For instance we all paid the price r „ • . u n „ „ , . ^ - -,, ot victory cheerfully, we all bought Liberty Bonds, and War Stamps, gave to all the Charities, worked night and day for the Red Cross and did without sugar and coal, bacon and wool, and paid our income tax with out a whimper, that is, all the thoroughbreds did. That was the price of victory and America paid it gloriously, joyfully!

Should A Cockeyed Man Pilot Ah Airplane* It is a truism, as old as the hills, and as oft repeated as the Arabian Tales that character i what you really are and Reputation is what peo pie say about you. This is true, but he man with a good Character usually bears a good reputation and a repu tation is built upon character, and character stands firm when a good reputation is at stake. Reputation may or may not be fair, and often good - men have the commendation of ity of their fellowmen and a strong minority honestly decline to believe in them. Character is not only in the heart, soul and general make-up of a man, but is reflected in the eye. If a man has a bad eye, it only takes a bit of research work to dig up rotten spots in his heart, and if a man has a weak dropping mouth, the kind that looks like it would leak a lie with little trouble, that man usually remains at the bottom or rises only to fall. And so with the material things that make for the happiness and welfare of man. They are either able to stand the acid test and grow and develop and secure a place of real confidence with thoughtful men, or they soon go to the discard heap where preceded them.

The situation in the Senate; as regards the treaty, is thus summed up by a dyed-in-the-wool Republican newspaper, the Philadelphia Inquirer: Senate has wasted weeks is useless discus Its leadership—and we make the charge de liberately—has fought off final consideration for the purpose of allowing radical opponents of the treaty to stalk around the country in an effort to deceive the public- The leadership of the Foreign Relations Committee early assumed an attitude I of intense hostility to the treaty. We mince no words whatever and accuse this leadership of a downright lack of honesty. Its opposition is not* and never has been because of any fear of the loss sion. of American sovereignty. This opposition grew out of the slight put upon the Senate by the Pres-j ident when he stupidly and egotistically insisted upon going it alone at the Paris conference. Ha treds were bred. The treaty was marked for mut - ,, , . , £ ... , , , nation from the very start because of this hatred. , ., ., , : , , „ We have said it before and we repeat that Sena , , , . , , , . . tors nave not been able to rise above partisan , . , S ^ 7 r*i Apart from the question of tact and calculat ing conciliation, it is worth while to remember that under the Constitution it is the President's rhght to negotiate a treaty without any participa tion whatever by Senate. And it is the Senator's right to examine a treaty negotiated by the Pres ident and decide whether it shall be ratified or; not. President Roosevelt not only negotiated a ■y with San Domingo without the knowledge I . / ' f the Senate but actually put it into operation six months before the Senate even knew of its exist He did not unpardonably offend, however,) because the Senate majority at that time happen-: »nee. ed to be of his own party. It is perfectly obvious that there would now be less "hatred" for Wilson than there was for Roosevelt if Wilson were of the same party as the Senate majority -o New Orleans might have broken into the news with something more cheerful than the bubonic plague.
