By Mount Clemens News Bureau.
St. Louis. — Displaying a high
confidence that his fellow-citi
-sens in the great majority agree with
him in his desire to end war forever.
#nd that they will see to it that tne
pe&oe treaty with its League of Nv
lions, inclusion is ratified by the Sen
ate, President Wilson is making a
ruccessful way across the country on
the long Journey he has undertake;!
for the purpose of laying before the
plain people a report of his work in
Paris and explaining to them Just
what the League me.yis.
Thus far in his travels he has ev
erywhere met with warm greetings,
both in the great halls where he has
spoken formally and in the little
cross-road hamlets where his train
has halted at times and he has ex
changed words with the villagers who
pressed forward to greet him. He
feels, and does not hesitate to say so
when chatting with his traveling com
panions, that the) American people
want no more of war and want to be
come part of the League so that there
may be no more war. He struck his
keynote when he said in his first ad
dress, in Columbus. O.:
"This treaty was not intended
merely to end this single war. It is
meant as a notice to evp-v govern
ment who in the future will attempt
this thing (what Germany attempted)
that mankind will unite to inflict tne
same punishment. There' Is no na
tional triumph to he recorded in tins
treaty. There is no glory sought for
sny particular nation The thought of
the statesmen collected around trial
table was of their people, of the suf
ferings they had gone through, of the
losses they had incurred, of that great
throbbing heart, which was so forlorn,
so sad in every memory it had of the
five tragical years that have gon£ by.
Let us never forget those years, my
fellow-countrymen; let ns never for
get the purnose. high and distinter
ested, with which America lent its
strength, not for its own g?ory by
the defense of mankind.
"As I said, this treaty was not in
tended merely to end this war. It
was intended to prevent any similar
war. I wonder If some of the opp>
nents of the League of Nations have
forgotten the piVtmises we made our
people before we went to that peace
table. We had taken by process of
law the flower of our youth frortt ev
ery countryside, from every house
’hold. and we told those fi others and
fathers and sisters and wives an!
fVeethearts that we were taking
those men to fight a war which would
end business of that sort, and if we
do not end it, if we do not do the
best that human concert of action can
do to end it, we are of all men the
most unfaithful—the most unfaithful
to the lovfng hearts who suffered in
This war. the most unfaithful to those
households bowed in grief and yet
lifted with the feeling that the lad
laid down his life for a great thing,
and. among other things, in order
that other lads might never have to
do the same fh'n"

Mon is for—to end this war justly
and then not merely to serve notice
on governments which could contem
plate the same things Germany con
templated that they will do so at
their peril. But also concerning the
combination of powrer which will
prove to them that they will do it at
their peril. It is idle to say the
world’s will combine against you; but
it is persuasive to say the world’s is
cor’vnpd against you. The League
of Nations is the only thing that can
‘ prevent the recurrence of this drea:l
f”l catastrophe and redeem our prom
ises.”
A League of Nations wrould have
prevented the late conflict, the Presi
dent asserted, explaining:
T did not rp«et a single public
man who did not admit three things:
That Germany would not have gone
Into this war if she thought Great
Britain was going into it. and that
she most certainly would never have
gone into it had she dreamed America
was going Into it, and they all admit
that a nation beforehand knowing
that the greatest powers of the wor! 1
would combine to prevent this sort of
ihing would prevent it absolutely.”
Applause and cheers greeted eacn
declaration of rhe President that wars
relent be avoided in future vy the ope
rations of the League.
He pointed out other important
fea1uves of ihe peace treaty—how it
Tgas the redemption of weak nations,
ro'ving them freedom which otherwise
ihey nev<T could have won. Howr it
says: “There people have a right to
live their own lives under govern
ments which they themselves choose”
and how “That is the American prin
rinle and T was glad to fight,for It.”
That was the very heart of the treaty,
he said.
He drew' attention to the section
of the treaty which is a "Magna
f harta of labor” whi?h shall dispose
rf the hours, conditic ns and remune
| rations of labor. “It forecasts the
i day”, he said, "which ought to liavo
I tome long ago, w'hen statesman wIII
j fealixe that, no nation is fortunat#
Which Is not happy, whose people ar»
— * er>nt«nied in thetr
fires and fortunate 1n the circum

FORCE-ACCOUNT SYSTEM
One of the plans suggested
by the State Highway De
partment to meet the increas
ing cost of road building is
the adoption of what te call
ed the force-account system.
This means that the Com
missioner of a district, in
stead of awarding a contract
for the work, buy or rent the
equipment, buy the material,
and do the work themselves
under the direction of a com
petent superintendent who is
experienced in road construc
tion.
Up to the present tim^,
only one district in the state,
that being Distric No.* 1, in
Boone county, has adopted
the plan, but others are con
siderng it.
The theory is that the
overhead expenses of the
contract system plus the con
tractors’ profits. The De
partment has concluded an
arragement with the Board of
Public Roads at Washington
whereby the force account
plan will be recognized in the
granting of Federal aid.
The Highway Department, in
conjunction so that there may
be uniformity.

Pauline McFall are numbered

WANTS TO HELP OTHERS
Mrs. A. G. Wells, R. F. D.
Rocky Mount, N. C., writes:
“I cannot praise Foley Kid
rev Pills enough for the won
derful benefits I have derived
from their use. Please pub
lish this statement as I want
the neople everywhere to know
of them.” Lame back, sore
muscles, puffiness under eves,
and an “always tired” feeling
are indications that the kid
nevs and bladder are not
working properlv. Folev Kid
nev Pills strengthen weak, dis
ordered kidnevs and bladder.
