BAPTLSTS CALL ON PARTIES ID OPENLY DECLARE DRY POLICY
1000 Messengers Pledge Baptists to Maintain Pro- hibitiOn as the Law of
 the Land
By Associated rrsss

Washington, May 13.-Taking the position that prohibition lis no longer a political question:" but a question of the authority of the whole people ex- pressed in law" the southern Baptist convention today called upon both the democratic and republican parties to declare openly for the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment and to nom mate no one for the presidency who is not committed to this policy.
 By a standing ballot the 1000 mes sengers enrolled at the convention unanimously adopted the resolutions offered by Dr. A. J. Barton, of Alex andria, Va, which recited that 1t is the will of the representatives of 3,000,O0O white Baptists that prohibit ton as the law of the land shall be strongly maintained.
 Regret at his inability to attend the convention was expressed by Presi : dent Wilson in a letter in which he said that it is of special significance and timeliness that a great Christian convention should be held in Wash ington because the nation now faces nothing less than the question whether it is to help the Christian people in other parts of the world to realize their ideals of justice and orderly peace"
 Questions of education and the ex- pansion of foreign missions were dis cussed at the morning session today. Dr. E. J. Dillard. of Birmingham, Ala spoke of the need for Christian edu- cation among the students of the south and Dr. John E. White of Anderson, S. C., described the illiteracy preva- lent in the south, which, he declared it was the duty of the Baptists to remedy. pr. A P. Robertson, of the Baptist Theological Seminary, Louis' vile, Ky, discussed the problems of theological training for ministers.
 Work accomplished by the foreign mission board for the year was report ed by Dr. J. F. Love. of Richmond, Va, secretary of the board, who told of the gratifying results obtained by Baptists in foreign fields and called upon the convention to redouble it's efforts to increase the forces of the deaomination among the nations of the world

SOUTH AFRICAN DELEGATE
OPPOSED

The protest by the French govern
ment against the naming of Lord Rob-
ert Cecil as one of South Africa's dele
gates to the assembly of the league Of
nations, recalls the opposition arous-
ed in America to the clause giving six
votes to the British empire.
Opponents of the league of nations
plan declared that England would &C.
tually possess all of the six votes
theoretically divided between England
proper and the British dominions.
The fiends of the proposed plan were
uiteWertain that the dominion dele
gates would stand on their own feet.
And now for the first real assembly
of the league, which is to meet this
month, we find Lord Robert Cecil. an
Englishmar who has had little or
nothing to do with South Africa, NAM
ed as a South African delegate.
The French government points out
that when the British delegation to
the peace conference asked for the six
votes in the assembly for England and
her dominions it was on the under
standing that the votes of the domin-
ion governments were to be indepen-
dent of those of England. The French
government now expresses the hope
that the English government will view
the matter in the same light and
make provision that residents of South
Africa represent that colony at Gen.
eva.
The defense Of the British govern
ment appears to be that Lord Robert
Cecil was actually appointed by Gen.
eral SHUTS, premier Of South Africa
but those versed with political meth
DDS can easily see that this is super
fetal rather than real explanation.
Dominion governments are naturally
somewhat helpless If the government
at London wishes to bring pressure to
bear. IL =, @.ls.Ev'. .,.-., 80. :....

COURT cENsUREs PALMER

Attorney General Palmer is charg'
ed ~ Judge Anderson of Indianapolis
with ordering certain evidence against
soft coal operators to be withheld.
1T is strangely near to the COM
pounding of felony" says Judge An
derson, after he had reviewed the at
torney generals order regarding the
case.
1.-THE arm of this court is long and
has been known to reach farther than
Washington. I am not suggesting
what may or may not be done. Mr..
Palmer is the attorney general and
there is certain amount of consider
alton am bound to pay to his official
position if do not pay it to him him.
SELF
The case against the soft coal oper-
ators was to begin on November 8 but
government attorneys declared that
they were not ready to proceed and
Judge Anderson postponed the hearing
Those who know Palmer's record for
prosecuting the profiteers do not be.
lieve that he has any serious intention
of putting the coal operators in hole.
An attorney general who refused to
save the government oil lands from the
Southern Pacific railway would GER
tainly have tender feeling in his
heart for coal operators facing damag-
ing testimony.

is to allow US to abolish the excess
profits taxes and the surtax paid by
incomes of over 100000 year? We

CAROLINA FARMERS BOLT
Charles s. Barrett of Georgia, pres1'
dent of the National Farmers union
has just been deserted by one more
of the powerful remaining units of his
rganization-due largely to his alli-
ance with the National Civic fedora
ton and his tacit approval of the
Esch- Cummins bill. The North Caro-
lima Farmers union has voted to quit
the national body and join the Farm
ers' National council here, which
stands for public ownership and demo-
cratic operation of transportation and
of marketing facilities.
In the second emergency Shortened
it conference here recently Benjamin
C. Marsh of the Farmers National
council sprung a surprise on Barrett
by bringing in several of the biggest
officials of organized labor in America
to pledge their friendly aid in getting
credit for the farmers. Marsh took the
position that the farmers should show
the president and the nation that the
organized consumers were in harmony
with them in demanding at least l1v-
ing wage for their seasons work.
But Grey Silver, the legislative
agent for the Farm Bureau federation,
and Barrett did not want organized Ia
Dor to help them. Their program was
one of hostility to labor. This they
demonstrated in committee, soon after
ward, when they rejected Marsh's pro-
posal that the labor officials should be
invited tc go with them to the White
House. Many delegates in the confer
ence supported Marsh, but Silver and
Barrett prevailed. Barrett told Marsh
that if he didn't want to cooperate he
should "get out"
