his movement to force pro-league oi
National leaders In the Republican,
party to break with Senator Harding,
Governor James M. Cox, Democratic
i presidential candidate, before a largo
audience here Monday night fired
nine questions at former l'resldent
William Howard Taft.
Governor Cox s questions were
caused by Taft's statement that Arti-
cle 10, the so-called heart of the cove-
nant, should be dominated.His speech
followed a set address at Springfield,
111., and an unexpected rear platform
talk at Litchfield. At the latter place
a block signal was pulled on the Cox
special In order to hear a talk from
the Governor. Ills Inquiries to Taft
were:
1. 1)11 you not in an article In the
Covenanter, under the title, "The
Principle Wo Fought For" discuss
Article 10 in these words: "The law
of tho league with the sanction of the
power of the league, thus forbids the
violation of tho International amend-
ment "Thou shall not steal by force,'
jit is the embodiment of the principle
.that we entered and fought tills war
to maintain."

Mrs. Sam Mitchell relumed to her

after spending Sunday r.lght In IMS'

Planck, and husband. She had been
out nc.'ir Weston visiting her brother,
H. R. Childress and wlfo and other
friends and old neighbors In that vi-
cinity for a couple of weeks, sne was
formerly Mrs. M. F Medlen of Wes-
ton. She and her first husband lived
on one of W. D. Smith's farms for ten
years but they moved away In 1906.
Mr. Medlen died after leaving this,
county. Her present husband, Is a
.substantial business man and farm
owner of Fletcher, Oklahoma.
This won Mrs Mitchell's first visit
back to this county since she left It.
fourteen years ago. She commented
on the very marked advancement
that she observed In the development
of the county, especially In good road*
out through the country and paved
streets in McKlnney. Before depart-
ing for home, Mr*. Mitchell called and
renewed for The Weekly Democrat*
Gazetto for another year. She wiw ac-
companied to our office by her niece,
Mrs. Henry Planck and her slster-ln-

In event of violation of the conditions
of the covenant?"
5. Did not ycur proposal carry a
force and in till* respect was It not
very much more drastic than Article
10 of tho league?
6. You ray that Senator Hording
"has already voted twice for the
league with reservations," but yo-i
failed to say that your candidate
definitely announced that if he had
It to do over again, ho would not
vot« for tho league even with the
I<odge reservations?
7. You say that Senator Harding
"promise* that us President he will
endorse the covenant without Article
10." If so. It Is not so much In con-
flict with Senator Harding's recent
statement that he proposes from now
on to turn his back on the league?
8. Assuming that the pledge has
been given you, then may wo not an-
swer It with your own words spoken
at a luncheon given by the civic or-
ganizations of California, in which
you said, "Tho gentlemen In the Sen-
ate who are setting out to defeat this
Dengue of Nations are those I would
not trust overnight."
9. How did you reconcile the re-
cent statement that tho President was
responsible for the failure to ratify
the treaty with your statement In
your Metropolitan Opera Hpuse
speech, on March 5, 1919, as follows
"if the President Insists, as I hope
he will, that the league be Incor-
porated In the peace treaty and brings
it back, responsibility for postponing
peace Is with tho body that refuses to
ratify It."

for another year in the same capa-
city. J. A. Rountree Is a native of
North Carolina. From boyhood, his
life has been connected with cotton
manufacturing industries. He came
directly to McKlnney from Mobile,
Alabama, where he was manager of
a big (Barker Mills) concerti. His
success In guiding the destiny of Ool-
Itn county's largest industrial plant
has more than met expectations. It*

to seven rooms. The employes have
organized a twenty-one piece band.
The Mill la now building a large
two-stoity club house to be usod as a
social centre. Its ground floor is for
the use ot the women and the upper

only looks after the affairs of his
stockholders In the mill, but he as
diligently keeps a lookout for the best
interests of his employes. Their so-
cial life, amusement, recreation and
educational needs aro ®1I matters or

and religious phases of life for his
employes evokes hs substantial en-
couragement at all time*. As a re-
sult, the morale of the laborers In
the mill is unexcelled In any manu-
facturing plant. No labor tr'ubles
hinder the efficiency of the enter-
prise. Mutual friendship, sympathy
and cooperation characterise both

As A Citizen.
During the little more than two
years that he has lived In McKlnney.
J. A. Rountree has alreUdy achieved
an enviable place In the esteem of hi*

the genoral welfare, contentment and
happiness of those among whom he
lives. About seventeen years ago,
Mr. Rountree, when a meme youth,
helped establish a cotton mill at Hllls-

ever, while at Hlllsboro, he met,

events. Those three weeks will be
particularly bad for gathering corn
and picking cotton. However, all my
old and careful readers will remem-
ber that I always make an exception
when I forcast bad storms. A severe
earthquake, tornado or hurricane,
anywhere always takes tho life force
out of bad storms. The great earth-
quake In Italy quieted the severe
storms I had predicted for September
G to 20. October is a hurricane
month. I expect a hurricane not far
from middle of October, but an earth-
quake would kill the hurricane and
modify the expected bad weather 1

Canadian scientists have organized
the "Cnnadlan Society of Technical
Agriculture." with headquarters at
Ottawa. That Is certainly a move in
the right direction. Professor W. P.
Thompson, of the University of Sas-
katchewan, Is among the active mem-
bers. I call attention of American
agriculture and of agricultural scien-
tists to that move. Farmers and
tesearchors of America have been too
much like oil and water. They should
get together. As I see It. the cause
of the indifference of farmers to
agricultural scientists lies in the
language used by the latter. A hun-
dred sciences, more or less, are
building as many languages more det-
rimental to general Information than
h.tve been the provincialisms of Great
I*. iintu. Time was when tho people
ol' one shire could not understand the
language of their neighbors. Farmers
r< :-eing fairly well educated, but
they will never understand the lan-
guages of the various science cults,
