RUNKENNESS CHIEF
CAUSE Of DESERT|ON

Washington, Dec. drunkenness
continued TO be the principal cause
for enlisted men of the navy for de-
sertion or overstaying leave during
the past fiscal year, according to the
annual report of Rear Admiral George
r. Clark, judge advocate general, to
Secretary Daniels today. OF 1925
such excuses during the year, pleas
of drunkenness were entered in 3S4
cases, says the report. The excuse
Of having a good time" was given in
1862 cases. Home sickness caused 80
sailors to take French leave" and
in eight cases the plea was entered
that the work on board ship was too
hard.
More than Al 900 cases were tried
by court martial during the year.
The tempering of justice with mercy
was urged by Admiral Clark.

instrumentalities by which difficulties
are to be met and removed and justice
dealt out, whether by law or by some
form of meditation and conciliation. l
do not feel it to be my privilege at
present 10 suggest the detailed and
particular methods by which these
objects may be attained, but / have
faith that the inquiries Of several
committees will discover the way and
the method.
In response to what / believe to be
the impulse Of sympathy and opinion
throughout the United States, I earn
estly suggest that the congress au-
thorize the treasury of the United
States to make to the struggling gov
ernment of Armenia such a loan as
was made to several of the other al
lied governments during the war; and
would also suggest that it would
be desirable to provide in the legisla-
ton itself that the expenditure Of the
money thus loaned be under the sup
ervision of a commission or at least
commissioner from the United States
in order that the revolutionary ten
denotes within Armenia itself might
not be afforded by the loan further
tempting opportunity.
Allow me to call your attention to
the fact that the people of the Phil
ippine Islands have succeeded in main
tanning a stable government since the
last action of the congress in their
behalf and have thus fulfilled the con-
dtion set by the congress as prece-
dent to a consideration of granting
independence to the islands. | re-
spectfully submit this condition pre-
cedent having been fulfilled, it is now
our liberty and our duty to keep
our promise to the people of those
islands by granting them the inde-
pendence which they SO honorably
covet.
/ have not so much laid before you
II series Of recommendations, gentle
men. as sought to utter a confession
of faith, of the faith in which 1 was
bred and which it is my solemn pur-
pose to stand by till my last fight
ing day. believe this to be the
faith of America, the faith of the
future, and of the victories which
await national execution in the days
TO come whether in America or else
where.

ROUSING REPUBLICAN
SPEECH BY GOV.HARDING
Chief Executive of Iowa breaches
Fundamental Americanism to
Interested Audience

Governor VIM. L. Harding of Iowa,
addressed a most interested audience
at the Orpheum theatre on Wednes-
day evening on the issues of
the present campaign. Governor
Harding came here on such
short notice that it was impossible
to properly advertise the meeting,
and the heavy rain on Tuesday and
Wednesday evening prevented any
farmers from coming in, and yet the
hall was we'll filled, and those who
attended were greatly pleased with
the able manner in which the issues
of the campaign were presented.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. F. A. Hancock, chairman of the
Woman's Republican Committee of
Stevens county. Mrs. Bredesen and
Miss Klippstein, other officers of the
women's committee occupied seats on
the platform. ...-
Governor Harding spoke of the
fundamentals of the American gov
ernment as the home, the school, the
church and the rights of the indivi-
dual. He dwelt on the latter as op-
posed, to the socialism which is now
being agitated by some, and justified
these fundamentals by the fact that
the government of the United States
is the oldest government in the
world today, save one, and called up
on those who would change the gov
ernment to prove that there was any
other form ever proven better.
In discussing the issues of the
present campaign, he said that the
two big questions pertained to our
external relations and our domestic
problems. The issue of our external
relations centers around the League
of Nations, and he analysed this is
sue in the simplest terms. He made
it clear that for a thousand years,
Europe has been fighting over boun-
daries and that the people of the
United States will never consent to
send their boys across the water to
preserves the integrity of any boun-
Diary which may become the cause of
a war. He showed that if we had
UGGu uI6HDSIS VI Tic LSdS uS, we
would have been obliged to send our
army to Poland in the council of the
League had so ordered.
In discussing domestic problems,
he pointed out examples of gross
Democrat extravaganza, and promised
to replace it with Republican eff1cien-
cy. He spoke of the bearing which
the old-fashioned Republican doctrine
of protective tariff would have in
solving present day difficulties, and of
the farm produce as suffering in
price today on account of the present
Democratic tariff.
He paid especial tribue to Con-
gresham Volstead who with rare
courage has stood for the interests
of his district in congress and said
that we could not expect to retain
high-class men in Office unless the
people backed them up when assail-
ed.

Game Warden Paul Goodell of Her

and asked us to correct statement in
the Minneapolis Daily Star to the
effect that the prairie chicken sea-
son would open on Friday. Anyone
who follows the statement in the
Star will run afoul of the law. The
taking of prairie chickens was pro-
hibited for three years, and this pro-
hibition runs for both this season
and another
