He saw marked on the state of Texas "Acquired by annexation." A happy thought came to him, if possible for a country, why not for a girl. So he proceeded to annex his Jeannie. . Marriage was a simple affair at home. He supposed it was the same eyerywhere. He was mistaken. They did not belongto'the class who apply for "special dispensations." so the banns must be published for three Sundays. Such an or deal when he kissed his wife he called her the third Mri. Barron for had there not been three ceremonies? They rented a room that looked out on back yards and chimney pots and smelled of bilge water, but to them the view was a combina tion of the Lake; district, the Alps, and the Columbia river. The smells were transmuted by love into the perfumes of Araby the blest, and life went merrily on. (The Red Cross will tell you the ending of this little Idyl, tomorrow.) !

CONGRESSMAN j I1AWLEY AC CKITKD PROHIBITION PARTY NOMINATION. The following letter, dated Sa lem, September 7, is self-explanatory: .j ." "Mr. I. G. Lee, chairman; Mr. John B. Moorman, district con vention of the Prohibition party. First congressional district of Ore gon, Salem, Oregon: My dear sirs: I sincerely appreciate and accept the honor of nomination by the Prohibition party of the First congressional .district of Oregon, and shall endeavor to faithfully fulfil the trust im posed as representative In con gress from this district.' "I have already stated that 1 do not favor the modification ot the dry laws to provide for the increase in the alcoholic content of beverages. The nation is on a dry basis now, and this status should be maintained. "With best wishes, I am, "'Very truly, yours, "W. HAWLEY." worthy of support. I Another thing: A complete Republican victory at the polls two weeks from today will give the Filipinos great . relief. The Democratic administration over there has saddled unbearable burdens upon the (Filipinos, who must support it with their taxes. if they can. Princely salaries are being paid to third fathers-in-law of the governor, and Democratic office i holders from . the solid south are drawing great salaries stable and remunerative.

Through a process by which small prunes may be easily and quickly pitted that fruit will now be placed beside the ralsih in bakery products. Very small prunes have not been desired by anybody because there teemed nothing much to them except pit. Hut with that out of the way they are really sweeter and more pal atable than the large ones. For pies and for use in puddings and cakes they are fine. The prune men say that they can be sold much cheaper than the present- price of raisins. In that con nection it might -be asked how much of a kick have they rot? Bootleggers have beer sdfling water and prune Juice for whis key, but they never tried to put any: punch in it.

Accurate climatic data for southeastern Alaska, based on ob servations taken at all the larrer towns, are obtainable from the United States weather bureau. T stand t-arnestly for "a" league of Nations to minimize war and. moreover. I stand Tor "the" League with alterations in the direction pointed by tb Re publican reservations. My. rea sons are as follows: (II I have not forgotten the rf0.000.000 human beings who have died because of this war, or the death roll which will ytream frcm It for many years to come. I have not forgotten the social revolutions that have followed from the collapse of government, the daugers they have presented and continued to present to our civilization. I hav not forgotten that it U impossible with our modern World communication, to maintain the isolation of the United States. I know that the march of dreadful Invention dur ing the past war and the addition of our genius to these invention. n. the future will make the next great war ; a war of soldiers against civilians even to a greater extent than the latter part of the past war. 1 know that every so- c'al student realize that another great war will further loosen so cial forces, that will destroy our civilization and i's foundation In individualism. It requires no demonstration 'that the world ha a larger offensive armament to day than before the war; that, for instance, the British navy now dominates the entire world. In cluding the United States. The world, including, ourselves, is groaning today under taxes im posed by these armaments. " To at least try to lessen the danger of these things we require co-oper-atlve International, action "a" league. 2 I consider the essential principle ot such a league tJ be continuous council of men repre senting the authority and confi dence Pf their own countries In continuous service to mitigate' the causes which give rise to war. Their objects must be the pro gressive disarmaments of the world, the settlement of disputes by advice and conciliation, the es tablishment of international jus tice and arbitration, the mainten ance of organization, procedure and of courts to this end, the cre ation of public opinion against acts of aggression. It needs no more ' powers than public opin ion and upon approval of the most powerful weapon in modern civi lization, that is, the economic boycott against countries who would disregard the decisions of international tribunals and start ventures that could involve the world in war. Furthermore, such a body can perform great and be neficent service to the world in building up ot international ac tion concerned with the protec tion of life and private property at sea, the spread ot contagious disease, the development of Inter national communications. To gether with many million other Americans. I " care but little for the words In which such an agree ment is expressed. ItMs immater ial to me what the name of the body is. The world has gotten used to "League", so there is no point In change. (3)1 see no reason why such a body should have any power that leads to super-government or that in any way minimizes the very es sential principle of nationalism upon which our patriotism and progress are founded. I do not believe that interest in the wel fare of our neighborhood under mines our family life. On the contrary. I believe It strengthens it with a wider understanding. 1 do not consider that the question of the powers of such a body Is a matter of principle, as has been contended by our Democratic friends: It is merely a matter of method. While to get peace I would have accepted Article X. subject to uperauthorlty of con gress, I have always believed thai any 4ower of such a body to call for military force undermines the intrinsic strength of any Institu tion that must be based on moral forces and public good will. The cower of economic boycott-can be Imnlemented without military force and the resolve to'have nei ther communication nor business with a nation bent on agression l a more potent weapon 'for good than any threat of military agres sion. The world has come to a condition of economic dependence Upon which no nation can moral ly or physically survive cont.nued isolation. . The privation, unem ployment, economic difficulties that arise in any nation so isolat ed are snch that no political ele ment In that community can con tinue in control. I do not consid er that such a council should have the right to commit, either actually or morally, any of the member nations without their considered votex . (4) I believe that the present covenant with alterations indicat ed by the Republican reservations entirely covers such an assorts tion as I describe. I favor build ing upon the present league as a matter of practical statesmanship Thirty-nine nations representing 75 per cent -of the people of the globe have accepted it. They are not going to consent to Its de struction; they will accept altera tion and Improvement. The pres ent league has functions connect ed with the execution of the Treaty of Versailles that mate it an integral part of the stability of Europe, entirely aside from Its functions in the prevention ot war. By necessity some reservoir for Insolvable problems, such as Danzig and Constantinople, the present league. is Intertwined In the stability of Europe and can not be torn down without again jeopordiz ng the world in war The stability of Europe and its gradual recuperation are abso lutely vital to ejkery working-man and every farmer in the United States.' I do not believe retpon sible or practical- statesmanhip will far one moment invite chaos by endeavoring to tear up the set tlement which has been arrived at. Th's treaty Is bv no mean perfect, but I know of no human compromises that reach the area of perfection. So far as I have been able to observe, the other members of the league place no premium on the dotting of an "I or.the crossing of a "t" In regard to its purp 'n mitigating the dangers ot future war. They are Perfectly willing (for alteration that does not undermine the broad principles of international action of great nations to mini mize the danger of war and It spread. ' (it) I have found but few men and women In the United States who do not desire a league based upon the above -broad prinelp!.. I do not believe the American peo ple wish to have even a moral riiggestion of the necessity to en ter upon war as a method of pre vention of war. and they want some secondary .changes in the covenant as to representation and better expressed protection of our traditional policies. ' For one who ardently advocates a league. I have no faith In a par ty that will delay the woria Deace for over a year by obstin ately refusing to meet the public demand over points of nulnod that even they now appear to question by promising some kind of reservations. 1 have confi dence in the assurances of the Republican party to bring about an agreement to install the major purposes c f a leaene. and that un der President Harding we will have an era of practical states manship that cTuickly dispose of the problem In a large, broad minded way. by building upon the preuit structure and then get to our other great job economic reconstruction, .f month i of operation which sounds mighty good.
