Fulton County tribune. (Wauseon, Ohio) 1883-1925, 1920-09-17

I am a member of woman's club
which discusses questions of the day
There is so much high-brow stuff
being written about the League of
Nations that l think it would be
helpful to men and women alike if
you would give US in homely fashion
statement of what it is all about.
A New Voter
Well try. And if we address the
statement to married women, it is
because the homely dissertation may
best be applied to the wives and
mothers of the nation.
Suppose then, Mrs. Voter, that for
number of years you have been
happy and contented in a prosperous
home with loving husband who
has lavished every care upon you;
suppose ITO this home whalse love
and peace reign your husband re-
turned some evening with tidings
like this; that he has Joined new
kind of lodge which is to make Ger.
tain the peace of the community
that under the rules of this. lodge
all your problems henceforth are K
be settled, not between you ant
your husband but are to be taker
out of your hands and settled fol
you by council of this new lodge
which is to be composed of represen
tatives from the family across tls
street. from the family next door
and from the family around the cor
ner.
| That would be bad enough, WOULDN'T
lit! But suppose, in addition to thi:
that not only were your affairs t.
be regulated by this new kind o.
lodge, but that if any other famil,
in your community had troubles. tn,
lodge was to take hold of them also
through the council; and if the othel
family wasn't satisfied to have it
affairs thus regulated, you and you
nelghbors were to be obliged t,
force them to accept your interfer
once, no matter whether you wer
concerned or not in the other fam
/ ily's affairs, or wanted to mix in n,
matter even if the other family wer
your friends of long standing witt
whom you sympathized.
How would you like lodge hk
that? Would you want your hus
band to join it and would you fol
low him in?
Well, you know what interference
in other peoples affairs frequently
IN fact, almost invariably leads t
Suppose little further; for instanc
that in carrying Que the order of thi
lodge your husband went across tn
I street and your son went with hi1
and other womens husbands an
sens went, and the neighbor acros
the street, feeling that he was abb
to settle his own affairs without fol
elgn interference, came out with
shotgun. as he would have a perfee

THE LEAGUE Of NATIONS
Question From Woman Voter Answered in Home.
ly But Direct and Plain Manner by the Editor of
The Ohio Republican.

right to do, and your husband and
your son were carried back to you
dead, the victims of lodge quarrel
in which neither you nor your hus-
band nor your son had any interest.
/ What would you think of that
lodge as a conservator of the peace
of the community?
Wouldn't you say that, after all,
you had been better off without
membership in such a lodge, that be-
fore your husband joined you and he
together had kept the peace with all
your neighbors, and had never en-
gagged in a quarrel that was not a
righteous quarrel, involving your
own sacred interests, and that the
peace and happiness and general
welfare of your home would have
been better served had your husband
continued to attend to his own affairs,
praise God and do his duty as a citi-
zen?
| But someone will say on the facts
as stated, your husband didn't have
to go across the street and mix in
to go across the street and mix in
the affairs of his neighbor with the
shot gun. He could have exercised
his legal right to keep away.
Certainly, but we are presuming
in this case that your husband is an
honorable man; and that when he
joined the lodge and took the obliga-
ton he meant to fulfill it. Other
wise he wouldn't have joined. He
didn't have to join, but when he did
join willingly, ne assumed the obli-
cation to go across the street when
the lodge ordered him, shotgun or no
shotgun, and you as an honorable
wife and mother, wouldn't have had
him do otherwise with his word of
honor pledged. The mistake he made
was when he joined the lodge, when
] he assumed the obligation, when he
| pledged his word.
! Well, that seems to be the case
! OF the League of Nations, put in as
homely way as we are able to
present it.
The United States doesn't have to
go into Wilson's League of Nations.
We can continue to mind our own
business, the while we discharge our
obligations to all mankind. We can
i consent to serve on an international
jury at any time we are summoned
in judicial proceeding such as
Senator Harding suggests as a sub
stitute for this League, to pass
, judgment on an offending state, on
) just such jury as your husband,
; under other circumstances, might
d have been called to serve in the
/ case of the man across the way with
J that shotgun.
: But if we do join the League, If
: we do pledge our word, our national
/ honor requires that we abide by the
t consequences, whatever they may be

NEWS FROM A NEIGHBOR


Mr.. H. j. Stern, of Dayton, Ohio,
back from abroad, says he "wouldn't t
trade one corner of the United States
for all of Europe" We hope he will
lose no time in transmitting this in
formation to his fellowtownsman
Jimmy" Cox, no familiarity intend
ed; he publicly invites everyone to
call him Jimmy.
The Democratic candidate seems
bent on giving all that is worth while
in United States for little corner
of Europe. Mr.. Stern, of Dayton, may
give Cox an idea of what Americans
think of this proposition, as neigh
! borly hint of what Dayton, as well a:
every other section of the United
States will make clear on Novembel
second.

NOTHING MORE TO SAY

Gentlemen wonder at the silence of
Mr.. Bryan. There is no mystery about
it. Bryan, at San Francisco, said of
Mr.. Cox; "His Selection would turn
the White House over to those who
defied the government and hold the
law in contempt. (Why should any
Democrat be willing to support man
whose nomination would insult the
conscious of the nation?"
What more is there for Mr.. Bryan
to saw?

BUYING BACK THE
GOVERNMENT

There may, after all be some
force to Governor Cox's charge that
these workmen and small business
men who are contributing a couple
of dollars each to the Republican cam
paign fund, are engaged in plot to
buy the government. Cox didn't mean
it just this way, but their definite OBJ
ject probably is to buy the govern
ment back from the autocracy which
has seized control of it and won't let
