WHERE S THE LEAGUE?

Girls and women are volunteering for army
service in Poland in answer to the call to repel
the bolshevik attack. Poland is member Of
the league of nations, but not only does the
league refuse to preserve her territorial integ-
rity as its members. are obligated to do under
article ten of the covenant, but England is at
this moment actively engaged in trading with
Poland's enemies, the soviets, and furnishing
them material for carrying on the wal. Mean
while Mr.. Wilson has removed the restrictions
on trade between the United States and Russia.
There never was such a monument Of human
hypocrisy as the league of nations covenant, the
obligations Of which are celebrated in the
breaking rather than in the keeping.

sWEETENING EUROPE.

For the nine months ended March thirty
first, 1920, sugar exports from the United States
totaled 1,03O,571, 794 pounds. For the same
period in 1919 they were 543,703,767 pounds,
and in 1918, 5O9,938, e87 pounds. Although the
country was at peace, had no big army III
Europe, and was not compelled to furnish alb
normal quantities Of food supplies to the allies,
twice much sugar was sent abroad than dur
ing the war when 100000 American soldiers
were in France and we were exerting every eff
fort to send aid to the allies There is evidently
something radically wrong, and the principal
trouble is the failure of the president to buy
the Cuban crop not only for refinement but for
consumption in the United States.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
THE FINER THOUGHT,

How fine it is at night TO say:
Il have not wronged soul today.
have not by a word or deed,
In any breast sowed angers seed,
CT caused fellow being pain;
Nor is there on my crest stain
That shame has left. In honor's way
With head erect, I've lived this day.
When night slips down and day departs
And rest returns to weary hearts
How fine it is to close the book
Or records for the day, and look
Once more along the Travelled mile
and find that all has been worth while,
To say: In honor, I have toilet,
Nv plume is spotless and unsolsd"
Yet cold and stern z man may be
Retaining his integrity;
And he may pass from dag % day
A spirit dead. in living clay
Observing strictly moral laws.
Yet serving bu1 ssz1sa cause
So IL is not enough 70 say
u hare not stopped 10 shame today
IL is a finer, uo51e- 1oagA-
When day is done aad might has brought
The commemorative hours and EWsst
And rest 10 weary hearts End feet
If man can stand IN truth AID say
Il have been useful here to-day
Back there is one I CHANGED 10 see
With hope new born because Of me.
tThis day in honor / have toiled
NV shining crest is still unsoiled;
But on the mile leave behind
Is one who says that was kind;
And someone huns a cheerful song
Because CHANGED to come along
Sweet rest at night that man shall OWN
Who has not lived his day alone.

regrets that the democratic conyen-
ton in San Francisco, elected TO
emulate the spineless tactics of the
republican convention and pussy
foot on the question of the liberall-
cation of the Volsted enforcement
act
Columbus Junction Safeguard: Sen
iator Harding is goi lg to be popular
as a presidential candidate with the
vast army OF ordinary people. who
like man with a lot of common
sense and not too many theoretical
and high falutin' thrills. The com
mon people who are going to settle
the election do not live in marble
palaces, ride in luxuriously furnished
llimousines, rise at noon and go to
bed at a. m.

only democrat who does not appear
to be tickled TO death is Evangelist
Bryan, who admittedly is hard to

believes that those democrats from

Meredith should have to eat cold crow

had as many boneheaded plays at any
state delegation at San Francisco.
! Humboldt Republican: Bryan says
his heart has gone. He might add
that many others who considered
themselves democratic feel the same
way. The old saying that politics
makes queer bedfellows is just as true
today as it was fifty years ago.

IRISH PROBLEM
CAUSES FIGHT
| To Break Out in the Amer
lean Federation Of La
Dor Convention
IRISH SYMPATHIZERS
TO OPPOSE PLANS
To Call Upon Congress to
Ratify Without Res
ervations

Montreal, June 9.--lrish sympathiz-
ers in the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor here to-
day declared war on the league of III
lions ratification program recommend
ed by the executive council. They as
serted they were against any cove
nant that binds the American peo-
pie by solemn obligation TO respect
and preserve the territorial integrity
of Great Britain.
The Irish delegates, headed by Dan
Mackillop of Los Angeles, have or
ganized to fight the executive coun-
ellis proposal that the federation call
upon Congress to ratify the league
without reservation.
"Ireland's hopes for republic 90
aglimmering, if the league is ratified, F"
said Mackillop. ''Irishmen can never
approve covenant that denies the
small nations of the world the right
of self determination.
The national federation of federal
employees asked the convention to call
upon Congress TO IRE classify the civil
service and adopt wage scale com
mensurate with the skill, training and
responsibility involved in the work
performed, and with just relation to
the increased cost of living"
The convention also has before it
report on profiteering, which disclosed
that shoes that sold in 1913 for S4
are now sold for Sl2. while the increase
in labor cost has been only 40 cents.
Practically the only persons proceed
ed against under the Lever act were
the miners, who were seeking relief
from the high cost of living, the re

CONVENTION
ROLL MADE UP
Credentials Committee Sus-
tanned Rulings in All
Except Three Cases
LOWDEN AND WOOD
LOSE 2 TO EACH OTHER
Some Of the Contests May
Be Carried to Floor of
the Convention

| Chicago, June 9.--Working all night
at forced draft speed, the credentials
committee completed the permanent
roll of the Republican national conyen-
ton at 4:30 this morning. Previous rul-
ings on contests by the national com
mittee were sustained in all but three
cases.
In disposing of 1903 appeals from
/ the decisions made last week by the
national committee two delegates were
I taken from Governor Lowden, --one in
Georgia and one in Tennessee and given
to General Wood, but in the fifth Mis-
souri, kansas City, district, where the
national committee refused to seat any
one, the credentials committee seated
two Lowden men, leaving the standing
of the two candidates unchanged.
Robert r. Church, negro Lowden
delegate, was the Tennessee case in
which the national committee was
ovcrruled. He was ousted in favor of
Charles h. Quinn, white, instructed for
Wood, when Quinn's counsel declared
the Church faction had bolted the dis
trrt convention"
There is probability Of further bat
ties on contested seats when the report
of the credentials committee is laid be-
fore the convention. In some cases, in
Guiding the Tennessee case, efforts to
overrule the committee by vote of the
convention were planned As the report
does not embody any serious departure
from the temporary roll or affect
enough r5toes to make it an important
object for supporters of any candidates
to override the committee, however, no
long struggle was expected.
