can politics was there a program so
comprehensive and costly. With mill
tary precision, every man has n sphere
of operations assigned to him. For
six weeks to come their one objective
will be the ballot box.
If this mighty demonstration of par
tisan vigor and efficiency were honest
/ ly directed it would be inspiring in
many ways, butts its lack of honesty
was everywhere in evidence. From the
speeches delivered by the leaders we
are able TO estimate the utterances
of ALL The keynote of Senator Hard
ing, Senator Lodge, former Justice
Hughes, Candidate Miller in New
York and National Chairman Hays,
not to mention others, was most forci-
bly, sounded in the words of the last
named orator when he said that the
question, which the people were to
decide was "whether foreign govern
ments shall order soldiers of this coun-
try to foreign soils to settle for
eign disputes.
We have had many political contests
involving conflicting policies, mis-
understandings, prejudices, Ignorance
and warning interests, but this is the
first time that a great party has Ia
ken up its position upon an unqualified
falsehood. The purpose is to discredit
and defeat the existing league of
nations and its authors and sup
porters To say that anything in the
covenant empowers foreign govern
ments to order our soldiers to foreign
soils to settle foreign disputes is to
proclaim an untruth both baseless and
wicked.
Thirty-nine nations, including every
great power except the United States
have entered the league of nations
with full understanding of every
obligation assumed. Although the
responsibilities of the covenant apply
to them precisely as they do. to us,
opposition has been confined to a few
perfectiOnists on one side and to
small groups of irreclaimable Tories
on the other Is it conceivable
that all the progressive peoples of
the earth, barring only ourselves, have
signed away their liberties and sur
rendered their war making power to
an authority beyond their control2
If the United States is ever to as
sumo position of honor, dignity and
power in the complicated affairs of
the world its statesmen and political
parties must have some regard for
truth The Republican national com
mittee s 5000 falsifers are going to
be exposed some day, but the mis-
chief that they will do will be
lasting. 1t will poison our foreign
relations fer years to come. 1t will
be an incentive to demagogy and
deceit on the part of every turbulent

Teadjustment, which they knew some
time must come. Although these MAN
facturers were in position to
longer maintain a high selling price
for their product, based on costs of
labor and raw materials, they appear
to have decided that, inasmuch as
loss must come, it would as well
be taken Immediately. Even though
profits are sacrificed, demand for the
product will be increased, and what
is lost in a diminished selling price,
no doubt will be gained in increased
volume of sales.
For time, much criticism was
voiced with respect to retail merchants
increasing the selling price of goods
they had in stock, every time the
wholesale price advanced. The mer-
chant, with his money invested in
wares on his shelves, was thought
to have taken undue advantage of
the public in boosting the price to
what would be fair margin over
the wholesale price, if the goods were
bought on the open market Compare
lively few paused long enugh to real
ize that, when the drop in prices came,
the merchant whose stock was bought
at high prices, would be required to
reduce the retail price, in many in
stances far below the wholesale cost
prevailing when the goods were pur
chased. 1t was the prudent dealer
who followed the upward trend of
wholesale prices, and increased his
prices accordingly, and likewise it will
be the prudent merchant who will,
in the sale of his merchandise, be
governed by diminishing wholesale
prices.

Stand Until Case Is Heard
On Its Merits

Telephone subscribers, through
their attorney Prosecuting Attorney
Paul M. Ashbaugh, have won the first
round IN their fight against the Mt.
Vernon Telephone company, according
to written opinion of Judge Wood,
of Morrow county, received at the Of
flee OF the clerk Of courts shortly be-
fore noon Tuesday.
In the case Of John Cunningham and
fifty others against the Nit. Vernon
Telephone company, Judge Wood ov-
srruled the motion and demurrer Of
the defendants, which permits the
temporary injunction to stand until
the case can be heard upon it's merits
in the common pleas court of Knox
county.
Almost every person in Knox cour.
ty is familiar with the case.
John Cunningham and others filed
suit against the Mt. Vernon Tele-
phone company some months ago to
restrain the defendants from putting
into effect new schedule Of toll
charges throughout Knox county. A
temporary injunction was Immediately
granted by Probate Judge Philip L.
Wilkins.
After the, case had been filed in
the common pleas court the defend
ant, the telephone company, through
It's attorney, Henry G. Devin, filed q
motion and demurrer to the petition
of the plaintiff. The demurrer alleg
ed that the petition did not contain
facts sufficient for cause of action
and that the common pleas court had
no jurisdiction in the case, the de

will, in all probability, file an answer
to the plaintiffs petition and the case
will then be heard upon it's merits in
the Knox county common pleas
court.
The decision of Judge Wood fur
ther means that the contracts held
by subscribers of the Mt. Vernon
Telephone company are all valid and
binding.
In reference to these contracts the
court in his opinion says:
eve think that after the defendant
company entered into contracts, as
alleged in the petition, that it would
be estopped. to put in motion on its
own application the machinery to
avoid these contracts.
"The defendant company is in no
position to question the validity OF
these contracts as they were of their
own making and until complaint is
made from some other source as to
discriminate or render preference as
to rates, among its subscribers, we
! see no reason for defendant company
to complain.
when the application was filed
with the commission for the approval
of the schedule of rates, August 80
| 1919, If the application had shown
/ these outstanding contracts for one
/ year as alleged, which would be rea
sonable time, we have no doubt but
that the commission would have ap

to the contracted rights then exist
ing as not being discrimination or un
reasonable preference as to rates.
while the demurrer admits thu
contracts as alleged in the petition
the defendant company in behalf say.
1t is not true as to the existence OF
contracts; if defendants contention

case would be easily solved by tn,

"lf no contract exists, then plain
