AYliile lie could wot in brif tiii ?'Xliin delaTls of vliat the actions liicaLt tt the afd- t;tbl; entirely, lie sjiid nonyh to let us all know that there was many things wliieli lie did not approve of, ami which he lias hopes will he changed. .For instance, the Shantung niaUer in, which Japan through the peace treaty has fastened her hld on China indefinitely, is one of the main points that has fanned discord on this side of the water and during the 2acc negotiations (failed forth more criticism at homo tlia'n probably any other single point. The President ad mits lUtt it is wrong -and not w'liat he would like to have Lad. All of which goes to show that the peace conference in reality was a gathering- of statesmen who were more or less flexible. . What will'devehip as the I'resident talks more of the peace table sessions is only conjecture. W ill he explain to the satisfaction of the country'? Will the country en dorse his every act? Will there he criticism of a nature ' that will briny down disapproval' These are questions remaining to be answered. This luiirJi, however, is .true: The .President has thus far satis fied most people with the meager explanations made. The whole country, nave with very few exceptions, is for a league of nation", or some kind of a combination to pre vent as much as ,os il. wars in the future. Kven those who down deep believe it is not possible to prevent wars. favor some Jind ol a league that will do its best to dcla . war. The President's return has had a quieting effee! on some of his critics. . His utterances have at least slop ped for the time being, bitter denunciation, and if admis sions from hini continue as to the faults of the treaty, it is very likely that the American people will stand with hiiii very solidly on foreign matters. "A vote today on the league of nations would bring out a very decided majority in its favor, but when the whole thing' has been dissected r different phase may appear anil its.popularity may wan-. However, it is very apparent that if this league "plan not endorsed that souk; sort ol a plan will be that will have for its basic principle the postponement as far as possible of worldly conflict. The main thing for America to cm shier is how far are we sign ing away our rights in order in assist in having a league of nations. A HEART TO HEART WATER TALK. ''La (!nri'!e is using riv.'r water right here in the dead suinnier hi La (Jraiid' has used river water more or Jess ever since the present water system Las been in stalled. Laying aside all crilii-ism of man or motive and getting down to a heart to heart talk. on the water ques tion, is if not about time t hat; sonic I h ing should be done to insure this city a water supply the year round? i , Is the town not large enough to demand pure mountain water when all know there is such water in the mountains that. awaits proper construction of pipe lines and water plant. .The fault, we truly believe, is not in the lack of of water, but the inadequate plant, that has been built t" convey water to the city. .Mistakes? Yes, plenty of them. l!ut to rail and rant about the past will do no good now. The best that can be done at present is to hi' honest with the people and advise the public the' moment river water is pumped into the mains. And by all means keep the ehlorinatiou plants in perfect working order. Hut, do we wish to continue this from year to year? Certainly not. Then what is the remedy? It is very pluhti I .a (Irande must spend more money on an already laulty water system. There is no way to avoid it, -and the sooner we get our courage up to the point of doing il the .spoiler will we have water when we most need it in the middle of the suinnier.

He charged that the state had proven its consmracy charge against the two Non-Partisan League leaders, through the testimcny of witnesses who heard various speeches made by the defendants, through evidence in the form of league literature and through the testimony of the state's leading witnesses, . on of whom was F. J. Teigen, a former member of the league, who declared, that Townlcy told him in 1SH7, ''We arc against this war, but can't affon' to advertise it." A moment after Nicholas closed hi.i argument Townley stepped before the court, said he had discharged his coun sel and asked permission to address the jury. Judge Dean pointed out to Townlcy that -this was a case of alleging con ¬ spiracy, in which the law holds that the two defendants, if found r-niltv jwouia ue considered eiiually guilty. i Tho court questioned whether the law would permit one of the defendant to try his own case in an action of this kind, without legally representing th other defendant. Townlcy is not a lawyer. After attorneys had consult ed authorities, Tovvniey's request was denied. Townlfy, after a brief conference ith his attorneys, announced that io view of Judge Iean's decision, he had! decided to test his case without argu ment.
