THE CAMPAIGN OF 1920


VII What Would He Accomplish 2
With the election day, November 2,
but little more than q half month
away, IL is no wonder that anxiety in
regard to the result should come to
be intense. Many Of us feel that
vital interests are at stake. No one
can so loudly insist that the veal or
woe Of our country and the world
hangs In the balance that do not
readily agree with him. This doubt
less is one Of the most momentous of
elections.
Many Of our friends, taking as I
think somewhat superficial view Of
the subject, make frantic appeals to
us to accept the proposed form of a
League Of Nations. Influenced more
than they are aware by the adroit
representations or misrepresenta-
tions, Of skilled politicians, they are
led to denounce as wickedly partisan
those who have stood in the way Of
carrying into effect the original plan.
My present object is not so much to
discuss the merits or demerits of the
proposed league as to inquire what
would be accomplished IL the league
candidate, James M. Cox, should be
chosen President.
In correspondence and by personal
contact, | have encountered several
persons who do not consider Mr.. Cox
an ideal man for the presidency, but
who seem to think that the welfare
Of mankind, for ages to come, is
bound up in the league and that the
election Of Cox will secure its ac-
ceptance by the United States and
consequent peace and happiness for
evermore. ] hope that the natural
sweetness Of our friends, who might
almost be said to have adopted Presi-
dent Wilson as their idol and League
Of Nations" as their shibboleth, has
not been so turned into bitterness as
that they will not agree that people
on both sides Of the controversy are
likely to be about equally honest and
patriotic. Now suppose that the
present writer and the entire host of
Citizen readers who have doubted the
value of such league and the wis
dom Of entering it should change our
minds and become its ardent advo-
Gates. What is our chance of get
ting it adopted by the United States ?
Many will answer, "vote for Cox and
the Democratic ticket" Surface in
dications are that this is what our
enthusiastic league supporters in Be-
rea intend to do, even those who pre-
viously have gloried in standing by
the Republican colors, when the Dem
ocrats had far more worthy candi-

date than now. We vote for men
and not for measures. Suppose we
were to fall in and elect Cox, what
would this accomplish for the League
Of Nations?
We must bear in mind that our en-
tering into this league would be max
ing treaty, 10 which the other ma
tions who ratify would be parties.
The matter has been kept connected
with that Of making peace with the
so-called Central Powers" Of Europe
Germany, etc. The making of such
treaty requires the concurrence of the
President and two-thirds of the Sem
ate. Nearly two years have elapsed
since the armistice, and no progress
is made. We Of the United States
have sheathed our swords; but legal
ly the war still continues. The war
time legislation, giving the President
and his chosen agents the power TO
nix prices, control the moving of the
products Of soil and mines, etc. IL
still upon us, with all its power to
disturb and parlyze trade. No king
in all the world has half the power
over the welfare of his subjects that
is exercised by that autocrat called
the President. We want peace, at
tended by the removal Of these arbi-
trary restrictions. We want a re-
newal Of normal business conditions,
with dependable scale of prices.
An era Of unusual prosperity would
follow.
All of the aforementioned bless
ings the Senators who have opposed
ratification without reservations want
as badly as does anyone else. Their
interests are common with ours. We
must not be so uncharitable and
pharisaic as to claim that they are
not as honest as we. If there are
temptations to charge them with VIC
ious partisanship, we must remem-
Der that these Senators belong TO
different political parties. With the
utmost emphasis I must urge that to
ascribe the positions taken by a ma
jority Of the U. S. Senate to wilful
partisanship or personal hate toward
any one is utterly unworthy an
American citizen, b he the mean
est ward-heeler or a candidate for
the Presidency. Those opposed to
the present form of proposed league
will still be opposed to it, after the
4th' of March next. The terms of
only one-third of the Senators expire
at that time. If the Democrats
should elect the entire thirty-two,
they would still fall short Of the nec-
essary two-thirds. Their widest
hopes are not that they will elect
much more than half of them. So
we should only have continuance of

the country is selling for from 5000
to $500 per acre.
Wheat sowing is completed; clover
hulling and silo filling are the occu-
pations of the day. Most farmers
have tractors and farm machinery on
their farms.
T. r. Hays, a former resident of
Kentucky, has put 800 bushels of
corn in his silo preparatory to get
ing in two carloads of cattle from
Kansas City.
The Mclean County Poor Farm, an
adjoining farm, has just finished their
annual job of painting, and have in
stalled a new ice plant to the amount
Of $4,000. Tom Rust, another neigh
Dor, is contemplating shipping 500
head of cattle in the near future.
We attended the Mclean County
Better Farming Association picnic,
held at Miller Park. There were
about 10000 members present. They
were served with barbecued meat and
coffee, donated by Armour & Co. The
farmers also brought well-filled bas-
kets to complete the feast.
Mrs. A. F. Hays, of Berea, is visit

A BEAN HULLING

A very enjoyable evening was spent
at the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Anderson, at Big Hill, last Saturday,
by a number Of folks from Berea.
Mr.. Anderson had gathered his crop
Of fine beans and had them ready for
the party. After having looked over
this historic house in which General
Grant had his headquarters in Civil
War days, and having looked at the
relics which Mr. Anderson has col
lected, the bean hulling began. Un-
de- the superintendent Of Mr. Spence
the work was performed in a short
time.
Then in a very few minutes the
host lost bushel or two Of delicious
apples. That they were delicious will
be testified to by all the guests. Af-
ter this games were played, in which
the whole company entered heartily.
Those present were: President and
Mrs. Hutchins, DR.. Winfield Scott
Hall. Dean and Mrs. McAllister, Prof.
and Mrs. Baird, Mr. and Mrs. Spence,
Prof. and Mrs. Lewis, Mr.. and Mrs.
J. F. Dean, DR.. and Mrs. Eugene

Mrs. Houck, Dean and Mrs. Waugh,
Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor, Mr.. and Mrs.

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

grades Of their children. II "F" or
IN" appear, II is cause for anxiety.
To qualify for honor roll, pupils
must not be absent OF tardy, must
get a majority Of "E's" and nothing
below "G".
The Public School lent itself Tues
day to the Progress Club and Red
Cross in parade on Chestnut and
Main streets for Cleanup Day.
Prof. Dix, Of Berea College, led
united chapel Monday morning. He
showed, by a graphic drawing, COM
mon mistakes and sins Of young peo-
pie. The response Of the children
testified to the genuine appreciation
Of the message.
The Columbus Day program was
given Tuesday TO the entire school in
the auditorium. The exercises were
rendered by sixth, seventh and eighth
grades.
Parent Teachers Association met,
Friday. p. m, in school auditorium
and elected the following officers for
1920-2l: Mrs. DR.. Godbey, president;
E. F. Dizney. vice president; Mrs.

present conditions. Wilson will not
let us have a chance to make peace,
unless the wonderful league" can
slip in at the same time the door
opens to admit the angel Of peace.
Wilson and Cox declare that they are
in agreement. An acquaintance with
Cox's methods in the past, with his
selfish desire to be the whole thing,
is sufficient to show what he would
do. His little finger would be thicker
than Wilson's thigh. The period Of
disagreement between departments of
government would continue, and with
increased rancor and confusion. We
still would be outside the league!
With Harding in the Presidential
Chair, we should have a Chief Mag
istrate ready to approve resolution
terminating the state of war. The
chief cause of the present unrest
would be removed. The general ques-
ton of league could afterwards be
considered dispassionately. Time and
anxiety would be saved by taking this
course. By all means let's do it!
There are things which Mr.. Cox
really would do. We can judge as to
them when we have reviewed some
things which he already has done.

 AVA feathered friends of tiny folk are stamped and embroidered in bright colors on fine white handkerchiefs we saw for giddies at the Boston Store. In cunning boxes that will afford the little people as much joy as the hankies themselves the gift would prove one of the wanted type when found in the stocking Christmas morn Ing. The boxes range in price from 25 cents to s2.9S and then there is a 25 per cent discount This discount also applies to the entire handkerchief section where you will find lovely types for Christmas gifts from the elaborate lace handkerchief to the simple ones of lawn. We like particu- larly the fine linen ones with a touch of embroidery in the corner and others bearing a tiny initial. There art sports kerchiefs, too in lawn and linen as well as the popular silk crepe Quite few are being shown with just bit of color of such fine embroidery l it appears to be woven in clever de sign.

ARE YOU one of those who will rush pell mell into the shops the last minute and pick up something at ran dom? We have been hunting for little new things in the shops that your Christmas giving might be distinctive this year and suggest that you go to the Graves Indian Shop if you care for the uncommon and beautiful in gifts. There you will delight in charming butterfly trays ranging in price from s3.50 to $15. The butterflies selected in South America are exquisite in coloring and are mounted on cotton from the milk weed pod. Grasses and leaves add an artistic touch, the tray truly resembling a lovely painting "The House of a Thousand Gifts" is the way we refer to the Graves Indian Shop.

 Furniture company is particularly ap- propriate because it typifies the re- finement of necessity. Examples or this we found in their collection of sewing cabinets which would not only lend charm as a bit of furnishing but would be invaluable in practical way to every woman. In the way of single pieces we well might add the tea cart -the little wagon that creates such a desirable atmosphere in the dining room entertaining occasions on

THERE IS one thing in a mans
 wardrobe that only woman should buy. A man may select his own shirts, collars, hosiery and even his scarves but only a woman should choose his lounge robe. Perhaps this is the reason why the lounge robe is so popular for Christmas gifts. At McDougal and Gaseous are luxusious robes of lus- trous silk, rich velvet and soft fleecy woolens. There, too, have ever useful bath robes, handkerchiefs with his initials smartly embroidered in one corner and comfortable house slippers. always included in every gift givers list.

They make lovely gift articles-either the hand painted ones featuring clever girls or those con ceived of taffeta and gold lace or still others of tapestry, while a particular favorite in boxes are those fibre fash toned. No matter what your choice of confections-it can be satisfied a Donofrio s-where they have the mos delicious chocolates, fruit pastes, cac- tus and other novelty sweets.

 Moves Upward" and the author C. P. Woodbury. In a lowering market where other forms of investment fluc- tuate widely, where the fat and hearty war baby of yesteryear becomes the starving investment outcast of today. real estate stands out like "a good deed in naughty world" Real estate val ues move in only one direction, upward, on account of the increasing popula- tion Of the country. The volume of
 business may be large or small accord
 ing to conditions that influence it, but property values in a growing commun- ity never fail. They hold steady at q given level during periods of stagna- tion; shey invariably resume their up
 ward trend when business becomes
 normal again. Yes real estate is diff
 fent and those who believe that there
 will be decline in sales values will be
 disappointed. The price of food
 clothes, shoes and other items that use
 up the wages of labor are coming down
 as they were bound to come down, bu
 ground values I think you will find
 will stand about as they are"
