A We would not expect our representatives to formulate perfect plans, and, ten chances to one, we would all see some way in which the articles of agreement could be bettered, according to our personal view points. But we would have common sense and sound judgment enough to accept the results of the world effort in the light in which it would be placed before us amendatory and open to the requirements of the future. Especially, would we be anxious to do this in connection with questions so highly complicated and so difficult of being brought to the stage of world-wid- e issue as is the question of world peace. And, why in .the, name of common sense cant we be big enough to follow this method of procedure, in so far as it is pos- sible for us to follow it, now? Obviously, the answer is thig. Because of personal and party greed and avarice, due entirely to the mental poison which certain phases of our political systemlit- - buy from the traveling man and help pay his expenses and railroad fare and only bought about ten suits at a time, we would have to charge you the same as the small clothier. But we go direct to the factory, have two of the best clothing men possible to obtain that visits the best factories in the United States every week and have nothing else to do but to see that our suits are made the very best and have the very best of tailoring on same. You do not have to help pay this immense advertising bill, say of $5000 in one issue which you do have to help pay in making your purchases from the small dealer. We go direct to the factory, pay spot cash, take every discount possible to obtain and give the wearer the advantage of our close buying. This is something the small dealer cannot do as they buy in such small quantities that they have to charge you about $7.75 more on each and every suit they handle. Last year we add in the string of stores about 60,000 suits consequently saving our customers about $7.75 on an average on every suit. We have the newest and niftiest line of clothing in Midvale and can guarantee to save you the above on any good suit The J. C. Penney Co.

Under ideal con- ditions, under conditions in which politics and the venom thereof would be strangers, the question of ratification would never arise. Most assuredly, the question would never be subjected to the mercy, to the whims, of its political opponents. That the thing for which the nation and the world have already given tremendous amounts of their best blood should be left to the caprice of a clique, to shape anew or to slaughter outright, is a travesty on intellect and a disgrace to our national decency.
