ADDRESS BY DIR. j. NJ. TAYLOR,
WORLD PROGRAM CONVENTION
Noted Missionary Gave Illustrated
Lecture at NJ. E. Church Thurs
day Night.

DR.. James M. Taylor, of New
York, in his tours Of Mission
lands, has travelled 100000 miles,
studying conditions, taking pic
lures and doing evangelistic work.
More than 100000 people of diff
ferent nationalities have sought
Christ in his meetings. He has
taken over 10000 pictures. He
carries his own dissolving stere-
opticon, his own operator, and
the pictures he shows are beauti-
fully colored, and made from
photographs taken on his tours.
DR.. Taylor's lecture is packed
with graphic descriptions, stories
of thrilling Incidents, and start
ling facts concerning world con-
ditions. He is one of Method
ism's great men.
DR.. j. M. Taylor of New York de-
livered masterful illustrated lecture
on world conditions at the Vincent
Methodist church Thursday night. DR..
Taylor, in discussing world democracy
said: "The red flag is symptom of
unrest, it is symptom of the same
unrest that brought the Mayfower.
Rightly directed, it sent the pilgrims
to New England. Wrongfully direct
ed, has brought about bolshevikism in
Russia.
Safety for world democracy is SIM
liar to the problem of prohibition. We
found local option would not work. It
was better than nothing, but saloons
in one state partially nullified the dry
conditions in another. Nationwide
prohibition was the solution. So with
the solution of the world situation.
The only way to have democracy safe
in America is to wipe out thesfestering
sores of the world to make the world
safe for democracy.
World is Unsafe-White People
Starve.
"The world cannot be made safe for
democracy while there exists in it hun
dreds of millions who will go to bed
hungry at night, never having had a
satisfactory meal in their lives, and
knowing that in all the remainder of
their lives they may never hope for
full meal.
''The world cannot be made safe for
democracy so long as three-fourths of
the people of the world live where SO
per cent of the population are litter
ate. The world cannot be made safe
for democracy so long as sanitation
and medical science are at such low
ebb that 100000 out of 100000
babies in India die, as compared with
1000, 900 in America. This gangrene
must be taken out of the human sys-
tenn. If we permit ourselves to be
lulled to sleep and attempt to build a
world democracy on top of such con-
ditions as these we but prepare the
way for an explosion that will rock
the foundation of civilization. imperil
our own as we'll as all civilized life"

THE SILENCE AT PARIS

The world has been given some inklins of the term.
which will be presented to the Germans. but it is ar
linking only. 1t is announced that the text of the peace
presented to the Germans on or about April IS. There
Is some resentment because of the maintenance Of the
veil Of secrecy over the shaping of the peace treaty. and
the resentment is not unnatural.
All of US would like to know what is in that docu.
ment. Most of us would like to occupy a position where
watch the writing Of each word. And when We are de-.
MED that which we would like to have, We are apt to be
mihed. But what would be the result, if the exact terms
Of the treaty were made public now: Immediately we
would begin to pick the thing 20 pieces No matter what
the provisions are, objection would be raised to each
the world has no confidence in the men who are shaping
the treaty. but because everybody hikes TO have a hand
in things as they are being shaped.
From the comment that would be made in the Allied
countries it would be possible for the Germans to pick
out a volume of material which they could presen, in
that the terms asked are too extreme. The German de-
mand for modification would thus have the backing of
groups of people all over the world. As the plans now
are the Germans will be confronted with the terms that
they are expected to accept before they have been adle to
lay such a foundation for thir objections.
We would like to know just what is in the treaty.
But we prefer, if the choice has to be made, that Ger
many be held strictly to conditions which, under all the
conditions, are decided on as just.

THREE MISCONCEPTIONS

A recent issue Of the Minneapolis Journal contains
he following letter from W. j. c. Lopez:
If the executive council of the proposed
league can commit the United States to war,
without the authority or the judgment of con-
sress, it is surely unconstitutional for the sentas
to ratify the treaty. If the senate is forced by
the popular clamor to ratify the treaty which
! conflicts with the constitution. its violation
should be stopped by the supreme court. There
can be no law in this world higher than the con-
stitution until it is amended and ratified by a
majority of the states. To give the decision for
making war over to an, international body. is
getting a very serious question too far away from
the people.
The senate should remind President Wilson
that he is paid for looking out for Americas
interests primarily. Also that he has been sworn
to support and protect the constitution and it is
no mere scrap of paper.
This letter, presents three not unusual, but quite i'm
portant misconceptions. y
The first Of those relates to the scope of a treaty
to which the United States becomes a party. If Mr.
Lopez will read carefully his copy of the constitution o:
the United States he will find that the constitution alone
is not the supreme law Of the land. That honorable DO.
sition is shared by all treaties made or to be made in ac-
cordance with the rules laid down. 1t may be that the
supreme court would accept Jurisdiction over a treaty
=" ELL whether Q Ino prescribed
forms had been followed in framing and, ratifyins it.
But as to Its subject matter, it is of equal authority with
the constitution, and therefore could not very we'll be de.
clared unconstitutional ..
The second misconception to be noted is that it is
proposed in the constitution of the league of nations tina,
the power to declare war. and to compel the participa.
ton OF member states, shall be vested in the league. Nc
such proposal has been made. The league men advise
and ecommend, but it remains with each separate ma.
ton to declare war or not, as 1t may deem proper.
In the third place, although it may Be a matter OF
minor Importance. We believe it to. pc a mistake to say
that the president is paid for looking after the interest.
q the country. The president of the Emitted states-any
presidents somewhat above the status of a hired man
He is the head of a great nation, chosen to his position
by the people. He receives certain sums Of money = :,
true. but it is belittlins to the nation itself to place thu
services OF its chief magistrate on the basis of bargain
and sale.

(To Be C%ontinued.)
HAS BRIGHT FUTURE.

Auckland. ew Zealand. Feb. 49,
Colonel Robert Logan, the New Zea-
land administrator of former German
Samoa, say the future of the colony
is very bright. Cattle-raising1 and
cocoanut-growing are two important
industries.
Colonel Logan said that former
German Samoa had been self-sup-
porting since New Zealand military
occupation. In 1917 trade increased
and> the figures for 1918 would have
been a record but for the epidemic Of
influenza. The increase in trade is
new nearly all with the United States.

discharge cargo in n weather in

are. merely, that the American people were certain to SUBJ
scribe the necessary sums as soon as they had been grip
ped by a proper realization OF the need and the duty. In
order to bring about this condition a vast amount Of work
was necessary. But just as It was certain that the people
would respond to an effective demand, so it was certain
that able, patriotic and public spirited men and women
would be found in sufficient numbers to make the effec-
tive presentation. That~wil be true IN this case, and the
facts are now being presented to the people. ably and
effectively. .4

THEY WANT TO COME HOME

An article by Cameron Mckenzie, published recently
in the Paris edition of the New York Herald, has brought
forth no little comment from soldiers on both sides of the
water. Mr.. Mckenzie concludes, -as the result of obser-
vations which he has made among the soldiers on the
other side. that except in a comparatively few cases there
is no particularly strong desire on the part of the Amer
lean soldiers to be returned home and reinstated in civil
life. And this attitude of willingness to- continue rather
indefinitely in the military service Mr.. Mckenzie finds
entirely reasonable and natural, inasmuch as the soldier
is provided with the means to meet all his immediate
material wants. and has $50 a month for spending money
ii he chooses to use it in that way.
|, Letters of protest from soldiers Of all grades have
been published. and the writer's make it plain that at ,eas,
Mr.. Mckenzie does not voice their sentiments. And to
any person who has had opportunity to come in contact
with any considerable number of soldiers, either personal.
" or through correspondence, it is q, matter of common
knowledge that the opinions Of Mr.. Mckenzie on this sub.
'ect are entirely wrong. The average American soldier
wants to get home and into civil life just as soon as the
government can fx it that way. And the chief complaint
that is made is that the arrangements are not being com
pleted as fast as the soldiers would like to have them.
The American army is not an army of professional
soldiers. Our men went into the military service to meet
the exigencies of a particular occasion. Because OF a
very general recognition of the need and the righteous
ness OF the cause they went in willingly and with enthu-
siasm, They were eager to get across the ocean because
IL was there that the fighting was to be done. They want.
ed to do the job up thoroughly, and to get it over with as
soon as possible. And now that the job is done they want
to get back to their regular work. They have not acouir.
ed a taste for military life. The professional side Of SOL
diering does not appeal to them. Because their duty as
citizens involved the use of military weapons they took
up those weapons, but they regard their military expert.
ence as an interlude-an interruption which they, wish to
have cut short.

MAJES ESTIC.
Company Hopes to Begin Development
at an Early Date.

Lack of funds forced the Majestic
Mining company to suspend work last
fall at a time when the appearance
of the vein was the most favorable
that had ever been exposed on the
property. But like scores of other
development companies, the directors
" ere loath to levy an assessment at
time when it would prove a heavy
burden to the stockholders, hence work
was suspended. However, through
the favorable prospect Of finding an
ore body, arrangements have been
made to dispose of block of treasury
stock which will enable the company
to begin work within the next few
weeks. The Majestic is situated north
and east of Burke and consists of
group of thirteen patented claims. A
shaft sunk on the vein near the top
of the hill shows a promising vein
with values in lead and silver, and a
tunnel is being run that will explore
the vein at a depth of 500 feet. James
Dunno, of Burke, is manager of the
company and much Of the stock Is
held in Yakima.
