asked not to voice an emotion but to ap-
prove a plan. The question is one OF
vital Importance to the American peo-
pie It is a great American question and
should be discussed without partisan
bias. II the plan is a good one II ought
10 be approved regardless of Its origin.
II the plan is seriously defective or dan
serous its source should not save II
The question is presented IN advance of
the formulation OF party platforms and
should be considered upon its merits
Republican opposers VINO believe they
are right should welcome Democratic
support.
Not a Party Measure.
This counsel. Of course. is for Demo
rats as well as Republicans. II the
latter are not to oppose because they are
Republicans 1t should be equally ex-
pected that the latter will not support
because they are Democrats. The test
is not In profession. but in tho candor
with which the subject is treated"
After quoting Mr.. Taft and President
Lowell OF Harvard to indicate agree
nent on the defective drafting of the
covenant, Mr.. Hughes said: 1.-THE Ameri-
can people were entitled to a better piece
OF work, and at least IL was a mistake
to have given the impression that the
document was a finished product with a
COED reason, for its CHI ieS Of. expressions,
when later II was necessary to excuse
It a. a hasty draft which required re-
vision.
Much would have been gained" Mr..
Hughes added "if at the outset part
of the time expended in it's praise had
been devoted to its correction
MIR. Hughes then stated the views to
which his study of the covenant had led
him. He deemed II extraordinary that
clear. specific provision had not been
made as to the vote by which the Body
of Delegates and the Executive Council
respectively should act. He said the
omission had given rise to much criticism
which could easily have been averted.
He was satisfied. however, that except
as otherwise provided In the covenant
a unanimous vote would be required to
make action effective. This requirement
"deprives many OF the provisions of the
covenant either OF promise of benefit or
menace of harm from any definite action
where unaninimity cannot be had. and
reduces the covenant In large measure TO
n plan for conference"
As TO matters left to future consdera-
tion and decision. the speaker said the
covenant is nothing more than general
declaration Of intention which will de-
pend for the fruition Of the hopes and
wishes II embodies upon the subsequent
unanimous action Of the member Powers
Congress wouId Have to Act.
The carrying out OF the disarmament
provision OF Article VIII would depend
Mr.. Hughes said. entirely upon consent
the assent Of the United States to the
plan when recommended by the Exc
cutive Council would depend upon the
aofion of Congress- His general con-
c}Ision from a study Of this part OF the
article was: IT am unable TO see either
severity or hsrdship In this provision.

by Mrs. l.. NJ. Appel. whose aged
mother was taken suddenly i'll in
the afternoon and prevented Mrs.

The ladies had completely trans
formed the Commercial club rooms
by renovation, and decoration of
the walls with drawings and sill
hOuettes symbolic of the HallOWe'

decidedly clever and pleasing. The

After the program the ladies
gave the gentlemen, who were also
privileged to attend the enter

City Marshal J. q. Fuller and John

Counsel in Trial That Is One
Grand Scream.

Chester E. Haskins, junior mem
Der of the firm of Bean & Haskins
of the Holly Pharmacy, has already
realized at least one of the penal
ties of popularity and of entering
upon welded life after being regard
ed for some time as Il confirmed
bachelor.
Mr.. Haskins' numerous friends
about town allowed he and his
bride to return home from their
wedding in peace and without
mOlestation for two or three days,
and Doc" began to think that his
old friends and pals had heart
after all.

Mayor Harry d. Steele had been
selected as judge while City Mar

arraigned on charges of bigamy and
boOtlegging and the court finally
selected John Duncan as counsel
for the defendant. Some half
dozen witnesses were summoned by
the state and the defendant was
compelled to rely solely upon the
genius of his cOunsel-but "AttOr

The trial was one grand scream
from start to finish American jur-

reckless abandon while the infrac-

COMPLETE COAL FAMINE
Is NOW ON IN HOLLY
Not Pound of Coal in Bins Of Lo.
cal Dealers With Miners Strike
Set for Nov. 1.

Notwithstanding that a
strike of coal miners through
out the nation is booked for
Saturday, not a single coal
merchant in Holly has
pound of coal of any descrip-
tion in either their bins or
on track, and there is a gen
inc coal famine on here.
Supt. J. G. Fuller of the
city light and water plant,
however, states that the city
has a supply enough for 60
days. The local alfalfa mill
also has asufficient supply
for about the same length of
time.
While perhaps a majority
of residents of the town
needed the warnings of the
early summer and put in
, their winters supply, yet
there are quite number
who have not over a months
supply ahead-some even
. less.
To still more intensity this
! coal stringency the federal
government has authorized
the railroad companies to
consificate all coal in the
! state to their own use pend
: ing adjustment of the strike
in order that the trains may
I be kept running and food
! supplies moving. This means
! that all coal on track in yards
throughout the state may be
taken by the railroads, no
matter who has purchased
: it.
! The railroads, however, ac-
cording to General Supt. Dan
Orr of the Santa Fe, who was
! here Tuesday looking after
the situation, stated the
roads were using the utmost
care in protecting the public,
! and that every town would
! be given consideration to
minimize suffering or want.

ed that the boiler repairs will be
