Fred 'CoulsoK Urged Standardi-
cation of Phone Rates.
Abilene Man Was a Charter
Member of Club.
WINTER PROGRAMS PLANNED
A Member Urged Devotion to
Constructive Work.
National Questions Are To Be
Discussed in Future.

Declaring that the telephone COM
panies of Kansas are bending every
sinew to strengthen and improve the
Service they give the patrons of the
lines. Fred Coulson OF Abilene, a char
ter member of the Topeka Rotary
club, was the speaker OF the day at
the regular meeting of the club at the
Chamber of Commerce this noon. %
Coulson spoke of the STANDARDIZED
ton of rates and service as ordered by
the United States government when
the wire lines were turned over to
Postmaster General Burleson as a war
measure. He told of how the teIe-
phone service of the country had fall
en- short of the pre-war standard on
account of the companies having to
meet increases in the pay-rolls This
increase now asked in rates Coulson
characterized as a necessity IL the
companies are to be able TO compete
with other businesses in the struggle
to get and hold efficient employees.
Club Plans Entertainment.
Coulson was the headliner on the
program for today. Other business
policy to be followed by the enter
tainment committee OF the club in
planning the years meetings.
George McDermott. newly appointed
chairman of the committee, called
upon certain members of the club for
suggestions as to what should be done
in the program line. One of the sug-
gestions which seemed to take hold
of the members was the free discus
sion at one meeting each month of
national questions. An outgrowth or
an amendment to this suggestion was
fl1o -
tionally known speakers on questions
of public import.
Aid In Construction Work.
It was suggested by Frank P Mac
Lehman. publisher of The State Jour
nal. that the club devote itself to con-
structive work for the city and the
state. He advocated the principle OF
Rotary taking a firm grasp on one
end Of a single string and then pur-
suing that string to sTits- end before
taking hold of another string. 1t is
only by the concentration of effort
and its Capitalization that the club can
hope to do the most good, Mr.. Mac
Lehman said.
He cited the unfortunate efforts OF
the Rotary club in preventing the
building of the county home above the
first story.
Several other suggestions made at
the meeting were taken under consid-
Grafton and will probably crop out in
some of the coming programs.
The next meeting of the Rotary club
will be held Friday. October 4, at the
Chamber of Commerce. This is the
regular meeting of the club postponed
one day SO that a special entertain
ment feature may be used as the pro-
gram. 1t will be Victrola day for the
Rotary club and several world famous
artists and singers will be on the pro-
gram in person competing with the
reproduction o. their voices on the
Victrola.

IT is REJECTION
President Says He Would So
Deem Article X Reservation.
Speaks at Denver TOday-Third
Term Talk Crops Out Again.

Denver. Colo. Sept. 25.-Avowedly
ready for a finish fight on the issue
Of peace treaty ratification, President
Wilson carried his campaign into
Colorado today. He was TO speak at
Denver this morning and at Pueblo
this afternoon. dorado is the state
of Senator Thomas, who has just de-
clared for reservations.
Wilson says the treaty fight is CEN
tering on Article X, which he regards
as the heart of the document. 1t was
a challenge when he said at Chey-
enne. that he. as president, would
deem the treaty rejected If congress
adopted the proposed reservation to
Article x.
This reservation stipulates the
United States assumes no obligation
to carry out ony of the provisions of
Article x and also says the United
States will not use its troops under
any article of the treaty without the
consent of congress.
The president, in discussing the at
tacks on the treaty, said he never
would turn back in his fight for rati-
fication. This led to some gossip to-
day as to Wilson's probable course
should the senate adopt the proposed
reservation. one suggestion was that
Wilson's friends would urge him to
run for \ third term on a ratification
platform, which possibly would have
the support of Taft and other Repub-
lican leaders. However. Wilson has
repeatedly urged that the treaty fight
be kept out OF politics and has bitter
ly denounced those who sought to
make II party issue.
Wilson's answers to objections to
the League covenant are in substance
as follows:
THE covenant says nothing in II
shall be construed as affecting the validity
OF the Monroe doctrine"
I've can withdraw from the League
upon two years notice when We please"
J-"There is nothing in the covenant to
Interfere with the right OF self-determina-
ton"
THE covenant expressly excludes in
reference with domestic questions"
S-"The one American vote In the League
council offsets the six British votes in
the Leagne nssemhlr."

MISLEADING" PEOPLE
That Is Senator News Charge Against
Wilson Regarding League Votes.

Washington. Sept. 24.--In asserting
that the British empire could not out
vote the United States in the League
OF Nations under the covenant as now
drawn, President Wilson. either thru

ton" is misleading the American
people. Senator New. Republican, OF
Indiana, declared In an address today
in the senate.
Launching a general attack on the
league as n "one-sided" arrangement
under which this country would be re-
quired to protect the territory OF 9TH
er nations without needing reciprocal
service from them. Senator New crit
icised many details OF the covenant
and dwelt at length on the question OF
the relative vote OF Great Britain and
