The decision means that once a
manufacturer sells his product to a
distl ibutor, he cannot fix the price at
which the distr ibutor may sell it..
The fixing by manufacturers of trade
marked or patented products of the
price at which they may be sold is an
old established trade practice.

weeks tour of the County to a close
last Saturday afternoon at Fordsville,
in one of the best meetings of The

ed by Mrs. S. o. Keown. of Hartford,
in few but appropriate words.
The Fordsville Court room was us

than a small per cent of those who
wished or endeavored to hear the la

out the County, made a splendid

of vital interest was most convincing

LABORERS LEAVE
MEXICO FOR u. S.
Higher Wages Paid In This Country
Is Causing Steady Flow
Across Border.

Mexico City, Mexico. Oct. 16-Mex-
leo is beginning to feel the effect of
the heavy flow of labor from this
country to the United States, and
ways are being discussed to keep the
Mexican workmen at home. Those
who go to the United States are the
best of the laborers. vigorous. enter
prising men. who are able to earn
and save enough for the journey.
Those who remain behind are chiefly
OF the lazy, shiftless class--men who
are not looked upon as prizes by en-
ployers.
The great reason 70. the rush to
the United States is that the Mexicans
are better paid there. Men who have
worked in the Mexican oil fields.
where laborers get three and half
pesos, or s1.75 in American money.
cross the border into Texas. where
many OF them get as high as SO a
day, or ten pesos, in the American
oil fields. Those who work on rail-
roads and ranches get much better
pay than they could obtain in the part
of Mexico where the highest wages
are paid--the oil fields. Outside OF
the Tampico district. Mexican labor
ers get much less than $1.75 day. In
some sections men are glad to work
for one and two pesos day.
The high wages" in the oil fields
have caused Mexican laborers to go
there from all parts of the country
but as the Tampico section is very
unhealthy many become sick and are
forced to leave.
Another cause OF the rush across
tho border is the unsettled condition
of Mexico. Many Carranzistas dread
ing mistreatmcnt. have thought II
best to go to the United States.

LEAGUE DON'T FUNCTION.

4 The world is sick for peace
that is, the decent cultured world
is sick for peace. And yet war con-
tinues to ravage its red way thru
many lands. The Near East is vol
cano. Russia. Lithuania, Poland,
the Caucasus. Persia, Turkey-in all
of these and many more lands the war
horns blare, the guns roar, cities
fall and are sacked, men and women
and children die. Famine and star
walton are reaping hideous harvests.
The situation in Ireland is approx
mating that so long prevalent in
Mexico Mandates conferred by the
authority of the Council of the
League of Nations are imposed and
enforced only thru the agency OF war
with all its accursed incidents.
If the League of Nations was Gre
ated to prevent war, If it was set up
to become the clearing house for in
ternational justice, why in the name
of all the gods Of pity and friends OF
mercy does 1t not function effectively
now? Twenty-four nations are mem
bers of the league. But what has II
None TO conserve or exhalt interna-
tional justice? What has it done to
prevent any war? Where the sub

OSCAR NEEL JARNAGIN.

On Wednesday. October 10, little
Oscar Neel. 13-months old baby OF
Mr.. and Mrs. j. j. Jarnagin. fell
asleep in Jesus. Neel was sick most
of his life, but was a noble child and
bore IL all with patience. He was a
favorite of the family and loved by
all who knew him. All were anx-
ious that he might be spared, but God
in his infinite wisdom knew best
when to take him.
Rev r. b. Neel, for whom he was
named. preached the funeral, from
18th chapter End Samuel, after
which he was laid to rest in the
Green River Cemetery. The floral
offerings were beautiful.

closest to his heart
The other night he spoke here Il
Louisville. He was again an advo
cate, as indeed II is his natural benz
to be. But he held brief for tn,
other side. He was eloquent in re
buttal of himself. When shall w,
hold him to have been sincere, wher
he spoke as an Irishman for IRELAND
or contrariwise?
But there was more. a great dea
more. Asked If in his opinion thai
Wilson's treaty would be helpful tc
the Irish, he replied that no nation
had ever achieved its independence
with the consent of the dominant
power or by the naked" unaided ac-
ton of its own people. Every sue.
Icessful revolution of which l have any
knowledge" he said, was effected
thru outside support. And he in
stanced the American colonies and
Cuba and Greece. To assent to the
treaty and covenant, as presented by
the President, was. to his way of
thinking, not to close one avenue, but
to close the only avenue thru which
escape might be effected.
There was much more of ferver
and bitterness it would not be easy
to duplicate, of power and a cogen-
cy as well, and finally Mr.. Cochran
closed as follows:
Peace must be established in
Ireland before it can be made, per-
manent thruout the world. Peace
can not be established by Eng
land in Ireland Eight centuries
of history prove that. The Irish
people, who have resisted foreign
dominion for nine centuries will
not submit to it, even tho an at
tempt to force 1t upon them were
made by thousand Leagues of
Nations.
The League of Nations here pro-
posed is an abomination, an at
tempt to use the conscience of
Christendom to sanctify and per-
petuate wrongs which morality and
justice condemn.
As. it seems to us, the speaker ans
wers himself with a sufficient COM
pleteness. No additional word of
our is required.

JUDGE c. B. SEYMOUR
WILL BACK HARDING
Dean of Kentucky Bar Opposed To
League Unless Reservations
Are Adopted.
louisville Heraldl

Judge Charles B. Seymour, one or
the leading members of the Kentuc-
ky bar and lifelong Democrat, an
nounced last night that he will vote
for Warren G. Harding for President
in the November election.
In making this announcement
Judge Seymour gave out a statement
over his signature in which he de-
clared that he could not approve the
League of Nations covenant without
the reservations proposed by the Re-
publican party.
Judge Seymour, for many years
dean of the Louisville Law School, is
known as one of Kentucky's old-Iine
Democrats. He has always been rec
ognized as one of the ablest men OF
the party

to close friends of Judge Seymour

candidacy of Governor Cox or with
the organization behind him He
takes the stand that reservations
must be Incorporated in the covenant.

servations would be of no avail. The
Lodge reservations" he declares,

ment follows:
"a League of Nations to prevent
war and to limit ornaments will be
of the greatest value to the world IL
it shall be entered into without i'm
pairing the sovereignty of the United
States. That sovereignty must in no
event be impaired.
"Interpretative reservations would
be of no avail. There must be re-
servations incorporated in the cove
nant. The Lodge reservations seem
to me dispensahle--every one OF ,
them. I do NOT see any reason why
patriotic Americans should object to.
any one of those reservations. fa-
vor with all my soul the League Of
Nations with those reservations: r
could not approve it without those
reservations or their equivalent.
"a refusal to enter into the trea-
ty. without those reservations is not
a refusal to become a member Of tho
League of Nations. President Wilson
is unwilling to submit to the nations
of Europe the treaty with those re-
servations; but when his SUCCESSOR
