Cox Straddles
Issue, Says New

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-Senator Har.
ry S. New, of Indiana, chairman Of
the republican campaign speakers
committee and member Of the senate
foreign relation scommittee in a sign
ed statement Saturday night declared
that Governor Cox in his speech OF
acceptance had devoted three col
umns to the league of nations, but
had straddled the real league issue"
Governor Cox is in the position
of holding fast to President Wilson
with one hand and reaching for the
public with the other" said the state
ment. He leaves entirely unanswer-
ed in his speech the main issue Of the
league--Article Ten--and no one
knows how he stands on it except by
interpreting his statement made after
the conference with President Will
son as meaning that he favors it..
Governor Cox must come out Clearly
in the campaign and say whether he
favors Article Ten, whether he fa-
vors sending American troops abroad,
for his speech Of acceptance is very
unsatisfactory on that point"

OUR SUPREME PROBLEM.

Every decrease in the price paid to farmers for food
stus will merely to hasten the day of food short
age acute to endanger the safety Of govern
ment
In lessened food supply may be Matched the egg q
revolution.
Every consumer who rejoces in reports of decrease
of prices paid the farmers for grain, cotton livestock
and dairy products will realize that his joy will b.
turned to mourning Cheap milk bread meats today
will merely mean smaller supply and famine prices
later ON.
The questions of the League of Nations Of soldiers
bounty of democratic or republican supremacy
soap bubbles blown by children compared with tht
mighty food supply question Heavy pay to industrial
workers and short hours of labor like great
nets drawing men and women from the farms to the
cities, increasing the number of food consumers
Economic forces will eventually push foodstuf high
that the pendulum swing back and force the people
from the cities the farms avoid starvation, but
the swing turns that way food scarcity and the msnfor
nation about it, may, unless we wise, wreck oul
government and our civilization.
This is the nations supreme problem. To its solution
the people must address themselves with full realza
ton of its import.

Congressman Johnson at Tacoma.
Details of the scheme, as outlined by
Mr.. Johnson, appear fantastic and

such information must be in the hands

Continue Probe
,sys
of Coal Prices

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Aug. o.
Warrants are soon to be issued for a
large number of coal operators and
dealers in East Tennessee, according
to statement made by U. S. District
Attorney w. T. Kennerly who stated
that investigations now under way in
the Knoxville and Chattanooga fields
had revealed the fact that scores Of
dealers and operators are profiteering
in coal. Gen. Kennerly said he was
unable to give the date the warrants
would be issued or the number of
men to be arrested.
The investigation now under way is
being made under orders received late
in July from Acknowledgement A..
Mitchell Palmer Fifteen Knoxville
operators and dealers have already
been arrested, and are awaiting hear
ings. While General Kennerly did not
FAY so. it was intimated by Others that
The number of new warrants to be is
sued will be greatly in excess of the
number already taken out, and may
total sixty. Chattanooga warrants
will be sworn out as soon as the evil
dence collected can be arranged for
that purpose. The investigation in
that district started simultaneously
with that in Knoxville.
A number of department of justice
agents are working on the investiga-
ton, which is revealing that coal has
been selling at many times over. the
cost Of production according to fig
ures gathered by the government from
the books of operators already search
ed for evidence. The government is
not depending entirely upon the books
of the operators themselves to Sc
cure evidence. The books of compa-
mics known to use large amounts Of
coal are being searched and are fur
nishing many of the clues which the
secret service agents are running
down.
Gen. Kennerly said he did not know
when the investigation would end.
II have year yet Of my term Of
office, and as long as these fellows
charge exhorbitant prices for coal
prosecutions will be brought" was
the answer he gave.
Persons in close touch with investi-
cations said that the most fragrant

no small part of its appeal can be
attributed to the attractiveness and

plane NC-4 in the National Museum
He did not 60 into any details as to the
proposed transatlantic flight.
