MR. WILSON AND THE~PACT.
It is being intimated that Senator Borah, leader of the irre-
concilablcs on the Republican side in the United States Senate,
is getting a considerable portion of his ammunition against the
ratification of tho four power pact from former President Wil
son.
It is not alleged that they have been in consultation but it is
raid that they have been keeping up a lively correspondence and
that he considers the four power pact a very dangerous alliance
and that is certain to bring war sooner or later, and that under
Us terms the Unitod States surrenders a considerable portion of
"its sovereignty.
If it be true that Mr. Wilson is opposed to the ratification of
this pact, it would he far better for him and for the Democratic
party that ho should come right out in an open address to the
American people and state his grounds. The Democrats are en
titled to know his views first of all if he has any to express.
It may be that Mr. Wilson holds these views and it may be
that his views are perfectly sound. On the Burfaco it looks like
tho Democrats who are opposing the ratification of the pact are
standing in the same position as the Republicans who opposed the
ratification of the Versailles treaty, although it must be confessed
that tho proposed four power pact is nothing compared to the
? Versailles treaty so far as guaranteeing tiie rights of all nations
is concerned. It is more like one of the old diplomatic alliances.
The fact iB that if Mr. Wilson really believes that this pact is
' 6 monaco to tho American nation he should come right out and
say so and not be giving his views out to the people in a round
about way through a leading Republican senator.
It may be that not even the members of his own party would
agree with him but it is certainly proper that the party that
honored him with two elections to the presidency and ratified at
the San Francisco convention his stand on the League of Nations
should bo the ono organization to have the benefit of his views if
he wishes to express any on this important subject.
WW}'?t ‘ s doubtful whether a man in the physical condition of the
-rfKrinor president should take upon himself nny burden such as
vrould come through active participation in the discussion of great
jptlblic movements, but if he docs decide to take part in such dis
cussions they should be through Democratic channels.

PROVISION FOR MORE SEWERS.
L 'JT'In any bond issue that may be called by the city of Athens
1 thttfe should bo an ample provision for the extension of the sewer
lines of the city. Of course that would call for the extension of
the water lines in many instances, for wherever there are sew-
In use there must be water supply.
. „ . Apy sewer line can bo made to pay for itself. The sewer rents
qn a. line where there is at.least an average number of houses
will amount to enough to at least pay the interest on the invest
ment and provide a smalt sinking fund for the redemption of the
ljqnfis at maturity. The sewer system of Athens at present is an
itieQSU! bearing proposition. Thus the proposition to vote sewer -
’bifida is a little different from that to vote any other kind of
. binds.
• There is no question about sewers being the best of all facili-
for the preservation of the health of a city. There are some
Ions of the city that have no sewers and in those sections the
/linens necessarily cannot have the game health protection as
the citizens of other sections that are well sewered. The mayor
and council never fails to provide sewers where the money is
available to put in the mains and make the water supply avail-
able. In somo instances where the required line is short, the coun-
cfl-can rake up the money to make the improvement but where
tho line is long and more or less expensive the mayor and coun
cil cannot spend the money out ci the general taxes and a bond
. iaaua becomes necessary. Two or three long lines of main sewers
KO required just now to improve tho sewerage facilities of Ath-
qjjs. It would not cost a fabulous sum to provide them. In fadt
they can bo provided at much less cost than one might at first
thought imagine. To include a modest amount in the next bond
; {j;iuo for sewerago would not burden the city. It Would result in
CvpSfit good In a health way.
UNITED STATES AND GENOA CONFERENC!
% '-' The United States government has answered the invitation
tally to this country to send representatives to the Genoa con-
ce find has politely declined the invitation on the ground
it the conference is not primarily an economic conference but
rather political in its nature and that the United States could
lelpfully participate.
e decision, of the United Stales government in this matter
ectly in accord with what is proper under the circum
stances. The United States is not a member of the League of Na-
. tions.- This government kicked that document into the fire and
choSe-io go it alone. It would do no good for this government to
thke part in a conference that involves the political reconstruc-
, tlori of Europe.
Had the League of Nations been established with this country
if ttMR'lber, there would have been no necessity for the Genoa con
ference. The affairs of the world would have been running
. s^bothly by this time.

“^tef-for the conference to meet and say what it needs and then

oast exposure is generally best in
a sick room. A south room may he
undesirable in hot weather, but
sunshine during at least a part of
the day is essential. The room
should be quiet, near the bath
room, well removed from the odors
of the kitchen nnd situated so that
good ventilation is possible. It is
desirable but not absolutely neces
sary that it have more than one-
window, und in Bummer the win
dows should be thoroughly screen
ed. The bed should be placed so
that tho window mny be opened

It is essential for the patient to
havo n room to himself. Unless
he needs care or watching at night
not even the person caring for him
should sleep in the room, and oth
er members of the family should
never keep thciR po$sossion» in
the sick room or in closets open
ing into it. Far the time being the
room should belong exclusively to
the patient.
Every possible precaution should
be taken to exclude from a sick
room unnecessary noises of nil

doors and rocking chairs, heels

nnd vice versa. Whispering is an
anr.oving sound nnd should not bo
allowed cither in the patient’s

Whatever the subject of conversa
tion mny be, the patient thinks
that he himself is under discussion.
Anything undosiraMo for him to
hear should bo settled out of his
hearing, and in speaking to him
there is no possible objection to an
ordinary well-modulated voieo.
Usually a person’s own room is
more restful to him nnd less dis
turbing than a strange place, but
if it serves as a workroom as well
as a bed room it may easily be the
worst place during nicltness. The
sight of a desk piled high with
papers or a basket overflowing
with family mending may nct-tfal-
ly delay recovery. The room itself
may suggest work left undone,
and so have a bed effect. Mental
rest is no less important than phy
sical, and every effort should be
made to insure both. »
