platform and the p1anks of which
more nearly approximate the desired
declaration of human rights than do
the planks found in the Republican
platform
Not only in the specific utterances
relating directly to questions held
paramount by labor is the com par1son
favorable to Governor Cox His pro-
gressive and constructive view point
holds throughout his declara ton of
public questions, though he slips at
times into that ambiguity which un-
fortunately has marked to a greater
or less degree the platforms of both
parties and the utterances of both
candidates.
cit must be exasperating to the
whole American public that political
parties bidding for the suffrage of
the whole citizenship can not state
in definite terms what are their pro-
posals and what are their pledges.
The same evaporation must be felt
regarding many of the utterances of
candidates. However, the viewpoint
of Governor Cox is, we find, more
clearly expressed and less open to
the criticism of lack of clarity.
Moreover, and as argument
that admits of no qualifying, or de-
NAL there is Governor Coxs record as
governor of Ohio during which he
acted upon 50 measures of interest
| to labor without acting on a single
one adversely to labor.
| This is record of fidelity to hu-
| mainly, of understanding of the needs
| of the great masses of the people
| that has few equals in American poll
teal life.

Washington. Aug BODY the As I
ISOLATED Press)-Organized labor's |
non-partisan political campaign COM
mittee, comparing the public records |
of the republican and democratic
presidential nominees, declared in a
report made public today that Gov
ernor Cox had "shown himself poses
sed of fuller understanding of the
needs of the working people"
The report, signed by Samuel Com
pers, president; Matthew VOL, vice
president; and Frank Morrison, secre-
tary of the American Federation of
Labor; is the first ever made on
presidential candidates by a fedora
ton committee.
Taking up the senatorial record of
Senator Harding. the committee de-
clared that on Is measures dealing
with labor his score stood: Favorable
Z; unfavorab1e 10; paired unfavor-
ably l.
The Republican nominees vote on
labor issues during his term in the
State Senate of Ohio, as reported by
the committee, stood: Favorable 6;
unfavorable o. In this connection
the report said:
Senator Harding's record in Wash
ington affords better opportunity for
analysis of his legislative views than
does his record in thu Or.-o Senate by
reason of the fact that his term of
service extended for a longer period
of time, during which he was called
upon to consider a wider variety of
measures"
Reviewing Governor Cox's record
the report said that while Governor
of Ohio he had acted upon 50 meas
ures of interest to labor without act
ing on a single one adversely to Ia
Dor" AS a member of the SIND con-
gress, the governor was recorded as
voting Favorable" to labor on two
measures, the only ones listed.
After reviewing and quoting at
length from the utterances of the
candidates on labor issues in their
speeches of acceptance the commit
tee summarized it's findings in this
language:
There can be but one conclusion
based upon a careful and impartial
survey of the actions and declarations
of the candidates. Governor Cox has
shown himself of a. fuller understand
ing of the needs of the working peo-
pie, a reader response to their needs
and to their proposals and a broader
craftsmanship in his public discus
sions of the problems of the indus
trial world.
I'm addition to his superior under
standing, Governor Cox is the can
didate on platform which labor has

BOARDWALK SHOPS WILL
PUT BAN ON SILK SHIRTS

ATLANTIC CITY, March 2t.--Some
OF the fashionable shops along the
boardwalk are talking OF eliminating
the erstwhile popular silk shirt vir-
tualiy to the point OF boycott. Inss-
much as nearly all the leading mcrch-
ants along the promenade are inter-
related by marriage, any movement
in this direction would have perfect
organization. There is a feeling alop z
the boardwalk that some one must
strike a blow at the high cost OF
smart dressing.
One of the haberda shers says he
has ceased to lay in silk shirts. Gar
ments that in normal times would
cost only $3.50 now are bringing
prices as fancy as the patterns. Most
boardwalk silk shirts. this dealer
complains. cost from SIS to SIS.
Neither the value nor the quality is
in them he says. Substitution OF the
best type OF madras shirts and those
OF silk and good cotton textures will
be the boardwalk modes hereafter, as
far as most leading shops are cons
cerned.

MAyPROLONCL|FE
TO 1900 YEARS
Or. Eugene L. Fisk Asserts Great
Age Is Attainable by Use
OF Radium.

NEW YORK. March 2I.-Announce-
ment OF the establishment OF the Ma
tional Radium Bank, which has $50
600 worth OF radium to lend to hos
pitfalls and physicians for therapeutic
use all over the country free OF
charge. was made yesterday at the
opening session OF the annual meet
ing OF the Medical Society OF the
State OF New York at the Waldorf
Astoria. The bank il at 50 Liberty
street. and the Post Graduate Hos
pital already has received from II
without charge 5000 worth OF the
material for use In its research work
and its cancer experiments.
Further interest was given to the
proceedings by the possibility-ad-
vanced by DR.. Eugene L. Fisk. OF the
Life Extension Institute. in a paper
read before joint meeting OF the
Section on Medicine and the Section
on Public Health. Hygiene and Sani-
tation--that human life might be
prolonged for as much az 1900 years.
DR.. Fisk admitted that such thing
would be terrible" but said that II
the life cycle OF men and women was
heightened TO the proportionate ex-
tent that science has already
stretched the life OF the fruit fly, IL
was entirely possible.
DR.. :. A. V. Sochecky exhibited the
three grams OF radium which will
constitute the National Radium
Banks capital to the assembled ply
sicisns at the Waldorf. 1t was con-
tsined in two lead cylinders eight
inches in diameter, In which holes
had been bored for the small glass
tubes which enclosed the pure ra-
dunn. IL is the largest collection OF
American mined raduim In existence.
and represents the most valuable in
dividuai mass OF the precious mineral
in the world. The cylinders were
watched closely by private detectives
during the time they were in view.
although IL was declared that the ra-
dunn would be quite useless to the or
binary thief.
The radium came from Colorado,
and the, United States is no longer de.
pendent upon outside countries for
the supply OF this element The
founders OF the bank are r. Coleman

MAKING MISTAKES

A mistake in judgment and action may have serious consequences, but as all men are fallible, they find it easy to overlook or forgive a mis- take.
 The thing that rankles is the good deed that might have been done and was not; the kindness that should have been shown, and was not; a duty neglected on the performance of which some others welfare depend- ed; these are the things that are hard to pass by.
 Tt isn't the thing you do, dear,
 It's the thing you leave undone, That gives you bit of a heartache
 At the setting of the sum-"
 To make a mistake is an indication of energy and activity that needs only direction and guidance to make good. The person who never makes a mis- tEke seldom makes anything else. But a mistake corrected is lesson we'll learned, and a getter of wisdom for the years to be.

HOOVER SOUNDS WARNING

Herbert Hoover has sounded a warning against the development of class antagonisms in the United States. He declares that the saliva tion fthe present situation in the United States depends upon produc- tion of the present situation in the and the avoidance of all extremes He says Russias experiment in class government is bankrupt, and he urges Americans to approach the problem that they have to solve without follow ing the capitalism of Adam Smith or the Socialism of Karl Marx. He fav- ors the recognition of the right of col 1ective bargaining on the part of la bor, declaring that the American Fed eration presents one of our strongest bulwarks against socialism.
 Mr. Hoover insisted that there were extremists on both sides of the rapi ta1labor question and that the solu- tion of present day problems must be worked out without reference to these extremists. He said that employers often overlooked the patent fact that the vast majority of the members of organized labor were individualistic in their attitude of mind and that "la- bor organizations, as they stand to- day, are the greatest bulwark against socialism,"
 He appealed to the engineers of the nation-a men who were not employ CTS, or laborers, or bankers-to give their group service to the group prob- lems of the country, to help erect, as he expressed it, "a bridge of co-opera- tion" between interests which too of- ten appear to be in conflict.
 That MT. Hoover is right most thinking people will agree. What America needs is to produce, and to prduce there absolutely must be CO., operation between employer and en- pIoyee And cooperation means the riddle course, and often give and take. There should be cooperative bargaining on the one-hand and on the other hand there should be good faith, consideration of actual conditions by both sides. The man who has money invested is entitled to fair return sn his money and the man who works in entitled to wage that will permit him to live in comfort and to save some money. Both employer and em- ployee should paly with their cards on on the table and within sight all the time. In other words, the only way to cooperation Is to cooperate. - Juneau Empire.
