Cotton is still jumping up and down
in little jumps, so it may safely be
said that the price is remaining stea.

past few days. The price at the clos

per pound for good middling grade.

is the effect of the course the SEN
ate Of the United States has taken
with regard to the treaty of Yer
sailles.
Germany is beaten, but we are
still at war with her and the old
stage is reset for a repetition of the
old plot. 1t is now ready for the
resumption of the old offensive ani
defensive alliances which made set
tied peace impossible. II is now open
again to every sort Of intrigue The
old spies are free to resume their
former abominable activities. They
are again at liberty to make it i'm
possible for government to be sure
what mischief is being worked
among their own people or what IN
ternational disorders are being form
ed. Without the covenant of the
League Of Nations there may be as
many secret treaties as ever, to de-
stroy the confidence of government

not be questioned. None Of the OBJ

with the President for ratification

to secure within the league after II

them by reservations in the ratifyiny

rejected and we must face the ST.

cure such compromises as may be

mean a delay Of at least IA months

securing a two-thirds majority in

I'VE cannot afford. either as citi-

to share with the Republican party
responsibility for further delay; we
cannot go before the country on the

cannot demand the right to decide

more than twenty billions Of dollars

democracy is the right of the ma

Senator Pomerene

Ratification or the peace treaty, with
or without reservations. and no gov.
eminent ownership of railroads were
the outstanding points Of an address
by Senator Pomerene of Ohio at the
jackson Day dinner.
"Stabilization, not agitation" was de-
clared by the speaker to be the de-
mand of the hour and ratification OF
the treaty to be the first step toward
reaching this condition.

cation" he continued. ''They believe ii
to be the first step toward a world

Pomerent said:

If there ever was substantial senti-

ownership it has disappeared in the
face Of the experiment We have had tn
the last two years.

road unions, was denounced as scheme

country could suggest H.
Detailing hts objections TO govern
ment ownership, Mr.. Pomerene said
such 4 scheme would mean the sale Of
billions in bonds which would depress
other government obligations and
would involve intricate legal questions
between the states and national govern
ment.

cratic and Republican records in legis-
iation, cited rs constructive Democratic
achievements the Federal Reserve Bank
system merchant marine. Federal Trade
Commission. tariff commission and ex-
port trade law. Replying to Republi-
can charges Of extravaganza in the war.
he said:
War itself is extravaganza. Let them
remember that in the war and navy de-
partmenrs commissions were appointed
to aid the Council OF National Defense.
Most of their memberships consisted OF
men of the highest order of ability and
integrity. and if they committed blum
ders let our critics remember that the
most Of them were Republican business

much. someone got too much. And most

efforts should be made at the earliest
possible moment.
"A Democratic party cannot be a

only favor a league of nations but II

delegates and a policy to be pursued
by those delegates. What plan can q

in defence of the right of seif-deter-
mination and in prcclaiming spiri,

I'VE have domestic problems also
which offer an opportunity to render
large service and one objection TO
thrusting the treaty into the congre-
cation that it would divert attention
demanding immediate considera
ton. We are confronted with the or

that the old parties do not meet the

is the enc party that can qualify for
the meeting Of these issues. 1t can

Mrs. Peter Olson

Mrs. Peter Olson, of Cloquet Mimi,
associate member Of the Democratic
National Committee from that state,
speaking tonight at the jackson Day
dinner here said that as the home
has been blessed "by the ideals of
women, the world is now to feel
their influence politically.
1T is safe to conjecture that the
liberal parties of all nations will find
favor with these newly enfranchised
citizens" she said.
Women do not scott at ideals:
they believe in putting ideals into
action.
THE Democratic party calls today
as it did in its beginning, forward
looking men and women into its
ranks. During the war period, when
money was spoken Of in billions,
and Americas armies in millions of
men, the women of America will
never forget that this Democratic ad-
ministration. true to its high ideals.
threw around the army camps every
precaution for clean living for the
soldier, and will never forget that in
toxicating drinks were banished from
American warships
ideals are tested in time Of war
The Democratic party has stood the
test. Its ideals are not that proper
ty rights are supreme, but that
human rights are paramount It has
served all classes The progressive
legislation which the women Of Am
erica desire will find an avenue of
expression through the party which
ever aimed at constructive laws for
the benefit of all.

party in 1920 is not merely a politi-
cal campaign, it is a crusade on be-
