CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER ITS
LEADER, JOHNSON, AND
RALLIES TO LEAGUE.
WEST GIVES HIM OVATION
All Doubtful Features of Pact Are
Explained Away By President, and
Former Doubters Hasten to Give
Him Their Support.
(By Independent Ne*Hure.iu, form*
*rly Mt New* Bureau.)
Aboard President Wilsons Special
Train A continaous ovation along tho
Pacific coast and tlien on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward tho end of his month daylong
speaking tour in behalf of the League
of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild in its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy of the League, and it was
In that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram John on. California's former
governor, now h* r United States sena
tor, and considered by h r as the most
likely Republican candidate for tho
pro idency in 1020. had before the ar
rival of President Wilson, convinced
a great number cf citizens that the
League a- at present formulated was
not a good thing. He had told them
that the United Sta • . beeaus< of it,
would be drawn into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
■would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. If- had
blamed the pr ‘.-Ident for assenting to
the possession by Japan of the Penin
sula of Shan Tung i'l China.
EUREAU CHANGES NAME
The Mount LUmcns Ne\
Bureau, which has >■ -n furnishlmt
report: on President Wilson’s tour
in behalf of the League of Nation,
to 5,50 • p ip -rs, has adopt sl anew
name ; nd will hereafter be known
as The .: ! pend, r.t News Bureau.
But Mr. Wilson, with cl ar logic and j
with comp Bing eloqueme. answered
to the entire satisfaction of Califor
nia's people every objection which
Senator Johnson had made to the
League. And thousands of the state's
citizens deserted tlie Johnson stand
ard immediately and rallied to the sup
port of the president More than that,
they came forward and said, "W e
were against you. Mr. President, but
you have cleared everything up and
now we are with you heart and sotd.
Still more than that, they let Senator
Johnson know that they were no
longer with him and that they disap
proved of the speaking tour which he
himself was making in opposition to
the League and so powerful was the
volume of public opinion which reach
ed him, that the senator almost Im
mediately abandoned his tour. The
iShan Tung question, because of the
anti Japanese feeling which undoubted
ly exists along the Pacific coast was
the most serious which the president
had to answer. He explained to the
people that K' had been powerless to
prevent the rich peninsula from being
given to Japan. England and France,
through a secret treaty, had promised
it to Japan fur entering the war and
remaining in it. That treaty had to
lie carried out. Anyway it was not
China that was losing Shan Tung, but
Germany, which had s. ized the terri
tory from China in 1898 and held it;
over since Japan had promised, the!
pjvddeM explained, to return Shan
Tung a soon as the peace treaty was
ratified and It was only through the
ratification of the treat* with the
l.i ayue of Nations inclusion, that
China could ever expect to get her
former property back. And she surely
would g i it back, ho declared, through
the ratification of the League. There
fore, through the same instrumentality
no t ile r nation could again prey upon
the "Great, patient, diligent, but h ’w
less kingdom." As t > our being draw t 1
into any Kuropean conflict. The pi 1 ■
ident pointed out that no direct actio -.
such as the sending of troops to a:./
part of the world to maintain or :s
--store order could be • taken by tha
Council of the League without ti unani
mous vote of the council memb-r ,
therefore our vote could nt once nega
tive any such proposition as sending;
mir soldiers where we did not want
them sent. Besides, Mr. Wilson argued,
“If you have to quench a fire in Cali-
fornia you don’t send for the fire da
partm nt of Utah.” But, he argued,
there probably never will be another
war, if the League is established, for
the in- mb- is promise either to arbi
trate ihi r difference and accept the
decision of the arbitrator, lay the dif
ferences for discussion and publica
tion before the Council of the League
for a period of six months, and then,
if possible. arc'pt tin* council's advice.
That failing, they agree to refrain from
war for a further period of three
months and nine months of "cooling
off,” the president contended, would
prevent any armed c nfltct. These clear
explanations sati-t ■ and every reasonable
Nearer and destroyed the “Bugaboos”
which Senator John m and others had
raised against tin I "ague. Through

Mormons, the presi "nt *w< pt to And
that, those fine peoi were heartily
■with him for the lit- gue and a per
ntaneucy of peace.
THE ANGEL OF THE COUN
TRYSIDE.
The slogan. “Hack to the farm”
is more tlum a eateh phrase. It
has underlying it, a principle
which is the very backbone of this
republic. The farm is the heart of
the nation, and it may be said that
the roads that lead from the farm
to the city are its veins.
The threat tractors, and thresh
ing machines and other farm im
plements which do the work of
many men, are making life easier
and pleasanter, and more profita
ble. on the farms of the nation.
And the automobile lias helped
tremendously, not only in aiding
the farmer in bis actual work, but
to bring the rural districts and the
city closer together.
Hut there is something else that
is helping, particularly in the
south. There is a quiet young wo
man who goes about from town to
town and community to commun
ity. in the rural districts, and
keeps ti e hoys and girls interest
ed. She is the home demonstration
agent, who ini crests the children
in Ihe canning clubs and poultry
clubs, and in home economies.
She teaches the gill, far from
the city, to utilize the things at
| hand to make the home more com
fortable, and to st t the table more
palatably and more economically,
he teaches food values, and ili
st iy, and arouses resoureeful
e -.S
The fireless cooker and the-ice
less refrigerator are among her
| assets, and she infuses anew spirit
into the home, through these home
'made articles, and others no less
useful.
It is till very well to talk al>out
the boys and vims remaining >n
t lie farms. But if ti e children tire
to l<c kept on the farm they must
he riven .somethin'.; to stay for.
A story was recently published;
>
left the farm to g<> to the city to
-work. He said he was tired of
raising vegetables and pigs and
cows for his father. He wanted
somethin'; for his own.
That is a normal visit. Every
hoy and girl on the farm should
have something they feel is their
own And that is the important
part that the canning and poul
try and corn clubs play in the
| lives of these hoys and girls. They
ineulate a spirit of independence,
and stimulate ambition, and thus
.create better citizens.- Selected.

‘‘ln making 1 lie race for Solici

not my intention to again be a

menced the duties of the office the
legislature saw fit, as it had the
right to do. to place t lie office to
which I had been elected on a sal
ary at not more than half it was
paying when I was elected. Iy the
act of the legislature T was de
