A CAMPAIGN CONTRAST.

To the eXXtent that Candidate Cox
can divert public attention from the
things that Candidate Cox stands for
and typifies-Wilsonism and the like
Candidate Cox scores.
He scored momentarily when he
made the brazen, preposterous charge
that the Republican party had set out
to raise a slush fund of $4,000, 900 to
buy the Presidency.
Big newspapers gave him scare
headlines and those favoring his can
didacy made the most of the mounte-
bank performance.
But the sensation was too empty to
endure>
Confronted by cold facts, the utter
falsity of the cutlery was quickly es-
tablished, and Candidate Cox, reveal
ed in his cheap guise as a monger of
untruths, simultaneously stood eX-
posed as "a pronounced wet" Thus is
he depicted and characterized by the
New Jersey Liquor Dealers Associ-
alton in an appeal for funds to help
elect Cox President!
Scoring as he did, temporarily
shielding himself, for the moment,
from the blight Of wisconsin, while
Boss Murphy chuckled and Boss Bren-
nan grinned and Boss Taggart winked
the other eye-Candidate Cox, in the
end, has only succeeded in awakening
and stimulating interest in the cam
paign. And this awakened and slim
ulated interest will assuredly make
the Republican victory in November
all the more overwhelming and COM
plete!
What contrast is presented as to
candidates!
Warren G. Harding, in the becoming
and dignifed role BETTING a candi-
date for President of the greatest Re-
public on earth-not in the tawdry
guise of transforming aspirant for
a seat in a town council or on a board
of aldermen-is devoting his time to
real problemc of the day, domestic and
International, and, with notable
speeches of a constructive character,
commanding the respectful attention
OF his countrymen and the world as
well.
Verily-the contrast is striking in
deed and, moreover, resounds to the
credit and glory of the party of Lin
coin, Mckinley and RooSevelt-the G.

A GOOD TIME TO REPEAL Ii.

Whether Attorney General Arm
strong holds that the declaration of
intention" act applies to women vot-
ers or not, the sensible thing for the
Democratic party to do at the special
session of the Legislature is to wipe
1t off the books. If further proof
were needed that its main purpose
is devilment, a survival of the old
Democratic State organizations pro-
pensity to play tricks with the cleo
ton laws, it is furnished by the differ
ence OF opinion that exists now among
the party leaders as to whether f
helps or hurts the party. The News
has always believed that it deprived
as many Democrats as Republicans
OF votes. 1t has wished to see the
State rid of it because it puts in the
way OF newcomers here an unneces-
sary obsticle to registration, one with
which they are unfamiliar, disgusts
many of them with our politics. serves
no good purpose and is retained chief
ly through perversity.
Shrewd politicians are often any,
thing but shrewd A great many new
voters are now going on the pooling
lists. Good politics should prompt
the majority party in Maryland to
put its best foot foremost, to discard
its bad habits, one of them an incur
able disposition to seek unfair adj
vantage through manipulation of the
election laws. This is a good time to
begin that reform, and repeal of the
declaration of intention" act would
be a welcome sign of regeneration

FINDS MARYLAND DRIFTING
TO HARDING FOR PRESIDENT
Current Toward G.. o. p. Running
Strong, Finds An Investigator

The following story appearing
in Mondays New York Sun-Her-
aid, was written by a staff CORES
pondent who is investigating po-
litical conditions in Maryland.
The Republican current is running
strongly in Maryland. If the election
could be held today Harding would
carry the State handily and o. E.
Weller-"Good Roads" Weller of this
city-would capture the United States
Senate seat of John Walter Smith.
This from Republican standpoint
happy situation can be maintained
straight up to and over election day
if the Republican campaign managers
work vigorously and intelligently
and with some special regard for the
feelings and attitude of the people of
this border state.
The electoral vote is waiting for
Senator Harding and the Senate seat
is ready for Mr.. Weller if the right
sort of campaign is made, a campaign
of information, education and dignity.
Like prohibition, Maryland's dispo-
sition to turn Republican has been in
tensifying and solidifying for years.
Although picket fence of the Solid
South, the State has displayed ep-
thusiasm for Republican policies and
candidates on numerous occasions in
the last 80 years. Over that sweep of
campaigns nationally Maryland has
been found either entirely within the
Republican ranks or has split her
electoral vote for the benefit of the
Republican candidate.
Mckinley carried Maryland by 3d.
600 in 1896. In 1900 Mckinley again
won Maryland by $4,000 In 1904,
Roosevelt split the electoral vote with
Parker, and in 1908 Taft split it with
Bryan. Even in the fatal election of
1912 the combined Roosevelt Taft vote
was 80 votes in excess of the Wilson
vote. In 1916 Wilson captured the
State, but the reasons were plain. The
Republican schism had not been closed
successfully and many Republicans
either did not vote at all, or cast their
votes for Wilson.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson; am a girl IA
years of age and have been with
several fellows. My chum goes with
a fellow and has gone with him for
some time. He would get a fellow to
take me home Just so he could take
my Chum home.
| do not care to go with one fellow
one night and another the next night.
What can do to avoid this?
SUSIE.
At the age of IA you should not be
going places with your girl friend at
night. Then you would not be put in
such position. You are too young to
go out evenings unless accompanied
by an older person.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | am a girl
nearly IS years of age, going with
fellow who went with another girl who
was friend of mine until went with
him. I have been going with him
NEARLY two months now and hear he
has been with her two or three times
since I started going with him.
Do you think I should quit going
with him and let him go with her, or
do you think I should keep on going
with him? He says he doesn't care
anything about her and tells me he
would rather go with me-
BLUE-EYED BLONDE.
Keep on going with him If you want
to and do not mention the other girl
to him. It may be hard to keep down

Bachelor Girl Sayings

Syndicate. 1nc)
Judging from the way in which the
modern divorce hastens from the
courtroom to the altar. apparently a
burnt child loves the fire.
The Widows might in these effete
days, is nearly all expended in trying
to appear as sophisticated and world
1y-wise as the average debutante.
When a woman wakes poetical. she
finds so little to rhapsodize about in
man that she goes straight to her
looking-glass for inspiration, and then
writes loye-songs to herself.
Summer fiction: Those long "1'm-
SO lonesome without you, wish you
were-here, am-thinl1ing-of-you- always"
letters that every mail train carries
from the city to the waiting wives at
the seashore.
A woman knows that she must be
good all the time; but a man seems
to fancy that ne can reform between
the last dose of medicine and the last
breath, and leave a bequest to his
cook or his grandmother and get as
much credit for it as though he had
worked" his way into heaven instead
of just paying" it.
There are only three things which
the scientists can't and the psychics
won't even try to explain in this mir
aculous age-death, hay fever and a
happy marriage.
In a filtration a woman never
knows what a man suspects about
her, and a man never even suspects
what a woman knows about him.
Life does not become actually dull
to any man until he loses his last
ounce of curiosity about women.
This is the time of year when only
the hardest flowers and flirtations
still survive the turbulent, torrid sea-
son.
In the Fall young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of-esca pc.

jealousy, but It would be most unwise
to show it, You have not exclusive
claim on his time unless you and he
are engaged.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am young
lady 10 years old and have girl chum
of 20. We are very devoted to each
other and are always together. We
have many nice friends, but we have
so many troublesome neighbors
around us that when our friends call
for US and the neighbors hear the car
stop they run to their windows or
doors to find out what can be seen.
They are very meddlesome and cause
US many unhappy moments.
We are nice respectable girls and
believe that we are old enough to have
company two or three times a week.
Please tell US if we should continue to
put UP with it, or tell them to mind
their own business.
Tiny AND PEP.
You are looking for trouble. Your
neighbors are curious and gossipy like
other human beings. They can do you
no harm, however, if your conduct is
above reproach. Be careful to go with
a good class of young men and to do
nothing you would not be willing TO
have your mother see you do.
Personally I disapprove OF motor
rides for young girls and young men
unless they are chaperoned. Such
rides have been the cause of many OF
the present day tragedies.
Say nothing to your neighoors. Let
them look if it gives them so much
pleasure.

: The Diary of an Engaged Girl

SO it can't be done. Maybe the Lord
will provide
Aunty and l went to the Cecil for
tea this afternoon, and we did see the
best looking men. If I hadn't been
feeling so blue about things l should
have f1irted for all I was worth-that
instinct dies hard in the very young:
Besides, what's The use of commence
ing any more affairs of the heart with
any man al all? 1t all leads to
misery, and so many disappcint-
ments.
Aunt Cecilc looked no end pretty;
quite took the shine from me, but ]
didn't care-I felt very old, broken,
and sophisticated today. Not so much
so now, as at tea time, for I've had a
good dinner and been resting all even
ing, and that does change ones point
of view about ones self quite consider
ably.
The music was lovely at the Cecil
and we fingered as long as we thought
proper over it. OF course the heart OF
my aunt is beating its gayest and
highest-and why not? HE is to ar
rive most any hour now. Woe is me,
that l should have to sit by and just
look on, while my own heart falls
lower and lower. I'll say it's hard
luck. Couldn't even work today, and
have been having my best time over
here, up to tie present, with my pen,
pencil and paper.
Had a nice long letter from Airline
Ludovci-yep, she's been having the
time of her l;fe honeymooning through
Italy and France with her new hus-
band, Vincenzo. Crazy about him, and
