WILSON TO MAKE SUPREME
EFFORT TO SAVE TREATY.
President Is Writing Vigorous
A Message to Congress and May
Make Dramatic Personal Ap
pearance.
Wasliingh e. President Wi’anr
within ten days wiil make his su
pieme effort to end inroads of thi
Bolsheviki into America’s social
structure and make the United
States a member of the League of
Nations.
Shaking off the illness which has
clung to him for weeks, the presi
dent today was working vigorous
ly on two state documents which
be intends shall be he most compel
ling of his entire career. One of
these is the message to congress to
b 6 delivered December 1. and the
other the message to the industrial
commission, called to bring about
peace between labor and capital,
which probably Avill convene here
the same day that congress meets.
President Wilson is writing a!
strong appeal to congress to again
take up and ratify the peace treaty
it was learned. Knowing the situa
tion in the senate, he is not devot
ing any time to phrasing denuncia
tion of the opposition leader’s, it
was understood, but instead he is
preparing an argument which the
administration hopes will bring
about a compromise and speedy
ratification. If it doesn’t then the
president is ready to see the fight
carried into the 1920 national elec
tion in which, however, he will not
participate beyond urging voters
regardless of party affiliations, to
demonstrate they want the United
Sates to join the League of Na
tions.
The address to the industrial
commission of seventeen, includ
ing Secretary of Labor Wilson,
v ill place the industrial future of
America squarely in the hands of
thos| men. imposing upon them
the responsibility for bringing
peace and stopping the progress of
Red doctrine in this country, it
was learned.

LAMAR & PERRY
President Wilson is anxious to
go before congress and deliver his
message in person and he also
wants to make a personal appear
ance at the first session of the in
dustrial commission and have a
“man to man” talk with the dele
gates. This is opposed by his physi
cians, who feel it is out of the
question for him to undergo so se
vere a nervous strain when he is
scarcely out of his sick bed. The
president, however, lias been
known to be very stubborn on oc
casion and he asserts his own
health is nothing compared with
success in the treaty fight. There
fore it is believed it will be hard
to keep him in the White House
on December 1. A dramatic ap
pearance of the executive before
congress to make one more effort
to secure ratification of what he
considers his life’s greatest work
would not surprise his friends
here.
BETTER COUNTRY SCHOOLS A
FUNDAMENTAL NEED
If one has children, it goes with
out saying that there is nothing
more important for them than
nearness to a thoroughly efficient
school. Your child has only one
life to live. What a tragedy if lie
should go through life with only
his physical nature developed but
not his more godlike mind and
soul!
Equally important is a good
school to the community as a
whole. Othr people judge a neigh
borhood by the character of school
it supports. Moreover, the pre
sence of a good school gives the
citizens greater pride in themsel-
vcs and greater confidence in
themslves. Taxes spent for the
maintenance of a good school con
stitute not an expenditure but an
investment. How often does one
find in special tax districts some
farm whose owner violently op
posed the extra school tax, but
whose land almost doubled in val
ue because of the better school the
THE BARROW TIMES, WINDER, GEORGIA
tax brought! There is hardly a
community in the South where the
school is poor that has not lost
some good citizen for this reason.
Similarly, there is hardly a com
munity with a good school in
which that school has not attract
ed one or more good citizens to
the neighborhood.
To farmers as a class also, good
country schools are of the highest
importance. Farmers have not
heretofore had a square deal from
the Government, and the only way
they can propertly remedy this
condition is by education. An ig
norant people may rise up in an
ger and bring about a revolution;
but while an ignorant people may
destroy, they cannot rebuild. Rus
sia today seems to be a living wit
ness of this fact. An ignorant peo
ple has destroyed an old govern
ment. but is not able to set anew
system which will insure peace
and prosperity. A seeing Samson
could destroy his enemies and save
himself, but a blind Samson could
only pull down the temple on him
self and his enemies in one gener
al ruin. So it is when a people are
blind through ignorance.
For all these reasons every read
er should think seriously about
the important tilings needed to
make his neighborhood school
serve the great purpose it ought to
serve in enriching the lives of our
children, building up the com
munity. and promoting the inter
ests of farmers as a class. —The
