that opposition to early ratification of the peace treaty and the League GOV enant is exceptional. On the Pacific Coast, in the inter-mountain region and in the middle States most of the great Republican newspapers are as earnestly advocating the adoption of the treaty as are the Democratic and independent newspapers. I know from what I have heard and seen that these papers accurately reflect the sentiment of the people.
 High Cost of Living
 My view is that the people want the treaty quickly disposed of so that Congress may turn it's attention to important domestic and economic subjects. While the country was never more prosperous than it is at the present time it is equally true that i the purchasing power of the dollar is far less than normal. This the people have difficulty in understand ing, The high cost of living is real problem in most American households. Every effort should be made to re lieve this burdensome condition. There are many related questions of recon struction which ought to have inn mediate attention.
 "The people have no patience with those statesmen who waste time in useless investigations of the conduct of war which has been won and won sloriously. nor with those bitter partisans who seem to think they were elected to make lengthy speech es attacking the President What the people want is constructive action not destructive criticism.
 "As Democrat, I suppose I should be pleased at the woeful failure of the Republican majority in Congress to dc anything worth whil ebut as an Amer ican, can only regret the feeble lead ership of the party now in control oi the legislative branch of the govern lment."
 Discussing the political outlook, MT Cummings said:
 There is every reason for believing that the Democrats will be successful in 1920. We are just now passing through an interlude of Republican in capacity on Capitol hill which the 4peo pie will not care to repeat"

PEOPLE ARE OVERWHELMING LY FOR LEAGUE; OPPOSITION
 CRUMBLING, SAYS CUMMINGS

Washington, D. C.-Homer $. Cum National Committee has returned to Washington from a two months tour which embraced nearly all of the States west of the Mississippi River.
 Although his trip primarily was to confer with party leaders upon mat ters pertaining to organization MT. Cummings addressed many gatherings of a non-political nature upon the Lea que of Nations and related subjects. He expressed the firm conviction that the great mass of the people, regard less of party utilization favor speedy ratification of the peace treaty.
 My sincere belief based upon per sonal observation, said MT. Cum mings 'is That the people are over whelmingly in favor of the League of Nations. I believe further that they stands and are not impressed with the alleged necessity for senatorial re- servations or interpretations.
 They see in the Legaue covenant not political issue but great human itarian association designed to prevent future war. I found little sympathy among the bighearted men and wo- men of the West for those who merely critize the League, without offering a better substitute of their own.
 League Opposition Crumbling.
 One who has traversed this great country as I have just done, cannot fail to note that opposition to the League is rapidly crumbling. I have absolute confidence that the people will respond to the appeal lof the President for the ratification of the treaty and that the Senate taking it's cue from public sentiment, will give official sanction to the great work of the President and his colleagues in the peace conference.
 Here in Washington, where parti sanship is strong, one finds bitter op ponents of the League and indeed oi everything else proposed by the Ad ministration, but that is not true oi the country at large. One feels the difference immediately upon leaving the confines of the District of Colum bia.
 While I have just come from the West within recent months I have been in various sections of the coun try and I can say in all truthfulness

SAYS YVES HILL HAS
 A REAL AIRPLANE

While in New York on his recent trip east A. A. Belts, chairman of the corporation commission looked up Wes Hill of the Apache Aerial com Lpany and with Hill went to inspect the plane and motor being built for the company.
 Officials of the All-Metal Airplane company from whom the plane has been ordered, expressed the greatest regret that they had been unable to deliver the machine sooner, but stat ed that it is now we'll under way, as the government has eased up in the matter of supplies of aluminium, the metal of which it is being construct ed.
 MT. Betts inspected the motor being built and was assured that a similar motor had been run experimnetally, under full load, for four or five times the length of time any other airplane motor has ever been used without hay to be overhauled.
 1 Hill plans, now that the Atlantic City season will be ended before he .gets the plane, to take it to Palm Beach for the winter before coming
 out to Phoenix MT. Betts says that
 the two companies that operated al
 Atlantic City this summer were busy all the time, charging $25 for minute flights and that Hill believes as good business can be done at Palm Beach this winter.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to medjcf ;.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it..
A prominent druggist says 'STake for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements. and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it ful6lls az
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. r.,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

These figures are said to include the foreign in
vestment in the national debt of Mexico and the
distribution. as far be worked out, of the
holdings Of the securities of all companies operat-
ing in Mexico.
The British government is demanding adequate
protection for British subjects and property III
Mexico including specifically the oil wells the Brit
ish government recently has purchased from Brit
ish corporations, and also is demanding reparation
for the destruction of British lives and property
The French government is making similar De
mands and in addition insists that Carranza pay
the interest on the $3O,O0000O Huerta loan, which
was loated in France but which has been repudi-
ated by the present Mexican government.
The S3OOO0OOO loan constitutes the difference
between the amount of the Mexican external debt
as estimated by T. w. Osterheld at $173 469, O67
and the figures given today by the Mexican gov
eminent which are $143,472125.
Regarding the internal loan debt of Mexico the
Mexican treasury department says it totals $685.
397775 with interest to June 30 next amounting to
S17,914 672.62.
The official Mexican figures fail to take into
account the entire railroad Indebtedness guaran-
teed specifically by the Carranza government when
the lines were taken over, and which is given as
$500 564, 532 United States currency.
Nor do the Mexican figures include obligations
other than railroads which the Mexican govern
ment has guaranteed and which, therefore con-
stitute valid claim against Mexico as a direct
external loan. Chief of these is the "Caia de
Prestamos' farm loan banks obligations which
with interest to June 30, equal $31 5O6 742 rs Nor
does the official Mexican report take into account
the 'fnfacifcable" issue of paper money of which

mains outstanding, making another $8OOOOOO.
which the Mexican government upon issuing
solemnly pledged itself to redeem, but which it

Nor does the official Mexican report take into
account the $20,000000 which the Carranza govern
ment took as "loan" from banks of issue in
Mexico City and which is now the subject of in
junction proceedings by the Bank of London to
enjon the financial agent of Carranza in New York
city from reaching credits in United States banks

Total ......... $e5ooooooO $sooooooo

This investment Of $650,O0O,0O0 had grown in
value until in 1910 it said to be worth $1,000
100000.
Damage claims aggregating $5OOOOO,OOO are said
to be filed with the American state department In
this included legitimate claims for additional
losses due to the following causes:
Destruction of new values created by the Amer
lean energy which has been driven out
Destruction of business through confscatory
taxes and uncurbed bandtry, making operations
impossible
Destruction of original values through unstable
government
Destruction OF. entire financial and credit system
of the country through government DEGREES
Losses in profits which would have been made
during present era of high prices.
Potential damage which would wipe out virtually
all values will become actual if President Carranza
carries out his confiscatory Constitution of 1917
and his subsequent DEGREES, including the follow
ing:
Making foreign corporations or individuals in
competent to property in Mexico unless for
eign citizenship is renowned.
Appropriating all corporaton-owned land, giving
in return unguaranteed state bonds of virtually
no value.
NATURALIZATION of oil, making oil subject to
announcement when the entire oil-producing sys-
fem is now founded on the principle of its belong
ing to the land itself.
Prohibiting any foreign corporation or indi-
vidual from owning anything within go miles of the
frontier or 80 miles of the seacoast.
There are dozens of other interesting things in
the Mexican situation which cannot be considered
here For example, a study of Carranza's sayings
and doings shows him TO be human curiosity.
Is Villa alive or dead? Of course his name is
very much in evidence. Nevertheless, who has
seen him in the flesh for a year more? He isn't
being interviewed and photographed-tba sure.
The personality of Angeles, who has cast his lot
with the Villistas, is interesting. He is educated
and personally attractive
Then there is the national election coming on
with Carranza saying he is out of it and Obregon
and Gonzales rival candidates, talking new reyo-
lutions.
Logically, it would seem to be sufficient to
make Carranza adopt a satisfactory policy and
give guaranty of good behavior
But can he give guaranty? Can anybody in
Mexico guaranty anything?
It looks as if it would be necessary for soma
power to intervene.
And if the United States delegates the Job or
establishing peace and order in Mexico-good-by
Monroe doctrine!
