COST OF ISOLATION Some souls that are not stirred by the moral aspect of the league issue may be moved by the realization that the failure of the United States to stand by its allies and the world will cost taxpayers millions of dollars says the independent Indianapolis News. The payment can not be tranferred altogether to the shoulders of a future generation.® It will be feit almost immediately. To guide the national defense policy the state department recently sent out an inquiry as to what was being done and proposed toward disarmament by the members of the league of nations. The answer was that nothing wasi being done. 1 As long as the United States is not. a member of the league no powerful nation can Afford to reduce its armament. A league without one of the great powers can not give a guaranty of peace and stability that would justify any nation in abandoning or reducing its means of defense, nor could the other nations be expected to be bound by an agreement that lessened their powers of offense or defemnse while leaving the United States free to build up a vast military machine, :

There is not, nor can thre be, any movement toward reducing national armament as long as this country is not a member of the league. Conae-} quently, the United States must spend next year some millions of dollars more for national defense than was ever before spent in times of peace. Other nations will do likewise. The United States isolated and not regarded with the friendliest of feeling by the world, must look to her self-preser-vation. Millions of dollars more will be asked of congress by the war and navy departments next year ~ that would not have been needed had a bolicy of disarmament, or conmtrol of armament been agreed upon by the nations. Had the United States enward diarmament would now have mediately and, i persisted in, will

cost future generations billions. q means the perpetuation of the old tragic race for a supreme army or navy that his so long bled the world, and has now beggared great nations. A KEY TO HARDING'S MIND. I Senator Harding has finally dhvi covered that “our relations with the l world at large are such that important’ happenings in other countries hv¢l a marked effect on condition at home.” This shows the advantage oli leaving the front porch now and then. The instances are rare indeed in which travel has had a more immediate effect in broadening the intellect thau Senator Harding's journey from Marion to Minnesota. v

~ On the way to the Minnesota State Fair somebody evidently told him that there had been a war and that this war, in addition to affecting the United States, had produced a certain condition of affairs elsewhere Having heard about the war, the Senator unhesitatingly declares that “order must be restored, industries rebatlt, devastated ‘lands reclaimed. ‘transportation re-established, the vast armies reabsorbed in the occupation: of normal life.” Some of .us had had Inklings of this state of things before and had ventured to believe, as the Senator s 0 sagely remarks, that “the near future promises to be a period of unceértainty for the farmer as well as for men engaged in industrial en-| terprises.” - -

. And what does the Republican candidate think ought to be done about it? inquires an exchange. Ratify the treaty? Put the -political, economic and moral force of the United States back of the League of Nations? Join with the other civilized countries in a policy of disarmament? Try to stabilize the peace that has been won with such a colossal expenditure of blood and treasure? Not at all. | The -main thing to do, of course j= to revise the tariff upward, fn order that American industries shall not have to compete with the labor of 10,000,000 dead men in Europe. But the farmer must have more tariff too. “The farmers of the corn belt, for example, are already threatened with unfair competition from the Argentine” The Argentine hogs are presumably pauper hogs and fatten much quicker on the pauper corn of that country than do the rich an independent hogs that are fed on the freeborn American corn of Kansas and Nebraska. This upsets the hog market and compels the Chicago packers who skin the producer and consumer with the strictest impatiality and'who contribute regularly to Republican campaign funds, to make frequent adjustments in prices in order to keep the public in general from deriving any advantage from Argentine competition. >

In the meantime however, we have found a kgy to the Harding mind. W¥ know why it werks the way it works The explanation will be found in. the Republican Campaign Text-Book Just Issued. under the heading “Suggestions for Speakers:"” .

(a) Avoid Gov. Cox’s falancious contention that the chief desideratum is definiteness in the obligations to be assumed by the United States. If the obligations are in their nature undesirable the greater the definiteness the greater the risk. : (b) Avoid Mr. Franklin Roosevelt's superficial assumption that the United States without the use of force could have kept the peace of Europe by merely joining a league founded on force. - o ~ (c) Insist that no general ‘commitment shall at any time be made which deprives the United States of freedom of decision and action whenever international political questions present themselves. . . : Senator Harding might have written those directions himself. Avoid everything. Dodge every obligation. Sneak out.-of every reponsibility. Boost the tariff. Boys, Get the Money! ‘Senator Harding has made an appeal to all the discordant elements for votes and now it is time to turn. to the Bolshevik. : |

Wonderful Crop of Onlons. Asher Erdley and John Skeels. onion growers and buyers report a wonderful crop of onions in the southern part of the county this year. Mr. Erdley has a yield of 7,000 bushels on a ten-acre tract and one acre yielded 916 bushels. Mr. Skeels beats this record for an acre yield of over 1,000 bushels. The dealers failed to get cars on the B. & O. and are shipping over the New York Centrai and Pennsylvania railways. The onmion crop in Noble county this year will have to be moved by train loads if it is saved. The price is about one cent a'pound. ‘ ; - .

~ When shall we sow wheat? is a these days. The Department of Agricuitaré has had W. H. Larrimer of Lafayette investigating the habits of the Messian Fly througbout Ind. Sowings at three to five day intervals have been made In various localities of the state for several years. It has been found that the f]y free date varies according to the weather and climatic conditions. Again, 100 late sowing results (in severe winter killing. ~ Mr. Larrimer's task has been to giscover dates for different parts of the state which will bes afe againsi thef ly and at the same time avoid winter killing as much as possible. Basing judgment on several years of investigation, he gives the average safe date of September 22d. for Noble County. Those sowing on or after this date stand i reasonable chance of escaping the ravages of the fly. . Every indication points to a° lors. from the fly similiar to that of last year unless control measures arel taken. A single field of early sown wheat will often ' furnish = enough flies to infest and entire locality th= following spring. Farmers must cooperate together In combating the pest. : : . L

- Polities In Flkhart Twp, The Wawaka correspondent saye: . “In precinct 9 at Wawaka forty-one women registered Saturday and 100 at precinct 8 at Cosperville. The women of Elkhart township approached the voting proposition in the same high spirit of duty that they met the late war proposition. Dignitied and stately some of them accompanied by husbands, others by their daughters all day Saturday they kept coming and going. Registering was done ini perfect silence except for ‘the quiet questions of registrar and registrant. There will be a big number registered Oct. 4. Remarkable {8 the attitude of the young daughters who urgently advise their mothers to register and “do your duty.” The women of Indiana realize the chaos of the times — when thec all comes they “will do their duty as they did when they stood shoulder to shoulder with the boys in the trenches.’ i Economy Run on Lincoln Way. - San Francisco, Cal.
