Plagued with suspicion IL to his real
stand and sentiments. Gov. Cox at
tempted to play both sides. and lost
both.
Another is the candidates stumping
tone and manner. He was audacious.
entertaining and clever at handling
hecklers. but not presidential. The
right note was lacking.
In the light Of the returns. however.
does. not Mr.. Moore's explanation
cover the case? Tired Of democratic
control. the people concerted. and
acted. And the statement seems rea-
sonable that they were ready to act
at any time in the campaign as they
did act at the close. True. in the last
fortnight of the contest, there was re-
port of "a drift to Cox" Where did
the drift start? How far did it get?
Who. or what. stopped it?
Mr.. Moore is not only clever poll
tician. but a man of humor. He can
pack a good deal into few words.

Divided Responsibility.

Every available report on the status
of American railroads emphasizes the
fact that those in immediate control
of the destinies of the roads are work

ward the end of bringing our trans
portatiou systems to that high point
of efficient service demanded by the
ing and loading freight has been
raised to a peak hitherto unohtsinable
and a still higher level is sought The
tonic. effects of the recent rate IN
crease are already being evidenced in
improved s:ervice all along tho line
The roads. starved during the period

Any income to buy new or even to
keep UP existing equipment. are doing
their bit in the formida bile task which
confronted them when government
control was ended.
Yet the efforts of the roads. unsup-
ported by the cooperation of the Vari-
Gus economic elements whose interests
are. closely associated with those OF
the roads. cannot approach complete
Accomplishment. Millions piled upon
millions Of dollars are needed for the
purchase Of new equipment and the
of old. The rate in
crease places no such lump sum at
the disposal of the roads. BY that
increase the roads were merely given
a chance to make a fair living. to
insure moderate dividends to their in
Nestors. and thus to attract new CAPT.

swift progress of the roads toward

one Of criticism and protest alone. A
definite responsibility rests upon 1t al
well as upon the roads themselves to

Shippers or receivers of freight can
aid by speedy loading and unloading.

FILING FOR OFFICE

The time is drawing near when all
candidates for county and precinct
offices must have their names fleo
in order that they may appear on the
ballot. and in order that none may
overlook the fact attention is again
called to the fact that Secretary Wal
ter Thompson of the county electioh
board says that Saturday July o.
Mt midnight, is the last hour that any
name NAV be inscribed on the record
under the law.
The books are open at the estapiish'
ment of Thompson and WllKerson
where all candidates may call ana
file for the different offices for when
they are generally running. Failure 20
do so will eliminate their name from
the ballot.
Filing closes thirty days before the
election. in order to give time 10
properly prepare the ballots, ana the
election board urges that no one over
look the fact that they must Volua
tari,v come forward and register their
names if they want to be in the game
to the end.

result that they were out all their er
