SENATORS STILL FIDDLING

The Indiana M. E. conference at Indianapolis last week passed the following resolution: The Indiana conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, in annual session at Indianapolis, hereby approves the principle of a league of nations, and It urges the senate to make a speedy settlement of the treaty of peace. We are eertaio that the American people are unequivocally In favor of eome league, that shall bind the nations together In support of peace and righteousness. We favor a league as a conscientious effort to substitute reason, co-operation and good will for suspicion, hatred and violence, • • • We confidently believe that our nation, animated by tby same Christian spirit of unselfishness and service that Jed us into the war, is willing now to assume its share of the responsibilities so as to insure the successful operation of a league of nations. The national advertising club's meeting in New Orleans a few days ago with enthusiastic unanimity took the same ground. The ninety ninth- annual Indiana meetIng of Fr len dsa tllic hri ton d, wh Ich adjourned Monday night, adopted resolutions strongly indorsing the league of nations. Hundreds of other bodies wntd other churches have spoken the same way. Hut still l,b« bitterly partisan Republican senators are dillydallying along, trying to Incite the country to acts of violence aodi causing continued unrest and ’an state. of business. The peace pact and league covenwnit whonld have been ratified months ago. iHome day, what happened in Omaha Munday night will happen ut the national capital and a few •‘patriots” of the class of obstructionists we >linve had In, our alleged national law-making body will grace the noose in the rope Instead of some negro rapist.
