Perkins to r. e. Montague of Lake
Andes, wko takes possession in

selling is his wife's health. and they
intend going south for the winter in
hopes of restoring her to better
health. They are shipping their
household goods to Lincoln, Nebr.. to
be stored until their return. when they
might possibly make that city their
home.

Inasmuca as our war with Germany
was not brought on by any congress
sional proclamation, but vas brought
on by Germany, and was simply rec-
ognized by proclamation declaring
that "a state of war exiats,' why
can not congress now declare that a
state of war does not exist? Such q
declaration would not fix any terms
of peace. but it would nullify num-
Der of autocratic powers conferred
upon the president for the duration of
the war, and that would help some.

Myron T. Herrick, former embassa.
do, to France and who has just re.
turned from stay Of two months in
Europe, says that the experience of
the League of Nations in its effort to
protect Poland, has convinced the
statesmen of France and England,
that article K of the League is futile.
He says the counties of Europe never
did want the league in the form it
came over here. even when it was
first drawn up. This corresponds with
all reports that we have received.
The adoption Of Article X is pro-
claimed by Pres. Wilson's friends as
great personal triumph for him. and
was included in the treaty against the
protest of other nations, Now we are
told by the supporters of the league
as presented, that We are deserting
our allies by not adopting it. Two
points in this connection should be no-
ted. Fi,st. we never had any allies
in the world war. We went into the
WoA 90 0u NeSOSIotS9 PO"CA duA
refused to make an alliance We
cannot be charged with desertipg our
''allies" for we never had any. The
second point is that in demanding a
revision of Article x we are simply
asking what the European powers
asked when the treaty was being
framed. 1t is not likely, therefore.
that the other powers would seriously
object to our relieving them of an OBJ
jectionable clause which was forced
upon them by Pres. Wilson Even
had we been an allv there could ba no
charge of desertion lodged against us
for signing separate peace at this
time. Had we done it before the 9th.
er allies did, such a charge nigh,
have had q shadow of truth, but 2e
other nations have ratified q peace
treaty, leaving US as the only natio1
now nominally at war with Germany.
Since they have already made peace
with Germany and deserted US by
signing treaty that we did not ap
prove, It is np to u. to make terms
that will be satisfactory to US if pos
sible.

The Sioux City Tribune now thinks
that the republicans made fatal mis-.
take in not nominating Gen. Leonard
Wood for president Yet If Gen.
Wood had been nominated the Tribune
would still be supporting Gov. Cox.
The attitude of the Tribune seems t.
be that everything is right that the
republicans have not done. and
nothing is right that they have done.

On Tuesday of this week the last
unit Of the American Expeditionary
Force. which since the signing of the
armistice has been stationed In the
occupied German territory along the
Rhine, was mustered out, and will re-
turn home. We shall then be out of
war in everything except in name
and this condition will probably con.
tinue until soon after the fourth of
next March.

ments to the constitution in order
are:

ture to nix salaries OF state officials

rious state educational, penal and
charitable institutions, to take the
place of different boards now in ex-
istence.
