Paris, Jan. 18.-All is III readiness
for the commencement today of the
Peace Congress- At meeting at
tended by President Wilson and other
leaders of the great powers, the dele
cations which are to sit in the Con-
gress were completed by according
to Belgium and Serbia three delegates
each and two representatives TO the
king of the Hedjas, whose forces IN
the Holy Land so materially aided
the British in overcoming the Turks.
AS meeting the question of the ad-
mission of the press to the confer
ences was also acted upon. 1t was
decided that the newspaper men should
be admitted to the meetings of the
full conferences, but that on neces-
sary occasions the deliberations of
the conference might be held In Sc
cret
1t was determined in reaching this
decision limiting the activities of the
press that while not undertaking the
Importance of public opinion, the pro-
cess of reaching a favorable solution
of the task before the Congress would
be hindered if discussion of every dis
puted question were to open by pub
lie declaration by each delegation of
it's own national point of view.
1t has been tentatively decided that
three representatives of the press
each of the allied and associated pow
ers will be admitted to the confer
ence. The conference probably will
be organized in a manner similar to
the American Congress, with secret
committee meetings to discuss deli
cate questions, with formal open ses-
sions and with executive sessions, as
in the United States Senate.
The proceedings of a peace confer
ence are far more analogous to the
meetings of a cabinet than to those
of a legislature. Nobody has ever
suggested that cabinet meetings
should be held in public, and if they
were so held the work of government
would become impossible. One rea-
son why cabinets are held in private
is in order that differences may be
reconciled and agreements reached be-
fore the stage of publicity is begun.
The essence of the democratic method
is not that the deliberations of a gov
ernment are to be conducted in pub
lie, but that its conclusions be sub
ject to the consideration of a popular
chamber and to free and open dis
cussion on the platform and by this
press.

Cortez Turns Down Light Franchise.

We understand that the town council
of Cortez turned down the lighting
franchise that F. Allan Kermode asked
for. When we read the ordinance set
ting forth the scale of prices we had
an idea that it would not be considered
favorable Ten dollars was the rate
per month for 2OO0- candle power arc
street lights and $l.50 per month for
32-candle incandescent street lights.
At this rate it wouldhave cost Cortez
about $4,000 per month to properly
light her streets. We do not know
whether it is necessary to have 20OO-
candle power light to properly light
the streets for block but we do knt w
that 32-candle power light will not co
it, Dolores has had experience along
that line. There is no man or company
of men that will enter upon an agree
ment to furnish lights for Cortez or
any other small town unless they are
assured of a substantial profit on their
investment. The Town of Cortez
should put in its own lighting plant and
use these profits to pay for the plant
and after that was done use them to
help beautify the town. Plants that
have been tested and tried and proved
to do the work are for sale by local
parties at very moderate prices. We
have electrian right at home that
can install them and the only money
leaving the country would be what was
paid for the plant and the freight on it.

Whorled Milkweed Declared Pest.

That the state authorities recognize
to the stock industry is evidenced by
the fact that the State Entomologist
has declared it pest and that Office is
launching campaign to thoroughly
educate the farmers and stock owners
of the Western Slope as to the danger
from this plant, and as to the most
effective means to be used in its con-
troll.
The readers of this paper will remem-
ber the work done last year in this
county by Mr.. w. L. May of the Colo
RADIO Experiment Station in cooperation
with Mr.. G. P. Newsom, county agent
AS result of the publicity given the
milkweed at that time, and the effect
i've cooperation of the Stock Associa-
tions and Montezuma county in cutting
and burning the milkweed along ditch
banks and driveways, there can be no
doubt that repetition of heavy losses
of previous years was prevented.
Mr.. May is again in this county, and
plans to spend considerable time here
this summer continuing the eradication
experiment begun last year. 1t is ex-
pected that some definite results as to
efficient means of killing the weed will
be obtained and that another year the
Station will be able to advise successful
methods of attack. Enough has been
done to show that it is no child's play
to handle a patch of milkweed, but
that it is case of hard work and
plenty of it.
The experimental end of the work is
being taken care of by the Experiment
Station, but there is another phase of
the problem that demands the attention
of the people of the county. This is
the prevention of the spread of the weed.
This work will depend for its success
upon the interest and cooperation of
the people in the county. Montezuma
has bad case of milkweed, but it is
not as bad as it might be. Near Grand
Junction the alfalfa fields are so badly
infested that some farmers are almost
afraid to feed their hay. A prominent
veterinarian of Grand junction states
that so per cent of his winter practice
is made up of calls on poisoning cases
due to milkweed in the hay. This
county is not in so serious condition.
and cooperative action to pervent seed
ing and spreading will stop such a
condition. If you have milkweed on
your farm, plan to keep it from getting
any farther.
If you are not acquainted with the
milkweed make it your business to get
in touch with someone who is. Mr..
May will be here for some days yet,
your county agent can tell you about
it. If you are in Cortez, make it a
point to see the exhibit in the window
of the Rexall drug store. Mr.. Moffitt
has kindly loaned his window for this
exhibit.
This problem is your problem. This
is America, where each man does his
share on the problems of his COM
munity. Here is a live problem. Are
you doing your share? *x*
