Racial Brotherhood a Chimera

Henry Wattcrson, veteran editor and
prominent Democrat, gives his views
on the league Of nations in virile Ian
guage characteristic of the man and
his brand Of unllinching AmerieInism.
America is good enough for MIR. Wat
torson. He sees no good to be gained
from contamination with the politics
of Europe and Asia, and while the
United States should stand as ian ex-
ample of wisdom 10 the belcaguered
Of all lands" we should avoid any par
ticipation in their quarrels.
"Thc proposed league of nations. ''
says Col Watterson, lis, in my opinion
"a scheme to have the United States
pull Eng!and's chestnuts and the chest
nuts of France out of. the fire. Ii
would have US under~rite the combus-
tions of Europe. The bedrock of the
religion of humanity from which il
springs is laid in the chimera of racial
brotherhood, and the chimera of racial
brotherhood is laid in the vicionary
theories of self-exploiting philosophers
more learned in the books than in life.
america should stand as at once
a refuge of hope and an example OF
wisdom to the beleaguered of all lands
We arc strong enough to make our
isolation effective, to punish the sell
fish and protect the stricken, and we
shall only weaken our moral power
aad international influence by high
sounding verbal covenants and one
sided foreign alliances that, while
r.ising many responsibilities, put us
at universal disadvantage"

Would Draw Big Attendance

Here Is a proposed programme for

Address, "Too Proud to Fight"
Song by the audience, Rally Round

Address, Self Determination in
Shantung"
Song by the audience, Star Spengl-
ed Banner"
A programme ike that would be fair
to botl sides, for it would give all the
singing to the Americans and all the
speaking TO the internatiOnalists. 1t
would delegate To the Americans all
the promotion of patriotism and would
leave to he Internationalist5 their fav-
orite role of altruisn. Will not Presi-
dent Wilson recommend come such
programme for his league rallies?

STATEMENT OF POSITION
Senator L. c. Phipps in Speech in
The Senate Recently Stated his
Position ON the League of
Nations as FOllws:

Assuming that il were possible to
form league of nations which would;
First. Insure to the peoples Of the
world lasting peace, by the preven-
tion of wars between nations;
Second. Preserve the sovereignty
of the citizens of the United States so
that they would at all times be free
to decide questions affecting their own
nationality and inherent rights, such
as control of immigration and the levy
ing of proper tariff rates; and
Third. Leave exclusively to the de-
cision of the United States Government
the policies which it could adopt, from
time to time, for the control Of its
foreign affairs and in dealing with
other nations
"Such league would appeal to me
as one to which the United States
should subscribe as a member.
"Thc covenant for league of ma
tions as Incorporated in the treaty of
peace being negotiated with Govern
ments of the Central Powers and other
nations does not properly provide for
any one of the three conditions above
named; therefore, in my opinion, it
should not be approved by the Senate
Of the United States without first
making certain reservations or modifi-
cations which would cure these defects.
/ "The suggestions for amendment
proposed by Hon. Elihu Root appear
to cover what is needed to put the
covenant in acceptable form, although
/ further changes may be doomed ad-
visable. ! believe that the thorough
discussion by the Senate Of the pro-
posed league and of the treaty of
peace is a national duty, with a view
to seeking, fairly and impartiolly, the
most practical methods to be employed
for the maintenance of a lasting peace.
While it is probable that the problems
involved can be worked out in a sat
I isfactory manner, which | hope will be
done, and the approval of the Senate
given, am strongly opposed to the
acceptance of the league in its present
form.
at has been my endeavor to give
earnest consideration to this most i'm
portant subject with an open mind and
without reference to party affiliation.
My strong feeling has been that the
interests of the United States are
paramount and must be given preced-
foreign nations are only entitled to
take second place, in the consideration
of the subject by the Senate"

Approximately u per cent Of the
wheat in the state ut the present time
is grown on irrigated land, according
TO reports made by county assessors
to the State Board of Immigration.
The census report for 1903 indicated
~ that time 5l per cent Of the wheat
grown in the state was irrigated. The
very rapid increase in acreage Of wheat
cultivated since 1909 has been account
ed for chiefly by the breaking OF new
non-irrigated land. One of the results
of this large exccss Of non-irrigated
over irrigated wheat has been very
marked decrease IN the average yield
per acre for this crop.

Faith in advertising"

Many earnest proponents of advertising ask people
to have faith in advertising
H. These same advocates would not think of urging
faith in letter writing faith" in teIephoninq-
talt lnIanye other method of thought transference
Advertising is one means of conveying MESSAGES.
The message itself may be what you will: il NAV
inspire to heroism or 1ull to sleep, and ADVERTISING
like the telephone, will carry either.
Any magazine newspaper carries advertising
which results show to be good ADVERTISING and the
same identical issue OF the same publication will also
carry poor advertising"
The publication identical, the reader is the same
the difference, therefore, lie in the MESSAGE and
its presentation.
When you have a message to convey bv advertis
ing, employ an advertising agency with ability and
experience to prepare that message

Not Be Bound by Act of
the British Delegates
Plans Speech in Boston
Will Address Mass Meeting
Which Will Demand Rec
ognition by America

Professor de Valera, president of
the Irish Republic" made public yes
terday letter sent to NJ. Clemenceau,
as president of the peace conference,
repudiating the claim of the British
government to speak or act in behalf
of Ireland. The letter was dated May
II, 1919, ana was signed by Mr.. de
Plunkett
Peace will be signed in all proba.,
biEty, we are told, on Friday" said
Professor de Valera yesterday in his
reception room at the Waldorf-Astoria
The treaty of peace will be signed
in all likelihood by Lloyd George on
behalf of the Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Ireland Foreseeing that, we
sent on May II letter to Premier
Clemenceau repudiating the right of
the British plenipotentiarie to act for
Ireland"
The letter follows:
"The treaties now under discussion
by the conference of Paris Will pre-
sumably, be signed by the British
plenipotentiaries claiming to act on
behalf of Ireland as we'll as Great Brit
ain. Therefore we ask you to call the
immediate attention of the peace con-
ference to the warning which it is our
duty to communicate, that the people
means of declaration, has repudiated
and does now repudiate the claim of
the British government to speak or act
on behalf of Ireland. and consequently
no treaty or agreement entered into by
the representatives of the British gov
ernment in virtue of that claim is or
can be binding on the people of Ire
land.
"The Irish people will scrupulously
observe any treaty obligation to which
they are legitimately committed; but
the British delegates cannot commit
Ireland. The only signatures by which
the Irish nation will be bound are
those of it's own delegates, deliberately
chosen.
"We request you to notify the peace
conference that we, the undersigned
have been appointed and authorized by
the duly elected government of Ire
land to act on behalf of Ireland in the
proceedings of the conference and to
enter into agreements and sign treaties
on behalf of Ireland"

its nominees.
Exporters and importers are advised
that the rules do not constitute a ma
terial modification of the regulations
heretofore existing as established by
the War Trade Board
George A. Zabriskie, former Flour
Administrator of the United States and
one Of the largest -four dealers in the
city, in discussing the issuance of H.
censes to flour dealers and millers, de-
clared that speculation will be elimi-
mated. The price of wheat -four, he
said, will reflect the governments
guarantee of s2.26 and not be main
tanned on q higher basis by artificial
means.
The licensing amounts practically to
wartime control, he said. AS soon as
conditions permit a lower price will
prevail. All licensed dealers will be
refunded money when the wheat mar
ket price goes below 1925, the price
guaranteed the producers by the gov
ernment. On the other hand, he said
when the prices climb over s2.2e deal
ers will. feel obliged to reimburse the
government for the difference. The
plan is, he said, to maintain the price
as near 1926 as possible.

Toledo Mob Wrecks Cars
In Fight on Fare Raise
1000 Shipbuilders Ditch and
Stone Coaches in Protest
of Six.Cent Rate

TOLEDO, June 25.-More than two
thousand of the Toledo Shipbuilding
Company, refusing to submit to an in
crease in streetcar fare, late this
afternoon ditched two cars. Windows
in two others were smashed with
bricks. One of the cars caught fire.
The Toledo Railways and Light Com
pany to-day instituted q new fare rate
an increase of 1 cent over the old
rate. The trouble at the shipyards
started when the cars began to fill.
The crew of the first car was forced
off, and one of the passengers ran
the car to the Hooking Valley docks
where it was turned over.
The prevailing rate of fare has been
5 cents, with. l cent for transfer.
The new rate requires 6 cents and 2
cents for transfer.
