THE PEACE CONFERENCE

The great Inter-Allied Peace Con-
ference met at Paris last Saturday
for the first time. The President Of
France made a short speech Of well
come to the assembled statesmen, and
then upon motion Of President Wood
row Wilson, which was seconded by
Premier David Lloyd George Of
Great Britain, and the Prime Minister
of Italy, George Clemeneeau the
Prime Minister of France was unani-
mously elected chairman. Represent
atives Of more than q score Of nations
were present and recognized as hav-
ing q right to sit at the peace table,
but no Germans were seated. This
does not mean that later in the de-
liberations Of the conference, German
delegates shall not be seated but as
there is no real government in Ger
many such as would justify the Al
lied Nations as recognizing repre-
sentatives who were authorized to
speak for and bind the German peO-
pie. And the same was true Of Rus
sia. In the latter country the Boil
sheviki are in control, but the great
function Of real government is want
ing; there is little or no protection
to life or property in Russia. Boil
shevilism as there shown means
plundering, murder and robbery in the
wholesale. This is not government.
The people owe allegiance to a real
government, and the government
owes protection to property and the
lives and liberty of the citizens.
It is believed that much Of the work
of the Peace Conference will be done
by committees and committee meet
ings will not be public but the formal
meetings of the Peace Conference
will be open for representatives OF
the press.

junction may delay the certificate
Of ratification, it cannot change the
mode of enacting an amendment to
the national constitution.
AS the Dred Scott dicisiOn Of the
U. s. Supreme Court on the slavery
question did not settle slavery in
favor of the slave-trader for any
great length Of time, so we believe
that these court moves will fail to
destroy the sentiment of the nation
against the liquor traffic. The saloon
must 60, the distillery and the brew
cry too, and no power in America can
stop that overwhelming sentiment in
favor of decency and temperance. Lii
quor is outlawed and must go; even
the courts cannot stop it. Like pi-
racy, and slavery the saloon must be
driven from civilization.
Baxter Springs news., 1919-01-24

President Wilson is reported to be
coming home in less than a month
and that after the adjournment OF
Congress on March Fourth will make
a speaking tour of the country and
air his views and listen to the voice
of the people as to what they think
of his attitude in the making Of peace.
That there will be a League Of Ma
tions at the Peace Congress now
seems certain but it will not be as
close q union as some would like to
see. However, a league for Peace en-
tered into by the great leading ma
tions which were united against Ger
many in the war, will be able to main
tain peace or punish the disturber so
that no one nation will ever again
plan for the conquest Of the whole
world. This is what Germany did
and Germany will be made to pay for
her crime. For many years the Ger
many people will bear load OF war
debt and OppObrium such as will for
ever stand an awful warning against
any nation earning the condemnation
of mankind. Whether the Kaiser is
punished or not the men and women
of Germany who committed and up
held the awful crime of beginning
the war and carrying it on so barbar-
ously will suffer and it is right. They
knew better, but, they cast aside all
ideas Of right and justice and now
they must make amends for their
wrong doing. Hundreds of thousands
of innocent inhabitants and many ma
tions have suffered all kinds Of in
humanity at the hands Of Germans,
and all lovers Of right will say let
the Germans restore as far as pos
sible the stolen goods and rebuild the
ruined places in other countries.

TOWN OFFICERS GET
MANY BOOTLEGGERS

Fishermen will tell you that there
are seasons when fish run freely in
the streams and angling brings good
catches. The same must be true of
booze runners and now must be a
running season; either that or the
booze dealers are trying TO get as
much Of their merchandise through
from Joplin to Oklahoma as possible
before the national bone dry law goes
into effect.
Deputy Sheriff Archie Bottom and
Constable Gene Turner have been
making a number Of catches of late.
Friday night Bottom pulled H. B. An
drews, of Miami, and A. B. COtter, of
Joplin, catching each with grips full
of booze. Saturday night Turner
pulled in a couple of bone dry viOlat-
ers, and last night Bottom went out
again and came back with two nice
ones each caught with a large con-
signment of red likker. These men
had their hearing Monday and
will likely join their fellow craftsmen
at Columbus. Bottom and Turner
have a specially good fishing place
at the Frisco station where travellers
from Joplin south have to change
cars. Il isn't hard to spot the guilty
parties as they always are heavily
loaded with suit cases, plainly con-
tanning something heavier than
clothes. Some times the officers spot
more guilty ones than they can take
care of at once and are obliged to let
some of them 60 on their way.

THE PUBLIC SHOULD KNOW

Press dispatches from Paris inform
M that the proceedings Of the Peace
Conference are TO kept secret at least
in part. This in our judgment Is
wrong. But to the credit Of American
delegates and also Of the representa-
tives of the British Empire, they IA
vored publicity. Our President and
also David Lloyd George Of England
have urged at all times the widest
publicity 10 all great national affairs
Il was the severe arraignment Of the
mistakes of the Allies, by Mr.. George,
that led to the Inter-Allied Council
and the appointment Of Marshal FOcn
n supreme Commander, and that
splendid unity Of action which over
threw the barbarOus Huns. Now the
men who fought for freedom on land
and sea and in the air would like 70
know what the politicians are doing
about settling the peace which those
fighters won. Public opinion controls
in the English speaking world and It
Is greatly to be regretted that tne
other nations at the Peace Conference
cannot agree with Us and allow the
representative of the press to be pres
emit at all meetings and report IN full
what will be said and done. Enlight-
ened public opinion demands that
secret diplomacy cease now and for-
ever. and we hope our leaders at
Paris will fight for publicity and
make that fight q winner.

home Of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Hash on south Military avenue,
this city. Death finally came after q
most heroic struggle on the part Of
the sick and despite every possible
effort that had been put forth to over
come the ravages Of the dread pneu-
monia that followed an attack Of in
fiuenZa.
The young lady was bride Of only
a few months, the wife Of Porter
Clark, Jr. She was born in Worth
county, Missouri, October %, 1897.
She came to Baxter Springs with her

There seems to be some confusion
or misunderstanding Of the liquor sta
tus since the various states necessary
TO vote in the Federal Amendment
have done so. The war amendment
gave the President power to cut on
or stop all sales Of booze after July
first, 1919, until such time as demoDi-
lizatiOn Of the troops had been &C
cOmplished, after peace. However.
back in 1917, the two houses had
passed q law putting it up to the IN
dividual states to pass on the matter
of adopting a Federal amendment
which by reason Of what has just
transpired, becomes effective one year
from the date when the necessary
two-thirds ratified It. This now, be-
comes the eighteenth amendment ad-
ded TO the Constitution Of the
United States and by many is cOnsid-
cred to be one of the biggest things
in q national way ever pulled on. 1t
has taken years Of struggle by the

C. E. Burlingame, Of Bartlesville,
Okla, manager of the Baxter Springs
Gas company, has been in the city
for two or three weeks attending to
matters connected with the service.
He says that he gets more optimistic
about Baxter's future every time he
comes here; that is the reason he has
induced the main line company to run
big mains here and also why he has
made extensive improvements in the
Baxter system, by way Of line exten-
sions. Mr.. Burlingaine says that
Baxter now has more lines Of pipe
than Wellington, Kan, a city Of more
than twice the population.
r. F. Hartley says that the Cha

They are now down about 40 feet in

with air cOmplessOrs. They have to
go to a depth Of about go feet and
at the rate they are going ought to
be to the bottom in sixty or seventy

TOWN TOPICS

A couple of Baxter citizens who re-
Gently went down to the Boswell and
McAndrews building on south Mill
tary street, to see how badly it had
settled to cause it to be condemned
and SO hastily vacated. They came
away with the opinion that the scare
was all for nothing; that the building
is not unsafe and is likely to stand,
unless burned, for "a hundred years.
The south wall appears to have set
tied possibly an inch, not more than
that and the front on one side had
settled possibly half inch, enough to
crack plate glass and bend a corner
strip that appears to have been fitted
too tight to begin with. The settling
of the front appears to be in the eye
beam span which possibly is little
too light for the load Of brick and
stone above. Throughout the building
there is no crack noticeable in the
brick walls and only very slight
cracks in the plastered walls, such
cracks as nearly all buildings show
after a seasoning for q while. In all
probability the defects can be easily
remedied The men looked over the
building are not experts, but they
think they would know whether a
building was in danger Of collapse or
not, and would suggest that others
90 and look at this particular case,
for their own satisfaction. It all goes
to show how much injury and how
much inconvenience and oftentimes
sorrow, the circulation Of unfounded
rumors can cause. This comment is
not made to criticise anyone, only to
give the devil his due, that's all.
