Talk about the "freedom of speech" and our "representative government," should be made in a whisper now that United States senators are forbidden to express an opinion on as important an issue as the league of nations until the party bosses tell them what to think and what to say. Surely the I. W. W. and the other soap box orators have no "kick" coming because they are not allowed to speak on the streets and block public traffic when United States senators are forbidden to speak without the consent of the party managers.
President Wilson introduced the covenant of the league of nations to the plenary session of the peace conference and moved its adoption and it was adopted "without division and without amendment."
President Wilson returns to the United States and goes direct to the people who have the votes, the covenant will receive practically unanimous support.
When President Wilson is asked and is "Burleson" willing to give up control of the telegraph, telephone and cable lines, we may now look for these necessary industries to be placed back on a business basis, but will probably have to continue to pay excessive rates in order to meet the wage advances given by the postmaster general during his brief but strenuous tenure as manager of the systems.
The energy with which the sewer extension and septic tank work has been started and is being pushed forward is encouraging. These are improvements that are badly needed and once undertaken should be pushed to rapid completion. City Engineer Smith, Mayor Truitt and the councilmen are to be commended upon the excellent work.  They are doing.
