JOHNSON IS HIDING IN A SMOKE SCREEN, HOOVER STATEMENT

NEW YORK. May 10. Herbert

Hoover has issued the following statement in response to Senator Johnson's statement answering his query In regard to the senator's stand on the league of nations covenant: "Senator Johnson has not answered my questions. Instead he has emitted a smoke screen of personal abuse and quotations which he attributed to me. As a matter of fact, these quotations, have come from someone els. I have never made or approved any of them. Perhaps the senator wiil correct this mlsimpression. The senator apparently does not wish to say yes' or 'no' as to whether the 'English league,' as he calls it, is the covenant with the Lodge reservations. Does the senator wish to leave an imputation on the patriotism of the majority of the Republican senators or myself Not a Trivial Thing ' "The league is not, however, a matter of trivial personalities. It is an iasue upon which there hangs the moral and economic well-being of the whole world, from which the United States, even if we would, can not be separated. "The senator asks the American, people . to make him president. He states that he 'has consistently opposed the pact as presented with the reservations attached,' and that he "would welcome any real attempt to promote peace,' and that 'he has never opposed a league to prevent war and reduce armament.' Will the senator change this expression from "I have never opposed a league' to 'I will support a league for this purfcpose,' and will he state what the condition of that league is to be, and where it will differ from the league with the reservations as agreed to by the majority of the senate? "The presidency is an office of constructive leadership. The affairs of the nation can not be conducted by destructive criticism without alternative proposals. The "voters have a right to know what the senator's constructive alternatives are before pledging their votes. World Drifting Badly "The world is drifting further and further into increasing antagonisms. Increasing armament. We are faced with crushing taxation for increased military establishment. Our economic relations with the world are becoming more demoralized because of th.; delay in settlement of these questions. This demoralization is already manifesting itself in the prices of raw materials from our farms and will soon manifest itself in the employment of our workers." "Is the senator prepared to give us a constructive solution of these problems? If so, what?"

SENATORS FUSS ON CAMPAIGN FUNDS (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, D. C-. May 10. Campaign expenditures were the subject of a lively tilt in the senate today between Republicans and Democrats.

Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, referred to stories published here that the Republicans were planning to raise $10,000,000, with T. Coleman DuPont in charge of securing contributions. Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, denounced the report as without foundation. The Democratic party, he said, was in better position to raise funds, but he had no idea that either party would attempt to raise as much as $10,000,000, which he considered excessive. As between the Republican and Democratic millionaires, Senator Smoot declared that the latter could raise more money. Senator Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, declared $10,000,000 "chicken feed these days," and urged his plan to tax campaign contributions of more than $1,000.

WARD PICTURES THE WORKING OF GREAT METHODIST MEETING Another very Interesting letter has been received from O. F . Ward, Methodist layman elected to attend the Methodist General Conference, which is being held in Des Moines, Iowa, this month. -Mr. Ward is the only delegate to the conference from this city, and his accounts of the work of the conference are both interesting and educational. The letter is dated May 8. It follows: Editor Palladium: At the end o a week, one may get somewhat of an idea as to what the General Conference of the M. E. church will have presented to it for adjudication. The fact that the 837 delegates come from the four corners of the earth and are in touch with all phases of world

conditions, is sufficient reason for any organization which has some propaganda it wishes to bring before the world, to come before the general conference through some devotee and petition for acceptance of whatever form of memorial is in mind. Everybody Asks Resolution. To show the ramifications of this idea I shall mention a few of the petitions which have been presented this week: A petition to the legislature of Delaware to vote for women suffrage; one to congress advising increase in salaries to all postal clerks; a memorial to all boards of education recommending an increase in the salaries of all teachers from the grades to college professors; a telegram of congratulation to Governor Coolidge of. Massachusetts for vetoing the 2 pet cent, beer bill; a condemnation c Governor Phillips of Wisconsin for asserting that prohibition is responsible for all the Industrial evils now on

us; a petition to congress to not Interfere in the domestic policy of Great Britain in the Irish home rule bill; a declaration against race track gambling and the use of the mails for promoting this venture; a pronouncement against the bill legalizing prize-fighting, now pending in congress; a motion in favor of prohibition in India as the Indian delegates made the assertion that as India now has Home Rule, the Hindu and Mohammedan governors are working in harmony for prohibition; then came the request that all state legislatures and congress use every effort to enact anti-cigarette laws. The report of the joint Centenary Commission shows that the M. E. church, which proposed to raise $105.000,000 actually secured $113,000,000 and that the M. E. church, South, secured at the same time $53,000,000, .making a grand total of $166,500,000

for home and foreign missions.

Missions Now Assured The mission fields of Europe, China, Korea, India and Latin America are now assured of a definite sum each year for carrying on their work. The prediction was made that in less than ten years the M. E. church will be giving $100,000,000 a year to missions. An address to President Wilson urging the resubmission of the peace treaty to the senate, caused a majority and minority report from the committee to which it was referred. It was moved from the floor that a substitute for both reports be adopted, but th whole matter was deferred until next week. The difference was a matter of verbiage. The matter of giving India a separate general superintendency is re

ceiving much support as they now I have 357,000 Methodist converts and

could baptize 1,000 a week.

WON'T MEET FOR TIME Harold Mueller, president of the newly formed Purdue association of Wayne county, said Mondav that an-

other meeting of the organization

would probably not be called for a month.
