 The federal council is charged with participating officially in political matters. One overture declares that the Presbyterian church must sever all relations with the council flor the reason that said council is participat- ing officially in matters political sccu- lar" Such participation, the over ture states, is 'unscriptural and not in accord with the historic position and repeated declarations of our church."

MAPPING OUT NEW
 FOREIGN POLICIES
lnternationalism Will be Princi- pal Feature Of French Govt.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Paris, May 17. - Internationalism will be one principal feature of the new government program, it appears 1 from joint statement of the princi- pies of the new paTff.me atary ma ior- ity, issued by M. Herriot, leader of the radicals, former Premier Pain l leve, leader of the republican social ists and Leon Blim, head of the so- cialists.
 "The program of the future ma ior- ity is a program of cancellation and of international understanding" they say. The rather vague declaration adds that the new majority will have a financial program with the object of obtaining a real balance of the budget and involving fight against the high cost of living, which means a struggle against the depreciation of the franc.
 Separate declarations by the lead CTS of the different fractions in the new majority support the idea that the future government will endeavor 10 reach a complete understanding with Germany, NJ. Herrot in one re- mark characterizes the foreign policy Of the forthcoming cabinet as more humane"
 This attitude on the part of the new masters of the French political policy is regarded in diplomatic cir cles as certain to bring, on another series Of international conferences.
 The chances for a rebirth of the supreme council is still remote, be- cause the radicals and socialists will prefer to widen these discussion by the admission of the former enemy countries and the neutrals.
 Premier Macdonald of Great Brit ain is also understood to ba of this mind, so early summoning of Euro pean barley in which Germany will take part is expected

GILLETT BACKS UP
 COOLIDGE'S POLICY
Promises to Work for His Pro-

Washington. May 17.--A pledge 10
 support wholeheartedly the policies
 Of President Coolidge" if elected
 senator .rom Massachusetts, is given < by Speakt> Gillott in a letter to R. NJ. | Washburn, secretary of the Roosevelt ! club at Boston, The speaker also de- | clared there is not the slightest chance Of any substantial change in
 the yostead law"
 Declining an invitation 10 address a | luncheon meeting of the club today because of his inability to get away from Washington, Mir Gillett referred to President Coolidge as the greatest asset Of the republican party"
 You remember when the election was held six years ago." the speaker said, "the main argument for the democratic candidate was that a sen- ate was needed who would support President Wilson. You also remem- Der. the result. If should be elected I promise there shall be no such dis appointment My purpose would be to support wholeheartedly the policies of President Coolidge. He is the EFPhthst ahSCl or tne fpnnDliCAn phrtN and has shown such sound Judgment and such wise and thorough grasp Of our national problems that am glad to trust his leadership.
 "I note from the press that both the so-called vets and dry are trying 10 make Of their differences politi- cal issue in this campaign. It seems 10 me the only issue related to that subject now is law enforcement. The eighteenth amendment has been adopted and is the law of the land. Intil if is repealed, which [ fe not believe will ever be possible, certainly not in my lifetime, the only issue is its enforcement.
 There is not the slightest chanre of any substantial change in the Vol stead law. Most Of the changes urged are both Illegal and imprscticsble and seem to me merely device for agitation. ! favor strict and vigorous law enforcement. not that lip service which declares for law while patroniz- irg and shielding bootleggers. but that genuine service which eniists earnestly to root oat the eSil..

WOMAN INFERIOR
 ID MAN IS ISSUE
Scriptural Principle Comes Up Before Presbyterian Conference
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
 san Antonio, Tex, May 17.--"The subordination of woman to man." as scriptural principle of the Presby- terlan church in the United States, again is a living issue before the gen. eral assembly of the church row in its 64th session here. A year ago this question was settled in favor of wom- en by action of the assembly in ad- hitting them to executive committees of the assembly. The issue has been giving trouble since then according to reports filed by several Presbyteres, and today the assembly has before it at least ten oyertures from various sections Of the country, some de- manding that women be excluded rom the committees and one pro- testing any change in the 1923 action.
 The executive committees are those on foreign missions, home mission, Christian education and ministerial relief, and publication and sabbath school work. These bodies deal with the major activities of the national church body.
 Only one Presbytery sending in overtures on the question favors wom- on on the committees. The presby- tery Of St. Johns, synod of Florida, has introduced an overture recording its hearty appreciation of the policy Of admitting women to membership on our executive committees as being appropriate and practical and would respectfully overture the general as- scmbly of our church to make no change whatever in the policy of the church in this matter, already settled and established by enactment of the general assembly.
 From the Presbytery Of Dallas comes a demand that the question be referred back 10 the Presbyterians for action. The action Of last years assembly has caused widespread dis satisfaction" said the Dallas resolu- ton.
 The Preshytory of Concord declares that admission of women to these committees, "is necessarily in viola ton Of the scriptural principle of subordination of woman to man." and requests revision of the action.

Member of State
Board In RaWlins

business visitor in Rawlins Tuesday
of this week.
Mr.. Draper wa en- route to Salt
Lake City where he will attend the
hearing which will be held there in
coal from Wyoming points to the
northwest.
The hearing is being held on APP
plication of Idaho and Utah oper-
ators who complain that the rates
from Wyoming points are too low
compared with the rates from those
states.
1t is the general opinion that coal
operators in states adjoining Wyo-
ming are determined to make it just
as difficult as possible for Wyoming
coal to be shipped to the northwest.
The Kemmeror coal, especially, has
a big market in the northwest
states.
The Wyoming officials will make
every effort to keep the freight rates
from this state as 10 avs they are
at present and will submit consider
able evidence to the Interstate Com
merce Commission In this connec-
ton.

License Questions
Discussed By Lions

Under existing laws and the meth
DDS whereby they are made effec-
tive, Wyoming is deriving only a
small part of its legitimate revenue
from the sale OF game licenses, a
lively discussion at the Lost Thurs
day meeting of the Rawlins Lions
Club disclosed. Members who have
been engaged in selling licenses this
year and previously declared that
persons known to be nonresident al
most to n certainty were neverthe-
less buying resident licenses, and
that ct present there was no way
for checking up this loss of revenue
to the state.
Other members pointed out that
the rIniOritv e nnu-resident fieNe"-
men buy no licenses at all. It Is
true chat the work of restocking
Wyoming streams is partially done
by Federal aeancles paid for bv
by monies from other states as we'll
as by agencies paid for by the state
OF Wyoming: but Wyoming is IN
titled to more protection than eX-
lists under present conditions. These
points We're discussed with much
spirit at the Lions luncheon.
Kleber Hadsell declared that fish
were not the only item OF our game
being subjected to unlawful depre-
dat'ons. Carcases of antelope are
to be found here and there over the
prairie, especially south of Wam-
suffer. he declared, and it Is known
that this Is tho work of occupants
OF cars from Rawlins. Several
times he has been instrumental in
getting a game warden into the par
ticular territory considered. but
authorities have not been able to
catch the law-breakers literally red
handed.
Since the law in so open n coun-
try as that in Carbon and adjacent
counties is necessarily rather futile
unless an army of wardens Is en-,
ployed an appeal to the good citi.
Henship of Rawlins people was made.
Cub Geo. A. Deaton, good-fellow-
ship chairman for the day, opened
the discussion by reading a request
for supDort OF n governmental ap
preparation covering the construction
OF retreat ponds for trout fry a
the edge Of several lakes in the
Medicine Bow forest reserve.
The need for these retreat ponds
Is clearly shown in an article which
appeared in the December 9th edi
ton of The Republican. Excerpts
from this article follow:
In order TO keen the lakes of tbs

RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE

At the regular meeting of Summit
Lodge No. ST, b. of l.. F. & E., held
on Monday, January seventh, the
following resolutions were unanim-
ouslv adopted:
Whereas. it has pleased the Grand
Master of the Universe to remove
from our midst our beloved brother,
Edward Casey, who has been a faith
ful and worthy member of our order.
Therefore. Be 1t Resolved That
while we hold in sfateful remem-
brance the life apd good deeds of
a noble and generous brother. we
nevertheless bow to the will of the
Supreme Ruler of the Universe.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That our

a period of thirty days and that
these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes OF our order and a copy OF
these resolutions be sent to the fam

each year, be kept fully stocked. A
small pond, capable OF holding 5000
to 10000 fry throughout the sum-
mer can easily be built adjacent to
these lakes at little cost. The out
let's and inlets to these are of course
screened to keep out the large fish.
The fry can be liberated in these
ponds either in spring or fall and
kept in them for a full season. II
plenty of food Is available, they will
grow very fast and when turned
into the lakes, will be able to take

the cooperation of the county. the
state game and fish department, the
U. S. Bureau of Fisheries and the
local sportsmen's associations may
be secured to build these retaining
ponds so urgently needed.
