For the first time since he was
taken i'll more than year ago Presi-
dent Wilson delivered a speech on
Wednesday. A group of pro-league
Republicans, headed by Hamilton
Holt, called on him in the White
House, and in response to their adj
dress he spoke, from his wheel chair,
in defense of the league covenant as
he brought it from Paris. In uphold
ing article 10 he said: 1T is the spe-
cific pledge of the members of the
league that they will unite to resist ex-
actly the things which Germany at
tempted, no matter who attempts them
in the future. It is as exact defini-
ton as could be given in general terms
of the outrage which Germany would
have committed If it could"
Instead of being a threat of war,
he said later, article 10 is ian assur-
ance of the concert Of all the free peo-
pies of the world in the future, as in
the recent past, to see justice done
and humanity protected and vindicat-
ed This is the true. the real Ameri-
canism. This is the role of leadership
and championship Of the right which
the leaders of the republic intended
that it should play. The so-called
Americanism which we hear SO much
prating about now is spurious and in
vented for party purposes only"

Though not so important an event
as it would have been before the
World war, the death of the king of
Greece may lead to developments of
some moment in that country. Alex
ander died on Monday as the result Of
a monkey bite. The state council at
once decided that the throne should be
offered to his younger brother, Prince
Paul, but stipulated that if he accept
ed former King Constantine must for
mally renounce his claim to the crown.
Paul let it be known that his decision
must be made by his father. There
is chance that if he declines the
throne will be offered to Prince Chris
topher, Constantine's brother, who
early in the year married Mrs. Will
liam B. Leeds, an American. Still
more likely, however, is the establish
ment of republic, probably with Pre-
mier Venizelos as its first president.

Terence MacSwiney, lord mayor OF
Cork, finally succeeded in starving
himself to death in Brixton Jail, a
martyr in the cause of Irish free
dom. The second death among the
hunger strikers in prison in Cork also
was recorded. These events deeply
stirred all the Irish, in Ireland and
America as well, and there were nu-
merous masses and other ceremonies
in connection with the deaths. The
British authorities took every precau-
ton to guard against outbreaks, AID
presumably they were seconded in this
by the wiser among the Sim Fem
leaders. For the latter know that
these would but bring on more re-
prisals and further repression.

BY EDWARD w. PlcKARD.

Excepting for our presidential cam
paign, of whose closing days there is
little or nothing to say, the affairs of
Great Britain supplied the most inter-
esting and important news of the
week. The strike of the coal miners.
with it's threats of further and greater
economic troubles, added to the Irish
problem, gave the British enough to
worry over and these two matters con-
tinued to draw the attention, sympa-
thetic or otherwise, of the English
speaking world.
Prime Minister Lloyd George and
his cabinet were unremitting in their
efforts to settle the miners strike, and
on Thursday it was announced that
they had succeeded, if the miners
would accept the plan. After repeated
conferences with the labor leaders
tentative agreement was reached,
The settlement upon which the min
ers' delegates, coal mine owners, and
the government are agreed is a very
complicated one. Briefly the men get
a sliding advance of two shillings to
one shilling six pence, according to
age as was originally demanded.
The miners and owners solemnly
pledge to cooperate to secure an in
creased output Of coal. National and
district committees are to be eStab-
lilshed Immediately to control the out
put and a joint national wage board
will be established at the earliest pos
sible time before March 81 for regula-
ton Of wages for the whole industry,
with regard to profits of the industry
and the principles on which profits
should be dealt with.
The miners executive committee was
to submit the settlement to the miners
federation for approval so the return
Of the men to the pits will not be de-
iayed.
The railway men and transport
workers, in view of the hopeful char
acter of the negotiations, postponed
any action looking to sympathetic
strike
Though very optimistic, the govern
ment made ready for all contingencies
by rushing through to final passage it's
emergency bill. This arms the govern
ment with added powers to enforce
the law in case the strike continues
and the rail and transport men be-
come involved. Though it was passed
by large majority, some concessions
were demanded and received by the la
Dor party. The law as enacted pro-
vides that nothing in the act shall be
construed as authorizing the procla-
nation Of any form of compulsory mil
itary service or industrial conscrip-
ton or make it an offense for any per-
son to participate in strike or peace
fully persuade any other person to
participate in a strike.

Some of the farmers of Kansas,
Oklahoma, Nebraska and the North
western states began last week their
strike" against the low price Of
wheat on the Chicago board of trade.
Following the instructions of their or
ganization leaders, they are withhold
ing their wheat from the market, and
the effect of decreased receipts began
to be felt at once. In the vicinity OF
Wichita, Kan, farmers picketed the
roads, urging those on their way to the
elevators to turn back.
, The wheat raisers of Iowa were
urged to take part in the ''strike" by
e. A. Cunningham, secretary of the
state farm bureau, who said the Iowa
wheat crop cost $1.88 a bushel to har-
vest and the oats crop cost Is cents &
bushel. He blamed manipulation for
the recent sharp declines in prices of
grain. '"There is no justification for
the tremendous break in the market,
he said. "We believe a reaction must
come. We urge every farmer to with
hold his commodities.
''The siS1ation cannot become more
serious and a further decline can do
nothing more than to add to the seri-
BUSINESS of the situation. On the other
hand, a reasonable reaction would
probably avoid financial ruin"
The farmers are asked by Mr.. Cum
ningham to buy nothing but essentials.
Farmers complain that they have to
pay high rates to borrow money to
handle the bumper crops.
Meanwhile Canadian wheat, which
is coming into the United States duty
free for milling purposes, is being
bought in large quantities by mills and
exporters in this country. The duty on
Canadian wheat was taken off by Pres
ident Wilson at the suggestion OF
Wheat Director J. III. Barnes in the
effort to reduce tE5 cost of living. 1t
was expected that in this way our
millers would be enabled to lower the
price of flour; the effect was limited,
however.

WILL NOT TRUCKLE
FOR VOTES, HARDING
TELLS SAILOR BAND

MARION, O., Sept A determin-
alton to guard against "clamor, insin-
cerity and abuse" in his campaign for
the presidency was expressed by Sen
ator Harding today in talk to a mar
inc band which serenaded his resi-
dence during a visit here on recruiting
duty. The nominee said he felt 1t
duty to be tolerant of those who differ
with him and not to drag the atten-
tion of the people Into the mire."
81 assume that your coming here"
said Senator Harding, "is due in large
part to the fact that am candidate
for the presidency. 1t is because I
feel more deeply about every day that
l want to tell you American citizens,
and through you as many Americans
as possible. my ideas of the respon.
sibilities of candidate for the high
est office the people can bestow.
81 have said to myself: You owe it
to the citizens of America to preserve
the attitude and the mind of one who
serves as we'll as he can.
Must Guard Against Pretenee.
"As I see it, owe it to the men
and women of America to guard
against all pretense. AS I see it, I
owe it to them to state fully and clear
ly my OelletS WIN all IHes sincerity
there is In me.
CAS- I see it, must not. as seek to
gain votes for my party, yield to the
temptation which often comes to men
who are candidates, to make. false ap-
peals and appeals which, though they
might be successful at the moment,
do not serve the truth or do not meet
the requirements of our national dig
nifty.
LAS see it, must not drag the at
tention of the American people into a
mire when its their whole hearts de-
sire that their attention should be cen
tered upon the problems which we all
wish to face bravely and wisely and to-
gether.
Must Construct, Not Tear Down
LAS see it, must concentrate my
attention upon construction and not
upon abuse. AS I see 1t, / must be pa
tient and tolerant with those Ameri-
cans who may differ with me.
"As l see it, If were to stoop to in
sincerity, to mere clamor, to political
eypediencey, to appeals to special
classes. l would be failing in that pur-
pose which I trust shall always be
mine"
