M'ADOO SPEAKS ' i OF LEAGUE PLAN Deermined That Vitality and Force Shall Not Be Destroyed By j Subterfuge t Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 7.?Wil- j liam G. JIcAdoo, former secretary j of the treasury, discussed labor, the league of nations, and prohibition in a Labor day address here today. ;] Referring to the league of na-', tions, the former secretary suid:j "Those who contend for the leagus ; I do not insist as to its form. They do;, insist tbtat he great principle which ' gives it vitalty and force shall v. at be emasculated by suberfuges putj forward by a cabal in the senate,! M^hich was more interested in pro-j moting war because the men who! control the ? Republican party ai*e? more interested in promoting wars: than in promoting peace. We can' destroy war if we can forget polities', and have the courage and confi dence to do it." Mr. McAdoo said that his convictions regarding labor were con- i firmed by his experiences as rail road administrator. Some of them v.cre: Ji That the eight hour day is a basic i principle of our social and econo- ! mic system; that labor organizations 1 have a right of existence; that their I suppression or oppression does vio-,' ler.ce to modern thought and pro-,' gress; that the right of collective,; bagaining must be conceded to labor ,: organizations; that they, have as : much right to be entitled as their employers to be represented by agents of their ? own choice; that! agreements made by labor organizations impose upon them just as J sacred obligations as they impose i 1 Addn (Senator E.J).

RANN \ > imifmw?mwmwi THE FALL SKIRT THE fall skirt is a neat garment which looks a good deal like the spring skirt, but costs more, owing to the European war, which has caused a great scarcity of everything except campaign bunk. The fall skirt was gotten up last February in the heart of Paris, France, and sent over here to be sold to women who do not care to look like <iny of their neighbors. To the dull and unpracticed eye of man it is hard to tell a new fall skirt of the 1917 model from the one his wife wore twice in the early spring and discarded aft'"nl'tnor hnrvif 1'irwr flicnnVPrf Ci lllillWll^ tuc inn i 11 j 111^ that it was three-quarters of an inch too long to he strictly au fait.

Is nothing more depressing than a new skirt which is only 75 per cent an fait and folds carelessly about both ankles, instead o( tilting back rakishly and blinding the innocent bystander in both eyes. Great care has bFeu taken, according to the fashion periodicals, to make the fall skirt so long that It can bt* worn to^hurch with perfect propriety. By actual measurement it will reach to the top of a 12:inchr boot, which will prevent anybody from tripping on it. In fact, it is estimated that it is going to be harder to: trip over one of the new fall skirts than it is to escape the strident voice of the cafe piano player. \ The fall skirt will be made of anything that costs more than it did- last winter, but will not be guaranteed against defects of workmanship or material. Stripes will be worn a great deal by women who would look better In some solid, neutral tint like black taffeta. The nervous, high-voiced Scotch plaid will* also be favored by wives whose husbands have learned to suffer in silence. Owing to the increasing hardiliood of the American woman, the fall skirt will have the same kind of lining as the silk stocking, but the latter will contain n trifle more material.

Murphy, pastor of St. Paul's Datholic church, has returned to Spartanburg. A welcome home re:eption was given in his honor at ;he rectory on North Dean street. Father Murphy accompanied Sishop Russell on the occasion of ;he bishop's offiical visit to the pope, vhich all Catholic bishops must ;ake evei*y five years. The party sailed from New York on the steamship Patria early in June, anding at Naples. From there the jarty went to Rome and had several visits to the Vatican. They found Pope Benedict XV in e::cc'!:r.t lealth and much interested in Amjrican affairs. All over Italy, Father Vlurphy stated, they found indus;rial strikes, especially on street :ar lines. They found a great shortage of coal existed in Ita'y, necessitating the railroads running . on about one-third their regular schedule. | In London, Father Murphy was present at the unveiling cf a monument to Abraham : inccln and heard the speech or' Premier Lloyd 'George who presented it in behalf I FINE FARM 70 ACRES Fine ] this land is inside houn Falls, S.
