and destruction of humanity.
an the truer sense, we are making
this fight as much for the next genera
ton as we are for this generation.
We have Just been in war, in which ten
million people lost their lives. Not
many years ago they were mere chill
dren, and if the new order which we
are attempting to establish in the
world had been adopted, twenty-five
or thirty-five years ago, the ten mil
lion soldiers who are in their graves
now would not be there. l mention
this in order that you may understand
what it is in the main am contending
for in this campaign.
"The old order in the world brought
war overnight. We are contending for
the new order in the world. We are
contending for an international ar
rangement-the League of Nations
under which controversies between
| nations will be submitted to discus
sion and to arbitration rather than
to war. We find in every State a
quickened and increasing interest in
the cause. / do not myself see how
men and women can find Indifference
of opinion upon that subject. Certin-
ly peace is more desirable than war.
The only way to gain peace in the
world is for the nations of the earth
to agree to stop maintaining large
standing armies and to stop building
battleships. If you disarm the world,
| the world cannot continue war.
"Now what is the objection to the
League and treaty? In the main it is
this: that we will be drawn into every
difference and controversy in Europe.
and that our soldier boys will be sent
overseas with each difficulty that
arises in the affairs of Europe or Asia
or Africa. There isn't a school boy
nor girl in America but who knows
that the power to declare wwar is
lodged with Congress. The President
hasn't any more right to send your
boys overseas to fight than you have
and not so much. No League can send
our soldier boys overseas-no Presi-
dent can do it-only Congress can
do it. And Congress is more safely
buttressed now in the ways and ideals
of Peace than it ever has been before
because Congress has in part now
boss now. The mother thought Of
America will be consulted in the flu
ture. / give you my assurance thai
with America in the League of Ma
tions here win be absolutely no danger

TRAIN ENROUTE.

To the Editor The Pennington Times,
Pennington, Mo.
Having covered every State of the
West on his campaign tour Governor
James M. Cox, of Ohio, Democratic
Candidate for the Presidency, is now
traversing the States Of Oklaho-
ma and Missouri. His visits here will
mark the completion of his Western
intinerary and after few days rest
he will renew his campaign in the
East. Governor Cox has Travelled
over ten thousand miles and on finish
ing his tour in this section of the
country will have visited % states,
speaking in the principal cities and
towns and from the rear platform of
his train. During this pilgrimage he
has made over two hundred speeches.
Everywhere he has been greeted by
record breaking crowds. Towns have
closed their business houses and
schools have been dismissed so that all
could be at the railroad stations to
hear his message. Never before has a
candidate for the highest office with
in the gift Of the people been greeted
by such an out-pouring of men and
women. Never before has a speaker
been given such close attention or been
so cordially received.
In the course of his speeches in this
territory, Governor Cox said:

to the men and women who have come
here to extend greeting. recog-
nize that in larger sense it is not
personal but that it is an indication Of

must be held always responsive to the
needs of the people. The progressive
believes that you should change your
governmental systems as conditions
on the farm, as conditions in the fac
tory, as conditions in the shops change
and you cannot hold the confidence of
the great mass in government unless
government continues to be useful to
the great mass of the people.
"These are the facts with reference
to present world wide conditions. l
ask you only to consult your con-
sciences. We must vote this fall as
Americans. Our intelligence must
sway us. We must consult our con-
sciences because after all it is the
voice of God and if you do that then
the mandate will have been so i'm
pressive that politicians in the fu-
ture will know better than to stand
in the way of normal development of
civilization and free government of

POLAND'S STARVATION.
By Captain Frederick Il. johnson, of
the American Red Cross Com
mission to Poland.

starving population depends directly
on the interest and help of outside
nations until national conditions can
be improved materially. Poland is
doing all that she can for her people,
but her present resources do not be-
gin to meet the need. Until the new
nation gets on her feet, it is the SOL
emn obligation Of American relief or
CARNATIONS to keep up their splendid
efforts without relaxation.
have visited desolate communities
in the Department of the East, that
vast strength Of barren country lying
east of the River Bug, whose people
were literally saved from extinction
through the vigorous ministration Of
these relief organizations. The amount
Of humanitarian good that American
effort and American money can do in
Poland is limited only by the extent
OF American generosity. There seems
no limit to the field to be covered.
In Novogrodek, for instance, that
was perhaps harder hit by famine and
want than any other single commun-
ity in the Department Of the East, the
combined efforts Of the American Re-
lief Administration, the American
Red Cross and the American Jewish
Relief agencies resulted not only in
the distribution of vast amount Of
purely emergency relief, in the form
Of food and clothing, but also in the
establishment Of number Of perma-
nent institutions that were vitality
needed.
Before the Americans got to Novo-
grodek the people Of that town and
the surrounding country were in a
condition pitiable beyond description.
They were dying Of hunger and dis
ease. Particularly sad was the plight
Of the little children and the old peo-
pie without families. Local egort
brought little result in getting homes
Of even the crudest sort established,
for the inhabitants had absolutely
nothing to work with.
The combined egort Of the American
relief organization soon affected
change. 0rphanages and old peoples
homes were quickly started, with not
only decent shelter for these home
less and helpless people, but beds and
blankets, and serviceable clothing to
take the place Of their vermin-infest-
ed rags, and food in at least sufficient
quantities to keep body and soul to-
gether.
The smaller children, many Of them
for the first time in their lives, got
real milk to drink-condensed milk, il
is true, but sweet and clean from
great American canneries, and con-
tanning the nourishment that they had
lacked so utterly. The aged found
asylums Of rest and comfort, where
they might regain some portion Of
their strength, or at leas; pass the
rest Of their years in escape from the
nightmare Of existence that had long
haunted them. And there were hos
pitfalls to check the awful inroads Of
the dreaded typhus.
Novogrodek now has its Jewish old
folks home and another for the aged
and INDECENT Christians. 0rphanages
for both creeds II has likewise, and
