vent all wars. At that time every
body, Republicans and Democrats
alike, endorsed his fourteen points
which comprised the cardinal prin-
ciples later embodied in the League
of Nations. While publicly advo-
eating these fourteen points, both
before Congress and by letters to
the people and by messages to our
allies in Europe, there was not a
voice raised against single one of
them, not even by Lodge or his Re-
publican cohorts, or so-called Dem
ocratic henchmen! These fourteen
points were universally approved
and Endorsed by all parties, both
Republican and Democratic. So in
tensely interested in the adoption
of covenant of League of Nations
and so determined was he to have
such league formed, so as thereby
to prevent all future wars, either at
home or abroad, that he, himself,
went as delegate from this country
to the peace conference at Paris in
order to see to the formation of
such league. After spending
months in Paris at the peace con-
ference he returned home and
brought with him the covenant of
a League of Nations. l have read
this covenant time and time again,
and if there ever was a covenant
that will prevent wars among ma
tions 1t is that document. 1t Is not
perfect, as the President will agree,
and neither was the Constitution of
the United States perfect when first
adopted. 1t was SO defective that it
has had to be adopted eighteen times

Nomination of Delegates.

To The Commercial:
The Democrats of the county must
bear in mind and must not forget
that before a great while there will
be held at the courthouse in Union
City a Democratic county conven-
ton, which will select delegates tc
attend a State convention to be held
in Nashville, which convention will
select delegates from, the State to
attend the national Democratic con-
vention to be held in the city of
San Francisco, Cal, when Demo
cratic candidate for President will
be nominated and Denocratic plat
form adopted, on which such can
d'date will make the race for Presi-
dent.
1t is of paramount Importance
that the Democrats of Obion County
do not neglect but attend the county
convention at the courthouse in I'm
ion City.
1t is we'll known to all reading
Democrats in the county that the
Republican party, both in the U. s.
Senate and in the House of Repre-
sentatives, has been making vicious
and uncalled-for, an outrageous, at
tack on our Democratic President
and that these partisan Republicans
have been Joined in their inexcusa-
BILE assaults on him by some sore
head, so-called Democrats in the
Senate, among them by one of the
Senators from Tennessee.
Woodrow Wilson is the second
man that the Democrats have elected
President since the Civil War. He
recommended to Congress and had
passed into laws more constructive
beneficial legislation, which has
been productive of more real good
to all the people than any President
has ever been able to have enacted
into law during the past century.
This was done during his first term
of office, and while in office during
his second term he led the people of
this nation thru the greatest war
ever known in the history of man
kind and brought our armies vic
torious thru many bloody battles.

in Mr.. Wilson. Even now, while
this is being written, there is Sc
cret stealthy movement on foot in
Tennessee, Led and encouraged by
the renegade Democrats to annihi-
late the confidence of the people of
this State in the President and to
prevent the Endorsement of his adj
ministration and the League of Ma
tions by our State Democratic con-
vention at Nashville. 1t is their
purpose to endorse those Democrats
who fought him in the Senate and
did their best to destroy the League

Will the Democrats of Obion Coun-
ty be a party to such a nefarious
scheme? Will the Democrats of
this county sit still and allow these
men, who are disloyal to the party
and to our Democratic President, to
indorse thir malicious conduct and
speech in the Senate in order to de-
stroy our Democratic President and
kill the League of Nations?
Mr.. Wilson is our President. We
elected him. He led us triumphant
ly in peace and as iur leader in
bloody war carried our armies to "a
glorious victory. Therefore it is the
duty of the Democrats of Obion
County to stand by him and see to
it that no delegate goes to the ma
tional Democratic convention who
is not in favor of indorsing his en-
tire administration, including the
League of Nations. He does not ask
to be nominated for third term as
but God knows that as a
third termer he is much better ma
terial and safer than any Republican
now seeking the office, or any Re-
publican who has so bitterly criti-
cised him in the Senate or elsewhere.
Whet the Democrats should do in
their county convention is to indorse
the entire administration of the
and especially to indorse
the League of Nations, and to keep
off the delegation to San Francisco
any man who is even uncertain and
not outspoken for such Endorsement.

the League of Nations, then let |

rotary of agriculture: FF
THE farmers OF America have again justified the faith of the
nation IN their ability to meet its requirements of food, feed and raw
materials for clothing. They have produced this year, in the face
of enormous difficulties, the largest harvest in the history of Ameri,
can agriculture, with a single exception"
Truly the American farmer makes a fine Santa Claus, one who
delivers his gift5 at all times of the yearl r.F3 H r
But there is another side to this story, according TO Secretary
Meredith. Upon the threshold Of their marketing season the farm
es encountered "A sharp decline in prices. This covered nearly every
thing the farmers had 20 sell, as the secretaryis report points out but
sit did not materially affect the articles they had TO buy. For labor
and materials used in harvesting they were compelled to pay prices
substantially as high as those prevailing during planting and cult
fation."
Santa Claus Farmer gave his country a total output greater than
that of 1918, and received $300OOO0OO0 less for il.
OF course it is too much to expect farmers TO continue IN their
present phianthrOpc mood, for Il isn't good business TO receive less
pay for a larger production. Some time the farmer will stop being a
Santa Claus. He is now studying ways and means of retiring from
his Santa Claus role. The department of agriculture is firm in its
belief that farming must become a paying business and not a mere
Santa Claus job.
1--WE must see to il that the road between the producer and the
consumer is open and direct and the farmers have a free and com
petitive market, - reads Secretary Merediths annual report.
g we must omit no effort to improve our market machinery and
practices and TO furnish necessary market informt ion TO the farmer
so that he may take full advantage of modern business methods in
the distribution of his commodities

THE steamer Tuscan Star arrives in New York with a cargo of 1885,
100000 eggs from IIankow, China.
But housewives are in no danger of having these eggs passed
OF on them as the product of American hens. Chinese eggs are
broken before being exported. They are then frozen into a solid
mass, sometimes scrambled, often with the yoks and whites separate.
II would drive a retail dealer mad TO sci. such a product to the
canny woman with a market basket, so the Chinese eggs go to baker
les and similar trades.
F~amlylamp philosophers will wonder why the Chinese do not
export their eggs without breaking them, and enter into keen compet-

NIHEN the resources of IA business are decreasing it is in II bad
w way. VI il S a business worth saving, the cause for the shrink
age receives immediate attention. Something is done about it.
Our principal resource here in Albuquerque has been shrinking
Tor some years past This resource is our irrigable tributary farm
ing land. We have been fully aware of the shrnkage, but we have
done nothing about it.
% An extract from the irrigation census of New Mexico, published
m Fridays Herald shows that Bernalilo county irrigated acreage
decreased two per cent during the ten.year period. This is not much
of a decrease. The significant fact is that there has been a decrease
at all, when practically every other county in the state with irrigable
acreage has shown substantial increases.
p The Albuquerque drainage district, the only practical project for
reelaiming land in our valley that has been put forward during the
past ten years, will just about overcome this two per cent decrease
from 1909 to 1919.
The reason for our decrease in irrigated farm land, of course, is
lack Of drainage and the constant encroachment of the water table.
We have only to go out and box to see what is happening. The adj
vance OF the water table is now so fast as to present its menace to
the naked eye.
Another ten years of neglect, of inactivity and of the old time
system of waiting Tor the other fellow to do it, will find our still i'm
portant agricultural resources wiped out-and practically irrecam-
able. ar
Shey are becoming a menace not only to the farming land that is left,
but also to our usefulness as a h~ealth-resort. We stand to lose two
resources in one by further neglect; and the two are our principal
resources.
