The treaty's defeat is a tragedy
whose poignancf is intensified by
the sordidness of the final scene.
The country beholds the President
wrecking great undertaking for
no better reason than because he
was not allowed to ignore the Con-
stitution, The country beholds him
assisted by a group of Senators who
became infected with his narrow
ness and thus were unable to lift
themselves to levels of statesman
ship.
The covenant, an ill-omened and
stilted word that savors of hyp9-
chisy, was not great document.
But it related to noble ideal, and
at least was gesture in favor of
peace and better ordered world.
Americans will not be proud of the
fact that for the first tine In our
national history we have not Joined
in an undertaking which pointed to
better days.
But from the beginning there was
little chance. The inefficiency and
self-sutficiency of our only negotia-
tor created a bedeyilment whose

the final hour, completing his dis
service, he was able to command
enough Senators to drive a knife
into the heart OF his own work.

The commission declares that its in

farmers for implements advanced Is

the increase coming ia 1917 and 1918.
This increase. the commission asserts.

The dominating position OF the In.

steel making business of the company
which furnishes il either with large

THE division of the business OF tht

to divide effectively the harvesting ma

the steel business. To make any such
division of the harvesting machin,
line effective in restoring competition
il would be absolutely essential to sep

THE BRUNO FAIR

The Community Fair held
Tuesday was a success in every
way. The fancy work exhibit
was thought to have been the
largest ever shown in the county
at any fair and also the curious
and ancientsarticles was a very
rare collection. The vegetables
and fruit display was good but
not as large as it would have
been had it not been for the
drought. The children's display
was fine and showed some good
crochet work done by Freddie
Murphy. The live stock and
poultry display was also good
