With congress at recess and the Treaty of Versailles where the senate left it, compromise talk is taking place of extreme demands on part of its advocates. Those who vehemently cham pioned the League of Nations are scolding the majority of the senate for not having accepted the president's work, but even this is moderat ing as the inevitable appears more clearly. What form the compromise will assume is not indicated, although it is agreed by those who were deepest in the debate that the president should move first. So far he has given no in timation as to what concessions he may con sent All realize that extended debate has closed, that argument will be of no avail, and that if the United States is to have a part in the general peace it will be when the president and the senate are brought to agreement Sev eral ways of ending the situation has been sug gested, but each requires action from the White House. The sifence prevailing there may mean that a plan is .being wrought out It is Mr. Wilson's move. What The Bee Stands For: 1. Respect for the law and maintenance of order. 2. Speedy and certain punishment of crime . through the regular operation of the courts. 3. Pitiless publicity and condemnation of inefficiency lawlessness and corrup tion in office. 4. Frank recognition and commendation of honest and efficient public service. 5. Inculcation of Americanism as the true . basis of good citizenship. "Old Doc" Garfield lias the floor.

" History may , help reach a conclusion as to he value of the advice offered. . 1 Senator Lodge 8 i? ft. With; a jingle purpose always clearly in view, a purpose conceived of patriotism as lofty as ever inspired American statesmanship, Sen ator Lodge, the leader of the republican major ity in the United States senate, has now brought well' nigh to a triumphant conclusion his efforts to safeguard the independence of his country. In whatever form the victory of nationalism over internationalism is consummated, whether by lhe . rejection . outright of the interwoven treaty and covenant by the votes in the senate, which' have been servilely supporting that inter woven fraud, whether by its withdrawal from pernicious existence by the same hand that did the interweaving and thrust it upon the senate, demanding its ' unconditional acceptance, or whether by its reduction to. harmlessness through the Lodge reservations and the accom plishment of that which ; the . interweaver has boastfully declared to be beyond the power of man to do, the result is practically the same. The honors of the victory go equally to every senator, republican or democrat, who has helped to make victory possible. But it has fallen to Mr. Lodge more than to any other man to plan the course of concerted action. It has been his part to reconcile important and difficult differ ences as to method among those, even who were in patriotic accord as to general principles. His wise head has been the clearing house of the American opposition to the Wilson covenant. It has fallen to him likewise, because of his title of leadership and his unceasing efforts for the nation's disentanglement from the future which the president had prepared for it, to become the chief target of abuse from the proponents and organs of an internationalized America with a supergovernment at Geneva. Today he can well afford to smile back on those who have misrep resented his motives, denounced him for petty Solitics. ridiculed him as a wabbler, pictured im as a partisan obstructionist. The end is crowning the work. - ' The Sun thanks and congratulates Henry Cabot Lodge, and in so doing it believes it ex presses the sentiments of a great majority of the citizens of this town, this state and all the states. New York Sun, " Injunctions and Inviolable "Rights." Delegates to the "labor party" convention at Chicago boiled over yesterday, when prepar ing a petition to the congress, asking impeach ment of Judge Anderson of the federal bench for having enjoined the officials of the United Mine Workers of America from carrying on a strike. The demand is based on the assertion that Judge Anderson has invaded the personal rights of 400,000 citizens,, seeking to deprive them -of unrestricted exercise of those rights or else become in contempt of his court. This sounds formidable. It has fact for foundation. The judge did undertake to re strict these men in their action.. But why? Four hundred and twenty-five thousand coal miners, dissatisfied with the rate of pay al lowed them, have determined to put out of gear the entire machinery of the nation until their demands are met. One hundred million people are to be made to suffer because fewer than one-half of 1 per cent of their number have a grievance. It has been reported, and on reasonable authority, that some of these men have not been content with exercising their undeniable right to quit work, but they have insisted that others ido the same. They overlook the con stitutional right of another to work if he wants to. The whole thing simmers down to the proposition that these men want to have things their own way, and, whoever opposes them must therefore be wrong. When men get so they can look on both sides of a question, and cease to concentrate on their own interests, they may find that the constitutional guaranties to which they cling so fondly also carry some re sponsibilities. The right to strike is eqt to be gainsaid, but a strike that brings so much suf fering as that of the coal miners very soon loses public support, unless it has a stronger foundation than that it is legally permissible. Break Up of Bolshevism Missing Girls. One feature of the latest local murder mystery that must have impressed all who have followed the newspaper accounts of the affair is the num ber of girls whq are missing from accustomed places; not only from home, but from the haunts where they were known. Any of these may have real reason for withdrawing herself from friends and acquaintances, and the fact that she has dropped out of their orbit is not necessarily proof that she is in trouble or that she has been doing wijoiig. . The whole muddle indicates the careless way ini which some parts of our social life are man aged. Persons meet another in shop, store or office, work side by side during the business hours, -wash up, separate at the outside door, and see 110 more of each other until another day's work starts. Then,, when one doesn't show up when the whistle blows, a momentary in quiry is made, and the incident is forgotten. Another has stepped in and the machinery goes on. Here is a murdered woman positively iden tified as several different individuals, and rea son to think she is none of them. Her case is not isolated, for the story is told every day in cities of the modern world. The girl drops out of sight, never to reappear again. A murdered body is sent to the potter's field, and all that, is kept alive is the brief record in the coroner's office. The problem is one society in its present stage can not; dea with. When men and women know each other. better maybe a remedy will be found. Distorted Notion or a Joke. -It is quite probable that the Atlantan who disturbed the meeting at which Vice President Marshall was speaking by sending ina false re port of the death of -the" president was without malice in action. He thought it would be a "good joke," with no realization of the serious side of the affair. Every newspaper office is famaliar with this man. He loves to send in "news" over the telephone, or in unsigned let ters, generally statements harmless enough in themselves, but calculated to embarrass or annoy the victi.m Why heaven sends such fools to inflict the earth is unknown. They rank with a number of other pests to whom no util ity is ascribed, unless it be that assigned by Josh Billings to corns, which, he said, make a man forget his other troubles. People are pre vented from exterminating them as they do mosquitoes, flies and like vermin, but if there were a real fool-killer in the world, we feel cer tain he would how be somewhere along Peach tree street,, waiting for a resident of Atlanta to come out into the open. " The result of the war justified the training course adopted, according to the inspector gen eral of the army. But if it had been put into operation a year or two sooner the result would have been that much more satisfactory. A British flag has been trampled upon in New York, which ought to evea up for the affront offered the American flag at Rutland by a Canuck. These little exchanges of amenity are scarcely pebbles in the stream.. If we are still at war, and all the extraor dinary powers vested in jthe president are yet in his control why not exercise some of them to set the mines into operation? . People need coal as badly as at any time during the war. ' The way Nebraska- farm land is changing hands suggests that a lot of successful farmers are getting out of the game to give others a chance to achieve a compete; J From the Baltimore American. . Even in Russia the soviet government is rapidly taking on more conservative features. Were the country opened to trade by the lifting the blockade, the influences that make for the alteration of the government would be in active effect Bolshevism is a political nightmare and a social disease. It is only possible in a coun try socially and politically ruined and steeped in misery and ignorance. It was possible there only through the acute activity of menwhose principal asset is malice toward human kind. There is nothing that corresponds with the conditions under which Russia went daft to be found in any other country upon the face of the globe. The efforts made by agents of the bol she vist leaders of Russia to spread the g-Pl of bolshevism have been an utter failure. The terror that the name inspired when the Spar tacans were carrying on revolts in Germany, and when Hungary fejl for, a time under influ ences of the same order, long since has passed away. The nations did not go mad, the peo ples did' not become insane, and so bolshevism has failed. In the elections in F.s;:ce . the reds have been utterly crushed. Premier Clemenceau's group of republican parties has at all points beaten the outright radicals and the latter reg istered the biggest vote they ever will again in a French election. This election wrote the end of discord and points the way for the full swing of reconstruction. Bolshevism belongs to the era and condition of destruction. That era has proved short-lived in many of the countries emerging froni the war. In the far future Ger many will make a" great deal of its claim for having Stamped out the bolshevist brands that were leaping into blaze in western Europe. The grip of the allies upon Germany did more to stamp out bolshevism than any acts of the gov ernment itself; nevertheless, credit will be given the sense of discipline and order of the German' people that kept them from falling into the snare of the Lenine conspiracy. The elec tion in France was due to the poilus, the vet erans of the war lining up solidly against the radicals. Here the last hope of the reds failed. They were foolish enough to profess that the veterans of the great wa would swarm to their internationalist terrorist banners. The same story is told in England, where the v premier has given assurance that the bolshevist danger for Europe has definitely passed. In the United States efforts to create a labor conspiracy with such shining ligts as Foster of the steel union in action, atyi with a view to bring under radical control the great groups of . American labor has proven an outright U fiasco. While the miners' officials talked strong ly, when the test came they could not see red if they tried. There was' no labor revolution, there was 110 fight with the government, there was nothing that the reds had counted upon. The effort to bring about soviet conditions in the United States has proven as farcical as most level-headed persons knew it would. Labor conditions remain as thev were before the tam- Npering with them by the radicals. When the miners and operators come to conclusions they will do so under the compulsion of public sen timent and various practical intimations of the last word belonging to the consumer. The reds ar.fj out of the reckoning. Here is the record to date of the widely heralded campaign of the bolshevists to carry out their program of terrorism throughout the entire world, and particularly to. lay their syn dicalist hands upon the United-States. The absolute crushing out of the reds is the present employment of the government. This will be' carried! to the point of making utterly impos sible any coalition of conspiracy for the defeat of the union of the states and peoples as one and inseparable. The ignorant and malicious reds, made up mostly of persons who are men without a country, have been taught the lesson that there is nothing in the world comparable to the solidarity and power of the American democratic , spirit. Those Russians who had their opportunity in the land of the free and yet long for the flesh pots of bolshevistic dic tatorship and political .orgie will probably be accommodated with transportation back home.

Field Centenary. . Sunday, November SO, will be the 108th anniversary of the birth of Cyrus W. Field, merchant, capital ist, and projector of the cable which "moored the New World alongside the Old " Historical, commercial and other organizations on both sides of the Atlantic are. preparing for an appropriate observance of the centenary. More especially will the anniversary be observed In New Tork City, where Mr. Field, lived and labored during the greater part of his life, and at Stockbrldge, Mass., the place of his birth. Cyrus W. Field was one of four brothers who achieved wide fame in their particular lines of endeavor. The others were Justice Stephen J. Field of the supreme court of the United States, David Dudley Field, member of congress and one of the greatest law authorities of his time, and Henry Martyn Field, who was famous both as an author and clergyman. At the age of 15, equipped with a common school education, Cyrus w. Field came to New. York and started his career as a clerk in the store of Alexander T. Stewart. In 1838 he becp.me a salesman for his brother, who had a paper mill in Massachu setts, and two yars later he enter ed business a a paper manufacturer on his own account. Within a year his firm failed and he set about to pay. the debts and reinstate himself In business. In these endeavors ho was so successful that within littls more than 10 years he had wiped out all of his indebtedness and had enougrh left over to retire from'ac tlve business with what was con sidered at that time an ample for tune. I About the year 1854 Mr. Field was solicited to invest capital iri a project for the establishment of sub marine connection between New foundland and the North American continent. It was while investigat ing this matter that he conceived the project for a telegraphic - cable under the Atlantic to connect Amer ica with Europe. With Peter Cooper, Moses Taylor and other noted capitalists of that day Mr. Field organized and charter ed the New York, Newfoundland and Indon Telegraph company For 13 years -he devoted his entire time to the project, making many trips to Europe, obtaining the nee- ewsary concessions, soliciting addi tional capital, and superintending the manufacture of the cable. Tn 1858 Mr. Field and his asso ciates aw the reward of their courage and faith. In August of that year the first cable was cofn plfted from Trinity Bay, Newfound land, to Valencia, Ireland. ThiSA'a hle, laid after four failures, was 2.500 miles long, weighed a ton to the mile and the cost of .the project was SI. 834. GOO. The line was open ed with an exchange of greetings br tween Queen Victoria- and President Buchanan. For six weeks messages were sent between America and i.u rooe. but they were of an experi mental nature, and the cable was iifiver opened to the public. At the j rtl-with an exchange of greetings be i rln'vn utterlv. ; . 1 I Seven years uassed before the work was resumed and the famous Great Eastern made its memorable vnvnse. The cable laid that time parted after a single trial, and then another year elapsed. The broken ends were picked up and spliced and from that dav to this cable commu nication under the Atlantic has not reaped. - There are . now . nearly a score of tables between America and Europe, and many more under other oceans more than 230,000 miles of ocean cable in all. ! In recognition of his eminent serv ir.es the congress of the United States voted Mr. Field a. cold medal and the thanks of the nation. Great liritain, France and other nations likewise bestowed honors upon him. Great universities conferred honor ary degrees upon him and he was elected to fellowship In tne most prominent learned societies 01 America and Europe. -, ' ForBoystoMake kjaaja,. gaj gaaj tflpjsjH mmmm mm .feM kanBl' How to Build a Bobsled. . Br GRANT M. HYDE. ; The snow will soon be here and, if we are to have a bobsled this win ter, it is time to begin work on it. There are many ways of building double runners or bobsleds and. since most boys know the general plan, this will be confined to special parts that cause difficulty. Sleds Many boys build home made sleds for a bobsled, but it is FROM HERE AND THERE. Black diamonds come from . the province of Bahiu, in Brazil.

Plank One should really use hardwood, but that is very expen sive now and, if the load is not go ing to be too heavy and care is taken in selecting the plank, straight-grained white pine will do. Use the 2x10 size (really 1x9). Lifts The lifts supporting the plank should be very strong and low to keep the weight near the ground. They are sometimes made of 2x0 material. Another way is to .use hardwood 2x4s as shown in the sketch. Section A is a 2x4 about nine and one-half inches, long and section B is a 2x4 about 26 inches long, shaped to serve as outrigger support. Section A should be fas tened to the top of the sled with ringbolts or similar device to give the sled rocker motion. Spike plank to B. On the (front sled, the two sections of the lift should be held together by . a long one-half inch kingbolt (C).! Build the lift of the rear sled in the same way but use two kingbolts at E and F. Outriggers A bobsled should have outriggers to save legs in tip overs. The best material is 2 inch maple flooring, set on edge and fastened to several crosspicces shaped like B. Steering-ySteering wheels or similar devices are likely to weaken the support in front or prove un trustworthy. The best steering ap paratus is a 1x2 oak or maple cross- piece, at least two iecj long, acepiy notched at each endT and j fastened across the front' end of tne plank.
