OD ADMINISTRATION CHIEF. es Ratification on Ground That Peace Treaty Will Collapse Without League of Nations. democracy, as a stable form of govern ment as we know It, is possible only with highly educated populations and a large force of men who are capable of government. Few of the men who compose these governments have had any actual experience at governing and their populations are woefully il literate. “They will require a generation of actual national life in peace to de velop free education and skill in gov- ernment. “Unless these countries have a guid- Ing hand and referee In their quarrels, a court of appeals for their wrongs, this Europe will go back to chaos. If there is such an institution, rep resenting the public opinion of the world, and able to exert its authority, they will grow Into stability. We can not turn back now. “There is another point which also needs emphasis. World treaties hith erto have always been based on the theory of a balance of power. Strong er races have been set up to dominate the weaker, partly with a view to maintaining stability and to a greater degree with a view to maintaining OC- cupations and positions for the re- actionarles of the world. “The balance of power is born of armies and navies, aristocracies, autocracies, and reactionaries general ly, who can find employment and domination in these institutions, and treaties founded on this basis have established stability after each great war for a shorter or longer time, but never more than a generation. “America came forward with a new Idea, and we insisted upon its injec tion into this peace conference. We claimed that It was possible to set up such a piece of machinery with such authority that the balance of power could be abandoned as a relic of the middle ages. We compelled an entire construction of this treaty and every word and Une In it to bend to this idea. “Outside of the League of Nations the treaty itself has many deficiencies. It represents compromises between many men and between many selfish Interests, and these very compromises and deficiencies are multiplied by the many new nations that have entered upon its signature, and the very safety of the treaty itself lies In a court of appeal for the remedy of wrongs in the treaty.

Try IL San Francisco—While we are “gab bing pro and con these days about America's contribution to the war and victory, like a fresh spring breeze comes a letter from a twelve-year-old Sacramento boy exemplifying the war's contribution to America. It was ad dressed to the Director of the War Loan Organization of the Twelfth Fed eral Reserve District, and reads: "Dear Sir:—1 have bought $65 worth of W ar Savings Stamps and am trying to get $100 worth before the year is out. I am twelve years old and have earned every dollar of It working for my neighbors, cutting lawns, irrigat ing, and running errands. The savings director here said for me to write to you and you would send me a band grenade bank if I have earned two W ar Savings Stamps during my vaca tion. 1 have earned six already and expect to get at least two more before school starts. Hoping I am deserving of one, 1 remain. “Very-truly yours. "WILLIAM RADER, "2019 F Street, "Sacramento, Calif." C. A. Farnsworth, associate director of the War Loan Organization for the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, re plied: "My Dear William:—When I read your letter telling me how hard you worked, to earn that $65 you have in vested in War Savings Stamps and that you expect to increase it to $100 before the end of the year, it made me think of a picture that Ralph Yardley, an artist, drew one day during the Vic tory Liberty Loan. It was a picture of Uncle Sam shaking hands with a work man who had just bought a Liberty Bond and Uncle Sam was saying, as he looked the workman squarely in the eye. 'You are my kind of an Ameri- can.' Your letter made me think of that picture because you are my kind of an American. After this when I think of that picture I will see you in stead vt the workman shaking hands with Uncle Sam. “Yours for America. “C. A. FARNSWORTH." W g 8----- 1 (Editorial) HIGH COST OF LIVING The federal government has launched relentless war against profiteering. Various states are following this exam ple and countless cities are also taking steps to see that the high cost of living Is reduced. All these efforts, however, are loomed to failure unless the people themselves take a hand in the-matter. Unless the men and women who do the buying Insist on getting full value for iheir money and patronize only those merchants who are satisfied with le- ultimate profits, it will be impossible to reduce prices to where they should he. Careful buying will leave almost every family a margin of savings out it the family earnings. Dollars saved today are “cheap dollars,” because their buying power is less than in years gone by and less than it will be in the not tar distant future. The government offers the opportunity of putting these cheap dollars to work, earning interest while they are returning to their nor mal value. This opportunity is the Registered Treasury Savings Certificate, the War Savings Stamp and the Thrift Stamp. Investments in these are guaranteed by the government. Money invested In these securities with the accrued in terest will be returned by the Govern ment on ten days' notice. If Registered Treasury Savings Certificates or War Savings Stamps are held until matu rity. so much the better. Rut whether held that long or not, they form an excellent way of fighting the high cost of living. Work and save.

It’s all for the big, successful men.’’ “That,’’ I replied, “is where you’re wrong. ‘The COUNTRY GENTLEMAN I is just as much for the small farmer as it is for the big man—it’s for every man who is doin^ the best he can with what he has. It believes in the small farmer; it looks upon him as the man who did most to keep the fighting world from starving. “And it is trying in every possible way to help the small farmer to make a success— to do the best he can with what he has.” Just to empha size this very point. T he C ountry GENTLE- MAN is planning a new series of articles, to begin some time this fall, about small farmers in all parts of the country who are fighting the battle and doing the best they can with what they have. It will be a bully series, written by some of THE COUNTRY GENTLE- MAN'S best men, and no farmer, however small his place, can afford to miss it.

Adequate Telephone Rates Must be Provided It is obvious to everyone that the operating income of any business must of necessity be sufficient to meet its operating expenses and permit of a reasonable return upon the capital invested. The telephone business affords no exception to this accepted and well understood fact. On account of the general high costs prevailing for labor and materials in these unusual times, the people have been willing to accept advances in the cost of almost every necessity. The Telephone Company has had to meet the same increases in costs of materials and labor the same as all other industries and business and asks its patrons to recognize this fact and accept the increase in telephone rates in the same spirit of fairness and consideration, realizing that only through adequate rates can the telephone company provide adequate service.
