Mr.. Dodson, Warns Against Use
Of Treacherous, Dangerous
Calomel.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on slug
gish liver When calomel comes into
contact with sour bile it crashes into it,
causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle of Dod
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
it may. salivate you, while if you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great, full of ambition and ready
for work or play, It's harmless, pleas
ant and safe to give to children: they
like it.

South Louisiana Fair a Permanent
Institution-Crows Stronger
Every Year.

The South Louisiana Fair is per
manent institution. It's fame grows
and spreads as it's usefulness and the
general good which it accomplasnes
become known and appreciated. 1t
is a medium for the interchange OF
ideas and experiences in agriculture.
stock and poultry farming and the
like, and it's sessions are looked Tor
ward to with much anticipation by the
people Of the entire South Louisiana
sectioA The aim and amb bon OF
the management is to continually I'M
prove. to make each succeeding fair
better than the last, and with this end
in view, preparations are already ur1-
der way for the 1920 fair scheduled
for October $40, which give promise
that it will far eclipse all of the
splendid fairs given by the assocla-
tion in the past.
The Sunday News, published n
Baton Rouge, in it's issue OF July IL,
had the following to- say relative to
the approaching fair:
<:The Donaldsonville people are
going to have larger fair this year
than ever before. This little fair has
grown from year to year until today
| it has become real function in the
parish of Ascension and the neigh
| boring parishes. -
",rhe people of Donaldsonville are
alive to the advantages of the fair,
| both from a commercial and agricul-
tur4 viewpoint. On Wednesday, Oc-
tobSr ., the day will be known Us the
! Baton Rouge Fair Day, and our peo-
pie are especially invited to attend.
"Mr. Vickers, who is the leading
exponent of the fair and of CONNER
cial relations, stated to the News re-
porter that he saw no reason why the
commercial men of Baon Rouge ne
glect the territory around Donald
sonville. He stated that it is rare
for people to see commercial repre-
sentative from Baton Rouge, and
that, comparatively speaking, very
little goods are purchased from the
local WI h2lesale houses. a
ii Mr. Vickers is trying to amedy
! the matter by giving a special Baton
Rouge day at the fair, so that our
commercial people can meet and
know the buyers of Ascension.
"Our Chamber of Commerce can
help to bring this trade to Baton
Rouge by putting the merchants on
!. to the fact that the booths, stalls,
etc, shall be free to our merchants
if they just go down there"
Besides being medium for the
interchange of ideas, experiences,
etc, the fair offers a splendid oppor-
tunity for advertising purposes to all
those who have goods and wares for
sale. Exhibits of all kinds are seen
by thousands of people from all sec
tions, and the fair, therefore, offers
exceptional advantages for the es
= tablishment of trade relations with
people from all parts of the soutf

r. Fl. Harris, state superintendent Of
public schools. The number Of boys
from that parish who will make the

and expenses Of these boys will be
paid by the parish through the school
board, the police jury, banks and prl-
yate individuals, and some are paying
their own expenses. Most Of them
were selected because Of the special
endeavor OF some particular club and

For Justices. Ist District

Nine Supreme Court justices arc
to be elected this year in the lst
District, comprising New York and
Bronx counties. Five justices now
on the bench-Messrs. Ford, Erlan-
ger, Giegerich, Guy and Platzek-
have been renominated by both par
ties. They will be easily reelected if
the average Republican or Demo-
cratic voter takes note of the fact
that nine candidates are to be select
ed and votes for the five who have
bipartisan Endorsement as well as
for four others who have merely
their own party's nomination.
The four Republican candidates
are Henry K. Davis, Robert McC.
Marsh, James O'Malley and Isidor
Wasservogel. Mr.. Davis is one of
the leaders of the Bronx Bar Asso-
ciation and member of the New
York County Lawyers Association
and the American Bar Association.
Last year he was nominated by the
Republicans for justice of the City
Court and was defeated by small
plurality. He is admirably equipped
for service on the bench.
Mr.. Marsh made an exceptionally
good record as an Assemblyman
from the old 25th Assembly District
Of New York County. He served
two terms, attended the Plattsburg
Training Camp, and when the war
broke out entered the army as a cap
tain of field artillery. He rose to
the rank of major before he was
mustered out of the service. He was
one of the founders of the New York
Young Republican Club and has been
an active worker for civic better
ment. He was admitted to the bar
in 1908 and has attained high stand
ing in his profession.
Mr.. O'Malley was an Assistant
District Attorney Of New York
County under District Attorneys
Whitman and Perkins and, for a
time, under District Attorney Swami
For the last three years he has been
q Special Deputy Attorney General
of New York State. The Bar Asso-
citation has indorsed him as "excep-
competent"

Cox's Deathbed Repentance

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Let no voter be deceived by Mr..
Cox's sudden slump on the League of
Nations. This death struggle repent
ance looks like catch penny scheme,
hatched up between the candidate of
the Democratic party and his master
Woodrow Wilson, including Mr.. Tum-
uty, to catch the unwary and easily
influenced voters.
At the beginning of his frantic cam
paign Mr.. Cox asserted sturdily that he
would stand by the League of Nations
covenant just as it was written by the
President, and that Is without any
change, even to the dotting of an 81" or
the crossing of at" But Mr.. Cox has
woefully changed He is now willing
to drop Article X, the center of Mr.
Wilson's hopes, or as he-the Presi-
dcnt-expressed it, the "heart of the
covenant" and to adopt any other
changes the dear Senate might suggest.

Harding Us. Hysteria
Tribune Readers Give Their
Opinions of the Cox Campaign

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: l desire to draw attention to
what seems to me a most unfortunate
feature of the campaign, which recalls
the state of mind of the pacifists before
America entered the war. An attempt
is again being made to persuade the
American people that we can obtain
guarantees of peace in some vague way
through the League of Nations Again
considerable numbers of citizens are
being worked up into state of hys-
terra. Instead of calm, dispassionate
discussion Of practical means to insure
world peace, we are having d kind of
evangelical campaign, which appeals
more to the emotions than to the head
For example, friend of mine, whom
greatly respect, when asked how he
expected to obtain a Wilson Cox League
Of Nations from q Senate of which more
than a third of the Senators are op-
posed to such a league, answered, "We
can abolish the Scnate!" Could any
thing be more astounding than the ap
peal Of number Of prominent citizens
to Governors of various states to desig-
nate League of Nations Sunday during
the heat Of Presidential campaign?
Governor Cox has lately given evi-
dence of this same hystercal state of
mind in his appeals for the Irish vote,
and now in his last hour shift bv avow
ing that he was willing to go to any
lengths in order to secure the League
of Nations. He has evidently realized
the strength of Senator Harding's posi-
ton that in the making Of treaties it is
the constitutional duty of the President
to consult the United States Senate
Unlike Senator Harding, however, he
IS Wiling to go to any lengths, even in
volvng the sacrifice Of principle, in
order to attain his end.
The obligations" which President
Wilson and Governor Cox would seek
by casustical reservations of an "in-
terpretive" character to "clarifv" and
which Senator Harding manfully saws
he would repudiate, are now asserted bv
no less person than M. Bourgeois the
head OF the League of Nations. to be
non essential. In other words the
position assumed by Senator Harding
and the Republican party is being fully
justified by the course of events. The
absurd claims Of Governor Cox and
others regarding the sacrosanct nature
OF the covenant are now being shown to
be nothing but the result of hysteria.
For all these reasons it seems to mo
that no matter what misgivings individ
ual citizens may have had regarding GER
tain features of the Republican party.
it would now seem perfectly clear that
the American people must look solely to
that party for the safe, wise direction of
the affairs Of the nation in the trouble
some days ahead. A party which can
boast of men of such high intelligence.
leadership and patriotism as Harding.
Coolidge, Taft, Root, Hughes, Hoover
and Wood may safely be trusted with

After the Tunault and the
Shouting

The Presidential campaign began
with one Wisconsin.
1t VII end as it began.
Mr.. Cox, while his attempts to
gain belated popularity may have
disquieted the master mind in the
White House, has never said fatty
that he is not in agreement with it.
Certainly, nothing in Mr.. Wilson'S
latest utterance can be interpreted
as anything but a plea to support
the Democratic nominee.
The election of Mr.. Cox would
mean the Endorsement of Wisconsin
and all that Wisconsin stands for.
1t would mean the Endorsement of
Article X and the CHASTITY entangle-
ments into which we would be
plunged by its acceptance.
1t would mean an Endorsement of
the muddling and muddled methods
Of administration which the country
has had to endure for the last eight
years.
Mr.. Cox has made frantic efforts
to drag other issues into the cam
paign, but he has not succeeded.
Wisconsin is the thing that people
do not want and will not have. Will
sonism is the thing that Mr.. Cox
stands for and all he stands for.
On that issue, and that issue alone,
will the election be settled. And we
are convinced that it will be settled
in way which will dispose Of it as
political issue forever.

Gather polished it off Here we have
the misunderstood, asthetically starved
boy, who steals and has his week OF
luxury and then kills himself. Probably
1t appears at least twice each wear in
every college fiction course. The thing
IS too easy and too we'll rounded.
Capital punishment ought to be abol-
ished in fiction and in the drama. It is
the tired, beaten, unimaginative story
teller who, failing to think up anything
better, leads out his chief character and
shoots him or throws him out of the
window. Then the writer feels that he
can sit back with a satisfied, "Well that's
that and get on to something else.
But he can't. At any rate, he ought
not to. If the play or the story has
really resolved around a problem the
problem remains just the same even
alter the character has been killed off
mat sort Of business may be we'll
enough for the Fates or the high gods
who, through dint of dreariness. have
been compelled to adopt a formula with
which to stave off every pressing prob
lem Of life, but it is not good enouqb
1or creative writer. Death is NOTHING
more than sort of cosmic as that
sou flung into the face of men who
have climbed up to fetch down fire.
1t won't do. Nobody, not even the old
ladies' who cut the threads, has right
to say to person who is eating his
heart out about something. ooh. 60 to
sleep and forget it." There isn't any
sort of sleep long enough and deem
enough for that. Things that are vital

that when the trumpet blows there will

stories do not exactly end, but rather
stop. Coming, Aphroditet" is such q
story, and so is The Diamond Mine. "
Things written in this spirit are
freed from the annoying air of being
all bound and cut and dried. We have
never been particularly enthusiastic
about most of O. Henry, because he
seemed generally to think up his last
line first and then work up to it. Such
hcton IS about as exciting as a worlds
series between the Reds and the White
Sox. Fiction writers ought to get along
without the aid of Eddie Cicotta and
Joe Jackson. Or if they insist that
they simply must know just where thew
are going to land up from the very
minute they begin, the least they owe
US readers is to refrain from winking
out of the printed page as much as TO
intimate that everything which happens
IS fixed and that they are in the know.
There should be at least the pretense

enough if it Is used as nothing more
than compass, but we hate to find it

is a regrettable break with the pro
gram of unity and cooperation in en-
forcement on which the Allied con-
cert at Paris was based.
If we and our friends fail to show
respect for the treaty how can We
expect the Germans to honor all of
its provisions? If there is not now
insistence that treaties must be ob-
served, it is striking a blow at peace
and neglecting an opportunity to
make the Germans learn one of the
lessons of the war.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: often wonder if the American
people fully realize that every word of
sympathy for Sim Ftin is a direct in
suit to our boys who lie dead in France
In 1916 Sim FGin sought the friend
ship and cooperation of Germany, the
pariah among civilized nations, those
brutes who had already sunk the Lusi-
tania and in other ways shown their
enmity toward the United States. Our
boys died for the cause against which

Whiting Down the Treaty

The French rightly complain that
they are being left with an unwork-
able treaty on their hands. Under
Its terms they hold lot Of German
O US. But these O US are not
collectble automatically. There are
no adequate penalties for German
failure to pay. The makers Of the
treaty went on the theory that
liquidation would be mechanical
that the Germans would keep faith.
Yet Germany is Offering resistance
to liquidation and asking for COM
promises at every point.
The French find that there are no
sanctions" in the treaty-meaning
by that no real guarantees of it's full
fillment. They had to occupy Frank
Tort IN order to compel Germany to
live up to her promise not to main
tam excess military forces in the
neutral zone east of the Rhine. Then
they were accused Of setting up for
themselves and rudely breaking
away from the velvet gloved policy
OF the Allied council At SPA thew
had to modify the treaty's coal de-
livery terms in order to placate
Lloyd George. Now Great Britain
has drawn further away from a
strict construction of Germanv's OBJ
hgations by renouncing the right to
confscate German private property
within the United Kingdom in case
Germany voluntarily defaults on
reparatlons.
The effect of this remuneration will
be TO encourage the Germans to
trade with Great Britain, since their
private property would be safer
there than IN countries retaining the
right to seize it The discrimina-
ton works against France and the
other Allied powers which do not
follow Great Britain's example in

France is Germany's greatest and
necdicst creditor The war was
fought = establish the sanctity of

was framed to impose penalties for
wronSdoing. But since it was signed
there has been a tendency in London
to allow Germany to escape these
penalties. And our government has
also given France little moral and
no material support in demanding
fUlfilluent Of the obligations which
Germany has accepted.

The Day Of the Competent

The seven hundred textile mills.
large and small, of Philadelphia and
vicinity until recently employed
total of some 225,ooo operatives.
To-day there are 10000 less, these
having been dropped either because
of incompetence or because they in
sisted on obeying radical leaders of
labor unions. An additional $4,000
are in danger Of discharge unless for
each dollar Of wages they furnish a
product that can be sold for dollar.
Such is the statement given out by
j. L. Benton, director of the Phila
delphla Textile Manufacturers AS
New-York tribune., 1920-10-29

sociation. He calls attention to the
fact that while radical leadership is
strong in Philadelphia, yet the old
union leaders and the workmen gen
orally have no use for the extremists.
"The textile manufacturers" he
adds, "are not opposed to unions.
They believe Tabor organizations
have done good, and will do good in
the future. But the manufacturers
are opposed to radical leaders and
are going to the mat with them, here
and now"
If Mr.. Benton correctly interprets
the purpose Of Philadelphia textile
manufacturers, they are confident
unionists generally have become
weary Of the burdens placed on their
unwilling shoulders by radicals and
slackers. Should this faith prove
to be we'll grounded, incompetents
and dupes of the troublemakers will
disappear, and Philadelphia indus
try will have turned an important
corner.
But it is to be hoped that the
manufacturers will not initiate the
folly Of the radicals, and when pos
sessed Of power proceed to abuse it.
During the next few months there
will be a special need for fairness,
good will and intelligence--especially
inteligence--on the part of both en-
ployers and employed. The two are
partners, necessarily so, and neither
can serve itself by flying at the
throat of the other.
