The Clinton News Record, 1920-11-11, Page 3Sweeping V ctoryr For Re plica ,s , in Final Election Returns Will Have Over 20Majority in Senate and 150 in House - League s ouse -League's Friends Acclaim Wilson at White House A despatch from New York says:, A record -els -lashing electoral vote for Senator Harding', topping the 400 Mirk, and lepnbliean majorities of more than a score in the Senate and 150 in the House were assured from virtually complete reterne from the elections. With the Demoo. abic Strongholds of Oklahoma, Missouri arid Tennessee d'e- liinite•1y swept into the Republican' paety's.ranks by the crushing victory, the Harding.Cooildge ticket had 896 votes, exclusive o£ the five from Mon- tane, where the Republican State tick- et was victorious -and the Presidential ticket ahead. The Republican landslide had given the Republicans 58 Senate seats as against' 87 for the Democrats, with late returns undermining the seat of 'Senator Beckham, Democrat, Ken- tucky. His Republican opponent, Richard J. Ernst, forged ahead in a nip and tuck fight for the only Senate fight left unsettled.. Of the 34 Senate contests, the Republicans captured nine from the Democrats and elected all 15 of their candidates. Among the Democratic Senators who went down to defeat' were Senators Chamberlain ar Oregon, former Chairman of the Military Com- mittee; Senator Smith of Arizona, w110 lost to former Representative Ralph, Cameron, anti Senator Henderson of Nevada, who was defeated aby former Governor OdJdie. In the Howse coin beets, the 11epuibf limn sweep gave Ohie en almost solid Republican delegation,` only one (115- triot being in doubt. In this, the home State of Senator Herding and Gover nor Cox, the Republicans gaited and the Democrats lost eight seats. In Missouri the Republicans gained an- other block of :right. A despatch from Washington says; --A crawl of probably 2,000 League of Nations supporters moroh ed to the White House at 8 o'clock on Thursday to pay tribute to Presi- dent Wilson. The crowd was admitted to the White House grounds through ane of the -front entrances and allowed to gather hear the east terrace. , President Wilson was wheeled out on the terrace, and sat for ten mitt utes while the crowci'sang "America," "Carry me back to 01,1 Virginny," and "The Star-Spangled Banner." Looking old and worn and shoving plainly the ravages of his illness, the President made a pathetic figure. Ile lifted his hat and his lips parted, as if to smile, but his face seemed tense with emotion. Irish Crime Decreasing. A 'despatch from Dublin says: -The outrages in Ire- land during the last week show a steady decline in poli- tical crime, according to a statement issued by the Dublin Castle authorities, ' but the campaign of guerrilla warfare against the armed forces of the Crown is being waged with in- creasing intensity. Police resignations are de- creasing and the recruiting of policemen from Ireland itself is increasing. This is pointed to as a sign of renewed confidence that the Government wil overcome the opposition 'forces. Forty -Year Vigil Kept by Indian A despatch from Bakersfield, Cal., says: -The forty -year vigil of„ Philip Lefthand,, Indian; said to have been aged X38 over the valley where his squaw was killed, has ended with Lefthand lying in a grave in the little cemetery at Weldon, near Bakersfield. Forty years ago a cloudburst in the Kelso Valley drowned the aged In- dian's squaw. Sime then he had re- fused to leave or to accept th.e hos- pitality of a county farm or Federal reservation. He lived alone. A few days ago, however, Lefthand'e blank- ets caught fire while he was sleeping. He was fatally burned, dying shortly after. Bats are the only mammals which' have theewer of flight. U.S. Merchants Take Cana- dian Money at Face Value A despatch from Bridgeburg says: - Not that Canadian money is increas- ing an value particularly, but because border trade con(itiohs are becoming dull, is the real abject of the action of a number- of merchants across the river recently, who announce that Canadian money will now be accepted at face value. In many stores in Buffalo Canadian money now is being accepted' at as low as 8 per cent. discount, while a few weeks ago 15 per ent. was demanded. The cause of the desire to amain a lot of the trade that has preen lost through the discount problem is the fret, it is said, that American border merchants are themselves facing a big falling off in trade. Many Canadians, having learned when discount was high to buy on this side of the river, are now declining, `for convenience's sake, to revert. _ Warren C. Harding President -Elect of the United States.

OBTAIN COAL WITH, DOCTOR'S ORDER Buffalonians Refuse to Pay More Than $13.25 A deepateh from Buffalo says: -A doctor's certificate must be presented to coal dealers in Buffalo now before coal will be delivered. So acute is the situation, that should there be a cold spell within the next three weeks- a great deal of real suffering is certain. Only people who have aged persons, tiny.babies, or invalids in their homes, are receiving coal and that in half -ton Mts. That the situation is more acute than it has ever been before, As the statement -Made by a prominent re- tailer. There is some coal available at the mines, but is all owned by private individuals who are holding it at ex- horbitant prices and only the very rich can buy it. The stocks of the big dis- tributing forms are wholly- depleted. One of the prime reasons for the; unprecendentcd situation is the re- fusal of gas companies to sell gas to citizens for use in furnaces. In the past it has .been the practice of many ! people to use gas almost entirely for heating purposes. With the present shortage of gas and rise an price of what is available the demand for an- thracite coal has increased tremend- ously One wholesaler ventured the opinion that the demand_ has been doubled on this account, but this ap- proximation is thought to be too high. The price of coal is still $13 to 513,25 per ton for anthracite. . Can- adians across the border at St. Cath- arines are paying 521. Buffalonians refuse to pay that for their coal and prefer to go cold. MINERS ACCEPT GOVERNMENT OFFER Resumption of Work in Brit- ish Coal Mines. A despatch from London says: -As a result of -a ballot on the Govern- ment's offer, the coal strike was called off, and ata meeting of the miners' deie.gates, immediate resumption of work was ordered. Figures of balloting by the men showed a majority of 8,459 against acceptance of the Government's offer, but this was not effective, the federa- tion rules requiring a majority of two-thirds for a continuance of the strike. Only feur districts were against the offer, namely, South Wales, with a majority of 4,600; Lancashire, 65,000;, Nottinghamshire, 1,000, and the For- est of Dean, 200. The total vote was 684,549. One immediate result of the settle- ment is the resumption of racing, and the railway services will be restored, it is expected, on Monday. ti Recover $13,000 Radium Thrown in Sewer A despatch from Utica, N.Y., says: -The 513,000 worth of radium belonging to a Utica physician which was lost in a hospital sewer last Sun- day, was found this afternoon in the sewer pipe not far from the hospital. The radium was thrown into a toilet bowl by a patient who felt annoyed by its heat. Twenty men have been up- rooting and examining the sewer since its loos was discovered: The radium itself was in a vial especially made for it, and it is in three particles, each about the size of a small bird shot. Two Soviet Divisions Wiped Out by Wrangel A despatch from Conetentinople says: -General Wrangel has person ally taken charge of a violent rear -1 guard cavalry action and cut to pieces two divisions of Red cavalry north- east of Saikova, aceording to adesices received here. His position is report• ed to be improving, with the ,chance of effecting a suecessftil retreat for the main body of his troops. HiLL"faamr AM' WAGON, 41,,14 F'y Nem,/sal" c* 61)1L.D04 'BLCCtIS ,, ,•--�--- CANADA- REDUCES NATIONAL DEBT Expanding Revenues in Oct. Effect Substantial Decrease A devpatch from Ottawa says: -Ex- pending revenues last month brought a redavotion in the net' Canadian na- tional debt of 52,634,356. At the end of 'Septeanber the net debt (no credit being taken for non-active assets), stood at 52,270,516,168. During Oc- tober it was reduced to 52,273,881,806, at which figure it now stands. The bounding revenue, coupled with a heavy fall in capital expenditure due to the practical closing up of war ac- counts, is regarded with keen satis- faction. During the seven months of the fis- cal year ending Oct. 31 ordinary.rev- enue was as follows: 1920, 5256,576,- 967; 1919, 5186,408,795, in increase iii revenue of 570,168,172. Total revenues collected in October -lane were $36,6'71,056, compared with $27,323,334, or en increase of over nine million dollars. The new taxes imposed on sales and luxuries last session are apparently the money -getters. They are included in Finance Department returns under the head of inland revenue, and inland revenue kat month was nine times what is was in October, 1919, the fig- ures being: October, 1919, $•1,045,708; October, 1920, 59,534,178. Income tax collcotions during the month were 5712,093, in comparison with 5272,691 in October, 1919, also a heavy increase. Business profits tax 'shows a decline of 5208,000. Both customs and excise also show slight reductions. Ordinary expenditure during ' the last two seven months' periods of 1920 and 1919 was: 1920, $180,390,913; 1919, 5159,049,406; increase, 521,341,507. Capital expenditure during the seven months was $21,804,572 in 1920, as compared with 5230,164,048 in 1919. STATE OF PEACE TO BE DECLARED New Republican Congress to Make Peace With Late Foe A despatch from Washington says: -The first act of the Republican Congress elected on Nov. 2 will be to pass a resolution declaring a state of peace to exist between the United States, Germany and Austria, it is learned from a high senatorial source. When President Harding has signed ,the resolution, which, according to one senator, he is prepared to do, the gov- ertwnent will proceed without delay to appoint diplomatic and consular offi- mals to the eentral cowers, lend to re- sume all of the normal relations exist- ing between peaceful governments. Settlement of various• claims against the former belligerents, it was stated, will be submitted to commissions. - Such a course, it was stated, will leave the United States entirely free from any provision of the Versailles Treaty and the League of Nations. U.S. President -Elect Pro- nounces on Legue A despatch from Marion, Omsays:- Malcing his first speech as President- elect, Warren G. Harding declared at an election celebration of benne=folks here bhat_{:he Versailles -'League' of Nations was "now deceased," although the new Administration intended to see that the nation played .its part in a new international association found- ed on peace and justice. Mr. Harding also told his friende and neighbors, who gathered arousal the front porch in a cheering een- course rivalling the greatest crowd of the campaign, that he hod coarse through thefight "aibhoiat an apology or a regret," and that he would rather not have the Presidency than to wen it "by speaking ill or uttering a lie." The celebration, in which many from other Ohio cities joined, was characterised by all the carnival fea- tures of an old-time polit col rally. So great was the. gathering that the streets were jammed for a.li•,ock away, and only a small part of those present could hear the speech.

Burn Money Thain Matches, A despatch from London says; -A British oficial who recently returned from the Crimea stated that it was cheaper to burn money in South Russia than snatches, because 100,000 rubles are equal to about $4 and a box of matches cost 10,000 rubles, It is cheaper to light cigarettes and pipes with hundred ruble notes than with matches. Putting the Garden to Sleep for Winter. To the person who is only In the ordinary, casual way fond of fiowere,. the joy oe the garden passes with the passing of its acitumnal opulence- the purples, yellows and reds that flame throughout the gorgeous closing weeks of the season. When else last chrysanthemum goes there IS nothing left. But to the true glerden lover, es- pecially. to the one who is his own" gardener,, much yet. remains. There is still left the delightful :azo of preparing for winter, tucking up the flower beds for their long sleep, with lingering pats and Palings over and. Pilings up and diggings in; heaping a rustling coverlet of leaves in one cor- ner, roundng up the soft earth in an- other to keep the water from freezing too close round tender roots; judici- ously spreading protecting boughs in a third -close, flat mats of juniper or scented tufts of pine and fir -and then, perhaps, a few fine climbers to finish with, that must be neatly sewed in bagging again'st .their trellises. Besides bedtime attentions such as these for old friends, there arq the hospitable attentions to be shown to stranger bulbs -late come guests gone at' once Into seclusion, hardly recog- nirable, dingy, dry, dull, unrespon- sive which will wake in the morning, some bright day next April, radiant and vigorous, bringing new charm, new tints or new fragrance to reward their host. Their quarters must be suitably pre- pared and the newcomers shown to their beds -a task full of happy faith and exalted expectation. A few hand- fuls of wizened little things no bigger 1 than walnuts now, but next March how beautifully blue will be that patch beneath the southern window, ' with the exquisite, pendant scilla from Si- berian snows, delicately hardy as the snowdrop, richly azure as a noonday sky in midsummer. • A whitish, scaly lump the size of a man's fist now --next August a tall stalk of the incomparable golden ray- ed lily from the lava strewn moun- tain slopes, of Japan, a miracle of stately beauty. Every gardener is a dreamer whose flowers bloom many times in fancy for their once in fact, and in the very act oY making r his garden for the long winter he evokes Melons of a coming summeready, always more beautiful than the last. The New Ruler of Mexico General Alvara Obregon, who has just been appointed President of Mexico. He will be installed in ofllce shortly. . All the Conveniences. A suburban housewife relates over- hearing this conversation between her new Swedish maid and the cook next door: - "I-Iow are you, I•Iilda?" said the cooly. "Mu well;" replied Ililda, "I like my yob. We get__ cremated cellar, ce.netory plumbing, clastic lights and a Isoositl' "What's a 'hocsit,' Hilda7" the cook asked.

Byrnes International Court or J ustJce to D splae a League, Says Harding A despwtc'h frons Washington 'intea'tw1donal court, which will pass says; Tho proposed new association of nation's which President-eleet IIstrd- ing will suggest to displace the pros- ent League of Nations will be based upon the international court of arbitral justice formulated by former Secre- tary of State Knox. Some of the ideas contained in the thirty-two treaties of arbitration negotiated by , Mr, Bryan will hlso be included, The permanent headquarters of the proposed.assoeieation, it was g'tate1 ig• a high 'diplomatic official, will be at The Hague, where the maebinery for e boort is already available, Under the plan suggested, each par- ticipating nation will have a resident delegate who will be a member of the Mem all questions threatening Mame- (hate war; Ilach nation, big and lit- tle, will have one vote, a majority to decide. One of the most powerful agents to enforce decisions of the court will be the economic embargo, which a14 nations will be pledged to exercise against the offender. It is recognized that so long as the world exists nations will fight, but; it is hoped to make the moral and economic penalties so impressive that they will hesitate a long time before beginning hostilities. While the proposed organization is an astsoeiation of nations backed by moral force, it is to be in nosense a league whose docieNns its members are pledged to fulfil by force of arms. Part -Time -People Taking the crowd in the' street as wefind them one by one,. we see on every side people who are partly use- fur and partly .useless. They start saonetiiing with enthusiasm and de not put it through. They are great at lie - ginning. They beat a drum and sum- mon an army and postpone the action until the fortunate moment hes gone' by. You can depend on then here and there. They may be satisfactory per- formers when all conditions favor and they have things their oavn way. But you' cannot be quite sure of them. They nrtsy fail you in a pinch.' Their eloquence captivates, their brilliancy inspires, but when it comes down to sober, humdrum, day -alter -day ..pro- duction -they disappoint. They cannot keep office Imre. They cannot ener- gize conseoutivel'y. They function by fibs and starts,- Do not look to then foriregularity in action .or a definite and punctual aelsvery, , The able and the justly distinguish- ed among the sons of men are those whose productive labor is not fitful and casual but drncessant. They do not wait to go to their -work until they feel like it. If those who carry the burden of the world's toil consulted their moods things would be at a standstill. Tile engineer may not feel like climbing into his cab; the 'good wife may root feel like cooking a meal; a man may feel too ill to write books or paint pictures or -build bridges or set type .or sail a ship. A. thousand disinclinations spring up in us to pull us away from exercise that is not fun. But _the real man says to them all: "This is something I have to do. Duty is the overlord of inclination. I een- not quell my cansdenee as if it were a txoubleeonie insect. 'Some unsub- duable voice within me will not, bit m- rest. I must be about nay busi- ness." This is a time when honest -labor in some quarters is not in vogue, and pretexts for sloth are sought and of- fered unashamedly. The work is still .to be done, and if some refuse to do it the rest must be all the busier for their refusal. The places of trust will not go to the demoralized; they will go to those who have shown them= eelves fit to be trusted. They will go to the ones whose minds and bodies, disciplined to steady industry, over- come mountainous obstacles with a ninitnum of waste and friction. Blessed is the toiler who puts in a -full day's work for a full day's pay; whose thought and hand are given undistracted to the immediate task; who is able to concentrate utterly and say: "This one thing I de." Such a one is worth several of those who give but one lobe of the brain to what they aro doing; who bestow two fingers where they should take hold with all the hand. Their wits and their affec- tions are afar off. They move as in a dream. Amusing they niay be in an interlude of social entertainment, but they cannot stand and hold their own against those stalwart, valiant souls who give all of themselves ell of the time (with reasonable spaces left for play) to the serious occupation for which they were set on earth. Card Games Contrary to Parliamentary Traditions A despatch from London says: -The demand by members of Parliament for a Billiard and card room at the House of Cotnmone has been rejected, the •first •Commissioner of Works stating that there is no accommoda- tion available, Also, he said that such games were contrary to the traditions of the House., Of English invention are machines for making briquets from the borings of brass or cast iron at a epeed of four tons an hour. The eggs preserved in waterglass should be fresh and infertile. They should be good uniform stock and free from all checks and cracks. The liens need plenty of oyster shells so they will place good firm shells on ell •the eggs that are to be. preserved. (1) >zr-'e1-t ;tz HAVE, 5EVe1'-•I icedea,5 V.sm-t sold., CP1MaLS.

The greater part of the repayment has been in funded debt renresented by borrow - 1 cgs through ,Issues of short tine long term securities such as stational war bonds and stock. The floating debt has ase been materially reduced. A significant feature of the debt situation is that Great Britain is ad- hering closely to the program of debt repayment outlined by the Char taller of the Exchequer for the present fin- - anetal• year, which began ,on ,rips; l 1. The Chancellor's budget calls Mr a balance of 8284,000,000 in the fiscal year 58 be applied to debt repoyniont. This balance is to be obtained largely through reduced expenditures.
