elare a dividend. After three mouths
no dividend was declared, the plaintiff
claims that Mrs. Holt, oue of the co

profits. This brought about such
state of affairs that be and Crom aud

concern to Mrs. Uott. Poe claims that

M'KELLAR SPEAKS
FOi l LEAGUE
Tennessee Senator Sizes Up
The Opposition As
"Reactionaries"
Washington, July 2a. The League of
Xaticus v?ss supported in tha (Senate
today by fcxnttor McKellar, Democrat,
Tennessee, s one of the greatest for
ward steps ia the nation's history. Most
of the t'l position, he asserted, came
from ''reactionaries" of the same school
as those who opposed the Federal Con
stitution and those who later handi
capped the growth and development of
the country.
"There have always been reactionaries
in our country,'' said the Tennessee
Senator, "and there have always been
progressives. There have always been
forward-looking niea and backward-
looking men. There have alwaya been
men who looked to 'precedents and to
t
the past end men who looked t the
future. If tha reactionaries bad bad
their way ia tha beginning of oar gov
ernment we probably would, not have
had republic. If they had bad their
way tha republic would never have been
enlarged.
"I am not a reactionary. I am a Dem
ocrat ia its most progressiva sense. Ws
ought to improve upon those who have
gone before us. We have had better
advantages than they bad. They blazed
the path. Every, dictate of conscience,
every'dictate of commercial and indus
trial advantage, every dictate of a de
sire for peace, requires the establish'
ment of this great world pact.
"Reactionary Brpublicans and reae
tionnry Democrats who are opposing
this league, don't let your hatred of any
one man warp and aet aside your judg
ment. Whatever may be aaid of Mr.
Wilson, he has surely done great things
for America. Under his administration
we have become a world power faster
than in any other like period in our
history. All of his work has been done
for America. Let not America, who has
given this great peace covenant to the
world, be the only one to repudiate it."
The speaker quoted Senator Lodge's
peace speech in tha Senate last Decem
ber and declared the peace terms laid
dowa there bad beea substantially n
bodied in tba treaty. Senator Knot, be
said, had desired to go even further
than the league covenant in hia resolu
tion declaring the United 8tates would
co-operate to remove any future men
ses to European peace,,
Three incontestible reasons for the
league, continued the Senator, are tha
cost of war, its sacrifice of human life,
and "the utter folly of creating nations
in Europe without giving them" ' the
guaranty of life." He aaid he could not
f agree that article ten imposed only a
moral obligation to go to war to pre
serve the integrity of members, but that
it rightly imposed a legal obligation to
do so.

Young Jimson had a reputation to
keep up. He was regarded aa a great
"wit."
So one morning, when an unpopular
professor set the clsss to write an esiv

feet.
"May we write on "Bad Manners!"
he asked amid titters.
"Certainly, replied me proiessor,
blandly. "Just write about what you
know best." Edinburgh Statesman.

Every druggist In town your drug
