AKER AGAINST
COURT MARTIAL SYSTEM CHANGE
Cannot be Judged .by Civil Code Says Report Approved by War Department.
Landrith Touches Every Big
Question of Day in Address
i ;v rrj f' f , , , Although he said that he -was a i Southerner, a Presbyterian and a Democrat, Ira Landrith, the principal speaker at the Chautauqua Sunday afternoon, explained that the South was now glad the north came down to see them in '61; that he thought no man had a right to abuse another because he doesn't believe in his church, and that when his political party goes wrong he leaves it until it gets right again. "We never could have licked the kaiser if we had not had a united North and South and United States, and you can never build a great government on sectarian beliefs. The reason I belong to the Presbyterian church is not because I think it is the best church but because I think It Is the best church for me," said Landrith. "I do not belong to the Democratic party. I am just a member of it, but I'm a Democrat; and I know that the Republicans are Just as rotten as the Democrats are indecent. You are a moral acrobat if you can be a straight man and a straight partisan. You can't pray all year ana then go to the ballot box and vote for a crooked man and go Btraight yourself," said the speaker. League No Partisan Matter. "There are some questions too big for partisanship," said Landrith. "The Xeague of Nations is one of these
I things. I had no respect for Wood-
row Wilson when after the war was over, he asked the people to return a Democratic congress, and just to show him, I vote Republican, but neither do I believe that a man's faults should be made to outshadow all the excellent things he has done. "I am glad I have been living in this past year when we licked the Kaiser, got rid of John Barleycorn and started a League of Nations. And about the death and extinction of the liquor traffic, I say that anybody who goes contrary to the national prohibi
tion amendment is an anarchist, be-!

Washington, Aug. 25. In approving the report submitted to him by Maj. Gen. Francis J. Kernan, head of
the special war department board on
courts martial and their procedure,
faecretary Baker today took the official
Ftand that the present system should not be changed except in minor de
tails. Inferentially the secretary up
held Gen. Kernan s view that "courtsmartial have always been agencies for
creating and maintaining the discipline
of armies" rather than agencies for
the "nice exemplification of technical
rules of law." '
The War Department board's report
reflected the opinion of 225 officers who ' were circularized. More than
half of these gave hearty approval to
the present system, forty-three con
demned it as basically wrong and the
remainder, a total of sixty-seven, point
ed out special weakness which they
thought should be remedied. Tempor
ary officers were about equally divided
for and against any changes. Most Serious Defect.
The most serious defect In the existing system, the report asserts, arises from the "lack of competent trial Judge advocates and counsel," and as a remedy it is recommended that defense counsel be appointed for each general and special court martial, and that special Inducements be offered young officers to study law in order that they may be fitted for these and other special duties. "It is noticeable," he report said, "that officers who served with fighting units are as a class favorable to the Dresent articles: on the other hand.
officers whose duties kept them re- cause me amendment is now a part or
ed them to keep up their spirits 'why did that make It necessary for the fellows in the camps back In America
to have to have them? I tell you men
when you want to smoke get an old
fashioned pipe, and don't blow the smoke through your nose unless there
isn't anything above your nose. "I began smoking when I was four years old and I stopped smoking when I wa3 four years and four minutes old, and if I was a young man 21 years old and had never started smoking I never would. If I had started smoking and could ndt stop, tt I knew it would kill me if I did stop; I'd stop." The speaker said he would like for once to be a woman and a member of the'W. C. T. U., so that he might feel the exhileratlon of success which must course through their, veins in the Joy of victory. "The North killed the slave traffic in 1861, and we added the killing blows to the liquor slave traffic in 1918," said the speaker.

the national constitution and any one
going contrary to the American constitution is not an American citizen, but is guilty of anarchy. "I hate racial prejudice, 'A man's a man for a' that,' and not his color, his place of birth, his religion can get away from it. Whether we have hanging in Tennessee or a riot in Chicago, I'm opposed to it," he said. "I think the most craven thing, the most un-American thing is our universal hatred of everything German. If there is an American here who was born in Germany, and who stood a great and Btrong American back of our principles and helped us win, here I take off my hat to him," said Landrith, and explained that he thought the amalgamation of bloods which we have in America is going to prove us to be the most remarkable nation on the face of the earth, eventually." Cigarettes Denounced The biggest blunder of the war was made when the American Red Cross took cigarettes into the camps, Mr. Landrith said. "If the fellows in the trenches need-
As the vaudeville descriptions says, the Lillian Johnson company did a little singing, a little talking, and quite a good deal of smiling. They wore bright colored and eyeful dresses and apparently had a glorious time out of their appearance at the chautauqua Saturday afternoon and evening. Miss Johnson herself has stepped before the bright lights of the vaudeville stage, it is said, and shows adapability to chautauqua work. A number of very taking songs were given by the trio, which consisted of Miss Johnson mezzo soprano, Miss Ellen Hill, soprano, and Miss Mildred Chadwick, contralto. Zithers and an Irish harp added to the uniqueness of their program.

Pitt Parker Entertains
With Chalk and Tongue
"The only difference between a car
toonlst and a speaker is that the im
pressions or ideas of one are conveyed
by drawing and those of the other by words," said Pitt Parker. His appearance Saturday night was a great
success.
Perhaps his most popular cartoon
drawing was the present status of in
ternational events as an aftermath of
the great world war. The audience
greeted this well known type of car
toon with a howl of delight.
The cartoon Parker call H. C. L. was also a success. The well known
typical profiteer stood pulling up through ropes of his own the eatables for which the diminutive consumer down below was reaching vainly. Parker drew a view of Mt. Vesuvious and the bay of Naples, which he said he had never seen. Another popular view was that of Plymouth.
Charles "W. Comer. 69 years old, died Saturday afternoon at his home, 110 North Fourth Street, from complications of diseases. He was born in this city, February 22, 1850, and has lived here all his life.
For a great many years he has been
watchman at tlnjC. & O. crossing near the Doran bridge, and was known to the hundreds of persons passed that
way. He also came from a pioneer
family, the old homestead being known
as Comer Springs, now the site of the
Pumping Station of the Richmond
Water Works. He was a member of
the Grace M. E. Church.
He is survived by his widow, Han
nah, three brothers, Frank and John,
of this city, and Edward, of Detroit, Michigan, and one sister, Mrs. Mattie
Titus, of Dayton, Ohio.
The funeral will be held from his
home, Tuesday, August 26, at 2 p. m.,

Pete Bohmann will play the invitation to the dance" as a zither solo, and if the weather is favorable the famous echo song will be given by Mrs. Feichtl and Miss Feichtl. Owing to
the inclement weather Sunday evening they were unable to give the song which necessitates one of the singers going out in the open some distance from the stage.

south of Arba. About 75 persons at

"There's one thing about Dickinson's store that I like," said a customer the other day. "If you see something that they advertise and buy it, you'll find that it always comes. up to expectations." Of course, it does. The store holds its special place in the community because of its reliable methods. In buying jewelry, confidence is the thing to be considered. It amounts to big money, and the possibilities of imitation are greater in jewelry than in any other line. BUY DIAMONDS NOW FOR INVESTMENT Leading New York importers who have just returned from an extended European trip, where they spent months at the world's leading; diamond markets, report a great scarcity of good diamonds and increases of from 25 to 75 per cent in prices. Our advice is to buy ntw while we can still sell you from our old stock, as it is now predicted by leading diamond experts that the prices on diamonds will go to $1,000 a carat within two years.
