ORGANIZATION
IS FORMED TO
FIGHT LEAGUE
Speakers and Literature to
Present Opposition to Cow
enant Over u. S.

WASHINGTON. March 14.-Prelim.
mary organization of a nationwide or
eanization to combat the proposed
covenant Of the league of nations,
was effected today in the office of
Senator James A. Reed, Of Missouri.
Within few weeks the organiza-
ton will begin sending out speakers
and literature to every section of the
United States, ito tell every voter
just what the league means"
Henry Watterson, OF Louisville, vet
eran editor, has accepted the presi-
dency of the organization. He tele-
graped his acceptance to the senators
participating in the conference.
George Wharton Pepper, lawyer, Of
Philadelphia, and president Of the
Pennsylvania council Of defense, will
be the active manager.
Among those who participated in
the conference, in addition to Senator
Reed. were Senators Borah, of Idaho,
Poindexter, of Washington and Mr..
Pepper. A list Of the names of prom
inent persons in various cities Of the
country who have indicated their will
hngness to cooperate in the movement
was presented.
Will Be Voluntary.
1t was decided at the conference
that the association should be entire
ly voluntary. 1t will be supported
entirely by voluntary contributions.
An effort will be made to make the or
ganization distinctly popular move
ment, as contrasted with the league
to enforce peace, which is charged
with having received it's chief support
from Carnegie's foundation.
Further, it was agreed that the or
ganization should seek to coordinate
all the the local associations now ex-
listing in many of the states to oppose
the league of nations plan.
Several names for the new organi-
zation have been suggested. The one
favored most strongly is 1.-The League
for American Independence" An or
ganization of this name exists, but has
ceased to be active. Those who at
tended the conference felt that it
might be well to revive that organi-
zation with the new purpose of COM
batting the league of nations proposal

The Right to Strike

Many labor leaders would main
tain that any body of workman
would have the right to strike. Yet
there must be some limit to it.
Few people would claim that the
army had the right to strike for
higher pay while a war was proceed
ing Not many people would justify
the doctors in quitting work and re-
fusine to visit sick people, until
everyone paid them an advanced
fee Nurses would not be justified
in quitting hospital in a body be-
cause dissatisfied with wages and
conditions.
There will probably be a test of
opinion soon, on whether a body of
men have the right to tie up the
railroads by strike. Railroad men
no doubt have the right to quit in.
dividually any time they wish.
But combining to take a certain &C.
ton that will threaten the whole
people with the most terrible disast.
er is far different from an ordinary
strike. 1t is a menace that the peo-
pie are not likely to tolerate long.
The very least that should be
done would be this, to train the
United States army so that a large
body of men would be ready at once
to run freight trains and absolutely
needed passenger trains.
But even that is an unsatisfactory
half way measure. There are q
large body of men in this country
who for the good pay now given
trainmen, and assurance of hearing
of grievances by an impartial court.
would be willing to forego the right
to quit work in a body. The present
trainmen, if they could have time
to think it over, and could escape
from the influence of radical leaders,
might quite likely assent to it as a
proposition fair to everyone.

Soldier Candidates

Congressman La Guardia, FORM
er soldier, has this to say concern.
ing the desire of politicians to ex.
plot their military records:
For me there is absolutely no
question. l am utterly opposed to
anything which would tend to es-
tablish military tests for political
candidates. would fight to the
last any attempt to perpetuate mil
itary distinctions as the basis for
election to political office. That
would be contrary to the democratic
purposes for which the war was
carried on. 1t would be betrayal
of those who stayed at home be-
cause they were not qualified to
enter the army. It would be re.
sented justly by all who did their
duty, whether they were in the
trenches, or in the factories"
This war was different from all
other wars. and the spirit which
has come out of it is different. This
was a war aeainst war. 1t was
fought to end militarism. We could
not have Junker Office holders.
The true test for public Office is
capacity for service.
BY that test alone the candidate
should stand stand or fall, regard.
less of his military record.
Congressman La Guardia, we be.
lieve, has expressed the viewpoint
of the majority of enlisted men.
These men manifest a desire to
take keen interest in public affairs
Yet, we have the feeling that
they are going to be equally keen in
the matter of candidates--deter.
mined to eliminate him whose only
claim to Office is military record

Judge Bond

The sudden death of Judge Henry
W. Bond deprives Missouri of the
services of jurist of high ability
and ripe experience, He was dis.
tiDeuished as a lawyer while at the
bar. but doubtless his deepest i'm
preston upon Missouri was made
in bis Is years on the bench. where
his learning. knowledge of public af.
fairs and judicial habit of mind
found their fullest usefulness.
There have been times when the
people of this State have manifest.
ed a degree of dissatisfaction with
their courts, and particularly with
the Supreme Court. Doubtless the
most of this impatience was due to
misunderstanding, and in the long
run the.court has always emerged
from temporary disfavor still secure
in the respect of the people.
1t has been the impartiality
ability and dignity of men like
Judge Bond which brought this a.
bout.

And Now Omaha

@AhN 4NS" OAAoho
The fact that the outburst of mob
violence in Omaha came after a
series of similar eruptions in other
cities does not explain it, All Of
them need explanation from some
underlying cause, and for this one
naturally looks to the effect of the
war upon minds of the people.
1t is easy to build theory upon
that basis. The war accustomed
the people to thoughts of strife and
violence. 1t nourished the idea that
hatreds are properly expressed in
forcible, destructive and bloody &C,
tion. The war accustomed men to
linking of direct action" as the
best means for attaining any end.
and, in addition to these influences,
there was the unsettlement of mind
due to strain and excitement. Every.
one is familiar with the fact that
any excitement is likely to over
throw reason and self.control in
minds that tend toward insanity.
There are thousands of people who
are not insane, and may never be
insane, who nevertheless are to
some degree unstable. The war,
strikes and the diffused feeling that
the times are precarious must have
brought many such people under a
strain which is likely to result in
ervous break and outburst when
any event results in further tension.
Some such theory may account
for the mobs which are disturbing
and disgracing this country.
In the Omaha outbreak there is
one feature which relieves the gener-
al impression of horror and regret.
The officials appear to have done
their best to resist the mob and pro.

Highway Tree Planting

Ii is time to make vigorous and
concerted effort in the interest of
tree planting along the public high.
ways. Missouri is now entering up
on the greatest era of road building
10 the history of the State. Let US
make the highways worth while
from every conceivable viewpoint.
says Mosby's Missouri Message.
With hardly a dollar of additional
expense, all Missouri highways
could be lined on both sides with
hardwood nut trees. Unlike fruit
trees. these trees need no cultiva-
ton. they do not decay, and they
will weather every storm. Con.
sideriDg the facts that these trees
will Occupy no additional space, that
they will grow on public land, that
they will actually serve to protect
and beautify the highways, that they
will not iDjure adjoining property,
that the cost would be nominal or
nothing, and that they would supply.
without expense, very consider
able item of edible and nutrious
food to the next generation, in ad-
dltion to much valuable hardwood
timber, the plan is undoubtedly
worthy of more serious considera-
ton than it has yet received.
Consider what it means. Take
our highway space of 100000 miles.
Counting 200 trees to the mile,
planting on both sides OF the road,
you will have twenty million trees.
Do you realize what these trees
would yield in foodvalues to the
next generation?
We have seen many a pecan tree
yield twenty bushels. Ten bushels
is not an uncommon yield for a full
grown walnut tree. But taking only
five bushels as an average yield for
a ull.grown nut walnut,
hickory end pecan-your twenty
million trees would yield a hundred
million bushels. or nearly twice the
amount the entire wheat crop of the
State of Missouri in the most bounti.
ful year of all history!
The tree planting season is near
at hand. The sooner we get at the
job the sooner it will be done. Wis
consip, we believe. is the first state
to make the planting of nut trees a.
long the highways a legal require
ment. In Missouri. let us hope, we
need no such laws. Our own good
sense, and our patriotic regard for
the future of our country and the
welfare of our children should i'm.
pei US to perform this work without
statutory dictation.
The cost, we repeat. will be but
nominal. In most instances the
trees could be transplanted from
our native forests. The labor would
be incOnsiderable 1t could be, and
in most instances, would be per-
formed by volunteers, if the authori-
ties asked it. Let US bring this mat
ter to the immediate attention of
county courts highway officers and
county officials generally. The farm
clubs should take up the question
at once. and they should be aided
by the teachers in the public schools
Cannot we do this much for our
children, when the cost will be so
little and the benefits so great?
Think it over, fellow Missourian.
Talk it over with your neighbors
and your friends.

If you must have your meat every

uric acid which almost paralyzes the

To neutralize these irritating acids,

GARDEN NOTES

A limited quantity Of high-grade
commercial fertilizer can be used to
advantage on garden soils even where
q considerable supply Of barnyard
manures have been applied. CONNER
cfa1 fertilizers act quickly and can be
used to special advantage where It is
desired to mature crops in a short
period Of time.
The best results can be obtained by
the use OF fertilizer on land that is well
filled with organic matter. However,
fair results may be obtained by the
use OF fertilizer on land that has not
been manfred and which is deficient
in organic matter, according to the
specialists OF the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture.
The greatest danger in the use of
commercial fertilizers is that too large
quantities may be applied and cause
