Xo. 43 Thursday, October 30,1919 INVESTIGATE, BY ALL MEANS. One of the most sensible thing: "we have hearcj of lately is the prop osition to investigate the investigat ing committees of congress. A com gressman has introduced a resolutior for the appointment of an investigating committee to investigate the investigating committees. Fine idea Naturally, it will be necessary to investigate this committee after a fev years, but if there is anything in the world that congress has a plenty ol it is material for investigating committees, so. of course, it will not mind another investigating committee tc investigate the investigating committee that was appointed to investigate the investlgating^ommittees. By all means, investigate the investigators. ^ i?> ? HOUSES. ??? Bamberg is confronted by a most serious problem?that of housing fa** - 9 * ? A mof cilities. it is simpiy aimu&i a matter of impossibility to secure a house Eg* in Bamberg. Even rooms cannot be secured. Four weeks ago The Herald employed a printer from Brunswick, Ga., and last week he left because he could not sectire quarters to bring his family to Bamberg. The Herald is now obliged to advertise ,y. that married men with children not not apply for employment in this office. We cannot blame any man for not locating in any town where he cannot bring his family. Will not some men with money? there are any number in Bamberg? come to the rescue of the town and build some houses? We feel sure ? v > v no one will object to paying a reasonable profit on the investment required to build comfortable residences. ^ hi ? THE SHAXTl'XG AMENDMENT. , It is a n\atter of profound satisfaction to the supporters of President Wilson that the Shantung amendment has been defeated in the United States senate. We do not pretend to know anything about the / Shantung question, and we are pretty well satisfied that a great many of the senators do not know much more. But one thing is apparent even to a novice in diplomacy?that is, if he is honest about it, but, naturally, that * > is not to be expected of a certain coterie of senators* in Washington: Shantung is now occupied by Japan, and the failure of the United States senate to ratify the peace treaty or the league of nations will not affect the return of Shantung to China. It is also a well known fact that the United States senate has never before evinced any interest in the rights of China. And it will not be evincing any interest now by refusing to ratify the treaty, or by amending it. On 'the contrary, the peace treaty fool* tn rln inctifo tn thp lnnrt r>f UUVO VV V4V J V*KJV*W vw VAA'W - ? ? XA wConfucius, and the treaty will in the future look after the interests of the ancient Orient. By the terms of the treaty of peace Shantung will be * returned to China, but if the treaty fails Japan will be free to retain the province. Of course, we do not take the senators fighting the president to he a set of ignoramuses. They know all of these things. They are not thinking of the interests of China in wanting to annex the Shantung amendment to the treaty of peace. They have a much "loftier" motive. They are opposing the president. But the treaty of peace will he ratified, and it will be ratified almost if not exactly as framed. The justice of the thing has at last dawned on a majority of those in whose power rests the matter of ratification. ? ??? ^? ? ^ How it Read.
