LEAGUE TO FIX
WILSON CANDIDACY
Cummings Says Fate of Plan
May Decide Third
Term Action.

CHICAGO, May 2S.-Presldent Will
sons candidacy for a third term will
be determined largely by the fate of the
league of nations, in the opinion of Ho-
mer s, Cummings, chairman OF the
Democratic national committee, who
anne to Chicago today to preside at a
days session of that body.
While | have no information regard
ing President Wilson's intentions about
becoming a candidate for a third term
! believe the question largely rests on
the rate of the league Of nations" said
Chairman Cummings, III the league OF
nations should by any chance. be de-
feated, and this to TO my mind is I'M
thinkable, the pressure brought to bear
on the president to run again would be
very great, and | feel certain he would
be reelected. II the league of nations
is successful, ] do not think the pres
sure would be nearly as great
In the absence Of definite word from
President Wilson on the subject there
was little gossip OF candidates among
the party leaders. The names most
frequently mentioned were William G..
McAdoo and Attorney-Genera Mitchell
A.. Palmer, who will address the com
mlttee tomorrow night.
Every state wa represented by a
committeeman or a proxy when Chair
man Cummings called the body to order
in a session which formally marks the
opening of the presidential campaign
Of 1920.
Chairman Cummings praised the rec
ord of progressive achievements Of the
Democratic national administration and
declared the Republican party again
Is falling under reactionary leadership
as indicated by the recent organization
Of congress. He urged a closer coop

CRADLE ROLL CLASS

Three kids, whose ages ranged from
seven to nine, according to Policemen
Morehead and Lyons, composed the
burglar gang who robbed the store Of
X. Kupferschmidt, South Main street,

boys were arrested Tuesday night and
turned over to the jurisdiction Of the
juvenile court.
The police believe that negroes, some
what older than the kids, were the
~instigators OF the burglary. The little
boys claim that the negroes caused
them to rob the store and that they
were afraid Of the negroes.

TWO ROBBERS TO R0UT

Customers were being served and
business was fairly brisk at the dry

Arkansas street, at $40 Wednesday
morning, when two negroes entered.
The larger. negro Of the two asked to

complying the smaller negro drew a
pistol and darted toward the cash reg
lister.
R%osenstein called for help, receiving
ample assistance from some Of the fem
mime patrons, who screamed as they
sought places of safety behind coun-
ters and boxes.
Without andeavoring to quiet his
would-be victims with the pistol, the
negro bolted for the door, followed by
his companion. They had raced from
sight before R~osenstein and others re-
covered from their fright sufficiently
to look out the door. .
Policemen Oliver and Robinson An
swered the alarm, but found no trace Of
the negroes.

self not to engage in war against GER
tain foreign nations until the expiration
OF a definite period, and it has also
agreed by treaty to settle many dis
putes by arbitration, Notwithstand-
ing such agreements, congress still has
the power to declare war.
With respect to the allegation that
the mandatory provision is in conflict
with the constitution, the only question
Of a constitutional nature arising is
whether the United States is forbidden
TO govern or assist in the government
Of other countries. There is no ques-
ton under the revised draft of COM
pelling the United States to act as a
mandate. The language clearly and ex-
pressiy makes it optional.
LAS early as 1916 the United States
guaranteed the sovereignty of New
Granada over the Isthmus of Panama.
By the treaty Of 1903 we agreed to
maintain the independence of the re-
public of Panama. In 1916 the United
States by treaty guaranteed the indie
pendence OF Santo Domingo and agreed
to assist in the administration OF its
affairs. The declaration often made
that article 10 authorizes the executive
council to involve The world in wal in
It's execution is absurd. The language
of the article is in case of any such
dsSItSSlOli Vi III case OF any threat, OF
danger of such aggression, the execu-
tive council shall advise upon the means
by which the obligation shall be full
filled. 1t is perfectly clear that the
executive council can compel no action
under this article. The use Of the word
advise defeats such a construction"
Declaring Republican opponents OF
the league were attempting to make
the treaty a partisan issue, Mr.. Robin
son charged Republican senate leader
Lodge, with ridiculous inconsistency
and read the following portion Of a
speech purported to have been made by
Mr.. Lodge in an address to a peace So

ARKANSAS SOLON
DEFENDS LEAGUE
BEFORE SENATORS
Robinson Replies to Attack
Delivered by Sherman, of
Illinois, Showing FaIIaCy of
Argument Against Plan.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The league
OF nations was supported as a logical
ana practical organism, entirely con-
slstent with the American constitution,
by Senator Robinson, Democrat, of Ar
Kansas, in a speech today in the SEN
ate.
Opponents of the league, the senator
charges, are making a campaign of mis-
representation setting up flimSy obpec-
tons that the proposal violates Ameri-
can traditions. The covenant, he as
serted, in no way impairs national SOW
ereignty or sueverts American consti-
tutional principles.
The objection that the league of ma
lions treaty creates a supergovernment
is without foundation" said Mr.. Robin
son. 1T can take no action in any i'm
portant controversy without the con-
sent OF the United States. Its powers
are advisory. By the treaty it becomes
the common agent Of the signatory
powers to promote international CO.
operation and peace. 1t is our agent,
not our master"
Replying directly to the constitutional
objections raised by Senator Sherman,
Republican, of Illinois, and other league
opponents, the Arkansas senator said
the same objections applied with equal
force to many treaties entered into by
the nation in the past, n which had
been found practicable and beneficial,
"A treaty Is not unconstitutional" he
asserted, merely because 1t contains
agreements, the execution of which re-
quires the exercise of powers vested by
the constitution exclusively in the exec
utive and legislative branches of the
government. To declare that no treaty
can be made which requires legislative
action to execute it or which pledges
the. government to do something ex-
clusively within the power of the execu-
tive would nullify a large majority OF
the treaties heretofore entered into by
the United States and render the gov
eminent powerless to maintain foreign
relations

On Moral Aspects.

Turning to the moral aspects of the
league agreement, the Arkansas sena.
tor continued.
Our obligation to cooperate in the
discharge Of the responsibilities result
ing from victory are as undeniable
as our privilege TO enjoy the fruits Of
triumph. 1t would be cowardly, I'M
thinkable, for example, to leave Po-
land. Serbia. Ukraine and Jugo-Slavia
to the mercy of the central empires
should they be rehabilitated, or to
abandon to anarchy the colonies and
territories separated by the war from
the central empires.
IT Is senseless to imagine that we
have reached the end of international
disputes even among those who now
comprise our allies. 1t is equally sense.
less TO rely upon the old ~haphazard
prewar method of settling these dis,
putes. That the proposed league Of
nations would make wars improbable
seems to me conclusive. by the elimi-
nation of secrecy in treaties and the
extension of popular control to inter-
national diplomacy, comfy and good
will supersede suspicion and intrigue"

THINK A
MINUTE

WHAT is your doctors first
w question? Why does he sus-
pect constipation?
Because 90To of his patients are
suffering from ailments caused d.
rectly or indirectly by the action of
1oisons formed in a sluggish intes-
~inal tract.
These body poisons are absorbed by
tn blood and carried all over the
body until the weakest organ, unable
to withstand the poisonous contact,
becomes infected and refuses to act
properly. Unfortunately it is usually
Ct until then that the doctor is con-
ct:t- and asked to treatt the diseased
o-gaa. ....
The sureSt way of purifying the

of these destructive body poisons is

G nStipation is not a matter to be
taken lightly or neglected. N.r is
it either Sufficient or safe to take

constipation, it makes constipation
a habit.

i does not force or ~irritate the bowels.
