Governor Cox Proves
 an Able Campaigner
* # +

7F Governor Cox wins or loses the
 election next Tuesday, he will have the consolation of knowing that he has made one of the most gallant f;ohts in the history of American politics.
 The American people love fight CT. as many observers of our national trials have remarked. Governor Cox has conducted a campaign which has not only been a severe test of his physical endurance, but proved him to be a man of great mental alertness, with unlimited courage. He went out to the people, meeting them frankly and giving them every opportunity to find out what manner of man he is. They have found him sincere and intensely human. The applause he received, even in republican etrongholds, was a tribute to his magnetic qualities.
 With an inadequate campaign fund and, until recently, almost single handed, Governor Cox succeeded in putting the republicans on the de- fensive. Snug assurance has given way to serious alarm, and while the republicans are still confident of vic tory, they realize that the tide has set toward the democratic standard. Were the campaign to continue anoth- CT thirty days, provided the Ameri- can voter did not grow weary of it, Cox would continue to make the as- tonishing gains which have charac- terized the closing weeks of his cam paign.
 The American people will be called on next Tuesday, not to punish Presi- dent Wilson and his administration, or to vindicate the President and all his works, but to decide at the polls whether America shall go into the League of Nations or stay out. There are other issues, but none that ap- breaches the League of Nations in its importance to- America and to the world
 A righteous cause and a presiden- tial candidate who has fought so ably for the principles of his party ana for humanity. deserves to win.

Let's Have a Year
 of the Amenities

N0TOULD it not be a good thing wv for the entire community, public officials, civic organizations, men, women and children to celebrate the coming of Thanksgiving Day by resolving to devote next year to the amenities of life?
 Why not begin this very day by decorating more lavishly than we have done for the football game? We should make Birmingham the football center of the south. Young men should come here for the annual test of their college elevens. We should cultivate such a spirit for clean sports that stadium to stage these events will be built.
 Why not have the development of our park system made the regular or der of business? No better start could be made than by the establish ment of city park board, whose spe- cial duty it would be to plan the best of these parks for the greatest good of the greatest number of people.
 We should not allow the new audi torium enthusiasm to grow less. The want is more intensely realized than it has been since the project was first formulated. Our ardor should not cool until the auditorium is a fact and people assemble there for com

From the. Philadelphia Inquirer. Elinor Glyn's ''superman' must be as chivalrous as Bayard, zas strong as

There is more truth than poetry Tn the saying that nobody loves a fat man" said Ed Ahrens yesterday, and there is reason for the unpop- ularity of the obese individual. Sat- urday afternoon I boarded street car headed for the balloon races. The car was so crowded that I hesitated about trying to get on, but as the hour was late I thought that it would be better to forego comfort for the sake of time called myself lucky after having squeezed in the car and braced my such thing as getting close to a strap for support. To my disgust, at the next corner a. woman with nine cnil- dren got on the car. This addition to our party surpa ssed the proverbial sardine can. But to cap the climax at the next stop a man, who must nave weighed al least $50 pounds. was walt ing for the car. With so-inch waistband forming an advance guard, his smiling face hove in the doorway There was no withstanding the awful pressure. The people gave way before the awful, amount of flesh.
 "He was the only man in the car who looked happy. smile of con tent seemed to cross his face as he saw the discomfort of the others. That of course. is the privilege of a fat man, but he has no right to expect people to love him
