Back of that, added the presi- dent, lay the fact that the world jhad not yet learned what the \|peace status would be. “The world is not going to set- {tle down,” he said, “until it j{learns what part the United States is to play in the peace.” He continued that this was the only nation which would have enough free capital in the near future to rehabilitate the world economically. Solons Cheer Wilson The legislature which began yesterday an extraordinary ses- sion to consider the high cost of living and other subjects, re- iceived the president with cheers. He was introduced by Gover- nor J. A. A. Burnquist, who said Minnesota hoped there would be |some arrangement to prevent fu- lture wars. The president congratulated ‘the legislature on its ratification yesterday of the federal women’s First of all, Mr. Wilson said, ; the commerce of the world ago- jing’ by the establishment of'| peace. After that, he continued, * that must be answered, mention- FALLING HORSE BREAKS BACK OF LITTLE RIDER Ten-Year-Old Morton County Girl Will Be Helpless Cripple, If She Survives Mandan, N. D., Sept. 9.—Matilda Weisgerber, a ten-year old girl is the Mandan hospital with a broken back and other injuries from which it is doubtful if she will recover, as a result of having a horse fall on her late Saturday night. The little girl, who is a stepdaugh- ter of John Gress of Sweet Brair, was visiting with her grandmother, Mrs. Chris Schaff at St. Anthony, and Saturday evening she mounted a horse and while riding, the horse trip- ped and fell, the girl being thrown from the horse's back and the full weight of the horse fell on her. Her back was broken and her lower: limbs and some of the internal organs are paralyzed. But slight hopes are ing among other things that rail- way facilities in this country were not equal to the demand. “Monkeying” to Stop. | .Having established a world settle- ment economically, Mr Wilson declar- ed it was imperative that there be an arrangement to insure “that no- body monkey with the process” set} up. Turning to the relation of labor and} capital, the president said that labor- ing men everywhere were dissatisfied with their relations to their employers. That was true abroad he added in a larger measure than in the United States. Referring to the treaty provision for an international labor organization Mr. Wilson said there was a way to ‘bring a definite solution to the prob- lem. He asserted that in this solution the United States was expected by the world to set a standard and lay down the principles. t Capital and Labor As a basis for the solution the pres- ident suggested that the interests of labor and capital must be reorganized as identical and the two ought to be reasonable enough to get together. When it was realized that labor was not a commodity and a real cO-opera- tion had been established production would increase “by leaps and bounds” and that would be one element in re- at entertained for her recovery, but if she does live physicians say she will ducing the cost of living.

They have paid: little at- ‘ntion to the debates in the Senate. don’t know whether Shantung in Jugo-Slavia or in Africa; they heye simply heard somewhere that there’s a row on about it, : They may have been wondering why the United States hasn’t ratified the treaty as France and Great Bri- tain have, but beyond that they are vastly more interested in the high cest of living and the possibility of lnbor troubles than they are in the League of Nations. This attitude the president is changing. He is pounding home the niece for immediate ratification of the peace treaty so that the world may Immediately derive the benefits it provides; he is urging upon _ his audiences that they awake from their lethargy and demand of the Senate that it accept the League of Nations and help to make war impossible. He’s getting his message over in a buman way that is somewhat unlike his usual scholarly addresses, “When the League of Nations is ac- cepted,” he told his audience at Co- lumbus, “the boys in khaki won't have to cross the ocean any more!” Nothing about Shantung; not a word about Fiume or Armenia or British votes in the league council— just that appeal to mothers, wives and sweethearts that goes to their hearts: “Your boyg won’t have to cross the ocean any more!” Ohio wasn’t getting excited about the League of Nations or throwing up its hat over it. The cost of living was getting much more space in the news- papers and in public conversation than the treaty. “Nobody's talking about the League of Nations, although I guess most everyhody is for it,” Charles E. Mor- ris, Governor Cox’s secretary, told me, before President Wilson had made his Columbus speech. “They ARE talking about the high cost of ing, though.” And even Thomas E.' Powell, leader of the opposition forces in Ohio, ad- mitted that if a referendum were held on the League of Nations in the state, few people would take the trou- ble to vote. “We can’t get the people aroused against it,” he said. After the president spoke, people left the hall vowing they would write to their senators and demand the treaty be ratified. They were frankly disappointed be- ceuse the president, had not discussed the problem of how to make a dollar buy a dollar’s worth of food instead of 50 cents’ worth. They had also hoped to hear him tell what he pro- posed to do to prevent a railway strike, and to bring permanent peace between capital and labor. But the president had chosen to confine his address to sounding the keynote of his ratification’ campaign. He did not even urge ratification on the ground that it would reduce the cost of living, as he has done before. “I am not debating the treaty; I am expounding it.” he said. and it was plain that his explanation had gone home. Where Borah and Johnson. and Lodge and Knox are appealing to the minds of the people, President Wil- ne is jBbpealing: to ae Ce ere is ino dou! a mh at: least, has awakened from toward the peace treaty, 2 io what it
