The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-10-14

W. H. Ripley, an Indianapolis attor-
ney, has sent the following communi-
cation, copy of which has been sent
to The Palladium by DR.. l. S. Harold,
on the League of Nations controversy.
to Senators New and Watson:
My dear Sirs: AS brick wall
stands firmly and true when each
brick, firmly and truly, holds its posi-
ton, so American citizenship is effec-
i've and safe when each unit citizen
honestly and periodically, firmly and
truly serves his country with his
devotion and advice.
"A treaty and a league OF nations
has been initiated by the president,
the only constitutional member Of the
nation to do SO. 1t is submitted to the
senate for its advice and consent,
just as appointments by the president
TO judgeships in the supreme court.
Our constitution uses the same words
in both cases. In acting on such ap-

pointments, the senate can approve or
disapprove, with no power to alter
by substituting another appointee. The
president is the author and the fin
Usher of both. l forego a discussion
of the senate's legal power to make
treaty indirectly by amendments or to
approve a part of a treaty, and disap-
prove a part. The president cannot
veto a part, and approve part OF an
act of congress. l do insist, as a mat
ter of policy and craftsmanship, the
senate should act on the treaty In
toto and not in fragments. AS
whole, does the document contain suf-
ficient benefits and virtues to over
come its faults? No document, espe-
cially compromises to amalgamate
many conflicting elements, has ever
existed without a fault. The virtues
and benefits should be preserved and
fostered if it contains the yeast for
future correction and amendments.
Take our own constitution, one of
the greatest political advancements
in history to that time. 1t had faults,
but its virtues as a whole swallowed
up and smothered these faults. Would
you have rejected that document be-
cause 1t permitted slave trade for
twenty years? Or because it permit
ted slavery in some of the states? Or
because slaves were represented in
congress with no right to vote, there
by giving to some states more votes
than others in our congress? Or be-
cause of limited suffrage? You would
not. You would say, as whole, ito
virtues are as numerous as the stars
in the heavens. It's faults in time
will be corrected by amendments, au-
tomatically by its own provisions.
Our Nation is great, powerful and am
bilious. 1t has a great future for
good of itself and humanity. But it
can accomplish more if it has the
help of other great powers. We must
beware of egotism, selfishness and
prudish isolation. According to the
Holy Writ, Let him who standeth.

REDS OF CARY
WOULD WREST
CITY FROM U. S.
Drive Soldiers Out is Cry
of Pamphlets Found in
Strikers Possession.

GARY, Ind, Oct. 14-Circulars ad-
vocating the wrestling of the city from
military control were Haunted on the
streets late today. Intelligence officers
were instructed by Col. w. S. Gapes,
in command here, to exercise every
power to trace the source Of the liter
allure. Among some Of the inf1am
mable paragraphs on the circulars are
the following:
"Workingmen of the United States,
the capitalists are challenging you.
They are demonstrating before
your very eyes that the governmental
powers is theirs, for use against the
enslavement which they force upon
you. The homes of the workingmen
of Gary are being raided, their meet
ings forbidden, their literature con-
fiscated by the military regime which
controls Gary. Martial law is su-
preme. The instruments to destroy
the lives of all of the workers are
ready
Appeals for Challenge.
Are you, workingmen OF this coun-
try, going to submit meekly to the use
of military invasion and force to break
your strikes? Shall the iron heel rule
unchallenged?
This is the hour to rouse the work
ers.
Gather in great mass meetings.
Bring to the attention of the unen-
lightened workers the meaning of
martial law at Gary. Show them that
it is not enough to strike against low
wages and bad working conditions, but
that the strike must be directed
against capitalism. The workers must
capture the power of the state. They
must wrest from the capitalists the
means through which the capitalist
rule is maintained. The answer to the
dictatorship of the capitalists is the
dictatorship of the workers."
Statement by Mapes.
Col. Mapes, commanding the Fed
eral troops here, issued a statement,
which follows:
This is the most dangerous piece of
literature that has ever come to my
attention.
Other red pamphlets have been Sc
we're. but the subject matter has been
usually general in direction. This is
a direct appeal to their followers to
overthrow the Federal troops in Gary.
TT is the most dangerous situation
we have had to deal with, but it will
be dealt with accordingly"

High Prices of Corn
Cause Drop in Meat

High price of corn and other feeds
is given by local retail butchers as
the chief reason for the gradual de-
cline in the price of beef and pork.
Since the first of October, beef and
pork has dropped cents a pound.
Farmers say it is Improbable to
feed high priced corn to hogs, as
corn will bring more on the markets
than stock, and for this reason the
markets are flooded with cattle and
hogs, thereby causing a depreciation
in value.
Butchers look for the return of high
prices for if the farmers quit raising
stock and devote their time to grain
a scarcity of meat will result and
prices advance

right away, and we. are sent from
here, that We viii 20 as a detachment

greatly worried lately about us being
sent from here TO another place foi

was quite likely. But we all trust and
hope now that our officer in charge
knows what he is talking about when
he says that we will be sent direct tc
the States, and not be re-assigned
That came very near happening to us
the first part Of this week, but as yet
we are here. But you can see just
how we stand at the present time, and
that is in quite an unsettled condition.
There arc several married men in our

rest of us, are more than anxious to
get back home, especially the fellow
with whom ! am now working, who
has a wife and little child In New Jer-
sey. He has seen the child only once
since II was born, and it is now over
a year old. He has been here about
nine months.
Some Of us are going TO try and get
a 4S-hr. pass to visit some one Of the
larger towns or cities near us within
the next few days, as really have
seen very little Of the larger places

am entitled to a seven-day furlough
over here, but l have neglected to
apply for it, thinking that we might
be starting on our homeward bound

desire at the present. | have written
you about every two days lately and !

BETTER PAY YOUR TAX EARLY


Failure TO Pay Your War Tax win
Bring Severe Measures on Your

Washington, ID. C,--Work on tbs

come equallcd or exceeded these
amounts, according 10 their mcrital
value and status, must file return

al revenue for the district in which
they live on or before March i5.
Here is what will happen to them
il they don't; for failure to file re-
turn on time, fine Of not more than
81 900 and an additional assessment Of
rs per cent Of the amount Of tax due.
For "willfully refusing" to make a

For failure TO pay the tax on time, n
fine Of not more than $1,000 and an
additional assessment Of per cent Of
the amount of tax unpaid, plus per
cent interest for each full month DUR
