BORAH REJOICES OVER
WILSON PACT LETTER

New York, Oct. 3.-"Just say the
President is a very sick man" said
Senator william L. Borah. when
confronted tonight with President
Wilson's appeal on behalf Of the
league Of nations.
Il rejoice with the President that
We are having a great referendum"
he said. Il did all l could to help
him get it. The people will now
decide il, and the vote in Maine in
dicatss that the people are becoming
acquainted with the league.
The issue is simplifed and ac-
Centudted by the President when he
states that il is the league as writ
ten into the treaty that must be
voted up or voted down, no changes.
no reservations. Gov. Cox will take
notice that his statement on the
train yesterday that he would sit
down with the Senate and work out
reservations has aroused just re-
sentiment in the President. 1t is the
league as Europe handed it to US
which we are to take or none at all
The President speaks of the
United States giving up her op-
portunity to lead in the assertion
of the rights of people. There are
dI p4NSGuL HtdElN JUU,UUU,OuU SUD-
ject peoples at this very hour re-
sisting the domination and control
placed over them by that league.
Some of them are lighting for their
independence and freedom which is
being withheld by the military au-
tocracy established by the league
and treaty. ! quote from a great
English paper which held in my
hand when the Presidents appeal
was handed TO me:
I'VE promise this population its
freedom and we hang and shoot
them for claiming it. It is a dis
grace to our imperial record
The people here spoken of are
the people of Mesopotamia.
The fact is the treaty and league
invited the United States to become
member Of a military autocracy
to hold in subsection and exploita-
tion millions of human beings who
are just as much entitled to their
freedom as We are"

REPUBLICAN SPLIT
BELIEVED UNLIKELY
IBy Universal Service,

Marion, Ohio, Oct 3-Republican
managers here believe with Senator
Harding that any chance Of defec-
tion within the party ranks over the
league of nations issue is passed.
This became apparent today on
receipt by the Republican candidate
of the full stenographic report Of
the address OF Senator Hiram John
son, of California, made at Los An
geles September 25. The text Of the
address. in the opinion of Senator
Harding 'dissipates conclusiveIy
that Senator johnson is out of hsr-
mony with the platform and the
candidate"
Starting out early tomorrow, Sem
ator Harding will motor to Fremont.
Ohio. where he will make an ad-
dress at the unveilipg Of a soldiers
monument. Unless Gov. Cox alters
his plans, the two party leaders will
meet at Fremont tomorrow for the
first time in the campaign.

TO BORAH'S VIEWS
tBy UniveFssl SerSice.l

Marion, Ohio, Oct 3.-The word
tonight that Senator william z.
Borah would fight the league OF
nations. under any name" during
the campaign. brought an immedi-
ate answer from Senator Warren
G. Harding, the Republican can
didate.
Although it is inferred from the
Borah ultimatum that he is going
to oppose the association Of ma
tions" plan, which the Republican
standard bearer has so frequently
advanced as q substitute for the
league, Senator Harding's reply was
somewhat in the nature Of a chal-
lenRe to the Idaho Senator.
Il do not pretend to have any
part in Senator Borah's attitude.
He has always opposed any league
plan, as he has perfect right"

UNREST
DECLINE SHOWN
New York Factory Turnover
Decreasing Rapidly,
Report Shows.

New York Oct. 3.-Decrease in the
unrest of both skilled and unskilled
labor is shown in u series of tables
made public today by the Merchants
Association of New York.
The tables indicate that labor
turn-overs in forty-two manufactur-
ing plants have been very large this
year, particularly in the field of un-
skilled labor.
The tendency now seems to be in
the opposite direction" the report
says. Labor turnover at the pres
ent time is on the decrease" Labor
turnover is looked upon as an in
fallible barometer of rest or unrest
among the wage-earning classes"
The turnover is computed by di-
vidiug the number Of employees re-
placed during a year with the aver
age number of persons on the pay
roll during the same period. \ sum-
mary prepared in this manner shows
that one-third OF the factories inves-
tigated had turnover of 200 per
cent or more during the first eight
months Of 1920.

of the unexploited wealth contained
in the italian undersoil, which the
government proposed to develop.
The fact is that Italy has struck oil

Government researches in Basili-

Up to now Italy produced only 5000

In a few years she should be able
to overcome the tremendous indus

ponents Of the league of nations
Grey. tor instance. whom
Senator Harding has been quoting

into the league as they are with
the fact OF its entry.
With or without reservations.
this league of nations ties us po-
litically to Europe for all time" has
been one Of the fayorite arguments
of Senator Borah.
Protest against any pro-league
tendency on the part of the Re-
publican nominee will be confined
to attacks upon the league itself
for the present. though it is known
that the Root world court plan is
causing them some apprehension.
On that point they are awaiting

forces.
While Senator Borsh is apparent

nominee on his own account he
has been in constant communica-
tion with Senator Johnson, Of Cal

Foes Of the league are determined
that they must have strict ac-
counting on that issue before cleo

nominee must be clear explained

he added. An outburst eclipsing
this one will come the moment Elihu

that will develop no one knows as

1T had been generally under
stood that Mr.. Root was to go TO
Marion, Ohio, for a conference witt

probably figured that they would
be able to square the Harding can

to have Mr.. Root preside at the

COcOanut Oil Fine
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared sham yoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit tie, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is much better than anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy father, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily, and re- moves every particle of dust, dirt, .dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and few ounces is enough to last every one in the family for months.
