AS Doorway to League
In New York Speech

NEW YORK, July 26.-"Call it a
court or what you will, its genesis Is
the League Of Nations. If we be-
come a part of what is happening
abroad, we would be but the dupe or
the prey of the one faction or the
other"
This was the keynote Of the speech
delivered by Senator Hiram w. John
son of California at a dinner given
in his honor at the Waldorf-Astor1a
last night. The Senator had just re.
turned from a four and q half
months visit to Europe. during
which time he made careful STUDY
of political and economic conditions
and particularly analysed the rune,
tons of the League of Nations ana
the world court.
The dinner was an event OF
marked political Importance. one
in which the distinguished Cali

thusiastic acclaim.

This cabinets resignation is the
elimination of a long and continu-
Gus fight to have the governor take
the advice of his cabinet as 'his

ment Governor Wood has been
surrounded by advisers Of his own
choosing, mostly army men without
legal status, as their positions are
unprovided for by law, and they
are therefore irresponsible and I'M

Of a civil governor.
There is nothing personal in this
conflict, as Governor Wood is per-

people here.
"It is purely a disagreement re-
garding policies and the conception

governor maintaining that regard
less of laws, properly enacted by the
Legislature and which have not been
declared unconstitutional by the
country's court or repealed by Con-
gress, he may disregard them IL in
his opinion they. in any way curtail
the governors powers.
I'VE say that If the governor
general has the right to decide him

that if this present government was

the sovereignty of the United

"In this fight against Governor
Wood no question of loyalty to-

The Filipinos in the past war
showed by deed, not words. their
loyalty toward the United States
and their appreciation of the gen

TAKE STOCK NOW, SAYS DR. HOBBS.
People Should AnaIyze Their Year And Plan Like
 Merchants

Business men ascertain the condi- tion of their business at the end of the year; why would 1t not be fitting that you and take stock of ourselves spiritually at this time?"
 This was the question propounded to his congregation by pr. J. R. Hobbs. pastor of the First Baptist church. at the Sunday morning serv- ice.
 Taking for his subject the ques- tion, How Old Art Thou?" pr. Hobbs brought out the age-old interest in the question of persons using specific illustrations from many periods.
 But a more important question that each man might put to him self is: What have done in the years gone by? What achievements have been wrought by my hand dur ing the year. 1923?" continued the speaker.
 Each mans record has been writ. ten for all time and cannot be blot ted out; therefore it is all the more necessary to put to ones self thu above query.
 There are certain rules that should be observed in the business of living, stated Dr. Hobbs. The first 20 years of mans life should be spent in getting an education. The years 20 to 30 should be used for laying a foundation for ones future career and from 30 to 40 for completing that foundation. Between 40 and so, a man should build on the foundation laid before that time, and from 60 to the end of his life, the years ought to be used for conserving what hl 1raa n1l
 Broader still," he said, "is the question:: What preparation have l made for the future?" Each person should ask this of himself, and give himself fair and square answer to it. There are two considerations Dr. Hobbs. First, no man knows what the future holds for himself. Since he can have no guarantee of what the future will bring. he should have himself prepared for it. Second sometimes a. man gets sick and sometimes a man gets old. and in each case he may find his produc- tive years ended. One should ask himself what preparation he has made against this kind of an emer- gency.
 whether things go well or not, man Is always looking for the time when they will go well. and the most fatal discovery man has ever made Is that the ideal time never comes" quoted Dr. Hobbs.
 More fitting still Is 1t that at the close Of the year man should ask himself a still more important ques- tion: "What is the time to take stock of ones self spiritually, and put to ones self fairly the query: Am l Ready?"
 pr. Hobbs concluded with an ap- peal to the congregation to make themselves ready to meet God.

COMMISSIONER CLOE TALKS ON IMM0RALITY
Hopes To See Birmingham Most
 Moral City In South

A growing tendency among young people to stage night automobile rides and "petting" parties should be met by Birmingham parents with vigorous steps to stamp it out, w. B. Cloe, com- missioner of public safety, declared in an address to men only at the Fair field Baptist church Sunday.
 Simultaneously, Mrs. Elizabeth Bar ter, policewoman, addressed a meeting of women at the Fairfield Methodist church. Other meetings of this kind are planned for Sunday afternoons during the coming year.
 Three hundred men, many of them parents, heard Mir. Cloes message. A crowded auditorium also greeted Mrs. Barter.
 Commissioner Close closely followed the outline of the address he deliv- cred in Birmingham several weeks ago, which created a mild sensation. He told how parents, by tactful hand ling of their children, could eliminate much of the laXity now prevalent among the younger set"
 "Our young people of today are the parents of tomorrow" said the com missioner, "and 1t is squarely up to parents to talk freely to their chil- dren and save them from the pitfalls that ever surround them. It is my hope that Birmingham some day shall have the name of the most moral city in the south. Will not Birmingham parents help to make it so?"

lieved, or judgment concerning it held in suspense. And more important still, they insist that belief or disbe lief in the virgin birth does not make any difference.
 Suppose it were proved-which it has not been, and probably, never will be-tnat Jesus was born naturally of Mary and Joseph. What difference would it make in the Jesus Christ whom we worship and obey? Would the Sermon on the Mount, the worlds supreme staten. ent of human duty be anything less than it now Is? WouIc that life devoted to good deeds set us any less holy an example? Would the self-sacrifice which found it's highest expression on the cross be any less compelling as an ideal? If there were no virgin birth, as you behold Christ in the Scriptures, as you behold Him in the services of the church, would you not love Him. and worship Him, and adore Him, and obey Him, would you not find in Him the supreme revelation of God AL mighty just as you do now?
