had gathered to witness the giving
away of a 200-acre farm which was
to take place Immediately after the
wrestling match.
Seven men were called to the plat

err and the total sum divided by the
number OF men engaged, which
brought the result of AZ. This num-
Der was chosen as the one that would
draw the farm. All of the tickets
were placed in large barrel. a
young boy blindfolded, picked the
tickets out, which were read. This
continued until the 42nd ticket was
drawn. This was held by c. w.

DEMocn rs AGAINST PEACE
Party Leaders in Washington At
tempt 10 Block Way of Securing
Peace With Germany.

Democratic opposition to the Ger
man, Austrian and Hungarian peace
treaties grew to such proportions IL
Washington Tuesday that republican
leaders decided to lay the pacts
aside temporarily, to organize a
drive for ratification.
Prospects for speedy action are
not bright. Democratic senators,
aroused from the lethargy which has
heretofore marked their attitude to-
ward the treaties and spurred by re-
ports OF ex-President Wilson's strong
opposition to ratification, held a
lively caucus, but failed to agree up
on a clear-cut program of action.
Approximately 20 democrats ia
vored flat rejection of the treaties.
This number, allied with the repup-
licans said TO be opposed to the
treaties, would not be sufficient to
block ratification. Nearly all Of
them, however, indicate willing
ness to support reservations which
are being framed for the purpose of
carrying out the Wilsonian doctrine
Of closer participation in European
affairs.
Another caucus will be held this
morning, at which time the reser-
vations will be more thoroughly dis
cussed. No attempt will be made to
bind senators to united party action,
ii was predicted, but every effort
will be made to present as nearly a
solid front as possible to keep the
democratic record straight. Since
it requires a majority vote for the
adoption of reservations and only a
little over a third of the senate is
democratic, 1t seems unlikely that
sufficient votes will be gained to
carry out any part of the program.
One of the reservations contem-
plated will undertake to name more
specifically the rights and privileges
which tine United States is to obtain
under the pending treaty. Another
will provide that the United States
stands ready to perform its part of
the obligations necessary to the en-
forcement of those parts of the YER
sailles pact under which American
claims are made.
Still another reservation said to
be in the course of preparation will
provide that nothing contained In
the pending treaties shall close the
door to future American participa-
tion in the league Of nations IL the
United States, by joint resolution
of congress, so desires. Democratic
senators contend that in putting for
ward such reservations, they not
only maintain their position in the
past, but they may compel mild
reservationist" republicans to toe
the mark ON some embarrassing roll
calls.

GREEN WARS ON TAX
In Speech in Congress Tuesday, He
Favors Lowering of
Freight Rates

Representative Green of the house
ways and means committee, in
statement at Washington Tuesday
declared strongly in favor of re-
moving the tax on freight. He also
declared for lower freight rates
and il necessary changes in the
Esch-Cummins law.
Representative Green said:
. "The senate finance committee
seems to have followed the house
revenue bill closely except that in
stead of repeating all or the trans
portation taxes the finance COM
mittee proposes to take off one
half the tax the first year and the
other half the following year. I'm
der present conditions no tax can be
more injurious to business, more
unfounded in principle, or less sup
ported by reason or fact than the
tax on freight.
Everyone comedies that freight
charges, without the tax, are now
too high, act as a check on business,
and that they are especially burden
some to the farmer. Yet it is pro-
posed to continue to keep them high
er than the railroad charge by re-
tanning a tax upon them.
"The recent reports on railroad
earnings show" Mr.. Green con-
tinued, that the railroads as rule
now are making good returns, al
though the traffic is not yet any
where near what might be expected
when business becomes normal.
There is nothing that can be done
now that would aid more in bring
ing a return to normal business
than reduction of rates charged by
the railroads.
"In many instances, 1t is perfect
ly apparent that they would make
more money on lower rates on prod
ucts which are now not shipped at
all on account of the high charges.
It would seem, also, that the re-
turns now being received by the rail-
roads would show that under normal
business conditions the present rates
are not necessary. The proper
course 20 bring about normal con-
ditions and an increase in traffic
| would be to reduce rates wnere the
circumstances show they are now
| unreasonable. This, however, can
not be done by congress, but must
be done by board of experts such
as the interstate commerce commits
sion after having heard the case,
and the law so provides.
"This committee has already made
some important reductions, partic-
ularly in the rates from the west to
the seaboard, but it seems TO be
hampered by the provisions of the
Esch- Cummins act, which may need
to be modified to give it broader
| Interpretation. The act provided
that the rates should be reasonable,
based upon economy and efficiency
in operation.
IF there are any parts of this
law that prevent these provisions
being given full application it is
evident that change is necessary.
The bill was not expected to be per-
| feet when IL was enacted, and we
should not hesitate to change any OF
its provisions where necessary"

WAITING FOR THE MIRACLE


Il seems that President Harding

ing a conference 20 consider certain
stubborn concrete facts in human
existence. He should have surround
ed himself with a rainbow and point
ed out the pot of gold at its end. 1t
would be so much easier to promise
the people lot of things, and, when
the murmurs arise again 10 prom
Use them something else. That is
leadership with a vision, according
to the estimate of some latter-day
commentators; a world of dreams,
in which nothing ever comes true.
1t has been thus from the begin
ming; imam never is, but always to
be blest," an probably will be, the
world without end. Mans unsatis-
fled longings will ever lead him to
reach out for something better than
he has. 1t is che blessed discontenr
that has led him along the way to
his present height, the never-failiug
urge that prevents his sitting down
to enjoy what he has achieved.
Furthermore, ii is the exhibition OF
natures plan, the evolutionary pro-
cess that works the stupendous
changes in form, quietly, persistent
ly, and inexorably.
II our social system is wrong
and it does have it's glaring defects
its remedy is being wrought out
as certainly as mans destiny ad-
vances. Who can view the world
today and say that good has not al

through which it has Just passed?
Old social forms have been modified
until they are nurecognizable; polit-
ical practices and institutions OF

SOCIABILITY RUN
MADE ON TUESDAY
A HUNDRED OR MORE COUNCIL
BLUFFS BUSINESS MEN VISIT
OUR THRIVING CITY.

The sociability run staged by a
hundred or more Council Bluffs hus-
mess men proved a big success in
Audubon, Tuesday afternoon. The
company arrived in some twenty odd
cars. The cars were decorated wi h
flags and banners, bearing evidence
that Council Bluffs business men
were wide awake and they didn't
care who knew it.
The visitors were a little late in
arriving, their schedule here being
$3.50. 1t was almost four o'clock
when the head car arrived. Howev-
or, no time was lost in getting start
ed with short program that had
been arranged to take place in the
park.
AS soon as the 168th band arrived
they mounted the platform and be-
gan playing. A large crowd, num-
bering several hundreds of people,
gathered and mingled in the crowd
to extend the Council Bluffs boost
ers right royal welcome. The Elks
quartet furnished a selection, and
then Senator H. J. Mantz extended
Audubon's welcome in very happy
manner. w. r. Orchard, editor of
the Nonpariel, responded for Council
Bluffs. He paid a high compliment
to the city and said Audubon had
furnished the largest crowd Of any
town along their route.
The 16Sth band took leave of alb
sence and went to the home of Mrs.
Bert McLaren to furnish a few Sc
lections Cor the ladies of the Column
bian Club who were holding their
first meeting. While the band was
gone, the members of the party mix
ed with the Audubon crowd to ex-
tend their acquaintance.
Audubon maintained her reputa-
tion for doing things and gave the
Council Bluffs boosters to under
stand they were always welcome.
They left for Manning almost an
hour late, but reached Denison be-
fore dark, where they spent the
night. They continued their trip on
Wednesday and returned home last
night.
