PLEASED WITH DR.. HULSE.

The people of Cadiz and Trigg
county have seldom had the oppOr-
tunity to hear ADLER sermons than
those preached by Rev. T. L. HulSe,
of Hopkinsville, the Methodist Presid-
ing Elder of this district. He held
quarterly meeting at several points in
the county last week, and on Sunday
night occupied the pulpit in the Meth
odist church in Cadiz. Indictment
weather did not prevent a large
crowd from being present, although
services were held at other churches
in town, and the sermon was one OF
the most able of the number of splen-
did sermons he has delivered in Cadiz
during the past two years. The
Church of God will make more rapid
strides and the world will become
better more rapidly when more men
OF the mental caiber of T. L. Hulse
devote more of their talents to it

Senator Borah Introduces
Resolution to Reaffirm Doc
trine Of No Alliances.
FORESTALL DISCUSSION
Leaders See No Reflection on
President Wilson's Peace
Address in Resolution.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Ground
work of the expected attack in the
senate,on President Wilson'S proposal
that the United States Join a league
for peace was laid today in a resolu-
ton introduced by Senator Borah
reafiiming as a national policy the
doctrine of no entangling alliances
laid down by Washington and JEFF
ferson.
Unlike the pending Cummins reso-
luton, Senator Borah's proposal
makes no direct reference to the
presidents peace address, but its
adoption would commit the senate in
all matters coming before it touching
the interest or affairs OF foreign coun-
tries to conform its acts to those time
honored principles $50 long and SO
happily part of our own policies. "
There was no debate on the resolu-
ton, but after its introduction demo-
cratic members of the foreign rela-
tons committee went into conference
and made plans to forestall discussion
of the matter on the floor before the
committee has considered.
PROPOSED NO DEPARTURE.
The democrats insisted that the
president had proposed no departure
from national traditions and that there
is nothing in the resolution to reflect
on his utterance. Some leaders even
predicted that if the resolution came
to a vote every democrat would sup.
port it, but they declared discussion
was useless and would disrupt senate
business.
