try; the hundreds of thousands of re-
publicans who are refusing approval
to the nomination of the reactionary
Harding will flock to his standard
will cast their ballots for Mr.. Cox. Al
least seventy five per cent of the wo-
men of the country will vote for the
democratic nominee, and there are
the most substantial reasons for be-
lieving that Mr.. Harding will make
a race almost as disastrous as that
of Mr.. Taft In 1912.
James Middleton Cox was three
times governor of Ohio-an honor en-
joyed by only one other Ohioan, Ruth
ford B. Hayes.
Born on farm, educated in the
public schools, a printers devil, a
school teacher, newspaper reporter,
a private secretary to congressman,
owne, manager and proprietor of two
newspapers, member of congress for
three years and three times governor
of his state is his record to date.
Business success paralleled his po-
litical achievements and through his
own efforts Cox has ammassed for
tune. Mr.. Cox became the leader OF
the democratic party in Ohio in 1912
when he was nominated for governor.
l. L, rrIt
es in the state constitution, he TOOK
the field in it's behalf. His first term
as governor was devoted chiefly to
the enactment of laws to
put the new state constitution into
effect.
But Ohio evidently was not pre-
pared to assimilate all the new laws
for Cox was defeated for reelection.
But his party renominated him In
1918, being the only democrat to win
in Ohio.
LEGISLATION for which Governor Cox
is best known includes model work
mems compensation law and a child
labor law which have been extensively
copied by other states. Educators OF
the country say the Ohio school code,
enacted under Governor Cox's direc-
ton, will live as a monument to his
achievements.
Mr.. Cox was born in Butler county,
Ohio, in 1870. He attended district
school and held his first position as
as teacher of the school in which he
,ook his first lessons. He spent eve
lings and holidays in printing office
IN few years he received his first
on the reportorial staff of
he Cincinnati Enquirer.
After 10 years with the Enquirer,
lie went to Washington as private |
secretary to Congressman Paul Sorg |
If Ohio. At the close of this service, |
lie purchased the Dayton Daily News,
borrowing most of the money to pay |
or it. Later he purchased the Spring
ield Daily News. He was first elected |
o congress in 1908.

acksonburg upon which he was born,

at some place where a former Ameri-
can soldier is publicly expressing his
opinion of the French woman as "all
bad" These men. like our Colonel
Reik. have judged the entire nation
by an element that they were too
willing to find. Before my particular
unit was in action I had a very good
opportunity to study the American
soldier from NJ. P's viewpoint /
noticed that some of these men, who
usually arrived in town for a few
hours, would take great pains to find
out where the "off limits" places
were. Not all OF them. Just a small
number who never tried to learn any
more of the French language than
was necessary to get them into trou-
BILE or the brig" These same men,
by their ow-mindedness, are max
ing II very unpleasant for thousands
OF other Yanks who tried, by acting
like real Americans, to find a better
class of the French people.

U. S. Chamber of Commerce
Pleads for District Suffrage
By BILL PRIC Il.

When powerful organization like the United States

Columbia Is significantly hopeful TO people who have
sincerely promised themselves to relnqush their
efforts until Amercanizaton of the Federal Capital takes
place.
Our fight for home rule through the ballot will be won

act When American people get it well fixed in their heads
that half million citizens in Washington are denied suf
frage rights there will be quick change in Congressional
sentiment And the States slowly becoming of
UNJUST and undemocrac discrimination hagranty
repulslve TO every fundamental principle of freedom Var
influential national organizations have taken up our
cause, and many newspapers comment edtoriay the
extraordinary situation in the Federal Capital.
We must continue to educate the outside for the indu-
ence it will exert upon the inside will take money and
hard work to do this; intelligent direction of campaign

The situation in Congress is favorable suffrage
than before and would be still favorable there
could be absolute unity among local organizations

tell citizens that division ranks does not forecast
immediate success.
One element stands for representation in Senate House.

Senate will not consent to two Senators in that body
whose vote" will be important there the votes of the
Senators from the great States of New York. Pennsylvania

Collect Interest and Pay Bonus,
To the Editor OF THE TIMES

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
Don't you think il would be good
policy for the United states to collect
at least a part of the interest due her
from England and disburse II among
the World War veterans, and not only
those who participated in actual
fighting? AS i understand England
will not pay interest to the United
states now, but will scatter the pay
ments OF the same over period Of
years.
Il am an ex-service man, having
served a cruise in the Navy, and /.
like many others, do not want the
United States Government to think
that 1t is giving me something
it is not. 1t would be merely
paying me what has been rightfully
earned. We (eX-service mem do not
want a donation or the Government
to think 1t is giving us a hand out.

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
The "Okapi" was discovered in
1901 in the depths of the Congo
forest" II is believed t. be most
nearly allied to some extinct fossil
forms found in Greece and India. The
reason for the late discovery was
mostly due to the inaccessible regions
which they inhabited, and not so much
because OF their natural camouhage.
Tho natives were familiar with the
many years before white
man had courage enough to enter the
little known Congo region.
