One year .... JRrreTYeS = WHERE REAL COURAGE LIES. " (Minneapolis Tribune.) ‘A democratic United States senator was author of the meaningful remark to newspaper men in Washington that the president “hag many friends on the floor of the senate, and few It is a sad but true commentary on the courage or lack of| - courage that makes “rubber stamps” of so many members of the senate minority on the treaty question. alchemy of some kind the cloakroom courage of subservient democrats could be transmuted into senate floor courage, it probably would not take longer than 48 hours for the two parties to reach an agreement whereby the peacé treaty could be ratified and sent along to Mr. Wilson. - It is common talk in and out of Washingtoy that if demo- cratic senators acted independently on their owstbest judgment, there are enough of them, together with republican adherents of:the reservation program, to ratify the treaty. There prob- ably would need to be some slj terms to attain this end. There fication would be made very readily if enough democratic sen- ators came out into the open and asserted their freedom from If by a political t modification of the Lodge small doubt that such modi- ! Supporters of the Lodge reservation program have shown their courage. They have stuck to their guns despite Mr. Wil- son’s frank boasts that the preponderance of American senti- ment and citizenship sustaing him in his position. Let us have a like degree of courage from tHose democratic senators who are known to be restless to throw off the White House Leash. It ought not to require so much courage to vote for ratification with reservations as it does to stand by the president in this Such referendum expressions at the polls as there have been all tend to show that a majority of the people dis- instance. approve of the president’s stubborn position in opposition to the senate majority. The senators are responsible, not to Mr. .'"Wilson, but to their constituents, for their stewardship. Their future political careers are up to themselves and the people, ‘and not up to a marr who is ‘well toward the end of his second ‘term in the White House. Qi .

When the refining price was fixed at 9 cents by the sugar equalization board, it allowed a‘'profit of one-half cent a pound to wholesalers and one cent to retailers, retail price 1014 cents. or considerably less than the prevailing retail price. i T}}e_ statement of the refining company disclosed that it is declining all export business until sugar conditions in this country become easier and that in 1919 it delivered more sugar to the domestic ttade than in-several years. e e OREGON LEGISLATURE RATIFIES SUFFRAGE ACT.
