/" JUST LIFE"

Life is simply what we make it,"
We have heard this often said,
But I'm sure this could be altered,
By q soul that is not dead.
There are lives that have been
happy, ~
And were filed with fame and
praise, tttsas..s- -
But while walking on Life . journey
II has isorroWfulys been changed.
1t has changed from merry laughter
To q soul that's full of pain,
To a.soul that's wrecked in anguish
And is full Of burning fame.
And a spirit hears them calling,
Tries to bring them from the lot
But their souls doth seem to answer
Forget it not" Forget it not. "
When LIES journey shall be ended,
And we hear the call from home
l hope they'll be there with the
many,
When the Devil claims his own.

Johnson Points to
Bullitt as Witness

Kansas city Mo. Sept. 13-Tontwht
senator Johnson. one by one. attempted
to answer the arguments in behalf of
the league that President wilson has
made from the same platform as well
as those he made as recently as yes
terdaY speaking in Spokane
The testimony of Mr. Builitt. one OF
the presidents peace conference ap-
pointees. given yesterday at Washing
ton clearly indicates the adverse
opinions to the present treaty" Mr..
Johnson said early in his address
Thus we learn from a new source that
which we must have suspected all
along, that other American delegates
protested against the lnfamy of the
mark that the secretary Of state said
the American oeople would never &C
cept IL If they knew its contents fs sig
nifcant and ominous.
When President Wilson spoke to
you in Kansas City he told you his
covenant was penetrated throughoat
with the principles TO which. America
had devoted her life. Surely in view
of MI Eullitt's testimony. he must
have been speaking in an ironical vein
He could not have intended that you
take him seriously"
The senator reminded his audience
that President Wilson had told them
the league sreIled world disa tnaament
But the Californian insisted under
the covenant disarmament was wholly
optional and that Great Britain already
had gone on record as refusing to sur
render one tot or title of her SUI
premacy Of the seas. He pointed out.
as he has done in every address thus
far made. that under the league plan
this United States has now evolved a
military program to cost billion doll
lars year and involving consumption
of nineteen yea -olds and a standin q
army of $4,000 men.
