Portland. Ore, Feb. 1s. ~ Former
President VIM. H. Taft today, In a
speech, predicted that the Senate
would ratify the great covenant Of
Paris" He characterised the objec-
tions Of some Of Its opponents as ire
dictionary"
"On the whole we should thank God
that such a great advance towards the
suppression of war m the promotion
OF permanent peace has been taken as
IN the agreement on this constitutions
he declared.
Taft addressed the northwestern
congress for a league OF nations. It
was his first complete statement on
the league Of antfons constitution.
Regarding the objection of Senator
Poindexter that the constitution mini
mizes the sovereignty of the United
States. Taft said:
That is a reactionary doctrine that
belongs to the German view of the
state. 1t leads directly I o the pro-
posal that might makes right"
Taft said in part:
when President Wilson returns to
present the result OF his visit to Europe
II must be that the American people
will welcome him with approval and
congratulations upon the success of the
congress in which he has taken so
prominent a part.
''The nation is thus pledged TO N
idea of a league OF nations to render
peace permanent. Good faith requires
that what other nations are willing to
undergo to secure the peace of the
world, we should ourselves be willing
to assume. Only now after the war,
after the reaction that the ending OF
war brings and after impationce at the
delays in reaching peace conditions, do
we hear on the floor OF the Senate the
criticisms of a league of nations.
"No reasonable and patriotic and
properly self-respecting citizen or the
United States can claim that our SOW
ereignty should be more than a right
to freedom Of action within the iimita-
lions OF International law. international
morality, and a due regard for the
rights OF other nations. The only SOW
ereignty which we ought to claim 10
sovereignty regulated by these limi-
.tations. w.. y q
Now the league does not propose 10
any way further to restrict that SOW
'~ereignty but only through the joint
compulsion OF all nations to keep q

proper and existing limitation. The

is only a partnership Its power is in

WHAT CHURCH PEOPLE
PROPOSE AZ TO MOVIES

Huron, 8. d., Feb. 1a.-Dr. III. p.
Carson. a leader In religious circles OF
South Dakota, made public the follow
Ing statement regarding the bill intro
duced In the legislature making all
motion picture films subject to censor
ship and the closing picture houses on
Sunday: T.. lid
""The legislative committee repre-
senting the church recreation OF South
Dakota heartily believes In the useful
ture shows when the exhibit only moral
and proper pictures and at a proper
time. - *.
The bin establishing a board OF re-
view for motion pictures was intro
duced because the legislative committee
was urged to do so by thoughtful peo-
pie OF the cities as well as in the rural
districts OF our state who realize the
danger from lack Of such censorship.
A careful study of the bill viii show
its provisions include an inspector or
inspectors wherever needed to promote
censoring and approval and SO II will
facilitate and elevate the moving pic
ture business in the state.
After n film has been once ex-
amined and approved and so labeled 1t
will be lawful to exhibit sncfl a, film as
many times as desired in the state by
moving picture establishments and as
long as the film remains unchanged.
Just such a law as this is now in force
in Kansas. Ohio and Illinois each have
a similar law. gr.r %
The bill pertaining to Sunday closing
OF picture houses only purposes to
amend a flaw in the law as it Is now
in the adopted code of 1919 and that
law forbids but one thing and that n
thing forbidden Is commercializing
Sunday. Such a law is now in force
in the state of New York. y
