The Busy Store REPUBLICAN SENATORS The Ke WILL HAVE NO TREATY publican Senators aided by four or fire Demo crats have done all they could to destroy the Treaty. They sought io ratify it with reservations, which every one knew meant its virtual rejection. For the very first reservation declared that the Trea ty as amended should become effective only when ratified by three of our prin cipal allied powers tnat is never. Then .ifter failing in their efforts to ratify a treaty so amended as never to become efective, these" same Republican Sena tors refused every suggestion of com promise. They voted by 51 to 42 that ho compromise reservations should come before the Senate. They voted down by 50 to 46 a proposition to hear an amend ment to the preamble so as to make the language less insulting to other nations. They then voted against the appoint ment of a "committee on conciliation," to be headed by Senators Iodge and Hitchcock, the purpose of which was to see i tne contending factions could not rot to gether. They have made it plain that they want no treaty. Why? Large iy because President Wilson had a hand in making it. and tby are seeking to take their personal and political spite out. on him. , They do not care about the wishes and interests of a great ma jority of their countrymen. In their utterances they make plain their ani "ins. This is especially plain in a state ment of Senator Lodge given out after the Senate had refused to ratify his amended treaty, in which he says: "Un der the President's orders the followers of the Administration in the Senate vo ted down those reservations.'' Mr. Lodge ."eems to think that there is nothing here but a political row, that the Senators who do not agree with him take orders from President Wilson, and have no opin ions of their own, and that the country has no interest in the matter. On this account public opinion has not stood with the miners in their effort to produce a coal famne. If they want bet ter wage and more definite . terms on which they shall- work, "that is another question. They have now reduced their demands to a seven-hour day and a half holiday Saturday. The operators are willing to give a flat increase of 15 cents a ton for coal mined, and a 20 per cent increase to common laborers. FATAL FIRE We have another instance of how easily a crowd may be stampeded and become like wild beasts, in the kill ing and burning of 28 persons trying to get out f of a dance hall in a burning building at Villa Platee, Louisiana, on last Saturday night. Three hundred peo ple were in the hall. Before they-knew it all the lower floor of the building was ablaze. When the alarm was giv en they made a rush for the narrow stair case, trampled one another under foot and broke down the stair case. Be sides the 28 who lost their lives many were seriously injured. In the same build- inw o nwiiTi.i i-l . " . u " ff-uuw as going on, duc some cool-headed man got control of the spec tators and instructed them how to get out with the result that not one was hurt. at notice :- -NOTICE!

Unless all signs are de ceptive the country is sorely dissatisfied over the Treaty in the Senate. Senator Shields. Democrat of Tennessee, who voted with the Republicans for the dead ly reservations to the Treaty, has been asked to resign by a meeting of bankers of his state. The business interests of the country have become very impatient, Those who " have claims for ships and property at sea by German submarines must wait. These claims alone amount to SSOO.OO0.00O. Then there aro many other claims for property of Americans in Germany or war purposes by .the Ger man Government. Again our trade will continue to suffer because we can have no consuls in German ports to look af ter our interests until tne 1 reaty is ratified. Hence our business interests are demanding ratification. The League to Enforce Peace, at a meeting in New York on last Sunday, presided over by Ex-President W. II. Taft, put out a statement urging early ratification, which is the most sane' and-convincing uf. any thing we have read. I quote some of the paragraphs: ''The defeat of the ratification has been received by the country with sur prise and indignation. The people want peace. Whose name it boars, which par ty brand it wears, they care not at all. They longed for and expected ratifica tion before adjournment of the Senate I lie maKing ot peace is no more a party question than vas the making of the war. The American people without regard to party stood behind the war, until the dawn of victory. With like unaninity they now stand behind the treaty. "The failure to ratify the'peace treaty has encouraged social unrest both at home and abroad. "The allied natioi.i established dur ing the war a practiral union which is being succeeded by the Xeague of Nations To refuse to join this league is to lose numberless benefits and to invite the development of a league that will be hostile to us in feeling and in policy "The men and women who gladly ded icated their sons and their substance to the cause of obtaining peace through the defeat of the German menace refuse to believe they made an empty sacrifice. Thy demand that the Senators harmon ize thir differences. Refusal to do so will defy and betray the people of this country by whom they were elected and to whom they must answer. "The Treaty should be ratified at the earliest possible moment after the Sen ate reconvenes on December 1. In the name or thousanas or Americans wno have died to bring pracr and end war, of millions of Americans who have toiled arid sacrificed to that end, we call upon the Senate to forget prejudice and par tisanship and agree upon a resolution of ratification concluded in terms that will permit the other signatories of the treaty to ocquiesce in the conditions of our ratification." THE PRINCE The Prince of Wales OF WALES after a five day's visit to New York and other points in tne North set sail for Halifax and England on last Saturday. He had been given a warm reception, one without adulation, and he showed un a man rather than a Prince. There is one thing noticable about the-visits of these foreign poten tates. They think they have seen the United Stats when hey have seen the North and West. They never think of the South. King Ailbert of Belgium traveled across the country and back, but he never got south of the Mason oTid Dixon's line ' excent to Norfolk to take ship, and never .saw a cotton field, : i THE COAL STRIKE It is now proba ble that National Fuel Administrator Garfield will be able to bring an end to tho pnnl strike.

In modern i industry every one is dependent upoii every one else. It is the old story of the bellv and the members.' If any group nf members of our society refuses : to Perform its functions all of us suffer. SUGAR ONCE MORE The war is still going on and we are to have some more good old wartime sugar. Mr. Hoover, I it is true, is no longer our fqod commis sioner but President Wilson 'has confer ed his powers ipoa Attorney General Palmer. Mr. Palmer is a man who does things. Hear the good news: "Mr. Palmer's staff will begin imme diately to build up a sugar-distributing system which will allocate whatever that means all sugar stocks in this coun try. It will provide an equitable system of distributing supplies and will defeat any concentration or hoarding, officials say. Common sugar will be 17 cents." We are told our sugar refiners will go to Cuba and get some sugar to refine and pass on to us. Quick about it. Then the candy manuaeturer will have to do with less. Candy has been coming in by the barrel, sugar by the hundred pounds when it comes at all. But candy brings 30 cents a pound. And those soft drink dealers will have to do with less. They have had all they wanted of sy rups and soft drinks. Again we read: "The abnormal increase in sales of these articles candy and soft drinks and the consequent heavy drain on the sugar supplies is traceable officials de clared, to the enforcement of prohibi tion." Candy is good, but soft drinks are on ly slop. It is. time some reformer was forming a soft-drink teetotaler society. Mr. Palmer will see that less of the children's sugar goes to manufacture and make palatable the vile concoctions. Again the report says: "The Sugar Distributing Committee will sit constantly and will have entire charge of allocation, of stocks." We hope that it will allocate to the good old Tar Heel State right away. And let it put into effect the war time provision that allowed only so much sugar to a person, so that tne other tellow may not get all the sugar before we get to the store. a before - package during the war the war package NOW THE FLAVOR LASTS SO DOES THE PRICE!
