part Of those who framed and issued
these documents. And when we take
account of the fact that we have
been constantly piled with promises
of perfectly honest and open handed
dealing in this matter by citizens
occupying the highest positions, of
honor that the nation is capable Of
bestowing. there could be no &C.
casion for surprise that people
should fear the bad effect of such
conduct upon public morals.
There is no desire to delay the
treaty Of peace with Germany one
moment beyond the time necessary
to understand it, but we must have
It, before us in the official form. AS
to the league Of nations, the Ameri-
can public must know just what
they are to- be asked to agree to. BY
that league they are invited to take
the &gravest step ever taken, by the
United States. and no organized
clamor. no manufactured pressure
of any kind will swerve the senate
from its high duty of laying before
the American people exactly what
the league involves and what 1t
means to the United States and to
the future peace Of the world"
This Is decidedly different
quality of music from any that has
been heard in the halls Of congress
for many a day.

Prlvdte Pete McCoy

Private Pete Mccoy, late of Company B.,
10th infantry, is at, home with the folks at
Thomas, KY, wearing a distinguished service
medal for extraordinary heroism near Beliicourt,
France, last September. According to the CT
tation announcement, Private Pete put in one
especially busy day there with these results: En-
countering seven Huns, he, single handed,
killed them all with his bayonet and a hand
grenade, Then he captured four machine gun
nesta and took II prisoners from nearby dug
out. Advancing he found wounded officer,
whom he sent back to the hospital, while he
Continued on the objective"
Private Pete wears fightin' name, and comes
from fightin' state, and it will be conceded
that upon this eventful September day in France
he lived up to his family traditions. Wiping out
seven German soldiers, capturing four machine
gun nests, taking II prisoners and rescuing
wounded officer, may be said without suspicion
Of hattery, to constitute a fair days work for
any soldier, but Private Pete did not stop 1T
that The official statement testifies that hav-
inc accomplished these things, he continued
Oh the objective"
What happened to Mccoy during the re-
mainder of the day is not stated, but it should
be. The record ought to be complete, for there
is no doubt that this was one of the greatest
Individual records made in the American army
Few of our soldiers had the good fortune to
duplicate or excel Private Pete's performance
upon this occasion, but there were 100000 of

The Mclean B1bN

The death by accident Sunday of the "Mc-
Lean baby" in Washington was an incident
which will call out wide sympathy and interest.
There is hardly a home in the country, it is
safe to say, in which there is not q peculiar
interest in the Mclean baby"
From the time of his babyhood, Vinton
Walsh Mclean has been known as the million
aire baby" or the "20O-milon- dollar baby" The
story of the rich gifts at his birth, his cradle of
gold, his magnificent nurseries in five man
sions and the fact that he was heir to the riches
of the late John r Mclean and the late Thomas
F.. Walsh both multi-millionaires, had aroused
great interest in the Mclean baby"
Then, a few years ago, there came the
story of the conspiracy to kdnap the child, and
of the extraordinary precautions to prevent it.
1t was familiar story because every one read
all that the papers printed concerning it and
concerning the Mclean baby" In fact, from
his babyhood, the child had grown to be lad
Of 9 years, underthe public eye.
The end of the romantic story was the
tragedy of Sunday afternoon when the boy, es-
Gaping the eye Of his bodyguard ran into the
highway near the Mclean summer home in
Washington and was run down by a Ford car.
Was there ever 4 more striking and tragic in
stance of the contempt OF fate for all our pre-
cautions? Not all the millions that awaited him,
not all the wealth lavished upon him, not all the
extraordinary safeguards thrown about the boy
to protect him from HARM availed the purpose.
Human nature with infinite pains builds the
house and then it is thrown down about our
ears Our external life is at the sport Of chance
no matter what we,do. 1t is only in respect to
the inner life that we are the masters OF our
fate, the captains of our soul.-Kansas City Star.

When we had gathered the crops the

very, very hard, while Peggy, shut

"Wisherame, wisheramy, may my

For a moment there was silence.
Then a faint stirring in the bushes
caused all three to open their eyes,
There before them stood an aston

brown as polished bronze, CARRIED in

Extension of Enterprise,

A correspondent has asked The Bee cer-
tain pertinent questions in regard to the un-
common activity in promoting various indus
trial undertakings through the selling of stock.
Primarily, this is . healthy sign, as it means a
reasons support this.
For several years the normal development
Of business in the world has been interrupted
by war. Our industries have been turned into
specialized channels, the product of which was
urgently needed for war purposes, but the de-
mand was cut off as suddenly as it was sprung
upon the world Enormous sums Of new capt.
tai were required to finance the war, but the
investment was not permanent, 30 far as the
industry Is concerned. The transitory character
of the enterprise had to be taken into consid-
Grafton, and that made the production of war
material many times more expensive than If it
had been produced under the slow and orderly
processes that govern in times Of peace This
accounts for the high prices to = certain extent.
When the pressure of war had been removed,
athe industrial world found that 1t had mot
grown as it should along the lines Of normal
development The legitimate extension of en-
terprise was several years behind Its natural
program. With the unusual volume of money
in the country, hundreds of millions being un-
employed and seeking investment, the outcome
is great activity in securing capital for the es-
Enlistment Of new undertakings and for the
expansion of those already in existence. This
will account for the feverish endeavorfto sell
securities and stocks.
1t Is perhaps true that some, even many, Of
the promotion schemes are OF speculative ma
ture. The prospective investor has ample op-
portunity, however, to protect himself by ex-
ercise of ordinary prudence. II he is skeptical
at ALL it will be we'll for him to keep out. He
has ready source of reliable information in
the person of his banker, who is skilled in mat
tiers of finance, and will advise him as to any
investment. It is not wise to visit wholesale
condemnation on the effort that is being made
to extend old and set up new industrial ven
lures, for it is but the response of enterprise to
the growing demands of the world.

United States in the Near East.

Not much has been said yet about the pro
posed mandate that will give the United States
oversight of the remnants of Turkey in Asia
and the new kingdom of Armenia. This Is to
be our share Of the white mans burden" as
parcelled out at Paris and Versailles. Just
what it will entail is not yet made plain. To
restore order there, to set up the arts of peace,
to train the half-civlized inhabitants in the
right ways of living, and to preserve the peace
against enmities that have burned for thousands
Of years, is no mean undertaking, even for the
greatest power in the world today.
None of the other manufactures established
by the peace pact carries with it administrative
difficulties Of the kind that will here be encoun-
tered. It will not be political and economic
questions alone with which we will have to deal
but the subtler and more delicate and dangerous
differences that arise from religion. Already a
protest is going up from Mussulman sources
on behalf Of the Turk, whose devotion to Mo-
manned has won for him sympathy among
co-religionists who had cast their political for
tunes on the side of war against Germany.
These ask, and with some propriety, that no
measures be taken that will affect the conquered
in the exercise Of religious rights. To what ex-
tent this will involve territorial and political
rights is yet to be disclosed.
So far as Armenia is concerned, the mandate
amounts to duty to lift up that nation and
make it whole Its pursuance will involve not
only protection to this people in its social and
economic development, but its education along
lines that will enable it to become seif-sustain-
ing, and capable OF defense.
This job resembles what we undertook to do
in the Philippines only in its general outlines.
In detail it will disclose many perplexities, so
that it may vex the nation nightly. However,
if it be finally wished on US as our share under
the League of Nations, we will show the world
again what can be done for backward nations.
