accordance with the contract secretly
sealed and delivered among England,
France, Italy and Japan. We talked
Of what the treaty should contain, but
the treaty when written contained
what the other nations wanted and
followed their secret bargains.
+ "Does the president intend to say
that it will put stain on our honor
if we do not carry out the secret bar
gainings which were, with duplicity
unparalleled in the worlds history,
concealed from us ?" The stain upon
our national honor, which we could
never efface, would be to carry out
with our blood the Shantung decision
of the peace conference based upon the
wicked betrayal of China, our friend
and ally in the war;"
After referring to the fact that
Great Britain has six votes to Ameri-
cas- one he said:
"President Wilson tells us that this
is of no Importance because unani-
nous vote is necessary for action. If
that is true, why not give the United
States six votes? -.-
America never has failed in any
world CRISIS Ever alert has the pub
lie been to the cry Of distress, to
the anguished prayer of the oppressed,
to humanity and to civilizations ap-
peal. In the future, as in the past,
swift and ready will be the response.
But as Americans, the response must
be ours.
eve alone must determine when and
how we come to the rescue of any
people or any country. Submitting
the republic with it's ideals and its
altruistic motives to the decision of
foreign council destroys every power
for good and for peace the republic
possesses. To submit it to council
of nations gorged with territory now,
wherein we'll be bound in honor to act,
is to remove the greatest influence for
high purpose the world possesses to-
day.
"There is but one course for us to
/ pursue, and that is the way that has
ever been ours from the birth of our
country to the present day-the
American way.
"The United States should have the
same voting power that Great Britain
does, and am opposed to acquiescing
in the covenant and then making a
little mild protest by way Of reserva-
ton. We should amend. This amend
ment will help some.'' y =
Senator Johnson's address is too
lengthy to produce verbatim ct liter
atm, but the. foregoing covers many
of the high points in his arrangement
of the league of nations covenant
which, if ratified in it's entirety, would
mean the Standardization of the
UnlCeQ STATES.
Senator johnson is an orator of re-
markable ability and the legislators,
before whom he spoke last Friday,
were almost unanimous in declaring
his address to be the greatest they had
ever heard. Some of them ikened
him unto Roosevelt while others de-
clared that his oratory was superior
to that of the sage of Oyster Bay.
At any rate the thunderous applause
of his vast audiences in both St. Paul
and Minneapolis demonstrated that
his. hearers fully conceded with him in
his denunciation of the league Of ma
tions covenant.

POST OF THE LEGION
Organized at the ArmOry on Monday
Evening and Temporary Of
ficers Are Elected.
Major Caswell of An0ka Explains i'm
Brief Speech Purposes of the
American Legion.

Something like hundred soldiers,
sailors and marines gathered at the
armory on. Monday evening in re-
Spouse to call for effecting the orga->
nization Of local post of the Amer
lean legion. The assemblage was one,
of the most enthusiastic that ever
gathered in the armory and the pro-
gram arranged for the occasion could
scarcely have been more appropriate.
The proceedings started with a,
smoke social and card games were.
played by many of the boys. A spe-~
cial feature was introduced by Billy,
Potts of Wahkon in the shape of an
oriental dance known as "Cyra," and
it was certainly a terpsichorean event
Of merit. Billy was one of troupe Of
travelling entertainers with the A. E..
F.. in France and the Cyra dance was
his special stunt. Miss Anna Wikeen
was the pianist.
At the close of this gyratory feaz-
ture Major A. A. Caswen of Anoka.
in a brief address which was appreci-
ated and applauded, outlined the pur-
poses of the American legion and ad-
vised every service man., whether he
was overseas or not, to enroll his name
on the roster of American veterans Of
the world war. Its underlying theme
is Americanism, said the speaker; it
is purely civilian organization and
is nonpolitical. Major Caswell has
studied the tenets of the American
legion's constitution and hence was
able to talk intelligibly on the sub.
ject. =.
A temporary organization was eff.
fected with the following officers: o.
car Wikeen, commander; Max Cordi--
ner, adjutant; and William Roos, fnan-
cial officer .---<
About so of the boys present at ties
meeting enrolled and the others WIFI
later sign the roster AS it is neces-
seary to make an examination of the
discharges before enrolment, the time
was too short on Monday night to get
all names on the roster, so the coun-~
try boys, who do net often come to-,
town, were given the preference
Those living in the village can sign,
up at any time they so desire.
A resolution was adopted to name
the post after the first man who gave
his life in the service of his country
in this district. A committee was ap-
pointed to investigate and given DOW
er to act.
The date Of the next post meeting.
will be announced in the Union later:
Captain Morton of Princeton has
been appointed Mile Laos county
chairman by r. c. Andrews of the
tenth congressional district, and all in
formation regarding the legion will
be cheerfully furnished by him:
Now, let all the boys who have not
yet enrolled do so without delay and
get on the roster as charter members,
DO it now.

II BILLS ARE PASSED
Tonnage Tax Measure Goes Through
Both Houses But is Vetoed by
Governor Burnquist.

Primary Election Bill, Most lmpOr-
tant of All Measures, Fails to
Pass Either House.
At the close of ten-day extra ses-
sion the Minnesota legislature adj
journed, although an effort was made
to prolong it's deliberations another
week.
In all II bills were passed, including
the tonnage tax measure, which was
vetoed by Governor Burnquist. In his
veto message he said that sudden re-
versal of opinion on the part Of so
many members following the defeat of
a similar bill at the regular session
shows the advisability Of further de-
liberation on tonnage tax legislation.
He stated that while member of the
legislature he concluded that to single
out one section of the state or one of
it's industries, as proposed in this
measure, would be unjust and that he
has found no reason for changing his
opinion.
Primary election reform, considered
by many people the most important
question before the session, failed alb
solutely. The nonpartisan league and
the labor political organization had
aroused large number of people to
alarm over the prospect that the
primary law was to be "emasculated,"
and many members who sincerely
wanted change got cold feet, turning
against even the Norton bill for dou-
BILE primary which provided for no
conventions at all.
The senate turned down fiat reso-
luton identical with that passed by
the house allowing each member 500
as expenses of the session. While the
house members can draw money ,un-
der their resolution, they can only do
so in accordance with the rule laid
down by the attorney general, which
provides that they must certify to
every item as expense for stationery,
postage, telegraph or telephone bills
incurred during the session. And
there are some of them who will do it.
Below is an epitome of the principal
legislation enacted at the extra SEES
sion.
Woman suffrage amendment rati-
fled.
Tonnage tax on iron ore passed but
vetoed by governor
Service mems aid bill carrying $780,
100000 for Minnesota soldiers, sailors,
marines and nurses.
State regulation of cold storage in
dustry.
Commissioner of agriculture given
broad powers to investigate and make
public facts regarding prices of neces-
saries of life.
~ State officers authorized to raise
100000 to avert calamities such as
forest fires, or to relieve stuff ering af-
ter such calamities.
Salaries Of district judges raised
$500 year.
Railroad and warehouse commission
given supervision over livestock COM
mission men and funds to spend on
supervision of stockyards. .'' =
New flood control measure, and
funds provided for averting flood
damage.
Railroad and warehouse commission
authorized to spend 5000 on an ex-
perimental flour mill.

pensate for losses by tornado.
Uniform law regulating sale of
eggs.
Life imprisonment made penalty for
bank holdups.

was a hand-a waving hand-a hand
that said, go away-go away-go

to me.
An instant later I saw face and
recognized Mrs. Delario. Then the face
was gone and the hand said, go
ay!" again and disappeared also.
Monsieur, seeing me standing, ap-
parently interested in something hap
pening upstairs, pulled the shade out
little farther. So what did was de-
liberately to cross the street and sig
nal him to raise the window.

The window was raised about six
inches and monsieur put his evil, ratty

Judging from her letter, the mis-
cry and wretchedneSs endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, r. F. d. No. 1,

been terrible. No one, after read

of PE-RU-NA for troubles due
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
