'ILSON’S WGBD3 CLEARBPDOUBT 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 rugged Nevada int< the land of 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. NOTICE. Tax Collectors 2nd Round. Cains’ Court Ground, Oct. 27, 12 p. m.
