MarshalIs odd Fashioned
Democracy"


While the race for the Republican
presidential nomination is a free-for-
all, Democratic aspirants have been
slow about advancing their candidacy
because President Wilson has not yet
made known his attitude toward a third
term in the White House. However,
there Is nothing to prevent prominent
Democrats from discussing issues"
and already a number of them have
placed their ideas of a party platform
before the public.
Most interesting Of all these declara-
tions thus far is that of Vice President
Marshall who announces himself as a
candidate for delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention. 1t seems
that he will get the job. 'NOf course,
Indiana will send Tom Marshall to San
Francisco" prophesies the st. Joseph
viii be placed on the platform commit
tee. This may not please either the
Bryanites or the Wilsonites, but it will
make things lively" He declares his
opposition to Bryan's principles" says
the News Press, when he insists that
the state discharge the duties of local
self government, resisting the usurpa-
tions Of the general government, in
asmuch as this Is an attack on the fed
eral prohibition amendment; and he
makes a left-handed jab at President
Wilson when he declares that the Dem
branch Of the government shall be re-
sponsible for the discharge Of its du-
ties, although he qualities the phrase
with another in which he says that
notice should be served on congrtss
that it can not skulk behind an alleged
interference on the part of the execu-
tive branch "
Mr.. Marshall makes it plain" says
the Atlanta Constitution (Dem.), that
he has no use for these misnamed pro-
gressive' nostrums that the democ-
racy of the fathers is good enough for
him-without modern day addenda,
without frills, without adulteration,
and the Constitution thinks his advice
along that line is we'll worth needing"
The Mobile Register (Dem.) also APP
plauds his stand. 1t deplores the
STRONG drift to the acceptance of the
believes that the perpetuity of this
government depends upon recognition
that we are a confederation of states.
Upon that relationship rests the
solidarity of this great and widely eX-
tended republic"

MIRACULOUS.

Three men went to the river to, fish.
They had been there about two hours,
and none of them had had bite. Then
up came a small boy with a stick, a
piece Of string, a bent pin and a worm
on the end Of it. He threw his line in
the water and waited about two min
utes, then he had bite, and he pulled
out a large fish, much to the dsmay
of the three men, AS the boy was

Conference of Representa-

Doesn't Discuss Peace.
tsv MORNING JouANAL SPECIAL LEASED wlssI


Helsingfors, Jan. 81 (by the AS
ISOLATED Press) The net result of
the conference of representatives
of Esthonia, Letvia, Lithuania and
Poland, which has been in pro-
gress here for a week and which
closed tonight, is the appointment
of a commission to work out a
plan for defensive alliance against
soviet Russia.
The question of peace with the
bolsheviki is said not even to have
been discussed. Whether it will be
considered later will depend upon
the lead of the allies, to whom the
participants of the conference, with
the possible exception Of Lithu-
ania, look for guidance.
Apparently the differences be-
tween Lithuania and Poland are
so irreconcilable that the former
will not consent to be a party to
any alliance including Poland. 1t
is learned that Lithuania at the
outset of the conference proposed
an alliance of Esthonia, Letvia and
I4ithuania against Poland. The Es-
thonians replied that they were not
to consider such a pro-
posal, while the Let's rejected it

a
Of the national Catholic party. Thi.
party was organized in 1911 on q
platform borrowed from the clcr.
zeal organizations of Belgium ant
France. Its theories were all Euro.
pean, and in fact. its code was the
famous encyclical letter of Pope
Leo Mi. which founded the move
ment called "Christiau socialism
by non-members, and "Christiau
social action by it's followers. In
its avowed principles, the Catholic
party could have been classified a.
a moderate radical party; but its
church affiliations connected it
with the old conservative catholic
party, of royalist character, which
years before had supported Maxi
MILAN. In 1911, in fact. the Cath
Ollie hierarchy was accused, of hav-
ing an official interest in the party;
and when the bishops fell under
suspicion of pro-Huerta sympa-
thies, the cOnstitutionaHsts under
Carranza, carried on q bitter perse-
cution of the party down to 1914,
which found the Catholic party
practically annihilated and the
bishops in exile. Now amnesty has
been extended TO everyone in the
catholic group, except a few indt-
viduals under Indictment for COM
plicity in Madero's murder.
After five years Of inactivity, the
Catholir leaders seem to believe
the time ripe for entering politics
again. The reappance of the
Catholics in force would upset all
past calculations, as their numeri-
cal superiority over any other sin
gle group is recognized. The press
is feverishly discussing the an
nouncement of the party's return,
and has published interviews with
the leading Catholic personalities,
principal among them, the leaders

form. Whether they Will proceed to
