FORD IGNORANT
IDEALIST/BY HIS
OWN ADMISSION
MONT CLEMENS. Mich, July 16.
—(By Associated Press)—Henry
Ford in continuing his testimony to
day in his million dollar libel suit
•gainst the Chicago Tribune, declar
ed he would “admit I’m an ignorant
idealist.”
Attorney Stevenson had just ex
plained to the court that the alleged
libelous editorial in the Tribune re
ferred to Ford as “ignorant idealist”
and that his questions were intend
ed to show that Ford is “in act ig
norant and, if he is an idealist and
doesn’t know the meaning of com
monly used words, he is plainly an
ignorant idealist.”
Stevenson then asked Ford what
an idealist was. The witness thought
a moment, then replied “one who
helps others to make profit.”
The lawyer smiled and said, “Well
Mr. Ford, I guess we’ll let the ques
tioning on ignorant idealist rest right
here.”
Ford later reversed his statement
that he was an “ignorant idealist.”

When Linen Dies Young
The life of linen depends on its quality and strength.
Because of the easier methods of the laundry it is apt to
last longer if washed in the laundry.
Cheap linens sometimes contain “filler.” Thus, after the
first washing, they seldom look as well as when purchase !.
Cheap linens do not last as long, in proportion to their cost,
as good linens; therefore cheap linens are not cheap.
Our experience prompts us to urge every housewife to buy
only the best fabrics of whatever kind.
Linen dies young when it is born weak.
All linens, even the best, have a limit of life and usefulness.
And they usually go quick when they go. One week they
are apparently whole; after the next washing, beyond
repair.
hey have simply gone the limit and collapsed; which,
after all, is the best proof of their long service.
Laundries, like all other humanly conducted institutions,
are not perfect. They make their share of errors, and do
their share of imperfect work.
But in the light of the foregoing, to unquestionably lace
the blame for all torn and worn out fabrics on the should
ers of your laundry is unjust; and no one, when in posses
sion of facts wants to be unjust.
Chat is why we print facts, instead of fancies.
Perfection is an aim that is never realized. But that degree
of perfection, which pride and care in ones work make pos
sible this laundry sustains.

UNADILLA UNABLE TO
DEFEAT LESLIE TEAM
LESLIE, July 16.—One of the
prettiest and hardest fought games
of the season was played on the
Leslie diamond Tuesday afternoon
with the fast bunch of ball players
from Unadilla. Leslie had won three
games prior to this game from Una
dilla and the Unadilla team came
with the intention of capturing the
game. Their team was very much
strengthened by the addition of
three players from Macon and two
from Warwick. The Leslie team
was composed of all home boys with
the exception of one player.
The features of the game were the
pitching of Slappy and the batting
of Gibson for Leslie.
The result: R. H.
Unadilla 2 2
Leslie .3 7
Batteries—For Unadilla, Fuss and
Harris; for Leslie, Slappy and John,
son.
Struck out by Fuss, 5; Slappy, 12.
Leslie will play Montezuma in Les
lie Friday, July 18.

a trip to Atlanta and other places in
North Georgia, and upon their’return
to Americus, will be at home to their
friends with Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Par
ker on Church street.
OVER THE TOP AND THEN

“I never felt better in my life
than since taking the first dose of
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy. I had a
bad case of indigestion and bloating
and tried all kinds of medicine.
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy' is all and
more than is claimed for it. On my
recommendation our postmaster’s
wife is using it with good results.” It
is a simple harmless preparation that
removes the catarrhal mucus from
the intestinal tract and allays the in
flammation which causes practically
al stomach, liver and intestinal ail
ments, including appendicitis. One

THE COVENANTER LETTERS
THE AUTHORS:—WiIIiam H. Taft, ex-President of the
United States; George W. Wickersham, formerly U. S.
Attorney Generaj; A. Lawrence Lowell, President Har
vard University; Henry W. Taft, of the New York Bar.
THE PURPOSE: —To discuss and make clear the various
articles of the Paris Covenant for a League of Nations,
now awaiting ratification by the United States Senate.
TODAY’S LETTER TAKES UP
ARTICLES XVII-XX.
Nations Outside League.
The object of the League is to pre
vent war ,not only among its mem
bers, but also by, against or between
nations outside of the Covenant; and
Article XVII is aimed at such cases.
The outside nation engaged in a dis
pute,; even if of a character that
threatens war, is not treated as an
outlaw, but is offered for the pur
pose of the dispute the benefits as
well as the obligations of membership
in the League. If it accepts the invi
tation it obtains the same protection
as a member from attack by its ad
versary, whether within or without
the League; and if there is a volun
tary submission to arbitration it has
the same right as a member to de
mand that the award be carried out.
This is certainly treating the outsider
fairly.
On the other hand the outsider,
whether it accepts the invitation or
not, is restrained from attacking a
member by the same penalties that
would be applied to a signer of the
Covenant. In other words the mem
bers agree to help one another against
attacks from the outside as well as
against those from one of their own
number. They could hardly do less.
When the controversy is between
two outsiders, both are invited to join
the League for the purpose of the
dispute, and, if either of them accept
the position is exactly that already
described, because the one accepting
has for this purpose the standing of a
member of the league. If both re
fuse the obligations of membership
cannot be directly applied, but hos
tilities are to be prevented, and the
Council is authorized to take such
measures and make such recommen
dations as will prevent them. Since
the Council has no forces under its
orders and cannot command those of
its members without their consent,
the measures it can take must be of
a diplomatic nature to be followed by
recommendations for the use of force
if necessary. But practically this will
not happen, because it is highly un
likely that both of the outside na
tions desire war , and the one that
does not will certainly accept the
invitation of the League.
Restraining Influences.
This method of preventing war with
or among non-members is both fair
and ingenious. They are subjected
to the penalties and are offered the
benefits of membership, except that
a temporary membership gives no
consultative voice in the general man
agement of the League. Hence there
will be a decided advantage in enter
ing the League permanently, and an
association of all truly self-governing
countries to maintain the peace of the
world. Hence also the power of ex
pulsion conferred upon the Council by
the last clause of Article XVI, be
' comes a serious penalty, that will go j
far to secure the carrying out of ar- I
bitral awards and the observance of*
all the other obligations of the Cove
nant.
No Secret Treaties
The object of Article XVIII re
quiring treaties or engagements to be
registered with the Secretariat and
published is simply to prevent secret
treaties and especially secret military
alliances. It is wholly in accord with
our national traditions. Some people
have suggested that an honorable
country which has made a secret
treaty will feel bound in honor to
execute it and therefore the provision
that such a treaty shall not be bind
ing will have no effect. To this there
are two answers. First that an hon
orable country will not make a secret
treaty contrary to its agreement in
the covenant. Second that in the free
nations of the league treaties cannot
practically be carried into effect
without the action of the representa
tive legislative bodies and these
might naturally resent a treaty made
without their knowledge in violation
of the covenant; might very properly
regard it as unauthorized and refuse
to carry it out. A change of the party
in power might will result in its re
pudiation; for it would be a fraud,
not only upon the other members of
the league, but also upon the repre
sentative body and the people of the
country that made it. A secret treaty
would be a dangerous thing for r.
government to undertake, and a den
gerous thing for the other nation to
rely upon. Therefore, it is not likely
to be made.
The criticism that in the United '
States a treaty is made when the rat
ifications are exchanged has no
weight as an objection to this pro
vision because the exchange can be
made when the treaty is delivered
to the Secretariat of the league, as
a deed of land is often delivered at
the registry of deeds.
Reconsideration of Treaties
Article XIX, which authorizes the |
assembly to advise the reconsidera
tion of treaties that have become
inapplicable and the consideration
of international conditions endanger
ing the peace of the world needs no
I explanation. It gives power merely to I
discuss and suggest, and is part of
j the assembly’s general function of j
debating international relations, es-1
pecially such as may threaten war.
Article XX providing for the abro- ;
gation of all obligations between
members of the league inconsistent
with the covenant, and forbiddingi
any such here after is merely an ex-1
press declaration of what would be I
otherwise implied. Clearly if a nation
enters into this covenant—which is a j
treaty—it agrees not to do anything |
incompatible therewith, and a fortiori :
not to agree to do something incon- j
sistent therewith, The further agree
ment to seek release from any prior
inconsistent treaty with a non-mem- i
ber is what any honorable nation ,
would do.
