Individually and collectively the effort

a plan conceived in the depths of
political tniqulty,, and Is deliberate
larceny against the more responsible
employees. In its entirety. 1t is a
shameful and iniquitous scheme.
Increases in the salaries of BOr-
ough Presidents ranged all the way
from 3S Ia TO 100 per cent. and this
was the only bit Of increase legisla-
tion that they seemed TO show the
least bit Of interest in. The matter
was 80 pressing that II even worked
upon the tender feelings and the over
worked conscience of the Mayor so
that he despatched a messenger post
haste TO Albany to sec II something
couldn't be done for the poor, under
paid Aldermanic President. For-tu-
nately Gov. Smith saw no need OF
calling an extra session for so trivial
matter"
Manhattan Borough Presid ont Cur
ran declared that during a meeting
Of the Finance and Budget Commit
tee the Comptroller announced that
the salaries OF the Mayor and the
Comptroller would likely be increased
from $4,000, their present salaries
to $4,000 a year.

had copies OF the speech printed and
distributed ih the crowd 80 that folks
could take them home to read or per-
haps could follow the remarks easier
as the Governor spoke.
Only the small crowd of n few
thousand who had seats in tho COW
cred stand could really enjoy the
spoken words They evidently liked
the speech for after several hours OF
speaking they shouted for more" and
almost compelled speech from
Franklin Roosevelt Vice Presidential
candidate, after Gov. Cox had con-
cluded.
Applause came frequently and with
unquestioned spontaneity. tAa the
Governor compared President Wilson
with the soldier who was wounded In
the World War, declaring that one
fell In tho trenches while the other
broke down with the overwhelming
labors OF the war. there was an un-
mistakable response from the crowd.
The League OF Nations, too, got az
much applause as any part OF the
! speech, especially as the Governor
outlined his two vital reservations
and then said he was in favor OF
going in the League.
Every feferenoe 10 the removal Ol
! high taxes was cheered and n thC
attitude OF this crowd Is an indeS
OF what Ohio folks like, It Ia appar.

about reducing taxes. From polit'

TREATY OFFERS THE REAL
WAY TO PEACE.

This is the positive declaration OF
our own Wills: that the world shall
be saved from n repetition Of this
Icrime. To this end the Democratic
Party offers a'treaty OF peace, which,
to make It real treaty for a real
peace must include League of Ma
tions; because this peace treaty, II
our best apd bFavest are not to have
died in vain, must be no thinly dis
guised armistice devised by cynical
statesmen to mask their preparations
for renewal Of greed-inspiped con-
quests later on.
at is not anti national, IL is
anti-war. No super nation bind
ing US to the decisions Of its tr-
bunals is suggested, but the
method and machinery by which
tho opinion of civilization may
become effective against those
who seek war is at least within
the reach Of humanity.
There must be no eQuivOcation, no
va&ueness, no doubt, dealing with tho
people on. this issue. The League will
not die. An idea does not die which
meets the call OF the hearts of our
mothers.
To-day we are offered Il seat at
the table of the family of nations, TO
the end that smaller peoples may be
truly safe to work out their own des-
| tiny, to the end that The sword shall
not follow on the heels of the mcr-
chant, to the end that the burden OF
! increasing armies and navies shall be
lifted from the shoulders OF a world
already staggering under the weight
, OF taxation. We shall take that place
I'VE can weil rejoice in our great
land, in our great citizenship brought
! hither out of many kindrcds and
| tongues, but to fulfill our true des-
| tiny we must be glad also for the op-
pOrtunity for greater service. SO
much calls to us for action, and the
need Is so pressing that the Stacker
of peace is a greater menace thanthe
Stacker of war. Progress will come
not through the takers, but through
the doors.
Among the most pressing Of
these national needs ! place the
lettering Of our citizenship, the
extension Of teaching TO over
100000 Of our population above
the age of ten who are iliterate,
the strengthening Of our immi-
grafton laws to exclude the physi-
| cally and morally unfit, the i'm
proVement of working conditions,
especially in the coneested CEN
| tres; the extension Of oommunioa-.

Of child life and of women in in

MORE OF A "JoLLIFlcArloN
THAN HARDING CEREMONY.

The speech satisfied the Democratic
committeeman and committee women
who had come from many different
States and II stimulated the Ohio
Democrats 10 rAdoubled effort. IL
was more Of a jOllihcation and pol
itical festival than the Harding cere-
mOny,
But there, again comparisons are
difficult. The Cox managers used the
opportunity 10 open the campaign in
this, doubtful State of twenty -four
electoral votes. The Harding affair
was staged for psychological effect
everywhere as a repetition OF the NC
Kinley style OF campaigning. And
the notification ceremonies in each
case reflect exactly the type OF cam
paign that is coming with Harding
mostly on the front porch In quiet
little town and Cox travelling around
for big political affairs, pounding IN
his arguments in militant fashion be-
fore large audiences, with street
demonstrations and all the Rrtl
known TO the stump.

"As for our home problem we have
been awakened by this war into q,
startled realization OF the archaic
shortcomings Of our governmental
machinery, and OF the need for the
kind OF reorganization, which only a
clear thinking business man, expert
enced in the technicallties OF govern

Such a man we have.
Much has been said Of late
about good Americanism. II is
right that IL should have been

chance should be siezed to repeat
the basic truths Underlying our
prosperity and our national eH-
istenoe itself. But Il would be
an unusual and much 20 be

also we are moving forward.
Even as the Nation entered the
war for an IDEAL, so it has emerged
from the war with the determination
that the ideal shall not die. II is
idle TO pretend that the war declufa-
tion Of April 6, 1917, was a mere act
Of self-defense, or that the object Of
our participation was solely to de-
feat the military power of the Central
Nations of Europe. We knew them

but half a victory. The other half is

French at Verdun: '"They shall not
