The hard, cold fact is that Article ~

dead. 1t died when the American
people intelligently realized It's con
tents. 1t died again when the fresi-
dent beat the treaty. 1t dled once
more this week in Poland when there
was refusal to protect Poland from
invasion. Why talk of guaranteeing
all boundaries when Polanos are
pierced and there is but wordy pro-
test?
There is. however, one suoJec'
upon which the American people
have been waiting to hear the Secre-
tary speak-frankly. fearlessly, I'M
reservedly. His address need not
consume more than five minutes OF
time. He could utter it in any city
or village or country crossroads In

To Command the instant and serl-
Gus attention of 1O0.000.000 Ameri-

permitted the Stacker Bergdpll to

Everybody Getting Dizzy?

Governor Cox is distributing him
self with celebrity: speed laws are not
permitted to interfere-in Ohio.
Cnquestionably ne is making very
nimble efforts to affiX the adjective
'pepfur' to his campaign. although
as a newspaperman he must realize
the possibility of n typographical
mistake and 'popful" being substitute
ed as more appropriate. All will ad-
NIT he is not at a loss for words; he
is sowing them broadcast and it is
possible curious persons may pick
some of them up and examine them
after they are properly cooled.
This being Johnny on the spot in
so many different spots at one and
the same time requires agility. and
the vicissitudes of such SUGGESTIONS
are many, nevertheless there doubt
less are those who will yield admira-
ton to their bewilderment, and yet
others who will recall that Bryan
talked every other orator off the map
Of North America and failed to reach
the goal A wisp of whirling wind

ny day is not cyclonic. and we feel
assured that james Middleton Cox is
not cyclonic; nor is he Bryan. and it
win be several years before he lives
down what Bryan said about him, if
ever. But just now he contributes a
semblance of animation to the DEM
ocratic campaign and raises sufficient
dust to screen in some degree the
glaring -incompetency, wilful and all
kinds of waste, which after all are
enough to drive any administra-
ton into desuetude.
He is telling US that only by means
Of the Wilson covenant may the
world be saved from war, and then
comes the message from Tennessee
and he jumps to his feet shouting
that the world is now as good as
saved. because the mothers Of
America have a voice now in saying
when war shall or shall not be-"
Surely not If, according to the Will
son covenant, it shall be left to a SUI

obligatory for this country to 60 to

laughter at his back then the days Of

Watching Maine Women.

tboStOn transcript
AS the first State called upon to act
under the provisions Of the Nine
teenth Amendment. Maine will be
closely watched by the people and the
officials of many other states. What
is done there in arranging for the ap-
pearance of the women at the polls
may be of assistance elsewhere. More
than that. the size of the women's
vote and its effect upon the general
outcome of the election as nearly as
that can be ascertained. will be re-
sarded as having distinct bearing
upon the result in November. In the
state itself. the Importance of the part
TO be played by the women has been
recognized by leaders of both political
parties. Women are associated with
campaign committees, and much work
mas been done in anticipation of the
iatlncation of the amendment.
That is the proper course not ONLY
from a party standpoint. but from the
broader viewpoint OF sound public
policy.
