Tears in themselves register sadness

laugh when you are not in a humorous

if you do not laugh with your heart

Hughes to Plead Newberry
Case i'm Supreme Court
Colonel Warren, Friend of Sem
ator, Says Ex-Justice Has
Been Retained

Colonel Charles B. Warren, of De-
troit, a close personal friend of Sen
ator Truman H. Newberry, of Michigan,
said last night at the Biltmore that
Charles f. Hughes, former United
States Supreme Court Justice, would
represent Senator Newberry next Janu-
airy when his case comes up on appeal
in the United States Supreme Court.
The jury which convicted Senator
Newberry held that he had knowledge
of the expenditure of q sum in ex-
cess of the amount permitted by stat
ute in his election to the Senate, and
in excess of the amount he made affi-
davit to spending. The court instruct
ed the jury that the question Of cor
ruption was not involved.
Martin W. Littleton. of New York,
represented Senator Newberry in the
prolonged trial in the Michigan court.
His main contention was that the Fed
eral government did not have jurisdic-
tion in a purely state primary, such as
the one in which Senator Newberry
contested with Henry Ford for the
Republican nomination. 1t is under
stood that the constitutionality of the
action by which Senator Newberry was
adjudged guilty will be attacked by
Judge Hughes. Senator Newberry de-
feated Ford by about 5000 votes in
the most bitterly fought campaign in

Is almost at a standstill He added:
"Tanneries all over the country are

There is no accumulation of leather
or surplus of shoes. The whole trouble
hes with the retailers, who have
profiteered enormously and refused to
nquldate, although tanners and manu-
iaeturers have gone their limit. We
are laying off some help and would
shut down entirely if it we're not for

should be repeated on every day of their
occurrence. Still moro unreasonable is
he in demanding that his opponents en-
gage in continued answers to his we'll
worn attacks and charges, with the re-
suit of giving them further currency.
But more than this is true in Mr..
CoX's case. He is riding a jadcd horse.
He has a mount which has reached the
end Of the trail. He cannot win with
the Wilson Administration and he can
not win without it. He takes up his
presses the League of Nations on his
audiences and is confronted by the fact
that Mr.. Wilson deliberately rejected
the only possible league the United
States can enter. He is driven to the
maintenance of Article X as sine
qua non of the league, and this defeats
any league. lie cannot escape the bur
den of Mr.. Wilson's personality, which
has not only tired the country, but his
own party as we'll. He brings forth
ridiculous mus on the subject of cam
paign contributions. One practical
tendency Of this agitation is to dry up
much-needed sources of supply from
wealthy Democrats despairing of his
success and gladly seizing an excuse
to avoid spending money in lost
cause.
The advantages of the front porch
campaign on which Mr. Harding in
sisted are becoming apparent, as they
were in the Harrison and the Mckinley
campaigns and in the struggle of 1916.
1t offers Mr.. Harding the opportunity to
give out something new and short each
day which will secure publicity for it's
news value. 1t enables him to pre-
pare a careful discussion of a particu-
lar issue, to have it published in full
and to deliver it to great audience
enthusiastic as to call for legitimate
comment. In q few trips and speeches
Of this kind he can cover all the
ground necessary and say exactly what
he intends to say, and in proper form.
Mr.. Harding has we'll improved these
opportunities, and the dignity, force
and absence of demagogic appeal and
impossible promise in what he says
are in illuminating contrast to the
transforming and reckless attacks and
bids to which such a tour as Mr.. Cox's
naturally tempts him.
OF course, Mr. Harding loses the
benefit of the local touch in many
states, which with his winning man
ner and happy address might be CON
siderable. But it is, after all doubtful
how much of a loss this is From Mr..
CoY's complaints we may infer it is
not, in his case, so great as he thought
it would be. He and his supporters
anticipated that the effect of his trip
would be so threatening that it would
drive Mr.. Harding into "trailing him."
as the phrase is This hope has not
been realized. The only trailing which
is being done is by Mr.. Cox

Mr.. Cox is a journalist and some
thing of an expert in the distribution
of news. When, therefore, he attacks
The Associated Press for failing to
give to the American public a fair ac-
count of his speeches, the crowds and
the other phases of his long speaking
tour, his testimony would be weighty
but for the fact that he Is a deeply
interested witness, When one is run
ming for the Presidency his judgment
upon matters connected with thc cam
paign is not trustworthy. Men SEN
slbe and judicial under other circum-
stances will reach unsound conclusions
as Presidential candidates,
Mr.; CoX's charges against The Asso-
ciated Press and his indictment of Mr..
Hays and the Republican newspapers
for "a conspiracy of silence" are not
symptoms of the political i'll health of
Mr.. Cox. He is evidently not satisfied
with the trend of public opinion as
evidenced by the press. His Western
trip has not influenced the country as
he hoped. This is due, first, to the
necessary results of such a method Of
Presidential campaigning, and, second,
to the fact that the majority Of the
American electorate have made up
their minds to get rid Of the Demo
cratic Administration,
Mr.. Cox has been most contemptuous
of front-porch campaign. He has
preferred, he says, to go to the people
in their homes. Exercising this pref
erence, he must be content with its
usual limitations. He seeks bv per-
sonal touch and address to influence
large masses of people. He cannot at
he same time keen tho whole Aneri-
can people interested in his progress
and what he says. His first meetings
were described in great detail and his
speeches were reported in full. AS he
went on he repeated himself; he must
do So He wishes to sum up before
every audience the reasons for voting
for him. Few men can vary greatly
from day to day the substance or even
the form and vocabulary of the argu-
ments in their own behalf The first
principle of newspaper reporting re-
qulres minimizing of the space given
to such repetitions. Unless there is
something epochal in his receptions,
unless the demonstration is excep-
tional, The Associated Press cannot be
expected continuously to describe the
audiences or their approval of what is
SAID; because every residential can
dldate can draw crowds Of his friends
and invoke approval from them. The
norma! benefit with which the can
dldate must be satisfied from such

National City Bank
Optimistic Despite
Decline i'm Prices
Expresses Opinion There Is
Too Much Employment
in Sight and Crops Are
Too Big for Depression

Despite falling commodity prices and
general unsettlement in the commercial
and industrial world, the National City
Bank of New York. in it's October re-
view of economic conditions, out to- day,
sounds a note of confidence in The fun
damental basis of business, and ex-
presses the opinion that there is too
much employment in sight in the
United States and too big crop in the
barns for prolonged period of depres-
sion.
There is good reason to think" OBJ
serves the bank that in the industries
that have been most disturbed the price
reductions have gone about as far as
they will in the near future Other in
dustries must expect to contribute their
share in the general readjustment, and
the more readily they do so the better
all around. These price reductions have
not yet been reflected in retail prices
everywhere. but that, too, is develop
ment on the way, and which the enter
prising, public-spirited merchant will
want to hasten"
Discussing the better tone in the
credit situation, as we'll as the general
banking situation, the City Bank says;
Some people say the increase of loans
last year caused the rise of prices and
some say ii was made necessary by the
rise in prices, but it would be q more
accurate statement to say that the in
crease of loans financed and made pos
sble the rise of prices. If credit had
not been granted so freely there would
have been, less competition for goods,
material and labor; less speculation In
commodities, and possibly some tempo
rary curtailment of industry in which
G,,Ai
there has been this year. 1t is impos
sble to interrupt a rise of prices with
out causing some unsettlement in bust
ness. When prices are rising people
overbuy, anticipate future wants, store
up raw materials. hire labor away from
each other, build extensions, etc, and
when prices begin to fall they abstain
from buying, deplete their stocks, make
goods only on order and cut down ex-
penses. The former is a more eXhila-
rating state of business than the latter,
but sensible people know that prices
cannot be always advancing.
"The persons who are claiming that
the curtailment Of credit will inter
fere with production should take notice
that the great rise of loans last year
did not increase production. A year
ago the makers of goods were not So
Letting orders; they had their travel
ing men at home, and their activities in
selling goods were confined to appor-
tioning their products among clamorous
buyers. The effect of the abundance
of credit was to enable buyers to COM
pete freely with each other for ma
terial and goods. Instead of increasing
production it drove up prices. Pro
duction can go on as we'll on one level
of prices as another when conditions
are settled"
