IdEAGUE IS ASSAILED BY METHODIST BISHOP Shows It Is Un-American and Was Fostered Here By Big Financial Interests. Washington, Jan. 12.—While the Democratic minority in the Senate has been attempting to give the country the impression that the “moral forces” of the nation, as represented by the clergy, are solidly behind the Presi dent in his attempt to dictate the un reserved adoption of the British docu ment brought from Paris by him, Bishop Thomas* B. Neely, of the Ilethodist Church, has denounced the v'hole business as un-American. He says: “Supposing the ‘Big Four' at the peace conference did the best they could, what reason is there to believe that the same or similar men in the Council of the League of Nations would or could do any better? “The formation of this league will not banish war, and those who believe in the league because of its promise to prevent war have lost the foundation of their faith. As the league will not do what they understood it promised to do, they are no longer obligated to give it allegiance. “Some have been induced to enter the ranks of league supporters by official and political influnce, and particularly because the President wants to put the nation into this in ternational alliance, forgeting that the same President, in his more American days, spoke in the strongest terms against the United States go ing into foreign alliances, and said this country must live its own life. Then he spoke like a true Apierican, but, after residing in Europe, he talks like one of the international, a citizen of no country in particular. Wilson the American is safer than Wilson the Internationalist. “Then there was a prompt, wide spread and persistent propaganda, with a strong financial and admin istration backing, that swept over the land, and, consciou^y or uncon sciously, affected many. It might be called the million-dollar propaganda were it not that the signs indicate that much more than a single million dol lars was spent. This fund was spent on newspapers, the platform, all sorts of meetings, all kinds of speakers, and many public and private agencies. “One of the strongest sections of this propaganda was the management of ‘The 'League to Enforce Peace. This league having one idea and very different from the proposed league, which meditated a multitude of things sent out its speakers and spent im mense sums of money in support of the other and different league, and some have had difficulty in discover ing the consistency and ideal honesty of taking money contributed for one league and using the hundreds of thousands of dollars to further the in terests of a very different league which is a political government to rule the world, including the United States of America. So some have wondered how an ex-President of the United States, one of the first officers of the first league, could travel day and night all over the country speaking for the other league and urging its adoption, and then coming to Sena tors and other leaders against the league and proposing changes or re servations that proved the league was not as he wanted it. The exclamation may be in the mysterious processes of some human minds. “If the United States g;es into this league it goes inU this grinding ma chine. The United States will not dominate. It will not be free. The league will have thi power and the United States will have lost its liberty of action. It will not be independent but subordinate—a subject govern ment, no longer free. “If it is immoral to uphold immoral things, then it is immoral for moral America to have anything to do with this morally tainted league, for in the Peace Conference votes for it were corruptly bought, as low politicians carry out their corrupt deals, as, for example, the passing over of Chinese territory and Chinese people to Japan, and misrepresented America had a hand in the vile transactions.” MANY LIKE THIS IN O’NEILL Similar Cases Being Published In Each Issue. The following case is but one of many occurring daily in O’Neill. It is an easy matter to verify it. You cannot ask for better proof. H. W. Ritts, carpenter, O’Neill, says: “I suffered for two years from weakness in my back and I was in such a bad way that every time I stooped, sharp twinges darted through me. A dull sort of pain through the small of my back bothered me day and night. Lots of times when I sat down, it would only be vith great ef fort, I could get up ag-'in. I took only two boxes of Doan’s Kidney Pills procured from Gilligan & Stout’s Drug Store and they cured me. That cure was made five years ago and I have never had any trouble with my back since." THE RESULTS LASTED. Nearly Seven Years Later Mr. Ritts raid: “I recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills even more highly than ever, because the cure they gave me is still lasting. I feel that I owe my good halth to having used this medicine.” GOc at all dealers. Fostef-Milbum Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. I© 1919 A?B.

It was tough.' ‘“Tough flour, ma’am?’ said the grocer, with a puzzled look. ‘There must be some mistake.’ “ ‘No mistake whatever!’ snapped the bride. ‘I made a pie With that flour and my husband said it was so tough he couldn’t cut it with an ax.’ ” —Washington. - i____ I TANKAGE!] |] Oil Cake, Cotton Cake and | P Mill Feeds. | || We have a large stock on hand jj; e and will sell in carload lots or less. jf I O’Neill Hay Co. j m I IS POWERLESS I - • ---— Handicapped by Cooke’s Re fusal to Reorganize Wartime Fair-Price Board, He Says ATTORNEY'S DUTY TO STOP PROFITEERING, SAYS HEINZ Prpsecutor Has No Time' to Answer Questions Concern ing Action in Other Cities • I With the housewives of this eft; clamoring for direct, vigorous at against the food gougcrs, whom ’ hold responsible for'the underhou went of th«.!r children, Francis ’ Kane, United States district a! declared yesterday ha was powetj check profiteering.
