MR.. WILSON srAKEsTHE U. s. A
What is it that gives to Mr.. Wilson tn

What is it that gives to Mr.. Wilson the
power that the press tells US he
wields over the peace conference? 1t
is not the personal appeal of Wilson,
bimself, There are scores of other in.
dividuals throughout the world, some
of them in Paris now, who, were they
given the opportunity, could clothe IN
language beautiful as that of Wilson
glitterIng prospects for the future Of
mankind that he holds out as the nat
ural result of the adoption of his league
of nations.
Mr.. Wilson's Importance in the minds
OF the other negotiators at the peace
table arises from the fact that he is the
President of the United States, and the
chief representative of the great Repub-
lie across the seas. To their imagln-
alton he represents in his own person
the might of the great nation Of the
west. That feeling is seemingly cul-
tivated by Mr.. Wilson himself. An
evidence of that deduction is found in
his cablegram to the House Naval Com
mittee to authorize q huge naval pro
gram, patiently for the sole purpose Of
demonstrating to his colleagues around
the green table that he has individual
power to make and break navies, to
raise and demobilize armies, and to use
the immense resources of this country
according to his individual caprice. In
short he has conducted cunning cam.
paign to impress upon the delegates Of
England, France, Italy. and Japan that
America, with her boundless wealth, is
his, to all intents and purposes, to bar.
ter as he sees fit.
Neither Mr.. Wilson not he astoun.
ding economic policies that he has ad-
vocated during his regime in the White
House contributed q penny
toward that wealth; in fact he
and his administration have placed q
mortgage upon the country, entirely in.
dependent of the expenses necessary to
the conduct Of the war, that it will take
years to liquidate. The wealth and
position Of the United States haye been
created and won through period oi
$50 years by the ceaseless endeavor oi
her citizens, working under constitut.
ion. with representative form of gov
ernment that has proved itself to be the
best ever devised TOR any peoples. With
their industries protected from foreign
invasion, with labor standard the
highest in the world, and with initiative
and energy second to none the Ameri
can. people. free from entangllng for
eign alliances, have achieved the com
mand,ng position they now hold. Amer
lca is the key to the whole Western
Hemisphere. Not only that but Europ.
recognizes that unless il has the cooper
alton OF America no so.called league o
nations can be made effective.

"DoN'r ARGUE. DON'T LISTEN

Below we give an extract from one of
the leading articles published in the
Nonpartisan Leader of last week 1t is
one of the most glaring articles of ignor-
ance we have seen printed. 1t tells the
members Of the Nonpartisan League not
to discuss the issues of the new laws
with any one, but wants them to ignore
any arguments that the opposition. may
suggest. Did any one ever hear such q
bold confession before? II the issues
cannot stand discussion with the neigh
Dor who believes differently then there
must be something radically wrong
with the laws enacted. Here Is what
the Leader says
''Courage farmers! Don't get scared
now. Don't let any man, or any set Of
men. get between you and your leader,
Mr.. Townley. Don't let any argument
put out by your old time enemies and
robbers turn you now against the laws
passed by your last legislature. Don't
vote for any new law suggested by your
old time oppressors.
Don't let their arguments about high.
er taxes cause you to vote with your
enemies. It costs something to destroy
an evil syste q in the state. Be sure to
vote the way your leader tells you and
by and by your taxes will come down to
stay down. To listen to any other man
now than your own chosen leaders is fol-
" and will bring sure ruin and disaster
to your welfare. Don't argue, don't
listen; don't give one second Of time to
the men, whether your neighbor. your
doctor, your banker, your merchant, OF
your preacher, who wants to persuade
you. Tell all such men to 60 to Halifax
where they blow things up Wholesale =

when q church starts out to raise tidy
little sum like slO5, ,O00. 600 the world is
not staggered even it it does happen to
be the greatest religious budget Of his
tory. Measured in men and money the
Missionary Centenary of the Methodist
Episcopal Church is the biggest under
taking Of the sort ever attempted. The
significance Of this movement, however,
is not in the sum OF money to be raised,
but in its breadth Of purpose, how the
sum is to be used. The goal set by the
Centenary is to raise the standard Of
living and level of thought in every part
Of the world, to extend the mlnistrations
Of the church andinauence OF Christian
ity to all peoples.
The churches of the Helena area are
unanimously standing behind the Cen.
tenary movement. There never was
such unanimity in the church. The
Helena area has the distinction before
the National church of being the first
area to go over the top in getting the
full number of tithers, which is twenty
per cent Of the entire membership of
the church. A tither is q man who has
dedicated one tenth of his income for
christian work. The financial cam.
paign is very small part Of the Cen.
tenary work. The Centenary is work.
ing to lift every church in the land to a
modern efficiency basis. The church is
no longer merely place for prayer
meetings and Sunday service; the church
is to be open seven days in the week
and will be of great assistance in COM
muuity for every kind of community
service.
The amount asked is based upon a
survey of Methodist work all over the
earth. 1t Is divided into quotas for
every area and district of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. To help IN attain.
ing the financial goal set and the spirit
'ual enrichment of meeting the world
call for Christaih civilization IN a way
to be commensurate with the need, the
Church is entering upon nationwide
publicity campaign which will not
alone utilize all the usual publicity
avenues of the church, but Will include
the newspapers of the country and the
religious press, an organization of lay
speakers known as Minute Men," and
also the bill posting industry. The bill
posting interests are giving to the
church for the campaign 100000 worth
of space, $4,000 islands," throughout
the country on which twenty. four
sheet posters will be displayed during
the actual period of the drive. A reg
'ular editorial staff of newspaper men
has been employed to take charge of
the publicity bureau during the cam
paign. Magazines and papers are Civ
ing wide publicity to this movement.
The Centenary movement is only per-
cursory 10 larger inter.church move
ment in which thirty denominations
have united to put on gigantic drive
year from now for s2.500,OO0.O00. The
world is in such chaos that the church
must now do her utmost, if civilization
is saved and if righteousness shall pre-
vail on earth.

Governor Ben w. 0lcott spent a
year in Ashland some time ago,
when he worked on the Homes ranch

that period was several years ago,

his stay here Sunday night when he
came to Ashland in the airplane from
Portland on his way to Sacramento
he renewed his old-time acquaint-
ance with the Homes family and

Can't Fall Out
Of Flying Plane

1T isn't the summersaults and
other air stunts ! mind riding in an
airplane." remarked Milton r. Klep-
per, president of the Aero Club OF
Portland while in Ashland Monday
on his way to Sacramento with the
air fleet returning from the Rose
Festival. "It's the passage over the
mountains The fact that one is
several thousand feet in tie air with
no place to land should anything go
wrong is very disquieting, to say the
least. That was what we went thru
coming here from Portland, especial
ly thru the Cow Creek Canyon. When
the plane breaks thru the clouds and
you see only rugged mountain peaks
below you, with scarcely an inch OF
level land, YOU hope your sailing
gear is all right.
"You cant fall out when the
plane turns upside down." he furth-
er remarked. "You are not only
firmly to the seat, but the
force holds you in. This
was demonstrated Saturday while
making the trip here from Portland.
The lieutenant-colonel while making
repairs on his plane left his oil can
sitting on the plane, and after going
thru all the maneuvers the can was
found Just where he had left IT,"

ington, died at Seattle Saturda!

At the age of 23 Lister was elected
to the Tacoma city council. In 1897
Governor John r Rogers named him
chairman of the Washington state
board of control. When his term eX-
pired he established the Lister Con-
Istruction company at Tacoma and

products. At one time Lister ran for
congress but was defeated.

nominated Lister as their candidate

described as Spectacular and
whirlwind" campaign. AS result he
was elected. The Republicans, how
ever, carried every other state office.
In 1916, Governor Lister was re-
elected.

took an active hand in the activities
of the state council Of defense. He
was also prominent in the national
organization Of state governors. In
Washington he urged economy In
public affairs, advocated rural cred
its, and was supporter of good
roads.
After a virtual collapse early this
year during the session of the state
legislature of Olympia, Governor Lis
ter was ordered to cease his execu-
tive duties and rest Lieutenant

ter was taken to Tacoma, his home
