The proceeding seeks to secure injunction to

from action to enforce the amendment

that the parties in interest the same now as in

THE PRESIDENTS GREAT FOLLY.

The folly of President Wilson in forcing the
League of Nations n political issue should now
be apparent his best friends. This comment has
reference to the right wrong of the presidents
fight for the league however
He demanded a Solemn referendum" He
wanted yes and no" vote from the American peo-
pie mandate to congress.
What did he get? On the one hand republican
platform broad enough for everybody from re-
dictionary to mild reservationst; the other hand,
a democratic platform broad enough for everybody
from Americanizing reservatonists to straight rat
ificatonists
The net result is that no one can possibly deter
mine what sort of a league if any the vote of the
people demands even if there other issue
involved in the election
Added to this is the confusion of having a re-
publican candidate for president who voted for rat
ification with reservations and democratic cand-
date without a record a definite expression on
the League of Nations Governor Cox is presumed
to be lukewarm on the subject. He is certainly
without experience and probably without deep con-
victlons upon foreign relations ..
These two things muss that issue up badly
that from until November will not be time
enough to iron it out The league issue is not clean
cut and the verdict of the people will be meaning
less.
In addition to all this, there are the more domi-
nant issues of government extravaganza, the high
cost of living pressing domestic reconstruction prob
lens and return to n constitutional system.
In the minds of millions of voters the league is
sue will be in total eclipse. Their vote will be de-
cided by other issues than the league question
All of which illustrates President Wilson's
departure from constitutional methods. Our
American system provides no method for effec-
tive referendum. 1t is not intended to provide one
If, in the opinion Of majority of the people ref
erendum should be provided should proceed in
constitutional manner to amend our fundamental
law Across-lot methods dangerous precedent
and. usually an ineffective means to end
We will go step farther and express the opin-
affecting foreign relations They IRE the delicate
and too complex for most of to have safe judg-
ment upon them.
Our form of government is republican. We Sc
lect presumably qualified representatives and trust
them to legislate for The democratic form of
government, where the people decide each ques-
ton, is not appropriate in any but small nations,
such as the Swiss
The president hazards the upsettng of sys
tenn in order to win certain contention which is
close to his heart That he has failed is beside the
question.
Our safety lies in sticking to the constitution
and altering its system only by the method pro-
vided in the instrument itself. Thus only the
people scrutinize each proposed change and pass
upon its desirabity. BY the presidents often used
methods we drift away from our constitutional
moorings without well defined port in view. This
is both dangerous and unwise.

BRYAN QUOTES HARDING.


Fuitor Morning Journal:
81 am not a prohibitionist, MIR.
President, and have never pretend
ed to be. | 90 not approach this
question from a moral viewpoint,
because ! am unable to see it as
a great moral question. Do You
recognize this statement, Mr.. Edi-
tor? 1t is taken from the speech
of Senator Harding, made in the
United States senate during the
consideration of the prohibition
amendment and can be found in
the Congressional Record OF Au-
gust 4, 1917. You have devoted
considerable editorial space in this
mornings paper giving us your.
opinion of Governor Cox and the.
rum question, supporting 1t with,
extracts from statements of Mr..
Bryan. As you seem to prefer to
discuss what you think is the atti-
tude of Governor Cox upon the.
prohibition question, | am desirous
of allowing your readers to- get the
view of Senator Harding upon the
liquor question and in giving this
information to your readers am
taking 1t from Bryan's Commoneri
of June, 1920, and am having 1t
printed as a paid advertisement.
AS between the two vets, who
will the prohibitionists wish TO
have serve as president of the
United States and appoint the off
GERS who are to enforce the laws?
Senator Harding, who stated u am
no prohibitionist. | am unable to]
see it as a great moral question"
81 do not think a prohibition
a amendment will be effective? and
il this amendment is submitted and
receives the sanction of three-
fourths Of the general assemblies
then, IL my tenure Of office still OBJ
tains, / am willing to go further to
make it effective through a pros
cess of compensation to the bust
ness destroyed" :,
or Governor Cox, who has stood
for law enforcement and who stat
ed that there is no difference be-
tween neglect of the law by public
officers and an attack against our
institutions by the bolsheviki'
You will note that while Senator
Harding is strong for compensation
to the ruined wine and beer inter-
ests. he had, no thought for the
ruined lives and homes.
Yours very truly,

THE IGNORANT WHO GO WRONG.

Think this over. Iowa is very popnlous state
1t has high rank to good schools and education
of its people. 1t has penitentiary the census OF
which is not stated.
/ But the inmates almost exclusively persons
who did not develop minds and talent through
school training, work and study. The warden has
made public the information that only three of the
eonvicts ever went to college and the three did not
graduate. Not single prisoner graduated from
even high school, and less than a dozen ever
in such school Most of them did not advance
beyond the sixth grade in the public schools.
If you for keeping the youth out of iails and
penentiaries and have them carry on, that they
are not limited to smattering of education.
The power to think right Is safeguard for man.
kind and for the nation.
The schools stimulate the perceptive and delib-
erative faculties. The mind of man who has had
no education is largely the mind of child.
1t is dormant, undeveloped and he will commit
offenses through montreal Zaton, Or wrong thinking
that even high school boy would not approach.

THINK 1T OVER.

A copy of the Concrete Highway Magazine, a
publication devoted to concrete road construction,
has come into hands. It is the June-July num-
Der of this year. 1t contains illustrated article
on the ronds of Bunconbe county, North Carolina,
which shows that that county was wrongly named.
1t is county of beautiful concrete roads and
mental concrete bridges None would suspect either
of the Carolnas to contain up-to date COM
munity as indicated
This comment is provoked, however, by the in
formation that the county has the compassion form
of government and is controlled by three commits
sioners devoting full time to it's affairs.
Probably that explains their roads and bridges
just as form of county government explains ours
Running a county is business The League of
Nations has nothing whatever to do with successful
county administration
The political distribution of jobs breeds ncom-
potency in administration

To Preserve Currants Without
Cooking Wash, stem and meas
ure the currants and allow 1 pound
and a quarter of sugar to every
pound Of currants. Crush the fruit
and sugar, taking care to see that
the skin of every currant is broken.
Have jars steriliZing in boiling
water and take out one by one as
they are needed, emptying them of
water and filling them to overflow
ing with the currants and sugar.
Seal alright, as for any preserved
fruit.
Never gather or buy currants for
Jelly 7making just after n heavy
rain, as they will take much longer
to cook to the jellyfng point, and
the color will not be as good If this
is done.
/ receive many letters asking for
recipes for preserving this fruit,
many of them stating that they are
not popular with the family when
served on the table, fresh from the
bush, because of their tartness:
