MINORITY AGAINST
SMALL NAVY PLAN
DECLARES THAT HOUSE BILL
FRUSTRATES BASIC AMERIC-
AN POLICY
JAPANESE NAVY IS SUPERIOR
Underlying Principle On Which Size
OF Navy Must Be Determined
Is Its Relative Strength To
England And Japan.

| WashingtOn.-The proposal of the
House Appropriations Committee fol
a navy in 1928 of $1,000 men ant
6,S56 officers was vigorously attacked
today in a minority report signed by
| five Republicans and one Democrat
and in statements issued by Repre-
| sentativeS Britten of Illinois and Nc
Arthur Of Oregon, Republican mem
| bers of the House Naval Committee.
A reduction of the naval forces OF
| the United States to the extent recon-
mended by the committee would ig-
more the basic naval policy set down
by the arms conference, the minority
report declared, asserting that an en-
listed personnel of $4,000. with 5000
apprentices would be necessary to
keep the United States abreast OF
Great Britain and ahead of Japan.
Representative Britten said that If
the bill had been framed by British
and Japanese delegates" with the in
tention of wrecking the American
navy, they could not have more delib-
third rate power" while Represent
alive Macarthur said a canvass he had
made gave him hopes of the adoption
of an amendment providing $4,000
men.
For the first time in it's history"
said the minority report filed by six
members of the Appropriations Com
mittee, this country has adopted a
naval policy. 1t means equality with
the strongest. If that policy now is
disregarded by adoption of the navy
bill, we will sink to the rank of
third rate naval power, with little
voice in any future world councils.
No one doubts that the potential SUI
periority of the American navy was
the controlling factor in the negotia-
lions of the recent conference. Had
our delegates negotiated treaty that
placed this country below Great Brl-
tan and Japan in navy strength, they
would have been denounced as trail
tors-not a single vote of the senate
would have been recorded in it's ia
vor-yet this bill proposed to place
this country in that very position"
The report was signed by Repre-
sentatives Tinkham of Massachusetts,
Ware of Pennsylvania, Wason of New
Hampshire, Magee and Hustled of
New York, Republicans, and Gallivan
of Massachusetts, Democrat.
"The underlying principle on which
in future the strength Of our navy
must be determined is it's strength
in relation to Great Britain and ia
pam" the report said. "This is the
policy of the 5-5-3 ratio, that is, equal
ity with Great Britain and So of the
strength of Japan"

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those VIE have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend. for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's SwampRoot is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; correets uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,

that Ku Klux Khan parades are in vic,

Parker has announced that he would
attempt Immediately to suppress

The opinion of the attorney general
made public was the result of re-
cent inquiry of the governor if an
old statute enacted to prevent unlaw-
full gatherings in the adys immediate
~ following the Civil War had been
repealed and whether in the attorney
generals opinion it would apply to
masked assemblies and parades.
The opinion held that ANY organi-
cation, the purpose of which is claim
ed to be to regulate and correct the
administration Of public affairs and
to suppress supposed or real violations
of law, accompanied with usual dem
onstrations calculated to alarm the
public, such as for instance, parades
particularly where the participants
are masked) would in my opinion
constitute a violation OF act number
seven of the extra session of the
General Assembly of 1872
After quoting the above act, the at

Whether an assembly or parade
would come within the prohibition
Of the statute presents question of

the circumstances of each case. Ger
tainly if the attending circumstances
are such as would alarm or in any

A Well PatrOlled Road.

Those who criticize the patrol sys-
tenn of highway maintenance should
drive over the Miff1in Mineral Point
road for an example of what can be
done by a patrol man, who takes an
interest in his work and who makes
use of his grader for other purposes
than to ride on. A month ago this
particular road was next to impass-
able. 1t has long been known as
rough stony road and avoided by
motorists as such. But the new pa
trolman, Mr.. Vickerman has wrought
miracles. Today it is smooth, well
rounded, stones thrown off and in all,
a fine example of all that patrOlled
road should be under the supervision
of a patrolman who is willing co earn
his money by good honest labor.
This piece of road is to be covered
with mine tailings this summer, thus
giving Mineral Point hard surfaced
road connection with the west.

THE JUNIORS ENTERTAIN
Reception Given i'm Honor of the
High School Seniors.

Quite the prettiest and most pre-
tentious social event of the school
year was the reception given by the
Junior class of the High school, in
honor of the Senior class, on Friday
evening, May fifth.
The Juniors, under the direction of
Miss Idabel Edwards, adviser to the
class, had spared nothing in making
the occasion a completely pleasur-
able one.
The banquet was prepared and
served by the ladies of the Congrega-
tlOnal church, in the Community
Rooms of the church. The tables
We're laid for a hundred guests.
Centerpieces of Ward rosebuds, and
potted schizanthus, toy balloons .sus-
pended from the chair backs, and nut
cups with petals of blue and gold, all
conjoined to harmonic the chosen
colors of the Juniors.
A dainty three course banquet was
served and thoroughly enjoyed to an
orchestral accompaniment. The last
course was followed by the program
over which Edgar Prisk, a Junior,
presided admirably as POSTMASTER.
Toasts were made by Dorothy Ralph,
Junior president, to the Senior class !;
by Bernard Schill, Senior president,
to the Junior class; by Superinten-
dent Vieth on 1.-THE Consistency of
Inconsistency" by Lois Frazier, Sen
ior adviser, on "Poetical Nonsense"
and by Principal Dolezal, on Food
for Thought
After the program, the greater
number of the guests and hosts re-
paired to the Parish Hall for dancing
whence the orchestra had preceded
them. The Hall was transformed
into a veritable Japanese garden,
with it's variacolored lights, and can
opy of bright balloons and butterflies.
Gay caps of many styles and colors,
were favors for the merry-makers,
and confetti and long festoons of pa
per streamers lent a bizarre atmos-
phere to the affair.
During a pause in the evening Miss
Helen Harker and Miss Agnes HuX-
table gave very pretty Italian
dance in which Miss TSadOre Huff
had directed them.
The Juniors and Miss Edwards are
to be heartily congratulated on the
success of the occasion.
