Blue Sky Law Upheld by High
est Court in Land
Attorney Genejal Turner, Ilepub-
cin, Who Hade Fight for Law,
Gets Deserved Fralae
Oblo Slate Journal, Jan. 23
By decision of the United States
iupremo court yesterday tho const!
tutlonallty of the Ohio blue-sky law
designed to protect the people from
'fraudulent securities the fly-by-
night and get-rlch-qutck klnC was
upheld.
The ruling was a staggering blow
to the Gelger-Jones Company of Can'
ton, which has marketed securities
for many millions of dollars, and
triumphant vindication of former At
torney General Edward C. Turner,
For a year and a half the company
has been lighting to prevent what
practically would mean ouster from
the state. It based Its case merely
upon technical faults which, Its law
yers said existed in the blue-sky law
Winning out in the lower courts
vthe company was defeated by Turner
in the nation's highest court. Its
future status in the state probably
depends upon furber litlgaton to put
into force the full effect of the blue-
sky law. If the company wishes to
continue doing business in Ohio it
must have a blue-sky license. It had
none during 1916 nor has it obtained
a 1917 license, feeling, no doubt, it
would be successful in knocking out
the law. Its fight now will be to get
a license.
McGhee Would Engage Turner
Attorney General McGhee, in office
only two weeks, announced yesterday
upon recipt of news regarding the
blue-sky case, that he would ask Mr.
Turner to take charge of further pro
ceedings under the law as special
counsel with full authority to do
whatever is needed to be done. He
said he would assign L. D. Johnson,
of Urbana, a special counsel in the
attorney general s office, to assist Mr.
Turner.
Mr. McGhee declared he wanted
Mr. Turner to handle all develop
ments. So far as he (McGhee) was
concerned, he said the progressive
policy of Mr. Turner would be con
tinued. Yesterday's supreme court decision
is one of the most important and far
reaching ever given by the highest
court with reference to the future of
this state. The fight made by the
Gelger-Jones Company to break down
the law attracted national attention,
not only because" of the legal points
raised, but by reason of the extensive
and more or less secretive political in
fluence brought to bear in the attack
on one of the most important laws en
acted during the first Cox adminis
tration. Enlist Politicians
It has been said that the company
exerted tremenduous influence in
helping to defeat Mr. Turner for re
election last fall and frequntly dur
ing the last year or so, reports have
been heard in Columbus and Wash

Tho Wanesfleld Chronicle tells the
following story concerning the relief
of a dependent mother, while her
sons are doing army service on the
Mexican border:
When orders came for the Secon
regiment to go south to do bordt
duty among the number were tw
brothers, Ira and Os Miller, both un
der the age of maturity, and the
whole support of a mother and two
younger brothers. ,hon these boys
nswered the call the mother was left
to battle the hardships of life alon
witn tne two nine noys, wno were
nervy for their age, and accepted an
Ind of work they were able to do
through the summer months to help
keep the wolf from the door. Then
all came and the youngsters were o
school age, and must attend.
Friends of Mrs. Miller Interceded
for her in an effort to have at least
no of her sons returned to her,
Letters were written to the war de
partment, explaining the situation
here at the boys' home, hoping that
something would be done to help cast
way the gloom and brighten what
seemed to be dreary months until the
pring returned again and the little
ads could bring in again their
mall earnings. Mrs. Miller had hopes
nd faith In the good old U. S. A.
Mrs. Miller has been rewarded and
there Is more cheer in her little home
now than there has been since Ira
and Os were called to do duty for
their country on the Mexican border,
The burden has been lifted from Mrs
Miller's shoulders. On January 5th
this mother received Uncle Sam's
oucher for $295.00 and a message
stating that she would receive $50
per month as a mother's pension as
long as the two boys remain in the
service, the pension starting January
1st. This is a pension of $25 per
month for each boy.
The friends of Mrs. Miller are sure-
glad to hear of the news of her re
ceiving this liberal allowance, and
that our country is able and will pro
tect its widows and orphans in dis
tress caused by the ravages of war
instances of the present unpleas
antness down on the border.
Services will be held at the Celina
Presbyterian Church by the C. E. So

January 28th, at 7 o'clock, which Is
to be observed as the thirty-sixth

continuing with a special sermon by
the pastor and other speakers; also
tupcelal music throughout the entire
week, ending with the climax which
will be Decision Day, whin It is hop
ed that many souls will be borne
anew into the Kingdom.

A MONROE DOCTlii
That Would Include All Countries and Free the
World from Future Wars, Advocated by
President in Remarkable Address
FULL TEXT OF WILSON'S SPEECH
TO THE SENATE
"Gentlemen of the Senate:
"On the 18th of December, last, I
addressed an Identic note to the gov
ernments of the nations now at war,
requesting thenl to state, more defi
nitely then had yet been stated
by either group of belligerents, the
terms upon which they would deem
it possible to make peace. I spoke
on behalf of humanity and of the
rights of all neutral nations like our
own, many of whose most vital in
terests the war puts in constant Jeop
ardy. "The central powers united in a
reply which stated merely that they
were ready to meet their antagonists
in conference to discuss terms of1
peace.
"The entente powers have replied
much more definitely and have stated,
In general terms; indeed, but with
sufficent deflnlteness to imply details
the arrangements, guarantees and
acts of reparation which they deem to
be the indispensable conditions of a
satisfactory settlement.
"We are that much nearer a defi
nite discussion of the peace which
shall end the present war. We are
that much nearer the discussion of
the International concert which must
thereafter hold the world at peace.
In every discussion of the peace that
must end the war it is taken as grant
ed that that peace must be followed
by some definite concert of power
which will make It virtually impos
sible that any such catastrophe
should ever overwhelm us again. Ev
ery lover of mankind, every eane and
thoughtful- man must take that for
granted.
"I have sought this opportunity to
address you because I thought that I
owed, it to you, as the council asso
ciated with me in the final determina
tion of our International obligations,
to disclose to you without reserve, the
thought and .purpose that have been
taking form in my mind n regard to
the duty of our government In these
days to come, when It will be nec
essary to lay afresh and upon a new
plan the foundations of peace among
nations.
Sees America's Opportunity.
It is inconceivable that the people
of the United States should play no
part In that great enterprise. To take
part in such a servce will be the op
portunity for which they have sought
to prepare themselves by the very
principles and purposes of their pol
ity and the approved practices of
their government ever since the days
when they set up a new nation in the
high and honorable hope that it
might in all that it was and did show
mankind the way to liberty. They
can not, in honor, withhold the ser
vice to which they are now about to
be challenged. They do not wish to
withhold it. But they owe it to
themselves and to other nations of
the world to state the conditions un
der which they will feel free to ren
der it.
"That service is nothing less than
this to add their authority and their
power to the authority and force of
other nations to guarantee peace and
justice throughout the world. Such
a settlement -can not now be long
postponed. It is right that before
it comes this government should
frankly formulate the conditions up
on Which it would feel Justified in
asking our people to approve formal
and solemn adherence to a League for
Peace. I am here to attempt to state
those conditions.
"The present war must first be
ended; but we owe it to candor and
to a JuBt regard for the opinion of
mankind to say that so far as our
participation in guarantees of future
peace is concerned, it makes a great
deal of difference in what way and
upon what terms it is ended. The
treaties and agreements which bring
it to an end must embody terms
which will create a peace that is
worth guaranteeing and preserving,
a peace that will win the approval of
mankind; not merely a peace that
will serve the several Interests and
immediate aims of the nations engag
ed. We shall have no voice in deter
mining what those terms shall be, but
we shall, I feel sure, have a voice in
determining whether they shall be
lasting or not by the guarantees of
a universal covenant and our Judg
ment upon what is fundamental and
essential as a condition precedent to
permanency should be spoken now,

last Saturday morning and destroyed

The Board also passed a resolution
requesting the legislature to amend
the present election laws relating to
time of closing polls and payment of
judges and clerks. They would have
the polls close in all voting precincts
4 o'clock, instead of 5:30, and
have the judges and clerks paid $5
Instead of $3. The plan is now in
use in all cities, requiring registra

The local board have found they
do not get competent men to act on
the various precinct boards under the

These things, among others were
advocated by William Jennings Bry
an in an address of an hour and 50
minutes yesterday before joint ses
sion of tho Ohio general assembly and
a crowded gallery. Half the audi
tors in the gallery were women.
Bryan complimented Ohio on be
ing "the most progressive state of its
size" in the Lulon, and asserted the
former Cox administration was large
ly responsible for this.

The listeners cheered and stuck to
their seats.
Urges Public Taper.
After setting forth the need of a
government - published newspaper
both in state and nation, he took a
drink of water, breathed deeply,
braced up and declared with satis
faction: "Now I have the introduc
tory out of the way."
Again he was applauded and none
was seen to leave the room. As ex
pected, woman suffrage and prohibi
tion next were on tap.
Most of Bryan s remarks were non
partisans. Once, in comparing deni
ocrats with aristocrats, he drew
laughter, inadvertently referring to
Republicans when he wanted to say
aristocrats. He apollgized and cor
rected himself.
For a moment he addressed him
self directly to Democrats, asking
Republicans for the moment to close
their ears if possible. He was dis
cussing suffrage and said:
It any one of you Is to VOt5
against woman suffrage let him not
be a Democrat. It was the women
voters that saved President WiLson
and the continuation of his reform
program last fall when the men
voters of the country would have
defeated him.
Bryan said Ohio is recognized by
sister states as having gone farther
than any other state of its size in
making its constitution and laws con
form with the best thought of the
day. Some of the less populous
states, he intimated, have led Ohio.
But when Ohio does something
the others sit up and take notice," he
said.
Praises Work of Cox
No other state in the nation ever
accomplished so much needed reform
in the short space of two years as
Ohio did under the first administra
tion of Governor Cox, Bryan declar
ed. "It is because of this that you
have less of accumulated undone
work than any other legislature this
year," he added.
Legislation which has helped the
people usually had not come from
Washington but had to be started in
the states, he said in discussing rail
road control, suffrage and prohibi
tion. The present effort to transfer
fixing interstate rail-road rates to
Washington should be resisted to the
utmost by the states, in his opinion.
With many states having 2-cent
fare laws, it is cheaper in many in-
tances to purchase a ticket to a state
boundary line and a new ticket on the

The discovery of shipments of mis-
branded cottonseed mqal into Ohio
has led the Bureau of Inspection to
be on the lookout for cottonseed meal
the labels of which overstate the
amount of prtein cntent. Investiga
tion shows that much of the mis
branded meal is made from de-linted
cotton seed. The practice of delint
ing seed has recently become more
general owing to the fact that the lint
thus removed, ordinarily of little val
ue, now demands a high price for the
manufacture of munitions. Some of
the manufacturers it is found, al
though the meal is different, are us
ing the old labels, whereas the pro
duct may contain less protein, the
most important feeding element in
this concentrate.
Several cases based on misbranding
of cottonseed meal now pending. Ev
idence of other violations is being
prepared for transmission to the Un
ited States Department of Agricul
ture. Action will be taken under the
law and State Officials will co-operate
with the Federal Government in
stamping out the fraudulent practice.
Buyers of Cottenseed Meal should re
quire Brokers and Shippers to give
them wrtten guarantees in accord

Food and Drugs Act that the Meal is
not adulterated or misbranded.
