of their Sails" they said today. They
regard Taft's suggestions of amend
ment as inspired by President Wilson.
Prepare for a Battle.
They are, therefore, preparing to
battle in the senate to the very end
for coRplete defeat of any league plan
in connection with the peace treaty.
This does not apply to all senators Cp-
posing the present draft of the league
charter, but it does represent the views
OF the most extreme opponents.
Preparations are being made by
west and far west, mass meetings hav-
ing been planned for Chicago, St.
Louis, Kansas City. and many other
points, tho dates are not We. fixed.
Meantime, Chairman Cummings of
the Democratic national committee to-
day further suggested a possible new
political alignment in 1920, urged all
Americans regardless of their old par
ty Affiliations to support President
Wilson in his efforts to secure a
treaty of peace that will make future
wars impossible"
He contrasted the view of Taft with
| that of certain senators. There are
two classes of senators who are un-
friendly to the league" said Cum
mings, those who frankly and openly
oppose it and those who oppose 1t
eovertly. The former, possessing a
CURIOUS KIM OF obstinate courage, are
| bold and defiant in their attitude; the
latter. less courageous but probably
| more adroit, express an unctuous ap-
proval of the idea and confine their
/ objections to the particular plan pro-
posed without, however, offering a
| better of their own. Both classes of
senators have the same object in view
| They desire to make impossible the
/ creation of league of nations. The
difference exists only in the method
of attack"
| Criticizes Lodge Eft Al.
Cummings criticised Senator'S Lodge
| Penrose and Knox in their fight
against the league, declaring they
| have united in a round robin" an
| nouncement only because, first, of a
| settled dislike for President Wilson
and his works, and second by a fixed
| purpose to embarrass the president
| and to weaken his influence at home
and abroad He predicted if they were
successful in their fight, it wouId
| throw the peace conference into con.
fusion, destroy all hope of establish.

rehabilitation indefinitely.
Cummings said that league of ma
tons was the only cure FOR Bolshe

Completion of Treaty Makes

Opponents VIII Try to Change
the Treaty Idea.

Missouri Scion Says League
VIII Not Go Thru.
Say Taft Speeches Are Inspired
by Wilson Ideas.

washington, March 12.-Followiag
word from Paris that the peace treaty
is nearly complete. with many leading
articles contingent upon a league of
nations, the fight raging about the
league took new turn today.
Opponents of the idea will try to
amend out of the treaty application
of the league, if it is embodied in the
peace covenant when it comes up for
ratification. Senator Reed declared to-
day.
At the same time Chairman Cum
n1ings. of the Democratic national
committee, in statement on the sub
ject declared:
The ill-considered talk about a
.peace treaty first and a league of ma
tions afterward is persuasive only
with those who do not understand
the problems involved. Such policy
would postpone an effective league for
generations and it would reduce the
treaty to a mere scrap of paper to
be torn to tatters the moment inter-
national interests came into conflict
with each other"
Reed at it Again.
Senator Reed, speaking for the bit
ter enders'' predicted, however, that
efforts TO make the Sc late SWdllON
the league plan by SO Interviewing If
with the peace settlement that one
cannot be acted upon without the
other, will fail. There is no way, Reed
declared, that the two can be con-
Joined so that it will be impossible to
separate them.
I'VE can ratify the peace treaty as
amended said Reed.
I'VE can amend by striking out OBJ
jectionable clauses, such as that en-
dangering the Monroe doctrine CT
American sovereignty. This will be
done, in my opinion, because within
ninety days, this country will be
ablaze with opposition to the league
Other opposition senators believe the
senate could render the league, as now
proposed. impotent by adding the
peace treaty, if the league were en-
bodied, a provision expressly stating
that nothing herein shall be binding
on the United States if it conflicts,
etc. and then specifying the Monroe
doctrine and other American policies

The old-time moonshine still was
hidden in the woods or mountains,
but the down-to-date article viii prob
ably make it's home in the big city.
Contrary to the popular opinion, it is
more difficult to hide a still in the
mountains than elsewhere. One reason
for this is that in mountain country
revenue officers can climb a peak or
range and spot every smoking CHM
ney for miles. Another is that in the
mountains it is practically impossible
to make moonshine away from run
ming water, and the water will carry
the fumes of the liquor for long dis
tance. Once let the "revenuers" smell
booze while crossing creek or branch
and they will follow the scent to it's
source. Florida pinewoods and
swamps are better adapted for stills
than the mountains. but the forests
of buildings in big cities will prove to
be the best place yet for both manu-
facture and distribution This is part
ly proven by the big still discovered
in Chattanooga the other day, and
which was only found by accident.

III. S. GlaZier, representative from
Manatee county, says that at the en-
suing session of the legislature, he
will introduce a bill fixing the mini
mum wage of public school teachers
at SIS month. We don't think Mr..
Glazier has studied the subject very
closely. It is true that the average
school teacher Is worth S75 a month
and many are worth more, but many
are worth less. At any rate, the leg
islature has no business fixing the
salaries of county school teachers.
That should be left to the county
school boards. If Marion county has
tc pay its teachers minimum of SIS
a month, a number of little country
schools will have to be suspended.
Some of these schools are for white
children in thinly settled localities,
where there are only a few scholars
to school. The only way the school
board can maintain these schools is to
employ teachers who have families or
friends in the neighborhood, with
whom they live or can board at "a low
rate. In many cases, one teacher could
teach two of these schools. if it were
not for the fact that they are miles
apart. Also, there are considerable
number of negro schools, where only
the lower grades are taught, and
where the teachers, so far from be-
ing worth or needing SIS month, are
not worth half the money and can live
comfortably on half of it. A minimum
wage of SIS would make Marion and
many other counties shut number of
their schools and cut down the wages
of the superior teachers in order to
raise the wages of the inferior, or else
add beyond all reason to the tax
rate. Mr.. Glazier and his brother
legislators had better leave the mat
ter of paying teachers salaries to the
county school boards.
