The resolution which Senator Lewis
sought to have read to the Senate 7as
intended largely as a reply to the
Lodge round robin" The Lewis reso-
luton follows:

interest that the President of the
United States returns at once to
France to resume his labors for the
peace of the world and the adjust
ment of terms of the obligations on
Germany as a just penalty for the
war 1T waged:
Now. therefore. be 1t resolved.
That the Senate express by this
resolution it's wish for the safe
journey Of the President. the safe
return to his own country and for
every success in any undertaking
that makes for the welfare of the
United States and it's people and
the betterment Of the world.
BE It further resolved, That the
Senate earnestly approves all prop
er efforts of the President TO effect
league Of peace that can bring
an arrangement guaranteeing the
tranquility of nations and the mu-
tual friendships of the world.

Sherman's Caustic Criticism.

Senator Sherman relieved Senator
France at 1880 o'clock this morning.
He entered upon a spirited attack on
President Wilson for alleged remarks
recently to the democratic committee
men, in which the President was re-
ported TO have said that republican
senators who oppose him should be
hanged as high as heaven. but point
ing the other way.
sMen are in Leavenworth prison for
saving less than this about officials of
the government" declared Senator
Sherman. "A senator who would make
such a statement about the President
outside Of this chamber would be in
dicted and imprisoned, and if he made
it on the floor should be dealt with ac-
cording to the rules of the Senate"
Senator Sherman went on to say that
ii would require forty-tive different
executions to carry out the threat. He
said the remark sounded like the Ian
euage of kings who order executions:
like the language of Mortal of scrip
tural history. If a sojourn abroad in
duced such language he hoped that
fewer American officials would leave
the country.

81 SENATOR'S VIEW
SEEN AS Warning
Signed Statement Likely to
Be Considered by Peace
Delegates.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Although il might appear on the
surface that Senator Lodges list of
thirty-seven senators who object to
the present draft of the league of ma
tions means formidable opposition
to the kind of peace treaty that Presi-
dent Wilson eventually viii bring
home from France. the consensus of
opinion among disinterested observers
at the Capitol was that the move was
intended only as a warning to the
American peace mission to respect the
wishes of the Senate.
AS a matter of fact, any one who Is
familiar with what has been hap
pen!ng in Paris and knows the con-
dition of Europe today cannot put
regard the discussion OF the last week
in the Senate as unlikely to change
the procedure of the peace conference
Undoubtedly many of the things
which the senators have brought up
viii strengthen the hand of the Amer
lean delegation, but the resolution
| of the Massachusetts senator asking
that peace with Germany be con-
cluded at once and the league or ma
tions taken up afterward Will have
no effect in Paris, because that stage
of the proceedings is long since past.

Representative La Guardia of New
York republican, major in the air
service during the war, speaking in
support Of the league of nations plan
declared that every one of the two
million American soldiers who were
sent to France would favor a plan
which would forever end war. The
soldiers knew what the fighting was,
he said, and for that reason would
tolerate no partisan effort to defeat
President Wilson in his efforts for a

Inc following aQQreSS was given by
Clarence r. McGilvra, as a layman
minute man, in Sunnyside church,
Portland, Oregon. Mr.. McGilvra is
the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. George
B. McGilvra, Baraboo. He said:
Stewardship Versus Makeshifts
The old DAVIS when the church fair,
the oyster supper and ice-crcam Socia-
bic were the trusted cornerstones of
church finance are passing away. An
era of grace, when stewardship is dis
placing craftsmanship, is rapidly taking
it's place We will have to come to it
to conserve our manpower.
1t is a safe guess that Is per cent of
our energy as church, from the lay
men up to the bishops, is expended in
problems Of finance. The 1.-THE would
remove 80 per cent of the friction in
the local churches.
Who hath woe, who hath sorrow,
who hath contention? They that serve
fifty-cent suppers for two bits and the
glory of God, with an occasional bazaar
or fair by way of variation. The church
no longer holds a monopoly on even
these apologies for finance. The lodges,
public schools and other organizations
have invaded our field. Everybody IS
doing it, The ice cream cone has
driven us out of successful ice cream
finance The man who invented it
was no friend of the aid society, and
he put the finishing touch on the old
time outdoor festival where, amid
flickering lights and muhitudes Of
mosquitoes. we ate cheap ice cream
for the glory of God. Financing our
work with tinfoil, old rubber, rags and
paper is perfectly honest, but it i'm
presses the world that we are reli-
gious ragpickers. We have tried ev-
cry method but the 1.-THE to operate
our churches. We are half pagan,
half Christian, in our giving, and can
scarcely tell whether we are in grace
or disgrace. The centenary, like any
other business proposition, needs fl
nancing. Something for nothing
is a fact that is seldom offered as an
insult to our intelligence. There are
not many left like the old deacon who
praised God that salvation was free.
He knew it, for he had belonged to
the church for forty years and it had
never cost him cent
The program calling for $S5, OOO,O 900
looks large at first sight: but listen.
The income of the members OF the
Methodist church is four and one-half
billions annually. Two-ffths of one
per cent of. our income will put it over
the top. God is a wonderful alchem-
ist. We. see his marvellous works in
the coal, iron and copper deposits all
over the world that mean so much for
our national prosperity. None but He
has ever produced the sparkling dia-
mond or glittering gold. Without a
doubt He has transformed many a
widows mite or orphans handful of
coppers into a golden crown OF rare
beauty, but he is not going to do it
+, for those of us who are we'll able to
srovide Him with better material.
| The rest of the world has gone from
a penny to nickel basis. Let us get
into line. The centenary message OF
stewardship marks the coming OF a
new day.
