And until we complete the job, we
have broken faith with the boys, and
those who sleep in France.
Devil Takes Hold
"The allies were high In their
praise OF Wilson. He came to them
preaching the doctrines Of Democracy
the doctrines of peace. And the
Republicans also praised his work,
until the devil took hold Of them
and showed them where the munition
makers would give them huge sums
of money If they would defeat the
league of nations. For with the
league of nations in operation, these
munition makers will not dare manu-
facture freams and weapons OF death,
and so their profits would be gone.
"In the old days men shot each
other when they got into an srgu-
ment. Then a law was passed which
prohibited the carrying of concealed
weapons. Then, after the passage OF
that law, the day after two men
would engage in an argument, they
would meet again and shake hands.
But before the passage of that law,
they would not have been alive to
meet again. OF course, in those
days, the manufacturers of the weap-
ons opposed prohbitory law, for it
would take away their profits. How
ever, they gave as the reason for
| their opposition the statement that
What does it matter If couple men
shoot each other up a little
| Money the Root OF Evil
1.-THE modern gun and munition
makers are opposing the league of
nations. Munitions makers alone made
over $500, ,O00,0 900 in the manufacture
of their deadly products. Pennsylva-
mia made over 81 300, 100000 in muni-
tions.
Lodge always was for the league
of nations. Then he turned against
it. Why? Well, the Bible says, Where
your treasure is, there will your heart
be Also
"The opponents Of the league are
speculating in the blood of the boys
and gambling on the peace OF the
world"
Separate treaties have failed to
prevent wars What the world needs
is something new, for it has outgrown
old remedies. And that something new,
the new serum, was contained in the
| hypodermic needle which President
Wilson carried to France.
Let us go to the root of the evil
to prevent war. Prevent the nations
from manufacturing arms in guam
titles greater than are required to
police their countries
The Valley of Life Walls
Honorable Helm then told Of the
wall built to prevent floods in the
Mississippi valley.
The league of nations" he said,
lis building in the valley OF life
walls so that arms OF people cannot
reach over and grab weapons TO
slaughter each other.
Voting Power Of u. >.
In speaking Of the voting power
of the various nations in the league
Honorable Heflin said one vote OF
America is just as powerful as six
votes of England, yes, as powerful
as SO or 39 The vote on any ques-
ilOH InuHI Dt btlNlN NN
cision can be made. So ii the vote on
any subject is 3s for and / against
the decision cannot be made.
The council of the league of ma
tions includes nine votes, cast by:
United States, Great Britain, France,
Belgium, Greece, Italy, Brazil and
Japan And the council cannot act
unless the nine votes as nine. Any
one question can be defeated by the
lack of one favoring vote.
Article Ten
Article ten of the league of ma
tions projects the integrity OF nations.
OUTLAW countries, which refuse to
Join the league and threaten to start
wars are brought to their knees by
the members of the league"
Honorable Heflin explained the ad-
vantages and the ease with which the
Boycott Act could easily prevent wars
by each member of the league sending
to the ports Of the belligerent five
warships, and cutting off from that
country export and import
Hughes and Taft favored the
league until they got into politics
up TO their necks.
THE league cannot take our boys
out of the country, and only con-
gress has the power and right TO de-
clare war.
The wall at the mouth of the
cave which harbors the horrid mon
sters of war Is really to shut In
that monster and prevent him iron,
making further depredatlons upon hui
manlty with the exception of one
block to complete IL, and the allies
are urging us to place that block In
the wall. Harding says that he will
tear down all the forty blocks Of the
. wall and build one of his own.
; The senator-elect then related the
tale OF negro who went to church
; with ham-bone inside his coat
and when the preacher pointed his
finger at him and made repeated re-
marks that you take that sin out
Of your BOSOM" referring to eccles.
iastical remarks, the ham-bone carrier
believed that the preacher knew of the
existence Of the ham-bone which he
was attempting to conceal and pulled
II out of his coat and held IL out to
the preacher saying, 'Heah II is, take
IT,
I'VE now have the opportunity "a
, put down the biggest war monster
that ever lived.
Il do not draw distinction between
! the we'll meaning Germans who suf.
, fered during the war. But do draw
the distinction between those who
! tried to stab our boys In the back
! like Berger did. You will hang your
, heads In shame II you elect to the
, senate a candidate who voted 10 re-.
tain Berger at Washington. How can
you vote to retain such man at
Washington
