WOMEN IN POLITICS

(By Mrs. Joseph B. KeaHng.) It seems to me that the way Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood characterized the Wilson league is about the best I have found, when he said: “The League of Nations is an American child bom while its parents were temporarily residing abroad. It got its first lessons from its foreign nurses, the English, the French, the Italians and the Japanese. Then its parents brought the childto America, but the Amaricans refused to admit it into the family until it could speak the language of the Declaration of Independence and the constitution of the United States.” As the campaign progresses it becomes obvious that the important issues are the League of Nations, economic and industrial conditions at home and the personal standing and character of the leading candidates. Our women voters ought to understand in a definite and specific manner these issues. The Republicans welcome an intelligent discussion of the League of Nations. Let us be specific. Let us see briefly what the league is and what the positions of the two parties are with reference to it. Mr. Wilson’s league consists of a council which is to have nine members, seven of which are to be Europeans, including one oriental nation, which body is the upper body of the league. The lower body is called the assembly, and the smaller nations have representation in it, but England gets six votes in the lower body to, one for any other country, including the United States. . < , Article X Troublesome. President Wilson states that the heart of the league covenant is found in Art. X. He has further stated that Art. 10 must be accepted without reservations. Since the great controversy between the President and the United States Senate has been waged around this article, I shall here quote the articlorin full: “The members of the league undertake and respect and preserve against external aggression, the territorial integrity apd existing political -independence of all members of the league. In any case of and such aggression or in any case of any threat Of danger of such aggression, the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.” You will here notice, according to Art. 10, that in all cases of aggression the council shall advise upon the means to be used “to bring about the fulfillment of this obligation.” The council referred to in Art. 10 is really the executive committee of the league. All matters which may be referred to the league for decision are first placed in the hands of the council. Any decision rendered by the council, if not - satisfactory to the interested nations, may be referred to the entire league for a final decision and the verdict of the league becomes binding upon the contesting parties. Nations whose interests are involved, dp not vote. . ~ The council will be composed of nine members representing nine different nations. According to. program as now outlined, the council will be composed of representatives of six empires or autocracies and three republics or democracies arranged as follows: Europe will have six votes; South America (Brazil) will have one vote- Japan one vote; and the United States of America one vote. Thus it can be seen that if the present arrangement stands, Europe will always have a majority vote in the council, and you can rest assured that on all matters of difference which may arise between the United States and Europe, the European nations will stand as a unit against the United States.

.Autocratic Votes Control. In all matters requiring a decision by the council, there will always be six autocratic votes against three democratic votes. The autocracies by a ratio of two to one. I can not bring myself to believe that the American people have forgotten bow, when we entered the war, Mr. Wilson declared we were fighting to make the world safe for democracy, and now that the «war is over, our-President is bending his influence to perpetuate autocracy throughout the world by insisting upon the adoption, without reservation, of the proposed league covenant. He may advocate a covenant favorable to the perpetuation of autocracy, but I prefer a better covenant—the constitution of the United States bf America. If Mr. Wilson’s statement that no action can be taken without a unanimous vote is true, the United States' will forever be placed in a false position before the world—that of a constant objector—a disbe held responsible for the continuance of every old-world conIt is true that the council’s de--1 * X Sum .4 11 ii ■ । ■■mt j~l ram iWIT.

t Jack Pickford, husband of Oliva Thomas, moving picture actress who died from poisoning Saturday, has fled Paris by aeroplane according to reports received by Universal News Service. The sudden departure of Pickford has added strength to the belief that the poipon was not self administered, and the suicide verdict will not doubt be repealed. Pickford left Paris by aeroplane for London, leaving no address. With his departure all the members of the party which proved fatal to the picture star faded hastily. from the scene. Now no one in Paris can be found who ever knew or heard of Pickford or Olive. Pickford’s sudden departure while his wife’s body remains in Paris has aroused comment, especially in view of the fact that the autopsy will be. held today.

DAUGHTER OF FORMER PASTOR DIES FROM INJURIES

Word has reached here of the death of Miss Ada Shepherd, of Lakeville, Ind., daughter of the Rev.- and Mrs. M. H. Shepherd, residents of this city about twenty years ago when the Rev. Shepherd was pastor of the First Christian church. - The death of Miss Shepherd was caused by injuries received in an automobile accident on September 1 as she was returning from a Sunday school picnic with her cousin and a friend. The young man who was driving the car was racing with another car and in attempting to pass a farm wagon, which was loaded with poles, collided with the vehicle, Miss Shepherd being thrown from the machine. She sustained internal injuries and lived but a short time. Burial was made at Lakeville two days later. Rev. Shepherd and family returned to Indiana only a few months ago after spending a number of years in California. At the present time he and his wife are teaching school, Rev. Shepherd also having three preaching appointments.

Members of the women’s executive committee and the women’s advisory committee brought enthusiastic reports of the work being done in their districts to the joint conference of men’s and women’s committees of the state organization, held in the Severin hotel last Wednesday. Plans for the remaining weeks of the campaign were discussed and arrangements were made for continuing the work so as to get the maximum number of Republican women registered.Oct. 4 will be the last registration day, and all Republican women who have not registered by that date will not be permitted to vote in the November election. > * Miss Dorothy Cunningham, director of the women’s bureau of the Republican state committee, spoke at a big meeting of Republican voters at Spencer, Owen county, Sept. 3.

NOT MANY CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS LEFT

Forty-one conscientious objector* are still being held in military prisons and disciplinary barrack* for their refusal to recognize and obey military authority, according to a bulletin issued by the American Civil Liberties union. Most of the sentence* these men are serving wil lexpire tin* year. Two sentences will expire in 1925 and one in 1923. A few will expire in 1921 and 1922. These objector* are remnant* of a total of 6,000 opt of 3,500,000 men called to the colors who refused to perform military service. The others accepted noncombatant service or went on farms, or with reconstruction units. Of those whose scruples prevented them from-rendering any service or obedience whatever, only fortyone remain, and these could obtain their liberty at any time, the union admits, if they would forego their scruples to the point of obeying the rules and regulation* and performing the duties required of other prisoners. * The union claims that America is the only country among those which recognized conscientious objection tp active participation in war, which has not long since released all men imprisoned for this reason. “These men,” says the union’s bulletin, referring to conscientious objectors still in military prison* in this country, “are being released slowly as their sentences expire oj by ‘special order* for reasons not explained by the war department, which has no consistent policy of dealing with conscientious objectors and never had any. All that can be said of the present policy is that the department will not release before expiration of full sentence men who refuse to work under military authority in prison. “There is no prospect for ‘general amnesty.’ Letters on specific cases addressed to the secretary of war may help in securing ‘special order*’ of release.* ; .
