THE NATIONS HUMILIATION

The republican leaders of the
Senate can not escape RESPONSE
bility for one of the greatest
humiliations ever brought upon
our nation. The republicans have
control of the Senate; they have
spent more time on reservations
than the Peace conference spent
on the treaty; they have denied
the nation the privilege of con-
cluding peace when the other
nations exchanged. ratifications;
they have shamed us before the
world; they have disappointed
the republics called into existence
by our example and have put
this, the greatest of republics. in
the position of being unable to
make treaty. They have car
ried their hostility to the Presi.
dent so far as to deny to our ex-
ecutive the honor, fairly won,
of being the first president of
the League of Nations. Up to
this time the republicans must
bear the blame let not the demo.
Gratis share it by delaying rati-
fication. w. j. BRYAN.

FINE THREADS

1t was Tolstoy who told the
story of the man who went to a
spinner to buy some fine threads.
But the threads the spinner
showed him were not fine enough
for him.
The spinner said. If these
are not fire enough for you, then
here are some others that will
suit you.
And she pointed to a bare
spot. The man declared he could
not see them.
The spinner replied; The
fact that you can not see them
proves that they are very fine; |
can't see them myself"
"The fool was rejolced, and
ordered some more of the same
thread, and paid down the money
for it,
The story might be a satire
on the extravaganza of the pres
ent times" says the Arizona
Star. Flush folks demand the
finest of everything. They scorn
cotton and call for silk. The
moderate-priced article is re-
iected with suspicion because it
doesn't cost enough.
The unnecessary things they
buy are as futile in their useless
ness as the invisible threads,
which, very likely, the vain and
foolish man attempted tospin into
something equivalent to a $50 0silk.
Read the story once more and
think it over. T"

 Suggestions and Recommendations.
 May for the second time suggest that all entries in all departments of this fair, in line with all other large fairs, open for trotting horses and poultry Why not allow all others to exhibit thereby completing the job The time has come when this fair cannot exist by depending upon New London count, alone for it's exhibits, attractions ant patronage.
 Plans should be made to park all au tomobiles inside of the track in sys 1, tematic matter so that there would b no congestion after the fair is oyer, ant enable driving away from the ground at once, without confusion or delay. New and modern toilet arrangements for both men and women should b | made.
 The cattle and horse department should be under the charge of superin 1 tendents who would solicit exhibitors an have general charge of the responsi i bility for same during the fair. l We desire to extend our heartfe | thanks to all of the officers, employe! exhibitors an dothers who cooperate | 50 willingly and enthusiastically toward the success of the .a20 fair.
