Pitt Parker Entertains
With Chalk and Tongue

"The only difference between car
toonist and speaker is that the i'm
pressions or ideas of one are conveyed
by drawing and those of the other
by words" said Pitt Parker. His APP
pearance Saturday night was a great
success.
Perhaps his most popular cartoon
drawing was the present status of in
ternational events as an aftermath of
the great world war. The audience
greeted this well known type of car
toon with a howl of delight.
The cartoon Parker call H. c. L.
was also a success. The we'll known
typical profiteer stood pulling up
through ropes of his own the eatables
for which the diminutive consumer
down below was reaching vainly.
Parker drew a view of Mt. Vesu
vious and the bay of Naples, which
he said he had never seen. Another
popular view was that of Plymouth.

BAKER AGAINST
COURT MARTIAL
SYSTEM CHANGE
Cannot be Judged by Civil
Code Says Report Approved
by War Department.
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In ap-
proving the report submitted to him by
Maj. Gen. Francis J. Herman, head of
the special war department board on
courts martial and their procedure,
Secretary Baker today took the official
stand that the present system should
not be changed except in minor de-
tails. theoretically the secretary up
held Gen. Kernan's view that courts
martial have always been agencies for
creating and maintaining the discipline
of armies" rather than agencies for
the nice exemplifcation Of technical
rules of law
The War Department boards report
reflected the opinion of 225 officers
who were circularized. More than
half Of these gave hearty approval to
the present system, forty-three con-
demned it as basically wrong and the
remainder, total Of sixty-seven, point
ed out special weakness which they
thought should be remedied. Temper
airy officers were about equally divided
for and against any changes.
Most Serious Defect.
The most serious defect in the ex-
listing system, the report asserts,
arises from the lack of competent
trial judge advocates and counsel" and
as remedy 1t is recommended that
defense counsel be appointed for each
general and special court martial. and
that special inducements be offered
young officers to study law in order
that they may be fitted for these
and other special duties.
1T is noticeable" he report said,
that officers who served with fighting
units are as a class favorable to the
present articles; on the other hand,
officers whose duties kept them re-
mate from the scenes of battle, view
the system with a more critical eye
and manifestly compare it with Grim
inal practice in the civil community to
the advantage of the latter"

completed last Wednesday. and it is
estimated that $4,000 bushels Of grain
was threshed during the season. The

Although he said that he was a
Southerner, Presbyterian and
Democrat, Ira Landrith, the principal
speaker at the chautauqua Sunday af-
ternoon, explained that the South was
now glad the north came down to see
them in 81; that he thought no man
had a right to abuse another because
he doesn't believe in his church, and
that when his political party goes
wrong he leaves it until it gets right
again.
I'VE never could have licked the
kaiser If we had not had a united
North and South and United States.
and you can never build a great gov
eminent on sectarian beliefs. The
reason / belong to the Presbyterian
church Is not because I think it is
the best church but because think It
is the best church for me-" said Land
rith.
Il do not belong to the Democratic
party. I am just member Of it, but
I'm Democrat, and 1 know that the
Republicans are just as rotten as the
Democrats are indecent. You are a
moral acrobat If you can be straight
man and straight partisan. You
can't pray all year and then go to
the ballot box and vote for a crooked
man and go straight yourself" said
the speaker
League No Partisan Matter.
There are some questions too big
for partisanship," said Landrith. 1.-THE
of Nations is one of these
things. had no respect for Wood
row Wilson when after the war was
over, he asked the people to return
a Democratic congress, and just to
show him, I vote Republican, but
neither do I believe that a mans
faults should be made to outshadow
all the excellent things he has done.
Il am glad I have been living in
this past year when we licked the
Kaiser, got rid of John Barleycorn
and started a League of Nations. And
about the death and extinction of the
liquor traffic, I say that anybody who
goes contrary to the national prohibi-
ton amendment is an anarchist, be-
cause the amendment is now a part of
the national constitution and any one
going contrary to the American consti-
tuition is not an American citizen, but
is guilty of anarchy.
Il hate racial prejudice, "A mans a
man for a that and not his color,
his place of birth, his religion can
get away from it. Whether we have
hanging in Tennessee or a riot in Chi.
cago, I'm opposed to it," he said.
II think the most craven thing, the
most un-American thing is our uni
versal hatred of everything German
If there is an American here who was
born in Germany, and who stood a
great and strong American back of
our principles and helped us win, here
take off my hat to him." said Land
rith, and explained that he thought
the amalgamation of bloods which we
have in America is going to prove us
to be the most remarkable nation on
the face of the EARTH eventually"
Cigarettes Denounced
The biggest blunder of the war was
made when the American Red Gross
took cigarettes into the camps, Mr.
Landrith said.
