Running serenely without jog.
Its Maker will keep earth's axles

Until the time for which twas made,

No power can throw it out of gear;
Hence timid souls have no cause for

Let no such thoughts our timid souls

For God Almighty is at the helm.

DOUGLAS OIL To

Intensive Campaign Shows
Value Attached to South
Bend as Food Center.

Some idea of the Importance that
Is being attached TO South Bend by
the large food distributors can be
gained from the fact that the Doug
las Oil company Will next week in
augurate a selling campaign that
has been under way OF preparation
for several weeks. The first an
nouncement Of the product will ap-
pear in The News-Times next Tues
day.
The product is an oil used for
cooking purposes and is said TO be
in many respects superior TO lard or
butter for frying and seasoning. one
Of the qualities possessed by Doug
las oil that is sure TO make it popu-
lar with housewives is the fact that
it can be used several times for fry
ing. as il does not retain the odor
of food previously cooked in il.
Douglas oil is made from the
hearts Of kernels OF selected corn.

Mr.. Taft explains that the oppon- |
ents of the League of Nations offer
only objections to the plan, and says
that those who do not like the pro-
posed plan should propose better
pa s0S
That is not so.
The majority OF us do not want to
have anything at all to do with for
eign alliances. whether such an ALI
ance is called League of Nations or
given its true name.
SO it is not up 70 us in any way to
: propose a substitute for the plan
formulated at Paris.
Our alternative is the policy OF
George washington, me policy which
the United States has followed dur
ing its hwole existence as a nation
and under which IL has grown 10
greatness
We offer only objections to the
League Of Nations plan because this
League OF Nauona plan is open only
to objections.
There is not a single feature OF the
scheme which appeals to us who be-
lieye in the established policy of the
United States of no Interference in
European affcirs.
eYt we will accept Mr. Tatt's chal
lenge. We will submit much bet~
ter plan than this eLague of Nations
"a much better foreign policy than
that would be.
We will put it all in eight words:
Come nome and mind our own
American business"
Mr.. Taft also challenges us who
are opposed to the League of Nations
on constitutional grounds to point
out single clause in the constitu-
ito which would be violated by this
foreign alliance. And while we are
about it, we will reply TO that chai-
lenge, too.
Article 1, Section s. of the Consn-
tuition of the United States, says:
The Congress shall have power.
ITO regulate comWerce with for
eign nations; ~.
ITO define and punish offenses
against-the law OF, nations;
ITO raise and support armies; -
ITO provide and maintain navy
These four clauses are all violated
by the provisions Of the proposed
constitution of the League OF Nations
which transfers from the Congress
Of tho United states'to an executive
council the majority Of which would
be British, French, italian and Jap
anese representatives.
/. The power to regulate COM
merce with foreign nations which
is done by articles 16, 1S, 90, 81
and 20 OF the proposed constitution

IL, 16 and IT of that document;

taken from our Congress and trans

The Meter-Liter-Gram System

DOSSIBLY nothing comes intimately into the daily
use of all the people of any country as its system OF
weights, measures and coinage.
The American system of weights and measures was
given by England and England got her own system
from Germany while Germany herself discarded 1t and
adopted the decimal metric system in 1871.
It is true that the United States and Canada have the
decimal system of money and this itself much simpler
than the old English pounds shgs and pence that we
ought easily realize how much better it would be II
our weights and measures were also founded ION the
decimal system.
1t is said that a child of ten, who knows the metric
decimal dollar system use, and its subdivisions can
learn as much about the metric system is needed by
nine-tenths of the people in few minutes
The British Isles, Canada, Australia, and the United
States are the only countries earth that do not
use the full decimal system for coinage weights and
All the world alphabet of letters for writing
and the Arabic numerals for calculating
The day has come when all the world will be drawn
closer together by The foreigner of yesterday
will be your neghbor of tomorrow and America needs to
adapt herself to of the best customs of that new
neghbor in order to get and hold his trade.
There is no division of opinion about the merits of
the decimal system, all the argument is sde only
we have taken the trouble to adopt it.
1t can and should be done If America declares
for it. England will do likewise. 1t will be more

Ode to a Rooster

Dr. Wikle finds some consolation in the loss of
fine rooster. Just listen at this:

And his fourteen wives wailing
But now can sleep late in the morning

Object to Bonds

VIZ E KNOW that in every election ever held there
wv will be some who will take the "off side of the
question against the majority In the bond cleo
tons over recently there has appeared in each
county small minority.
We know further that in county not few
people are opposed to bond issue, and although no
election yet been called they talking against it
and will vote against it if their objections not met
and removed in way
Most of these persons who think that the bond
money will be spend roads other than their own and
they are afraid that there will be equitable division
of the fund
Is it not possible for to get bond commission of
sufficient high integrity command the confidence of all
the people?
If any section of the county is not satisfied with the
proposed distribution of road work those in charge
rearrange the schedule to satisfy all?
The people of any apparently neglected section should
remember that the gangs and equipment of the county
will be released for just such work theirs if the bond
issue is voted.
Before go further, not satisfy practically all
our people, and the opposition bond issue be-
fore it has time to become fixed against bonds?
Confidence of all the people is the first and most i'm
portant thing get and believe it may be secured
if bond commission of high character is suggested by

perly guarded.
