YOUR BALLOT, TUESDAY
Next Tuesday, November 2, j
election day. Every good citizen
should vote. Don’t leave the fate of
government in the hands of those
least qualified. That is too often an
evil of a republican form of govern
merit.
Every good Democrat who voted
in the September and October prima¬
ries should vote for the nominees of
those primaries, regardless of how he
voted in the primaries or of his per¬
sonal or political opinion of the sue
cessful candidates. A vote in the pri
mary was a tacit gentleman’s
ment to support the successful can
didates. Not to support the - party’s
nominees now would be to help split
the party at a time when party so
lidartiy was never more vital to
interests, traditions and honor of the
South. Better stick together and
out our differences within the party,
Read your ballot carefully. It is
long one— a yard long. Trick
are said to be in circulation. The
difference between the Republican
ballot and the Democratic ballot wiil
be in the names of the
for president and vice-president
for presidential electors.
Be sure you get an “official” bal¬
lot of the party of your choice. Better
get it from a source you know to
“official, I» as unofficial ballots may
have names or initials of
wrong, in in which event they won't be
counted.
Mark your ballot with care. Many
a vote will not be counted owing to
failure to mark ballots correctly.

THE WORK OF THE LEAGUE.
The League of Nations is an ac¬
complished fact ,an existing and
working organization. It is adminis¬
tering the Saar Valley and the city
of Danzig. It is conducting a
health campaign to protect the world
from typhus and other diseases and
the elimination of the opium trade.
It has established an
labor bureau and is settling interna¬
tional labor disputes. It has before
it the forming of a great Interna¬
tional Court of Justice, in the
of which Elihu Root participated.
Only last week a dozen
were registered with the League of
Nations and were published by it un
der it provision that no treaties
should be binding until registered
with the league and published by it.
On Friday, September 18, while
Harding and Johnson were insisting
that the league was dead beyond res¬
urrection, Sweden and Finland ac¬
cepted the intervention of the league
for the settlement of the dispute be¬
tween them regarding the Aland Is¬
lands.
In this connection Mr. Branting,
said:
“I will not use the word ‘war,’ but
the situation was tense. The council
of the league has dissipated the foel
ing.
“All that the league needs to make
it a most effective and certain instru¬
ment of reducing future wars to the
absolute minimum is the par tic i pa
tion of the United States, Sweden
and the other nations of the world
await the entrance of America with
anxiety and the keenest interest.
The League of Nations is not dead.
The United States is going to ratify
the treaty and become a member of
it and vastly increase its power and
its usefulness and make it a benefac¬
tion to the world and the guarantee
of justice and peace.—Dem. Nat.
Comm.
O
A COURT OR THE LEAGUE?
The International Court as or¬
ganized by Mr. Root and his Con¬
freres on the Commission and re¬
cently submitted to the Council of
the League of Nations for their ac¬
tion, provides that when a dispute
has arisen between nations which is
found to be impossible to settle by
diplomatic means or by an agreement
to arbitrate, the complaining nation
may bring the case before the Inter¬
national Court. The court shall de¬
cide first whether jurisdictional con¬
ditions have been complied with, and,
if so, can hear and determine the
dispute according to the next article
in the draft.
The next article provides that
THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT V ALLEY, GEORGIA
court, shall have jurisdiction to try
cases of a letral nature concerning
the interpretation of treaties, ques
tions of international law, breaches
international obligation and ’
of re
paration for such breacehs.
The question arises, where is
ator Harding to insert his “teeth tt
into this court if we have not the'
League of Nations? Shall the court j
itscif have power to force nations to
submit their cases to it, and how is
| it going to enforce its decrees? Sup
pose one nation refuses to appear be
j fore the court, or, having appeared,
! refuses to abide by its judgment?
The League of Nations Covenant,
which provides by Article XIV of the!
treaty for an International Court,
provides penalties against nations l
which refuse to arbitrate their dis
putes or which refuse to carry out*
the court’s decision. As one of the !
instruments lions, the International of the League Court of of Jus- Na-j
tice will be a benefaction to the I
! world. As a substitute for the
League of Nations, it would be an !
impotent and miserable failure.—

SAMUEL SMILEY’S SAYINGS
He Discusses the Scrapping of the
League and the Borah-Johnson
Talking Machine.
Q. What do I think of Harding’s
Des Moines speech llatly rejecting ,
j the League of Nations? you ask me.
A. Well sir, 1 would call that a
i canned speech ■a Borah-Johnson
j “record »» played on their Hardingola.
■ Q. What do I think of the senti
ment of it?
A. 1 would call it a companion
piece to “America First for Deutch
land uber alles.”
j l). Do J think the Ameriran people
will consent to desert our associates
the war with victory incompleted?
A. Well, if they do, they ought to
! change the spelling of Lafayette to
Laugh-ayette.
Q- Why does he wish to recall our
watch on the Rhine/
A. I don't know unless he prefers
“Die Wacht am Rhein. »>
i •
: Q. What do I think of his repudi
of our moral obligations?
■
; A. A moral obligation is a sort of
gentlemen’s agreement to which he i
proposes to add an exemption clause
i for the United States Senate. .*
j Q. Do 1 consider Harding’s position
on the League and the Peace Treaty
logical?
■A. No; it's Lodgical.
Q. What is his attitude on self
determination?
A. Let Hi and Bill do it.
Q. How do 1 think his campaign is
coming on?
A. In his retreat to normalcy the
Senator has only gotten as far as
Borahcy and Johnsoncy.
Q. What is my idea of normalcy?
A. A bear in winter time.
Q. What would 1 suggest as a
Harding Front Porch motto?
A. 1 think the Senator will be justi¬
fied in sticking to the one he has
Used all through the campaign “No¬
body Home! • >
Q. What do I think of the revolt of
Herbert Parsons, the New York Re¬
publican leader, against Harding?
A. 1 do not know of anyone better
qualified to preach Harding’s politi¬
cal funeral sermon than Parsons.
Q. What do i think of the demand
for a “change?”
A, The Republicans were the ones
to demand a change, and now
they’re getting it—a change from
Harding to Cox.

UNITED STATES IS OUT;
REST OF AMERICA IN
Washington, D. C.—From data
lately received at the State Depart
from the Secretariat of the League
of Nations, it appears that the United
States will be in the event of Repub¬
lican success, the only nation in the
western hemisphere not a member of
the League of Nations. Canada and
Cuba are members and of the seven¬
teen countries of Latin America,
twelve are now members, Bolivia,
Brazil, Guatemala, Peru and Uru¬
guay being original members and Ar¬
gentina, Chile and all other Latin
American Nations except Costa Rica
and Mexico having joined the League
since its formation. Costa Rica hav
ing overthrown a dictatorship and
formed a real republic, its applica¬
tion for membership In the League
will no doubt be granted in Novem¬
ber. Mexico, aided by the policy of
President Wilson, has formed a sta¬
ble and legitimate government and
will soon petition for admittance to
the League and Its application is ex¬
pected to be granted.
This will leave the tJnited States
the sole western nation outside the
League of Nations.
The membership of the League as
constituted on September 30 is as
follows:

THE LEAGUE A GREAT

The cardinal doctrines of

paragraphs of the Covenant.
The League will set up, or

They will try to secure and

have a combined weight of
520,000 pounds, witich is more
than twice the weight of what
was considered the monster
passenger engine of a few
years ago.
THE DESIGN of these big
engines has been worked out
in the greatest detail, and they
are provided with every device
for safety; as weii as comfort
to the operators and efficiency
in operation. They use super¬
heated steam, have power op¬
erated reverse gear and grate
shakers, compound air pumps,
mechanically operated stokers,
electric headlights and the la¬
test safety appliances.
THE USE of these heavy en
gines has resulted in a very
uniform train operation, and
consequent satisfaction to
travelers.
