The Rafton Sentinel is published by Rafton Sentinel Pub. Co with Howard H. Holt as president. It is registered as a second class mail matter at Gratton West Virginia Post Office.
A Senate resolution led by Senator Kenyon calls for an inquiry into the steel strike, aiming to identify whether discontent stems from labor conditions or radical agitators. The piece cites union leaders and mill owners, and notes opposition to congressional investigations as harmful pandering. It also covers reactions to Ludendorff’s war memoirs and debates over treaty authority.
The President aims to compel acceptance of his league despite dislike, arguing the people are still masters. The constitution lacks a must obligation, and the public resists obedience to the President’s drawn plan.
Fort Cumberland Post of the American Legion commends restraint on ex service men who wear uniforms to solicit subscriptions for a magazines that may not exist. The letter condemns selling patriotism for profit and urges true soldiers to avoid hawking goods in uniform, reserving uniform use for recruiting and civilian duties.
The New York World argues that Senate inquiry into the steel strike will only expose facts and may prompt limited mediation. The strike resembles an economic revolution aimed at AFL leaders and the steel firm, with scandal over grievances and a push for a public conference in Washington this October.
The pendulum in Germany swings toward militarism and monarchist influence. An 80,000 officer organization grows in power, signaling a potential restoration of Hohenzollern rule and a weakened republican government as monarchists gain ground and speculate on a coup or shift to a new regime.
An observer notes Georges Clemenceau spoke plainly about the league of nations, preferring imperial guarantees for France, yet signed the covenant while doubting its ideals. He asserts his alliance aims with Britain and America, rejecting roundabout diplomacy and exposing a rare candor amid Versailles debates.
The passage discusses M Clemenceau urging swift treaty ratification not for the covenant but for the treaty itself. It links this with pushing the Anglo French American alliance and questions whether Congress should treat his advice as direction, given the Senate’s primary duty to protect the United States.
Theodore Roosevelt's letters to his children are compiled in a new volume edited by Joseph Bucklin Bishop. The collection portrays Roosevelt as a family head and mentor, emphasizing Americanism, duty, and sound living.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times the piece argues President Wilson trusts ratification of the Peace Treaty will quell labor strife, a view questioned as labor unrest appears Europe driven. It reviews the Round Table conference idea, rail unions’ protests, and fear that preconference quarrels undermine any real gains.
The article criticizes President Wilson for distorting covenant language to bolster arguments on league voting. It notes objections by league elites to England votes and the Senate committee’s reservation seeking equal assembly votes for colonial powers. Wilson claimed our one vote is as powerful as six in practice, arguing council equality governs major decisions.
The speaker argues the league covenant grants the assembly broad jurisdiction and that England holds six votes to the United States one, criticizing the President for ignoring this in favor of admitting new members. The piece defends Senate efforts to correct perceived inequities and urges adherence to the covenant.
The piece defends William C Bullitt amid criticism of his Paris and Paris peace treaty disclosures. It argues his breach of confidences shows government overreach by Wilson and Lansing while praising Bullitts testimony as a catalyst for Senate scrutiny and Americanism amidst partisan attacks.
