Mcnamara and the boys asso-
ciated with him in the inhuma II
crime committed on the bank of
Nv of River some time ago, should
go to the electric chair. There
should be no halfway measures.
The testimony before the court in
Memphis this week but emphasizes
the brutality of the men.
And the same fate should be
meted out to every man who COM
mlts such crime. Because the
man is rich and the girl is poor
does not lessen the crime, but really
makes it the more reprehensible,
because the young mau probably
considered that the different sta
tlons in life would make it ilnpos-
slble to convict him for his crime
even if he were arrested.
Another thing. Ralph Davis.

fenseless girls and turn the worst

Have World Task.

II am altogether in accord with the
principles expressed in the farewell
address of Washington" Senator Owen
continued. But the day of American
isolation has long since ended. Our
interests are bound up in the welfare
and happiness of mankind. We are
no longer isolated. We are face to
face with the duty and the task of
using the influence Of this great ma
ton to bring about the security and
peace of the world.
1--WE cannot afford TO have another
world war. The interests of the
American people demand peace, Sc
curity and stability In order that
they may enjoy the rights guaranteed
by our Constitution Of life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness.

would expect that this first formula

TONS
Replying to critics who asserted
that article I of the proposed consti-
tuition would authorize the supreme
council of the league to invade the
sovereignty of the United States, Sem
ator owen declared he was sure Great
Britain, France, Italy and Japan did
not contemplate granting this right
to the league: and added:
1T is not necessary for the league
to interfere with the Internal affairs
of any member nation"
So that there would be no misin-
depreciation of the powers Of the
league in this matter, Senator Owen
recommended that the proposed con-
stituion be amended so as to provide
that nothing contained in the in
strument itself should be construed
as granting any rights to the league
over the internal affairs of mem Der
nations, but that every member ma
tion should be recognized as having
complete right over its emigration
and immigration, it's imports and ex-
ports and all its domestic affairs
without any interference whatever by
the league"

 As a result of this action, the Dominion Labor Congress cancelled the charter of the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council and announced that an effort would be made to form d new council in Winnipeg to include the local organizations opposed to the One Big Union plan. Among the or ganizationS which rejected this idea of having One Big Union were the Railroad brOtherhOOds and the Amer iCan Federation of Labor.
