LEAGUE OF NATIONS
SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION
About Three Hundred Barrow
Folks Gather at the Court
House Saturday After
noon to Learn of
Pact.
About tlm>e hundred Barjow county
citizeug gathered at the Barrow coun
ty Court House last Saturday after
noon to listen to speeches on the sub
ject of the League of Nations.
At the request of several Barrow
county citizens, Mr. J. N. Ross con
sented to give his views on this im
portant subject. The meeting was non
partisan, and those present were seek
ing light and information.
• v No organization was formed nor was
any resolutions passed, but the audi
ence by a rising vote practically unan
imously went on record as being op
posed to Amecica entering the League
of Nations.
Judge Ross, in discussing the ques
tym, said in part:
“Fellow Citizens: We meet here
to talk of the disturbed conditions of
our country and to exchange views
relative to the proposed league of na
tions now being considered by the
United States senate. We are not can
didates seeking office, nor are we met
to advance the interest of any candi
date or any political party. We meet
as citizens of a great republic that has
ever avoided entangling alliance with
European countries and hope to see
this wise policy continued.
“There is confusion in church and
state, yet our people appear to wait
on one'man to do our thinking and to
direct the policy of this great nation.
We fear that the theories and dreams
of,one man have led to this confusion.
“Partisan publications and politi
cians refuse to reason on facts, open
to all of us, but readily cackle when
Mr. Wilson crows. All to save the
party at the expense of the country.
“We are taught not to show disre
spect, for ministers of the gospel or
those holding exalted positions in state,
especially our chief executive. Ordi
narily this i* easily practiced. When
the executive fills his constitutional
sphere and allows others to exchange
views politely with him, this is easy.
But when he, Atlas like, shoulders the
earth and claims to be commissioned
to' do all the thinking, all the talking,
and silences those who refuse to fol
low his lead with the assurance that,
their heads were placed on them only
to keep their bodies from unraveling,
conditions are unusual and our conduct
changes with conditions.
“A crazy engineer undertook to run
liis engine to the moon, and would
have wrecked his train and killed the
passengers had not the fireman felled
him with a bludgeon and shut off the
steam. Many able men are striving to
check the lead of this world-carving,
past-defying dreamer who leaps from
peace advocate to the world-warrior,
crying like Alexander, for a covenant
that will give his country a hand in
all the wars of the world.
’ “Talking peace, world peace, he
would bind us to fight whenever Eng
land or France called for help. Euro
pean countries cannot make peace cov
enants that will bind, we are told. The
U. S. A. must sign or war and desola
tion will spread over the world. Who
but, a dreamer believes that our sign
ing will prove so potent? Try it out
on the rioters in Washington, D. C.,
and Ghieaga before declaring it a
world soother. Some league advocates
tell us that we will not, have to fight
or surrender our doctrines of long
standing, or have our domestic rela
tions interfered with unless our con
gress orders it, regardless of the league.
Then why should anybody waste time
with the subject, if nobody is bound?
Friends, somebody is to be bound here
and somebody is to be benefited, but
not the U. S. A. W’e are billed to
lose. The Allied nations who fought
Germany and dismembered her fear
that anew alliance may be formed and
anew war made against them. Then
they will again call for our money
and men to kill men for the good of
the world,
“The church is calling for reconstruc
tion, a return to the old time religion.
(Individual faith, repentance and adher
ence to the teachings of the lowly Xaz
arene. War religion has disconcerted
the amen-eorner men. The Knights of
Columbus and the Y. M. C. A. have set
anew pace in Christian de\otion.
Over-zealous war Christians ad\ocate
a combining of forces. The building
of church houses with dance halls,
gymnasium ami theater attachments.
The Book tells of a similar undertak
ing on the Plain of Shinar. When
fanatics undertook to build a tower
and enter the better world through a
plan of their own devising. Put the
All Powerful One confused their lan
gimge and scattered them throughout
the land. The Bible and nature it
self teach us that the whole world
Cannot live in agreement under one
ruler. ‘Birds of a feather, flock to
gether.’ Animals of one species will
herd together and fight back those of
another species. Confine them in one
1 home and they destroy one another.
v “So with races. God marked with
color, temperament and mode of think
ing those who should live in harmony.
Ignore his markings and confusion fol
lows.
“We have suffered sufficiently in
this republic for ignoring God’s clear
ly indicated plan of living in this
world, by all the different races. “Eph
rain is joined to his idols, leave him
alone.” The United States of Amer
ica has troubles of her own. She has |
paid all she owes to any European I
country. She paid all she owed when,
she turned the Germans back in their j
drive to Paris. Then we advocate
bringing our soldiers home to live in
peace, under promise to protect the|
boundaries of no country against ag
gression, save this home land; to en
gage in no wars not of self defense
and of our own making. Let our boys
put on kaliki again when our own coun
try calls them to die in her defense and
to be buried on home battle grounds.”
At the conclusion of this speaker,
Col. John Kelly was introduced as a
young man who had just returned
from France, and he made a strong
argument against entering a league of
nations, and cited many utterances of
great men, including President Wil
son himself, why this country should
not enter such a league.
At the conclusion of Col. Kelly’s
speech, a call was made for someone
to give us a reason why we should
enter the league, but the audience re
mained silent, indicating that this
gathering was all of one way of think
ing.
A Traveling Man’s Experience
You may learn something from the
following by W. H. Ireland, a travel
ing salesman of Louisville, Ky. “In the
summer of 1888 I had a severe attack i
of cholera morbus. I gave the Hotel
porter fifty cents and told him to buy
me a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy and to take
no substitute. I took a double dose of
it according to the directions and went j
to sleep. At five o’clock the next j
morning I was called by my order and I
took a train for my next stopping
place, a. well man.”
*-" i
The Great Remedy
The merits of Chamberlain’s Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy are well known ,
and appreciated, but there is occasion- j
ally a man who had no acquaintance '
with them and should read the fol
lowing by F. H. Dear, a hotel man at j
Dupuyer, Moat. “Four years ago I
used Chamberlain’s Cplic and Diar
rhoea Remedy with such wonderful
results that I have since recommended
it to my friends.”
An Old Fault Finder
An irritable and fault finding dis
position is often caused by indigestion.
A man with good digestion and bowels
that act regularly is usually good na
tured. When troubled with indigestion
or constipation take Chamberlain’s
Tablets. They strengthen the stomach
and enables it to perform its functions
naturally. They also cause a gentle
movement of the bowels.

MERCHANTS AND ADVERTISING
During the past ten years a great
fnany small towns have been on the
down grade, from a commercial stand
point, owing to the inroads made on
their business interests by the large
cities, the mail order houses, far
mers unions and other forms of out
side competition. Many a country
merchant blames Uie automobile for
taking his business away from him, but
it is quite likely the automobile could
be made to bring trade to him as
readily as it, is made to tuke it else
where. The fact is that the country
merchant, like most of us, will blame
everybody and everything for his con
dition before lie will begin to lay the
fault to himself.
There is a store in a city of less
than 1,200 inhabitants in the state of
Ohio, which in the year 1010 did over
$400,000 worth of merchandise. It is
the biggest, country store in the Unit
ed States and it has made its town
one of the most important trading
points in the state of Ohio. Yet that
town has no better surrounding trade
territory than any other town of 1,200.
It was done simply by modern mer
chandising and advertising.
The merchant in the country town
has as good a chance to sell merchan
dise as anyone in the world if he will
only sell it, but a great many country
merchants have allowed modern meth
ods to leave them away in the rear
of the progress parade and have laid
down and let someone else do the
selling. In this connection it is safe
to say that in the trade territory of
nearly every small town, outside com
petition is doing more advertising,
twice over, than the local merchant.
The only way the country town can
successfully meet this competition is by
using the same tactics. In short, the
only remedy for a town that is going
down hill is modern merchandising
and scientific, systematic and persis
tent advertising.—Clarion (la.) Clip

TROOPS CHARGE
BRITISHSTRIKERS
LIVERPOOL, August 4.—Riotous
crowds were driven from the streets
of this city this morning by troops
charging with fixed bayonets. The
rioters, tilled the streets during the
night and it was not until daybreak
that, the soldiers were ordered to
charge. The cruiser Valiant and two
destroyers have moved ijito the Mer
sey river to protect the docks.
The employees of bus and tramway
lines failed to report for work this
morning. No notice of a strike had
been given, but it is not believed that
the movement was undertaken in sym
pathy with the policeman's strike.
The rioting thus far has resulted
Tii damage to the extent of $1,250,000,
it is estimated. Nearly 200 small shops
have been wrecked and looted. One
man has been killed, two others wound
ed by shots and 75 or 80 by glass,
stones or police batons. There have
been 400 arrests.
