the money cost was between $185,-
000,000,000 and $195,000,000,000;
in shipping, the toll was 23,665,383
tons of merchant vessels and 1,882,-
125 tons of war vessels. These fig
ures were compiled by the War De
partment at the request of Senator*
McCumber, Republican of North Da
kota, and were made public by him
as the telling reason why there should
be a League of Nations.
That President Wilson is not being
swerved from his original position
by the onsloughts of partisan Repub
licans was to have been expected.
The Foreign Relations Committee
does not constitute the Senate of the
United States, nor does it represent
the sentiment of the people of the
country. The President knows this
and will continue to contend for a
square deal.
justment rolls around. The au
thorities are playing no favorites
this year.
'WE APPRECIATE PROMPTNESS
In response to our little notices
and appeal to subscribers to renew
in last week’s NEWS, many have
come to our assistance; the first of
whom was Rev. E. H. Norwood and
the second was Miss H. McC. Rhett.
We mention these first two because
they lost no time in answering our
appeal. They realize that it takes
money to run a newspaper the same
as it does for anything else. We ap
preciate the others who renewed just
I
as much as the two menioned, but I
we just wanted to take this oppor- |
tunity of expressing our appreciation j
of promptness.
There are many yet whose sub
scriptions have expired and we hope
they will renew at once so that they
will not miss a single copy of the
NEWS. Wo cannot run the kind of
paper you would have us publish with
out both the moral and financial sup
port of the people.
NEWS TO HAVE KICK KOLUM
Befjinning with its next issue the
NEWS will have a column for the
publicatiq^ of letters from people who
have any suggestions or criticisms to
offer about any feature of the paper.
Suggestions of any kind will be wel
come and reasonable criticism is so
licited. Especially do we wish to hear
from those who have the habit of say
ing that they “never look at the Bre
vard paper.”
This colum will be known as the
Kick Kolum and will be open to any
body. Unsigned letters will not be
considered. However names of
writers will not be printed without
permission.,
Some of the Republican Senators
are wondering whether they have
been playing bad politics in dealing
with the peace treaty. Senator
Brandegee is one of them. He want
ed to know Elihu Root’s opinion as
to Aether the Senate’s inquiry into
the''possession of unofficial copies of
the treaty had “ done any damage.”
Mr. Root replied: “I cannot see that
any damage has been done unless
it ♦ be through withdrawing the at
tention of the Senate from the very
serious questions before it.” The
purpose of the inquiry was to fix
responsibility for the leak on Pres.
Wilson. It failed. If that is not
“damaging” to those who instituted
the “search” we are no judge of a
spoiled egg.

A preacher at the close of his ser
mon said: “Let fill in the house who
are paying their debts stand up.”
Presently every man, woman, and
child, with one exception, rose to their
feet.
The preacher seated them and said:
“Now every man not paying his debts
stand up.” The exception, a care
worn, hungry-looking individual,
clothed in his past summer’s suit,
slowly assumed a perpendicular po
sition.
“How is it my friend,” asked the
minister, “you are the only man not
able to meet his obligations?”
“I run a newspaper,” he answered,
“and the brethren here who stood up
are my subscribers, and—”

as a Democrat and his constituency

that certain Republican leaders in!

Republicans squirmed under the
tcrrific fire of the Senator of Miss
issippi, but were unable to escape the
effect of it. Senator Moses, Repub
lican spokesman admitted the “stack
ing,” but tried to justify the act by
explaining that what he intended to
say was that it was “stacked” with
Republicans. To which Senator Wil
liams replied: “The Senator may not
camouflage things. He knows as well
AS I do that the motion of the Sena
tor from Pennsylvania (Mr. Knox)
is not merely the, motion of the crim
inal lawyer, with a client about to
lang, for a continuance; but that it
is a motion to defeat the covenant of
peace and the League of Nations,
«nd that is all that is behind it. You
are trying to defeat the League of
Nations. I do not intend to be
sonal. I mean this whole infernal
gang.”
That is a serious charge against
the Republican leaders. No graver
accusation has ever . been brought
against them. And the serious part
of the whole business is that the
charge has apparently been sustain
ed. Petty politics is behind it all and
President Wilson is eternally right in
standing firm for the League without
any reservations. Let the Republi
cans defeat it if they will and take
the responsibility for preventing uni
versal and perpetual peace.
