GREGORY MASON TO
DISCUSS WORLD PROBLEMS

It took Gregory Mason, the noted
editorialist and special writer for
The Outlook Magazine, just ~
months to visit "a countries of Eu-
rope, Asia, Africa and South Amer
lea. This flying trim was made imme-
diately after the war Mr.. Mason had
already been in the battlefield of
France as a war correspondent thru
out the greater part of the war.
Mr.. Mason, who Is to lecture in
Meridian, Friday evening, Nov. 18th,
as the second number of the Meridian
lyceum, has had experiences enjoyed
by few men. He ranks among the
great newspaper and magazine writ
ers of the day, and he has had extern
sive experience in lecture work.
Mason was one of the first CORE
spondents to go to France. Following
the armistice he was the first CORE
spondent to cross the Rhine and he
has the distinction of having con-
veyed the first news of the German
revolution to the outside world by
aeroplane from Berlin to Munich.
When the Gear was overthrown

Bolshevik leader, Trotsky, person
ally. Mr.. Mason has also spent con

TO GO $3.50 ON GIVING FOR
THE NEAR EAST RELIEF

Rev. Frederick vining Fisher,
OF Boise. state committeeman for the
Near East Relief. says that to match
the equivalent OF every case Of milk
given to the Near East relief by a
dairyman in the raw product Of his
herd, one case of milk is to be Dur-
chased from an Idaho condensery
with cash contributed by the resi-
dents of neighboring cities and towns
and for every sack OF wheat given by
grower one sack Of wheat Is to be
bought from the growers by the town
people in the wheat counties.
We need IL carloads of wheat and
a huge supply OF milk, and 1t 10
thought that in this way practically
all giving in this state to ease this
misery overseas will react to the ben
eft of the givers at home"

GRAND OPERA-With Cut r.Fh
 New York. Dec. 22.-(By the A. P.) Its light undimmed by the passing of its greatest lunninary of recent years-Enrico Caruso-the Metropo1- itan Opera has reached the height of what it's social and professional spon- season since the worlds eyes were focused on New York as the hub of the opera1c universe.
 Not, officials of the opera said to- left in the ranks of the artists who have made it so famous. Caruso' s place, they declared, cannot be filled in g. few months. or even in a few years. But his death has served to defect the interest of opera-goers from the brillfancy of the individual singer and to widen it to embrace the opera itself and the great, though less well known stars, who nightly are drawing multitpdes to the historic Broadway auditorium.
 Great changes have taken place in the opera as a social institution, they declare. The social side of the gath erings there season by season, has again taken on the aspect it wore a generation ago. Once more it is the brilliant show place t was in the sos and sos. Nightly, regardless of the name Of the tenor or the soprano who Is to sing, boxes, stalls and chairs, from orchestra pit to peanut gall lery" are at a premium, and every LOCI pI SLahu1IlS room III ltlS SIl1tI horseshoe about the walls is solid with the yInass of music lovers who would rather stand three and a half hours than miss the performance.
 In a widespread reaction from the fashions of years before and during the war, the gentleman opera goers appears in evening dress, whether he sits in 8 box or any other part of the house below the gallery. And many who stand through the succession of acts parade the lobbies and dof the shiniest of silk hats to acquaintances or when they go to exchange visits among the boxes filled with richly gowned and jewelled women.

 The rule of the people Is gone,' senator Kenyon said; if the Senate dreds of thousands of dollars to se- cure seat here.''
 While the feledal act limiting cam patgn expenditures has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court since the Newberry campaign, she senator declared, it was in effect at that time, and so, he added, i've find the common low, the federal statute and the state statutes all violated. the later openly. notoriously so.''
 The record shows an expenditure of tat least s263,000," Senator Ken yon said, adding that ''the plain in ference from Inc testimony is that a much larger sum was expended"
 '"The social lobby" Senator Ken yon continued, fhas been active il. this case-and the social lobby is ef- fective. No argument here is going to change any votes. The matter is pushed al a time when the country can know but little about it If MT. were d ue WOul be promptly voted out under this rec ord. Some of the Democrats would be found stoutly defending him. It is unfortunate than on any question of public morality there should be 8 dividing line of politics in the cham Der.
 'T deny that the Newberry case is any test Of repub1icanisIn. deny that the day will ever come when Lorinerism and Stephensonism and Newberryism will be a test of repub- ncanism. The day has not yet ar rived when a few gentlemen in the Senate of the United States can de- termine what republication is. Ii so, God save the Republican party.

Newberry Election
 UproOts Foundation
 Of Our Government

The speaker said that Henry Ford. wa was MT. Newberry's Democratic opponent in the election, is brought m as d smoke screen in the matter"
 Ford will not secure this seat" he continued. If Ford ever said the things that have been charged he said about the American soldiers he should not have a seat in this body. I want to know the truth about this before I form an opinion, as I doubt if he ever said the things that have been charged. The President of the United States did not evidently share in the belief of many Republicans that MT. Ford was such a dangerous person, because he spent a very pleas ant few days in camping with him a few months ago.
 .'I realize that the stage is com pletelg set for this performance; that there will be very few votes on this side of the chamber against New berry retaining his seat. The Senate today does not stand any too well with the people of the United States. When the brand of the approval was put upon the Stephenson campaign in Wisconsin. the Senates uffered in the opinion of the country. When the brand of approval of the New berry campaign is now placed by the Senate upon his seat it will suffer still more. The price of senatorial keeps going up 1t will surely reach the S500,000 mark in the next ten years.''
 Asserting the pending action of the Senate twill not be the last of the New'b erry case" Senator Kenyon de- c1ared ''the day is coming when it
 will be heard in another court-the court of the great American people, Tt will be a trial that will be worth whtle," the Iowa Senator con- cluded because the American people when they understand the question, will decide right. They will know the record if even many Senators do not, and if the Senate seats Mr. Newberry. as it evidently proposes to do. there is little question of the judgment 1 there''

While browsing about in Chamber lin & Shropshire's the Oniooker picked up a modest volume which should be @, happy answer for many to the query What shall I give for Christmas? ?" What is better than a good book. and st is doubly inter esting to find so good a book by one sof our own townsmen. The volume Is Damien and Reform" by Rev George J. Donahue of St. Augustine's church, and written in the crisp, anil
 mated style which has made Fr. Donahue's sermons so widely appre- ciated. It is an enduring memorial of Father Damien, the heroic priest who sacrificed his life among the 1ep- ers ct Molokat, and the author shows how Damien is superior in person and work Do the type of reformer who parades his love of humanity with a brass band instead of giving aid in p bxcurtty without hope of reward.
