A new organ in Kentucky

resulted in some of the brothers
and sisters manifesting their dis
pleasure by taking the organ out of
the church and burning it. And

of things that are not true and as

Forgetful of having set a shot
gun trap for auto thieves in his

derive a good, moral lesson from
this; and if you do you are welcome.
Here's one of several reasons

For this fiscal year Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes has at his
command, and is spending, an APP
preparation a trifle short of ten
million dollars. If you are clever
in mathematics you may take a
piece of charcoal and find sufficient
space on the side of a barn to
figure out what it is going to cost
the government to bring about ac-
tual prohibition, if it costs $780,
100000, annually, to keep the boot
leggers under such control that
they will not block traffic on the
highways.

Promotes World Peace
Plans
Maintains Vigorous American Policy,
Avoids Foreign EntangIements and
Achieves Great Practical Re-
suits for World Peace.
Z, s. REPRESENTATIVE HORACE NJ TowSER
uoHA), CHAIRMAN HOUSE COMMITTEE
ON INSTLAR AFFAIRS

The people Of the United States earn
estly desire peace. The last admin
istration, with an insistence thai
would not consider any method of Sc
curing the peaceful settlement OF in
ternatiOnal disputes except the League
of Nations, went out of power largely
because of that fact. The people saw
in that scheme an assurance of furth.
er wars rather than a reasonable plan
for the encouragement and prevention
of wars
The present administration with rare
wisdom undertook to secure concrete
and definite international agreements
which would result in diminishing the
probability Of future wars by limiting
the armament of those nations whose
competitive strife could only result in
future wars. Accordingly, the Presi-
dent called Conference to meet at
Washington to consider the limitation
Of armament and to make such settle
ments and agreements especially with
regard to the Pacific and adjoining
territory as would determine existing
disputes and remove causes of future
discoTd
Judged by practical results the
Washington Conference was the great
est actual achievement in the cause
Of peace ever accomplished. It Sc
cured treaty agreement by the five
great maritime powers for a definite
limitation Of naval armament 1t Sc.
cured definite agreement regarding
the use Of submarines and noxious
gases in warfare. 1t secured by the
tour-pact treaty an agreement fixing
the status, defining the rights, and
limiting the building and charging of
Qualifications and naval bases on the
Pacific. 1t secured a confirmation by
nine of the great nations Immediately
concerned Of the open Door" policy,
and agreements that will prevent the
future exploitation of China 1t Sc
cured the withdrawal of Japan from
Shantung aud Siberia, and an agree
nent with Japan defining and confirm
:ng American rights in the island OF
zap.
Through these agreements, which
s~a being actually carried into effect

the nations parties 10 the Conference
we nave made war more difficult ant
less Justf1able for all nations. anC
have given a new assurance to those
VINO desire and hope for the future
peace Of the world.
The present administration has
given not only actual and practica
expression Of its desire for peace. il
has gone to the extreme limit in the
reduction of its military establish
J ment
we are "scrapping' our Navy down
TO the treaty standard, by which the
united States must limit its tonnage
to $4,000; Great Britain $4,000 ;
Japan $4,000; France 5000: and
Italy, 175,0OO.
We have reduced our annual war ex-
penditures of over $4,000, 100000 to
about $600,00O,OO0 and are making
further reductions every year.
The last administration refused TO
end the war with Germany for over
two years after the Armistice was
signed, except upon acceptance of the
Versailles treaty with the League Gov
enant. The present administration
made peace with Germany without de
lay and without surrender of any right
the United States had acquired by it's
participation in the war.
The United States will not be ar
isolated nation under Republican, ad-
ministrations. But it will be the con
tinued policy of the Republican party
to keep the United States to it's tradi-
tlonal policy so as to prevent entan-
clement in the mazes of confictine
interests, territorial QuarreIs, religious
hatreds, and race jealousies which
have afflicted Europe for more than a
thousand years. The peace-loving PEG
pie of America will do well to main
tain that policy, and to support that
party which not only desires peace
but takes practical measures to OBJ
tain it; which is not afraid to propose
and effect reductions Of our own Army,
Navy and armament in order to induce
other nations to do likewise; and
which will not be swerved from its
policy and purpose by any chimerica
scheme, or by any ambitious or sordid
lust for power.

There are today approximately 200,-
100000 acres of public lands in Uncle
Sans domain open for settlement. All
Of this can be utilized for some pur-
pose Or other, from the making Of
happy, contented homes and communi-
ties, to the grazing Of sheep upon
deserts that can only be utilized dur
ing the winter months, when there is
sufficient snow to furnish the herds
and herders their drinking water In
addition to this, there are nearly 2O0,-
100000 acres more in our Forest Pre-
serves, $3.50 of which is public land
and perhaps 500 of this is more valu-
able for agricultural than for other
purposes.
1t is also estimated that the swamp
lands of the United States show az
area of 80,000,000 acres of wet or over
flow lands, and in addition, 80, 900, 900

claiming the so-called waste places
