Stockdale lectures now being held
in this city under auspices of the
Commercial club at the Orpheum
theater:
The Frank Stockdale lee
ture progrem is to be started

lecture each evening, during
the week. Tuesday excepted,
when the lecture will be given
at the noon luncheon at the

Business men, and particu-
larly retailers OF Joplin,
should attend these lectures. !,
No admission is charged, but
they are certain to be worth
good many admission prices.

BLooDsHED IS USELESS
People Who are Dissatisfied with
Their Government Can Use
Ballot to Right Any
Wrongs.
[By L. @. Martin, United Press Staff
Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Progres-
sive senators today planned speaking
tours after March 4. to advocate a
number Of measures intended to
make the people more satisfied and
render it more difficult for bolshevist
propagandists to find hearers.
Senators Iorah, Hiram Johnson,
Kenyon and Poindexter are the ones
who will probably do the campaign
ing. Borah outlined his message to
the people as follows:
"You can do whatever you want to
do with your government. without
inaugurating reign OF bloodsh ed,
| who, esafe assassination and destruc-
ton Of property. You have the bal
lot. Upon your use of 1t depends
the measure of your freedom, your
happiness and prosperity"
The measures these progressives
advocate are:
Return Of American soldiers; elm
ination Of militarism, complete re-
moval Of repressive measures upon
speech and the press, protection and
fostering of American business and
commerce against any and all foreign
aggression, and inauguration Of do
mestic program of betterment for all
the people.
Against such a policy. the progress
sives believe. bolsheyism of any type
will fail. On the other hand, 1T will
feed upon repression and wordy
abuse by legislators who are welded
to out-worn political creeds or special
interests.

criticized today by Senator Lewis.

commented on fayorably by Senator
Borah, who opposes it.
Lewis, who processes to have q
clear understanding OF President VIII
sons idea regarding the league. de-
clared Maurice is wrong in his inter
probation of what the United States
must take upon itself.
Maurice says the United States
must be the financial backer of the
league, but he is mistaken" said
Lewis. ''The United States will not,
under. any circumstances, become
money lender TO the world in gen
eral in peace time. For specific pur-
poses and in cases where the need
is well established, the United States
probably will use its financial re-
sources to help nations. But the
American people should understand
that in pledging this nation to the
support of the league President VIII
son did not bind them to assume the
money burdens of every needy ma
ton.
president Wilson will never con-
sent to the use Of American military
power. permanently or to any great
degree, to make the league fact.
"The big navy which Maurice says
is essential to arm the league for
exerting economic pressure may De

would make it necessary. Should
the league Of nations find 1t neces-
sary to coerce any nation by cutting
OF its imports for time a naSS
would be the means used. But be-
fore such step can be taken, 1t
must be approved by the united
public sentiment of the peoples form
ing the league. Our navy is for
ourselves primarily"
Borah, who opposes the league be-
cause, he declares, 1t means the
gradual eradication of national spirit,
