each member nation is free to accept

session of congress. Postmaster General
Burleson said Friday, will not recon-
mend any increase in. the 2-cent first
class letter rate, in connection with any
plan of taxation revision, and will re
new the departments previous recon-
mendations for a 1-cent local delivery

The postmaster general estimates that
a reduction of the local delivery rate

statement of facts" in tie recent address
made by Elihu Root dealing with the
League of Nations covenant.
II feel that the only point in Mr..
Roots mind was to serve his party, Mr..
Colby's statement said. Mr.. Root is
wrong. What he says is wrong. What
he seeks to do is wrong. | half suspect
Mr. Root knows this"
Mr.. Colby addressed his statment par
ticularly to the question of article ~ OF
the covenant as presented by Mr.. Root.
"Mr. Roots statement that article 10
is an attempt to carry over and continue
for all time, as part of the organization
to preserve peace, the exercise of power
by the conquering nations in closing the
war; is plain misstatement of fact.
MIR. Colby said. Indeed, it is complete
inversion of the truth
His further objection to the substitu-
ton in any event of physical or armed
force for the moral force, which is re-
lied upon in the other provisions Of the
covenant indicates a complete lnsensi-
bility to the instruction of events and the
lessons of the worlds recent and har-
rowing experience.
'rrhe idea of an international court Of
justice, to which Mr.. Root has just con-
tributed his enthusiastic labors, has ad-
mittedIy been a lifeless thing, hopelessly
beyond realization, conceded by its spon-
sors to be impotent and impracticable
until the success of the League of Ma
tions effected political organization of
the world powers, and for the first time
gave the courta background and prom.
ise that its decrees W. be effective. IT
there is one thing which the war has
taught the nations of the world it is that
the projects discussed at two The Hague
conferences for restraining war, and the
peaceful regulation of international con-
duet, were utterly valueless and illusory.
''It is article 10. which for the first
time, has given vitality and significance,
to the project of a League of Nations"

warning of his Augusta. Me-. address,
declaring that his party would not
take Gov. CoX'S attacks lying down"
Il will try to confine the Senate
committees attention to the funda-
mentals of Gov. CoX's charges" Mr.
Hays said. Regardless of the
amounts he has quoted, however
ridiculous their size, Gov. Cox may
not attack the integrity of those who
have contributed toward the fund of
less than a million which We have
raised. These sources are not sin
lister or corrupt They represent

America is demanding action-not
words; something definite and con-
crete in the way of a constructive
program, declared Franklin D. Roose-
welt. democratic vice presidential
nominee in an address last night at
the Mormon Tabernacle. America
wants a real rule of the people, not
a rule for the few and by the few, he
said.

dustrial centers of Wisconsin. the
great farming sections of the Dako-
tas. the mining regions of Montana,

ington and Oregon and through the
length and breadth of California" said
Mr.. Roosevelt. Everywhere is the
determination apparent; the individual
worker is thinking. being capable of
making up his own mind. / have
shaken hands with thousands since
left Chicago on my western speaking
tour two weeks ago, and the story is
the same wherever I happen to be-"
Referring to the league of nations,
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that if the
democrats were elected to Office in
November. "the league will be ratified
within sixty days after they take of
fee" He said he was convinced the
American people will declare them
selves for the league at the coming
elections so as to make impossible a
repetition Of the horrors of 1914, and
that republicans and democrats alike
will help speed up the ratification.
