It (Special) A statement came from Chief Justice Mi Bride of tb Supreme Court today. In which he upholds th interpretation recently given by Senator McNary of the National prohibition amendment. In which h declared th amendment was valid regardless of the limitation of tlm Incorporated therein. Venator McNary in pronouncing the amendment valid said that It must be admitted that Congress haa th right to paes the resolution of submission tthout restriction as to tlm of Its sented for consideration of the league's programme. t Beard Frovras ea Leagso. Th board generally frowfied upon the attempt to secure Indorsement of the Non -Partisan League, and for that roanon the proposal was 'not brouirht before the convention In any definite form. ouLslde of mere mention In Presi dent Brown's report. "I am still an active members of the Farmers Union and am now upon the board of directors of the Dayton co operative warehouse, a union organiza tion. Thoroughly In touoh with sen timent, I am positive that affiliation or Indorsement Is not even contem plated, and can brand any Impressions to that effect aa erroneous. "The concensus of opinion among farmers Is that there Is no need for such an organisation as the Non partisan League In this state. W" feel that we have the Instruments needed to gain our ends, through the Initiative and referendum. We feel that if u-e have a case worthy of consideration, th taxpayers of Oregon will back the farmers up. This Is borne out In the rural credits measure, voted by the taxpayers of the state, for our welfare. Party Not Needed. "Wo feel that we have no more need for a farmers' party than your.irrocery men have for a grocers' party. The Farmers' I'nlon Is, strictly epeaklntr. adoption and that If It saw fit to attach a business organization. We do an ex a provision limiting the time In which tensive grain-handling business and tn resolution must be adopted by th ' hav lis warehouse throughout the Hlxl.I.J.I.Itir.a I. n . 1 tlve. the most serious penalty that the courts could pronounce upon this char-. acter of legislation would be to declare the limitation mere aurplueag for th reason that th limitation Is not an Integral part of the amendment," said the Chief Justice. 'All that th Conetltutlon requires a submission of th amendment to th several slates for ratification.", h continued. Th Conetltutlon does not nhiblt Congress from attaching a tlm imitation In which th amendment may be ratirird. and hence It Is competent for Congress to prescribe a time limit." Th amendment limits Its own ratifica tion by the states to seven yoara. TEUTON SPECTRE WORRIES NO QUININE lil THJSJOLO CURE rape's Cold Compound Ends . Colds and Grippe in a Few Hoars.

In these matters Mayor Thompson sked that "be It resolved" that the constitution as quoted In Its preamble be strictly observed. The spectacular feature of th day was provided by the women. It had been arranged that Mrs. Abbie Scott Haker. of the Woman's Party, a lately Incarcerated White House picket. -should addraa th commute. in behalf of the Susan R Anthony amendment and that Mies Minnie Branson and Miss Lucy Price, of the Organisation Opposed to Woman Suffrage, should oppose Mrs. BakeSj . ..
