MIR. COX AND THE GERMAN
 AMERICANS

If man is proposed as a leader, it is right that the people should exam inc his record to ascertain his quail ities of leadership If he has shown in the past that he has understood them, he has one essential qualifica- tion for leadership. If he has shown however that in the past he has not understood issues until: they have come upon the people, in at least one qualification for leadership, he is lacking. James M. Cox is proposed as the leader of the. American peo- pie for the next four years. The peo- pie have been through one of the greatest crises in the history of the country. As that crisis approached what was the attitude Of MT. Cox? Did he understand that it was con- ing? Did he see it's moral signifi- canoe? If he had been in a position of leadership then, would he have led the people in the right direction or III the wrong direction? It is ligiti- mate for the people whose leader he aspires to be to ask this question.
 MT. Cox is owner and controller of the Dayton Daily News" and has been for twenty-two years. During 1915 and 1916 that newspaper in it's editorials repeatedly used arguments ts favored by the hyphenated Ameri- cans. It denounced Mr. Roosevelt for denouncing Germany for the in- vaslon of Belgium, the sinking of the Lusitania, and the submarine war fare. This is shown by extracts from he Daily News" which were first discovered and published by the New York "Sun and Herald" and by other extracts which were reprinted later by the New York "Tribune.' Tn the course of an editorial on October 5, 1916, entitled Our German Friends" MT. Cox's paper said:
 Speaking in the interests of Jus tice Hughes, MT. Roosevelt accuses the Germans of murdering men, wom- en, and children. Speaking in the interests of Justice Hughes, he finds fault with President Wilson for not Interfering when Germany entered Belgium. Speaking in the interests of Justice Hughes, Mr. Roosevelt con- demns the president for writing notes to Germany when the Lusitania was sunk. Can any German symphathizer doubt where MT. Roosevelt's heart is or where Justice Hughes would be compelled to stand if Roosevelt were back of him, as he will be if Hughes is elected president?
 We do not believe that all of our German friends or anything like a majority of them, have so lost their love for the Fatherland as to line up on the side of those who find fault because this government did not go to war with Germany over the inva- sion of Belgium We do not believe that they are so disloyal to their friends and relatives who are fight ing for what they believe to be

INLAND TRANSPORTATION

Urging the commission administra- tion of governmental affairs in Alas ka, the Chronicle suggested that one of the departments should be headed inland transportation, covering roads and railroads. To such departm ent would devolve very important duty, and as it appears now it would be the one department most difficult to sup ply with a head sufficiently broad in vision, firm in execution, and equipped by training to handle the work
 The government now has a rail- road in Alaska, which, when complet- ed, will be 800 miles long. The man. agement of this alone, which will be a big undertaking, will require the ser vices of a keen executive and engi- neer, and the building of new wagon roads and trails throughout the en- tire territory will be enormous
 Today the resources of Alaska are barely scratched, and for the most part these scratches are within a few miles of navigable waters. Back from these waters will be found, undoubtedly mineral deposits which can never be operated unless better transportation
 
 facilities are furnished.
 In Alaska today we have several road-building bodies, including the Alaska road commission, under the war department; the forestry bureau of roads, under the department of agri culture; the territorial road commis sion, under the governor, who in turn is under the department of the inter for. Three bureaus are expected to work independently on the same pro- iect Certainly a commission form of administration could remedy this con dition.
 Great things have been done in Alaska in the way of building roads and trails under trying circumstances and with almost unsurmountable ob stacles, but not nearly as much was done as could be, if all effort in this line were under the direction of one organization.
 It is a certainty that if Alaska should get it's commission form of ad ministration, with affairs centered directly in the territory, there would be eliminated three road-building or ganizations and one substituted for all, and that one more understanding of the needs and conditions than are the three now which must look to Washington, for the most part, for in. structions.-Ketchik Chronicle.
The Cordova daily times., 1920-08-21

to be counted among those men is not 9 side issue; it is fundamental. Ii the evidence that has been present ed from MT. Cox's newspapers should not be controverted, there ought to be no doubt of his defeat Americans want no leader in 1921 who was in 1915 and 1916 misled.-The Outlook

COLORED FAIR POSTPONED

The promoters of the Colored Fair
which was to have been held this
week met Saturday and decided to-
postpone the fair 80 days. The main.
reason for reaching this decision was
because there is SO much cotton in
the fields which should be gathered
while the weather is good, and anoth-
Ell reason was that the promoters
needed more time in which to prepare
for the fair. The colored folks are
very much interested in the move
ment and are laying plans to hold n
fair that will be distinct credit to
their race. Dillon county numbers
among its colored population MANY
splendid farmers and there is every
reason to believe they will get togeth-
Ell large collection of interesting
and attractive exhibits. The commit
tee has not decided on the exact date
on which the fair will be held, but.
when they reach this decision :hhe
dates will be announced through the
columns of The Herald.

COLD BLOODED MURDER.
United States Marines Trying to
WhitewaSh DaStardly Deed.

Details of the killing OF two native
Haitians on orders of an insane non
commissioned officer OF the American
marines We're learned in Washington
Tuesday, says an Associated Press
dispatch.
1t was this incident which caused
General Barnett 10 make his charge
OF indiscriminate killings by the
American forces occupying Haiti. Gen.
eral Barnett will be the first witness
before the board OF naval inquiry
which is 10 start an investigation OF
The charges Friday.
The details of killing of two ma
.ives without trial came out in the
court martial of a sergeant ard two
men who acted on his orders.
The two Haitians were Leonard
Placide and Destine Jean, who were
shot at CroiX de Bouquets On the
night of May %, 1919. One had. been
arrested for working magic" and the
other for theft. They were taken f1om

the courtmartials shows. Kerosene Is
SAID 10 have been poured over Plac-
.loe's head, only high vino blowing

ve4ng tortured by fire.
the sergeant is then said to have
assembled his firing squad, which be-
sides two marines, contained three
native gendarmes, and a civilian me-
chanic, and having ordered them to
shoot the prisoners. When the Hal
Iians failed 10 fall at the first Voiley
the sergeant is charged with finishing
them OFF with his revolver.
AT the courtmartial ii was brought
out that the sergeant was hopeleSsly
insane and the TWO privateS, 1t Is un'
derstood, were acquitted as they act
ed on orders of superior.
During the courtmartial the coun'
sci for the sergeant declared this was
not the only case OF killing OF natives
without trial. 1t is understood that
this will be explained before the nav
al board on the ground OF military
necessity. 1t is pointed out that when
then marines took "cacos,' or natlNe
bandits. they shoot them because they
mad not sufficient men TO guard the
prisoners. II released the "cacos
would inform their fellows of the po-
sltion OF the marines who usuai!!
were outnumbered and far IRON theiI

SOLDIER KILLS SISTER.
Committed Deed at Her Request to
Relieve Her Suffering.

Johann Strugger, formerly a cap
tain in the Australian army, has been
arrested on a charge OF murder for
shooting and killing his sister at heI
own request, according TO dispatch
from Constance, Switzerland. The
sister suffered fracture OF her spine
III an Alpine accident last year, knew
her illness TO be iucura5lc and had
II peatedly begged the physicians OF a
santarium OF which she was patient
TO relieve her of her sufferings by an
overdose OF morphine.
Srrugger delivered an ultimstum 10
the physicians that il they tailed to
comply with his sisters wishes within
five days he would shoot her himself.
This he did with the full consent OF
the girl.
