(By Tbt Associated Prtu.)
- Washington, July 30. Patriotism of
men who bold differing vie on the
wudora of ratifying tlia peace treaty,
lacluding the League of Nations cove
nant, it not to be challenged "to long at
, they think above the plane of partisan
hip," Secretary Lane deelared here to
night before a masa meeting of govern
ment employei. .
"It is not an easy question to answer,"
Mr. Lane said, adding that it was one
"to which we wish an American answer'
"And it takes courage," he declared,
"whether we stand still and risk the
scorn of a waiting, eager world, or break
through our inertia and take' the step
, that leads to. a multitude of new rela
tionships and possible obligations."
The view of the ordinary citizen the
Secretary said he thought waa that as
many . obstacles as possible be put in
the way of nations desiring to make war
"but to be left as free as possible to
follow our own designs, knowing tent
these do not endanger the peace of .be
world.
"We will not hazard our nationul life
or the right of our people to determine
their own institutions and destiny," he
said. But with these safeguarded we
: will go far for the aake of the world.
"Democrat"? after all is but a count
' ing of noses,'' Mr. Lane said, "and we
may presume much for a policy which
the chosen leaders of the two hundred
and ''fifty million of the most civilized
of the world s people' have endorsed.
Mr. Lane said be believed rveryone
would have preferred that the Learue
should have been born "in a different
way, at a different time.'' When Theo
- dore Roosevelt returned from his trip
to Africa, he added, the former Presi
dent made the strongest appeal any na
tional leader had then voiced for such
a leas-tie.
"Then was-the day for its creation,"
Secretary Lane continued. "But the
world did not see the danger it was in."
Such men as President Taft and Mr.
Root committed themselves to the pro
ject then, Mr. Lane said, but "the stern
figure of the Kaiser backed by his
standing army of two million men"
stood in their path. William Jennings
' Bryan, as Secretary of tate, had moved
in the same direction with bin negotia
tion of arbitration treaties, Mr. Lane
continued, adding;
Bryaa'a Foresiiht.
"Let vt be frank:Wr of America
did not take these efforts of Mr. Bryan
with any degree of seriousness. We
thought his a noble-minded visionary
let his plan is incorporated as toe nrai
step of the pyramid of the present
proposed league.
It was not until the war fame that
toward the formation of a peace league,
Mr. Lane said, anil if the President had
no! made the effort to secure it "we
world have said he was a quitter."
No Surrender of Rights,
fleer clary Lane said, he had been tin
able to find in the covenunt any sur
render of American rights mere than
every editing rule et international
' law involved. It waa, he said, "es
sentially a gentlemen's agreement,"
based on the assumption that eaeh party
to it honestly desired to adhere to the
--preip!-far nhkllJhe league stands.

(8peeial to Newt and Observer.)
Wilson, July 30. Before the incom
ing of the new city administration aa
ordinance waa enacted prohibiting any
carnival showing ia the corporate limits
of, Wilson. About a week or tea days
agp the advanes agent for a carnival
came to Wilson and: in company with
Polic Chief Dickens went to the al
dermen separately and represented hat
the fir department desired that hit
company pitch their tentt hers for a
week's benefit for the lire-fighters.
Three) of the aldermen consented to
vote to rescind the ordinance; one'of
the number refused to aay positively
what hV would do but the "silent" al
derman from the Third Ward, gave the
agent the emphatic no and gave ! his
reason -for the stand he took, and that
he would make himself thoroughly un
derstood when the board was called to
gether.
Ia the meantime an intensive adver
tising campaign Wat put on and pleas
ure seekers began to. whoop it up for
the firemen, but when "the city fath
ers" put their heads together they
found that the matter had been misrep
resented to thens and they refused to
rescind the ordinance.
On being -interviewed the earnival
agent aayt: "I have no choice ia the
matter; I have a contract with the fire
company and with the railroad to Iring
my shows to Wilson and will be here
next Monday. Have employed eouuel
and aa far as the earnival ia concerned
we are resting easy en our oars.1'
It was rumored and even printed in
a local newspaper that there waa dia
cord between the firemen and alder
men on account of the action taken by
the board.
Chief Lancaster, of the Fire Depart
ment, aayt: "There ia no truth in the
rumor. I feel aure that the city alder
men acted for the best interetta of the
city and the department baa no griev
ance against them for the action taken
la the matter t there'll be aa resigna
tions from the department from the fsct
that we lavariably get what we ask for

Count
the
cost
after two years
THERE are many methods of cost accounting
used in figuring maintenance and operating ex
penses of trucks, but every system recognizes that
time spent in the repair shop is a dead loss.
"Money saved" by buying cheap equipment is
soon eaten up by the time lost during repairs, to
say nothing of the money spent on repairs. The
pwner is-left with an impaired truck that is prac
tically worthless except as a "trade-in" to induce
him to repeat the experience.
After one or two experiments like this, most
owners learn that built-in quality is true economy
and costs less in a very short time
Owners know the real economy of Pierce-Arrows.
