FULL OF EVILS
Senator Sherman of Illinois Attacks
President and Proposed Construe
tlon of Leaaue of Nations Will
Empty Upon America the Aqqreaat
ed Calamities of the World.
WASHINGTON. Murch 3. The
constitution of the ioucuo of nations
as presented at the pence conferonee
was pictured to the senate todav by
Scnntor Sherman of Illinois, republi
can, as a, "Pandom's box full of
evils," ..which would "eniptv upon the
American peoplo the ncereeatcd cal
amities of the world." ' '
Senator Sherman sharply criticis
ed President Wilson, asking who au
thorized him to "rear above the re
public an autocratic power." lie
added that the president had been
noting either as "'a usurper or a dicta
tor." - v Compared Him to Caesar .
"Shall we not ask with the drama
tist." the scnntor said. " 'Now, in the
name of all the Gods at once, upon
what does this Caesar feed that he
has erown so ereatf"?
"He adroitlv maneuvers himself
into the spotlight as the fountain of
pence perpetual and the guardian of
mankind," Senator Sherman contin
' lied. "As he kept us out of war in
1916. so he will keep us out of im
pending war coniured no to serve the
issues of 1920 and keep us nt peace
forever if we but accept him nenin.
Like his neutrality device was the
prelude to unprepared war. his pence
leoeue eneaees not in one war. but in
all wars that seonree the earth. It is
simple but deadly. Apparently an
open eovennnt of peace, it is a mask
ed charter of unceasing war: the voice
of Mars, but the hand of Woodrow."
On the proposed constitution. Sen
ator Shorman said it would set up an
oligarchy of the worst possible sort,
adding: '
i . In Blood Torrent
" "If we cut tb cables of constitu
tional government here we are caught
in the irresistible tides that will sweep
us into the maelstroms of the old
world's blood currents. The feuds
nd spoliations of a thousand years
will become our daily chart of action.
All we know is that a few men in
some hidden chamber known as the
executive council wield over us pow
ers of life and death.
"The creation of a nameless thing
to sit in stSr chamber iudgraent and
decree implicit obedience to its man
dates cannot be borne by free men. Bv
in ukase it will embargo our com
merce, close our exchanges, destroy
credits, leave our merchandise rot
ting on piers, shut the Panama canal,
order congress to declare war. lew
taxes, appropriate money, raise nnd
; support armies and navies and dis
patch our men to any auartcr of the
globe to figbt and die because an alien
executive council has willed it.
Against an Vtopla
"Sincere men may have deceived
themselves in their great hope for
a perfect world, but no delusion, how
ever sincere, will excuse this senate
from its duty to interpose its power
against this universal Utopia promis
ed bv the president. It is the fabled
apple of a great hope which will turn
to ashes on a trusting people's lips.
.The senate never faced a greater task
nor a nobler duty. It will not ratify
an emotion nor translate an impos
sible idealism into a weapon of na
t'onal suicide."
Senator Sherman asserted that
against the wisdom and experience of
the American forefathers as summed
up in Washington's farewell address
there was now rising up "the dream
er and the bookman, the socialist, the
mere haberdasher in phrases which
intoxicate and mislead."
STiLL IN PROGRESS
The funds solicited for Armenian
relief fund are coming in rapidly now
, and while it is imposisble to give the
total amount todav it looks as if a
gratifying response has been made to
the appeal for this worthy cause. A
targe number of the districts were
delayed on account of the weather
conditions nnd for that reason the
drive will remain on during this eew to
enuble captains of teams to complete
their work. : All funds should be in
the hands of Mr. Delrov Gctchell
treasurer, Farmer's and Fruit Grow
er's bank, Medford, not later than
Saturday morning, March 8. Any
persons overlooked in the canvass
may leave their contribution at the
bank where it will be credited to the
fund. ' - . ;

proper method of restoring nil the

to effect such fresh allocations of la
bor and industry as the circumstances
may make necessary.
Most Fortunnto Nation
I think I can testify from what 1
have seen ou the other side of the
water, that we are more fortunate
than other nations in repect to these
grent problems. Our industries have
been disturbed and disorganized dis
organized as compared with a peace
basis, very seriously indeed bv the
war, and it seems to me, therefore,
that wo should approach these prob
lems that we are about to discuss with
a good deal of confidence with a
good deal of confidence that if we
have a common purpose we can real
ize that common purpose without se
rious or insurmountable difficulties.
"The thing that has impressed me
most, gentlemen, not only in the re
cent weeks when I have been in con
ference on the other side of the water,
but for many months before I went
across the water, was this: We are
at last learning that the business of
government is to take counsel for the
average man. We are at last learning
that the whole matter of the prosper
ity of peoples runs down into the
great body of the men and women who I
do the work of the world, and that the
process of guidance is not complete
by the mere success of great enter
prises it is completed only bv the
standard of the benefit that it con
fers upon those who in the obscure
ranks of life contribute to the suc
cess to those enterprises.
It T. Conlcy of Medford lost his
life bv drowning in the Tunnaw river
in Alaska, according to a letter re
ceived todav from Butte. Mont., from
James Howland. superintendent of
the Yukon Mining company.
Mr. I lowland states that on Feb
ruary 2Gth be received a telegram
troui Skaguav. Alaska, stating that a
party of engineers had been drowned
in the river, and that papers found
on Conlev showed he had a family
in Medford. " Mr. Howland asks that
the relatives be found if possible.
