Republican Record
in Humanity's Cause

wASHIN TON. Aug. 2o.-The
honor OF the United States is not in
the custody of the Democratic party
declares the Republican Publicity As
sociation. through its president. Hon.
Jonathan Bourne. Jr.. in the following
statement from its Washington head
quarters:
Judging by President Wilson's ex.
pressed solieiiude for the honor OF the
United States In its relations with the
rest of the world-his declaration that
II would be violation OF the nations
honor to refuse to enter the League OF
Nations-one would think that the
honor OF the United States is in the
special custody OF the Democratic
party and of Woodrow Wilson himself
since he has been for seven years the
mind and heart and soul of the Demo
cratic organization, But a review OF
the past fails TO justify the inference
The United States has never failed TO
perform either its legal or its moral
oblisations when Repub leans were in
power All the republics of the West
ern hemisphere were accorded fun
protection under an aggressive en-
forcement of the Monroe doctrine. and
when Spain by long period of oppres-
sion OF the Cubans rendered patience
no longer a virtue the United States
accepted the white mans burden
and not only gave Cuba her freedom
but wrested the Philippines from the
hands OF their oppressors and prom.
ised them ultimate independence
when their intellectual and political
development shall make such inde.
pendence wise.
''under a Republican administration
Cuba was freed from pestiience on
the one hand and anarchistIc revolu.
tion on the other. In proportion to its
population the Cuban republic is TO-
day one of the most prosperous aud
happy on the face of the globe. The
people of the Philippines were neve.
better governed; never more safe In
life, liberty and the pursuit OF happi-
ness: never justified in stronger
hopes for splendid future--and for
this the Filipinos may well be grateful
to Republican administration which
rejected the Democratic proposal TO
set the Philippines free where they
would be the victims OF constant rev.
oiution within and aggressions Of sell
ash interests from without.

his way up to the ladder until he has

quantity Of the attributes which serve
to make able presidents, he could not
have attained his past success.
His business sense aud judgment
are particularly impressive. X elect
ed, he will place the United States
the greatest corporation in the world
upon a strict business basis. We
shall be able to say again that our ex-
penditures are within our income.
Above all, Harding is an American.
His love for home and country comes
nrst. Let 1t mot be understood that
he has no compassion for the human
ity OF the world Such is not the
case In considering a visionary and
impractical scheme for a League OF
Nations. however. he realizes that the
United States can not sacrifice every
thing which has served to make her
powerful. and still commend the
strength to lead the fight for human
ity and civilization throughout the
world which she has done in the past.

Facing The Facts
New York Tribune.

New York Tribune.
Two short years ago . League OF
Nations-powerful. efficient. victori-
GUS and founded on eternal principles
Of righteousness-was rescuing the
cry. This league. In its principal
members, consisted OF Great Britain.
Belgium. France. Italy. Japan and the
United States.
Only two short years ago. this
league-with dogged persistence and
Ut fearful sacrince-was pressing
back the German horde. Pulses leaped
~ the good news streamed in and
hope was reborn. Even Josephus
Daniels. pacifist as he always had
been. was quoted as declaring on two
occasions that be was going to Ber-
lin. there to witness unconditional
surrender by the enemy of mankind.
When the Germans sued for an ar
mistice every American man and
woman OF heroic fibre watchfully wait
ed for this answer to be given: "Un-
conditional and Immediate surrender" !"
Such was the answer expected by AL
peoples defending civilization. Ger
tAiniy II was expected by the Amer
ican people. Half the world was tot
tering ON the brink OF ruin. Russia
had disintegrated: her ignorant null
titudes. already seized with the mad
ness OF Boishevism. most assuredly
would endanger Europe unless con
fronted with league OF nations which
meant business-by a league based on
the principle that the peace winners
must be peace malntainers.
No word came from the White
House-no ringing. courageous word
such as Theodore Roosevelt would
have spoken. II II had come Bolshev-
ism would not have dared to venture
beyond the boundaries OF districted
Russia: Armenia would have been
spared further massacres by Turks;
revolutionaries everywhere would
have fed TO save their own skins.
The world listened for that word.
but listened In vain. This must De
"a peace without victory"-God save
rs!
Today are seen the sickeniEg re-
suits: France and England and they
must send armies TO Poland II Cen
trail Europe is to stamp out anarchy
which. unchecked. soon may menace
them at home: the Near East In a tur-
mol OF fighting and ominous clouds
gathering in the Far East.
Once more the world listens for a
word to come out of America.
Is there any one at Washington
with authority TO speak who possesses
enough common horse-sense to see the
situation In its naked TRUTH Enough
character TO xrapple with IL?
Is there. in the entire administra-
ton. no one strong enough to face the

BY HERBERT COREY.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 15.-
James NJ. Cox was first elected to
Congress by the votes of his friends
and of the old soldiers of the Soldiers
Home. Every one knew him. most
liked him, and he had the following
that a young, clean and forceful
youngster usually has. But he might
not have been reelected If his eye
had not alighted one day upon an
item in the appropriation bill Tor the
feeding of animals at the National
Geological Park in Washington. II
was a republican Appropriation Dill
and Cox is democrat.
THE cost of this food is outra-
geous." he said in one OF his prler
speeches.
What do you know about it?" his
opponents asked, sneeringly. The
cost of food is going up everywhere.
Being democrat you would try to
reduce the farmers profits.
Got Funds for Soldiers.
Representative James NJ. Cox got
angry. He began study OF 1000
costs. in the course of Whlch ne
learned that the cost of feeding
monkey was more than that of feed
ing a veteran of the civil war. That
was enough. He played that single
string upon his harp until the menu
bers of the appropriation committee
compromised with him-not pe1ne
legally able to kill him-and every
old soldier in every old soldiers home
looked upon him as the one friend
the old soldiers had in the rising
generation.
He got $25o.00o more appropriated
to feed the old soldiers" said a COM
mentator of the day. but he did not
interfere with the monkeys
To which CoX's reply was that the
monkey food was really worth all 1t
cost AT this time he was. perhaps,
as poor a public speaker as ONO mas
ever known-the average Ohio public
man being afflicted with, an itch for
oratory and being quite unable to de-
mand more gravy for his sausages
right hand in his vest. But Cox was
a phenomenally and atrociously poor
speaker He and his friends remem-
Der with humiliation the first speeches
he made, in which his grammar sank
without bubbles, his voice capered
sidewise through the gamut, and he
formed the habit of sitting down
cause he was utterly unable to go on.
No Epigrams or PerOrations.
"But there was one thing about
Jimmy's speeches" his hearers OF
those days recall. He always had
something to say. If he could stay
on his feet long enough and his voice
did not run out on him he said some
thing to remember. Nothing elo-
quent, you know-no epigrams or per-
orations. But he was a stemwinder
when it came to setting hard facts
before u.s.
His talks of today recall the old

HARDING DEMOCRATS
HEAR COP. ARGUMENTS
James S. Mccarthy, at Rally, Says
Cox Is Only League
Spokesman.

Describing Gov. Cox as nothing
more than the spokesman of Presi-
dent Wilson. "chief champion of
| British world empire" James S. Nc
Carthy of Mississippi. recently with
the United States Railroad Admins
tration, addressed a large gathering
of former democrats at a rally last
night of the Harding Democratic Club
at sol E street.
Born and reared in a never-chang-
ing democratic state" said Mr.. Me-
Carthy. Il have consistently support

party. both state and national, since
1891. but 1 have come to the parting
of the ways. It is hard to desert
the old party. but when that party,

founder. Thomas Jefferson. -espouses

tions. I cannot longer follow its
standard"
Ridicules Suffrage Claim.
Mr.. Mccarthy ridiculed the claim
of the democratic party that 1t
was responsible for women having
the vote. He said that while serving
Mississippi he watched deputation

who considered them "a joke"
Patr1ck j. Ryan, vice president of
the organization. presided, and after
telling of the rapid growth of the To-
cal club, introduced Mrs Mary Realty
Clagett, who made a strong appeal to
the woman voters of the club to ex-
ercise their right to the franchise,
and for those who were ineligible to
the ballot to do all in their power to
persuade voters to act.
Mrs. Clagett won much applause
when she said that expediency alone
was the cause for President Wilson
becoming such a strong advocate of
woman's suffrage.
Until 1916. when he saw that the
amendment was inevitable. his one
reply to our many appeals was it

she said.

Joseph Y. Reeves and William A.
Coombe confined their addresses en-
tirely to denouncing the league of ma

Henry NJ Camp. state director of

dleton. His baptismal name was
James Monroe Cox, the Monroe being
President Monroe of the United
States. for whom his mother felt q
real admiration. But he always sign
ed himself James M. Cox in the blunt
middle west fashion, which deprecated
any undue prominence being given to
third name. James Monroe Cox
would have entered politics under
handicap, and ]. Monroe Cox would
never have been heard Of in southern
Ohio.
How Cox Was Rechristened.
After he began to rattle dry bones
in Congress. however, in his unorator-
ical but efficient way, James W.
Faulkner, the political writer of the
Cincinnati Enquirer, began to refer
to him as James Middletown Cox.
That's wrong" some proofreader
said to himself one night. That's a
funny bull for Faulkner to make. He'd
oughta know better. The mans name
is Middleton, of course. Jim just had
the town name in his mind when he
wrote it."
So, like many another quaint quip
of journalistic genius. it was defeat
ed by proofreader's cant toward a
deadly and dusty accuracy. Cox be-
came James Middleton Cox to stay.
Faulkner struggled against the tide
for a time, but the proofreaders were
strong for him. Jimmy Cox had been
rechriStened.
