MIR. HAYs's SUICIDE CLUB
(NeW York GlOhe.l

Will Hays is one of the most success ful cOnciliatOrs who ever was chairmMgNOf the republican national committee. He Ras had to be, for he was specially chosen for the job of reconciling the irrcconciIabe, merging the unmergeabe and solidifying the obstinately fluid. No drastic pronounce .ment on any subject on which any repub- lican anywhere could take offense has pass led Mr. Hays's lips since he attained his with Hiram Johnson and Boies PcmoSe with the senator from the Back Bay dis trict and the senator from the Snake and the Clearwater. He never takes a position when he can help 1t, and when he does he takes it not by frontal attack but by out flanl1ing it. These habits and attributes of MT. Hays are not to be deplOrcd or criticized since they are all that makes his present office for a moment tcnable. They are the marks of his trade. like the rolling gait of sailor and the potter's flattened thumb But they lend significance to his every plainspoken word. And he spoke very plainly when he said, in his statement giv- en out yesterday at Chicago:
 The committee reservations con
 stitute the irreducible minimum of a
 substantial majority of senators who
 cannot be coerced or cajoled into viO-
 lating their oaths of office to hold
 America first
 If the announced reservations of the foreign relations cOmmittee which strip the league of every trace of legal and moral power, are an ''irreducible minimum, :" then the destruction of the league is an irreducible minimum and if Will Hays says that the destruction of the league is an lrreducible minimum, the official heads of the republican party have decided to take that attitude. But Mir. Hays and the men who drew the senate committees reso- lutions aim to destroy the league while seeming to amend it. And that decision, if persisted in, will split and kill the repubi- can party. Not all MT. Hays s suitability, not all his good intentions, not all the medieval retrogressiveness of the southern democrats, not all the blunders of dozen Burlesons will hold intact a party which has committed such an error in such a fash ion. For the conspiracy to kill the league by first crippling it is not even honorable
 The publishers say that the "Nicl Carter" books, which had seemed to have lost their market, are steadily coming back into their old-time popularity; as is also said to be the case with the once widely popular novels of Laura Jean Libby, Bertha M. Clay, Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth, and Augusta J. Evans "Nick Carter' had be- come type of the detective hero for ju venile readers; the others have become use full names for the critic of literature when he wishes to suggest comparison with popu- lar but rather unsophisticated fiction A few years ago it was believed that the mo- tion-picture theatres would greatly reduce the circulation of the lower-cost books, but time proves otherwise.

LEAGUE STOCK
 SELLS READILY
WOMAN WHO BOUGHT STOCK" KNOWS BETTER
 NOW
NOW

BIRMINGHAM, Ala-A unique stock selling scheme has been un- earthed here. Stock is being sold in the league of nations and, accord ing to one of the victims, it is go- ing strong without reservations" A prominent lady of this city arrived at police Headquarters, all excited and out of breath, and, after extracting the promise of Chief of Police Shir- ley that her name would be withheld told of how she had bought some without reservations"
 q am just an ordinary woman, she declared, and read the papers occasionally. This woman came to my house and gave her name as Miss Sarah Benson, of Chicago. She told me that such men as President Will son and William H. Taft were back ing the league of nations, and I con sidered it a good business prOpOsi- tion. She said that the league of nations would buy all the materials used in the war by different nations and make farming implements out of them. She quoted a verse from the Bible about men beating their swords into plOWshares and, being a religious woman, I was impressed. l told tol fIun oh She took my name and inquired il desired them with or without reservations.
 What do you mean? I asked. Why she said, stock with reserva- tions is $5 per share and without is $450.' Which way is President Will son taking his?' I asked. She in formed me that President Wilson was taking his without reservations, and so I invested what money I had with me with the woman"
 What happened them" asked Chief Shirley.
 Well, when my husband came home 1 told him about 1t and he was dumbfounded-he looked amazed and then burst out laughing. He then spent two hours explaining to me about the league of nations, and if my friends learn my name they will tease me to death"

is acting president. would not observe
pending anti-strike legislation II en-
acted into law.
Such an attempt to single out rail-

what he termed to be the economic
right of workers to strike to prevent
injustice. must be accepted. he said,
in connection with other information
which the railroad brotherhoods have,
as foregone conclusion that railroads
contemplate a general reduction IN
wages when the Government surrend-
ers control and desire such a measure
to forestall a strike.
If these interests or the legislators
believe unresistingly to any such inva-
sion OF their rights as citizens" Mr..
Shea continued. they had better eX-

the pilots.
The success" said the statement,
"of tfS British in building and operat-

The r 3S to outward appearances

HESSIAh FLY TAKES
MUCH WAYNE WHEAT

Evidences Of the Hessian fly have
been found in the majority of Wayne
County fields where the wheat has
been sown before Sept %, said E. F.
Murphy, local agricultural expert.
Monday. The extremely mild weather
this fall, coupled with the heavy rain
fall, has caused the early sown wheat
to grow with great rapidity and
thereby furnish food for the fly,
Complete investigation as to the eX-
tent of its ravages, has not been made
but if the reports Of the farmers hold
true, the production of winter wheat
in Wayne County next season will be
greatly curtailed. Most of the winter
wheat in this county is sown before
Sept. 25.
The only effective check upon the
Hessian Fly is to withhold the sowing
of wheat until later in the fall. says
Murphy.

Although Jenkins was kidnapped on
Oct I9, news of his detention did not
reach his family here until last We'd
nesday, when a telegram was received
firm his sister. Later word came from
her that besides kidnapping Mr.. Jen-
kins, the bandits who held him for
ransom, had also plundered his ranch

State Troops Must Stoy
in Strike Centers While
Regulars Remain, Ruling

The calling of Company X for strike
duty in Indiana Harbor has caused
many persons to wonder why the
state does not call on the government
to place regular troops in the strike
districts and relieve the militiamen.
1t is an accepted theory that regu-
lar troops can be used only when dis
order has become so great that police
and state troops cannot cope with
the situation. So long as the state
autharities are able to maintain order.
regular troops cannot be used for this
purpose.
Should the state troops be recalled
from northel Indiana, the govern
ment would at once recall the regu-
lars to the garrisons from which they
were sent into the strike zone. Until
the situation is absolutely normal,
state troops will have to be kept there
