' LODGE AND THE LEAGUE Following are excerpts from a speech by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge in regard to the proposed con atitution for a league of nations: "I will follow any man aid vole - tor any measure which in n? bv. est opinion will make for the main tenance of the world's peace. I will follow no man and vote for no meas ure which, however well 'intended, seem in my best judgment to lead to dissensions rather than to har mony among the nations or to injury peril, or injustice to my country. "In the draft prepared lor a con stitution of a league of nations, which Is now before the world, there is hardly a clause about the inter pretation of which men do not al ready differ. As It stands there is serious danger that the very nations which sign the constitution of the league will quarrel about the mean ing of the various articles before a twelvemonth has passed. It seems to have teen very hastily drafted, and the result ft crudeness and looseness of expression, unintentional, I hope. There are certainly many doubtful passages and open questions obvious In the articles which can not he set- i tied by Individual Inference,, but which must be made so clear and so distinct that we may all understand the exact meaning of the instrument to which we are to be asked to set our hands. The language of these ar ticles does not appear to me to have the precision and unmistakable char acter which a constitution, a treaty, or a law ought to present. The lang nage only too frequently is not the language of laws or statutes. The articles concerning mandatories, for example, contains an argument and a statement of existing conditions. Arguments and historical facts have no place In a statute or a treaty. Statutory and legal language must assert and command, not argue and describe. I press this point because there Is nothing so vital to the peace of the world as the sanctity of trea ties. The suggestion that we can safely sign because we can always violate or abrogate Is fatal not only to any league hut to peace Itself. Ton can not found world peace upon the cynical "scrap of paper" doc trine so dear to Germany. To what ever Instrument the TJnlted States ets its hand It must carry out the provisions of that Instrument to the last jot and title, and observe It ab solutely iboth in letter and in spirit. Xf this Is not done the instrument will become a source of controversy Instead of agreement, of dissension Instead of harmony: This is all the more essential because It is evident, although not expressly stated, that this league is Intended to be indis soluble, for there is no p fusion for lis termination or for the withdrawal of any signatory. We areleft to In fer that, any nation withdrawing from the league exposes itself to pen alties and proibaMy to war. The high cost of deliveries is really a myth Lots of people have been tolling you that all Rrocery deliveries are expensive. That they greatly increase the cost of your food. That you ought to save this cost by carrying your ' groceries home. - On the contrary our customers find our delivery , system really economical. It doesn't add to the cost of their groceries and provisions.. It saves their time and energy which they can more profitably derate to their homes or to various out side interests. Of course, if our business were small a delivery sys tem would be reflected in slightly higher prices, but with so many hundreds-of customers the cost per customer be comes practically nothing. In addition we believe our customers-are entitled to this service. We feel that it is part of a grocer's business to make deliveries. Our whole organization is built to serve you in this, and other ways. For example, we maintain a telephone tor your con venience. We extend credit. We carry the highest quality groceries we can buy. And we suggest to you various things we know to be especially good. ' We take an interest In what you buy when we sell you the ingredients for a rake, we like to know how it's going to turn out. That's why we recommend to you RYZON, the Per fect Baking Powder. There's no uncertainty about RYZON success is a foregone conclusion, 'for It Is thoroughly dependable and at 40c per pound It is down right economy. Ask us about the RYZON Baking Book it you , haven't one already. You'll wonder how you ever got ' along without -it. KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY Quality First "Washington declared against per manent alliances. He did not close the door on temporary alliances for particular purposes. Our entry luto the great war just closed was en tirely in accord with and violated In no respect the 'policy laid down by Washington. When we went to war with Germany we made no treaties with the nations engaged in the war against the German government. The president was so careful in this di rection that he did not permit him self ever to refer to the nations by whose side we fought as 'allies,' but always aa 'nations associated with us In the war.' The attitude recom mended 'by Washington was scrupu lously maintained even under the pressure of the great conflict. Now, in the twinkling of an eye, while passion and emotion reign, the Washington policy Is to be entirely laid aside and we are to enter upon a permanent and indissoluble alli ance. That which we refuse to do In war we are to do in peace deliber ately, coolly, and with no war ex igency. Let us not overlook the pro found gravity of this step. "I have seen It said that the Mon roe Doctrine is preserved under ar ticle 10; tfiat we do not abandon the Monroe Doctrine, we merely extend it to all the world. How anyone can say this passes my comprehension. The Monroe Doctrine exists solely for the protection of the American hemisphere, and to that hemisphere It was limited. If you extend It to all the world, it ceases to exist, be cause It rests on nothing 'but the dif ferentiation of the American hemi sphere from the rest of the world. Under the draft of the constitution of the league ot nations American questions and European questions and Asian and African questions are all alike put within the control and Jurisdiction of the league. Europe win have the right to take part in policing the American continent and the Panama Canal, and in return we are to have, by way of compensation, the right to police the Balkans and Asia Minor when we are asked to do so. Perhaps the time has come when It is necessary to do this, hut it is a very grave step, and I wish now merely to point out that the Ameri can people ought never to abandon the Washington policy and the Mon roe. Doctrine without being perfectly certain that they earnestly wish to do so. "Very complete proof must be of fered of the superiority qf any. new system before we reject the policies of Washington and Monroe, which have ibeen In our foreign relations the Palladium of the Republic. With in the memory of those to whom I now speak the Monroe Doctrine stop ped the Incursions of England uron1 the territory of Venezuela and set tied the boundary question finally by arbitration. Under the, -Monroe Doctrine we arrested the attempt of Germany to take Venezuelan terri tory on another occasion. In these two Instances the doctrine was en forced by a democratic president and by a republican president, and they were supported In so doing by all the people of the United States without regard to party. I mention these cases merely to show that we are not cutting away dead limbs from the body politic, but that we are aban doning two cardinal principles of American government, which, until the presentation of this draft for the constitution of the league ot nations, were as vital as on the day when Washington addressed the people of the United States for the last time or when President Monroe announc ed his policy to the world. What has happened since November 11, 1918, to make them so suddenly valueless, to cause them to be regarded aa In jurious obstacles to be cast out upon the dust heaps of history? It seems to me that that Is a question which at least deserves our consideration before we take action upon it." SK LF-ST A ItTK It WANTKD There has lately been much said In speeches by prominent men and many columns printed in the daily press anent a 'building revival. - An Eastern writer argues that prices are not going to drop and urges those who have building to do to start at once, regardless of high wages. Another Eastern man, a pro fessor of a well known college, says all that is needed to start a revival of business, and especially a building boom, is for a few to start the pro cess and others will quickly fall Into line. f But there Is the sticker! Where Is the Arnold Wlnkelreld to lead the charge against the phalanx of de pression? It will take a brave man, for the reason that most people are of the opinion that prices are bound to drop and that wages will follow. Mr. Average Man will therefore make what Improvements are neces sary to'conduct his business and not speculate or make unnecessary In vestments until that day arrives. The statements of Pro. Blank to the contrary will have about as much ef fect on a revival of building as would the vicious kick of a well known ant In starting a stalled freight train. COMING EVENTS Apr. 14, Monday Col.

LEY ACHIEVING FAME BY DEAR H ENRY'STORl ES Hex l,ampiiiun, Oregonlun corre spondent In France, has the follow ing to say of Solh Iluiley, a Grants Pass soldier In Franco: "Sergeant Soth T. Bailey, who w born and grew up In the Applegato country ot Southern Oregon, and who left for camp as a member of the Dallas company, has achieved fame throughout the A. E. F. as the author of the "Dtur Henry" letters, published in the soldiers' newspaper, the Stars and 6tripea, of whose stuff ho Is a member. A collection of th letters is' shortly to be published by the Stars and Stripes lu Uiook form, with illustrations by Wallgren. the Stars and Stripes cartoonist. "Dour Honry," In which the Joys and sor rows of a doughboy's life aro amus ingly sot forth, should have an Im mense sale among the soldiers. Ser geant Bailey was a reporter on The Oregonlan for a time, and also work ed on the Observer at Dallas. He served on the Mexican border. At the time of America's entrance Into the war he was, I think, summoned from California, where he waa run ning a country paper, to Join his company at Dallas. Although de tached from regular duty for his work on the Stars and Stripes, his regiment belongs to the tint, or Sun set division, which Is expected to stall for America in June. The Stars and Stripes, it Is understood will pub lish Its last Issue some time about the first of June. Sergeant Bailey "covered" many of the battles of Inst August and September, when the Americans were driving the Helnles out of the positions they had held securely for four years. He Is en titled to wear two wound chevrons, one for being hit with "HE" which Is army talk for high explosive and the other for having received a dose of mustard gas." You must clean the stomach and bowels, purify the blood, each Spring or you leave Winter's germs, and Im purities In your blood and system. Drive them away, clean out the stom ach and bowels, take Holllster's Rocky Mountain Tea, a Spring cleanser-purifier. 3 Sc. Tea or Tab lets. Snbln's Drug Store. Adv.
