THE OPIE THEATRE PLEASES

Fred Opie opened the new motion
picture theatre on the corner of High
and Chestnut streets, to the public on
Wednesday evening, April %. present
ing 1.-The Heart of Humanity
The picture was one of intense inter
est, holding the attention Of the audience
to the last moment. The horrible
scenes Of the past war were wildly
portrayed, and the height Of patriotism
found in the hearts of the mother and
the wife were prominent throughout the
story. The Municipal Orchestra rem
dered several fine selections and Father
O'Reilly gave short address in behalf
of the Victory Loan and congratulated
the city on the new theatre and paid a
compliment to Mr. Opie as one of our
progressive business men.
The theatre is first class, modernly
equipped place with a seating capacity
of two hundred and seventy five, and
was taxed to the utmost, not only once
but the second time the same evening.
The energy of Mr. Opie ought to be
incentive to other young men of Mineral
Point who are looking forward to a
successful business career.

League Of Nations

The complete text of the covenant
league shall consist at first of forty
five NATIONS and dOminions, with Ger
many and seven other countries eX-
cluded for the tiIlNe being, but eligible
to membership when they have full
filled obligations acceptable to the ort-
ginal members of the league.
The Chief Amendments.
i. The validity of the Monroe doc
trine is specially recognized.
2. 1t is provided that a member of
the league, after two years notice of
league. provided that all of it's interna-
tional obligations and all of It's Obli-
cations under the covenant shall have
been fulfilled at the time Of its with
drawal.
3. To meet the criticism that there
would be an inequality Of voting pow
er, Great Britain with her dominions
having eight votes to one for the
United States, it is provided in the
new covenant that decisions at any
meeting of the assembly or the cOun-
Gil shall require the agreement Of all
the members of the league represent
ed at the meeting"
4. No member of the league can be
made mandatory for the government
and administration Of any colony or
territory unless it be willing to accept
such trust. THIS puts it squarely up
to congress as to whether Or not the
United States shall undertake the
trust of governing any foreign people.
Aside from changes in phraseOlOgys
the outstanding amendments bearing
on the league principles are as fol-
lows:
'"The right is conferred upon the
leagues executive cSuncil to increase
it's membership by unanimous vote,
thus opening the way for the addition
of Germany and Russia to the council
when it is deemed advisable.
amendments to the covenant can
be made by agreement of the execu-
tive council and q majority Of the as
sembly, instead Of requiring the unani"
nous vote of the assembly.
"Provision is made for the right of
q member to withdraw from the league
on two years notice, thus guarantee
ing individual sovereignty"
President Wilson probably will read
the covenant at the plenary session Of
the peace conference. 1t is expected
he will make brief speech, touching
on the Monroe doctrine.

NEW LEAGUE DRAFT
IS GIVEN TO PUBLIC
Monroe Doctrine Is Protected by
the Pact.
WINS FAVOR I'M THE SENATE
Advocates of the League Predict the
Ratification Of the Covenant by
the Requisite Two-Thirds Ma
ioritS of Senate.


Washington, April 2S.-The text OF
the league of nations covenant, as re-
vised by the peace conference COM
mission, Of which President Wilson is
chairman, was issued by the state de-
partment. The covenant will be taken
up for final disposition at plenary
session Of the peace conference.
With the publication of the revised
draft, members Of the United States
senate will have before them the plan
for the preservation of world peace
which they will be called on to ratify
A number of Republican senators
among the thirty-nine who signed the
round robin" of opposition to the
covenant in it's original form, have
signified that the recognizing of the
Monroe doctrine, exemption of domes-
tic questions, like immigration, from
league jurisdiction, preservation of
sovereignty, and other amendments
they demanded, remove their objec-
tiOnS
Expect an Early Passage.
With opposition lessened, advocates
of the league are emboldened to pre-
dict the ratification of the cove
nant by the requisite tWo-thirds ma
jority Of the senate. There is still OPP
position, however, by some senator's,
who contend that the amendments are
inadequate to the protection Of the in
terests Of the United States, by others
who see no virtue in any league Of ma
tions, and by still others who contend
that the amendments have left the
proposed peace confederation tooth
less and ineffective to achieve the de-
sired results.

signed to benefit directly the Irish
laborers, whether city or rural. For
every S. rent paid on houses that
are to be built or repaired the gov
eminent will pay an equal sum.
Otherwise it would be very difficult
to remedy the situation, for private
interests would not invest in houses
from which they would get no ade-
quate return.
Ian Macpherson. chief secretary
for Ireland, says that in Dublin $40
persons out of every 1000 were
living in dwelli ngs of one room. The
situation in rural districts also is
deplorable, and the difficulty of
remedying it is doubled by the fact
there is little property on which to
levy taxes.
Hence, the government plans that
rural local authorities shall have
power to borrow money, the govern
ment paying half the interest. The
government also will detray half of
the upkeep expenses, management
and other costs in putting through
the housing scheme.
