opposed President Wilson on the
league, led his ticket, and every can
didate who did not take an irreconcil-
able stand against the Presidents
position ON the treaty was defeated.
0hio-SenatoF Harding, who voted
for reservations, and who said the
treaty never could be accepted with
out reservations, won the presidential
preference vote, and Senator John
son, not an entrant in the contest,
who 10000 votes for his attacks on
the league.
Idaho Senator Borah chosen to
lead the delegation from his state and
preside in the Republican state con-
vcntion for his mastery fight against
the league.
Badgers lndorse La Toilette.
Wisconsin Republicans elected
twenty-six delegates completely dom
mated by Senator La Toilette, one of
the "hi.ter endsrs,' and defeated the
men responsive to Senator Lenroot,
who fought for ''mild" reservations in
the senate.
North Dakota Senator Johnson
carried the state in opposition to the
efforts Of Senator McCumber, who
was willing to take the treaty with
out reservations.
South Dakota - Carried by Gen.
Wood, who favers the league with
reservations, but big vote and sew
cral delegates given to Senator john
son on his "no league" platform.
Georgia-Senator Hoke Smith and
Tom Watson, running in the Demo-
cratic primary, received twice as
many votes as Attorney General Pal
mer, who favored the Wilson league.
Senator Smith stood for reservations
and Watson opposed the league.
Johnson Forces Issue.
These elections clearly show the
trend Of American sentiment on the
league question whenever it has been
an issue. Senator johnson has forced
it as an issue in every state where he
has entered, and the result has been
OVERWHELMING out-pouring of
votes for him whenever he made his
position known.
1t is said that PRESIDENT Wilson still
clings to the idea that the league
must be~made the principal issue in
the coming campaign If this be so,
it would seem from the result already
obtained that the Wilson candidate
on such a platform of adherence to
the league plan will suffer a crushing
defeat in the November election.

"JAIL FOR RENT"
AID. GETS RESULTS
Jail Was Empty. But Clay County
Furnishes Tenant.

In last Sundays issue, The Dis
patch carried short story, entitled,
"Fof Rent, One Jail" At that time
the Lowndes County Bastille was
completely empty. And, had it been
left to the transgressing Of laws by
Lowndes County people, the Jail would
have continued tenantless. But over
in Clay County one j. c. Berry was
arrested on charge Of forgery. He
was placed in the Clay County Jail
to await trial. Berry has but one
arm, and yet under such handicap
he sawed his way out of the Jail and
was just in the act of escaping when
he was discovered. In order to make
sure that the prisoner would be on
hand when wanted, the sheriff of Clay
County sent Berry to Sheriff West for
safe keeping. In the interim, repairs
are being made on the Clay County
Jail. 1t is the same old story. In
the olden days, when you could get
"Four Full Quarts for $780," men
would saturate their interior depart
ments with bad liquor and then fight,
and steal, and rob, and murder; or
they would curse and swear in pub
lie places, or beat their wives, or just
become "drunk and disorderly." But
10, change comes over "the face of
nature" King Alcohol is dethroned
and banished. Being deprived of
booze, the erstwhile drinking men
have sobered up. They are now in a
condition to work. They are too busy
to break the law, too much "at them
selves to fight and curse and do the
rest of the reprehensble things in
the catalogue of crimes. SO the jails
are emptied and are falling into dis
use. And where once the walls OF
heartbroken wives and the cries OF
hungry children were heard there nov
resounds the merry laugh Of happy
folks. When you hear a man inquire
"Will liquor ever come back?" tel
him no.

are finding a way to express them

said:
ITO dominate German science we
must understand it. And to maintain

our literature we must not close our
eyes to foreign literatures, not even

NJ. Poincare said German must be
known by those who undertake the
administration of the occupied regions
and also to restore French to it's prop
err place in Alsace Lorraine.
Army officers recently were urged TO
learn German. The government has
reinstated that language in the Off
