Records are records the world
over, but the record claimed by El
mer C. Weaver for his family is
probably the most unique in the
books. Mr. Weaver's family lays
claim to all records of attendance at
Sunday school. He himself boasts
of not having missed a session in 23
years. His two daughters, Mrs.
Henry Kern and Mrs. L. 'C. Balliet,
have attended 17 and 13 years, re
spectively, without a miss. A son,
Earl, has dropped pennies in the
Sunday school basket every Sunday
for tho past 14 years. The Weavers

covenant of the league of nations
trying to throw us into a multitude
of little wars in which we had no
concern. The people have not for
gotten his slogans, of . hypocrisy.
Governor Cox iav only a spokes
man for the Wilson ideas. In spite
of proclaiming himself a free man,
since he paid a visit to the
White House, he has not been his
own man, but only a spokesman for
Mr. Wilson."
'U. He First Planned League.
"When Colonel R'ooscvelt received
the Nobel peace prize, 10 years ago,
he said that he .was hopeful of the
ns& of some association between na
tions that might prevent conflict,"
she said. "When the first news of
the world war in 1914 reached
America, he was in my country
home at Herkiner, N. Y. He spoke
to me then of the possibility of a
league of nations, and planned a
scries of articles outlining- a plan for
world peace. Frankly, I have won
dered why President Wilson never
recognized the ideas, instead of as
suming so many of them himself.
"When he showed me the first
article, I asked him if he did not con
sider the plan very iceal, but im
practical. He replied that he was
doubtful himself, and was terribly
afraid that it might prove unwork
able. He realized that it was im
possible to have such an' association
unless each nation should reserve
its own sovereignty. He still hoped
tor some way for nations to join
together to make waf s less possible.
"I can see his face now rs he said
to me one day, 'I am giving it up. I
do not see how we can keep Amer
ica absolutely safeguarded and enter
any league with the world.'
Talks with Lodge.
" "By the time Mr. Wilson got ,to
the subject my brother recognized
the impossibility of any international
league. Finally, as he lay on his
sick bed in December, 1918, he asked
that we telegraph Cabot Lodge to
come for a conference. The follow
ing day Mr. Lodge sat and talked of
the league of nations for three hours.
Each tentative plank of the presi
dent was taken up in turn, in my
presence. .Practically every reserva
tion afterward brought up by Sena
tor Lodge was approved there by
Colonel Roosevelt. While he said
he hoped, by the republican reserva
tions, to make the league a good
thing, he very much doubted if even
with the reservations it might not
be a war breeder instead of a pre
ventative of war.
"The next day he and Mr. Lodge
again went Over the proposals; and
Colonel Roosevelt absolutely dis
approved of the league unless safe
guarded by the reservations. When
Governor Cox speaks of his approval
I wish it to be understood that what
he had in mind was not the Wil
sonian document."

(Special.) Mrs. Marie Paulson

Cripple Creek Theater '
Burns at Loss of $100,0000
Cripple Creek, Colo., Sept. 28.
The Victor opera house, the largest
structure in the Cripple Creek dis
trict, was destroyed by fire today.
The building wsts valued at $100,000.
No one was in the building at the
time and the origin of the fire is
a mystery, '
Dr. Samuel M. Crothers of Cam
bridge, Mass., hailed as one of the
most celebrated authors of this age,
who is here to take an active part in
the1 43d annual conference of the
Unitarian church, deviated from the
program of the conference yesterday
afternoon, by accepting an invita
tion from Superintendent of Schools
Beveridge to address a gathering of
Omaha high . school and grade
school teachers.
A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Dr. Crothers in the assembly
room of the Central High school.
After paying a glowing tribute to
the ahthor and welcoming him to
Omaha on behalf of the educational
buyau, Mr. Beveridge urged upon
tha audience of teachers the neces
sity of putting into practice what
the distinguished speaker would say.
Love Your Enemies.
"Your Enemies and How to Love
Them," was the subject of Dr.
Crother's discourse, setting forth in
fitting language the variance of at
titudes that exist in one class of
people toward another.
"Why is it,'" Dr. Crothers asked,
"that there is such an antagonistic
attitude taken by successful busi
ness men 'toward college profes
sors. ,The college professor is look
ed upon by the ordinary business
man as one to be despised. Why
should he be supposed to take an
unrealistic view of any subject just
because he knows enough to teach
it to others?"
Room for Everybody.
Referring to the professors of ag
riculture he brought out the com
parison: "As the dirt farmer feels
toward the professor of agriculture,
so does the banker feel toward the
professor, of political economy."
The course of true love between
the president and the senate never
did run smooth, declared Dr. Cru
thers in his reference to the ani
mosity that at all times exists be
tween "advisor and advisee."
i Concluding, Dr. Crothers made
the remark that there is room in
the world for all kinds of people,
of different color, taste,s, habits and
ambitions, and what a happier world
it would be if they would alt adopt
the motto: "Live and let live."
U. S. Opposed to Plan
of Packers' Dissolution
Washington, Sept. 28. Objections
to the entire plan suggested by the
"big five" Chicago meat packers for
disposition of their stock yards in
terests were filed by the Department
of Justiofe today in the District of
Columbia supreme rourt.
To sanction th proposal of the
packers to dispose of their stock
yard interests to a holding company
to be formed by F. H. Prince and
company of Boston, would mean
sanctioning of a violation of the
Sherman and other anti-trust laws,
Attorney General Palmer declared
in a formal statement.
