Gentle northerly winds. 4 .4 4 44444444444444 44 WllfiOX AXD THE LEAGVE As the president vends his way westward, working overtime deliver ing speeches in favor ot the league ot nations covenant, his coined phrases are winning those who have forgotten the assertions he made during the past tour years. It is probably a fact that the (Treat majority of the American peo ple want to give the league ot na tions a fair trial, providing the Unit ed States by so doing is not requir ed to relinquish her position 'as one of the great powers of the earth by giving Great Britain six votes to her one; is not obliged to become en tangled in endless European squab bles, and is not expected to forsake the Monroe Doctrine. The president is making state ments that "sound1 well." yet do not ring true with the proposed treaty. The democrats, claiming that the president is right and. those 39 sen ators who signed the round robin are wrong, are doing their best to make a party issue ef the league. They, together with the president, accuse the republican senators with distort ing the facts and garbling the issue; then back come the republicans and say it is the president and other democrats who are doin? the "garb ling." An Eastern writer a democrat says if we want the truth, wait for the president to speak; that regard less of criticism, his theories have stood the test of time, proving that he was right; that congress has done EOthing but "embarass" him and tryi to tear down. But here are some of the president's statements: ""When the treaty is accepted, the boys in khaki will never have to cross the ocean again." Yet, the covenant ' provides specifically for that Tery thing. In October, 1918( Wilson asked the people to return a democratic congress, saying that he would ac cept their Judgment "without cavil." Yet did he? He ignored congress as if it had not existed and left for Paris with a' coterie of rubber stamps, without giving the senate an inkling of what he had in mind or intended to do. And when he re turned home months later, hfe still ignored that 'oody until they showed him that they could get along very will without him; then he came forth with a statement that he was ready to "tell everything." But again he foroRe his word and balked when esked to produce a record of the business transacted at Paris. He also said, speaking of (he league: "Don't let men tear it down." A catchy phrase. Almost, Jf not quite, inferring that those who do not favor his particular brand of league are reactionaries, verging on the disloyal, and men dangerous to the welfare of the United States. Vet he would have been as much justified in nialdnz this kind of a statement: "Don't let men return a xapublican congress." Any Time Now Vol" MAY 11)1 CORN SEASON OPKX AMI VK 1IAYK Til K REST tXKX KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality and Service The president says he "has the greatest respect for cougress." Do his acts prove III" ' " The Monroe Doctrine has beoiv "swallowed Book, line anil siulter," says Wilson, and adds, "the Monroe Doctrine is not needed." Possibly he is right, providing the league of na tions would prove a perfect working machine; If not, where would the Monroe Doctrine be? The democratic writer's statement that the president has always been right, hardly rings true. . First, he allowed himself to be elected on the "kept us out of war" farce. Yet the boys who went through Argonne For est and other German stroughoUN will admit that they had a little scrap. In 1914 he said referring to the world war "it Is a matter that does not concern us." Was he riaht? In 1914 Roosevelt said, "keep out of war by preparing now for it." Was he or Mr. Wilson right? The chances are that 'f we had fallowed Teddy's advice we would never have gone to war, .vit the Mex'can' fiasco am' or spineless attitude eil the Germany to really believe that "we were too proud to fight," or would not. which amounted to the same thing so far as the Boche were con cerned. The president says the league Is intended to prevent any Wars similar to the last one, but aols that 'the treaty ista' "technical document that is hard to read," and asks the peo ple, as he tours the United States, to accept the interpretations of the, framers of the treaty. Admitting that the treaty is a. "te hnical docu ment," if the United States senate cannot riehtly Interpret its nieanlnt; now, before they acept It, how are they going to know what its provi sions mean later on when a dispute arises? The Courier does not make these' statements in a veiled or open fight against a league of nations, but merely to show that the president, as well as congress, has often been in the wrong. Senator Chamberlain has just made this statement: "I never would have supported the treaty without the modifications that were made regarding the Monroe Doctrine and the provision for getting out of the league. There Is much about It that I do not like, hut we must have a league." After all, Is the human language so defective and cumbersome that it is impossible to draw up an agree ment that can be plainly understood? 4 .

Fies, Special Agent Standard Oil Co., Grants Pass A Feast to the Eye is the Post-War Maxwell A NOTED artist, whose income is sufficient to provide him with a Rolls-Royce, took one - look at the Post-War Maxwell and remarked: "It's a sun-down!" Which is art slang for saying "It's a beauty." This, artist thenwent to the telephone and placed his order for one. But the real great beauty of the Post-War Max well was hidden from the eye of this noted artist. He did not know about the vast improvements made in the chassis, how the electric system has been perfected, how a heavier and masterly rear axle has been .used, how Hot Spot and Ram's-horn have given the engine a new efficiency, how the emergency brake has been set up on the transmission shaft, nor a score of others that would make a "mechanical mind" forget his , dinner. It's a greater Maxwell than any of the 300,000 of the same'type that grace the highways of the world. Though a respectable sum has been added in value, the. price is only $985 t o. b.
