CorruniTy STAR oF Hope A & o ry ) 3 . \Y & - Nome vrrst FRANK AND OPEN

In his address accepting the presidential nomination by the democrats Gov. Cox is frank and open in all his declarations. - Anyone who understands plain English will have no difficulty in knowing just what Gov. Cox means. Like the democratic platform the address is direet and outspoken and leaves no room for doubt.

“President Wilson, as our representatjve at the peacs table, entered the league in our name, insofar as ths executive authority permitted. Senator Harding as the republican candidate, proposes in plain words that we remain out of it. As the democratic candidate I favor going in.” ‘ _ That definitely fixes Governor Cox's position, and it is in harmony with the properly expressed position of the party in the platform says the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. . . Having announced himself: thus straightforwardly as favoring going on, Governor Cox amplifies on his position in favor of interpretativa reservations that will make clear to ‘our fellow members the constitutional limitations of our power. : Aund he makes his position clear too, on Harding's monstrous pledge to urge a separate peace of the kind that Trotsky made with Germany—denouncing it as treachery to our allies, treachery to the spirit of America and as “a plece of bungling diplomacy and plain unadulterated dishomestly as well.” No honest man will doubt it.

~ Taking up Harding's utterly insincere and brazenly dishonest promise to attempt the creation of some other kind of international combination after killing the one which sotisfies all the nations of the earth but Mexico, Russia, Turkey and China, he leaves it riddled and limp. In doing so. he almost follows the line of Taft's analysis of the promise in the Philadelphia Public Ledger. .In truth, the Harding promise is merely intended to satisfy bigoted partisans who have favored the leagu¢ and to eatch suckers. .

"-The absurdity of the dishonest Hard ing promise, he illugtrates with a few points: : It would mean that we would have to persuade ‘twenty-nlng nations that have gladly accepted the league to retrace their steps, and withdraw from the league—which is absurd. It would mean that we would have to name another commission to meet with a similar commission from all the nations—which is ridiculous. - ~ It would mean the re-opening of all the delicate international questions relating to territorial boundaries—and that would mean_ chaos. : It would mean that we would have to do what the world has been vainly trying to do for seven hundred years. Common sense, a very earthly kind of common sense, discards the silly ldea. : 3

No league would have been possible except as the immediate aftermath of a disastrous world war. No new league is possible without another world war. And after another world war the world would be Red, and civilization a memory. :

AS TAFT SEES IT William H. Taft, former President who is looked on as spokesman for those Republicans who favor ratification of the treaty with Germany from his summer home at Pointe Pic Canada has sent a letter in response to questions submitted to him by the New York World, in which he says among other things: ‘ - “ I have often had occasion to say that without any reservations at all the covenant of the league of nations, in so far as it purports to impose any obligations on the United States, must be construed to mean that the obligation will be performed in accordance with the ConStitution of the United States and in no other way. It does not add anything, therefore. to the ratification of the United States of the league to make a resevation of some thing which is necessarily impited without it” X |

The former President also says: “I believe that it will be found that witen Harding approaches the twentynine members who have already formed a league that they will be reluctant. to adopt some new: form, especially if by that time the league shall have demonstrated it usefulness and practicability. It is on this basis that I hope Harding will ultimately conclude it to be wiser to enter the me_with the Lodge reservations to attempt to carry out the same purpose through a new

In his reference to the farmer and agriculture Gov. Cox in his acceptance speech says: : “Every successful modern business enterprise has its purchasing, producing and selling departments. The farmer has maintained omnly one, the producing department. It is not only fair that he be enabled both to purchase and to sell advantageously but it s absolutely necessary because he hras become a competitor with the manufacturer for labor. He has been unable to complete in the past and nis help in consequence has been insufficient. Therefore, the right of cooperative purchasing and selling in the modern view, should be removed from all. question. Agricultural thought has not been sufficiently represented in affiirs of government. Mury of the branches of the governinent which deal remoiely or directly with the soil and its priblewns and its possibilities would be more valuable to the general wefare if the practical experience of the farmer were an element in their adnfl.xlatrquoa. To be specific, the interstate commerce commission, the federal reserve board, the federal trade commission and the United States tariff commission are administered by business men. [oes anyone contribute more to the making and success of railroads than the farmer or to the creation and prosperity of the banks, or to the stability.of manufacturing and trade units, or to the agencies interested in exporting?” s ;

The official head of Thomas P. Gore, who has represented Oklahoma in the United States senate since the state was admitted to the Union in 1907, has gone into the waste basket. Gore the blind senator was elected as & democrat but he voted against going to war with Germany and opposed President Wilson’s policies in nearly every instance. Scott Ferris, congressman, is the nominee. He made his campaign on a Wilson platform. One by one the enemies of the great war president go down to defeat before the people. James A. Reed,-United States senator for Missouri is another_disloyal official who will get his when his present term expires. :

And now comes the best attorneys in Indiana with the claim that the “blue sky law, enacted at the special session of the legislature and praised 80 highly by Gov. Goodrich is no protection against the sale of fake stock and securities issued in other states. The penalty for deception in the measure falls on the one who issues the stock and ‘upon the salesman. If Indiana laws will not reach offenders residing in other states, the blue sky act becomes a farce and a help to the salesmen.

The state board of tax commissioners indicate that if the county boards of tax reviewers will simply confirm the illegal horizontal raises of taxes made in 1919 much confusion may be avoided. No doubt of it, but where will redress come for the innocent taxpayer who was s 0 grossly over assessed? The man who was taxed more than 100 cents on the dollar willl have

recourse—he may go into court at an expense of some hundreds of dollars. Great state tax board!

“Open covenants, openly arrived at” is not applicable to nations only, but to individuals as well, according to a solemn vow accepted by 2,500 delegates from all parts of the United States and from foreign countries attending the annual convention of the International Bible Students association at Scranton, Pennsylvania. 3

Fertilizer Swindle Exposed. : Calcium Silca Minerals, a so-called fertilizer being marketed by an Indiana firm located at Bloomfield, consists of nothing more than sand with a Hitle clay in it, removed from gravel by washing and screening at the pit of the Martinsville Gravel Company, according to State Chemist, E . Mol o . - A litile of the material has heen solil and because of the dissatisfaction of the farmers at the increased cost of fertilizer this fall, much ‘may bhe sold ‘unless the true content of the material bécomes generally known. : Blg Farmers Meeting af Winona Aug.ll Announcement of a mammoth Faimers meeting to be held at Winona August 11th. has been received from the Kosciusko County Farmers Association.
