SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 Back Again - The peace treaty is reported on its way to the White House for a second yisit. It is to be hoped that the wel- come given it there will not be affect- ed by the earlier history of the docu- ment in Washington. Nothing is more important to the success of the Harding administra- tion, from the point of view of the citizen who wishes to see the gov- ernment administered in the best interest of the nation as a whole, than the willingness of the President to break away from what has marked th® past and to be free from con- sideration of inconsistency. No one is a sufficiently ardent Re- publican to wish that the new ad- ministration should be bound by the conduct of the Republican Congress of the last administration. An open mind, freedom to change his position where it is for the benefit of the na- tion that there be such change and an indifference to the career of the peace treaty in the last two years must be President Harding's attitude toward our relations with the nations of Europe. We" shall have no pro- gress unless there is evidence of this independence of thought and action. France is evidently eager to know what is the real thought of the new administration. For that reason comes the man who knows the peace situation as perhaps nobody else in France does know it, to have person- al interview with the President of the United States. He is obviously under the impression that Mr. Hard- ing's position when a member of the Senate is not necessarily that which he will hold as President. The Am- erican people will hope for a satis- factory end to the visit of the former premier almost, if not quite, as eager- ly as the people of France. What- ever will help to clear the atmosphere in the matter of the peace treaty and to solve the question of the adjust- ment of what has been done and what is yet to be done to meet the obligations of this country toward the rest of the world and to put us in the right relationship with both our recent friends and our recent enemies, will be gratefully welcomed by the American public. We hope that M. Viviani will come to Washington with a disposition to consider the attitude of the Amer- ican government toward the peace 'treaty from the point of view of the American public and that President Harding will be able to forget all that was said and done in the Senate of the last Congress, that the two will be able to rid their minds of obscur- ing prejudices and get at the treaty in a way to reach an adjustment fair d one in accordance Bh of the United States and for the cementing of the friend- ship between this country and our late allies. EL ta EL KAA Cleaning out-cellars and building summer cottages are examples of temporary jobs with the St. Paul, Minn., employment bureau and Wom- en's auxiliary of the American Legion have obtained for more than six hnudred unemployed veterans after an appeal has been made to every employer and householder in that city. The average compensation for temporary employment is fifty cents an hour. Farmers near the Twin Cities are taking advantage of the op- portunity to obtain ex-service men as farm hands and are paying from $50 a month, with room and board, up- ward. GLEN VIEW ROAD NOW TO BE BUILT BY THE COUNTY The county board has awarded contracts for the building of some 19 miles of country roads at a cost of $837,000. The bids averaged $42,383 a mile, although Governor Small, only a few. days ago threw out bids for state roads to cost an average of $37,850 in the northern part of the state, because he said they were too high. The north shore is particularly in- terested in one of the roads to be built, the Glen View road, 2.9 miles, for which the low bid was $37,750 a mile. The roads built by the county last year cost an average of $42,792 a mile. Work is to be commenced upon it very soon. CARRIED LIVE SNAKE TO CHURCH, ARRESTED; CLAIMS PART OF RITE Ft. Wayne, Ala.--]. Wiley Reese, who carried a live snake to church with him and was charged with dis- turbing religious worship, was re- leased by the non-jury division of the De Kalb county court when he plead- ed that the reptile was taken as part of a religious rite in which he be- lieved. Judge Steele decided the matter involved the conscience and religious convictions, lease him. at the appearance of the snake.
