This paper further points out:
If the officials Of Iron county are
correct in their interpretations, the
federal officials are in rebellion against
the laws of Michigan, Just as much as
the officials of Iron county are in re-
bellion' against the United States"
Another interesting question is raised
by the Springfield Union (Rep.)s
On the legal principle that case

sees them, They say that the Jap
anese government agrees that the over

! means birth control now or war OF
I aggression 20 years hence, and they
| nave decided on birth control for hui
name reasons Every book on the sub
| Ject which Mrs. Sanger recommended
to them Is being translated into Jap

Margaret Sanger is the. last person
one would expect to find leading a
reform. She is the mother of three
sturdy children herself, put in spite of
mus, and her years of strenuous work,
she has the delicacy and prettiness
or a wild flower, And she is emphat-
lcally not a wild-eyed radical 1t is
TO avert the revolution, to which some
people say the present economic con-
dltlop Is leading, that she advocates
the birth strike. However misguided
her opponents may feel her zeal to be,
no one who has talked with her can
fan to realize that her patriotism and
! love of humanity are so strong that
| she is ready to make any sacrifice for
| them.
Il feel she said recently, "it is so
| important to the welfare of this coun-
try where hordes of immigrant women
are bearing children, unwanted and un-
MT for life, according to our stand
ards, that / have been willing to 20

Before she took up this work she
was trained nurse in New York,
working among the two and three
room tenement homes on the lower
| East Side where families Of a dozen
chlldren were living in misery, and
also working in the uptown homes of
the wealthy where there were a dozen
| or more rooms and rarely more than
one or two children The poor mothers
| themselves, by begging her to help them
| unit their families so that the chill
IN decency, first gave her the idea of
| teaching birth control. She Went
abroad and studied it in England,
France, Spain and Holland, and came
| back here to see what she could do
to help her country women. Such men
a. n. G, Wells, Arnold Bennett, Gilbert
| Murray and HaVeoCk Ellis. are back
ing her once when she was arrested
| they wrote letter to President Wilson
| which caused him to have the case
! against her dismissed. 1t is hard to
imagine such Il delicate and gentle lady
AS Mrs, Sanger being arrested.
But all the policemen don't dislike
me, she said recently. with a quaint
| smile, Look at this lovely bronze vase
the chief of police of Toxic brought me
as ceremonial gift when he came to
get information for his country"
| The question Of birth control is be-
| ing discussed more and more freely,
but 1t is still unsettled. Are the women
who have the right to vote also going
to assume the right to voluntary moth
lerhood? Are mothers going to demand
proper living conditions and sufficient
| food for their children, or else refuse
to have the children? Win the stork
really strike?

This had a dampening effect on bull

been generally looked for by traders
seemingly because OF the more OPP

that, on the whole. the credit situa-

The rank and file Of market traders
refuse to take full cognlzance Of the
Importance OF money and credit in
relation TO stock market values. This
weeks sharp drop in prices has been
yarlously credited to the Polish stu
alton, difficulties experienced by the
Entente in disciplning the Turk, the
Irish question and what not. Yet the
fact remains that unsettlement in the
security markets has been primarily
due to the strained credit situation.
And 1t may be stated that most well
informed bankers do not anticipate
material enhancement in stock mar
ket values unel the credit situation
has been further materially relieved.

quite sharply. December wheat fell

opinion that the decline is not yet

MARION. o.. Sept. 6.-(A P.)-
After an extended conference yester-
day with Senator Harding. George
Wickersham, former republican attor
ney-general and an advocate of the
league of nations. issued a statement
declaring the republican nominee
would not wholly and finally reject
the league, but would take the lead in
revising the covenant and putting it
into practical operation
The senator recognizes" Mr.. Wick
ersham said, that the league is so in
terwoven with the fortunes of Europe
that its unobjectionable features must
be preserved to stabilize European
peace"
From Senator Harding there was
no expression on the subject, but it
was indicated that in the near future
he might make a public statement de-
failing his precise stand with regard
to acceptance of any portion of the
covenant as it was written.

East After Portland Speech.

PORTLAND, Sept. 6.-Governor
James NJ. Cox will speak at The DalIes,
Baker City and Ontario enroute
through Oregon. This announcement
was made at democratic headquarters
in Portland Saturday.
The Governor will speak ten minutes
from the rear of his train at the three
oregon cities. He reaches The Dalles
about p. m. Monday. Baker City 1880
tuesday, and Ontario at 10 the same
morning.
The Democratic Committee is con-
sidering other possible speaking dates
through Oregon to allow everybody
possible to hear the vigorous Ohio
governor, but hope of other addresses
than those now scheduled at Portland,
The Dalles, Baker and Ontario may be
abandoned to avoid the strain on Cox.
Unusual interest has been exhibited in
the coming visit of Cox because of his
latest slush fund exposures
