STATE OF OREGON
is STRONG FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

En- Route With President Wilson
Through Oregon, Sept. 16.-Death
broke in on the presidential party at
Portland, and its tragic impress put
President Wilson in no mood for
speech-making. Reluctantly did he
carry out his program Of two speech
es in Portland. No other addresses
were scheduled until Wednesday at
San Francisco, and the presidential
party leaves Oregon with depressed
spirits and ,downcast hearts.
The people here greeted the presi-
dent enthusiastically and but for
the incident, the visit to Oregon
might have been one Of the most
triumphant of the whole tour.
For sentiment in Oregon is un-
questionably in favor Of League
of Nations. Even so staunch and in
fuential a newspaper as the Port
land Oregonian, whose Republicanism
is beyond doubt and whose sup
port Of the Republican presidential
ticket in 1912 and 1916 certainly re-
veals no especial desire to advance
the political fortunes of Woodrow
Wilson, is fighting vigorously for
the ratification of the peace treaty
and did not hesitate recently to
criticize Senator Lodges report on
the ground that it picked flaws in
the treaty and did not have any
thing to say about its affirmative
value.
The Oregonian has no objetcion to
reservations, but as between peace
treaty and league to which no reser-
vations are attached and none at all
its desire; would appear to be un-
qualified adoption Of the pact.
How Papers Stand.
The Oregon Journal which is
owned by Charles s. Jackson, who
Was the presidents host in Portland,
is of, course supporting the covenant,
and the Portland Telegram, the third
daily Of Importance, favors the
league but wants reservations.
Not long ago one Of these news
papers conducted a staw vote and
$4,000 people voted for the league,
as against few hundred against.
Senator McNeary, Republican, says
from the outset, he himself was in
favor Of the league and is one Of the
leading members Of the so-called
mild reservationists" group, whose
friendliness to the league has been
steadfast throughout the controver-
sy. Senator Chamberlain, Democrat,
is standing by the president.

IF AMERICA STAYS
OUT SHE MUST PAY

Portland, Ore, Sept. 16.-If Am
erica stays out Of the league of ma
tions it will do so at a great cost to
democracy in violation OF it's materi-
al as well as its moral interests, Pres
ident Wilson declared in an address
here today.
Ieploring TIC suggestion which he
said was being made on all sides that
the United States take advantage of
the world situation without shoulder
ing any Of the responsibility, Mr..
Wilson declared such a policy would
be futile, because this country as
much as any other was interested in
guaranteeing a stable world over.
Cheered Repeatedly.
During an all day stop here the
President spoke first at an afternoon
luncheon, where his declarations
were cheered repeatedly by two hun
dred business and professional men
of Portland. He made only a brief
impromptu talk, however, the only
set speech on his days schedule be-
ing at an evening mass meeting at
the Municipal Auditorium. For this
meeting seven thousand tickets had
been distributed in a lottery which
local officials said there were more
than thirty thousand applications for
admittance.
Roar of Welcome.
From the time the presidential
train arrived the President and Mrs.
Wilson were followed by cheering
crowds. When he appeared on the
rear platform of his private car at
the station, a railroad man shouted
"atta boy" and a crowd which had
squeezed through the police lines to
the tracks started a roar of welcome
which continued all the way along an
automobile ride through Portland's
principal streets.

VICTORY PARADE
HELD IN CAPITAL
Biz, Crowd Cheers Pershing and His
Men-Parade Lasted Three Hours.
En.husi.sm Of People Stirred by
:. Marching Troops-Record
:, For Washington.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Hoarse
with cheering, Washington rested to-
night satisfied that it had paid full
honor to Gen. John J. Pershing and
the fighting men of the First Divi-
sion.
The nations victory parade was
over. For nearly three hours a roll
ing flood of soldiery, guns and
horses, tanks and motor trucks had
poured up Pennsylvania Avenue with
out check or halt to pass the review
ing stand where Vice President Mar
shall, representing President Wilson.
The wide street ran back full with
it's gxim, living tide of fighting power
and organization; and as the great
pageant was unrolled before their
eyes the hundreds of thousands of
people who formed those banks roar
ed and shrieked with pride and ap-
proval, the sound of their cheering
slowly dwindling at the end, but on
ly from physical exhaustion.
Riding at the head of the mighty
colmun, General Pershing was car
ried forward along the whole line of
march as though on wave of sound
as the nation and city gave him his
formal greeting. To no American
since Admiral George Dewey came
home in triumph from Manila has
such an ovation been rendered. Nor
has the end yet come; for tomorrow
congress will formally add its tri-
butte TO that of the city and the ma
ton and with business put to one
side, tender the expeditionary COM
mander formal reception at the
capitol.
Record For Washington.
Never has Washington witnessed
such a military pageant as that which
today flooded its great victory way.
Men in numbers have marched there
in review, but never has the full
pomp and panoply of war been thus
given to the public.
Fresh, from the royal tribute paid
them in New York, the men Of the
First Division marched with full
fighting equipment. From the pond
erous six:inch howitzers Of the ar
tillery to the diminutive one Founders
and grotesque trench mortars the full
strength Of the divisional artillery
was there. From the thick clustered
'bayonets Of the infantry masses to
the grim lines of machine gun mount
ed motor trucks, the small arms Of
this great fighting unit were on dis
play; and from the numbering miles
Of hooded supply and ammunition
trucks to a roaring, Gathering caval-
cade Of whippet tanks, the tools of
every phase Of modern warfare were
represented.

Roossv.lt and the Church

We hope that in the churches of this valley to- day. special attention will be given to the closing campaign of the Roosevelt Memorial association for membership. The object of the association is worthy of the consideration everywhere of those organiza- tions which are designed to make men better.
 The doctrines of Theodore Roosevelt wholly based on righteousness. No man in all the world more persstently preached righteousness as the means and the only means for the salvation of gov- ernnents He urged national righteousness and there cannot be national righteousness without individual righteousness.
 He was himself. an earnest and fearless Chris tiani. He recognized the need of the church as a butress for the community and the nation. In The Foes of Our Own Household" he said: Tn this ac- tual world a churchless community where men have abahdoned scoff at ignore their religious needs is a community on a rapid down grade.
 Fear God and take your part" was doc Urine of Roosevets Another saying Walk hurnbly; you will do so if you study the life and teachings of the Savior"
 Tbe world knew Theodore Roosevelt best a satesanan and publicist. In his long and busy life from the time he entered the New York assembly until he was laid aNway a hillside at Oyster Bay, he was devoted to tl.s material benefit of his tryrnen and the nation. His profession of religion was not loud but deep sincere worshipper in the church of his fathers he left to churchmen the dis cussion of dogma, but he constantly recognized in revealed religion a necessity of humanity. It ap pears in his state papers and addresses and in all his public writings. There was ever present faith in God and a reliance upon religion for the support of all earthly institutions.
 He said: "The most perfect machinery of gov ernrlent will keep a nation from destruc- ton if there is not within a soul No aboundng material prosperity shall avail if our spiritual senses atrophy. The foes of own household shah surely prevail against unless there be in people an inner life which finds it's outward presson in morality not widely different from that preached by the and prophets of Judea when the grandeur that Greece and the glory that Rome still lay in the futureP
 The members of the church. those who jealous for it's unbuildng for the bringing of it into favor in the community; for the popularizing of it. we may say for to attain the highest must be popularzed can accomplish that best by showing it to be as adaptable to daily affairs Roose- welt believed it to be necessary to the happiness of the people under organized government.
 It would us, then, that earnest church members could best the greatest of instu- tions by encouraging the dissemination and perpeu- ity of the principles of who so recognized the hand of God in all worldly affairs.

The Test Is Yet To Come

To what extent shall have prohibition is yet to be determined. The president expected shortly to approve the time prohibition enforcement act The act itself is in force and it has been pretty generally obeyed except by the lower class of saloon keepers and of course, by the booteggers who make no pretense of keeping within the law The saloons yet in operation in states territory not locally dry have been selling 275 per beer but that is prohibited by the enforcement act We have no doubt that the better class of saloons will yield to that and war time prohibition throughout country will be effective.
 The fight will come on the prohibition amend ment to the constitution which will become effective next January It will be attacked on the ground of it's unconstitutionality and on the manner of it's ratification by some of the states The courts of the states have been divided that so that it will remain for the of last resort to say whether the amendment is valid one Not until a decision has been handed down by the highest court will the opponents of prohibition admit that the country has really gone dry.

BALLOT ON JOHNSON
 TREATY AMENDMENT DELAYED BY S0L0NS
LRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-After talking all day on the Johnson amend ment to the peace treaty, the senate tonight seemed further away from a vote on the proposal than it was when the days debate started.
 Leaders on both sides had been hopeful of roll call before adjourn ment, but when the administration managers tried to get a specific time to vote, they found the republicans unwilling to bring themselves to ac- tion today, Monday, Tuesday or We'd nesday.
 On the republican side it was pre- dicted that vote might come any one of these days, however, and Repub- lican Leader Lodge announced that he was prepared to prolong Mondays session so as to hasten the debate. | Senator Lodge led in person today the fight made for the amendments against an organization which for several days had made its defeat virtually foregone conclusion. He argued that while the Johnson pro- posal would accomplish completely the equalization of voting power in the | league, it or some similar provision, was necessary to protect American in- terests.
 The amendment, which provides, in effect that the United States shall have as many votes as Great Britain and her dominions in any decision by the league, was opposed as impracti- cable and unavoidable by Senator Mo Cumber, republican, North Dakota, and by Senator Thomas, democrat, l Colorado.
 The request for an agreement to vote today was made by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the adminis- tration leader, and included both the Johnson amendment and that by Sen ator Moses, republican, New Hamp- shire, which deals with the same sub ject. Objection promptly was made by Senator Johnson, republican, Cali fornia, author of the former measure, which said that Senator Reed, demo- crat, Missouri. desired to speak for the amendment and was unable to be present beca use of illness.

and interlopers wanted Whether the spirit of harmony which bubbed there will foam over and enguf the ranks of the hungry democrats outside is very much doubted When one is assailed by the of political hunger he is not very harmonious and he is not made by the sight of fat sleek favorites within who have been enjoying fullness and warmth for seven blissful years His howls and growls are likely to create note of inharmony.
 Among the resolutions of the club was to dis courage the practice by democratic candidates in the past of calling another thieves and pick pockets before the primaries In the view of the club, the animosity aroused is likely survive the general election endanger the jobs of the club members Still another resolution related to the dis couragng outsiders that is persons other than blown-in bottle democrats from taking part in democratic primaries.
 Both are worthy resolutions and to the latter we believe that party primary should be held sacred to the party But we think that the Harmony club' has fallen into democratic error of supposing that the democratic party Arizona has actually been hurt by iadvised republican partic- patton in it's primaries. On the contrary we believe it has been benefited though without republican in- tent In the last democratic primary republicans took part. Some of the candidates notably the candidate for governor, nominated in spite of the republi- can intruders and he then defeated If the med ding republicans had had their way they might have nominated democrat who would have been elected
 In the same primary the republicans assisted in the nomination of candidates for other offices were elected We have to believe that if the Hunt candidates against whom the republicans had been voting, had been nominated they would have been defeated Still as matter of principle, the Harmony club is to be commended for it's desire to keep the ranks of democracy pure and undefled The republicans were in the democratic primary fo- no good and laudable purpose whatever might have been the beneficial results of their interference

By REV. CHARLES STELZLE Staff Writer on Religious Topics.

During a recent evangelical cam paign. the entire New Testament was read in public in single day, begin ming at a. m. and continuing until 10 a. m.
 It required 4S readers in relays of from 20 to 30 minutes each. No doubt hundreds of people heard more of the Bible read on that day than during all the rest of their lives.
 This was a good thing to do. but there's a better way to read the Bible flor most of us.
 It required about 1.600 years to write the Bible. and the 66 books which it contains consist of history, poetry, prophecy law and several other kinds of literature For whatever else the Bible is, it should be regarded as liter ature, which means that it should be read and especially studied like any other book or collection od books. Aside from reading the Bible fo1 purely devotional purposes. when it is read in brief sections-and usually fol this purpose, the briefer the passage the better-the Bible should be read 1T | it's chronological order-that is, the

The New Harmony Club

Good luck to the Harmony club which came into being at the state capitol last week. Though com posed largely it is not and is not intended to be. affiliated with the Arizona Federation of wonan's clubs And it is be confused or con- founded with another Harmony club which once ex- isted in Phoenix and became woman's club The Harmony of it's title had do with music The 'sHarrnouy- in the of the new club has to do with good feeling among democrats which in Ari- has not for years been pronounced or preva- lent.
 The Harmony club consists of the heads of the various departments of state under democratic con- tro. and the attaches of these departments The heads arc looking renomination or to nomination for other offices in the "vcious circle" than those they now occupy, and the attaches to perpetuation in tho positions they hold or to others just as good or better, all under the dome of the capitol These attaches. many of whom have been at the capitpI since statehood occupying one post or an- other, have to constitute a Praetorian Guard
 Statistical reports of the Harmony club meeting are iietSqute favorable as democrats could wish Though many of the constituent departments are listed s1Oo per cent" (democratc) others fall short f mat absolute purity and perfection For instance, we see that there only two sgners from the of Gee df the state treasurer.
 Also. the office of the state tax commission makes adistressingsbowing of only S571 per pure The aIloy there Is Commissioner Kuchler who from aemocratic point of view is a refractory sub stance and unsusceptble of reduction by any of the 1emocratic tests which have yet been applied.
 There a harmonious body than that which resolved itself into the Harmony club. All the participants united by common desire to remain undisturbed at the counter. There was room and just room enough for those already there
