WILSON'S DODdING

A few days ago President Wilson
issued statement In which he said
that the opponents Of the league
"tell you that Article 10 Of the cove
nant of the League would make 1t
possible for other nations to lead us
into war" He then said: "This is
absolutely false. There is nothing
in the covenant which in the least
interferes with or impairs the right
of Congress to declare war"
Now see how this statement agrees
with what President Wilson said on
the same subject on August 10, 1919,
when the election was farther off
than 1t is now. In a formal state
ment to the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee he used these exact
words:
"Article 10 seems to me to consti-
tute the very backbone of the whole
covenant. Without 1t the League
would be hardly more than an in
fluential debating society. 7. That
engagement constitutes very grave
and solemn moral obligation"
Senator Knox then asked this Ques-
ton:
Suppose that 1t is perfectly OBJ
vious and accepted that there Is an
externa aggression against some
power. would we be under any
legal obligation to participated"
The President replied: ''No sir ;
but we would be under an absolutely
compelling moral obligation"
Senator Harding asked: "If there
is nothing more than a moral obli-
cation on the part of any member of
the League, what avail Articles 10
and III"
President Wilson replied: "If we
undertake an obligation, we are
bound in the most solemn way to
carry 1t out"
Certainly. The United States will
not enter into any deception. 1t re-
spects its own pledges.

FORGOT SOMETHING


Governor Allen Of Kansas has ask
ed for federal investigation Of the
Chicago grain pit. This investigation
was asked especially in view Of the
fact that wheat suddenly has begun
an alarming tumble and doesn't
show signs of stabilizing itself.
But now comes Leslie F. Gates.
president OF the board Of trade, an
swering Mr.. Allen. "A federal inves-
tigation by the federal trade com
mission and bureau of markets has
been under way for three and half
years." he says.
Why bless us, we'd forgotten 1t.
Possibly they're still investigating
the cause Of the fire that destroyed
the ship Slocum once upon a time
Maybe the inquisitOrs still have I'M
der way the inquiry into the cause
of the Iriquois theater cOnfiagration
some time before. And, who knows.
perhaps somewhere in an Office
room, hoary headed investigators ap-
pointed years and years ago, still are
getting evidence to discover wheth-
err the COW kicked over the lantern
that caused Chicago to burn down.
Governor Allen might have known.
What is there that is, that is not be-
ing investigated. And did the gov
ernor suppose decision could pos
sibly be expected in the life time Of
the generation that asked the inves-
?-Salina Journal.
What you forgot was that the
members of the trade commission get
$4,000 a year and have 100000
for expenses. Why hurry?

FARMERS PROFITS

Of the farmers in the groups studied
have been making large profits dur

That the farmers average re-

That most Of them are max.
ing less than $500 cash per year
