Adoption of this reservation providing thnt American representatives in the League of Nations be chosen by con gressional notion marked the first break lu the solid Republican ranks which had stood firmly in favor of the so called Lodge reseravtion program.

"It was pointed out to the Mayor that most of these .peculators were from other cities, und came hero to the 'City of Homes,' where they found emplc opportunity to trade on the misery of the suffering people. "I have no sympathy for the pro fiteer," declured Major Moore, "whether he deals in houses or food. I am in sympathy with the tenants nnd will be glad to help them In any way possible. I think, however, th.it the real remedy lies with the Legiluturo Mr. Blez then suggested that the city build houses for the people at u rea sonable price by forming u building cor poration. , , ., Tin.

It was proud when it should be humble und humble when it should bo proud." As nn example of the wrong sort of pride, he referred to the boast ot some members that it wus tho church that brought about prohibition. "This boast is often made," said Doctor Bell, "but it is not true. Eco nomic reasons brought prohibition to America. "Business men found that prohibition paid. Until this was found the churches and the W. C. . U. had labored for many yenrs without miccpss."
