WILSON UPHOLDS MANKIND'S RIGHTS Declares Day When World Was . Ruled By Small Coteries of Men Is Gone. raria. When the second session of toe full peace conference met. It addressed by President Wilson on the subject of a Inioi of nations. The president declared the conference had solema oblltailou to make a perma nent settlement Tht present conference, the prl dcot added, could not complata Ita work until some farther machinery of settlement should be set up. The pres ident spoke aarneetly, "We are not here alone," he said, "aa representatives of governments, but aa representatives of peoples, end n the settlements we make we need o satisfy, not the opinions of sorera uionts, but the optnlona of mankind." President Wllaon contended that a 'eague of nations must be a vital thing and not casual or occasional. It mud hare continuity. On his travels, the president ssid, people everywhere had greeted the league u the first thing in their In terest ' - "Select classea of men no longer direct the affaire of the world," said the president, "but the fortunes of the world are now In the hands of the ptaln people. The wish of the people, therefore, must be heard." The war has swept away those old foundstlons by which small coteries had "used, mankind aa pawna In a game." said the president Nothing but emancipation from the old sys tem, he contended, would accomplish real peace, - EIG SUM ASKED TO BUYWHEAT CHOP Washington.

An extra session of congress next spring now seems cer tain, tn the opinion of democratic and republican leaders. With but SI working days of the present session remaining, appropria tion bills are to be rushed this week. Only six of the IS regulhr supply bills have been passed by the house, and none by the senate. Besides the regular appropriation measures, several special money bills. Including the new deficiency measure and the $750,000,000 request of the railroad administration, await action. Much general legislation is also on the calendar, with only the railroad, unemployment naval program and other questions being pressed for so lution. Curb on Immigration Asked. Washington.

M.'.L could have a more splendid monu- mcnt than the newspaper which was their life work's fruition as their l.fe work s iruiuon. Signs are not Jacking that thef great movement for road improve- ment in Umatilla county and Ore- gon has received such an impetus -as to overcome all obstruction. To three whose subscriptions pire with this issue we have" on say that if they feel as though Weston ought to have a newspaper I they will be wise to renew. Perchance Pendleton needs chang ing, instead of her chief of police. It is doubtful if Mr. Strain's road address has been read by very many Weston people. At all events the message will carry more weight if delivered in person, and we hope ho will be able to accept the commer cial club's invitation. - The great strike in England affords grim evidence that the Bol sheviki may yet succeed in making a mad-house of Europe. . Umatilla county, we think, is not only fortunate in having a man on the state highway commission, but ought to shake hands with her self that he is a man of so broad gauged a type as W. L. Thompson. "Not all today's moaning is lim ited to the harbor bars," is the way the great prohibition victory looks ' Says the Oregon Voter: "Any so-called good roads bill that comes from Senator Pierce will stand a lot of watching. He can throw more monkey wrenches into the good roads machinery of Oregon and do it with more delight ful grace than can any other ob structionist."
