The Senate on last Friday failed to
ratify the peace treaty and returned
it to President Wilson, thereby com
hitting crime against humanity.
Again the Senate has demonstrated its
inlbecility and lack of craftsmanship.
We are still at war with Germany,
we have lost the great concessions
granted in the Versailles treaty. we
are blocking the return of the world to
normal conditions. The United States
stands before the world today as a
gutter We fought to keep Germany's
iron hand from throttling us along
with the rest of the world and then
the cowardly Senate sneaks out of the
responsibility that we can no longer
escape. 1t throws the treaty question
into the election next fall, which is
absolutely wrong. The constitution
makes it the duty of the Senate to
settle all such questions and does not
provide for the people to vote upon

The United States Senate has at least
five would-be leaders who are very bad
,guessers: Jim Acid Reed and Borealis
Borah are two; and Heinie Cabbage
Ledge is the other three. When the
great Federal Reserve bill was being
considered by Congress, Lodge pre-
Idicted that its enactment would bring
the direct financial troubles to the
country. Nobody ever made a worse
guess than that. The Federal Reserve
law has abolished panics and enabled
the United States to finance the world
during the darkest and most destruct-
i've experience ever known. Lodges
guess on the League of Nations is just
as far wrong. He will stand in history
as one of the most stupid pretenders
on the list.

637 Democrats, mostly business men
not office seekers, assembled in
Louisville last Thursday evening to
reorganize the party in Kentucky
Every county was represented and
there was scarcely an office holder in
the gathering. Homer S. Cummings,
chairman of the, party in the United
States, made a most impressive and
encouraging speech. Also Mrs. Cora
Wilson Stewart delivered one of the
best addresses ever heard by those
present. The State Chairman, Judge
Hardin. announced for the first time
the names of an Administration Com
mittee to have charge of party affairs
until the State convention meets May
18th.

Gov. Morrow has vetoed the bill in
creasing the pay of jurors one dollar

take in doing so. Out of the large in-
crease of income that Kentucky will
have as a result of the new taxation
laws we do not know of more de-
serving place to put some of the mon

Court, trying felony case, paid $3.50

ten times that amount. To be tied up

agreeable a task as most men get in

WILD RUMORS OF NIGHT
RIDERS AND GIN BURNERS

For the past week tales of notices
stuck up or cotton gins in all parts
of Chesterfield County have been cir
culating freely. According to the
tales no gin in the county has cs-
capped. Every gin is said to have been
posted with a sign, in some cases
written in blood and attached to the
gin with match, notifying the owner
TO shut down until higher prices for
cotton are attained, or take the con-
sequences, which the match would
imply, meant burning. 1t was report
ed that som" gins had already been
burned and that others had stopped
operations and had returned ungin-
ned cotton to it's owners. The climax
was reached Wednesday morning
when farmer from a remote corner
Of the county arrived at Chesterfield
and expressed surprise that the gins
were running. 1t had been reported in
his neighborhood that all gins in and
near Chesterfield had either been
destroyed or the owners had shut
down in fear and trembling.
Telephone communication with
gins throughout the county found
them all running to full capacity and
no one had received warning No
one could be found who had seen such
a warning.

DEMOCRATIC DOLLARS

There is great danger of the Re-
publicsns electinR the next President
three weeks hence-and all for the
lack OF Democratic money. Shall Gov
ernor Cox, tho Democratic nominee,
be defeated because the Southern
Democrats refuse to support their
party? The Republicans have the
money-plenty of it. The Democrats
need sufficient funds to meet actual
expenses. An appeal is made that the
Democrats of Chesterfield County
send in their dollars to Treasurer c.
{. Douglass at once. The south will
see some hard times that will be hard
times if the Republicans elect the
next President. 1t ha. been under a
Democratic President that prosperity
has smiled on the southern people.
The following additional subscrip.
tions of one dolalr each have been re-
ceived:
