Thirty-three automobiles: load

a force big enough to stop them.
"No one -will - dejiy that rum
running Is going on at the Canada

ated." he asserted. "I admit that
many newspaper stories about the
Illicit traffic are true." . e
According to the newspaper stor
ies to which he 'referred, report
ers checking for !. several - nights
traffic on the 25 highways -leading
from the St. Lawrence, count
ed 50 to 150 rum cars speeding

annual
session of the 'northwest electric
light and power convention at Se

Much of .the program was of a
technical nature, lhat is hot al
ways, thoroughly understood by
the outside reader. . But two big
matters were: discussed that inti
mately affect the! western public.
One was the buying of public
utility securities, which' mean

by the public that : patronises the

is taking .the lead of the whole

now has almost 10 per cent of Its
total . number of patrons on 1 its
books fas stockholders. The day
of financing these intimate local
business-developing Industries at
home seems to be dawning in the
northwest, and the showing ' made
by the convention a to the . pro

Greater Excuse for Conflict
Now Exists Than During
1914 Says Senator Un
derwood on Return
SOLUTION ELSEWHERE
THAN IN WORLD COURT
United States Should Aid in
Adjustment But By An
other Method
WASHINGTON. July 5. More
causes , for war exist in , Europe
today than in January. 1914, Sen
ator Underwood of Alabama, for
mer Democrat floor leader of the
senate declared in a speech today
describing conditions as he found
them during a trip abroad. While
he contended the ' United States
must aid . Europe in adjusting ita
affairs. yhe said that nothing in
that direction could be accom
plished by joining an internation
al court of justice.
-Dodges Politics i
No reference . was made in the
statement to , democratic . politics
notwithstanding the statement of
the senator before his departure
for Europe that he would discuss
the possibility of becoming. a pre
sidential candidate as urged by
his friends on his return. t
. Declaring that nothing had been
done by the United States to as
sist in , the solution of European
problems. Senator Underwood In
sisted that this country could not
ecape Its ' obligations. "If there
Is not war," he asserted, "It will
be solely because tEurope is finan
cially and economically exhausted"
Finances . Uncertain
Declaring that the governments
abroad, are almost as : uncertain
and unsecure as finance. Senator
Underwood said the various gov
ernments were drifting to save
their faces, without' definite poli
cies. "Our governmental arm," the
statement ' continued, 'seems par
alysed so far as help In that di
rection is concerned. We sem to
be standing in respect to the af
fairs of Europe without apology,
without courage of conviction,
without anything that goes to
make a man a man or a govern
ment a government. We seem to
be just observing and drifting at
least so far as the public is al
lowed to . know. We
continue to drift downstream and
the roar of the cataract can be
