AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
COMMITTEE ENDORSES LEAGUl

The American Bar Association, at
its meeting some months ago, ap-
pointed a committee of the ablest
lawyers Of the country to investigate
the League of Nations and report as
to whether or not it should be rati-
fed.
This committee has just published
its report, to the effect that the league
should be ratified just as it is. and If
amendments are necessary or de-
sirable they should come in the regu.
lar way, as provided in the document
itself.
This is pretty high authority. for
the American Bar Association, made
up as it is of the leading lawyers and
jurists of the United States, cannot
be accused of playing politics. or OF
lacking the knowledge and ability to
pass upon these matters with as
much patriotism as the United States
senate.

Of the home work, as many as pos

that each car driver sees to it that
his car is fully occupied, that where
but two people from one family can
attend that the extra space. If there
is any in his car, be occupied by those

the gasoline shortage. However, a
good supply of gasoline has been OBJ
tanned in Olympia and in case of
emergency sufficient quantity to

the experiment station.
It is estimated that between 800
and $50 people from Thurston county
will avail themselves of this oppor-

along agricultural lines and what
crops are best adapted to various

New York will not be very large. You
cannot expect large vote in favor
of any wet proposition. The real
question to be decided Is whether we
shall declare in our platform in favor
OF prohibition as embodied in the
18th amendment and for an enforce
ment law interpreting that amend
ment. or whether we shall be silent
on the subject. The republican con.
vention was silent, but. thank God, a
democratic convention has courage as
veil as principles. (Applause.)
The democratic party led this
fight; it was the democratic south
that raised the standard of this. the
greatest moral reform of the genera
ton. an dthe nation has followed the
standard to overwhelming victory.
Shall we accept the result sullenly-
just acquiesce with tears in the voice
Or shall we rejoice that the banner
of our party has been lifted so high
that it draws to it those who believe
that conscience should control poll
tics? Enemies of the home should
not be permitted to raise their blood
stained flag abve the Stars ana
Stripes. (Applause.)
If We simply declare in favor OF
the amendment, and the enforcement
of it. we leave the way open for the
change which the gentleman from
New York proposes, namely, a change
in the law increasing the alcoholic
content, or in other respect modify
ing the law in the direction of lem
iency toward those who violate it. We
should, in my judgment. leave no
chance for misunderstanding. and no
opening for quibbling. Therefore, I
include in my plank a declaration
against any increase in the alcoholic
content of permitted beverages anti
against any weakening of any other
provision of that law.
We believe that when we have won
a victory that terminates curse that
has come down to man from the
ages we should not encOur-
age further discussion of the subject
or invite lawlessness in any part of
the country. (Applause)
1t is alcohol that we hate. and we
hate it whether we find it in whisky,
wine or in beer. If anyone tells you
that wine ir harmless drink I re-
mind you that as far back as the time
of Noah wine made men drunk. The
Bible says that when Noah came out
Of the ark he planted vineyard and
drank of the wine thereof and was

the democrats and republicans OF

In other words, the republicans
