It is the same old thing in the same old way.
The same old way in which the Johnson bunch have "carried"
all the other claimed states, excepting California; that is:
By a minority vote.
Not a majority in any state outside of California.
If the Lowden and Hoover votes had been cast for General Wood,
on Friday, Hiram would have been! far short of a majority.
But what -of. it!
What if Hiram Johnson has carried the preference primary in trees killed.
Oregon! -By
the estimate of the Associated Press, this will give him at
the most 110 votes out of the 990 at Chicago. , .
And that is all he will ever get, and he will never get that many

Imperfect Eyes Do
Not Always Mean
Poor Vision'
Quite' often, even with imper
fect eyes, good vision Is ob
tained by straining them. Just
as long as eyes can obtain, by
extra exertion, perfect vision
they will do so. and it is this
continual effort from morning
till night, and day after day
that causes so much fatigue,
so much nervousness and so
many headaches.
You know what a hardship It
Is to strain the muscles of your
back all day long, or to walk
continuously hour after hour.
Then you can better appreciate
the strain upon the delicate
muscles of the eye when they
are subjected to this severe ex
ertion in trying to overcome
defects.
If your eyes are Imperfect you
are retarding your own pro
gress, and laying up for your
self future troubles that may
be quite serious.
If you do not know the condl
tlon of your eyes. Or If you
suspect that they are respoa
sible for nervous disorders,
headaches, etc. then you had
better have there examined and
find out for certain.
I am equipped with both the
delicate last r a meats and the
experience to properly diagnose
your needs, and have the equip
ment for making the lenses and
adjusting them to give most
satisfactory service.
We own and operate a complete
lens grinding plant and can de
liver your glasses the same day
. they are ordered.

vernal boycott, and (4) open diplo
macy. The reservations would re
lelve the United State from the
guaranty of Article X. but from
none of, the other obligations.
Forty Democratic senators agreed
to either or two forms of reserva
tion as to Article X:
Releasing the affirmative obliga
tion of thj United States under Ar
ticle X.
Releasing the affirmative obliga
tion of the'United States under Ar
ticle X and leaving the whole matter
under the article to the dsicretlou
of congreia.
The same forty senators s greed to
the Lodge reservation as to the Moa
roe Doctrine, except that they wished
to ssy the ssme thing only twice
Instead of saying It three times, as
the Republlcsns had said IL Mr.
Wilson repudiates the action of all
the Democratic senstors. ss well as
that of the Republicans. Mr. Wil
son's words interpreted In the light
of the facts show that, unless he csn
secure the sgreement of the senate
to Article X. of which he is the
author, without any qualifications
of It, he Is will lag to destroy the'
whole Lesgue.
The real friends et the League,
who have no political bias or per
sonal pride ef authorship, aro anx
ious thst the Leasee with the Lodge
reserratloas shall b ratified as the
oaly way la which ratification can
coma. They believe that It is most
valaable for the world even without
Article X. and the other nations;
agree with them. They believe that
with the pewer of amendment pro-'
vlded ia it Its defects, as experleaV
shall show them, csn be remedied.
Mr. Wilson's objection Is thai the
United States must be bo and to use
military force to raaiatala the terrv
torial integrity and political Inde
pendence of all the members of the
Lesgue. The other members of the
Leagae who would naturally be in
terested In preserviag the Ualled
States' obligation under Article X
are willing to release it If only the
United States will give lit and
strength to the Lesgue by join is g It
and complying with Its three other
great provisions for preserviag peace.
Mr. Wilson says that' he will net
sennit the United State . to eater
the League unless It assume a bar
den to others they do not ask.

chief agent la preventing the United
States from upholding Its honor and
performing its duty as a member of
