VIII THEY RECORD THE VERDICT

WILL THEY RECORD THE VERDICT
The national sentiment in favor Of
the Peace Treaty, while unrecorded
appears to be no longer subject to
doubt, and the failure of the country's
4 public officials to record the verdict
is, to say the least, lamentable.
Senators Lodge and Hitchcock, the
leaders of the opposing forces in the
Senate. submitted the questions in dis
pute to vote Of the students and
/ teachers Of the colleges and univer-
stiles OF America
OF the 15S,O7S votes taken in 410 in
stitutions, 61,494 favored compro-
mise to permit immediate rati-
hcation, 1922 favored the treaty with
out change. 1870 were in accord
with the Lodge programme, 1888
favored killing the Treaty and the
League, and 6,449 would negotiate a
1 new treaty with Germany. In other
words less than one-tenth favored Bor-
ah and less than one-fifth favored
Lodge. President Wilson'S uncom-
promising stand evoked more support
I than the Lodge and Borah proposals
combined. In fine, nine-tenths of the
voters are in favor OF ratification in
some form and seven-tenths are for
a League more virile than the Foreign
Relations Committee would have it.
The American Federation Of Labor at
its annual meeting in July voted 29,-
600 in favor of covenant and 400
against 1t. At a meeting Of the national
and state officers at Washington on
Dec 1s, 1919. the vote was 240 to 3
In favor Of ratification.

Everett Colby, who has just been
appointed to committee whose some-
what formidable task is to help the
Republicans steer safe course, points
out that his party has been without
a program or policies either domestic
or foreign. With his statement on
that point the country will agree with
Mr.. Colby. 1t is doubtful, however,
whether Senator Lodge or Represent
ative Mondell will concur 1t will be
reflection on their guidance of the
Republican majority in their re-
spective branches OF Congress. The
nearest approach either Of these lead
ers has made to a policy was first to
discover what President Wilson re-
commended or favored and then to OPP
pose it.

(From Ddbuqh Telegraph-H Heraldl
Now that John Rarleycorn has Of;
ficially been pronounced dead, the
best way for the mourners to as
suage their grief is not to let their
thoughts dwell on the departed. Pro-
hibition and the liquor traffic has be-
come part OF the fundamental Ma
tional law. It will not be repealed
easily or quickly II at all One might
as well become reconciied -. the sit-
uation. sTO'4ret over the matter, Or Yet
ones Imagination linger over the mat
ter is productive Of no good. What
should be sought is to speed the COM
ing of the time when the Nation will be
wholly dry and John Barleycorn will
have been forgotten.
There are a few states in the Union
where prohibition was established
many years ago. The young men
there have never seen a saloon and
hardly know what liquor is. It has
no more appeal to them than the Asia
tic indulgences have for the occidental
world. The state Of mind in regard
to alcohol which prevails among the
younger generation in those old pro-
states will eventually be prev
client throughout the United States.
We might as we'll cease to mourn
John Barleycorn and strive to hasten
the coming of forgetfulness.

MR.. MEREDITH GETS CABINET Of
FICE.

Yesterday President Wilson ap
pointed Hon. E. T. Meredith, Secretar.
Of Agriculture. No better selection
could have been made. For many
years Mr.. Meredith has been the pub.
Usher Of Successful Farming, one oi
the largest farm papers in the world
He was the candidate of the Democrats
OF Iowa for Senator in 1914 and fol
Governor in 1916. The writer was on
the ticket, as the Democratic candi.
date for Attorney-General, when MI.
Meredith ran for Senator. and during
that campaign he became well ac-
quainted with Mr.. Meredith, and
learned from personal contact that he
was one Of the big men Of the nation.
Mr. Meredith is well equipped to
deal with the big problems connected
with the farming interests Of the
country. He has been favorite Of
the Presidents for several years, and
his appointment to a cabinet position
is no surprise.
Mr.. Meredith was member Of the
labor mission sent abroad during the
war, Of the excess profits board Of the
treasury department, and OF the public
sroup at the industrial conference last
October. He has been director Of the.
federal reserve bank at Chicago since
its organization and is president Of the
Associated Advertising Clubs Of the
World.

THE RECORD CAN NOT BE CHANG

The record of the American Navy
In helping to win the World War is a
glorious record. It is an established
fact; it is known all over the world; !;
it is a record that is as secure as the
past is secure.
It is well known internationally that
the tide Of battle turned against the
submarines when our navy entered the
conflict; that largely under convoy OF
the American Navy 100000 soldiers
were transported safely across an en-
emy infested ocean And now, after
the war has been won it is despicable
to commence knocking our navy for
partisan purposes.

LOYAL TO WILSON.

One cannot attend Democratic
conference this year without being
impressed by the almost religious ele-
ment in the loyalty Of the Democrats
to the ideals which Woodrow Wilson
has injected into modern statesman
ship.
This was particularly true OF the
conference of Iowa Democrats during
the past week at Des Moines. Re-
publicans may scoff il they want to,
but 1t remains a fact that the spirit OF
idealism which emanates from the
White House and which shocked the
practical statesmen Of Europe when
carried to Paris. has spread among
the rank and file of Democracy until
"a state gathering Of party leaders is
marked by much Of the favor and a
good deal Of the language of relig-
ious revival or an old-time camp meet
ing
Democrats believe that there is a
call for American help that comes
from Europe now, just as real and
Just as urgent as when Lloyd George
and Clemenceau sent 1t across the
seas in Europe's greatest hour OF need
two summers ago and America re-
sponded with 100000 men in June and
July, and turned the tide Of battle
against an almost-victorious foe.
They know that America is the only
solvent nation in the world-or would
be II the financial rules we're laid down
inexorably at the present moment and
every nation compelled to toe the line.
And they hold that her respons-
ibility is no less than her fortune and
her power.
They feel that the United States
senate had been standing, not for re-
servations, but for reputation of
everything that we fought for during
the war and won by its victorious
close. They feel that the spirit of
the country is with them in protest
against the fact that names that were
hallowed by heroic sacrifices during
the war are now the target Of political
sharp-shooters.
They know that President Wilson
brought back treaty from Paris in
which he had wrung concessions from
Europe that Europe never expected to
make. And they know that human

Nc people Of Iowa for not less than
$3.50, 900 for the purposepf establish
ing counmunity centers for Catholic
students at the state collegges--Iowa
City, Ames and Cedar Falls likely will
be promulgated as the result OF a
meeting Of the state officers OF the
Knights of Columbus. It was held at
the West hotel in Sioux City, and was
presided over by Harry J. Nc Farlapd
Of Davenport, State deputy.
At the x. OF G. State convention last
May in Ottumwa the Knights went on
record as favoring a drive for $500, 900
to build and equip normal school for
the teaching Of Sisterhoods Of the state
in connection with the st. Josep's coll
.lege at Dubuque, which is managed by
the Sisters of Charity, B. v. M. Since
that time the plans have changed
somewhat and the Sisters Of Dubuque
now contemplate the erection OF a
service building and the enlargement
of several departments relating to
higher education for Catholic girls and
all others who may wish to enter their
college for professional training at a
probable cost Of $25000O.
1t is now proposed to include the
Dubuque proposition with the plans
of establishing Catholic community
centers at the state institutions and
in going over the matter recently, the
knights who assembled here decided
that minimum of $75O,OOO should be
asked for the Catholics of Iowa
