LEAGUE or TREASON"
SAYS SENATOR REED
Reveals Offer of Convention Seat
If He Would Remain Quiet
On League

The league of nations was
denounced as a League of treason
and covenant of national death"
by Senator James A. Reed, who
returned here recently from San
Francisco, where he was refused
seat as delegate to the Demo
cratic national convention.
Senator Reed, addressing a
mass meeting in convention shall
here declared that he was priv
ately assured "by grapevine
message" while his case was
being the credentials committee
of the committee of the conven-
ton would seat him if he would
agree to keep silent in regard to
the league of nations on the con-
vention floor. His refusal to
make such an agreement was re-
sponsible for his being denied a
seat, he said.
IF there is one lesson that
country needs to learn" F" Senator
Reed said in his speech. 1T is
that this is not a one-man country.
If you would need this republic
safe, you must do your own think
ing. You, the people, are the
source of all power. The sooner
you exercise it the better it will
be for you and for the country"
Senator Reed denounced the
Democratic convention at San
Francisco as "a convention afflic-
ted with international blind stag
gers"
Robert Lansing, ex.secretary
of state, he described as the only
man whom the President took to
France with him who knew any
thing about international law,
and about The only one who had
common sense;" and he
asserted that Lansing's removal
from office was the result of his
insistense upon warning the
people of the true meaning of this
league with treason, this coven-
ant of national death. "-Doyles-

Changing the subject, a man
said to me the other day in Mt.
Eagle that prohibition and wom-
ans suffrage would ruin the
country. Yes" said l, that
has been the plea of the devil
for ages. He has fought her and
her seed all along the line and
encourages man to keep her be-
low any other human being.
She is slave to man and al
ways has been. A few million
of negro women in the south are
a terror to the despots that want
to keep half the human family in
subjection. The liquor element
fear she will boost prohibition un-
til they viii have to give up
their booze.
Women have never in all the
world been detrimental to the up
lift of the human family. The
Sarahs, Rebeccas, Marthas and
Marys have proved themselves
worthy of being canonized, not
only those ancient women, but
thousands of others have been
helpful, and as such no man
has excelled in virtue and good
work. Let the women alone.
They have done what they could.
The seed of the woman shall
bruise the serpent's head and
the devil knows his time is short
and he is fighting her from ev-
cry source, but win she will and
save her children in the end.

| have been scanning closely

proud to say all you correspond
ents have almost unanimously
raised the moral tone and stand
ard of the News as high as il
could be raised by the cultured
and refined of any local paper.
Thank you, j. G." for your
ever welcome letter, not because
you mentioned my name. but be-
cause you stand for the best pub
lie school and the best Sunday
school. and | guess you claim
the best church. You seem to
praise your officers elect. Well,
encourage them all you can, and
if they are the kind of men you
appear to believe they are they
will appreciate your help. l be-
lieve the News would like to have
its people take advanced steps
for the social, moral and finan-
cial uplitt of the whole county.
| contend whatever the people
want thew can have if thew will
cooperate together. Some peo-
pie are so partisan and sectarian
that they can't see anything good
in the other fellow. We all want
good roads, but somehow the
ones in the lead put in too much
time fat frying, which there is
no use of. The people are anx-
ions for good roads and voted to
bond Grundy county and elected
road commissioners, but not a
yard of road yet.
Our public officers are too lazy
and trifling to serve the people,
or they are not competant, one
of the two. No company or in
dividual would retain men in
their employ who idled away
their time like Grundy county's
road builders are doing. "Oh'
we'll, Uncle Tom, don't kick. "
Well, nobody else will, $50 I say
to the county court. don't pay
them penny until they do some
thing. believe a man should
do his best when intrusted by
the people as he would to indiv-
uals. Seems like all they want
is to get a position and then idle
away. their time, pretending. to
do and not doing.
| want to be fair, but some
how men eabuse the confidence
men give them so that a real
good spanking is necessary, and
further. it looks like the people
can't get anything worth hav-
ing without hard struggle.
That which they don't want
comes to them in abundance.

Resolutions Adopted by the Methodist
Sunday School. Nov. Ia, 1920.

Whereas, it has pleased our Heaven
ly Father to call from this imperfect to
that all-perfect and celestial world
above our beloved friend and leader,
Mr.. H. G. Goodwin, who labored so
earnestly with US at all times; and
Whereas, he lived to the ripe age of
seventy years, having been charter
member of the Colfax Methodist church
and Sunday School for period of
thirty-nine years; and
Whereas, his life of faithfulness to
his church and devotion to God has
been in every respect worthy of emula-
ton not only by the church and Sunday
school but by the entire community as
well; and
Whereas, we desire to commit to
writing a simple tribute to the memory
of one whose well-spent life has been
blessing to those who knew him best;
Therefore, be it resolved, that we,
the Methodist Sunday School, do here
by extend to the bereaved family of
our beloved friend and brother, II. G.
Goodwin, our sincere sympathy in
their great sorrow, and point them to
Him whom he so long worshiped and
loved, and who alone can comfort the
sad and brokenhearted.
Resolved. that his life of devotedness
will inspire US as Sunday School to
walk more closely in the footsteps of
Him who was ever his friend and guide.
Resolved that copy of these resolu-
tons be sent to the bereaved family,
that copy be placed on the Sunday
school record, and copy be furnished
the Colfax Chronicle for publication.

ings.
A new carburetor which cuts down
gasoline consumption of any motor,
including the Ford, and reduces gaso-
line bills one-third to one-half is the
proud achievement of the Air Friction
Carburetor Co., 307l Madison ST., Day.
ton, Ohio. This remarkable invention
not only incre ases the power of all
motors from 80 per cent to 80 per cent,
but enables everyone to run slow on
high gear 1t also makes it easy to
start Ford or any other car in the
coolest weather without previously
warming the motor. With it you can
use the very cheapest grade of gaso-
line or half gasoline and half kerosene
and still get more power and more
mileage than you now get from the
highest test gasoline. Many Ford
owners say they now get as high as 45
to so miles to a gallon of gasoline.
So sure are the manufacturers of the
immense saving their new carburetor
will make that they offer to send it on
80 days trial to every car owner. As
it can be put on or taken off in few
minutes by anyone, all readers who

facturers at once. They also want To-
cal agents, to whom they offer excep-
tionally large profits. Write them to-
