WILSON'S WORDS
CLEAR UP DOUBT
CALIFORNIA THROWS OVER ITS
LEADER, JOHNSON, AND
RALLIES TO LEAGUE.
WEST GIVES_HIM OVATION
All Doubtful Features of Pact Aro
Explained Away By President, ^nd
Former Doubters Hasten to Give
Him Their Support.
(By Independent News Bureau, form
erly Mt. Clemens New* Bureau.)
Aboard President Wilson’s Special
Train—A continuous ovation along the
Pacific coast and then on his eastward
way back toward the capital was given
to President Wilson as he came
toward the end of his month daylong
speaking tour In behalf of the League
of Nations. California, particularly
the delightful city of Los Angeles, went
wild In its enthusiasm for him and his
advocacy of the League, and It was
in that state, perhaps, that he did his
most successful missionary work.
Hiram Johnson, California's former
governor, now her United States sena
tor, and considered by her as the most
lilcely Republican candidate for the
presidency In 1920, had before the ar
rival of President Wilson, convinced
a great number of citizens that the
League as at present formulated was
not a good thing. He had told them
that the United States, because of it,
would be drawn Into every petty
European quarrel; he argued that we
would lose our sovereignty by joining
with the European nations. He had
blamed the president for assenting to
the possession by Japan of the Penin
sula of Shan Tung In China.
( " N
BUREAU CHANGES NAME
The Mount Clemens News
Bureau, which has been furnishing
reports on President Wilson’s tour
in behalf of the League of Nations
to 5,^500 papers, has adopted a new
name and will hereafter be known
as The Independent News Bureau.
V
Bui Mr. Wilson, with cleaf logic and
with compelling eloquence, answered
to the entire satisfaction of Califor
nia’s people every objection which
Senator Johnson had made to the
League. And thousands of the state’s
citizens deserted the Johnson stand
ard immediately and rallied to the sup
port of the president More than that,
they came forward and said, "We
were against you. Mr. President, but
you have cleared everything up and
now we are with you heart and soul.”
Still more than that, they let Senator
Johnson know that Ahey were no
longer with him and tnat they disap
proved of the speaking tour which he
himself was making in opposition to
the League and so powerful was the
volume of public opinion which reach
ed him, that the senator almost im
mediately abandoned his tour. The
Shan Tung question, because of the
anti-Japanese feeling which undoubted
ly exists along the Pacific coast was
the most serious which the president
had to answer. He explained to the
people that he had been powerless to'
prevent the rich peninsula from being
given to Japan. England and France,
through a secret treaty, had promised
it to Japan for entering the war and
remaining in it That treaty had to
be carried out Anyway it was not
China that was losing Shan Tung, but
Germany, which had seized the terri
tory from China in 1898 and held it
ever since. Japan had promised, the
president explained, to return Shan
Tung as soon as the peace treaty was
ratified and it was only through the
ratification of the treaty with the
League of Nations incltfslon, that
China could ever expect to get her
former property back. And she surely
would get it back, he declared, through
the ratification Of the League. There
fore, through the same instrumentality
no other nation oould again prey upon
the "Great, patient, diligent, but help
less kingdom." As to our being drawn
into any European conflict. Tl\e pres
ident pointed out that no direct action
such as the sending of troops to any
part of the world to maintain or re
store order could be taken by the
Council of the League without a unani
mous vote of tha council members,
therefore our vote could at once nega
tive any such proposition as sending
our Boldler9 where we did not want
them sent. Besides, Mr. Wilson argued,
“If you have to quench a fire In Cali
fornia you don’t tend for the fire de
partment of Utatu” But, he argued,
there probably Mrrer will be another
war, if the League la established, for
the members promise either to arbi
trate their difference and accept the
decision of the arbitrator, lay the dif
ferences for discussion**’ and publica
tion before the Oonncil of the League
for a period of six months, and then,
if possible, accept the council's advice.
That failing, they agree to refrain from
war for a further period of three
months and nine months of “cooling
off,’* the president contended, would
prevent any armed conflict. These clear
explanations satisfied every reasonable
hearer and destroyed the “Bugaboos”
which Senator Johnson and others had
raised against the League. Through
rugged Nevada into Utah, the land of
Mormons, the president swept to find
ihat those fine people were heartily
with him for the League and a per
manency of peace. \

YALOBUSHA COUNTY
STOCK SHIPMENTS
We will ship stock from Coffee
ville on October 7th and October
21st, and from Water Valley October
14th, The best southern hogs will
bring about 17c in St. Louis. Cattle
will ru'n from 5c to 7c.
We are going to make some im
provement on the stock pins at the
different stations in the county, and
we would like to set the shipping
dates to suit your conveniences.
When you get your stock ready for
shipment we want ^o see that you get
them to St. Louis and get what they
are worth. The co-operative market
ing is a great thing for the small
farmer that does not have car load
shipment, If the farmers at Oak
land, Tillatoba, and Scoba desire to
make shipments of livestock let me
know your wishes and I will accom
modate you.
This fall it is my intention to assist
the farmers in finding a market for
any farm product that they may have
to place on the market, therefore if
you have anything to sell see me,
and we will try and move it at a good
pri<e
Sorghum molasses are going to be
high this year. My advise would be
to hold your sorghum until about
Christmas and it wHl bring you more
money. We will make a shipment
about Christmas.
Save your lespedeza seed this fall,
as they are going to be high. I have
several inquiries for seed at this writ
ing. We shipped over 15,000 bushels
last season and did not have seed to
supply the demand. Th? average
price obtained last season was $6 per
bushel. This year I believe that we
will be able to get a better price
