S 12 A THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: JUNE l, isitj. COVENANT ONLY HOPE FOR PEACE, r TAFTASSERTS f x-President Says No Oppon ent Ever Explained ; How Peace Can Be Enforced Without League. "Blind people who are influenced by small party considerations, as to wbo is poing to get the credit, are among those who are opposing the league of nations," declared ex President Howard Taft, addressing B large company of representative Omaha women in the ballroom yes terday at the Hotel Fontenelle. The noonday function originally had been arranged in honor of Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, one of the dis tinguished representatives of the League to Enforce Feace, hut when he sent word that she would not be able to come to Omaha, Mr. Taft agreed to fill the vacanacy. Mrs. Morsman Presided. Mrs. E. M. Morsman, presiding, introduced the former president with a few words. Mr. Taft told the women, face tiously, that he believed he could have drawn a better league cove nant, but he was not invited to the peace conference. "If you think," he continued, "that the purposes and principles of the league are what they should be, then don't you think that we should take advantage of this great oppor tunity now offered to go on and or ganize the world into a Christian world, and to provide the means of settling differences of the world ac cording to the principles of Chris tianity?" Means Peace Postponement. He stated that he had not heard any opponent of the league of na tions explain how it would be pos sible to enforce the peace treaty without the league of nations be hind it. He also stated that if the senate takes adverse action it will mean the postponement of peace. He is not in favor of forcing the senate to adopt anything that is not satisfactory to the best inter ests of this country, but he urged that close scrutiny be given to all arguments against the league of na tions. Mr. Taft considered four articles of the league of nations covenant. Commenting on article 10, which re fers to external violence, he said: "This prevents our' power of con quest. Modern wars are so destruc tive of the world that we must find other means of progress than that of one-half of the world destroying the other half in order to live. This article is the answer to the Ger man statement, that 'Might is right.' It stands for what we fought for in this war to make the world safe for democracy, which means that when a democracy has been established, it may pursue its rights of happiness and peace without loading the people down with taxes to keep the robber nations from intruding. Will Not Involve Us. "I deny that this will involve us in war everywhere. The league, un der the proposed covenant, would take steps against a robber nation, by universal isolation' and would leave such a nation grand, gloomy and peculiar. Such a nation would he boycotted, and such a nation, facing this prospect, would be care ful not to break the covenant of the league. That article would have a restraining effect." Mr. Taft declared that the Monroe doctrine is only a limited definition of article 10 of the covenant of the league of nations; that this country has been able to maintain the Mon roe doctrine inviolate for more than 100 years without firing a single shot or becoming involved in a war. Fair Weather Promised for Nebraska This Week Washington, May 31.

ALLEGES DRUGS SOLD TO HUSBAND SUES FOR SI 0,000 Mrs. Hardy Files Suit Against Druggists for Alleged Sale of "Dope" and Liquor to Husband. Mrs. Bertha A. Hardy filed suit in district court yesterday for $10,000 damages against Ralph W. Madeson and Mrs. L. Elton Madeson, alleging that they sold "dope" and alcohol to her husband, Rufus L. Hardy, with the result that he has become an habitual drunkard. But little more than a year ago, the petition states, Mr. Hardy was a traveling salesman, earning $200 a month and living happily with his wife and young daughter. Since May 18, 1918, the Madesons, who operate a drug store at Twenty fourth and Bristol streets, have sold him large quantities of drugs, "dope" and alcohol in spite of the protests of Mrs. Hardy, she alleges. She says he has now become a con firmed dipsomaniac. On May 1 he was brought before the insanity board and was confined in the asylum for two weeks for treatment. The "dope" affected him so that at times he was entirely dead to the world, the petition alleges. He would stay out all night and neg lected his family and business,' it is alleged. His wife says he has not supported his family for six months, that the home and family are. wrecked and that it is impos sible to live with him. Cupid Invades Schools. Ottawa, Kan.

Government May Abandon Western Army Stations Washington, May 31. Renewal of the recommendation to congress that the old army stations and posts in the south and west, most of them relics of pioneer days, be abandoned, is understood to be planned by the War department. The department would utilize some for hospital or other government purposes and sell the remainder. Army officials say maintenance of these posts not only has been dis proportionately expensive, but has weakened the effort to organize an efficient army by scattering the va rious elements throughout the country. Booze Display Tempts Thieves; Drew Water Haul Boston, Mass. The display of filled whiskey bottles in the window in a store in Chelsea spuare proved very attractive to three thieves. Hurling a big sidewalk brick through a plate glass window, each man carried away two bottles. Instead of rye, bourbon or scotch the bottles were each filled with plain water. The loss of broken window was nearly $50- I1" ITS TRAVEL-SATISFACTION AND COMMON SENSE It is altogether remarkable that any automobile should become famous for econ omy and usability on the one hand and equally famous on the other as the easiest riding car on the road for the practical side of motoring seldom goes hand-in-hand with comfort and fineness. The Franklin Car gives unmatched econ ony, comfort and usability. They are all the result of a common cause the principles of air-cooling, Rght 'weight and flexibility. No other car combines these principles and, for this reason, Franklin records have stood un equalled for over 17 years. The Franklin Car keeps on going when most other cars must stop: It is air-cooled there is no water to boQ In summer or freeze in winter. It is simple 177 fewer parts incident to water cooling thus avoiding trouble. It b light, flexible. Rough roads do not stop k, or cause discomfort to its passengers. , It keeps on going over sand, mud, soft spots, without "digging in," It passes other cars on winding roads all four wheels cling to the road-bed, without slipping; there is no cause it slow down. Light in weight and flexible, the Franklin Car responds easily and quickly to the hand at the wheel. The driver, as well as the passengers, realizes the superiority of Franklin readability at the end of a day's motoring whether the distance be 200 miles or 400. The owner of the Franklin Car realizes another difference between if and other fine cars, and that is the remarkable Franklin economy: 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline 10,000 miles to the set of tires- 50 fo slower yearly depreciation, I Get a test of Franklin comfort ease of handling, all-around usability on a poor road in this vicinity with rough stretches, sandy spots and mud.
