Adopted at Spokane Session Today

ratification of the . German peace
treaty with tys leagueof nations cov
enant calling upon democratic sena
tors to "oppose attachment of any
nullifying reservations and finally rat
ifying the instrument," is a plank m

and war profit taxes for this purpose;
We condemn the insincerity and dil
atory tactics. in .this matter of the
republican majorities in the federal
congress and In the state legislature."
The resolutions continue by stat
ing opposition "to any peace '" time
plan of compulsory military service
or training."
"Because of the undue influence
of press columns too largely controls
ed by selfish interests we favor the
issuance by the federal government
of a publicity pamphlet or bulletin
giving arguments for and against pub
" measures, to be distributed to the
voters oi the nation by the govern
ment for their information, such pam
phlet to be edited by a non-political

F. L. Coates lost his life as the result
of Injuries received in an accident

Keeley Denied
Admission to
Bar of Oregon
Lee Rov B. Keeley. Portland attor
ney, Is denied admission to the Oregon ,
bar by the supreme court this morn
ing in an opinion written by Justice
Bennett. In view of the fact that
Keeley has been practicing law In this
state under a temporary permit, how
ever, the court grants an extension of
this permit in order to enable him to
complete the cases which he has pend
ing in the courts but does not permit
him to engage In any new litigation.
The action of the court today is
based on objections to Keeley's admis
sion to the practice of law In Oregon
filed by the board of examiners of the
state bar association.
Waiving aside the charges of Im
proper, Immoral and unprofessional
conduct contained in the objections to
Keeley's admission the court decfares
i the court bases its refusal this morn-
ing on Keeley's "general disposition as
disclosed by his own evidence and his
conduct ana expresions at tne invesu
gatlon," which, the court holds, "fully

Jugtlfy the conclusion of the examln
ers that they could not conBistly rec
ommend him for admission to the
bar."
In granting the extension to his
temporary permit to practice law In
Oregon in order that he may complete
cases now pending, the court makes
the extension conditional "upon his
conducting such litigation wth reason
able courtesy and respect toward the
courts and member of the- bar with
whom he may come in contact In dls-
posing of such cases.'

men in an attempt to follow the dic
tates of their consciences, refused to
accept military service many of
them because of religious scruples, all
of them because of the dictates of
their consciences. Conscientious ob
jectors to war are and should be clas
sified as political offenders. We are
proud of the fact that freedom cf
conscience is a cardinal principle of
American Institutions.
"Hundreds of our conscieutlous ob-
Jectors have since the armistice been
released. It Is unjust still to keep oth
ers in prison.
"Among those still in military con
finement are Carl Haessler of Wiscon
sin, and Philip Grosser of Massachu
setts, the latter being In extremely
bad health. They are the only two
conscientious objectors still in Alca

Together with the other groups they
should at least receive the clemency
that has been eended to hundreds
already released."
