SENATOR FRANCE is SEIzE7
WITH A PARTISAN SPASM

The Associated Press within the
week reported Senator France. of
Maryland, MY Maryland" as having
been seized with a partisan spasm
and during its virulence gave utter
ance to the following unpatriotic
and maleyOlent utterance:
Washington May Ex-senator
France, Republican. MARYLAND. urged
IN the senate today that congress stay
IN session and "mercilessly strip from
the executive every one OF those enor,
nous powers which ware conferred
for the period of the war"
By denying peace for which the
representatives Of the people have de-
clared," said Senator France. "the
president in effect arrogates 10 HIM.

the power to declare for war"
1t was the kaiser's power to make
war which alone made him an emper-
or instead OF a president" the sen
ator continued. adding that President
Wilson has assumed a like authority
The constitution of the United
States. which our law makers are
sworn to obey. makes it obligatory
upon congress to declare war and
clothes the executive with the power
of negotiating peace.
In pursuance of the sworn duties
imposed upon him by the express
terms of the constitution, the presi-
dent joined with the allies of the
other nations with whom the United
States was associated in the great
struggle and together they formulat-
ed treaty of peace embodying a lea
que to enforce peace, which was ac-
ceptable to all other powers because
in its adoption there was a promise
amounting almost to a certainty of
bringing about and prolonging
throughout the ages universal peace.

Progress moves like an army; it has
its days of training and preparation
its days of conflict and it's days of

lives for America. The day has by
custom been commenorated to the
country's dead. 1t is observed BIZ
those, who were comrades in arms
and who shared with the well renlas,.

war: it is celebrated by the people of
the country generally who take it as
an annual occasion to renew their
loyalty to their country, and to draw
fresh inspiration for the tasks OF
peace from the memory of the sacri.

times OF war. The day is, therefore
filled with both memories of the past

eral Pershing to be at the head of
the American forces in France in or
| der to personally direct their move
ments.
The president returned with the
wonderful document and in pursuance
of his sworn duties submitted it TO
the senate for ratification.
This tale unfolds.
| It's adoption would give the presi-
dent prestige unknown to any other
occupant of the White House, and
there the shoe pinched and political
trouble arose.
The prestige given the president
would reflect upon the democratic
party and would mean the annihila-
ton of the republican party and a
partisan plot was formed to prevent
it.
What were the prevention of wars
and the happiness of the world if the
republican party were to lose its grip
upon the nation!
Congressman Pou, of North Caro-
lima, tells the sickening story in a
speech which we print in this issue
of the Banner.
And what of the league of nations
that Senator France and his fellow
conspirators are attempting to de-
strOy?
An editorial in the May issue of
Current Events says it is an immortal
document
It's far reaching effects is depicted
in the following language:
A Great Idea is born. 1t is here.
IF HIM " hxrf h.
Eternal Will of God, it was brought
forth in the bitter labor-pains of war,
and now lies in the worlds lap, a
lusty infant, sQualling and unclean,
after the immemorial manner of in
fants. yet containing within itself
that power that comes only from the
Almighty-Life.
That Idea, that Infant, that new
born Living Thing, son of Destiny,
slow eventuatiOn of Evolution, is
THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
1T is the one valuable thing the
world got out of the war. 1t is the
only valid excuse God can give for
having allowed this war.
In time it will be worth all it cost.
All the suffering, crime, violence.
hideousness, cruelty and agony of the
war-year will be more than made up
in the final account-books of the Uni
verse, by the peace, prosperity and
JOY that shall come to the race
through the destruction of the Old
Order, with its rival ornaments. in.
stitutiOnalized militarism. race feuds.
dynastic passions, and nationalistic
vanities and by the development of
the sentiment of Humanity, CO-opera-
u0n. Unity, Brotherhood.
The World Idea will swallow up
the Nation Idea and all smaller
Group Ideas, as Moses rod swallowed
up the rods OF the takers.
What the United States Senate
has done or will do with the League
Of Nations makes little difference. 1t
can no more impede the progress and
eventual triumph of the Great Idea
than High School debating society
can stop the procession of the equi-
noxes.
The thing has Destiny in it. To
oppose it is to resemble Mrs. Part
ington's sweeping back the tides of
the sea with her angry broom, or
feist dogs yapping industrious pro
tests against the rising of the moon"
We observe that Senator France
was educated at the University of
Leipzig, Germany and we lear that
his mingling with those super-Huns
left its imprint upon him as glaring
and unhOly as the mark the Almighty
stamped upon the brow OF Cain.

HOW THE CANDIDATES FOR DEL.
EGATE TO THE SAN FRANCIS

Editor Will II. BullOch, of the Mon
ticello News, with cOmmendable zeal
is endeavOring to ascertain how the
candidates for delegate to the San

to the administration of President

He has received answers from some
but not from all the candidates who
are seeking this honor

The following are his conclusions:
My own opinion is that if the San
Francisco Convention endorses the
Treaty without Reservations it need
not nominate a ticket. | favor the
Treaty with Reservations. Both of
our Senators so voted Mar 18th. 1920.

Senator Fletcher of Florida says
the New York American, is due the
credit Of steering the Federal Reserve
legislation successfully through Con-
gress. The Senator was a PIONEER in
the movement. Representing as he

banking laws allowed to fall upon
that most important class which farms
the land and produces the funda-
