INTRODUCING HARDING TO AR- - v TICAL XX. = It has long been evident that Senator Harding never read any of the caveénant of the League of Nations except Article X., and does not know what that means. Secretary Colby and Attérney General Palmer bhave now introduced him to Article XX, which provides that— o “The members of the League severally agree that this covenant is secepted as abrogating all obligations or understandings so inter which are inconsistent -with the terms thereot. and solemnly undertake thgt they wili not hereafter enter into any engagemients inconsistent with the terms thereof.” . = = The forty-three Governments that have set their seal to this covenant have entered into the obligation impoged by _Artk'lé XX. Does - Senator Harding think they_are going to turn ihe treaty and the covenant into a scrap of paper merely to help the Republican Senate out of a hole? Either his league will have to gomply with all the provisions of tht League, including Article X., or its membership will be limited to Russia, Turkey and the United States. for Germany, Austria and Hungary wish to join the League. already in existence and Mexico will probably perfer that too. . The Harding league is-a campaign hoax and will never be anything more than a campaign hoax. -

It does not pay for a public character to indulge in loose statements in a public address. When Senator Harding said France had approached him informally to advocate a new association of nations he overstepped the mark and crossed the . Rubicon. France is a member of the league of nations, was among the first to join and that she is willing to scrap the league is entirely out of the guestion. Of course Senator Harding now says the French government was in no wise inyolved and that it was an individual Frenchman who approached him and he will not disclose his identity. This sounds like the man who is caught with stolen. goods on him and claims to have purchdased them from some one whose identity cannot be determined. It was a bad day for the republican party when Senator .Harding left his front porch. : e

~ Is there a voter in this country who believes that .Germany will carry out her obligations defined in the treaty of Versailles if the United States does not join the league of nation? And what will the United States get out of a separate peace with Germany except the -contempt of all the civilized nations of the world? These arz

Warren G. Harding. candidate for the presidency made a hard fight in the United States Senate to defeat thed ill for a farm loan system. {(Seo Congressional Record, page 6849.) - He made speeches against the bill, and presented to the Senate the argument of the farm mortgage banker in which appeared the following:. : In almost every section of this bill there is error on some important point in respect to minor details and its general plan is rendered - utterly vicious by two - monstrous . objects, which are, an unjustifiable usé of the cash and credit of the United States government for a special class of private individuals and the creation (too soon after the postal banks) of another government savings bank system absolutely -unnecessary - and fraught with grave dangers because of a wrongful combination of long term operations. The bill is so bad and faulty that it would mot have the ghost of a show in congress were it not- for the fact that a presidential

campaign is near. n i : The words were the words of a farm mortgage banker, but Senator Harding presented them to the senate. This was after the farmers of America had been struggling for a generation to get a farm loan system that would enable them to secure loans on long time at low rates. They were alwdys fought by farm morigage bankers and farm _'rqortgitge loan companies, just as they were fought in this instance by the farm mortgage banker whom Mr. Harding represented on. the floor of the Senate. g \ :

The railroads have always had long time interest at. low rates. The big manufacturing companies had -the same privilege. The interest rates to railroads ran as low as 3 per cent and the loans extended through periods of 30 to 40 years. : The homes of farmers kept going under thé mortgage. Farmers became renters on the farms their fathers had owned. Interest on jhe mortgage was high, the loans were short time and the fees which they had to pay for renewals ate up the earnings on the farm, and, all together the mortgage took the farm away from them. The loss of their farms by the owners went s 0 swiftly that in 1910, 38 per cent of the farms in the country were operated by renters. L : - When, finally a bill for a farm loan system was introduced tl the senaite by Senator Hollis, at the request of President Wilson, Senator Harding became its opponent. He presented a document that denounced it as “ut‘terly vicious” that said it had “two monstrous objects” and said the bill ‘was “an unjustifiable use of the cash and credit of the United States government for a special class of private individuals,” of course meaning farmers. Harding sald it was absolutely unnecessary and fraught with - grave ‘danger. ? : . |

Here is another thing said by Senator Harding is' his fight against the bill: “I will not assume to say that conditions in Ohio are altogether like those in other states in the Union, but I belive I state an absolute truth when 1 say there is no more need for a measure of this kind for the agricuiturists of the state of Ohio than for the government to step in and take charge of all our industrial and productive -affairs in that state.” (See Congressional Record page 6849.) Here is another statement .by Senator Harding in one of his speeches opposing the bill: St “I know from personal contact with the problem that the average Ohio farmer can secure more money readily than any other person in the State, and he can secure it on less credit than any man in the mercantile or -manufacturing enterprise. The} rates of interest are not high. I dt_mbt.“ if there.is a loan made in the State of Ohio at more than .6 percent interest, and it can be made for a short or long time, to suit the convenience of the customer. T only speak of this in passing, because to those of us in ‘Ohio there seems to be no - occasion for the passage of such a measure. However, I/want to present to the senate the very valuable suggestions ‘of the distinguished banker who has ‘written to the New York Sun somewhat as follows: The Hollis bill is a useless and dangerous measure. It is full of flaws inconsistencies, loopholes Jokers apd meaningless verbage be-| sides lacking indespensable clanses while it flagrantly violate basic prin-

ciples by substituting the credit of ths goverument for the credit of the land. And by clothing land credit institutions wuh:n.avhmnvm'wd‘ allowing them to id on thﬂr‘ credit and incumber their assets wtmi Liabilities throtigh bond iseues” ' Senator Harding falled to get solid. delegation in the Ohio Republican primaries in support of his candidacy for president. The Repuablican farmers of Ohio fought him. They distridbuted circulars quoting from his speeches against the farm loan system and ciring his . notorious “Dollar-a-bush«l wheat” speech made In the = senate when thé war food bill was under discussion. = - ' ; Boys Steal Auto. = = Richard Cole and Ben Van Hart, two Kendaiiville youths are under arrest for the theft of an automobile belong;’!n.‘ to_Albert Lieberenz at LaGrauge. l : To Open Battery Station., [— - Fred’ Kiester has accepted the agency for the Cooper Storage Battery and willopen a service station in this city.
