Washington, April 12-Congress
should adopt a resolution declaring
peace with Germany without further
delay. President Harding recommend
ed in his first message to congress to-
day. Such action. he said, could in no
sense be construed as a desertion of
the allies.
He made plain his belief that the
League of Nations is dead. Measures
to lower taxes and lower retail prices
were the outstanding features of his
recommendation for dealing with do
nestle problems.
The peace resolution, Harding eX-
planned, should undertake to do no
more than declare a state of peace
and must put no difficulty in the way
of collection of reparations or the
restoration of war torn Europe.
Turning his back completely on the
League of Nations, the executive re-
affirmed his allegiance to the ideal of
a world association of nations.
But this problem must be deliber-
promised to invite the advices of the
senate when he feels it time to act.
Cannot Join League.
'In the existing League of Nations,
world governing with its super-pow-
ers. this republic will have no part"
he said. There can be no misinter-
probation and there will be no betrayal
of the deliberate expression of the
American people in the recent cleo
ton.
'In rejecting the league covenant" {"
he said later in his address, I'VE make
no surrender of our hope and aim for
an association to promote pea4e in
which we would heartily 1oin.''
Turning to the question of immedi-
ate peace, the president said that the
United States alone of the allies and
associated powers continues in a tech
nical state of war.

 of Aash's Salve.


 Nash's Salvs Is not q "cure-ali.n The makers recommend 1t only as a relief for catarrh, asthma and bronchitis, although they have letters voluntarily written by enthusiastic users who claim to have been cured of these maladles
 One thing is certain, the Nash Treat ment is a great relief for those who suf- fer the inconvenience of catarrh, the wheezing of asthma and snothering tor lures of recurrent bronchitis.
 Upon first indication of trouble use Nash's SaIye in same manner as for head colds. If attacks persist rub liberally on chest. It is really amazing the benefits derived from the use of this now famous remedy.
 Physicians like their patients to pse Nash's Sa1ye because it is applied ex- formally and does not interfere with pfe- scriptions intended to cure the cause in- stead of relieving the effect of asthma, catarrh and bronchitis.
 Nash's Pneumonia Salve Is never sold in bulk; 1t comes in 30 and 60-cent bottles gold by leading druggists.

 Howard was hurried out of Benton [ following his arrest an a charge of first degree murder for the killing of the outlaw.
 The most intense feeling runs high against Howard, only white man who escaped with Slaughter from the peni- tentiary. The inquest on Slaughters body convinced authorities that How ard had undoubtedly shot him through the back of the head while he slept. Talk of lynching was prevalent.
 A petition signed by practically ev- cry resident Of Benton was sent to the governor protesting against the paying of the reward to Howard and cansur- ing Warden Dempsey for his supposed inactivity.
 Parties from every part of the state are at Benton viewing the remains Of Slaughter.
