Baxter sold so turkeys, Weighing
$50 pounds, for $2O4.8O, thus Civ
ing her a total OF $3.50 for her

would be glad to hear OF 1t thru

ter.
Mr.. Embry has been buying and
shipping turkeys from Madison

tributes the decrease to the inter

ling i'll their dairy work, as the
making and shipping OF cream has
become very profitable to a large
number, and for this reason they
are dcvotimg less and less atten-

The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1920-10-21

which the allied and associated powers and
many Whenever we make separate
peace with Germany we abandon the treaty
of peace and the League of Nations and all
of the guarantees therein to our govern
ment which our soldiers by their bravery
and their death won on the French front.
This issue is plain. A separate peace with
Germany if Harding is elected. Ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty and our entrance
into the League of Nations with such reser-
vations as the senate may deem necessary
to insure our position if Cox is elected.
Now what is the objection to our entering
the League of Nations? The only thing
sincerely urged against it is Article Ten
Now read Article Ten for yourself and
forget the misrepresentation of others. 1t
is as follows "The members of the League
undertake to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the territorial
integrity and existing political independ-
ence of all members of the League. In
case of any such aggression or in case of
any threat or danger of such aggression
the council shall advise upon the means by
which this obligation shall be fulfilled"
Advise, advise. 1t is all that the council
can do under Article Ten.
Under the constitution congress alone
is granted the power to declare war and to
send our soldiers abroad. Neither treaty
nor law can be superior to our constitu-
tion-the world knows that congress has
the moral right to accept or reject the ad-
vice of the League. Are not the American
people willing to trust congress on a ques-
ton of declaring war? Congress has the
right to declare war and send soldiers
abroad whether there is League of Ma
tions or not Congress did send two mil.
lion soldiers abroad to fight and there was
no League of Nations. The President un
der the constitution has the right to advise
congress to declare war but congress has
the authority to accept or reject that ad
vice. So long as it is only advice to con
gress it makes no difference whether tht
advice is given to congress by the League o.
Nations or the President of the UniteC
States, it still is up to Congress. AS fol
as the power of congress is concerned ther

laws of civilization but because upon the
disbandonment of armies and the breaking
of war associations it was absolutely nec-
essary to have some association, some ag-
ency that would look after the setting up
and sustaining of the new nations and gov
ernments that would sustain and pass up
on the pebescites and referendums of peo-
pies that would mark out the future boun-
Diary lines between these new nations and
that would compel the enemy to fulfill its
promises and obligations that were agreed
by the enemy to be fulfilled.
In the future to get new League of
Nations the treaty of peace with Germany
would have to be abandoned by all of the
nations and Germany would have to be
asked to make a new treaty. When the
treaty was made there were two million
American soldiers in France and more
French and British soldiers. They are not
there today Those armies have been dis
bandoned We don't want to have to raise
more armies for the purpose of again fore
ing Germany to sign just peace. We
have got to enter this League of Nations or
not be in any League of Nations. That's
the issue The Republican platform MAX
ers refused to endorse and approve the ac-
ton of the Republican senator's in the
United States senate in voting for the rati-
fication of the League Of Nations with the
Lodge reservations. The platform failed
and refused to endorse the League of Ma
tions in any form. Warren G. Harding in
his speech of acceptance said, 81 promise
you formal and effective peace so quickly
as Republican Congress can pass its dec
laration for the Republican Executive to
sign. Then we may turn to our readjust-
ment at home and proceed deliberately
and reflectively to that hoped for world re-
lationship which shall satisfy both consci-
ence and aspirations and still hold us free
from menacing involvement"
So the Republican candidates interpre-
tation of the Republican platform states
that he will Immediately make a separate
peace with Germany and then discuss
world relationships.
We cannot make two treaties of peace
with Germany. We cannot make a separate
treaty of peace with Germany and at the
same time be party to the treaty of peace
