Failure Of Senate to Ratify Peace
Treaty Leaves United States Tech

Election Holds Interest
BY DONALD F. elees.

The world throughout the year 1920
was passing through the troublesome
period of readjustment and reaction
that began with the close Of the World
war. OF all the great powers that had
been involved in the conflict, the Unit
ed States alone remained technically
in a state of war with Germany
through the failure of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty. For all prac-
teal purposes, however, the United
States was at peace and conditions III
this country were more nearly normal
than in most of the nations of Europe
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
at Paris.
Although the great war had ended.
the world was not at peace in 1920.
Territorial disputes and jealousies
growing out of the war resulted in a
large number of minor conflicts.
The Irish problem remained I'M
solved and the situation in the Elmer
aid Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States, de
spite minor radical activities and the
uncertainties accompanying the read
justment of business and Industrial
conditions. there was continued pros
perity and optimism.

THE COUNTRY EDITOR.

Everybody has written about the
trials and tribulations of country ed
itOrS, but few have written about his
joys. He stands ahead of the preach
er, the lawyer and the public speak
er, because he never talks to empty
benches, but goes in all the homes
where his paper goes. He never
makes impromptu speeches which
generally disgust the audience, but
writes with deliberatiOn and premedi-
taLion. The preachers influence for
good seldom reaches farther than his
congregation, while the editors field
Tor good reaches all the congregations
in me county. The lawyer makes a
good speech in the court house and
only one or two hundred persons
hear him, but when the editor writes
q good editorial it is copied in various
newspapers in the state. The editor
distributes more flowers than a for
ist and he asks nothing in return for
them but thanks. The editor has an
opportunity to do the individual citi-
zen q service and he never hesitates
to do it if consistent with obligations
TO the public. The editor has the
greatest opportunity to convert men
and women to his way of thinking on
public questions. As the lighthouse
on the shore warns the ships from
the rocks the editor al warn the
populace from frauds and fakes. The
editor has the greatest opportunity
to protect society from evil by stand
ing for the law and creating public
sentiment for it. The editor never
tires of boosting his town and county,
and if both do not grow it is not his
fault. He helps the deserving young
men with words of commentator and
restraints the old by words of warn
ing. His field Of usefulness is broad
er than anyone else in the community,
and if he does not get any returns
for his efforts for settlement he has
a sufficient reward in seeing things
get better. He rejoices in his OPP
portunity for service to his fellow
man, his town and his country, and
goes on his way rejoicing, whether
or not he gets any return for it

He sleeps, now covered with his ma

At home again, his soul at home with

His burial chant, the sons of Liberty.

And through the fire Of shells and

The clear young eyes saw visions

Holding high the torch of God until

Pressing onward, and undaunted by

Unfaltering he went-and this we

And loosed unto the world the Dove

And fell uniinchingly in the arms of
