ARTICLE 10

. Article 10 of the league Of nations has been persistently misrepresented by those who oppose the It is claimed by Watson, Wood and the enemies of the league genarticle 10 gives the council of the league of nations the power to declare war, and to compel the United States to mix up in every petty boundary dispute and racial disturbance in Europe, league. It reacts as follows: ~ “The members of the league undertake to respect and preserve against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political Independence of all members of tye league. In case of any such aggression or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled.” This is not true. A careful reading of article 10 will disclose at once that the council has NO POWER WHATEVER TO DECLARE WAR; it has the power only of advising what shall be done in case any nation that is a member of the league invades the territory of any other member. The WORDING IS ABSOLUTELY" PLAIN. It has all along been conceded by such men as ex-President Taft, Mr. Wickersham, Mr. Root, Mr. Eliott, Mr. Hughes and Senator Lenroot that article 10 DOES NOT take away from congress the sole right to declare war. It is only such men as Johnson, Borah, Watson, New, Lodge and Wood, bitter enemies of the league, ■ who still persist that a combination of European nations have the right under article 10 to send our boys overseas to "fight whenever It suits their purpose. This is a part of the Infamous propaganda started by the senatorial cabal and followed by every parroting political orator educated in the recent “school for speakers,” instituted by the Republican state committee. The supreme court of the United States in the case of Thomas Gay (169 U. S. 271) held that: “A treaty which is violative of our constitution is void." This is the universal rule and no lawyer who cares for his reputation will state otherwise. The American

FOR COMPARISON We Publish a Few of Our Prices in Our CASH and CARRY Grocery Departme’t These are not “one day” prices, but they remain during the continuance of our present supply of the article quoted. A few of them may be equaled, and some of them even excelled for a one day special. But we believe that you will find that taking them day by day throughout the month, you will make a saving of about 10 per cent. -Give us a trial and see if this is not so.

RENSSELAER INOIANA

Bar association, made up of the biggest lawyers In the United States, have endorsed the league of nations. Under article IX), we cannot be forced Into any war without our own full consent through congress, because the finding of the council of the league of nations on the question whether war shall be advised by It, must be unanimous, arid the United States will be, under the terms of the league covenant, a permanent member of the council. America’s representative on the council must consent to this advice j before it can become a part of the [finding of the council. The United States representative on the council will vote as he is directed to vote, and if he votes against the advice for war there will be no such advice by the council. It is said that if the council decides to advise war, that the United States cannot get away from that advice/and that we will be morally bound to" go to war. But as there can be no advice by- the council to go to war without the consent of the United States through congress, there- will be no moral obligation whatever, unless our congress fully agrees to follow the advice, and in that case, congress will have to be consulted. Congress alone can declare war! The truth of the matter is that this senatorial cabal propaganda is insisted on to impose upon the ignorant. It fools nobody who has read the covenant except those who want to be fooled. The Republican party in its platform, and Senator Harding In his letter of acceptance, denounced the league; Senator Watson and Senator New both are against it; Coolidge, who was elected governor of Massachusetts on a platform indorsing the league of nations, was once for it, is now against it; and all this because of party necessity; why should the women of the land and the independent voter take the word of the ENEMIES of the covenant for what it means? They misrepresent and distort it. Read the great document for yourselves and do not be led astray by apostles of misrepresentation. —Lafayette Times. . .

The Doings of Hoosierdom Reported by Wire. SEES RESTRAINT OF TRADE Jesse E. Eschbach, Chairman of Food and Coal Commission, Says Body Has Evidence of Combination In Coal Industry. Indianapolis, Oct. I.—Evidence that there are combinations in restraint of trade in the coal industry in Indiana has been obtained by the special food and coal commission, according to a statement made by Jesse E. Eschbach, chairman of the commission, at a hearing of coal wholesalers. Representatives of Indiana jobbers at she hearing urged the commission to permit jobbers to charge as their commission 10 per cent of the price they pay for coal at the mouth of the mine. “This commission has evidence,” said Mr. Eschbach, to show that retailers in some Indiana communities have such a close organization with Indiana operators that no customer in certain territories can buy a pound of coal direct from mines or collieries, unless the coal goes through the hands of a retailer who collects his regular profit. “That is the very situation that led the state to invoke its police powers in this trade,” said James W. Noel, counsel for the commission. The statement of M*. Eschbach followed a statement by James Bingham, representing the Linton Colliers company, wholesalers, in which he insisted that “retailers’ territory” should be protected,* and other classes of the coal trade should not step into their territory. C. A. Royse of Terre Haute, who represented 23 wholesalers, said that there are classes of consumers who require wholesalers and other classes who require the retail trade.

Mrs. Haeberle and ethers at the place noticed the dog acting strangely and trying to attract their attention, and finally followed It through the barn lot and thence into the cornfield. Dr. Paul F.
