COAL! COAL! COAL! THAT’S WHAT WE WANT, DON’T YOU?

This is not a party issue at home with the Rensselaer people.** It has become necessary as citizens of Rensselaer to put our shoulders to the wheel, and do something that will bring results. And as the City Council were selected by you as citizens of Rensselaer, why then hesitate to appeal to them for help ■ *s they would be in a position to ! put it up to the coal companies in such a way, and by getting it in such large quantities that the companies would be glad for the. city’s business. There could be a system adopted, which would be perfectly right and lawful, no doubt. This is not a time, to' be technical with the law, but winter is facing us and it is time for discovering some means of procuring our coal at the right pripe. This is no time for people to carry out grudges and get even with one another, but it is time that we all work for one aim and it would seem that anyone with good reason would say if there is a better way than my. way, go to [t. On Monday the Council will meet and the petition will be presented to them which now has nearly 400 signers,, who are men voters of the city, and’ won’t you* make it your duty to be present when the petition is presented, and hear the news .which we hope wilr be gratifying and will again bring joy, peace and comfort to our homes, and that we will continue to think as we always -have, that we have one of the best cities in the land, and citizens who are united with one purpose, and one aim in unity in time of need and trouble?

WILSON LEAGUE OF NATIONS

PUBLISHED IN FULL IN THIS ISSUE fOF THE EVENING REPUBLICAN. Will H. Hays, Republican national chairman, anxious that the people of.this nation shall be fully informed as to the contents of the Wilson League of Nations, has urged the wide disseminating of the text. The Evening Republican presents to its readers in this issue the full । text of the Wilson League and some I of the Lodge reservations. The following statements from Chairman Hays and George H. j White, chairman of the Democratic ■ national committee in reference to. the publication of the Wilson League text are here quoted: Statement From Hay*. “To acquaint the voters of the country with the truth about the Wilson league of nations 'has been l the earnest effort of the republican organization ever 'since the administration took over the cables, which kept the country from knowing anything about the development of the covenant. We will of course, be glad to do anything further possible with you or separately as we are doing to that end. May I further suggest, likewise in the interest of truth, that we make an effort in some way to ascertain and advise the country just what the president promised Europe that this country would do, which may not be in the text of the covenant. Won’t you find out just what this was, and let us give that to tlje country also? Governor Cox has promised to make good these pledges whatever they may be. , Senate Reservation*. “Further, and likewise in the interest of truth, I trust you will help acquaint the country with the substance of the senate reservations voted for by over 23 democrats. It seems that these reservations have not been published in the. democratic text book. “We have published a pamphlet of 64 pages devoted exclusively to the league of nations, but will be glad to join with you, if you desire not only in urging the newspapers to publish the text of the covenant and the senate reservations but in issuing a pamphlet by the two-com-mittees including both the text of the- covenant and - the text of the senate reservations.” Statement From White. “Definitely, utterly, Senator Harding has rejected the league of nations and the whole idea and aspiration that gave it birth. In words that cannot be misunderstood or retracted he has announced that the United States, if he is elected, shall not join in a world contract to prevent outlaw nations and rulers henceforth from disturbing the peace of the world. “This makes a clear cut issue. I have hoped for this from the first. We shall have now an unmistakable referendum on this great question. “The republican candidate no longer is attempting to induce two differing interpretations of his position. He has flanged himself with Senators Borah and Johnson, repudiated Iris own vote and those of his colleagues for reservations and cut the cables utterly between himself arid Mesrs. yaft, Root/ Wickersham, Hoover and those other distinguished republicans who support the league. His position is, not only against the league, it is against a league, and we shall have no more quibbling on the subject “In the democratic party alons now rests the hope of civilization. The object for which we entered the war and for which our people toiled and died can be attained only through the election of the democratic candidates. ‘lt must not happen again,’ was what the world said November 11, 1918, when the armistice, wap signed. The only way to prevent that was and is through the league of nations and since Senator Harding’s speech at I Des Moines, the only way to join | the league in any form is through |the democratic party.”

CORNER STONE INDIANA MEMORIAL BUILDING

Indianapolis, Oct. 8. A stone | from the bridge across the Marne 'at Chateau-Thierry, where the Yankee forces checked the tide of I German invasion Will be the cor- । ner stone of the Indiana War Mei morial building, according to announcement by Dr. T. Victor Keene, member of the national executive committee of the American Legion for Indiana. V The stone probably will be the center of ceremonies which the Legion will hold in this city Armistice Day, November 11. - “The French Government,” Dr. Keene said, through a delegation of the Knights of Columbus, has presented to the Legion a large stone taken from the bridge over the Marne at Chauteau-Thaerry, where the- American forces made the stand which stopped the German tide, and later resulted in victory for the Allies. The stone has been carefully marked and is accompanied by historical documents establishing its authenticity. The Legion in turn has presented the. stone to the department of Indian?-1 to be used as a cornerstone for the ( war memorial building which will I be the Legion’s national headquar- j ters. This brings to Indiana one । of the most historic monuments in tiie United States, and establishes here something which in point of interest will be comparable to Plymouth Rock 100 years from now. The national organization of the Legion has been seeking this historic treasure for many months, but for a long time the French government refused to permit it to be• taken out of-France. However, the - ] government decided to present it to the Legion, arid the decision of the Legion to give the stone to the department of Indiana for the cornerstone of the memorial gives the state a center of historic interest which cannot be duplicated. The stone is now in the possession of this department and probably will be unveiled with appropriate ceremonies in connection with the Legion’s observance of Armistice Day. It will be remembered that the General in commaad of the American troops at Chateau-Thierry where this stone was located was General Omar Rundy, of Newcastle, who gained nation-wide fame for his order which turned the tide of battle.

BLUE AND WHITE OF LOGANSPORT SATURDAY

A light workout' characterized the practice session of Coach Leighley’s high school football squad this Friday afternoon in preparation for the toughest game of the 1920 schedule at Riverside park Saturday afternoon when the Blue and White clad athletes of Logansport assort themselves over the chalklined, field to do battle with the Maroon and Black. The Cass county aggregation and their backers are already laying claim to the Indiana high school football championship by virtue of the team’s two victories this year in as many starts, and they look upon the Rensselaer game as a stepping stone to greater things. They are oozing with confidence and apparently are underestimating the strength of the local. eleven. Confidence, but not an overdose, reigns in the Leighley camp and the Rensselaer players assert that they are going to put a damper on the championship aspirations of the visitors. They are in the pink of condition and every man is on his ! toes awaiting the bell. They real--1 ize that in Logansport they are facing an eleven that stafids high in high school circles, but are not one whit dismayed by the strength of the larger school.

The game will be called at twothirty. The probable Rensselaer line-up follows: Phegley—Left End. Wasson—Left Tackle. Grow-—Left Guard. , Weiss—Center. French—Right Guard. Lambert—Right tackle. Wright Right Thompson—Quarterback. Larsh—Left Halfback. Harmon—Right Half-back. Collins—Fullback.

MESSAGE WAS NOT EXPENSIVE

Mention has been made in the Republican of the telephone mesaage received by Mrs. L. H. Hamilton Wednesday morning from* her son, Fred Hamilton, who was in Los Angeles, Calif, The regular toll for a telephone message from Rensselaer to Los Angeles is $14.15 for three minutes with an extra charge of $4.70 for each additional minute. This is for a person to person- service. The day rate for the same. phone for station to station service is $11.35 for the first three minutes and $3.75 for each additional minute. There is a special rate in effect from 8:30 p. m. to 12:00 midnight of $5.70 for the first three minutes with $1.90 for each minute overtime. But the cheapest rate is the service from midnight to 4:80 a. m. and this is the rate used by Fred Hamilton. This rate is from station to station, the charges being $2.95 for the first three minutes and 95 cents for each additional minute. Fred’s mother is sure that both got the worth of their money in again hearing one another’s voices. Fred had not heard his mother’s voice since February, 1918. At that time he spent but a fourteen days’ leave en route from London to Victoria, Canada. This short visit was after three years’ service as a Machine Gunner with the Canadians in Europe.
