Ye Smudge Pot
By Arthur Perry
In' the peace treaty, It you have
had the time to read 80,000 -words
you will note that the heaven sent 14
points are eonspicious by their ab
sence, that there is no mention of
"humanity"-or "democracy." You
will find n dreamB, no idealism, no
poppycock. Instead you will discover
before you hare waded thru a 1000
words that whoever wrote it was long
-on facta and figures, and short on
fancy .phrases. The mlllenium is as
far away as it was in 1914, and
'Utopia is still a land with no boun
daries. England retains her. com
mercial supremacy, France receives
her "revanche," Italy Flume. Only
.the Jews and the Irish were forgot

THE PARABLK OF THE SALUTE
AM) THE CHEERS ,
' : (From New Dispatch) :
. After the conference-, the dis
patch states, the fact that the
members of the council of four
:. did not appear made the crowd
anxious, but It transpired they '
were holding a meeting, : and
shor'tly after 4:30 o'clock Presf- ,
: dent Wilson departed, looking
serious, but smiling. ,- He salut
ed the crowd as he went to his
automobile. A little later the
appearance of Clemenceau was a
signal for the first great wave of
; cheering of the day. Premier
Orlando also received an ova-
, tion, but Premier' Lloyd George,
the latest- to " leave," is said to
have been given a more generous
reception from the throng.

SENATOR ' BORAH.
SENATOR JJOUAH'S courage exceeds his wisdom. It
takes neryto to say what ho has said regarding the
League of Nations. But while one w .compelled to admire
the nerve, one. 'is' also coinpelled to deplore tho folly, that
prompts it. .
1 'Senator Borah is hitterly oiposed to the League. of
Nations, ov a League of Nations. A few weeks ago he
announced he would oppose such a scheme even if it was
jircsented to him by the Saviour himself. Now lie de
clares if .the republican party endorses .the principle he
will quit the party. ; ' ' .- " .'V. .'. '"'
, Well, it's satisfying to know where the Tdaio senator
stands. He has the courage of liis convictions, and his
confenipt for those who haven't no doubt is shared by the
American people. ' Biit when the senator talks about
Americanism opposing a peace covenant, he talks i'ool
ishn'ess. ' ' -,.
1 ' If tho League of Nations is uiiAuierican, then our re
cent participation in the war was uhAmoriean. The pol
icy of '.national- isolation preached when America was n
weak and struggling colony, separated from the world by
an Atlantic baia'ier; since overcome, would have kept us
from joining the' allies iii the war as effectively as it
would keep us. from joining them in a league to enforce
peace. ' ",' ,,; ' ! ".. ' '-'-' - .
. Senator Borah claims we din 't enter the war to
make the' World safe for democracy but to protect Amer
ican rights violated by the 'unspeakable Hun. In our
opinion we did both. But granting for the sake of argu
ment that Senator Borah is "right, the fact remains, that
the world has become so centralized that in the future, no
war can be waged without violating American rights.
Wars today are fought by nations, and world trade is
carried on by the same nations. Let any two nations
start to fight, and the rights of every other nation will in
evitably be infringed.
In other words American isolation which Senator Bo
rah preaches is as dead as the, Dodo bird. ' If the Repub
lican party follows the senator's example it will siiffei
the political Dodo's fate. It is regrettable that the Idaho
senator's excellent qualities are; nb.t devoted to1 a better
and more promising cause. '." .
THE VICTORY SPIRIT WINS.
THE merchants of Medford are to be congratulated
upon the success of Victory week.' The spirit oi
cnteiprise and enthusiasm they have shoNyn, is worthj
of Medford 's best-traditions. Now let this spirit be con
tinued through the year. Material conditions were ncvei
more, promising. With a victory spirit shown the past six
days, for every day in the yearj Medford will achieve the
destiny which her resources and high quality of citizen
ship justify. f " I ' "' '.' ' '
OHIO WETS PLAN
10 DEFEAT DRY
MEASURE IN FALL
COLUMBUS, O., May 10. Just
what is going to happen to the liquor
traffic in Ohio after May 27 when the
prohibition amendment to the -state
constitution, adopted .last autumn,
becomes' effective, is a problem that
is bothering state .and local officials.
" The state faces the situation of
having a dry : constitution biit no
statutes to enforce it. ' The general
assembly enacted enforcement mea
sures but they must run the gauntlet
of a referendum next November be
fore they ' can become operative and
should the voters disapprove ot them
there will he no particular i authority
by -which to enforce prohibition, it is
said. Anti-Saloon league' officials
say they have not given up hope of
obtaining some legislation that will
be effective May 27. "; '
Most of the saloonkeepers are,
planning to quit business May 27 and
they may have to' retire even befbre
that date. The license year of saloon
keepers expires May 24. None has
applied for" renewal of license and
the time for. making application has
passed. .- .
The Ohio Home Rule association,
the "wet" organization, is planning
its campaign to defeat (he enforce
ment bills next November. It hat
also started a referendum on the
resolution ratifying the national pro
hibition amendment, but this is being
resisted in the courts by the Antj
Saloon league. ,.'''.. : it-

ORGANIZATION
When the American engineers appeared on the scene
"Over There,".- the necessity of putting through one big job was
apparent; Thousands of our boys wore to ..follow; the big ships
bringing them, and the big freighters loaded with supplies must
be able to dock quickly, unload in haste and .depart unhampered
by delay of any kind, to bring more and more men and additional
tons of food, supplies,' ammunition aiid the necessities of war,, in
order thatsuccess be assured right from the start.' ' V ' "
-, , A certain seaboard towir.'on the; coast of'France, had been
selected as the most favorable port for the landing of these great
ocean carriers, but the facilities to dock and store were far from
adequate and haste was the important factor to save France.'. .
;; Elaborate - plans had been prepared 'by the French engi
neers for building suitable docks and warehouses, but they said it
"would take six years to complete thoinJ The'A'inei',ican engineers
re-designed and built them in six months.. ORGANIZATION
did it..;; - ,
-: V fto;it is with everything else American today. Success in
the operation of all the big things, in this ago of wonderful ac
complishment, is through this medium. Public service corpora
tions have been.' quick to realize this' fact and their policy has
undergone a change. ' '
prgaxiisttitiori sounds the death knell of the duplication of
effort, it systematizes details, it ' brings unity of 'actum,' .it1 pro
duces the! most' for the least, it makes a' smooth running macinc
.whoso-product -is service. , ' : ,
' ' TJiis is the reason why, in this day of progress and dovcV
opnienir, modern' cities and great manufacturing industries" prefer
. to be doing' business with large concerns engaged in supplying
clocivie energv; this is why the systems and plants 'of . big power
companies are being tied together to secure the jnost 'efficient
