in the world is given more than q
single vote. This is the greatest in
Juice found in the league covenant.
Why should these colonies be en-
titled to vote in this Assembly Z?
Let US see. Remember thi body deals
with international relations exclu-
sively in their prevention of wars.
Do any of these colonies of Great
Britain have control of their foreign
relations? No. They are all looked
after by Great Britain Do any of
these colonies send ministers or am
bassadors to represent them in any
foreign country? No. Great Brit
ain does it all. Does any foreign coun-
try send any ministers or ambassa-
doris to any of these colonies to look
after the interests oftheir subjects
therein? No. They do all this
through Great Britain. Do any of
these colonies have the power to
make treaties with any foreign coun-
try? No. Great Britain does it all.
All these things being true, the
question arises, why should these col
onies, which have no rights to main
tain any foreign relation whatever,
De given a vote in this Assembly in
determining questions of foreign re-
ations among other nations? Echo

answers, why? I have never had this
question answered satisfactorily yet.
How will this work out in practice?
Let US take an example that may
come up. Suppose we have a dis
pute with Canada over some question
like Chinese immigration, or liquor
smuggling, or a boundary question
such as came UP few years ago, and
it was referred to the League. This
would come before the Council for
settlement. Would Canada appeal it
fro mthe Council to the Assembly?
Most certainly. Why? Because in
settling dispute the two nations who
were parties to the quarrel should
not have vote in the decision, but in
the Assembly the five other votes of
the British Empire would be free to
vote, their votes would undoubtedly
be cast with the side of Canada, and
their votes might decide the question.
Herein lies the great injustice. Do
we want to be party to such a
League? Most certainly not.
A vote for Harding and Gooding
will be vote to prevent this injustice
being perpetrated on US, and the bal
ance of the world. Both are pledged
against it.

Automobiles COllided.

Startling stories of terrible
wreck in which two automobiles were
smashed and several persons hurt
and the coroner and two physicians
were rushed to the scene," gained cir
culation here today. The story traced
down proved to be that Sheriff Woody
and Glen Grice were being driven in
to the country to distribute election
supplies in Albert Neeley's taxi-cab,
when the car collided with Ford
near the cemetery. The story is that
Medley tried to turn around a wagon
in front of him and met the Ford
which was also turning out to pass
the wagon. The Ford is said to have
been badly smashed and the other
slightly damaged, while the driver
of the Ford, whose name could not
be learned, was painfully bruised but
no one was badly hurt.

Gentlemen:
1t having come to my notice that
certain parties who claim to be inter-
ested in the election of county of
ficers opposed to the present incum-
bents, and to promote that object are
about to circulate certain statements
derogatory to- the manner in which
the affairs of Latah County have
been administered during the last
two years, desire to make known to
the people of Latah county that lie be-
ing candidate for the legislature on
the Independent ticket am a represen-
tative of organized labor, and as such
being true to the principles Of such
organization, fair and honest deal
toward all, have not, and will not
take part in any effort to malign the
character of the present officials of
either this county or state. The rec
ords of the present incumbents are
open to just and honest criticism
where such is deserved, but at this
late day any attempt to gain political
advantage by what is termed mud
singing will not receive my endorse
ment
Very respectfully.

Re-League of Nations

The League of Nations is primarily
a body dealing with international re-
lations, supposed to be for the pur-
pose of preventing future wars. 1t
has two governing bodies; the AS
sembly, in which each country belong
ing has one vote, and may have as
many as three representatives, and
the Council, composed of nine mem
bers, five named by the League arti-
cles and four chosen by the Assembly
When two members of the league
quarrel is taken before the Council
for trial, but either one may request
that the question be tried before the
Assembly instead of the Council, and
it then automatically goes there. In
this way most of the questions COM
ing up for settlement may be tried
before the Assembly instead of the
Council.
In this Assembly the following col
onies of the British Empire are en-
titled to a vote and representatives.:
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, In
dia and South Africa, five in all,
which, together with Great Britain,
gives the British Empire six votes
in this Assembly. No other country

DRAMATIC SITUATIONS,
SUSPENSE AND BIG THRILLS


The person who likes motion pic
ture filled with action and scenic
beauties will not be disappointed in
James Oliver Curwood's ''The Cour-
age of Marge O'Doone," which will
be shown at the Liberty theatre Octo-
Der 1929. 1t is a film of intensely
dramatic situations, suspense and big
thrills. The magnitude of the pro-
duction can only be comprehended by
seeing the picture thrown upon the
screen. Animals play important roles
in "The Courage of Marge O'Doone, !"
and Director David Smith has obtain
ed some very unusual results with
these dumb players. The story
hinges on the actions of Baree, an
outlaw dog, and Tara, tame bear
These animals save the lives of David
Raine and Marge O'Doone.

with human sewage. and Is prevented
by proper disposal Of sewage and the
use Of good water.
In other words, typhoid fever is al
ways the result Of violation Of simple
and well-known precautions, for
which there is no good excuse at pres
ent.
Pennsylvania has shown the world
what publication Of water will do to
lessen typhoid fever. Severe epidem-
les at Plymouth in 1885, Pittsburgh
and Allegheny in 1900, and Butler in
1903 have taught the people Of Pen
nsylvania a hard lesson. About 1906
the legislature passed a new health
law, and for the first time a whole
time Commissioner of Health was ap-
pointed, with with powers and a lib
eral appropriation.
One Of his first acts was to improve
the water supplies of the state, with
the following results: 1906, number
of deaths from typhoid in the state
3,917, or 54.8 for each 100000 of pop.
ulation. 1914, number of deaths

Association.
Take typhoid fever, for example.

prime of life One case in every ten
results in death. Those who recover
lose from four to six weeks of time,
and often are not in fit condition for
a much longer period. The disease

It has also been shown that where

improvement Of the water, we also
avoid from two to three cases Of other
diseases, SO that the actual saving is
much greater than that shown by the

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa, Dec. 13.-
The log of the Pershing Way, the
tentative draft Of which has just been
completed at international headquart-
ers here, shows that the highway is
2,020.3 miles long, runs through six
ty-eight provinces, counties and par
ishes, includes $50 towns and cities,
and runs through more interesting
touring country than perhaps any
other highway in the country.
There are no long dull stretches in
the P. w, but the tourist finds a wide
ly varied country, rich in scenic
beauty, historic importance, and in
dustrial and agricultural interest.
The preliminary work of locating
and organization has been completed
| and the association will begin now its
! real functions. which are those of
publicity and advertising. This will
be done by books, touring guides, the
Pershing Way Magazine maps and
specvial articles for the newspapers
and magazines. The Pershing Way
has attracted wide attention, and
headquarters is constantly receiving
requests from other highways for adj
vice and information.
