But it is only here and there a man
is found who openly proelaims his OBJ
jections. and challenges discussion of
them. The subject has its perils for
men in office, and perils also for men
seeking office
Not improbably, however, we shall
hear discussion as the campaign
warns up of the differences between
the old democracy and the new; as
to whether the old is suited to these
times; as to what the new embraces,
and where it points, and particularly
as to whether the Cox democracy re
sembles the Jeffersonian or the VIII
sonian democracy, or is fashioned on
lines Of its own.
But warm and bitter as this row is,
Gov Cox stands in no danger of los
ing the Lone Star state. Texas will
vote the national democratic ticket in
November no matter who heads the
state ticket. No other result is within
the possibilities The republicans
have no organization in the state
worthy the name. They are strong
in few spots. but taking the state
by and large the democratic hold is
unshakable.

The Suffrage Prospect.

Suffrage prospects are not partieu
larly bright. Ratification of the fed
eral amendment depends, apart from
the challenge to the West Virginia
vote entered in court recently, upon
the action of legislature of Tennessee
or that of North Carolina, soon 20
meet in extra session. From Tennes-
see, however, come reports that indi-
cate that there is a majority against
ratification in both houses, while it is
also stated that in North Carolina the
sentiment on this subject is over
whelmingly adverse. Urgent appeals
are being made to democratic leaders
to bring pressure to bear in Tennessee
to effect ratification, just as pressure
was brought upon republican leaders
for effect in Delaware Thus far there
is no token of change of heart on
the part of the Tennessee legislators
If Tennessee and North Carolina vote
"no" on ratification, the score will
stand thirty-five in the affirmative and
ten in the negative. leaving Connect

Supreme Stiffness.

The height of the ridiculous was
reached at Newark, n. J., the other
night when 10000 people turned out
to witness the funeral of a pet canary.
for which $500 had been subscribed
by friends and neighbors of the birds
owner. A brass band of twelve pieces
playing funeral dirges led the pro-
cession, hearse carrying tiny white
coffin containing the body of the bird
followed, and coach came next with
the chief mourner and few friends.
Police reserves had to be summoned
to preserve order. The bird was own
ed by an Italian cobbler and was ia
nous for the sweetness of its voice.
When it died through trying to eat a
watermelon seed the old cobbler was
overcome with grief. and to assuage
his sorrow his friends contributed. the
funeral funds. Nobody seemed to
think of practical and beautiful
means of paying tribute to the song
ster such as the endowment of a bed
in hospital, for example. This is
surely sentimentalism gone to the ex-
treme of Stiffness never before sur
passed.

Radical Coal Miners.

Reports vary as to the extent tC
which coal mining has been resumed
in the bituminous field, where recently
without warrant and iii violation of
the agreement made by the union in
acceptance of the wage award a strike
occurred. President Wilson's message
on the subject was followed promptly
by an order given by the head of the
United Mine Workers for the men to
return to the mines. According to
some accounts this order has been
generally obeyed save in Pennsylvania
while other dispatches state that in
the Illinois field little heed has been
given to the command to resume min
ing. Evidently there has not been a
general response.
The Illinois miners, it is stated. are
badly disaffected by radicalism. Their
ranks are filled with agitators and
promoters of socalistic ideas, cleft
wingers" of the worst type. A large
percentage of them are aliens, igno-
rant and illiterate. They have been
making very good wages. Some of
them have been thrifty and have saved
their money. Yet they are discomfort
ed, not merely with the scale of pay
but with the general system. They
want communal ownership of the
mines. The same material that com
prised, if it does not still comprise.
the I. W. w. is present in these To-
calities.
Resumption of coal mining is vital
national necessity. The country must
have fuel. If the miners will not re-
turn to work soon it will be necessary
to fill their places with others. This
is not very highly skilled trade,
most of the work being of mechan-
zeal nature. 1t is not to be conceived
that the mines will remain idle simply
because of the bolshevism of those who
hitherto worked them.

ALL Other States
The Leaders Regular.

The leaders are all regular this year
Not bolter ;or a shirker is listed on
either side. Mr.. Bryan Is waiting for
his heart to come back to him, but
when his anatomy is once more com
plete he will probably show up IN the
Cox column.
Gen. Wood has pledged his support
to Mr.. Harding. A War Department
regulation will keep him off the stump
but his influence nevertheless will he
felt in the campaign.
GOV. Iowden will take the stump,
and should be very effective there. In
his races for Congress and in that for
the Office he now holds his stumping
tours rewarded him handsomely.
Senators johnson and Borah are
both in line for the Chicago ticket,
and will be a tower of strength IN
the west. They are brilliant men, and
rank with the most popular orators IN
the country. They will probably exert
themselves the more for their short
hesitation after the convention. Now
that they have decided to he good,
they will probably be very good.
Both Mr.. McAdoo and Mr.. Palmer
his leading competitors at San Fran
cisco-will take the stump for Gov
Cox. Mr.. McAdoo made much repu-
tation as stumper on his liberty
bond tours. while Mr.. Palmer showed
quality in eanvassing for delegates IN
his presidential venture. Champ
Clark thinks the democratic ticket a
strong one. and will speak for 1t,
while Senators Glass and Simmons Will
have time to spare from home engage
ments to do stumping service IN the
debatable territory.
II remains to be seen whether these
leaders can deliver their followers.
Regularity among the captains is not
always an assurance of regularity
among the rank and file. But so far
as the leaders are concerned every
thing is running as smoothly as could
be desired.

Railroad Improvements.

When the railroads of this country
were turned back to private owner
ship last spring they were in pretty
bad shape physically. The federal
government had not been able during
the period of its management to keep
them up in point Of equipment. While
we were in the war there was small
opportunity for extensions and re-
placements. and while the terms of
restoration were being arranged there
was small incentive. Now that the
railroads have been assured of ade-
uuate income to meet expenses by an
increase of freight and passenger
rates, an extensive program of i'm
proyements has been adopted involv-
ing an immediate expenditure of over
$700000,000 This is nearly half OF
the amount of increase estimated fol-
twelve months under the new rates

Texas and Democracy.

Gov. Cox declines to referee the
Texas row. The decision is probably
wise. 1t must be some row. Texas is
the home of Col. House, Mr.. Burleson
and former Attorney General Gregory,
and presumably they have tried their
hands as conciliators. If they have
failed. how could even Gov. Cox hope
to succeed.
In way, and to a degree, what is
called Jeffersonian democracy is in the
scale down there. Former Senator
Bailey is its champion. He entered
the gubernatorial race for the declared
purpose Of reviving it. He is not
enamored of all that now passes under
the name of democracy.
Neither are many other democrats.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANpER JOHNSON.

In Public and Private.
When a man may be seen with a
manner serene
On the porch, in rocking chair
swaying,
Contented he'll seem with a summer
day dream
While the music SO sweetly is play
ing.
But later you'll find he has pulled
down the blind,
A coat and collar disdaining.
In hard work buried deep, he's neg
lectful of sleep.
It's the usual thing in campaigning.
When he goes on the road with a pom
derous load
OF speeches, each one deemed a win
People guess at his thought when it's
really of naught
Except home and the family dinner.
Yet a fierce frame of mind seems to
rankle behind
Invective and heartless complaining,
And the people who hear think him
grand, though severe.
It's the usual thing in campaigning.

also to give us the benefit OF their
experience, so that we might be

especially wanted to impress on our
people the fact that more than
money. or even than food. was tn.
necessity for men. More soldiers
were needed In the trenches, and
Immediately II was to convince ns
OF this that the other countries
sent us their sblest statesmen.
Great Britain sent the first mis-
sion to arrive, headed by the Rt.
Hon. Arthur James Balfour. who,
as we all know, before the war had
been secretary for Ireland, leader OF
the House Of Commons and premier
OF the British empire; after the war
began he had become first lord OF
the admiralty In the coalition cabi-
net and foreign secretary OF Great
Britain. 1t was really he who
fathered the entente, for he brought
about the allienee between Eng
land. France, Russia. and Japan.
With him were military and
naval experts and men prominent
in the economic and financial
worlds. The secret OF their depar-
ture from England on a fast cruiser
was SO carefully guarded that no
submarines interfered with the
voyage. They landed at Halifax
and crossed the border at Vance
boro. over the bridge which Werner
Horn had tried to blow up. As their
train ran out Of the mist onto
American soil, a little company or
farmers and workmen who had
got wind of their arrival. gathered
at the border to wave a few tat
tered flags.
On the day that the Stars and
Stripes flew for the first time over
Parliament, the commission reach
ed Washington-the 22d OF April.
Enthusiastic crowds welcomed the
distinguished men at the station
and lined the streets through which
they passed. British flags were
flying from all the windows. and

guarded them on their way to the
house where they were to stop

Long, our Third Assistant Secre-
tary of State. As they passed
slowly by in their motors, escorted
by cavalry from Fort Myer clat-
tering along on the asphalt, the
visitors bowed to right and left in
response to the clapping and hur-
rahs Of the people. 1t seemed to
me, as 1 watched them, that the
commissioners looked well and
cheerful, Notwithstanding the ter
rible strain they must have been
under during the war.
