New Haven Conn. Oct. 6.-Senator William h. Borah.
of Idaho in an address tonight made vigorous attack
on President Wilson's statement article ten OF
the league of nations He declared that this
government refused to take up to aid country in
the league which invaded by an enemy, the United
States steps out dscreded and dshonored and the seeds
of war are scattered broadcast
THE presidents last letter to the public informs us
that article ten does not interfere with congress to de-
clare war or not to declare war; said Senator Borah
81 can conceive of but way that congress could get
out of declaring in of the invasion OF territory
of member of the league and that would be to violate
and wholly disregard the plain terms of the treaty, and
TO rend in neces the league covenant itself.

1.-THE PERIL OF
The PARTISAN
Theme Upon Which DR.. Carpen.
ter Delivers Extraordinary
Talk At Christian Church

Another large audience at the First
Christian church was greatly pleased
with a sermon of extraordinary merit
and interest delivered by DR.. Homer
w. Carpenter Sunday night.
''The Peril of the Partisan" was
the theme upon which he spoke for
some time, holding the attention of
his hearers from the beginning. In
part he said:
"Every generation of men has had
its parties and it's partisans. Enter
ing the ministry, Jesus found two
ercups-Jews and Gentiles. There
was mutual dislike. They were in
constant conflict. Not only in the be-
ginning, but throughout the Christian
era did the spirit manifest itself,
with the result that the divisions null
tiplied. Not doctrines, not only in re-
lation, but in social order. Rome had
patricians and plebians, France her
mobiles and bourgoise, England her
commons and lords. The parties in
political order are: England, four:
United States, two major parties. 1t
Is not fact of party, but partisan
spirit that has been the shame am!
50. row OF the world. Division. tiis-
cord, sc1row, unrest and war with all
its holrols resulted from the partisan
spirit.
This primary trouble was with the
Pharisee of Jesus. Not that he was n
Fha1isee. but that he was partisan.
He hated other men. Embittered life
robbed him of the fine fruitage other
wise given.
Zone can afford to sacrifice friend
now and then, but not often. Better
held lner with hoks of steel and h ,id
them up to God.
"Our great campaign is embitter-
ing our community. Sears are being
made which years will not heal.
Home and institutions will be effect
ed. The unity of our community life
will be broken. And for what? For
a party's sake and for a partisan
spirit.
We are not big enough to give the
other man credit for being conscien
'tious-and it may be right? Can't we
accord the man the right to think and
not criticize him for his conclusions?
If not, we classify ourselves as parti-
sans and must pay the price of bro
ken friendships.
The partisan spirit dwarfs ones
character. 1t takes a little man to be
a partisan. The big man lives above
it. A rol call of the great statesmen
of the past reminds us that not one
of them has been partisan in spirit.
The same is the case of great religi-
Gus leaders"

Cox's Attitude On Irish
Question-Also Harding
(By Associated Press)


Worcester, Mass, Oct 10
Harding's explanation regarding
his remarks relative to the alleg-
ed French overtures for a 'new
association Of nations" was ridi-
culed here today by Gov. Cox, in
an address to large station
crowd.
Senator Harding is having a
lot of trouble occasions by his
own words" said Cox. He also
reiterated his stand on the League
OF Nations, and said il elected he
would personally take up the
question of Ireland before the bar
of public opinion in the world. He
characterized conditions in Ire
land as a war OF determination.
At Nashua, Gov. Cox said that
Harding's alleged French over
lures were ''blunder" and an at
tempt to deceive the Ame ican
people. He said Harding probably
meant well but his attitude would
seem to make him the Happy
Holligan" of American politics,
scarcely fitted for the serious bus

100 Men Putting Local
Highways In Condition

There are just a few more than

son county roads at the present
time, apd great progress is being
made. 1t is said this is the most
extensive road work being done in
this part of the state and while 1t
has been in vogue for some time,
will continue until cold weather.
1t is the belief that the condition
of the roads in the county will be
in the best condition for years
when the task is completed. There
are crews of men working i'll more
than half dozen places at pres
ent. The Irvine road is being
placed in the best condition ever

small bridges are being built as
well as many grades and changes

men dropped their tools here

ed by banners borne by the shop
men who marched through the
streets of the city to the court
house to hear Mrs. Cora Wilson
Stewart and Congressman Aswell,
of Alabama.
a delegation Of one hundred
railroad men in automobiles met
the speakers at the train.
SO great was the crowd that the
meeting was adjourned to the
opera house, as the court house
would not accommodate all.
Congressman Aswell said:
81 don't see how any working
man can vote for Senator Hard
ing. | would not support any
man, democrat or republican, who
voted for the Esch-Cummins rail-
road bill. Not one vote in his en-
tire life has Mr.. Harding ever cast
in favor of the laboring man, but
every vote that he has recorded
has been with the financial inter-
Iests."
Mrs. Stewart asked the women
of Somerset eff they would line
up with the churches and the
thinking men and women of the
country, democratic and republi-
can, or vote with the negroes, the
Germans, the prohteers and war
lords"
Mrs. Stewart urged the election
of Senator Beckham. She said
that Mr.. Ernst represented the
"big interests" and if we sent men
of that type to the Senate I'VE
would soon have House of
Lords sure enough"
