pleasure and privilege Of joining you
and the other loyal Democrats who
are to assemble tonight to celebrate
Jackson Day, and renew their views
of fidelity to the great principles Of
our party, the principles which must
now fulfill the hopes not only Of our
own people but of the world.
"'The United States enjoyed the
spiritual leadership Of the world until
the senate of the United States failed
to ratify the treaty by which the bel
ligerent nations sought to effect the,
settlements for which they had
fought throughout the war. 1t is In
conceivable that at this supreme
crisis, and final turning point In the
international relations Of the whole
world, when the results of the great
war are by no means determined and
are still questionable and dependent
upon events which no man can fore
see or count upon, the United States
should withdraw from the concert OF
progressive and enlightened nations
by. which Germany was defeated and
all similar governments (if the world
be so unhappy as to contain any),
given word of the certain conse-
queDces of any attempt of like iniq-
uity; and yet that is the effect of the
course the senate of the United
States has taken with regard to the
treaty of Versailles. Germany is
beaten. but we are still at war with
her, and the old stage is reset for a
repetition of the old plot. It is now
ready for the resumption Of the old
offensive and defensive alliances
which made settled peace impossible.
1t is now open again to every sort of
intrigue. The old spies are free to
resume their former abominable ac-
tivities. They are again at liberty to
make it impossible for governments
to be sure what mischief is being
worked among their own people, what
internal disorders are being foment-
ed. Without the covenant Of the
league of nations, there may be as
many secret treaties as ever to de-
stroy the confidence of governments
in each other and their validity can
not be questioned. None of the OBJ
jects We professed to be fighting for
has been secured, or can be made GER
tain of without this nations ratifica-
ttion of the treaty, and its entry into
the covenant. This nation entered
the great war to vindicate its own
right and to protect and preserve free
government. It went into the war to
see 1t through to the end and the end
has not come. 1t went into the war

j. S. LEGAL SUCCOR
IN RENT DISPUTES
Department Bureaus May
Be Called by Government
Workers.

Legal departments of government
bureaus will probably be called upon
TO aid government employees in car
rving rent disputes to the District
rent commission under the campaign
inaugurated to collect data as to
rental increases asked of federal
workers.
Such aid will be given free TO the
employees. both before the rent COM
mission and later in any court actions
necessary thus freeing government
workers from the expense involved in
carrying cases to the commission or
later in the courts, under the pro-
cedure now prevailing.
With the collection of rent increase
data affecting government workers
expected to be completed in every de-
partment November l, information
was today that all the cases involv-
ing excessive rentals will be carried
to the rent commission.
1t is understood that the District
rent body is ready to handle the cases
from each department together. taking
up case by case until that branch of the
government is disposed of.
The Department of Justice will be
called upon to direct the necessary
legal work, and the legal depart
ments of each department will per-
sonally handle the individual cases.
At a meeting to be held November
! of the committee of the Chief
Clerks Association. viii CHI is handling
the collection of rental data, it prob
ably will be decided to follow the pro-
cedure outlined above and carry each
case to the rent commission before
submitting complete figures to Con-
gress.

STA TIES, NOT u S.,
GIVE RIGHT TO
VOTE BY MAIL

Discomfort on the part OF many
voters in Washington. because OF
their inability to vote by mail next
month. has caused a mistaken idea'
it is said, on their part, concerning
the reason for their not being al
lowed the privilege. The right to
vote by mail rests with the state
alone. and the federal government
has nothing to do with the various
regulations.
New Jersey, for instance. is one
of nineteen states that allow vot-
ing by mail. Maryland. on the
other hand, does not allow her alb
sent residents to send in their bal
lots through the mail, and this
variance in the laws is good
example of the lack of uniformity
which exists in the various regu-
lations controlling the ballot IN the
various states.
There are said to be hundreds of
voters now in Washington who,
because of high transportation
charges or other reasons, will not
be allowed to vote this year-their
native states forbidding balloting
by mail.
The complete list Of the states in
which votes may be sent through
the mails, as compiled by Henry
NJ. Camp, the republican campaign
manager in the District, are:
Idaho. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kentucky. Massachusetts. Michi-
gan. Minnesota. Montana, New Jer-
ses. New York, North Carolina.
North Dakota, Ohio. Oregon. Ten
nessee, Vermont. Virginia and Wis
conSin.

DENIES TRIP TO GET
GERMANY IN LEAGUE

THE statement irritates me great

so much because it is untrue, but that
it hurts my pride to have such an

or any other nation out of the league.

a mission to kapchatka as to Berlin"

Both for the organization that gives

poor themselves, the high cost of living
has been a troublesome factor in re-

work out of a dollar than can the Sal
vationists. In this country they gave
away 3,699,767 meals in the twelve
