\ National Referendum

DRESlDENT WILSON has answered the
challenge issued by Senator Lodge that
The issues raised in the treaty OF peace be
submitted to the American people for a YER
diet. He stated in his letter 10 the Jackson
Day banquetcrs that if the Senate should
hhaliy decline to ratify the treaty without
blighting reservations and IL he should be
compelled to withdraw that document, he
would appeal the whole question to the coufi-
Try and abide by Its decision.
This challenge and this candid reply have
resulted in the suggestion that an indepepd-
cnt referendum be called for by Congress:
mat Il date be set within tho near future for
vote Of the American people; that the
machinery for taking such vote be set ND
by the government, and that all the safe.
guards surrounding the casting OF the ordi-
nary election ballot be thrown around tbc
referendum ballot.
by such means, it is argued, the nation
rs whole might express its convictions with
out the complications which surround vote
III national election. 1t is almost limos
siblc for the American voters to record tbcr
views upon single issue when many issues
appear Ill the same platform and when tho
personality OF the candidates upon the tickets
"Hcreu weigh so heavily with both men and
women. But satisfactory as such a refer
endum might be, it could only be carried ont
by agreement on the part of tho orponizo
tons interested. The Constitution. il has
been pointed out provides for no such record
OF sentiment There is now no law. outside
the Constitution, which could be invoked to
that end The whole balloting machinery
would have to be established and probably
financed by the political parties themselves.
Perhaps, after all, it will not be necessary
for the country TO take the ratification or
the rejection OF the peace treaty out OF tho
hands or the Senate 1t is true that the
President is firm in his demand that ratih
cation he brought about without reservations
anC the Senate seems firm in its determine
t'on to enact such reservations. But hone
OF l compromise need not be abandoned until
the last card has been played.

EMBARGO ON WHEAT TO
GALVESTON NOW LIFTED
Had Hindered Market Since August
2nd--Locsl Men Predict Advance
In Price Soon.

Announcements were received in
Clovis Monday that the embargo on
wheat shipments to Galveston, which
has been in effect since August End,
has been removed.
The news was welcomed by local
grain men and farmers throughout
Curry county because the embargo
had done more to hinder the market
than any other factor. Wheat sold
this week for $2.20 per bushel, and
grain buyers are expecting a sub
stancial raise soon.
During the past three weeks grain
had been shipped to larger elevators
and storehouses in Houston, Dallas,
Fort Worth, and other Texas points,
but for the last few days very few
shipments had been made from New
Mexico points.
Since most Of the Curry county
wheat is exported, and since Calves
ton is the chief export point for this
territory, It IS probable that most Of
the wheat in this vicinity will be ship,
ped as fast as cars are available.
