IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

| Cedar Rapids Republican: Mr..
Kendall will make brilliant speaking
campaign and he will be elected by
more than the usual Iowa republican
ma ority He will be elected and he
will make a good governor-he ought
to make one of the best in the history
of the state.
Marshalltown Times Republican
That convention was so much to the
taste of the delegates that most OF
them favor a change in the primary
law which will afford opportunity for
more good, old fashioned, fighting
conventions like we used to have
before the war"
Waterloo Times-Tribune: The
further fact that the convention did
not nominate the high men in the
primaries is evidence that the pri-
mary law, from the party workers
standpoint, is a failure.

from this angle the decision of this
railway labor board was both gener-
Gus and fair to the workers and TO
the public. It establishes the wages
for railway men far above those Of
any other country in the world and
far above any previous scale in this
industry in this country.

TAKE NO MORE CHANCES.

| In a time when questions OF great moment
were pressing for decision in national affairs, 1t
/ was expected that ready communication be-
tween the legislative and executive branches OF
| tie government would be easily maintained
1t was time of crisis. But when a senator had
reason to see the president, or any other &C
credited official of the government called OF ne
icassity at the white house, it was Mr.. Tumulty,
the presidents secretary, who was met; when
the secretary of state spoke it after consul
tation with Mr. Tumulty; when matter OF
prime Importance to national policy was under
discussion, a representative of a senate COM
imittee saw the secretary of state although his
errand was plainly with the president. All
this was owing to the admitted disability of the
chief magistrate. The effect of such cause
should not be permitted to obtrude again in the
affairs of this nation.
What is disability Anyone with common
sense knows what it is judged to be in business
and the management of private enterprises Is
it something other in managing the affairs of
the nation?
1t has been clearly within the province Of
congress for the past one hundred and thirty
years to provide course of procedure which
can be invoked whenever the circumstances are
held to warrant it; nor is there room to doubt
that the duty of doing this has been imposed on
the legislative branch whenever the public in
forests were suffering or likely to suffer through
the illness, absence from the country or inca
pacity of chief executive to exercise his of
fee AS the need for action was not forced upon
it, congress neglected to act, just as it delayed
for century to establish the presidential sue
cession But with recent events in mind, the
urgent need is perceived of preparing in adj
vance for contingencies ever likely to occur, and
attempt should be made at the coming session
o. the new congress to provide method of pro-
cedure to be followed whenever inability is ap.
parent or declared to exist.

Heat-the tubes enemy
and the tube that 0uercon1es it

THE one aim of Firestone in building
l tubes has been to defeat this tube
destroyer by increasing heat resistance.
Firestone's concentrated effort through
the anthony process method by
which heat-resisting power Of the rubber
is increased and deterioration reduced
has resulted in the Firestone High Test
Tube-a tube that parallels the quality
and service of the Firestone Oversize
Cord Tire.
Fiestone builds this Highest Tube
bigger in sectional size, which avoids un-
necessary stretch and strain when the
tube is inflated. Heat-generating tension
is therefore reduced.

.Shoaling in important reaches OF the
channel OF the Delaware river, by which

been lessened by five to six feet, Is the
subject Of a report just made by the Unit
ed States Army Engineers Office, whlchls IN
charge of maintaining the channel. Colo
mel ". b. Lague is the officer in command.
The Deep Water Point range is being
dug out again from twenty-nine feet to a
depth of thirty feet, by one OF two MAIN
tenance dredges. The other dredge is
engaged on the Liston range, at the en-
trance to the channel, which never has
been deeper than thirty feet, and now is
only 2S.6 feet.
4 third dredge, which might be used,
providing congress had not cut down
the appropriation asked for the current
wear, from 50, 100000 to S600,OO0, can
not be put in service because there is not
sufficient paraphernalia to go with 1T,
according to the engineers.
Effort has been made to keep the
channels at least thirty feet deep. This
has been successful except for short
shoal with minimum depth of twenty
nine feet at the intersection OF hcllevue
and Cherry island ranges, with thirty
feet of water to the east of the center line; /;

cox PROMISES TO
MAKE REVELATIONS
Nominee Says He Will Tell To-
night Some Things About
G. o. p. Doodle Fund.

En- Route with Governor Cox, Aug
Ex-Governor Cox today was travelling
toward Pittsburg to- deliver an address
close ample evidence providing his charges
of a Republican corruption fund ex'
ceeding sis, 100000.
At Evansville, Ind, he made three
addresses Yesterday reiterating and am.
plifying his charges and declaring he had
.the goods to convict every mothers
SON of the Republican leaders.
On his special car today,he planned 10
prepare tonight's address from his breast
pocket collection OF papers said to con-
tain convincing proof OF his charges.
After his address at Pittsburg he was to
leave at midnight for New Haven, Conn,
where he will attend a shore dinner
tomorrow afternoon and make another
evening address.
His route today took hin through In
dianapolis, DAYTON, his home, and Col
lumbus where additional friends were to
ioin the train. To accommodate the en-
larging party second car was added to
the train.
Evansville, Ind, Aug. 26.-Governor
Cox made the fiat announcement here yes
tcrday that he was ready TO produce
evidence in his speech at Pittsburg to-
night to back up his charges that the
Republican party was raising campaign
fund of not less than sl5,OOO,OW.
"You know what my charges nave
seen," ,he declared. You know what
reply Chairman Hays and his associates
have given. ask YOU to wait only until
tomorrow night, when | will produce
evidence that will convict every mother
son of them, the evidence Of deliberate
plot and conspiracy to buy the Presl-
dency of the United Statesl-but 1t can
be done.
Old politicaI observers in Indiana said
that in their memory there had never
been anything in the shpae of popular
demonstrations TO equal the receptions
which Governor Cox faced yesterday IN
Princeton and Evansville. In Princeton,
where the governor made his first adj
dress. il seemed that the whole country
side turned out TO see him.
At the conclusion of his address at the
fair grounds in Princeton, Governor
Cox was DELAYED for some time by the
crowds which massed about his auto
mobile. Men and women jumped upon
the running board of the machine to
shake hands.
Princeton is country town of 5000
population and Governor Cox had ex-
pected to have a quiet time OF It there
and deliver short address. But he
discovered quickly that he was TO face
other conditions. A parade had been
arranged and il was the biggest and
longest parade Princeton had ever wit
messed. The governor rode at the head
of it TO the reviewing stand and then
stood for more than half IN hour while
the marchers and automobiles passed IN
review.
Here in Evansville Governor Cox stirred
his hearers 10 enthusiasm by asking
them to come out and listen TO Senator
Harding in the event he should 60 cam
paigning. There was note of irony in
his voice as he said:
If the front porch embargo IS lifted
and the policies of the Senate are to be
explained in this State, | ask YOU most
respectfully to come out here and give
the other candidate an opportunity to
be heard
At another point Governor Cox said

country boy and knew what it was to
have stone bruises on both feet. And |
thank God above all other blessings he
added, that my experience in life has
enabled me to know what the under
man has to endure"
In his addresses this afternoon and'to-
night, Governor Cox began with an at
tack on the front porch campaign Of the
Republican candidate.
There are many reasons why ! should
como before you and why Others should
not come" he said ~ decline TO have
the Senate oligarchy prepare my speeches
for me and make my expressions as mean
ingless and unrespensive as phonograph
record itself, and believe that any man
will make better President if he visits
with his people in all parts Of the country
and puts his ear. close to the heartbcats
OF his people"
Governor Cox then attacked the Re-
publican nominee ard leaders for their
position in regard To a separate peace
with Germany.
Il can't find soldier boy in Indiana
butregards it as dishonorable, he said.
Referring to reservations to the League
of Nations, Governor Cox said.
we Will accept any auultlonS when
are calculated to work for world peace,
and we will reject any which are calculated
to work an injury or harm to the peace of
the world

said that the Republicans had been unable
