DEATH-BLow TO WILSON DIcTArIoN.

ID vote Of 10 10 S. the United States Senate yeser-
~ day defeated the amended peace treaty the League
OF Nations covenant and subsequently, by vote Of a
to g. directed It's secretary tho treaty to Presl-
dent Wilson with the information that 10 had failed Of
ratification.
Twenty-esht Republicans including Senator l.. Heisler
Ball. OF Delaware and twenty-one Democrats including
Senator Josiah o. wolcott this State voted for the
amended treaty. Unfortunately, twelve Republicans and
twentyhree Democrats voted against II and lost
by reason Of having failed TO receive a wo-hrds vote.
The defeat due solely to the stubborness OF President
Wilson and his friends who refused accept reservations
which majority Of the Senators insisted essential
to protect the future interests Of the United States
It pleasing to know that both United states Senators
from Delaware refused to be swayed by such White
House dcaton and voted put the treaty through its
Amercanized form. Many friends Of Senator wolcott
regret, however. that he long In seeing light IN
the matter. From the outset Senator Bah had stood

members OF the Senate who insisted upon a treaty

American interests.
Commenting upon the action Of The Senate. the New
York Tribune says:

Ola Herring went to st. Louis
Wednesday to buy furniture and

Mrs. Lou Cunningham return
ed Monday from Whitman where
she had been for a month.
Tuesday the United States Su-
preme Court unanimously decid-
ed that the referendum in Ohio
by which the action Of the legis-
lature of that state ratifying the
18th amendment was attacked,
was invalid and the ratifica-
ton would stand. In other
words, no state will now need
to submit to the people the
question of the ratification of the
18th amendment in case the leg
lislature of the state desiring so
to do, has ratified the amend
ment. In the case Of this state
where the popular vote was over
whelmingly against prohibition
yet the legisture the next year
met and hastily ratified the
amendment, the people will
have to submit, so far as an op.
portunity to express themselves
thru the ballot is concerned.
There are other ways, however,
and they will be employed to let
the majority govern, the Demo-
cratic doctrine ever since Wash.
ington and Jefferson.
The U. S. Supreme court on
the same day decided, 7 to 2,
that the act requiring the presi-
dent and federal and supreme
judges to pay income tax on
their salaries, is unconstitutional
and federal judges who have
paid such tax will have it
refunded to them.
The supreme court did not de.
eide the validity of the 18th
amendment nor portions of the
Volstead act, and since it will
have long recess, it will be
some time before these questions
are settled. Since prohibitions
lists fancy we have prohibition
and those with thirst find
something to 'squench' it with,
what's the difference?
