 "TheSe are fateful times Organized government has definite duty all over the world. The house of civilization is to be put in order The supreme is sue of the century is before us and the nation that halts and delays is playing with fire. The finest impulses of hu- manity, rising above national lines. merely seek to make another horrible war impossible. Under the old order of International anarchy war came overnight. and the world was on fire before We knew it. It sickens our senses to think of another
 Ratification First Duty.
 ''The first duty of the new admins tration clearly will be the ratification of the treaty. The matter should be approached without thought of the bit terness of the past The public yer dict will have been rendered, and am confident that the friends of world peace as it will be promoted by the
  stitutional requisite TO favorable sena- torial action. The captiOus may say that our platform reference to reserva- tions is vague and indefinite. Its mean ing, in brief, is that we shall state our interpretation of the covenant as a matter of good faith to our asso- ciates and as a precaution against any misunderstanding in the future. The point Is that after the people shall have spoken the league will be in the hands of it's friends m the senate, and safe index as to what they will do is supplied by what reservations they have proposed in the past. Some months ago, in a contributed article to the New York Times, expressed my own opinion of the situation as it then was. I reproduce 1t here:

Here is a summary of the speech of Governor James Nj. Cox, Demo cratic candidate for president. at the notification ceremonies at Day ton:
 League of Nations.-Would enter the league, immediately ratify the treaty and state our interpretation of the covenant in reservations as a matter of good faith and as matter of precaution against any misunderstanding in the future. The interpretation to clearly show that the league is not an alliance and that it's basic purpose Is peace and not controversy.
 Domestic Problems.-Would re- peal war taxes; reduce federal taxation; suggests, in place of ex- cess profits tax, substitution of vol ume of business tax.
 Profiteering.-Prom penaliza- ton under the criminal law
 Labor.-Stimulate Americaniza- tion. Writ of injunction should not be abused. No necessity now for the drastic laws of war days; guarantee of free speech; recogni- tion of the rights of the principle of collective bargaining. Child life of the nation should be conserved.
 Agriculture.-Fede government should sponsor agriculture and food production. Farmer should be am ] ply compensated for his work Favors municipal markets Regu- i.% oF ;,, crease area of tillabIe land.
 National Prosperity. = Objective should be decreased tenantry and stimulation of home ownership.
 Food Supply--More adequate su- pervision of railroads; utilization of waterways.
 Financial and Commentaries tols federal reserve act and mer- chant marine. Would extend fa- cilitieS for exchange and credit and stimulate foreign trade.>
 National Budget.-Favors a na- tional budget system. Would re- duce armament expenditures on entering league of nations.
 Republican Ungenerosity.-Rep icans failed to recognize that America had saved the world or TO appreciate the struggles and sac rifices of those who, in arms, or industry. helped win the war. Present Congress has not passed a single constructive law, but spent time and millions in seeking to make military triumph an odious chapter in history.
 Mexican Situation We have neither lust for their domain nor disposition to disturb their rights.
 Disabled Soldiers.-Pledges i'm mediate efforts to provide vocation al training and favors employment of disabled soldiers of World War by Federal Board to supervise the rehabilitation of disabled soldiers
 Prohihition.-"Any candidate for the presidency who says he does not intend to enforce the law is more unworthy than the law vfo- lator''
 Woman Suffrage.-Strongly fa- vored.
 Official Responsibility.-O to ''government by party" pledges service to the people as whole
 Education.-Federal government should not encroach on local con trol, but rather should create an enlarged public interest.
 Campaign Contributions. No harrow dividing line between the legitimate and the illegitimate, underlying purpose only determin- ing.
 Industrial Peace.-We want a change from the world of yester- day, from the old industrial world. We are at the forks of the road" So-called return to the normal" means "reactionism."

acceptance today Governor James NJ Cox, addressing a great crowd, said in part:
 we. are in a time which calls for straight thinking, straight talking and straight acting. This is no time for wobbling. Never in all our history has more been done for government. New CT was sacrifice more sublime The most precious things of heart and home were given up in a spirit which guar antees the perpetuity of our institu- tions-if the faith is kept with those who served and suffered.
 "The country received with interest, to say the least. the announcement from Chicago, where the Republican national convention was assembled, that platform plank, dealing with the subject of world peace, had been drawn, leaving out the Lodge reserva- tions, and yet remaining agreeable to all interests, meaning thereby the Lodge reservationists, the mild reser- vationists and the group of Republican senators that openly opposed the League of Nations in any form.
 "As the platform made no definite committal of policy and was, in fact. so artfully phrased as to make almost any deduction possible, 1t passed through the convention with practical unanimity. Senator Johnson, however, whose position has been consistent and whose opposition to the league in any shape is we'll known, withheld his SUD- port of the convenfion's choice until the candidate had Stated the meaning of the platform, and announced def nitely the policy that would be his. if elected.
 Senator Harding makes this new pledge of policy in behalf of his party:
 ''I promise you formal and effective peace so quickly as a Republican con- gress can pass it's declaration for Republican executive to sign
 '3This means but one thing-a sepa- rate peace with Germany!
 "No less an authority than Senator Lodge said, before the heat of recent controversy. that to make peace eX- cept in company with the Allies would brand us everlastingly with dishonor and bring ruin to us.'
 And then after peace Is made with Germany, Senator Harding would, he says, hopefully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, proposing that understanding which makes us a willing participant in the consecration of nations to new relationship
 "In short, America. refusing to enter the League of Nations tnow already

TWO MEXICAN SHEEP
 HERDERS KILLED

WO MCAlCdI1 OIlCOp HC1 oC1S, Jose and Juan Mora. were kill- ed on the w. A. Johnson home stead near here Thursday morning. The men were en- ployed by Bob Daggs, and had made camp on land belonging to Johnson. The story as told by George Robinson and John ston, to the coroner's jury was substantially as follows:
 Robinson spent Wednesday night with Johnson on the lat ter's homestead. In the morn ing these men noticed the pack animals of sheep camp, and, taking their guns, went out to learn the location of the camp. They found Jose Mora, sheep herder, and Juan Mora, caporel encamped with a band of sheep on Johnston's farm. They re- quested the sheep herder to move the camp off the home stead. During the argument that followed, a shot was fired by Juan, that passed between Robinson and Johnston.
 Jose immediately drew 35 Winchester which he car ried on his back and fired at one of the men, both of whom were backing rapidly away. Both Johnson and Robinson return ed the fire, while continuing to back away. The two Mexi- cans fired from the cover of a bush. Johnston stated that he saw Juan drawing a bead on him and he fired directly at Juan. The latter was after ward found dead apparently killed while in the act of firing a gun.
 Neither Johnston nor Rob- inson were hit. After retreat ing behind the cover of bushes, they returned to the ranch house and later came to town and gave themselves up. They did not know whether the Mexicans had been killed or had only ceased firing, altho they had seen one fall as tho shot.
 The coroner's jury on visit ing the scene of the fight, found Juan dead behind the bush from which he was said to have fired his gun. Jose, with a ball thru his groin, had evidently walked back to the tent and bound up his wound, after which he had set out as tho for Daggs' camp. He died after going about a quarter of a mile A trail of blood marked his course.
 The coroner's jury agreed on a verdict that amounted to jus tifiable homicide, as Robinson and Johnson were held to have killed in self-defense.
 A complaint was sworn out against both men however and they are now out under bail, .p6, ,00O each.
 The News regrets that the lack of day power during the last two days has prevented the publication of this tragedy in greater detail, this week.

G. M. GRAHAM

Augustus Mills Graham died in Chicago on July 18th. From there the body was taken by his half brother, J. B. Graham, to Jonesville, Michigan, the old family home, for burial. Fun eral services were held in the Grace Episcopal church of that place, where with his mother, he was baptized and confirmed in his early manhood. The funeral service was concluded by the choir singing "Just As I Am, Thou Wilt Receive" 6 fav- orite hymn of MT. Graham's- He was laid at rest in the fam fly lot in the village cemetery where his father, mother and three brothers had been laid before him. The mother now has all her sons beside her and the family circle is complete.
 G. M. Graham was born in Jonesville, Michigan, March l. 1847. Until after the death of his mother and three brothers, he lived in Jonesville. The fam fly came from good old revolu- tionary stock and George was a bit proud of his ancestry, as he had right to be. After the death of his most dearly loved ones he became a wanderer and travelled extensively, con- tributing a number of articles about his travels, to magazines. Among the magazines in which these articles. appeared were Scripners and the Atlantic His travels finally brought him to Williams and here he remain cd. Here he resided until a few weeks ago when, responding to some strange call, he set out for his old home and arrived there Il s, in time to be laid at rest beside, the other members of his family, where he would have hoped to rest, altho he probably did not feel that his end was quite so near at the time he planned his visit to Michigan
 From Williams MT. Graham went to St. Luke's hospital in Chicago. There he received X-Ray and laboratory tests that showed cancer of the stomach already beyond surgical or medical aid. The physicians informed his brother of the sit uation and it was thought best to keep the facts from the suf- ferer but he surprised his bro- ther by telling him that he had been sure he had cancer for a number of months and that he realized his end was near.
 In Williams. MT. Graham ac- cumulated considerable prop ertv. He was well liked by all and his many friends here ex- pected to see him again, when he departed last month on what proved to be his last journey in this, life.
 G. M. (Kansas) Graham wal one of the few remaining old residents and landmarks" and his passing removes another of the few human ties that still bind the present to the past in our community. He died at the age of 73, just two years young. CT than J. $. Button. He and MT. Button had celebrated 2. large number of birthdays to- gether, for the First of March was the anniversary of both, Mrs. J. $. Button also felt kindred feeling for MT. Gra-- ham because of the fact that she was born in another village but a few miles from JOnesville and she knew MT. Graham'Ts folks in Michigan.
 G. M. Graham will be kindly by all who knew him.

then l get sick of saving, by thrift my
soul is panied. And so | blow my
money as though l had no sense, and
live on milk and honey, regardless Of
expense; | patronize the tailor and
buy a fordmobile, and like a jingled
sailor l burn the hard earned wheel
Then, tired of misbehaving, I gently
simmer down, and once again I'm saw
ing the guilder and the crown. And
such course seems dotty to people
safe and sane, who think such orgies
naughty, and villainous and vain. But
saving, though a virtue, may soon be-
come a fault that's bound to badly
hurt you unless you call halt before
the shining dollar to you seems so i'm
mense that all the world looks smaller
than its circumference. The thrifty
man is wiser than is the spend-thrift
jake; but, oh, the greedy miser! He
makes my innardS ache.

Today S Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
ON CHANGING FRONTS


Every hour is an education. And
we live by minutes!
Emerson posted a great fact when
he said that consistency is the hob
goblin of little minds" Unless man
reserves the right to think better in
the evening than in the morning, I'M
less he finds himself able to change
fronts at will, how is he consistently
to grow?
The able general changes his plan
of battle as the battle changes.
The only logical affair in the world
is for one to keep going ahead!
Too much equipment and too many
hangings will anchor the strongest
For there must be freedom of move
ment if there is to be any regularity
Of progress.
Change your front any time you
may choose-providing you get a
straighter, smoother road over which
to walk.
Nothing kills like precedent. Moth.
ing stagnates like convention.
Change your front-but keep front
ing!
Confide your most important moves
to no one-and shoulder your own gun
But keep step. There is nothing
achieved in the midst of confusion.
You may not be able to think as
profoundly as some one else, but you
can ack quickly and with simple grace
You can keep thinking and keep going
You can change your front when
things look dark.
