Der Of the regular and progressive lead

cal Washington began to sit up and
take notice when Senator A. B. Cummins.
of Iowa. the recognized leader of the
insurgent wing OF the party in the sen

3:45 p. m. He was quickly followed by
Senator William r. Borah, of Idaho,

also the work of the w. c. T. L. and in
dorsed the fight the union is making
against the cigarette evil. The report

nothing is more responsible for the trou-
BILE and disgrace of boys than the vile
cigarette habit.

the general conference regarding the use
OF tobacco by young preachers. Refer
ence was made to a booklet by ]. B.
Wright on "Can II Be Defender" Mr..
Wright was a lay member of the last gen.
eral conference. He takes the position

OF lawlessness that exists today, and at
tributes IL in large measure to the failure
of the courts to convict, the light penal
ties imposed, and the indiscriminate
granting OF pardons. 1t urges the sSver-
nor and pardon boards to be mor< care
full about turning criminals loose uron
