fssues
SPEAKS At MAss-MEETING

Chicago, June Sk-Addressing an au-
diencc that filled the Auditorium The
atre and over6owed into Michigan ave-
nue. boulevard, Senator johnson last
night declared that the Republican
party must not "hide or skulk" on the
league issue, and that it must 90 to
the country with clean hands.
The meeting opened with boisterous
greeting for Senator johnson and Sen
ator Borah as they walked on the stage
together. The outburst lasted twenty
Eve minutes. Johnson's attack upon the
league and upon reservations were re-
ceived with prolonged cheering. In
part. the senator said:
."Thc Republican party stands to-
day upon the brink of new history.
Before it again are the problems OF
reconstruction confronting 1t again the
preservation of the republics tradi-
tions and ideals. The great question
now for the Republican party to decide
is whether it shall, as in the early days
of it's history. boldly and courageously
inspired by the old heaven born hopes
and aspirations. with head high, eyes
clear. and hands clean, meet the test
or whether It shall hesitateN and .faltei
and timidly hide within the shadows o.
privilege.
"Victory is within our grasp. Afte,

and actions wholly at variance. tn

regeneration Of their government. Unde

AssaiIs League Covenant
Senator johnson resffirmed his or
| position to the peace treaty as it wa
negotiated at Versailles and his inten
tion to fight to the end for its rcjec
| ton. He said:
"Instead of a pact to prevent war W
were given a league to maintain preser
existing power. Instead Of that whic
would enable hun nanity to expand, I
grow. to progress and to. prosper. W
found humanity shackled, the world pu
in straitjacket and the evils Of stati
condition imposed for all the years
come.
1--WE would never be selfish or ungen
erous with the rest of the world. In tn
future, as in the past. we would eve
respond to humanity's call and civiliza
tion's cry. All that we insist upon !
that when the crisis occurs, when th
time arrives, the American people sha
determine whether they act and ho'
they act, and no European nation sha
determine it for them. We want our in
dependence Of action unfettered, OF
freedom untouched. our sovereignty un
impeacbed. We want to lead eur liv'
in our own way. We want to folio
the athNwhich we have followed for 1S
years in the past. We want, in short,

Informs Executive That Taylor
SchooIboys Cleaned outs4o
Cutters During Storm

Mayor Moore today received the as
surance from youthful admirer that
pupils Of room % of the Bayard Taylor
School, Randolph street and Erie ave-
nue., are with him in his fight for clear
streets.
Thirty six pupils cleared forty mine
cutters Of snow, according to the letter
written by George Schwinn, and re-
ceived by the Mayor this morning.
"We, the pupils of room % of the
Bayard Taylor School, report that in
response to your request in the recent
storm that each person help a little, in
a class of thirty six pupils, we have
cleaned out forty nine gutters,' the
boys letter stated.
The Mayor, much gratified, ,imme
diately wrote this reply:
Dear George wish you would say
to the pupils of room % of the Bayard
Taylor School that their report to me
through you of your service in clear
ing forty nine cutters during the re-
cent snowstorm is much appreciated.
Just as you say, if each person
would help a little when unusual
emergencies arise, we could tide them
over quicker. There are many full
grown people who might profit by the
example set by pupils of room %.

Winona shook her head. "Oh, no,

make up to you for all the rest of us

minute: do you love him so much?"
There was silence before Laurel
lifted her head and looked into Winona's

GAS much as you expected to love the
man you would marry?"
"Yes."
There was another silence.
You still think that Ted and I are

In Winona's question there was q
note that Laurel did not understand, and
that wonderful low white brow of hers
wrnkled.
"Not for you perhaps" she said after
a minute, "But ] can't feel the same
as you do, Winona; I'm just different
that's all"
IT was their last girlish talk together
and Laurel remembered it long after
ward when she realized how canny
