LEAGUE OF NATIONS
A BOM) THAT WOULD KILL AS
PIRATIONS TO FREEDOM
(From the Atlanta Georgian)
One of the objections which the op
ponents of the League of Nations urged
against the league in the Georgia pri
mary campaign was that it destroyed
the Monroe Doctrine, a cornerstone of
our international policy under the bene
ficial influence of which the American
continents have been enabled to de
velop free from the wars, the spolia
tions and intrigues of the Old World.
Advocates of the League of Nations,
with characteristic recklessness of the
truth, have replied that the League of
Nations really extends the Monroe Doc
trine to the whole world.
Here are the plain historical facts:
One of the most interesting phenom
ena of history it its extraordinary
tendency to repear itself, and one of
the most remarkable instances of that
tendency is the recrudescence of the
Holy Alliance under the alias of the
League of Nations. The Holy Alliance
was the after-war alliance of the mon
archical countries which succeeded in
overthrowing France at the end of the
Napoleonic wars.
It was organized for the purpose of
extirpating root and branch all the
social and economic and political
changes with the influence of the
French Revolution has wrought through
out the world.
His chief object was to accomplish
exactly what Article X of the League
of Nations seeks to accomplish, namely,
to guarantee the “territorial integrity”
to every nation comprising the alliance.
That meant the guarantee, to every
nation as it then existed at the end
of the war, of the spoils of the victory.
They called it the Holy Alliance be
cause they pretended that their objects
were holy. The preamble is as unctu
ous of piety and charity and good
will toward men as the preamble of
the league. It was even more fulsome.
The liberals of the world were sus
picious of it from the beginning, but
it did not show its cloven foot until
a revolution oecuml in one of the
Italian States against a terrible tyran
ny and the armies of the Holy Alliance
were sent to crush it. Then followed a
revolution in Spain against the corrupt.
Incompetent, tyrannical Spanish govern
ment. and the armies of the Holy Al
liange were sent to Spain to put it
down, and Ho nation dared to help the
Spanish people in their struggle for
liberty.
Americans of that day watched the
gradual throwing off of the disguise
of the Holy Alliance with great con
cern. Then came the revolutions in
South America against Spanish rule
and the setting up of republics there.
Then came the proposal by the Holy
Alliance to send its armies to America
for the purpose of restoring “territorial
integrity,” even as Article X would
oblige the armies of the league to re
store “territorial integrity.”
At this point America intervened.
President Monroe sent a message to
Congress in which he declared that
MAY ALL I SON*
America was for Americans and that
we could not tolerate the interference
by the Holy Alliance in American con
cerns.
The country responded to that mes
sage, and it has become one of the
great traditional policies.
It has been seriously questioned only
once. France tried to ignore it when
\Ve were in the throes of our own
great Civil War, and could not help
ourselves. Then France sent an army
to Mexico, seized the country and set
up one of the family of the Austrian
monarchial house on the throne as
emperor of Mexico.
When our one and last Civil War
was over, France received notice to
get out, and she did get out as quickly
as ships could carry her army.
Once again, not very many years
ago, in Cleveland’s administration,
England challenged the Monroe Doc
trine in the Venezuela dispute. Ameri
ca accepted the challenge immediately
and Great Brittain hastily agreed to
arbitrate her difficulty with Venezuela
and not attempt to settle it her own
way by an army, as she proposed to
The Monroe Doctrine protected small
er nations from oppression. The prin
ciple of the Holy Alliance and its
counterpart, the British League of Na
tions, confirms and perpetuates the
oppression which the greater empires
exercise over the subject nations, and
not only confirms this subjugation and
oppression, but pledges this free coun
try of ours to prevent other nations
la-coming free. Not only, therefore,
is our historic Monroe Doctrine nul
lified, but also our declaration of In
dependence, which for a century and
a half has been the beacon light of
liberty to the world.
Of course Article X does not compel
us to fight against revolution in a
country, unless the revolution is aided
from without; but the liberties of peo
ples in modern times have not been
won by revolution unaided. We did
not win our own revolution without the
aid of a foreign nation, which assisted
us more because she wanted to weaken
an enemy than because she wanted to
assist us.
Not one of the small nations in Eu
rope has secured its liberty from a pow
erful oppressor except with the aid of
a foreign nation, seeking more to crip
ple the oppressor than to aid the op
pressed.
That is just what Article X would
prevent.
Under Article X France could not
have aided us in the revolution. France
could not have aided Switzerland, even
further back, to win her in dependence
against the Duke of Burgundy. We
could not have aided Texas in IS4S.
We could not have aided Cuba in lKfls.
Western Europe could not have aided
Greece to win her independence from
Turkey. Russia could not have aided
the Balkans to win their independence
from Turkey. The enemies of Spain
could not have aided Holland to win
her freedom. The enemies of France
could not have aided Belgium to win
her freedom. France could not have
aided Italy to win her freedom from

MAY ALLISON IN
DRAMATIC PICTURE
The ever-increasing number of mo
tion picture fans whom May Allison's
every appearance is un event will have
the opportunity Monday at the Strand
Theater to set* the golden-haired star
enact a part unusual even In the long
list of her success; that of Mary Man
chester, heroine of George Hilda* Tur
ner's magazine story, previously print
ed in The Red Book Magazine.
Since “Fair and Warmer” and later
"The Walk-Offs,” Miss Allison has done
one character calling for emotional ex
pression—that of Vashti, the healer,
in “The Cheater”; and so tremendously
well was this departure from her hith
erto lighter media of expression re
ceived that she has essayed the difficult
task of making the wan little Mary
Manchester actually live.
The story, according to advance in
formation, revolves about the con
spiracy of two unscruplous bankers to
retain possession of a rich young wid
ow’s fortune. When she dies they
engage a young girl who resembles
her closely, to impersonate the woman
whose money they still seek to hold in
trust.
PRE-WAR PRICES ON
FORD AUTOMOBILES

ment said.

war methods, war prices, war prof
iteering, and war greed. It may be
necessary for everybody to stand a
little sacrifice, hut it will be the most
profitable aftei all, because the sooner
we get business of the country hack
to a pre-war condition, progress, pros
perity and contentment, will occupy the
attention >£ the people.
“Fof rle best interest of all, it is
time u real, practical effort was
made to bring the business of the
country and the life of the country
down to HMual. Inflated s al
ways ’’eiard progress."
The announcement said the price
reductions were made despite unfilled
orders for 146.06S vehicles.
There will he no reduction in wages
at any of the Ford plants, it was an
nounced.
KELI.OY SINGS GRAND
OPERA IN DEATH CELL
Griffin, Sept. 21. —Forty-five inmates
of the Spaulding County jail and resi
dents for several blocks in that vicini
ty of Griffin are being treated to almost
continuous daily grand opera and vaude
ville concert preformances from the
iron cage of Jack L. Kelloy, convicted
of the murder of Leßoy Trexler, At
lanta taxicab driver, and sentenced to
hang here on October 29.
When I’m Gone,” a comparatively
late popular song, seems to be a fa
vorite with Kelloy, although lie seems
to have an unlimited number thorough
ly memorized. Numerous selections
of the grand opera class were rendered
by the condemned man on Sunday, his
excellent voice being well pitched for
the distinctively foreign notes.
That Kelloy is a talented and high
ly trained musician is no longer doubt
ed by those who have heard him. Neith
er is his statement that he spent some
years in vaudeville any longer question
ed by tlie jail atten lants, who say he
frequently does some of the most grace
ful buck-dances they have ever seen off
the professional stage.
1 Things are no so dead under Vol
steadism that a man can get a lot of
excitement out of staying home nights
and reading Pilgrims Progress, says
Luke McLuke.
Austria, and now France and England
and Italy could not have aided Czecho
slovakia and Poland to establish their
independence of Austria-Hungary and
Germany if there had been a League
of Nations with Article X.
Indeed, if there had been a League
of Nations with Article X in existence
heretofore, the half of the world which
is free would have remained enslaved.
OIL IS DISCOVERED
IN BARROW COUNTY
Is there oil in Barrow county?
Will the future read of oil magnates
whose birth-place is in Barrow? it is
possible.
For some time there has been great
interest manifested in oil signs around
the celebrated T. C. Flanigan mineral
spring in the western part of this coun
ty-
Along a branch that runs through
the plantation of Bagwell, l’irkle,Eth
ridge and Kilgore the indications of
oil are many. In some places you can
push a stick in the ground and with
draw it and the fumes from the hole
will burn for several seconds. In one
place the blaze was so strong thut a
small stick was burned into.
Monday, Mr. Brough, now if Athens,
(la., who for the past twenty years
has been the oil expert of the E. T.
Williams Company, of Denver, Col.,
made an inspection of the territory in
question, and gave it as his opinion that
there is no doubt of the presence of
oil, and advised the owners of the
land to organize and dig wells, and for
that purpose he designated two places
locate wells.
He said that inspecting oil lands
had been bis particular business for
twenty-one years and that he is to
leave soon for Indiana in the interest
of the Williams Company. He was over
in Athens visiting his son, and hearing
of the presence of oil in this county,
lie made three trips to the field, with
out charge for his services, and he
says that the sign points to oil, and
nothing hut wells, as in all cases, will
tell the story of the riches underlaying
the surface. Oil may he there in vast
quantities, and yet it may not be there
in workable quantities.
The owners of this land and other
interested parties in all probability
will organize and sink a test well.
May they strike oil, and may the
usual rush to the oil fields result.
Luke McLuks Says
Our idea of a smart girl is one who
can make her complexion taste as good
as it looks.
It is tough to admit that the crabs
and the grouches seem to prosper in
this country. The trouble is that if
you are kind and good-natured people
will try to use you for a door mat.
