The speakers at the mass meeting 2 gave an explanation as we'll as they could but there are so many nation- alities among the strikers that it was not easy to make all understand.

MONTANA DEM0CRAT HITS AT 0PP6NENTS
Compares Covenant With Famous
 Treaty of Panama
FAVORED BY (. 0.P. THEN
Senator Walsh Declares That Lodge, McCumber, Nelson, PenrOse, Sim mons, Smooth and Warren All Vot- ed For RooscveIt's Plans in 1904.

Washington, June 11.-Asserting that opponents of the league of na- tions had trumped up many unsup portable objections Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana, defended the league covenant in the senate today against charges that it subverted the American constitution.
 Answering Senators Lodge, of Mass, Knox, of Penn, and others who have urged constitutional objections, Sena tor Walsh declared their arguments founded on theories long since dis proved.
 Same As Other Treaties.
 The celebrated article ten, he con- tinued, certainly would bind the Unit ed States to make war in certain in stances, but he added that the same obligation had been assumed by this governm ent in various treaties in the past.
 He cited the treaty with Panama, saying i've go to war with any coun- try that attempts to reduce the repub- lie through whose concession we built the Panama canal.
 Favored By Republicans.
 That treaty was entered into in the year 1904, the late Theodore Roosevelt being president and Philander c. Knox, now a senator from the state of Pennsylvania, his attorney general and official legal adviser.
 Among those voting to ratify it were the following, still members of the senate
 Senators Lodge, McCumber, Pen- rose, Simmons, Shoot and Warren"
 Quotes Rooscyelt's Speech.
 Senator Walsh quoted a speech by Theodore Roosevelt accepting the No- bel Prize at Christiania in 1910 as fol- lows:
 Tt will be a master stroke if those great powers honestly bent on peace would form a league of peace, not only to keep the peace among themselves but to prevent, by force if necessary, it's being broken by others.'

Peace Conference Refuses Re-
 quest Presented by Germans WILSON WORSTED IN FIGHT
Wanted Allies to Name Fixed Sum for German Preparations But C1emen- ceau Carries His Point in Opposi-

ton.
 Paris, June 11.-The reply to the German counter proposals agreed upon by the peace conference heads refuses the German request for a mandate for the former German col onies
 lengthy memorandum gives the reasons for the refusal and explains the operations of the league of na- tions on colonial matters
 Text Is Not Changed.
 The reparatiOns portion of the re- ply, which has reached the printer, does not fix the total sum which the Germans must pay. The text of the reply contains assurances to Germany regarding the method of the repara- tions process, explaining that it is a workable arrangement.
 Wilson Wanted Fixed Sum.
 President Wilson fought strenu- ously to include a fixed total sum in the reparation clause and the close of the discussion leaves him un- changed, it is said, in the belief that that is the best plan.
 It is understood, however, that the president said that inasmuch that Premier Clemenceau had insisted to the contrary and also that he had signed the original draft, he would sign the reply as formulated.

PURSUING the line of argument used
by my Prohibition friends, | say,
"Down with the Pocket -Knife!" An
editor at Richmond, Mo-, on April 9TH,
having a conflict with Judge Div
elbiss, assaulted him and with the
too-ready poeket-knife inflicted on
him q half-score of wounds from
which the victim died five days later.
One man dead and the other under
the shadow of living death within the
doleful walls of the State Penitenti-
ary! Is it not sorrowful to contem-
plate? Let us have statute against
the manufacture, sale and carrying of
pocket-knives. While it is true that
ninety mine men out of every hundred
devote the cutlery to reasonable use,
yet there's the hundredth whose well
fare must be guarded against his pos
sible inherent wrong doing. What is
the plea of ''personal liberty" against
SO desired contamination? If there
were no pocketknives Judge Devil
bliss would still be adjudicating the
legal disputes of his neighbors and
the Richmond editor enjoying the
esthetic qualifications of his own
facile pen. Down with the Demon
Pocket Knife! To blazes with the
mawkish cry of personal liberty!"

Mae Collins died Tuesday morning,
April LIST, 1919, at s:45, st the home of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. @. Collins.
in Ironton, Mo-, after a short illness
of influenza which developed into
pneumonia.
The deceased was born near An
napolis, Mo October 1st, 1884, living
to the age of "a years and months.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the grave by Rev. Calvert. At
ter short consoling talk the body
was laid to rest in the K. P. cemetery
to await the resurrection morn. The
choir sang her favorite song, "Some
Day."
Some day twill all be over,
The toll and cares of life;
Some day the world be vanquished
With all this mortal strife.
Some day, the journey ended,
I'll lay my burden down,
In realms supernal
Receive at last my crown.
CHORUS.
Some day, some happy day,
The Lord will wipe all tears away.
And shall go to dwell with him,
Some happy day.
Some day I'll see the mansions
OF heavens city fair;
Some day I'll greet with pleasure
The dear ones waiting there!
Some day I'll hear the voices of Gods
Angelic throng,
Some day I'll join the chorus
In heavens immortal song.
Some day 1'll see the Savior,
And know Him, face to face;
Some day receive immeasured
The blessings of His grace.
Some day He'll smile upon me
From that white throne above,
Some day I'll know the fullness
Of his undying love.
She leaves a loving father and
mother, 2 brothers, s sisters, num-
ber of nieces and nephews, uncles,
aunts, cousins, and host of friends
to mourn her departure.
All that loving hands could do was
done to stay the destroyer, but with
no avail. She was sweet, kind, low
ing girl; always had smile and a
kind word for every one. Dear Mae,
thou art gone! But we know our loss
is her gain; for those who die in the
Lord, die well. All through her ILL
ness she was so cheerful and in such
good spirits and glad to see those
who visited her, that those who cared
for her did not realize she was serious
ly ill till just a short time before the
end came.
Mae professed faith in Christ or
May 9th, 1918, and was baptized May
9th, 1918, by Rev.J. T. Moore. United
with the Christian church at Mar
quand, Mo, and was devoted active
member till her death. To the be-
reaved ones will say "Let Jesus come
into your heart" He alone can fill
the vacant place.
How happy every child of grace
Who knows his sins forgiven.
This earth, he cries, is not my place,
seek my place in heaven.
A stranger in the world below
calmly sojourn here;
Nor can its happines ss or woe
Provoke my hope or fear.
To tEat Jerusalem above,
With singing I repair;
While in the flesh, my hope and love
My heart and soul are there.
} Lord, I, the welcome word receive,
On Pisgah's top stand,
And life's important point employ
To view the promised land.

JAMES S. MARTIN, General Superin-
tendent of the National Reform As
sociation, says in an article in the
Christian Statesman. that his Associa-
tion "aims thoroughly to Christianize
the nation and have it, as a nation,
accept Christ as its King, and so
change it's fundamental law as to
at once fittingly express its Christian
character and legally safeguard our
national Christianity" The only
way to illegally safeguard Christian
ity" is to make it our religious faith
to the exclusion of all others and to
punish all heretical adversaries by
fine, fire or Imprisonment. Mr.. Mar
tin ought to have lived in the days of
the Spanish Inquisition. Then Chris
tianity was illegally safeguarded" to
the limit, and God was duly recogniz-
ed and established by the State-just
as Mr.. Martin suggests ought to be
done now. How much of the religious
liberty guaranteed by the Constitu-
tion would the United States possess
if the James S. Martins had charge
and direction of our government?
