Nov. 80 on account of flu. This is
the first time the Indian Victory

ever be seen unless the United States
should have another war while old

REGRETS LACK OF

Deplores Disposition OF
President To Play a
Lone Hand
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. Dec. 4.-The creation
of league of nations to maintain
peace-not a super-government to

by Senator Kellogg of Minnesota,
Republican; In an address today in

Regrets Wilson's Lack of Frankness
In the course of his remarks SEN

disposition of President Wilson to

and the senate regarding his views
on problems coming before the peace
conference. ~

(By Assoeiated Presa.l

st. Paul, MINI, Dec. 4.The fore
noon session OF the annual conven-
ton of the National Nonpartisan
league today was marked by the
same secrecy as were the opening
sessions yesterday. An official an
nouncement issued after the fore
noon session stated that the conven-

association for the league, = ,
A written statement given out by
the league regarding the forenoon
session read as follows: a-'1
THE national convention now
meeting in St. Paul has approved
permanent articles of association for
the league. These articles place the
management of the affairs Of the or
ganization entirely in the hands OF
the membership under the following
procedure:
Chosen in Conventions.
Each state organization. Of the
league is to be governed by a com
mittee of five farmer members
These state committees are to be
elected by the state convention of
the league in each state. Delegates
to the state conventions Of the
league will be chosen as in the past
by the members themselves in town
ship or precinct meetings..
~The chairman Of each state COM
mittee elected by the state conven-
ton will be a member OF the ma
tional committee Of the league.
One For Each State.
"The members of the national
committee will be as many as there
are states in which the league is
organized. The national committee
chooses a national. executive COM
mittee of three. The national COM
mittee chooses its own chairman, who
also becomes president and chief
executive officer OF the league.
AFTER taking action on the arti-
cles of association and the reelection
OF President Townley, the national
convention now in session com
menced the work of auditing the
books and accounts of the league.
This work will probably take some
time.
The Referendum.
"The national convention will ap-
point a committee and formulate
rules for holding a referendum of
the membership in regard to Mr..
Townley's reelection. The articles
of association of the league do not
provide for referendum of this
kind, but this referendum is being
held at the personal request Of Mr..
Townley himself.

1T WAS WRONG.

The lynching OF a disloyal citizen
in Illinois was a crime. Mob law is
never to be justified. though the
crime for which the mob seeks ven
geance be revolving. Its inception
has been traced to a saloon, which
provides not by any means an excuse
but an understanding. Numberless
crimes OF nUmberless kinds have been
traced TO similar places. where other
wise sensible men have their brains
fred beyond understanding OF right
with mean liquor whose character
istic is to bring out the evil, vulgar
and criminal instincts. while smoth-
ering. as with anesthetics, every In E.
auence for good that normally has
habitat in that brain That the
plans for the Prayer lynching were
made by men as they sat around the
bar-room table and gulped down the
fiery stun that gave them the nerve
to do and dare without which they
would not have had the courage or
inclination to carry out the plans so
laid. is oil the more reason that they
should be run down and punished.
The fire OF the liquor perhaps was
mistaken for patriotism by the mem
bers OF the mob who, In their drunk
en- condition were without sense or
reason. But that view OF the matter
is an understanding, not excuse.

At southern department head
quarters 1t was said the reference

adopted merely to invite a renewal

An Early Peace.
(CheSterfield Adyertisa

Chesterfield Advertiser)
The idea OF an early peace. to say
the least, is dangerous to our cause
and has no foundation in actual con-
ditions.
The various military guesses place
victory for the allied arms three to
five years hence. 1t is believed that
it will take America that long to
strike Germany with her full might.
and there now seems no hope of vic
tory until that is accomplished.
If our allies can hold their own un-
til we get there they will be doing
wonderfully we'll.
In the meantime 1t behooves us all
to prepare for several years of sac
rifice. We should plant food stuffs
and then more food stuffs and buy
all the large and small government
bonds we can. For US stay-at-homes,
who are loyal. there is no other
course.
