REPUBLICAN DEMAGoGY
New York World.)


docs any intelligent human being
believe that when the House of
Commons ratified the covenant of
the League of Nations and accepted
the obligations Of Article X, Great
Britain abdicated its sovereignty,
surrendered its nationality and gave
itself over to the domination of a
rgovernment?
Does cay intelligent human being
believe that when the French Cham
Der of DEPUTIES ratified the coven-
ant, France ceased to be France and
became the vassel of a super-state?
Does any intelligent human being
believe that any one of the thirty
nine self-governing nations which
have joined the League has abandon,
ed itself to the rule of an fallen
Council?
Nobody does, of course. Senator
Harding does not believe it. although
he continues to talk about the subjec-
ton of the United States to foreign
dictation if the covenant is ratified.
Not one of the Republican Senators,
including Hiram Johnson, is capable
Of believing what he processes to
believe about the obligations that are
incurred under Article X None of
of them is so ignorant of constitu-
tional government or of international
affairs as that. Nor can Mr.. Hughes
TRADES against Article x. be accepted
as the studied opinion of a former
Associate Justice of the United States
Supreme court.
The Republicans have taken up Ar
ticle X. as the most plausible exploit
in demagogy that is available to
them. Demagogy in politics does not
consist merely in arraying the poor
against the rich. There are more
subtle forms. and the Republicans
adopted one of them when they set
themselves up as the protested cham
pions of the Constitution of the Unit
ed States against the assaults of the
Council of the League of Nations. 1t
is all rubbish; they know it is all
RUBBISH yet the shameless demagogy
of their exploit is surpassed only by
its naked mendacity
1t is a campaign in which the APP
peal has been made to all the lowest
and meanest and most selfish and
most sordid instincts of the American
people. 1t is campaign which has
also undertaken to capitalize all the
ignorance and suspicion in a popu-
lation of 100,000,000 and to in
flame as we'll all the alien sympathies
and hatreds of that population. The
Republican attitude toward the
League is based on the theory that
although you cannot fool all the peo-
pie all the time, you con fool enough
of them until after election to get
control of the government. That sort
of politics is certain to have its day
of reckoning.
Republican demagogy in this con
test has powerful financial and social
support. 1t is CLOSED over by Re
publicans who can have only intellec-
tual contempt for it. but who are so

sTARvE THE BOIL WEEvIL.
(Athens Banner. J


EVERY cotton stalk, so soon as the
IL cotton has been picked should
be destroyed. The boil weevil thrives
off the cotton stalk, okra and Hibis-
Gus. These plants furnish food for
the weevil and keeps the pest alive
during the winter.
While the boil weevil has not APP
peared in this immediate section in
any great numbers, it is believed THAT
next wear and the year following will
find it here in great numbers. Ger
tain will the weevil increase in num-
bers if every protective measure is
not taken to prevent them multiply
ing. The cotton stalk is the greatest
food for the weevil in this section of
the country. Okra is another good
feeder. The stalks Of cotton and
okra should be burned and not twig
from either plant should be left eX-
posed to the revages of the destruct-
i've pest.
In Arizona Thurberit, plant
closely related to the cotton plant, is
an appetizing food for the weevil
Even in that state the weevil has
made its appearance, but not in such
great numbers as in the Southern
states. 1t is true that South Geor-
gia and portions of South Carolina
are recovering from the destructive
visit of the insect but then it is max
ing it's way to this section and so soon
as the great army of these little pests
arrive, then the cotton raisers will
have to meet the condition. Every
possible precaution should be taken
by the farmer to prevent the spread
of the weevil and this timely warn
ing is given with the hopes that every
cooperation will be entered into
looking towards the stamping out of
the pesky insect which has caused so
much damage to the people in the in
tested sections of the cotton belt
The stalks should not be burned,
but plowed under soil where they will
prove splendid fertilizer power to he
ground. Every cotton stalk has a
certain per centage of nitrogen which
is the most costly fertilizing material
made and aids generally in improv
ing the conditio nof the land for an
other years crop.
Starve the boil weevil; pillow up and
bury every cotton stalk in your field
and help to eradicate the deadly enc
my of the cotton crop.
