In speaking of the incorrigible Idaho senator “our son™ approaches biasphemy. He says: .

“Just what he has in his mind to do the rest of this Presidential campaign we do not know ‘and that éven if Senator BORAH were to come straight out for Mr. Cox it would mygke-no difference in the result on November second. o :

"~ “Nothing save Senator HARDING himself and- the direct intervention of GOD Almighty could elect Cox.” Being a righteous God it .is likely “God Almighty” would intervene ii necessary to do so to save the world through the League of Nations, but it wiil not be necessary to invoke divine intervention, - As “our son" intimates Senator 'HARDING himself has assured the election of Gov. Cox.

'l-‘I)R_"‘A.\IERI(‘A FIRST> Warren G. Harding is for “America First.” Look at his vote on patriotic measures and judge for yourself. He voted against the following bills while in the senate: . e Egtablishment of the National Council of Defense. - Bill to increase pay of soldiers abroad. . Bill creating the shipping board. . Bill authorizing ' construction =of plant to. make armour plate at half the cost charged ‘by munition makers. - Act authorizing control of telegrapa and telephone lines. : ; ~ Bill creating War Finance Corporation, and the war preparedness revenue bill in 1917.

There has never been -a campaign in ‘'which an issue so vital to mankind as the league of nations has been the chief contension., The league to protect the small nations against the aggressions of the strong and to enforce the peace of the world has been lied about by those who simply desire to discredit the work of President Wilson and to gain control of the government. The old reactionary group of republicans headed by Senator Lodge started out to kill the league of nations soley. because it was negotiated and advocated @y a democratic president. The peoples of the “world hailed the birth of the league.as a guarantee of peace and it is the only hope to prevent future bloodshed We promised our boys when they entered the world war that they were going to fight to prevent future confilitcs and to keep ‘that pledge the leugue of nations covenant was created All the enlighted nations of the earth have endorsed it but the United States. The opponents of the league are trying to

make our promises to the soldier boys a lie and are asking the voters to indorse and approve the He. It is up to the people to express themselves on this issue at the election in November Nioty percent of the vokers believe in the league and those who vote with Senator Harding to scrap it are going to vote against the dictates of their conscience. The issue {8 too vital to the peace of the world to be decided by partisan prejudice,

Wilhelm Rudolph Heirst, of 8010 Pasha fame is evidently satisfied with the Harding declaration that the republican party is for scrapping the League of Nations and favors a separate peace with Germany. Wihelm Rudolph and Count Von Bernsdorf are of the same opinion and are now working in perfect harmony. ‘ ~ Ministers and the Lesgue, To the Editor of The Banner: . Sir--About onée year ago .the Indiana M. E. conference was held in this city. I had the pleasure of attending this conference and being heartily in favor “of the league of nations, was greatly pleased and gratified at the attitude of the ministers toward this very important issue. Speech after speech was miade in its behalfl. Many fervent prayers were offered up to Almighty God beseeching Him to visit his power upon the senate, thus enabling it to see the mecessity and importance of ratifying the league. All seemed deeply interested and eager that it be ratified. =

‘Resolutions were drawn' up and forwarded to the senate urging the immediate ratification. One year has elapsed. What is their attitude now? Has.the league been changed in any way? Not one awhit. It is thes ame as it was one year ago--standing for not America alone, but all humanity, a vast stride toward putting the whole world upon a Christian bdasis—the goal which Christian people have been forever striving to reach; but where are all those ministers who prayed so earnestly for fits ratification? They are here; but if the roll were called how many would answer in favor o! that “cherished. league” of one year ago? As far as I can learn only a few and why? Surely not for any 'changel of heart, for how could a band of men, holding" themselves up as ‘examples, turn their backs upon an issue which stands for such a noble principle? A principle which they themselves have been trying for years to impress upon the people. : : - 1 visited one of the leading M. E. churches in this city one Sunday evening about the time the senate so flatly refused the ratification of the league. The pastor of this ¢hurch, in referring. to the action of the senate, solemnly said: “I hung my head with shame when I read the headline saying that the senate had killed the treaty.” This same minister ngw standing in bittereopposition to “the same league of nations which hé so ardently advocated one year ago. Why? The secret of it all is partisan politics, . it

It Governor Cox and Senator Harding could exchange - “porches” the ministers would still be heartily in favor of the league—party first, then Christianity. : 3

- The most iniportant question to me is how can they stand before an intelligent audience and advocate honesty and truthfulness when 'they themselves have turned their bancks? How can they hope to secure the confidence and respect of the people unless thcy are sincere? : : < .

The great centenary organization hds been formed to reconstruct the world. . This is a grand and noble movement, but it will be a failure without the league for its security. Ministers, for your own and humanity’s sake, wake up; get a copy of *he covenant of the league of natioms; study "it thoroughly and prayerfully and I am sure you, as intelligent men, will yet have the.mist removed from your eyes and will see clearly. Ged help you to see your mistake befcre your opportunity has vanished whereby you may redeem yourselves, and from this time forward practice what you preéach. AN AMERICAN ~ Indianapolis, Oct. 2, 1920. :

Is Going Concern. , Ambassor Davis, witing in the New York Times, says: : “The league is a going concern * * * It will rapidly become universal It is an open secret that Germany. Austria and Hungary are anxious to become full members gnd it.is highly probable “that they will 8e received: at a very early date. No otker agreement could secure this universality The pyschological monent has passed. At the close of the war the world was weary of fighting. It was.ready to put aside any selfish aims, any thoughts of world power, in order to Secure the blessed boon of peace. However, tragedies are soon forgotten. Already the desire for national advancement and. national power is]i | beginning to crop out. Not ‘many | concessions in the interest of ‘univer|sal unity would be made. A further | conference to establish another league | would fail. The other nations would |say, how could we know that a | turther conference would ervive an | agreement more suitable to tbe United ; State senate?” g : R 5 : - Morrow Loses Wateh. | Charles Morrow had a peculiar ex- | perience this week in losing his watch. | The. time piece hung on the limb of {an apple tree for two days before the owner discovered it.

Senator Moses Draws Miss Landers’ g Fire

Rensselaer, Ind. Oct. §—ln a speech to the women voters here fonight. Mis. Julia Landers “read the record” of Senator Moses, Republican, of New Hampshire and showed that it was he who prevented the governor of New Hawmpshire from calling a special session"Bl the legislature to ratify woman sulfrage, making that state the thirtysixth and givipg suffrage a mojority on the constitutional amendwment. - "] am amused at the appeal of Sepator Moses In Indiana to get the vole of ‘the women for Senator Watson™ Miss Landers said, “1 wonder if tho women who are conversant with the history of the suffrage movement will give much atention to the plea of Senator Moses that they give their voles to Senator Watson at his request. B

“Along with Lodge sud Borah and Brandegee and Wadsworth, Senator Moses is well known as a memnber of the group that tried hard to prevent theé women from getting the vote. He says that he expects that Sanator Watson will be made chairman of the finance commitiee in the U. 8. Sénate, hecause he will be of greatl <ervice In influencing - legislation for the upbutlding of American industry. We do not doubt his ability to influence legislation, and we have not forgotten the Mulhall affair, but 1 am wondering whether the women will regard that as much of a recommenddtion fur his slection.” ' ~ Market Day Monday.
