PARTY ISSUES"

The Gainesville Sun. which may
truly claim to be edited by an old
fashioned democrat. says:
A good many people and quite a
few newspapers are worried about
party issues and especially about MAX
ing the league of nations a party is
sue. They are afraid of the people.
The president is charged with max
ing the issue. How has he made it
and why should he be charged with
forcing it? He submitted to the Sen
ate a treaty which he had signed and
from that day to this the Senate has
dallied and delayed. Was the presi-
cent expected to withdraw treaty
he had made or assisted in making?
Was he expected to advise amending
a treaty he had assisted in making
Would it not have been pusillanimous
in him to have done so? Could he have
maintained his self-respect or the re-
spect of the Allies and the other ma
tions of the earth had he been guilty
of double dealing?
A majority of the Senate have said
they did not want to amend. Two
thirds have, so Tar. refused to ratIfy.
They have made the issue.
Let it come.
Let the republicans elect a presi-
dent on it, if they can.
It would be more honorable in dem
ocrats to stand fast and, of all men
on earth. who should keep his mouth
shut, it is William Jennings Bryan
IL.
if he had any good advice to give, the
president needed it. If Bryan had re-
manned secretary of state when the
clouds of war were lowering over US
he would have been at Versailles al
the end of the war, helping to make
the treaty. It i'll becomes him to be
running about the country advising
democrats to accept whatever Mr.
Lodge or Mr.. Hiram Johnson may
dictate.

DRIVE
FOR THE ARMY

A special recruiting drive has just
been started by the army to secure
men for each of the seven regular
divisions from one to seven. inclus-
i've. Men enlisting will have the
right to choose the division with
which they wish to serve. This offer
will remain open until March Is, this
year.
In addition to accepting men for
service with any one of the seven
divisions mentioned. men may also
choose the following special assign
ments: Signal corps, engineer corps,
infantry and medical department.

Every man considers his wife a
peach when she marries him, but he
often thinks she is a lemon after
they have dwelt together awhile.
Proof of this is found in a speech de-
livered by B. E. Smith, we'll known
horticulturist of Lawrence, Kan. be-
fore the state horticultural society in
Topeka, few days ago. According
to Smith, it was a lemon and not an
apple that got Adam and Eve into
trouble in the Garden of Eden.
Smiths argument was that the word
translated "apple" in the Bible is
with great probability supposed to
mean the citron tree and the trees
fruit species of lemon.

The New York state assembly has
expelled five of its members who are
socialists, and the mollycoddles, in
GLIDING Chas. E. Hughes, are pro-
testing loudly. We endorse the &C
ton of the assembly and hope it will
stick to its guns. Socialism in AM
erica doesn't mean today what it
meant six years ago. At that time it
meant attaining certain ends by
peaceful means. Now it means at
tempting to overturn the American
government by violent means. In the
years between, it has meant sympathy
with Germany and stabbing Ameri-
can soldiers in the back. T'hell with
it.
