Only two Republican papers of
importance, "The Kansas City Star"
and "The New York Sum-" accept
the Presidents challenge and urge
that the treaty be left to the cam

comes the idea of a referendum and
argues that it can be had by Mr..
Wilson'S running on a platform de-
claring for the treaty as drafted.

seem inclined to support, or
at least excuse, the Assembly's ac-
ton; Independent Republicans, In
dependents and Democrats oppose
it. "The New York Times" (Dem.),
however, supports the suspension.
An overwhelming majority Of papers
the country over are strongly con-
demnatory Of the Assembly.
In the opinion of The New York
Tribune (Rep.) the wisdom or
foolishness Of the action Of Speaker
Sweet and his supporters depends
on what proof they can produce
against the five Socialists. If they
are individually guilty of advocat-
ing violence, says The Tribune, they
are not fit to make our laws, but
they should be given a full oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence.
They are affiliated with an organi-
zation that has shown tendencies to
.disloyalty, but one must make due
allowances for the heat Of platform
oratory. So far Speaker Sweet has
shown "unutterable stupidity" He
has given plausibility to the com
plants Of a party skilled in raising
grievances for propaganda:

August, but he was overborne by the

forthcoming.
"If the President thinks It neces.
sary or wise to seek third term. the
announcement should not be delayed

ciated by Washington and never vio-
lated--that two terms in the Presi~

is short. In either case complete
frankness on his part would 70 far
toward clarifying a situation rapidly
coming to the point of possible exc
plosion. No apparent good purpose can
be promoted by the Presidents
silence"
Despite these widespread sus.
picions that President Wilson has a
third term in mind, "The New York
Times" feels that the idea is absurd
and devotes considerable space to
proving the point. Its argument
runs thus:
Easily Worried
IF there are any Democratic candi.
dates for the Presidential nomination ,
who feel that they are hampered by
President Wilson's neglect to declare
that he will not be a candidate, they
must be few and easily worried. IL
ought to be plain to everybody. with
out any declaration by the President,
on the subject, that he does not desire
and would not accept third ncmina-'
ton.
"A third term, after such illustrioua
service, could be nothing less than an,
anti-climax. From the point Of view
of his own personal fame, therefore,
if we credit the President with being
anything less than a supernatural be-
ing above the considerations which
move mortal men, he could not afford
it.
"The Presidents health alone would
forbid him to brave the great fstigueS
and the tremendous exertions that can
, not be evaded in these days by any
Presidential candidate. He mny be,
: as all Americans hope he will be, re-
covered from his illness before the
convention meets, but the steps Of that
. recovery will be slow, and when they
are over he could not prudently enter
on such furious battle as the cam
e paign Of 1920 will be. The discharge
d Of his Presidential duties alone will tax
q to the full his strenth.
e. "Finally, though third term is not

Il numberless party pledges. Over and

" party have solemnly declared sgains,

policy and principle of the Democratic
g party that no President, however emf
l. nent, should have more than two
tefms in the White House. President
Wilson knows this as we'll as any
body, and there is not the slightest

there were no other consideration in
the case, he would disregard these

papers feel that the Jack
son Day letter makes the

1 "A son Day letter makes the
President, in the language
of The New York Tribune, "the
only logical Democratic candidate"
Whether he actually intends to run
again is considered a matter of more
doubt. ''The Philadelphia Public
Ledger" considers the idea "non-
sense" yet it discusses the whole
speech and this aspect of it at length
as follows:
"Is his new slogan to be He kept us
out of peace? Not that we imagine for
moment that he will have any further
use for campaign slogans. If it were
were any politician of lower ideals
who thus proposed to prolong artificial
ly the life of an issue on which he him
self must stand as the only logical
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency, we might suspect that that very
human motive had something to do
with his amazing attitude For it is as
clear as crystal that if the Democratic
party is to go into the coming contest
with this Bourbon attitude on the
treaty, an attitude far sitter than
either the French or the British press
is taking, then the President, who
signed the treaty and has fought un-
waveringly for its acceptance, holus
bolus, without even such reservations
as Paris and London seem willing to
accept, is plainly indicated as the
Democratic standard bearer.

oddly enough, is found "The Spring
field Republican," whose former in
dependence seems to have been very
completely swallowed in it's devotion
to the President. It offers no slight
est rebuke of the Presidents letter,
and, in fact, rather approves his
challenge to the Republicans to make
the league a political issue.
In contrast stands "The New York
Evening Post" (Ind. Dem.), which
declares frankly that president
Wilson has been for some weeks
straining the patience of the country
sorely" and that this patience will be
nearly broken by his jackson Day
letter" for it "makes him appear as
man whom the isolation of sick
room has rendered wholly out of
touch with the sentiment of his party
and the nation" Of the Presidents
proposal "The Post" says:
"The Presidents letter is most un-
happy, however one looks at it. If it
is mere strategic threat to the Re-
publicans, it is both untimely and I'M
wise. If it is sincere in proposing to
hold up the ratification of the treaty
for another fourteen months, it indi-
Gates a policy altogether intolerahle.
Mr.. Wilson writes feelingly of the loss
and humiliation which have come to
the United States and the whole world
through our failure to join hands with
our allies in the great and pressing
work of rebuilding the ravage wrought
by the war and in vitalizing the league
Of nations; and then he coolly talks
of prolonging the uncertainty and the
misery. Thereby he at once delivers
himself into the hands of his enemies.
They will triumphantly point to his
letter and to his attitude revealed in
it, as justifying all that they have
charged him with. They have accused
him Of being obstinate to the point Of
unreason. They have said that he was
too arrogant to take advice, too self
centered to work with others, too am
bilious to care what happens to his
party. And it cannot be denied that
his unfortunate letter yields color for
these accusations.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-18

Gated away from the ballot box, which
is the method of American democracy,
to the revolutionary mass action of
the American Leninists."
In a similar vein, "The Chicago
Daily News" (Ind.) accuses "those
unwitting enemies of American
democracy who seek to defend or
save it by violating it's own basic
principles. Americanism is in no
danger from free speech in or out of
it's legislative assemblies" Suspend
ing Socialists because of their views
amounts to telling the ignorant and
credulous that the Communist view
is right, that only violence will give
them justice or an equal opportu-
nifty.

Delighting His Opponents

"If to delight his opponents and
grieve his friends had been the Presi-
dents aim, he could hardly have at
tained it more successfully"
Typical Of the more liberal Demo-
cratic viewpoint is "The Cleveland
Plain-Dealer.''i which finds the
Presidents message "disappoint-
ing":
"'The Plain-Dealer cannot follow the
President either in his present in
sistence that the Senate shall take
the treaty without changes which
alter it's meaning or leave it, or in
his suggestion that, as an alternative,
the treaty shall be taken to the people
at the November election.

The Thanksgiving services at the
Baptist church yesterday, which were
participated in by the Presbyterian,
Methodist, Christian and Baptist con-

The pulpit was ornamented with
poinsettia heads. greens, asparagus

was the artistic work of the members
of the B. Y. P. u. of the Baptist
church.
A most delightful musical program
was rendered during the services.
Rev. C. w. White, pastor of the Meth
