League of Nations Meeting in Paris

The meeting of the league of nations

address of Gov. James NJ Cox, demo-
cratic presidential candidate in 1920.

Mr.. Cox also held that much Of the
present turmoil in Europe would
have been avoided had the treaty Of

LEWIS REVOKES A CANADA MINERS
 UNION CHARTER
Denounces Strike Leader as Revolu- tionist Obeying Master in
 Moscow.

Atlantic City, July 27-John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, last week, re- Ivoked the charter of District No. 2o, embracing the Nova Scotia bitumin- ous fields. He also removed from office District President Daniel Liv- ingstone, District Vice President AL exander Mcintyre and District Secre- tary- Treasurer j. B. MacLachlan, and set up provisional district to func- ton within the jurisdiction of former District 26, under the international union representative, Silby Barrett of Glace Bay.
 Lewis instructed union miners in the district to return to work and ad- vised the British Empire Steel Cor poration, against which an unauthor- ized strike has been pending, that the international union has assumed the obligations of the existing joint wage agreement.
 Lewis rebuIed the district officers for their defiance of his orders to put the men back to work. "I have in mind that you are self-proclaimed revolutionist," the letter said in part Il am familiar with the constant i'm trigue between yourself and your evil genius, MacLachlan, and your revolu- tionary masters in Moscow"
 The trouble in Nova Scotia started when 8,ooo of the I2,ooo miners in District 26 two weeks ago went on unauthorized strike to protest the presence of provincial police and mill itia in the district to watch the prop erty of the British Empire Steel Cor poration, Ltd, whose employees are on strike. As soon as he learned of the strike Lewis sent word to his rep resentative to order the men back to work. His orders were ignored.
 Halifax, N. S., July 2o.-The $3,ooo bail each on which Daniel Livingstone and Albert MacLachlan are at liberty has been continued until July 25 be- cause of the absence of judges who were to decide on habeas corpus Writs.
 The mine officials are charged with circulating false and malicious state ments in general strike call two weeks ago.

VOTERS
 ROUT REACTION

St. Paul, Minn, July 27.-Bruisee and beWildered, reaction in this state lis crawling from under an avalanche of votes by the common people that has landed Magnus Johnson in the United States senate. He succeeds the late Knute Nelson, whose term would expire in 1924.
 This election may prove one of the features of political history, as it in dicates the revolt against standpat- ism that is sweeping the country
 Ii is probably the first time in the nations history that a state will not be represented in the United States senate by at least one adherent of a long established party.
 The election means that no one in the next congress vii insist that strikes be outlawed and that progress sivism will be decidedly fashionable. The election has jared reaction from end to end, and the agents of privi1- ege are terrified at the prospect of the revolt spreading.
 In a telegram to the senator-elect, President Gompers said:
 To have won so magn1hcently against all the power of high finance Is not only a personal tribute to you and the fundamental principles for which you stand, but also demon stration that the people are tired with mere word mongers and insist upon progressive, constructive legislation for all people, for the wealth pro- ducers on farms and in factories The people of Minnesota are to be con- graduated on their choice and the citizens of the coun- try are heartened'
 The election of Mr. Johnson re- duces the administration party's ma jority in the senate to six, as com pared with 2I in the last congress. The majority of six, however, is much less because that number includes Senators LaFollete of Wisconsin, Brookhart of Iowa, Norris of Nebras ka and Frazier of North Dakota.
 New York, July 27.-The Mime sota senatorial election that resulted in the defeat of Governor Preus has made Wall street disconsolate The Wall Street Journal Is furious, and snarls that "the cowardice in politics since the institution of the popular election of senators'
 "Radicalism is blackmail," shrieks this editor. "The Adamson law, the grain futures act, the LaFollette sea- mems law the wasted valuation of the railroads (another piece of La Toilette quackery) were all extorted from congress by terrorism"

SWITZER FOR REELECTION
MEMBER OF BOARD, BEAT 3

In the announcement column
of this issue of the Enterprise
will be found the name of R.
A. Switzer, candidate for re-
election as member of the
Board of Supervisors from Beat
three.
DR.. Switzer so far has no op-
ponent and probably will not
have one. He has served on the
Board for two terms, being
elected president of the body
soon after assuming the duties
of his office at the beginning of
his second term. He is famil-
lar with the duties of the Office,
takes the progressive and con-
structive side of matters and
still watches closely the eco
nomic side of affairs. The fact
that no one else has been
brought out for the place in
dicates that the voters seem
pleased with his services.
If reelected DR.. Switzer will
continue to fill the officein the
best manner possible and his
several years experience will
enable him to give better ser
vice from time to time.

The Stone County Home De-

afternoon at the home of Mrs.
j. B. Austin, Mrs H. Y. Quarles
and Mrs. Austin as hostess.
The subject Of the program,
"Home Conveniences," was well
carried out. Mrs. C. E. Pratt
gave an interesting talk which
was followed by a round table
discussion. The president, Mrs.
H. Y. Quarles, demonstrated a
homemade fireless cooker, not
only proving to the satisfaction
of all present that a fireless
cooker could be made at home
with very little cost but that
creole chicken cooked in it was
excellent.
Each guest was served a
generous portion of creole
chicken with saratago waters
and iced lemonade.
The attendance and interest
manifested at these meetings is
most gratifying to the officers
and members, and the growth
and success of the organization
to date gives promise of extend
ed influence and larger accom-
plishment.
