YOU the truth about the League OF

false. There is nothing in the cove

provides.
"Those who drew the covenant of

Motion Says Wilson

An optimistic view of the general
Industrial situation in America was
expressed by Thomas e. Wilson.
president of the Institute of Ameri-
can Meat Packers, in an address be-.
fore the Investment Bankers Asso-
citation of America. He referred To
recent declines in prices Of many
commodities and said the process Of
adjustment was Gin full notion
"The pressing necessity of the
present." he said, ''is to maintain a
courageous and optimistic morale.
The descent from the heights of alb
normal production to the normal
levels of peace times should be
reached by graduation and not by
perpendicular drops. No industry
upon which large bodies of labor are
dependent for a livelihood or upon
which considerable number Of pror
ducers are dependent for market
for their raw material has moral
right to close its doors in such
time as this merely to prevent
shrinkage in accumulated surplus or
for the purpose of limiting produce
ten so as to create artificial values
for materials on hand.
"There may he pessimists here
here and there who are apprehensive
that only a panic can result from
the extraordinary world conditions
created by war In my opinion, such
catastrophe is not probs} lie SO
long as the true American spirit
continues to animate our institutions.
"The manufacture in Injuries is
being curtailed. The spending fever
as abating. Commodity prices are
falling and further deflation seems
to be in progress. Favorable crop
reports ceme from every section.
There is great encouragement to be
drawn from the fact that there has
been no substantial decrease in bank
deposits during the last few months
Individual savings accounts show
marked Improvement"
Mr.. Wilson said that labor was
beginning to realize that ''if it is to
profit permanently by the increase
in wages which it has. received, it
must increase the value and the
purchasing power of the sum added
to~the pay envelope by lowering the
cost of commodities through in
creased production"
Labor and industry" he added,
SHOULD recognize that their inter
ests are mutually dependent and
should en1eavor to cooperate in the
solution of their problems."N
He said that many commodities
were being sold mt loss and raw
material in many instances at less

Franklin D. Roosevelt
Makes Great Speech

Central and Eastern Kentucky and
Montgomery county as well were
highly favored and honored on last
Friday when Hon. Franklin ID.
Roosevelt, of New York, Democratic
nominee for the vice presidency Of
the United States, addressed great
crowd Of representative voters,
women and men, here. The crowd
was large and attentive. Mr.. Roose-
welt is a man of pre-possessing per-
sonality, is easy of diction and logi-
cal in his reasoning. His expressions
were fine in that they we're plain and
free from oratorical flights. He
showed close study and we are free
to say this speech of Mr.. Roosevelt
was convincing from beginning to
finish, free from that uncouthness
which is the makeup Of many politi-
cal deliverances. In a most pleasing
way he showed the fallacy of Gov
ernor Morrow's partisanship In a
stump speech in which he had
undertaken to show that under the
League of Nations America would be
in continuous war when as a matter
Of fact this joint instrument would
serve as a war preventive.
, Relative to Article 10 of the
League of Nations Mr.. Roosevelt
urged every voter to read carefully
this article and closed by asking
this question, why is it that thirty
nine civilized nations in the world
have accepted it and only four stand
out against it, namely: Revolution
airy Mexico, unspeakable Turkey,
Bolshevik Russia and the United
States of America. Which company
would you choosei
OF Senator Harding, he said: He
is a member of the Foreign Relations
Committee in the Senate of the
United States and has been for two
years, and when forced to answer
the question of what is your foreign
policy he in substance said, 81 have
no views on this subject"
Relative to the World War Mr..
Roosevelt said, we knew we would
win, for we had faith in our boys
and win we did, and as we and our
boys felt then, so do we feel now,
that there was more i'm this war than
to cSnquer, that somehow there
would be an agreement entered into
by the peoples Of the world so strong
and binding that there would be no
more wars, and for this the Demo.

leader, are contending today. 1t was

and was gladly received.

"The issues of the present cam
paign are of such tremendous i'm
portancc and of such far reaching
significance for the influence Of the
country and the development Of its
future relations, and l have neces-
sarily had so much to do with their
development, that l am sure you
will think it natural and proper
that I should address to you a few
words concerning them.
Everyone sincerely believing in
government by the people must re-
joice at the turn affairs have taken
in respect to this election. The cleo
ton is to be genuine national ref
erendum. The determination of
great policy upon which the influ-,
ence and authority Of the United
States in the world must depend is
not to he left to groups Of politicians
in either party, but is to be referred
to the people themselves for a SOW
ereign mandate to their representa-
tives. They are to instruct their own
government what they wish done.
"1'he chief questions that are put
to you are, of course, these:
''Do you. want your country's
honor indicated and the treaty at
Versailles ratifiedf Do you in par
ticular approve of the League Of
Nations as organized and empower
cd in that treaty, and do you wish to
soc the United States play its re-
.spsnsible part in itf
'You have been grossly misled
with regard to the treaty, and prin-
cipally with regard to the proposed
character of the League of Nations,
by those who have assumed the Sc
rious responsibility of opposing it.
They have gone so far that those
who have spent their lives as have
spent mine in familiarizing them
selves with the history and tradi-
tons and policies Of the nation, must
stand amazed at the gross ignorance
and i,npudent audacity which has
led them to attempt to invent an
'Americanism' of their own, which
has no foundation whatever in any
of tho authentic traditions Of the
government.
"Amoricanism, as they conceive
it. reverses the whole process Of the
last few tragical years. 1t would
substitute America for Prussia in the
policy Of isolation and defiant seq
regation. Their conception of the
dignity Of the nation and its interest
is that we should stand apart and
watch for opportunities to advance
our own interests, involve ourselves
in no responsibility for the mainte-
nance Of the rights in the world or
for the continued vindication Of any
Of the things for which we entered
the war to fight.
"Thc conception Of the great Gre
ators Of the government was abso-
lutcly opposite to this. They thought
Of America as the light of the world,
as created 10 lead the world in the
assertion Of rights of peoples and
the rights Of free nations, as des-
tined 10 set a responsible example
to all the world of what free gov
-e-r'~ont is and can do for the main
.termce of right standards, both ma
'icr and International This light

semen y. They wodld relegate the
= States to Subordinate role

FOUR NARROWLY
 ESCAPE DEATH
Case Where Gas Meter Probably Saved
 Lives.

A case where a quarter gas meter probably saved lives was uncovered this morning when Dr. B. J. Burns ot the Emergency hospital, responding to a call from S5 PiXley place, found Mrs. Julia Moran, her daughter Mar celia, 10, and sons, William, two, and Stephen, IF, overcome from gas and in a rather serious con ndition.
 Investigation proved that a tube connecting with a hot water at- tachment in the kitchen had become 1oosened during the night permitting gas to escape and only the stoppage of the flow when the quarters worth ended, saved the lives of the mother and the three children.
 Artificial respiration was admins tered by the doctor and the family left there. Mrs. Moran was barely able this morning to rap on the floor with her slipper bringing the tenant of the floor beneath her who opened the windows and called the ambu- lance.

WOULD CONTROL
 OIL IMPORTS

PsDris, April 9.---Importations of oil would be subjected to governm ent control and oil would be sold in France at prices fixed by the cabinet under the terms of a section of the tax bill being considered in the cham Der of deputies. The limited mon opo1y in oil now held by the govern ment would be extended under the first of next year.
 Discussion of the proposal in the chamber this week has brought out the fact that France was in grave danger during the war of facing 2 shortage of fuel and Iubricating oils and that Premier Clemenceau had to . appeal directly to President Wilson on two occasions.
 ! Profits on oil imported during the war were very large, it was charged and there was sharp criticism of the | Standard Oil Company and the Brit ish Shell Corporation in this connec- ton. It developed, however, there were confidential phases of the oil I situation which could not be discussed | in the open chamber and the matter was referred to the tax committee fol further consideration.
 It has been proposed in the cham
