BEVERIDGE RAPS
RULE OF WILSON
Demands League Be Made Party
Issue and That Mexico Be
Cleaned Up.

(SpecJGL De5p6tcb 70 CbG HGTdtG.}
DETROIT, Mich, Thursday.-Albert J.
Beveridge, formerly Senator from Indiana,
opened the Republican campaign hero to-
night, scoring the administration of Presi-
dent Wilson and characterizing the COW
enant Of the League of Nations as mot
a treaty, but constitution" He do
manded that the league issue be made
party issue and that Mexico be cleaned
up
Mr.. Beveridge declared that the ''efns"
of the Wilson administration makes
Republican victory sure in the next presd-
dental election.
Mr.. Beveridge spoke under the auspices
Of the Detroit Republican Club.
1.-THE league covenant was not necessary
to the making of peace with Germany" he
said "a peace treaty could have been
framed in three months and ratified IN .
week without this attempt to force Amer
lea into an international supergovernment.
Peace could and would have been made
months ago had not international plotters
be rred the prompt making Of peace by
framing this international super-State and
attempting to shackle the American people
with 1t.
"The submission Of America to this in
ternational plot is not necessary to the
making of peace now. Peace exists In
fact, and it is only by fiction that America
is construed TO he technically at war.
Congress can declare that a state OF war
no longer exists, or Congress can ratify
the peace treaty without the constitution
of an international government. That in
ternational constitution could then go to
the people for their approval or disap-
prevail at the polls, and the only manner
in which srch an issue-a fundamental
issue-should be determined is by the
people at the polls"
Mr.. Beveridge declared that Il II ths
people who will be affected by It

will be conscripted to fight and die in the
Balkans, on the frontiers of India, on the
plains of China. in the wastes Of Siberia

Colonel Thompson declared that there
had been an orgy of extravaganza, un-
paralleled in the country's history, at
Washington. He asserted that war condi-
tons had been used to justify colossal
expenditures. but said that peace had not
checked the riot OF extravagance. Citing
one instance. he stated that the expendi-
lures of the Bureau on Indian Affairs had
increased from 49, 10000 In 1913 to SIS, 49, ooO

TOOK FOXES IN NEAT TRAP
Probably Only Instance Jon Record
Where Youngsters Were Caught
in Horse Blanket.

How four foxes were caught in
horse blanket is quaint tale told by
r. A. Hutmacher in the Hunter-Trader-
Trapper of Columbus, o. !.
II happened to be driving south Of
Rapatee, ILL.,, with the implement deal
er of that town, making business calls
ON several farmers of that section,
when, to my surprise, saw on very
steep hill in the distance several young
foxes playing about as if no human
was near" says Mr.. Hutmacher. "My
partner and decided to try our luck
at catching them, SO driving on little
farther, we tied our horses and set
out across the field after them.
4 "When we reached the hole, they
were all up over the hill chasing each
other, so telling my companion to go
around the hill and chase them my
way / threw horse blanket over their
hole and waited. AS they came rush.
ing for the hole I raised one end of
the blanket just enough to hide myself
and at the same time form trap of 1t
for them to run into.
"They all got to the hole about the
same time, when threw one end OF
the blanket over them, the other end
being over the hole. In the excite
ment succeeded in catching all -four
| in the folds of the blanket.
."We went back to the buggy ane
drove to town, my companion taking
| two of the foxes and two. Possibly
the explanation of our good luck is the
| fact that the foxes were not mucl
more than six weeks old when cap
tured."

POINTS TO DANGERS
in FL PLATFORM
Farmer Creel Says Platform Was
not Framed for Benefit of ;.
Taxpaying Farmers

That the farmers of the state do not
realize the full significance of some
of the planks in the farmer-labor plat
form, is the statement of H. B. Creel,
Kitsap county farmer, who is stump
ing the state in behalf of the repub-
lican ticket. " TT a.
Mr.. Creel says that the farmer
labor platform as adopted in Seattle,
September Ia, was not framed for the
benefit of the taxpayer and the farm
er and he sees in it the handwriting
of the radical labor element. He
points out that the men who framed
the platform are the same men who
selected Elmer Smith, Centralia l. w.
w. and defendant in the ar1nistice
day murder case, as candidate for
attorney general. .r. ~.
In illustrating his point that the
platform was not framed by, or for
the benefit of the farmer, Mr.. Creel
calls attention to section 8. The or
iginal platform as adopted in Yakima
last July placed the several bodies
which participated in that convention
on record as favoring government
ownership and control of all natural
resources. This plank as it was re-
written by the Seattle convention in
September and as it stands in the
platform today reads:
Equal Access to Natural Resources.
"The land, including every natural
resource, is the heritage of all the
people. Access thereto should be open

AMENDMENT TO
AID IRRIGATION
Voters are Asked to Extend
Right of Eminent Domain to
Lands for Irrigation.

Because of all the talk pro and con
on the Carlyon road. bill and the bat
tie of the candidates, the little consti-
tutional amendment to be voted on
November 2 has been all but over
looked. This amendment is offered
for the purpose of facilitating the
work of retaining the waste lands
of the state. r
In q recent interview r. K. Tiff
fanny, former project manager of the
u. S. reclamation service at Yakima,
said: ~
Reclamation of waste lands on a
large scale will require state and fed
eral aid and direction" said Mr.. Tiff
fanny. eff state and federal support
is to be given reclamation projects it

SAW C0ssACK AT HIS BEST,
Writer Wakes Enthusiastic Over Camp
Of Tired Men, "Soldiers TO the
Manner Born"

II you have read "Tarus Bulba." Go
COILS story of the Cossack. then you
will know what ! mean when ! say
that last night had chance to see
q real picture of the Cossack. writes
William v. Duncan in the Yale Re-
view. It was at sunset when over the
tops Of the white birches the heavens
looked as If on fire, while to the right
the clouds were like waves rolling over
a sea of pink. ! heard shout, ''The
COssacks are coming" and through the
opening in the woods rode these lovers
of war. The horse and the rider are
one; both were tired, but there Yves
something that told you that If the
bugle had blown all the tiredness
would have fallen away. They are
soldiers to the manner born. War Is life
to them. If thing is. worth having
1t is worth fighting for. Even when
they gathered in groups around the
common pals and borrowed one an
others spoons to eat the common meal
their bearing was that Of soldiers.
Pigs can feed from trough and you
60 away Disguised. but when you see
these fellows back from fight, delv-
ing into their fness, you stand to adj
mire. Their leader was fully six feet
seven inches tall, with beard that
said he was Russian Of the Russians.
All were well-formed, strong men,
hardened to the out Of doors. Their es-
chelon was not there, so they made
themselves at home for the night on
the ground 1t was sight to remem-
Der as our train pulled out Of from the
station, those Cossack groups around
the fire. singing the songs OF war In
which their spirits revel.

to all on equal terms, and the pro-
ducts of labor gathered from these
natural bounties should be exempt
from taxation. As means to this
end, we demand the public ownership
and operation of all public utilities,
mines and water powers. The adop-
ton of constitutional amendments
that will provide for such changes and
the public ownership of any industry
or activity by statutory enactment.
Where land or any gift of nature is
privately owned, the possessor shall
pay all unearned increment attaching
thereto into the public treasury" =.
Mr.. Creel says he has talked with
many farmers who freely admit that
they do not know exactly what is
meant by "unearned increment" The
standard dictionary's definition OF
"unearned increment" he says is:
"The increase in the value of land
arising from the increase of popula-
ton and other general causes, as dis
tinguished from the increased value
arising from the labor or outlay OF
the individual owner" ~.
= AS to how this plank of the plat
form would work outsMr. Creel cites
the following example: .
Mr.. Farmer owns a ranch worth
$4,000; being close to town and mar
ket with good roads and schools. If
there were no other settlers, no roads
or schools, no railroads, no towns,
cities or markets, the outside value of
his ranch would be $500. The differ
ence, $4,000, is the "unearned incre-
ment" which he would be required to
pay in cash into the public treasury.
Every vote for the farmer-labor par
ty is vote for this robbery. Has any
nonpartisan organizer, speaker or pa
per explained this? Why not?
Mr.. Creel spoke Wednesday night in
Benton City and Thursday night in
Richland. His schedule called for a
meeting here Tuesday night but owing
to the fact that the local committee re-
ceived no advance notice Of his COM
ing no arrangements were made and
the date was cancelled.
