THE RICH MANS PHILOSOPHY

TIME benign philanthropy Of Nathan
J. Straus was never more admirably
Illustrated than in his announcement
that il IS his ambition to die poor in
worldly goods but "rich in happiness
aud in good works.
This philosophy is coming to be more
and more accepted by tho rich men Of
this country, but Mr.. Straus has an
Advantage over some Of them in that
his entire business life has been con
ducted on the high philanthropic and
generous principles which characterize
his recent utterancc. Not all of our
philanthropists can approach the work
Of aiding others with hands so clean.
Mr.. Straus quoted Hebrew proverb ::
"what you give in health is gold what
you give in sickness is silver; what you
give after death is iron. More and

MIDDL R1OWN, DEL. OCTOBER I'D, 1921
AN ICNOBLE CANDIDATE


THE Democratic party in all its his
! tory never urged so petty, SO Ig-
noble campaign as that conducted by
Mr.. Cox! Ignoring all the vital ques-
tions of the hour, it began in libel and
is ending in scurrility. Libels SO ab-
surdly extravagant they quite lost the
little force they might have had if only
more moderate; scurrility too vulgar
for newspaper recital.
Senator Harding has confined himself
to statesmanlike discussion OF the is
sues between the two parties, and with
proper dignity has refused to descend
to Cox's low ward politics and retaliate
by abusing his opponent. This admir-
able course has made him many friends
and votes among fair-minded citizens OF
both parties.
Cox, on the contrary, has INDUCED in
wholesale charges of bribery and cor
ruption too absurd for serious notice.
The whole Press Of California was in
conspiracy to suppress all news about
him and his campaign; the Republican
Party was hiring thousands Of men to
impersonate Democrats who had turned
Republicans; the Republican Party was
trying to buy the presidency; and by
the use of bayonets to reduce the Labor
Party to slavery-and lot more bosh
equally idiotic.
These childish charges have made his
campaign discredit to himself and his
party-in fact, these undignified tactics
are driving thousands of Democrats out
of the party. A leading Democrat has
fathered a movement in the middle
West that is spreading rapidly, namely,
the formation Of Democratic Harding
Clubs, one club already numbering 500
members
All "straw vote" tests favor Hard
ing by large majorities, one by the
careful methods of the Literary Digest,
shows Harding far in the lead in vote
of over 900, ZOO.
Betting just before election has al
ways been recognized as good index
of the probable result. and the latest
quotations from Wall street are ''8 to l
against Cox and few or no takers"
There is little or no question but that
Cox will be beaten by an enormous ma
jority.

NEW PROHIBITION OFFICER
