WHOSE TEETH WOULD HARDING PUT INTO LEAGUE, ASKS BAKER (By Associated Presa) I WATERLOO, la.. Sept 17. There rwill be no peace in Europe until the burden of armament Is lifted and the fear of war destroyed. Secretary Baker declared here today In a speech devoted wholly to discussion of the treaty of Versailles and the league of nations covenant. Challenging a statement from Senator Harding's speech accepting Republican presidential nomination, that the league was "so utterly Impotent, to prevent wars that it has not even been tried" Secretary Baker declared the league's operation "has already saved one war, though Senator Harding did not know it." He recited the submission to the league council by Sweden and Finland of the Aland Island dispute. , Prevents This War. "Under tne old order" Mr. Baker said, "Finland would Instantly have occupied the Aland islands with her military forces; Sweden would have innViiHTeii Vir flppt. cut off Finnish

ships If possible and prepared expe

ditionary forces for lmmeaiaie anacn. But ha league In operation has al waAv nrvATit(l one war."

The secretary also took Issue with what he described as Senator Harding's assertion that some such international court as the Hague tribunal with "teeth" In It was the sole agency necessary for the preservation of

world peace. Whose Teeth Will He Take? "Ail nt whirh Rounds very simple,'

Mr. Baker continued, "but whose teeth is the senator going to put into the

Hague tribunal? His criticism or xne t of the league of nations is

that It may require the use of the armed forces of the United States. "Now our armed forces are our teeth; the sanction of the court is the force It can use to put its decrees and judgments into operation; it the Hague tribunal is to have teeth it 13 to have force and the only kind of force which operates among nations is armed i force."

The Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

The effect of the favorable weather in the corn belt, when corn dropped to a low of $1.27 for September and to $1.10 for December, has naturally been felt locally and at all our country elevators. A number of elevators are paying but $1.25 for corn today in the Richmond radlu3. . Country elevator wheat prices have been ranging almost as high as those paid at central markets, and this Is particularly true of milling concerns, since receipts at country points have been falling off so sharply. The farmer having wheat In store is in no hurry to unload it on a declining market, while there 13 now no more grain to come from the threshers. Country receipts of wheat are light In this section, and at some points not a bushel of corn Is likely to come in at present prices, nor until the safety of the growing crop is assured. Clover Seed Entirely Too Low The best informed dealers are telling us that clover seed Is entirely too low; that it will not now bring the cost of production. To begin with, it costs $2 per bushel Just to thresh

It, and-the work of cutting and handling is worth something, of course. Then, then 13 the land and interest on Its value to be figured. John Hazelrlgg, of Cambridge City, said Thursday that he had cleaned 100 bushels of clover seed fqr farmers that day, and that he had advised each of them to hold. Clover seed la selling at $10 per bushel, at least that Is about the bid price, and many receivers are not bidding too strongly at that figure, because city factors nnd seed houses are not anxious to buy, apparently. Compared with a jyear ago, clover seed has gone to the dogs. Take Toledo, for example, now $H for "prime cash," against around $30 last spring. Farmers who have a clover crop know all about seed prices for past two years, when good seed so!d at from $25 to over $30 at farm sales in Wayne and Preble counties. Several men who have studied the situation are saying, "Put your eeed away and forget it." "We were paying $2.40 for No. 2 wheat up to Wednesday," said Wado Kennedy, of Greensfork, "but we have to drop down In view of recent declines. We cut to $2.35 Wednesday afternoon, and we may pay but $2.25 for the next to come in, depending on the trend of values. Wo have not been taking in any corn or oats of late, prices being too low to Bult holders." No coal has been received by the Greensfork elevator folks for several days, but they have some under contract, and no telling when it may come in. Mr. Kennedy said Thursday that an agent had offered him some soft coal at $11.25 at the mines, who claimed that ho was selling a lot of it. He was told to go his way until a more convenient season. Hard Coal Briquettes $16. A car of Pennsylvania briquettes

pressed coal slack, in the main, reach

ed Fountain City this week, at a cost of $16, according to the manager of tho elevator. Number 1 wheat has been bringing $2.40 at this point, but net vo today. Good corn is worth $1.25 to buy now. Referring to clover

seed. Mr. Blttner says that big Eng

lish, little red and alsace were in the sr.me $10 per bushel class right now, although he considered this price as out ofc. reason, compared to real cost and value. He said that corn is Btill considered too green for silo fill

ing in his baileywick. Oats are going

at 60 cents at F. C. Been Paying $2.50 for Wheat. H. L. Trick, elevator man at Eldorado, says they have been paying $2.60 for No. 2 wheat for some time, but it is now worth but $2.30. Corn

la not dry enough to put into sjlos In

the Eldorado district, he claims, ana he knows of no farmers whose silos are likely to be filled for 6ome days. Farmers are busy harvesting tobacco Just now. The United States Bureau of Education has six hundred and fifty thousand echools under its supervision.

Andrew Johnson's Presidency began with a great tragedy and came near ending in another. With a two-thirds majority in Congress, hi3 opponents overrode his vetoes, seized control of reconstruction, stripped the President of authority to dismiss a postmaster or to get rid of an enemy even in his own Cabinet, and bound him hand ''and foot. Swept on in a "very torrent, tempest and . . . whirlwind of passion," they attempted to eject from the White House its helpless occupant, and in an appetite for unbridled power, they commanded the Supreme Court to entertain no appeals from their edicts on the subject of reconstruction. Although the President faithfully executed the reconstruction laws that had been passed over his vetoes, he asserted the right, which never before had been denied a President, to choose his own Cabinet advisers. When he tried to dismiss Secretary fatanton, turned the War Department into a fort, and for weeks held it, night and day; sleeping and eating at hi3 post for weeks. Emotion having supplanted reason, the House hastened to declare that "in the name of the House of Representatives and of the people of the United

States we do impeach Andrew John-1

son, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors." Although there were twelve counts in the remarkable Indictment, no crimes were specified and the misdemeanors that were alleged, consisted almost wholly of the President's attempts to remove Stanton without the consent of the Senate. This most important trial in American history began on March 5, 1868, with the Senate chamber crowded and Chief Justice Chase of the Supreme Court in the chair. "Andrew Johnson President of the United States!" cried the sergeant-at-arms ; "Andrew Johnson, President of the United States!" But the defendant remained in the White House, wisely leaving his case

in the hands of able counsel. The President had few friends left In

Washington, but fortunately the Presi

dency itself had more, Johnson s aoier lawyers, with their better case, tore to shreds the impeachment and the arguments of Its advocates. When one of them, Wm. M. Evarts, was chided for working on Sunday in the preparation of bis defense of Johnson, he replied: "Is it not written that 'if thine asa falleth into a pit it is lawful to pull him out on the Sabbath Day?" There was a general expectation that the Senate would convict, no matter how flimsy tho case, and crowds of eager partisans flocked to Washington to enjoy the spectacle of a White House eviction to see "Andy walk the plank." Senator Ben Wade of Ohio was confident to the last that he would be called on, as President of the Senate, to take Johnson's place. His inaugural is said to have been written and his Cabinet selected, with General Butler of Massachusetts for Secretary of State. Mrs. Wado was no less forehanded than her husband. She was surrounded at her hotel and in the Senate gallery with her women guests, who had come on from "Ohio to assist Bt her Installation as mistress of the White House, and they had provided themselves with becoming gown3 for the great function. As the roll of the Senate was called, amid a hushed suspense, the Republican Senators all voted for conviction, until the Chief Justice asked, "Mr. Senator Fesseden, how say you? Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, President of tho United States, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor a3 charged in this article?" "Not guilty," answered the distinguished Senator from Maine, who had

been in Lincoln's Cabinet. The party alignment was broken and it was again broken in another moment by Senator Grimes of Iowa, who had ben stricken with paralysis under the strain of the trial, but who managed to struggle to his feet when his name was called. Trumbull of Illinois, an old friend of Lincoln, was another man of ability and distinction among the seven Republican Senators wro broke away and joined the Democrats. Yet there were thirty-five votes for convictions against only nineteen for acquittal, just one less than the two-thirds necessary to convict. By a. 6ingle vote the unique independence of the American Presidency, which makes it the most eminent and powerful political office in the world, was saved. Had Congress triumphed, the first long step would have been taken toward Congressional Government on the pattern of the Parliamentary Governments of Europe. Johnson himself had expected to be convicted and was packed up in readiness to leave the White House. But instead of meekly resigning himself to such an unexampled humiliation, he was eager to battle for hi a vindication at the hands of the people, an effort which was only postponed - the few months that remained of his term. The bitterest foe of the President was not more relieved to Eee him leave the White House than the wife

Stanton. 1363 Jan. 13, Senate refused to consent and Stanton returned to War Department. Feb. 22, the House Impeached Johnson.

who had taught him his lessons in the little tailor shop in Tennessee. She had almost never left her room in the course of her four years in the mansion, and her two married daughters had acceptably filled her place at the public functions. When less than seven years had passed since he had been put on trial in the Senate chamber, he walked into that forum of his enemies and took, his seat as a Senator from Tennessee. It must have been to him a sweet triumph, but he bore it becomingly. In his only speech in the Senate he died in four months he did not indulge his old passion for recrimination. On the contrary, he begged the Senators, in courteous, but earnest terms, to forget what had gone before and to lay aside party feeling3 for the sake of reunion. This Southern Unionist only sounded the keynote of his whole life when he pleaded, "Let peace and unison be restored to the land! May God bless this people and God save the Constitution!" That had been the true object of his unfortunate administration, and history has rendered the verdict, which, offers a useful lesson, that in trying to do the right thing Andrew Johnson failed because he tried to do it the wrong way.
