WILSON OF FOES
PRESIDENT FIGHTING HARD FOR
LEAGUE—REVEALS A NEW
SELF.
PACT OF A WORSE WAR
Thousands Acclaim Mr. Wilson In Mid’
die West On Most Important
Trip Of His Public
Career.
Kansas City, Mo.—lt is anew kind
of Woodrow Wilson that this middle
western country is observing as he
proceeds on what he frankly calls the
greatest journey of his life. No longer
is he simply an eloquent orator or a
profound thinker with high ideals. The
president has become a real fighter,
and in his crusade for the adoption
of the peace treaty with the league
of nations included, the only pre
ventive, he asserts, of an early and
more terrible war that the world has
ever known, he has been delivering
the strongest speeches of his career,
putting into them his most powerful
words and gestures, and, indeed,
throwing into them a personality more
virile than even his friends believed
he possessed. And this has won more
friends for him and the league, even
among his political opponents.
A Republican crowd of 1,500 in St.
Louis Friday rose and cheered for
more than a minute when Mr. Wil
son designated as "quitters" these ene
mies of the league who have been
holding up its adoption.
A mixed assemblage of more than
12.000 in Indianapolis on the preced
ing night roarei approval when the
president, referring to these same
obstructionists of the league, defied
them to “put up or shut up.”
The president challenged them to
produce something as good or better,
If they did not want to accept this
plan of preventing future wars. Be
fore the St. Louis chambers of com
merce, the president, explaining the
purposes of the league, described it
as a "chart and constitution for anew
item for the world” —a system de
signed to prevent wars by protecting
the weak, who have always been the
cause of ars, a system entirely con
tradictory to the old political system
of the world. It was for the purpose
of ending war that America entered
the world conflict Mr. Wilson remind
ed liis hearer he demanded to know
of his opponents how they would keep
out of war if they failed to take part
in the great pact to protect the weak.
He recalled the pledges that all Anier
ica made, that we should have a share
In this great pact. Then, referring ta
those who now opoose the league, he
said: “They are absolute, contempti
Me quitters if they don’t see the game
through.” America will he despised,
suspected and distrusted unless she
goes forward with her bargain, the [ires
dent added in the St. Louis speech.
To all of (he objections to the league
Mr Wilson offered explanations that
satisfied his uudian£§, The much dig
cussed article ten did not mean, he
said, that Americans would ever have
to send troops across the seas to fight
other nations’ battles. Indeed, with
a leagi; \ there would be no more bat
ties, ho explained, at least the pos
nihility was very remote.
Each nation agrees, first, he ex
plained, either to submit differences
to arbitration and accept the decision
of the arbitrator, or submit the dif
ferences to discussion by the council
of the league. In this latter case, the
nations agree lo allow six months for
the discussion. If settlement failed
after that time, they agree to wall
three months longer before going tc
war, aiul no nations after that period
of ''cooling off" would fight he asserted
In case a nation refused to agree
either to arbitration or discussion it
outlawed itself, the president explain
ed. It would be economically and so I
daily boycotted by the rest of the
world, and this punishment, he said,
would be more terrible than war.
As to Japan's holding of Shantung
peninsula, the president said he agreed
to that only because Kngland and |
France, by secret treaty, had given j
the territory to Japan, hut he was]
sure, he said, that Japan would, as she
ha>T promised, return it. Of those
league opponents who pose as Ohriua'g
friends in this matter, he inquired
"How do they expect to get Shan
tung back for China if not through the
league? Would they go to war for it’
Accusing them of tearing the re
sponsibilities of the league, he de
•inanded: "If you are China's friends,
should you scuttle and run? That's
not tho kind of American I am." Again
the crowd rose and cheered.
>. The president explained America's
need for being part of the league be-1
cause of business reasons, but said |
they came last in his mind. He said ;
in conclusion, at St. Louis: "If there
is no league, there will be, in the
vengeful providence of God, another.
struggle in which not merely a few |
hundreds of thousands of Americans!
will have to die. but as many millions
as may be necessary to accomplish the
final freedom of the world."
More than 100,000 persons lined the
streets of the Missouri metropolis as
the president and his party paesed
through, and a wave of cheers marked
his progress. At the luncheon at
which he spoke, he was hailed as the
"Benefactor of the World," and again
as the “Greatest Citizen of the World."
In the evening he spoke to 8.000 at
the colliseum. and on the previous
night to twice that many in the In
dianapolis oolliaeum. to which b
drove through five miles of cheering
crowds. HU tour thus far is a triumph.
WHAT THE AMERICAN COTTON
ASSOCIATION PUNS TO DO
Atlanta, September 10. —(Special.)
With its offices now well established
here, in the state senate chamber,
state capitol, the Georgia Division of
the American Cotton Association is
ready to pitch into an active and vig
orous campaign, immediately follow
ing the big New Orleans fneeting, un
der the leadership of Major D. F. Mc-
Clatebey, secretary of the senate and
former secretary of the Georgia food
administration.
“Just what is the American Cotton
Association?" is a question that is
now heard all over the South, usually
accompanied by the statement, "I
know in a general way, but am anx
ious to know all about it.”
The man who reads the newspapers
couldn't help knowing about the Amer
ican Cotton Association; and pretty
soon he will be so well posted that
he will be informing others about it.
Producers Must Organize.
Preceded by the Cotton States Ad
visory Marketing Board which did
splendid work in upholding the price
of cotton, The American Cotton As
sociation is the outgrowth of a se
ries of meetings and conferences by
prominent farmers and business men
of the South, who have gfvon willingly
and unselfishly of their time and mon
ey to make it possible for the producer
to organize to protect himself —to meet
organization with organization.
Cotton buyers, cotton shippers, cot
ton manufacturers and distributors of
cotton goods, all are organized, and
through organization they have at
tained business success.
Likewise to organization the pro
ducers of the South must look for re
lief from industrial slavery, for bet
ter living conditions, for an educa
tion for their children instead of work
in the field —all and more to come
through (hat medium which will in
sure them a fair profit on their raw
material above the cost of produc
tion, to which they are fairly and just
ly entitled.
Has Done Good Work Already.
The American Cotton Association,
as stated by President J. Skottowe
Wannamaker, himself a prominent cot
ton planter of St. Mathews, S. C., hae
already, through various agencies,
saved to the producer of cotton some
thing like ,$500,000,000. But this is
Just a beginning.
It is proposed to insure an even
greater saving through this organi
zation of the producers, the bankers
and the business and professional men
of the South, every one of whom is

directly interested In the success ol
the producer.
The American Cotton Association,
organized in every state, and with a
central office, proposes to bring com
merciai freedom to all the South, and
to so change rural conditions that the
farm will both attract and hold the
white man.
It will have representatives in ev
ery cotton consuming country, to keep
the producer accurately posted con
cerning supply and demand It will
furnish advance information of the
world’s cotton needs, so that plant
ing may be made to accord with them.
Through its publicity department
and, as soon as possible, a weekly
newspaper free from politics, it will
keep both producer and consumer
fully informed about cotton, its pro
duction, distribution, manufacture and
will post them thoroughly as to fair
prices both for raw materials and fin
ished products. It will omit no in
formation necessary to the pwiper
pricing of cotton and the extent to
which it Bhould be planted.
It is the purpose of the association
to bring about as soon as possible
the establishment of a Domestic Fi
nancing Corporation to take care of
distress cotton, so that it will not
be thrown upon the market in large
lots, thereby causing price depression,
sion.
Will Have Government Aid.
In this work it will have the sup
port and assistance of the Federal
Reserve system of the United States,
and the influential aid of practically
even’ financier in the South.
It will encourage the building of
advantageously owned and properly
regulated warehouses in every cotton
state, and the establishment of a
warehouse certificate that will pass
as current as a government bond or
a gold note.
These are but a few of the big
plans of the American Cotton Asso
ciation as outlined by President Wan
namaker and other prominent leaders
in the movement. They will be fur
ther set out from time to time, and
the association will bring, as it has
already done in many cases, promi
nent men of all parts of the South
to its assistance and support.
Every cotton producer, every bank
er, every merchant, every business
and professional man is sought and
desired as a member; :*d, through
the small dues collected, it is propos
ed to meet the expenses of the pro
ducers’ own organization which, when
it speaks, is going to be heard around
the world!
