our Moral Obligation To
Support League of Nations as
Viewed BY Req. J. r. Cosop

a. ~~~~~---~
Tue whole OF our army had gone
through TO Berlin, and the land filled
win waste and desolation. Every
branch OF her army has been disman-
tied' and her representatives forced
70 sign terms Of peace humiliatine in
the extreme, to a proud and intelli-
gent nation.
League Of Nations Essential
The achievement Of victory is one
task; to make permanent the results
is another. The safeguarding Of
weak nations cannot be accomplished
without international alliance. Some
of us who were raised ON state rights
and local sovereignty have lived to
see the absolute need of a strong CEN
tral government. When completed it
may not represent an absolute guar
antee against war, but it constitutes
our best hope. Our awful experience
IN our relation to the world carnage
should teach us the folly of isolation.
we cannot live alone if we would.
II the League of Nations be essential
TO complete the purpose Of war, then
its moral obligation becomes binding
IN our relation to the League cove
nant. The principle of the League is
one thing and its particular form an
other. | would not extend the idea of
moral obligation to the latter. 1t will
be most difficult to write perfection
in terms of the League. The rights
and sovereignty of each nation is to
be safeguarded. 1t will be necessary
for each to make certain concessions.
AT best, all governments represent
compromise. President Wilson should
have the credit due him of having
Gone his best He stood in the pro-
ceedings of the League conference
like bulwark against all low and
selfish ideals suggested. do not pro-
pose to be an expert as to the things
obtainable in the pending form of the
League covenant. Under rule it goes
before the Senate of the United States
for ratification. Some of the senators
may have more partisanship than
craftsmanship. If so the shame is up
on them. | am not the Judge or &C
cuser. However this may be, If they
were to fail in the conscientious dis
charge of their duty, they would be
our respect. We are an i'm
patient people and full of intolerance
The Lakeland evening telegram. (Lakeland, Fla.) 1911-1922, 1919-10-14

This is especially true in its relation
to declarations. In the Constitutional
convention in 1887 the 55 representa-
tives of our forefathers struggled in
fierce debate from May 25th to Sept.
18th before the final adoption. The
people were as impatient and denun-
ciatory then as now. Without any
disposition to enter a plea of defense
for anybody-no one is in need Of
this, safety Is in thorough considera-
ton. It Is much easier to get into
trouble than out. In the multitude Of
council there is wisdom. It should
be considered as an American issue
and not a partisan question. It Is q
low grade of craftsmanship that
would seek any partisan advantage
out Of the pending issue. Our boys
have a right to expect better things
of us. We are under the most sacred
obligation not to break faith with
them. All true Americans must de-
sire the most favorable terms for our
government, yet I am frank to ex-
press the opinion with certain reser-
yations, 1t is better to accept objec-'
tionable features rather than have the
League itself defeated. However,
am not doubtful as to final results.
have such confidence in the loyalty
and patriotism OF our senators, as to
believe that final decision will give
general satisfaction.
Conclusion
The increase Of the unit by which
we are related TO others becomes the
measure OF our individual increase.
We have reached the point when It Is
time for us to shed our horns of OPP
position, claws Of hate and hoofs oil
oppression and become related to our
fellows in the spirit of good fellow
ship and cooperation II we cannot
be at peace among ourselves, how can
we hope to be in our world relations
II we be Christians then we must
have the Spirit of Christ which was
one Of world consciousness. His gos
pei stands for world redemption

sion of a stronger. The avowed pur-
pose was to make the world safe 70,
democracy The implied purpose was
to whip Germany, as a condition to
this end. 1t is difficult for the mag
iration to conceive or words describe
The bigness Of the task. Only those
who were on the battle front can
know. The allied armies did nobiy
and bravely their part. In the day O.,
final reckoning our enlisted boys will
have a conspicuous place on the
brightest page in the record of great
heroes. 1t was the moral purpose be-
hind the war that created the splendid
morale of our army, and made our
soldiers invincible and victorious on
the battle fields of Europe. 1t was
the high motive of unselfishness that
created parental willingness in Civ
irg their sons to the dangers and
sUfferings of the battle field.
Power Of Moral Obligation
Within the realm of human activ..
ties there is no force greater than
the sense OF moral obligation. In our
accepted ideals right and honor hold
the ascendancy' The browning glory
of our civilization will be written in
the lives Of heroes and heroines
whose devotion to high ideals and
principles was stronger than the love
Of life or fear of death. These high
ideals will be the more precious to
us because of the price paid that they
might live.

GRAIN MARKERS

CHICAGO, March 1O.-Authoritative suggestion that wheat might command as high as $3.50 bushel, gave the corn market today forcible upturn. The close was strong at 29sc to 4hc net advance, with May $135% to s1351A and July $1.291z to s1.3S&. Oats gained 11GcStO % and provisions soc to s1.
 Buying of corn took on immense proportions chiefly as a result of a statement from Director General Hooker of the inter-allid relief organi- zation as the price effects of greater European needs than had been ex- ected.
 Oats were strengthened decidedly by the same influence that affected corn.
 Provisions jumped quickly to the maximum limit. Big clearences from New York suprred the market upward, and so too. did higher prices for corn and hogs.

PHOENIX. Ariz., Mar. 10-Governor Campbell vetoed another bill today, the measure which proposed to give a bonus of $10,O00 to the owners of the oil well in Arizona which first ran a capacity of 50 barrels a day for a period of 30 days.
 In his letter to the legislature, the governor pointed out what he believed to be the unconstitutionality of the bill, quoting a court decision to sup port his contention that the state could not offer such a bonus.

SERVES IN
WAR WITH
RED CROSS
Sisters Nurse While Brothers
Fight Boche; Miss Nelson
Back from Work in
Battle Area.

Sixteen months ago when all Eu-
rope was shiyering from the effects
Of the great world war, when the
allied and German armies were
struggling in the battles that will
forever be imprinted in the world s
history, Miss A. Helen Nelson, gave
up her position as head nurse at the
Chickasha hospital to help make
the world safe for democracy. She
has just returned after doing her bit
on the shell-torn and blood-stained
fields in France.
Miss Nelson enlisted for overseas
service with the Red Cross and was
first assigned to duty in the vicinity
Of Paris. She was later sent into
the Lorraine sector where she re-
NAMED for three months, during the
time the famous campaign was be-
ing conducted in that sector. After
the three months service near Lor-
raine, she was again sent to a
Red Cross hospital near Paris,
where she remained for several
months.
Soon after her arrival in France,
Miss Agnes Nelson, her sister, en-
tered the Red Cross for service in
America. She was assigned to duty
in the hospital at Post field, Fort
Sill, and has been stationed there
since her enlistment nine months
ago
Misses Agnes and Helene have
two brothers who offered their ser
vices to their country in the fight
which has resulted in the deposition
o fthe kaiser. One brother, Private
Oscar Nelson, has been in France
for more than a year, and partici-
pated in the Meuse-Argonne cam
paign. Their father, A. H. Nelson,
lives near Chickasha.

ut is the desire of city officers
that the street department shall not
be forced to cut weeds on any of the
vacant lots within the city limits,
but this will be necessary unless
the owners have the weeds moved"
he added
Mayor Durbn points out that
patches of weeds forms an excellent
breeding place and place OF pro
lection for bacteria and that it is
necessary to keep the weeds moved
as a prevention against the spread
