SYRACUSE, N. Y.-Rev. DR.. e.
w. Mills, acting secretary for the
general conference of the Methodist
Episcopal church, which opens Sat-
urday at Des Moines, Iowa, stated
that the conference probably would
revise the ban on amusements,
changing it from a mandatory act in
the Book Of Discipline to a word Of
advice.
Memorials submitted to DR.. Mills
from countrywide conferences show
that about one-third of the preachers

GOV. LOWDEN ANSWERS

Governor bowen has answered
Senator Borah S inquiry more eX-
plicitly than it's form made nee

toward the question Of having the
United States JOIN the League Of
Nations than severe considera-
tion of the question would have
called for, and has thus exhibited
courage and candor which must

as . great experiment worthy oil

chance Of its accomplishing its
purpose should seem to be only

lightened attitude to assume to-

skeptical as to the feasibility oil
this project for preventing the
recurrence Of war, but if one can
think that it at least offers a bet
ter promise Of success than any
other method that has been tried
or proposed, that is not merely
sufficient but a compelling reason
why one should favor the under
taking War has come to be such
a calamity, and the cost Of antici-
pating its outbreak so crushing al
burden on society, that any pro
posal which eXcites even the
faintest hope Of its prevention
deserves to be cherished. it is
obvious that it is in some such
spirit that Governor Lowden has
considered the proposal to have
the United States join a League
of Nations.
OF course this spirit does not

THE POLITICAL STAGE.

The arrival of the new year

cd for what is forecasted as one
Of the most vigorous tits Of the
history Of the country in politl-

In Oklahoma the chief bout is
now being engaged in by two

with Wood for the lead Of the

There is no age limit to divorce. 1n Oregon a woman at the age of eighty two years is suing for decree from her husband who is callOw stripling of Seventy-One summers. This seems to be another case of too much mother in-law, as the wife asserts that her husbands love has been alienated and undermined through the work of his mother, who is now ninety-four years old and who never did like her, any how. They have been married some ten years now, and the wife said that when the husband took her money to buy an auto for his mother and wouldn't let his wife ride in 1t, she knew that his love was dead. When she remOnstrated the husband cOldly informed her that she could leave the house. When the wife said that the home was her own and bought with her own money the husband replied that might be so. but he had thought fully had the deed recorded in his own name. Now she has to appeal to the courts. It is rather rough when bride of eighty-two has to compete with a ninety four-y year-Old mOther-in- law for the affections of her husband.
