RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.

Harvest Home Grange has adopted the
following resolutions of respect:
v hereas, it has pleased our heavenly
Father to remove by ieath our worthy
brother, James S. Crockett, thus sever
ing another link in our frateTnal cham.
Whereas, his seat n our hail is forever
vacant, his voice husnad and the familiar
form has faded from our view, therefore,
be it
Resolved, that in the passing Of Broth
er Crockett, Harvest Home Grange has
lost one of its most earnest and loyal
members, ever ready to do what he could
for the good of the grange;
That we, as brothers and sisters, mourn
our loss
We do not forget to tender our heart
felt sympathy to those bound to him by
ties closer than fraterna
Resolved, that page of our records be
inscribed to his memory, that our chatter
be draped for thirty days, and a copy of
these resolutions be sent to the family Of
our departed brother, and also to the
press for publication.

ing Knox Measure.

Praise for and opposition to the
Knox resolution, now with the for

the separation of the peace treaty
from the league of nations. are be-
ing wired to senator c. A. Culberson
at Washington. by e. Paso lawyers
f. N. Reed wired Friday the fol-
lowing announcement of the resolus
ton:
As a citizen of El Paso. urge you
to oppose the Knox resolution,
wherein it is proposed to divorce the
peace treaty from the league coven-
ant. and assure you that 1 speak the
sentiment of a large majority Of the
good people of this city when I say
by Republicans and a few dreamy
Democrats. who prattle about Amer
lean ideals and seem not to realize
that If these ideals are to be protect
ed in the future it must be through a
specific understanding among the ma
lions Of the world, in the manner
proposed by the league covenant; and
that this resolution is backed by a
Republican senate, willing to go to
any extremes TO bring about the
downfall of president Wilson and a
defeat of the Democratic party"
Favoring the Knox resolution, l.
a. Dale has sent the following to
senator Culberson-
While I do not have before me

luton introduced by senator Knox

advise the president that in the opin-
ion of the senate the peace treaty
proposed to be made with the enemy
should come to the senate free from
an attempted establishment therein

judge from the press reports I have
seen Of l. that il fairly reflects the
spirit Of democracy nationally defined
reflected by the socalled covenant OF
the league. creating an autocratic in
ternationalism destructive Of the lib
critics and safeguards bought with
the blood of our fathers.
I. therefore. cannot too strongly
urge you to give the resolution your
unqualified support.
IF a league Of nations Is to be
established il should be done by free
peoples the world over after free and
untrammeled discussion. and certain
