Wfcat doee that article mean? Hera la a aoelma obligation by which the aaeafcers themselves make an Indt vldual engageaftat to go to the as- alttaaoe of every member of the legaue Ib case of external aggression. They also agree to respect and pre serve the territorial, Integrity of ex- istlng political Independence, what doe that mean? I am sot here to begrudge Eng land what she hs secured In this treaty. I admire her atateman ship that fought for what they con sidered wore England's rights. I ad mire the part that England hat played In the war. I would also llko to be In the position to euloglxo somo American statemaa who was over there and fought a good fight for American rights and American In teres. What doe England get out of the treaty. She gets a territory more than 1-3 the site of the United. States; IS times" the site of Oregon"; a territory larger than all the west ers states with the addition of Kan sas, Oklahoma aad Texas; and un der hta treaty, aader article 10, we are compelled to go to her assist aace la case any other country en i gages la warfare with her, disres pecting her Independence or commit ting aa act of agression. And aa I aald before, we would have to go to the assistance of Ja pan, Ib case China endeavored to wrest hack her territory. Therefore, the senate of the United States reserves the light In the Con gress of the United States, not In one man alone, to aty whether or not our 'armlet and our navies shall be sent abroad to protect the terri torial Integrity of any member of the league of aatloaa la case of war. President Wilson saya this article, article 10, It the very heart of the league of nations, and we are told that although the positive lang uage of this article is that we are to respect and preserve the territor ial Integrity of the members of the league, still there Is not a binding legal obligation to do so, because the power of declaring war rests In con gress. Ton cannot mako 'a treaty that is binding on our congress. The congress of the United Statea may Ignore-every treaty that has ever been entered Into, but they are not going to do that. To do so would be to dishonor our nation, to vio late our obligation. If 'we enter Into any treaty, wo are going to fulfill the obligations Imposed upon us In that treaty. President Wilson says that only a moral obligation Is Imposed In this article 10. A moral obligation Is, of course, he saya superior to any legal obligation, and I may say, has greater binding force there also remains the, right to exercise Judg ment at to whether the treaty blnda ut to do that thing. Senator Knox cited a specific vio lation of article 10, and asked Pres ident Wilson what would be our le gal obligation, whether we would be bound to participate In the event of war. "No air." replied the presi dent, "but we would be under a com pelling moral obligation superior to legal obligation." And that com pelling obligation could be imposed upon ns by the vote of ono man, our representative In the league of na tions. Bo we have the reeervatlon which I have stated, thst the armies and navies of the United Statea. your I ) I The Attention LADIES w ONDER ASHER THE WONDER WASHER lives up to its name all the time. It will wash a tub full of clothes with a minimum of effort in three minutes. THE WONDER WASHER will wash lace curtains in a few seconds without the slightest injury, or without the necessity of placing the curtains in a sack. THE WONDER WASHER will wash comforts, blankets, sheets, table clothes any fabrics that can be washed in any machine and do it in less than half the time. The washing will be clean and all effort is reduced to a minimum. THE WONDER WASHER will save any housewife money, for with this machine it is not necessary to use lye or washing compounds. Consider this saving alone and the longer life the WONDER WASHER means to even very delicate linens am laces the machine soon pays for itself. NO NEED TO BOIL CLOTHES WHEN THE WONDER WASHER IS USED By following the simple directions included with all WONDER WASHERS, any housewife will find X that clothes are washed clean and thoroughly with- m 'i i Al a, 1 a1 M l uiu uuuuig, wiinuui. weakening uie launu in any way. The compactness and neat appearance of the WONDER WASHER is a source of delight to the housewife who cares'. No flywheel to lift, no gears to oil and when not in use, .the tub and stool can be nested together, placed under a table, hung up on the wall or stored away. It holds 16 gallons of water, weighs 28 pounds, any child can carry it around, or do the washing, it is a WONDER. We will be pleased to have you call and let us show you how it is constructed, materials used, and many other good points. We also have the WONDER operated by elec ; 'tricity and gasoline engine, should you so desire. I Evans, Balin & Lucas jj boys, should not be tent to war un til tho representatives that you elected, your senators and repre sentatives, determined that war wat necessary. There are today some 19 or IS wars being waked Ib. Europe; and the league1 of nations bow haa 19 member. . Earl dray says that the league of nations It Ineffective bocaute the po tent voice ,of tho United SUtea ir mjaslag. I say, not the potent voice of the United States but the Amer Icaa moneys aad the boys, your children, are misting from the European warfare. v It would be aa eaay matter to teat out thla league of nations, and the sentiment throughout the country In regard to It. If this toaguo of na tions were in operation our boys would bo over In Russia, and over In Poland, trying to settle their af fairs. Dut the president can have a real tost. Let him call congress together, and let htm ask congress tor troops to send over to Poland. What would be your response? That would be one scheme for putting the league of nations In operation. You would hoar a roar of protest and objections that would shake tho very pillars of tho country. Every member of congress would havo from a hundred to a thousand telegram of protest against sending our boyt to Europe, to foreign lands. Thord Is another reason why tho senate put In this reservation that tho army and navy of tho United States could only set In motion by act of congress. That reason la this; Thr mem bers of the leaguo of nations under take to respect and preserve against external aggression, etc. It Is not now necesatry for a declaration, which only congress caa make, to tet Ib motion our armlet aad navies. Who tet them Ib motion In Mexico? Who teat the navy to Vera Crut? At commander In chief of the army and nevy o fthe United States, by virtue of this treaty which would become the supreme law of the land, the president would havo tho right to send our armies and our navy to Europe, and In Its reservation the senate of the United States has en deavored to curb and to control that right. In reservation 4, the United States reserves tho right to Itsolf exclusive ly to decide what questions nro with in Its domestic Jurisdiction. What does that mean? There Is n provision In tho leaguo of nations which pro vides, that In caso of dispute If It Is found by the council that the question arises out of a matter which Is by International law solely with- Reduction in Price OF Hudson and Essex Automobiles t $200.00 Each Acme Motor Co. 400-416 SOUTH' SIXTH STREET (Continued on Page Three) JL.

But it wasn't until the automobile reached its present state of develop ment that te old barriers against travel were finally broken down. More people own auto mobiles today than ever thought of owning a horse and buggy in the old days. That's because the cost of motoring has been brought within reach cf the average .citizen's pockctbook. We look upon it as part of our job to keep it there. If it weren't for the trade of the man 'with the medium priced car there wouldn't be much in this tire business for us. Ill The less a man has to spend on motoring, the more important it is that his tires should be of first quality. Any tire is not1 good enough for the small car owner. He wants a tire that will give him just1 as much for his money in the small size as the big car man gets for his money in the large size. IV In thinking over what kind of tires' we would represent in this community we tried to put ouraelvea in the place of the car owner. And we believe we hit it exactly when we selected U. S.
