Wilson said, "there was no need
for reservation, The Monroe Doc
trine is authenticated In the treaty
by all the great powers of the world
and therefore there is no need for a
Monroe Doctrine reservation"
The president said he wanted to
know if those who favor reserva-
tion for a quick withdrawal from the
league of nations were such poor
patriots that they thought the Unit
ed. States would not fulfill, its inter-
national obligations.

In the evening he will return to St.

the auditorium at 8: 80 o'clock. His
strongest appeal for support of the
league of nations together with the
peace treaty will be made at this
time, it is believed. He probably
also will go into the economic sit
uation to some extent.
Whether the president will give
the legislators any program for state
tion is a venture. Many state repre-
sentatives and senators are placing
the good situation ahead Of other
legislation: as-Aed.ab by the governor.
Governor j.. Burnquist suggested
that leaders of both houses appoint
special committees today to conduct
hearings on sthe food situation and
recommend laws to curb unjust pro-
fits and impractical marketing.
These committees probably will
begin operations within the week.
An effort will he: made to provide for

Forest Fire Prevention.
Next biggest on the program is
the item of providing funds for for
est fire prevention. w. T. Cox, state
forester, has an extensive program
worked out for prevention of fires,
which annually destroy more tim
Der than any other agency. Parti-
cularly, the legislators are interest
ed in preventing recurrenc of such
disastrous fires as the Moose Lake
holocaust of last October. Forest
fires not only destroy more property
than any other agency in the state
but wipe out more lives annually
than any other form of violent
dennis: Not only is the human death
rate high as result, of fires but
thousands Of animals, both wild aand
domestic, and thousands of birds and
wild fowl are destroyeda -
Forest fire protection has been
greatly augmented this year and at
present the state forestry depart
ment has large force of rangers
working in the most thickly popu-
lated districts Of the forest areas.
However there. ARE thousands of
acres practically unprotected be-
cause funds have not been provided
for patroHing them. Particularly
along the Canadian border is there

tieing the horses, he crawled be-
meath the platform in the court
house yard which has been used
for the Sunday night open air

town, and proceeded to take a
nights rest. Having lost. sleep
for several nights previous, he
slumbered unusually deeply this
night; and when he awoke the
next morning found that he had
been relieved OF $lZ./5. Several
men standing around the court
house Friday night, informed
Webb of two .colored boys whom
they had seen hanging around
the platform that night, and
Webb swore out warrants for
their, arrest, In Judge Murray
Smiths court Saturday the boys
denied having taken the money,
and were released.
: Mr.. Webb informed a repre-
sentative of the Register Thurs

CHRISTIANS PLAN BIG
REVIVAL HERE SOON

+ Plans are being perfected for
al two oIweeks meeting at the First
Christian schurch to begin the
latter part of September. Rev.
E. E. VioletteS of Kansas City,
will assist the local forces in
what promises : to be meeting
of great signifcance.Mr. Violette
is one of the most successful
and widely known pulpiteers in
the country and has led many of
the best churches of the Disciples
of Christ in successful evangelis :
tic campaigns. He was the di-
rector of the Speakers Bureau in
the great central district during
the war campaigns, and is per-
haps the most widely travelled
minister among his people. His
world travel and familiarity with
world conditions will bring him
to Richmond with message
peculiarly fit for such a time as
this. An author of recognized
ability, he is a splendid leader of
music and one of the most force
full pulpiteers in America.
Since Mr.. Carpenters return
from Lake Chautauqua, the ma
chinery of the local church is all
being put in tip top condition for
a great meeting. Within the
interim religious census will be
taken and all the forces put in
readiness. It is hoped that the
meeting can be made to serve, in
a large way, not only the other
churches but all the interests of
the community.
