NO AID FROM lEGAUE

Mr. Wilson urges adoption of the
league of nations as an aid to Ameri-
can trade. The business of banking
in this country would doubtless be ma
terially stimulated if the covenant
were to be adopted, as is evidenced
by the extreme soliciting of certain
prominent International financiers Of
New York and Chicago for the pact
that guarantees the integrity Of newly
born countries in which they may
place loans. But aside from helping
the possessors of swollen fortunes to
increase their holdings through the
medium Of European loans, American
trade does not need to look to the
league for aid. Already cargoes of all
sorts of merchandise are going to Ger
many, the embargo on practically ev-
cry article of export having been re-
moved by the war trade board.

A pedometer is scientific contriv-
ance that measures the movements OF
the human body. 1t is attached to the
ankle and has a registering device at
the waist. Every step taken is regis
tered in units upon dial, the distance
the foot moves forward governing the
record made. Edgar A. Thornton, a
farmer near Newton, Jasper county,
conceived the idea Of measuring his
movements and so he secured pedom-
eter, so named because it is attached
to the pedal extremities. The read
ings of the record made from time to
time show that from Sept. 21, 1914, to
Sept. 81, 1919, five full years, he has
travelled 1924 miles. During the
month Of September this year he
walked 359 miles.

Formed-Officers Are Elected
SAM D. eRATkE is SECRETARY
Purpose to Bind the Different Sec
tions Of the County More Closely
Schedule Of Events

During the Crawford county teach
ers institute held last week a county
athletic association was organized
with H. w. Hartman, Of Manila, as
president, and Sam D. Gratke, Of Dem
ison, as secretary. The purpose is to
bind the different sections Of Craw-
ford county more closely together, get
the youngsters acquainted, awaken
that old time ginger among the elders
and to give us all some real interest
ling and enjoyable entertainment. The
rules Of the state association will be
followed and the association will boost
for inter-school athletics of all forms,
viz. football. basket ball, volley ball
track, tennis, hockey, etc., for boys
and girls, for the high school and the
grades, with tournaments and meets
|also to be arranged. Forensic work
was also discussed and without doubt
will be taken care of by this same as
sociation. This is county affair and
does not bar any school from taking
part, any rural school developing a
team can arrange to be represented,
also any team can arrange with teams
outside of the county, according to
the rules of the state athletic associa-
|tion.
The following schedule for basket
ball was laid out at the meeting, the
exact date to be arranged between the
two concerned: 49,.

Several years ago J. T. Thurber, of

the U. S. coast guard vessels. During
his years of service he has been

In a case brought to the supreme
court from Burlington, Judge Gaynor
has handed down a a-decision which
puts a different construction on what
constitutes self defense than that usu.
ally accepted by courts. Joe Cough
was convicted of manslaughter, his
victim being Abe Pratt. Cough and
Pratt were farm hands employed by q.
T. Noble, d farmer in Des Moines
county. According to the evidence
Cough was talking to his employer on
farm matters in the Noble home on
the night of the murder Pratt had
gone to bed but came down and COM
planned that he could not go to sleep
because of the talking and fight en-
sued in which Pratt was killed. Judge
Oscar Hale, of Lee county, the trial
Judge, in his instructions to the jury
stated that if the jury found beyond
reasonable doubt that the defendant,
which assaulted. could have avoided it
by retreat. the jury should then find
that it was the duty of the defendant
to effect such retreat, and if he did not
do so he could not avail himself of the
plea of self defense. The high court,
in an opinion written by Justice Gay
nor, declared that tthe duty to retreat,
the duty to fee from assault, comes
only when the resistance cannot be
made effectual without resorting to
extreme measures involving the life
or limb Of the assailant."

SOME POLITICAL HISTORY.

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, Repub-
Iican leader in the United States Senate
and leader also Of the Republican opposi-
ton to the League Of Nations, says the
Senate. under the constitution. has the
RIGHT to advise and consent He de
clares that if President Wilson had lald
the draft Of the League OF Nations con-
constitution before the Senate and had
asked for advice amendments would have
been submitted to him for presentation to
the Paris conference. Senator Lodge
complains that President Wilson mot
only did not lay it before us, before the
constitutional body which is entitled to
advise him, but he does not call the Sen
ate together now to advise him.
This is not the first time Senator
Lodge has expressed his views on the
Senates relation to the negotiation of
treaties by the executive. He said on the
floor of the Senate on January "A, 1906,
when President Roosevelt was concern
ed with the Algeciras and Santo Domingo
matters:
mo one. think can doubt the abso-
lutte power Of the president to initiate and
carry on all negotiations; and after a
treaty has been returned to him with the
ratification of the Senate, to withhold it
from ratification # he sees fit TO do So
There is no doubt that the Senate can by
resolution advise the president to enter
upon negotiation, OF advise the presi-
dent to refrain from a negotiation; but
those resolutions have ne binding force
Whatsoever and the action Of the Senate
becomes operative and actually effective
only when treaty is actually submitted
to it We have no possible right to break
suddenly into the middle Of negotiation
and demand from the president what in
structions he has given to his representa-
tive
After quoting Senator Lodges 1906
words the New York World reminds us
that Senator Lodge went further and
gave unqualified approval to these re-
marks that had been made in the Senate
the day before by Senator Spooner:
From the foundation Of the govern
ment it has been conceded in practice and
IN theory that the constitution vests the
power Of negotiation and the various
phases-and they are muitfarous-o
the conduct Of our foreign relations ex-
elusively in the president He does not
