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.”

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.”

“A young bride entered the grocer’s
with fire in her eye.
“ ‘I wish to complain,’ she said,
‘about that flour you sold me yester
day. 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.’ ”
