, provided it did not extend
to a permanent deprivation of its ter
ritory or an overthrow of its soVer-
eighty. President Roosevelt in the
Venezuelan matter also announced
that the Monroe Doctrine did not pre-
vent nations from proceeding by force
to collect their debts, provided oppres-
sive measures were not used which
would deprive the nation of its indie
pendence or territorial integrity"
President Wilson followed Mr.. Taft
with a passionate and spiritual appeal
for League of Nations Covenant
and believed that the people of Amer
lea want it as well as the people of
Europe in order to stop future al
On Wednesday morning President
Wilson left New York on the ship
George Washington for France to re-
sumo his work in completing the
Peace Treaty and the League of Ma
tons Constitution.
He has gone over there and will not
return until it is over, I'VE there.

land must be Free" declared Assem-
blyman McAteer Of Hudson county in
Speaking on the resolution. The reSo-
luton urges the President to use his

dom of Ireland while at the peace CON

Wednesdays daily papers contained
the speeches of former President Taft
and President Wilson on the League
of Nations Covenant. These should be
re-read and preserved as historic doc
uments. Most people have not got
beyond the selfish material considera-
lions of their personal and national
life. These speeches give all a new
vision of world life future, humani-
tartan ARRANGEMENTS. "Where there
is no vision the people perish" said
Solomon, who made the greatest ma
ton up to his day.

65sh Congress adjourned

At noon last Tuesday, March 4th,
the great War Congress passed away
by legal limitations. 1t will rank
as the greatest in the history Of the
nation. No previous Congress had a
higher personal moral standing in
membership. No previous Congress
had greater problems to solve. No
previous Congress ever appropriated
billions of dollars for war expendi-
lures and provided for a great stu
pendous war.
No administration has carried on a
war with less scandal and complaint
as to petty graft among members and
deserving of greater praise. That
Congress was composed as follows:
The House
Speaker-Champ Clark, Missouri.
Majority Leader-Claude Kitchin,
North Carolina.
Minority Leader-James R. Mann,
