port from his paper based upon the de- sire for return to 'normalcy' under which his publication sought to prosper Curtis Publishing Company was found guilty of the use of unfair and illegal methods of competition, and of violation of the antitrust law prohibiting use of certain tying end' contracts, and of vio- lation of the federal trade commission ruling? The complaint in each case was based upon the fact that the Curtis Publishing Company made contracts with wholesale distributors which pre- vented them from handling other publi- cations without permission from the Cur tis Publishing Company, and which pro- hibited the sale of all competing publi- cations.
 FORCED TO DESIST
 The plan of the Gurus Publishing Company was with the intent and had the effect of largely increasing circula- ton of Curtis publications, and unfairly decreasing circulation of competing pub ications to the end that the Curtis Pub- fishing Company would derive large ad- vertising rates by reason of tremendous circulation. These unfair practices pre- vented competing publishers from obtain- ing distribution of their publications through the ordinary distributing chan nels and forced them to distribute through channels which did not have any facilities for & wide distribution. Proof for these unlawful practices was found by the federal trade commission after extensive hearings on July 21, 1919, and the Curtis Publishing Company was forced to cease and desist.
 Here is the harm of the reactionary desire for return to normalcy. The pro- tection of the antitrust act is insuffi- cient, but the federal trade commission has authority to investigate the facts and to issue rulings thereon. Eevery un- fair business in Amefican is, therefore. against me, because [ do not stand for the return to the old order under which the strong prospered at the expense of the weak and under which big business grew bigger, while small businesses were forced out of existence.

"The insidious purpose of the Satu-- day Evening Post. cloaked under non partisan methods for the past decade and more, has finally been brought to light" Governor Cox declared, stating that it had made misstatements only four days before election, when it was impossible to correct them

The governors statement follows:
 TEXT OF STATEMENT

'When early in the week l calltd at tention to the guerilla tactics of the Sat urday Evening Post on the basis of it's Iast-minute attack on me, the response of Mir. Lorimer, it's editor, was that my action was unethicaL l am perfectly willing to leave the decison on ethics to the voters of America, many of whom have been lifetime readers of the Sat urday Evening post, and whom from the time of it's origin nave looked upon IL as a household journal, to which they rem dered devotion because it took no part in partisan politics. The question or ethics would seem to lie in what America has learned to look upon as square deal. and when a non-partisan journal becomes partisan in it's very last issue four days before an election, at tline when it is impossible for misstatemenfs to be corrected, or deceit to be met, II would seem to indicate a very deepseated selfish interest based upon some pur- pose which could, scarcely be called straightforward and honest. No man who represents Q just cause has any obJec- t;on to presenting both sides of the case

 NO GAME FOR TODAY

The Yellow Jackets will not engage in battle today with an opponent, but will take a day of rest and see the battle
 The game that was being planned for today has been postponed until later in the season. The calling off of this game was serious disappoint ment to the followers of the Yellow Jackets as they wanted to see their team in action, as the midway point in the season has been passed and there remains but few more games until the close of the season.
 Coach Hovater plans to put his men through hard week of training next week in preparation for the game next

can candidate for President of ths
United States.
If you have any doubts as to- the
moral standing of the league, you
may dfssipate them by reviewing the
endorsements of the greatest church
denominations in the United States,
the endorsements of educational bod
les in every state in the Union, the
endorsements of the foremost and
most highly respected men In the Re-
publican and Democratic parties as
well, the endorsement of the AnIeri-
can Federation of Labor, the en-
! dorsement of the committee of the
American Bar Association, the en-
dorsement of millions of American
citizens convoked in mass meetings
from coast to coast.
The question is simple. 1t is a
question of war or peace. The utter
insincerity and iniquity of most OPP
position to the league is shown by the
fact that it seeks to adorn itself in
lambs clothing by its cry that the
league is thing for war, ana Woulu
rob America of her sovereignty.
Prompt ratification by every other
free people in the world has shown
how silly and puerile that cry is.
In voting for or against the league
of nations next November, citizens
are not voting for the Democratic or
for the Republican parties. By Tot-
ing for the Democratic candidate for
President they are voting for
league and peace; in voting for Mr..
they are voting against the
league and for war.
All the immoral and immoral ele-
ments of the world who fatten on
war are arrayed against the league.
Political posture will not conceal that
Sun.

Where Morality Enters.

1t has often happened that parties
have dressed up political issues in
lofty phrases and paraded them be-
fore the electorate as moral issues.
1t has remained for the campaign of
1920 to produce q clearcut example
of a party dragging a great moral is
sue through the mire of political
chicanery. The question of Ameri-
cas- adherence to the league for
peace emphatically is not a political
issue, save by the decision of one of
our two leading political parties to
align itself in opposition to the NOR
al convictions of the world
Two parties may bitterly oppose
each other upon 4 political issue,
and yet no imputaton of moral
wrong may be involved. Most po
litical problems are merely disputes
over the relative value of differing
means to attain the same end. The
league covenant proposes a definite
step to attain a lofty moral goal;
| this dispute is not as to how we shall
attain that goal, but whether We
shall even strive for it. 1t is not to
be wondered that Mr. Harding seeks
to becloud the situation by vain
words regarding a revival of the
outworn, ineffective tribunal of The
Hague. The Republican candidate
feels himself aware painfully of the
necessity to avert the moral obloquy
he invites.
Issues, like men, are known by the
company they keep.
The pro-Germans are against the
league of nations, because it was
written by their conquerors.
All the disaffected elements who
obtained justice but were denied
Doodle by treaty of Versailles are
against the league of nations.
The mtlitarists of every country in
the world are against the league
The men who fatten on the profits of
powder and guns are especially Bit
ter because the league proposes grad
ual and universal disarmament
Chaotic Mexico, infidel Turkey and
Bolshevik Russia are against the

airy associates are against the league.
