to pass before it's adjournment 5( progressive measures.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1920-07-07

Many of these laws squeezed pow erful interests and, in retaliation, it is said, they combined to cause his defeat
 Cox's workmen's compensation law is declared by King Albert of Bel gium to be model for the world. It eliminated the chief causes for ar gument between employer and em- ploye and made the compensation of injured workmen or their families an automatic action of the state.
 Child labor and "blue sky laws, that have been copied by many other states, were fathered by Cox. Initia- tive and referendum were hobbies of the governor. He saw that prisoners were given healthful occupation and abolished child labor and sweat shops in the state.
 Cox is an enthusiastic sportsman and great lover of hunting dogs. He plays golf and is a baseball fan.
 "The Man Who Does."
 The Ohio man is spoken of by his friends as "Cox, the man who does!"
 Cox married Miss Margaret Blair of Chicago, in 1917. They have one child. A previous marriage in 1893.

answer your question by asking you one. You tell this audience what a 'glut' is."
 The fellow turned all shades, shift el from one foot to another, and ap- ,peared speeches..
 "Go on, now, and tell us what 'glut' is" Cox tormented.
 The Republican finally stammered: "Never heard of one."
 "Well, I have and I've used one many time in helping my father split rails down in Butler county"
 Then addressing the crowd, the "glut" was to hold up their hand. Quite number of hands went up.
 "A "glut," explained the governor, lis big wooden wedge that you dirve into the log in splitting it."
 He was not again interrupted dur ing that speech.
 Business Success.
 As a newspaper publisher, Cox has always shown great daring.
 Twenty years ago some railroad men, who were trying to build into Dayton without eliminating Srade crossings, sued him for $425,000 criminal libel because of the hard fight his Dayton News had made against their project.
 Under a law at that time, when criminal libel was alleged, it was the duty of the sheriff to take pos session of the property unless the person sued was able to give bond in twice the amount sued for.
 The sheriff of Montgomery coun- ty. Republican, locked up the News office, with Cox and his entire work ing force on the inside, engaged in getting out the days paper.
 If Cox failed to give $850,000 bond the afternoon issue wouldn't appear.
 While he was on the telephone, soliciting aid from every friend he could think of, the opposition came out with an extra with big head line, "News Is Suspended" An hour later, however, the News was on the streets with an extra. telling how it's friends had come to

Railroad May be
 Force dto Suspend

San Angelo, Tex, July 6.-Train ser vice on the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient railroad will be suspended on September l if the action of the in- terstate commerce commission in de- nying the railroads application for loan of $3,500,O00 is final, and if the commission does not come to the Ori- ent's aid in some way, Albert DeBer- nardi, general manager, said here to- day.
 It has been estimated that addi- tional freight rates that have been applied for will be entirely, if not fnore than absorbed by the proposed advance in wages now pending before the labor board at Chicago.
 Reports from towns in Kansas, Ok lahoma and Texas served by the Ori- ent indicate they are in a dilemma and probably will hold mass meetings to devise ways and means if possible for forestalling abandonment of service to them

the rescue with the $85O,O0O bond.
 Sixteen years ago Cox bought a newspaper in Springfield, Ohio, and in one day he did three things to it: Changed it's name from Press-Re- public to The News.
 Changed it's politics from Repub- lican to Democratic.
 Changed it's time of issue from morning to evening.
 Instead of wrecking the paper these three radical changes started the paper on the road to great pros perity.
 Won The Apples. Cox won a barrel of apples from a Van Vert county farmer few years ago. At Delphos he was telling his audience that new tax law, but recently enacted, would reduce their taxes.
 "Governor,' said an old farmer who arose in the back part of the house, "we've heard that story be- fore, "we've got to showVonepeors fore You've got to show me-"
 "My friend,' said the governor, "I'll bet you $5 hat to red apple that the new law reduces your taxes"
 "I'll make it barrel" the old fel- low replied, while the crowd laughed Some months later the governor was speaking at Lima. While he was eating his supper at the hotel the colored head waiter stepped up and said man was outside and wanted to see the governor. The governor had him shown in. It was the Van Vert county farmer he had bet with
 "I just wanted to say, governor he began, "that I'll ship that barrel of apples to Columbus tomorrow The new law saved me just $15.20 in spite of the fact that I turned in S1100 more of personal property"

COX, 50, BEGAN HIS
 LIFE AS REPORTER ON OHIO NEWSPAPER
Common School and High School His Only
 Education

James M. Cox was born at Jackson burg, Bullet county, Ohio, March 31, 1870. He had a public school and high school education. His early life was spent working on a farm and attend ing school. His parents were not even Comfortably supplied with mon ey and young Cox had towork for all he got.19
 While still boy he became prin- ter's devil on a Cincinnati newspa- per, and then after q short season teaching school, became a reporter on the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Bought Dayton Paper.
 Ills shrewd appraisal of men and things won him favor in the sight of Paul Sorg, millionaire tobacco man. and, when Sorg was elected to con gross in the sos, Cox became his pri- Vate secretary. That was the Ohio governors real entry into politics. Ills acuteness as d secretary caused Sorg to back him financially in buying the Dayton News in 1898.
 Within two years the News, from liability, became one of Dayton's best paying enterprises. It was Cox's uncanny perception of public opinion that made him a successful editor. At that time he showed no signs of be- coming a reformer.
 As the paper grew and earned more money, Cox bought the Springfield Press-Republic in 1903 and formed the News League of Ohio with himself as owner and editorial director.
 Elected Governor.
 It was in 1909 that Cox, who had had his "eye on" Ohio politics since his season in Washington, made for maj entry into state politics. He serv- ed the Third Ohio district in con- gress from that year until 1913. Then he was elected governor. Republicans said that his election as democrat was an accident
 He was defeated for reelection by Frank B. Willis, republican, but in 1917Cox "came back" defeating Will lis with big plurality. He was elected for a two year term in 1919 and had hardly assumed office be- fore the great floods swept Dayton and the Miami and Scioto valleys.
 Cox won nation wide recognition by his quick realization of flood condi- tions and his prompt and energetic action. For three days and nights he did not leave his office. He became the supreme authority in the devas- tated region. Martial law was estab- lished. He directed life saving expe- ditions, food and clothing was gath cred and shipped by his direction He brought some semblance of order out of chaos within short time.
 Ruled in Riots.
 Hardly had people ceased to talk of his action during the disaster when the steel mill strikes in Ohio brought him again into prominence as man of decisive action. Riots broke out in many parts of the state Cox issued proclamation calling on all officials to enforce the laws against strikers and operators alike Riots continued at Canton.
 Cox decided the democratic mayor was at fault, removed him, establish ed republican mayor and held troops in readiness to support the new may OTIS order. They were never called for service.
 Cox's terms as governor were marked by progressive legislation in fact, it was this that caused his defeat when he ran for the second time. In the first session he spon. sored and compelled the legislature
