that he Is wet at heart. And even those
closest to him do not seem to know whether
he Is wet or dry In that highly important
place.
Give MIR. Cox any old echo Of partisan
propaganda and he will make 1t orchestral.
But do not ask him to talk of practical
affairs in language that any one can under
stand.
Every one is disposed to feel nowadays
that the campaign is disappointment. Yet
with all the faults that weaken Mr.. Cox and
the obvious shortcomings of the front porch
campaign. political discussion even now in
this country is kept upon n higher level than
ii attains anywhere else in the world.
Before weeping over the Democratic can
didatc it might be well for Americans to re-
member the campaign carried on by Lloyd
George throughout England Immediately
after the close of the war. The man who is
now premier of Britain said with dclibera-
tion hundred things that he did not mean
and made a thousand promises that he had
no means of carrli ing out.
In France there is little open discussion Of
political issues and newspapers do not know
the meaning of independent opinion. Here
we do occasionally find courageous and in
formed approach to the challenging facts
and an honorable effort among men of all
parties to put able minds completely in the
service of the nation.
Even in the routine campaigns the note
Of rigid partsanship is not now as con-
spicuous as it used to be. Mr. Cox has
revived it for the moment. lie is making
an old fashioned campaign of assaults and
phrases. 1t is to the credit of the Repub-
leans that they can make a patient effort
to find the simple truth and express 1t with
out an accompaniment of brass bands. That
sort of service is not always picturesque.
1t does not always get the applause of the
galleries. But II is a service that some men
in American public life must do now and
in the future If the nation is to be safely
guided in the wilderness Of dangers and per-
plexitics created by the war. To avoid that
duty and fill the air with the noise of mean
inglcss charges" as Mr. Cox has done. is
to affront the better intelligence of the whole

If there is a fault in the Harding method
Of approach to questions that acutely trouble
the country II Is, perhaps. the fault of too
great restraint. Any candidat" can make
promises which he does not intend to fulfill
Any man who has not the advantage of
knowledge and experience can tell the roun-
try that he knows all about Europe. all
about the part we should play in future
world affairs, all about the ends that we as
u nation should seek
Wiser men are likely TO know that, while
guiding principles are clear for the eyes Of
Americans. the methods by which they shall
be established are still debatable. They are
debatable because Of unexpected changes OF
front and mind among some of the older
governments. These are the realities of the
campaign. and Mr.. Cox Is apparently un-
aware that they exist.
Questions of industrial relations taxes
and of Irec speech represent the great un
settled problems of the hour at home
Harding doesn't presume to have a ready
solvent for every ache and i'll in the domestic
order, and for that it is necessary to admire
him.
Cox has no doubts. He knows He is
the fixrr with his tools in his hand. He
dsdains TO be a student Of affairs.
Neither of the candidates uttcrs the in o.
spring note that comes with an instructive
mastery of the truth. But the progress Of
the campaign has brought two personalities
into sharp contrast that Is by no means
favorable TO the Democrats.
Harding has trick of reticenee which
troubles some of his friends yet these
are not times when safe decisions can be
swiftly made. When Harding talks he talks

Fred Wilcox Mines Sold


Fred Wilcox. who for several
years has been developing@ group OF
mining claims i'll the Mt Grant dis
trict, about y miles southeast o the
Charlebois ranch, has disposed oil a
part OF his holdings Tor a sizeable
consideration to b. +. Lebanon and
N. II. Poeiman, OF San Francisco.
The deal was made in Yerington
this week. The claims show values
in gold and silver running as high as
$50 TO the ton. The ore occurs in a
contact OF granite and porphry, the
ledge showing on the surface for the
full length of the claims The new
owners are organizing company to
develop the ground and will immedi
atcly put four men to work.
The consideration has not been
made public, but it is presumed to be
a considerable figure. Mr.. Wilcox
has been the real pioneer in the de
velopment of this section o. the Was
suk range, being that portion west OF
Walker Lake, most difficult OF ac-
cess, but which is now being opened
by the Nevada State highway. For
several years he has been the only
human being i'll country as large as
the State OF Rhode Island, and is de-
serving of any success that comes to
him.

NOTHING is WRONG AT
STATE ORPHANS HOME

Complaints made to the directors
OF the state orphans home that the
inmates were underfed. insufficiently
clothed and subjected to unnecessary
severe punishment were described as
beng wholly without foundation OF
fact by State Treasurer Malley, one
of the homes directors in public
statement made today says the Ga
zette.
II have been constantly in close
contact with the orphans home here
and its management and know that
the complaints referred have been
common for years, and are common
to all charitable and corrective insti
tutions,' said Mr.. Malley They
usually grow out of exaggerated Cos
sip and upon investigation into the
conduct OF the home, and it will
probably interest some people to
know that Mr.. Cowing. the superin-
tendent Of the home requested it some
ime ago for tie purpose of meeting
some of the criticisms that has been
current here.
Instead of being neglected the
children of the home are being we'll
fed, well clothed. well educated and
not severely punished. 1t is absolute.
ly untrue that any of them have been
denied funds belonging to them and
so far as know no one has entered
such charge The record oi Mr..
Cowing as a banker and business
man should be sufficient o-silence in
advance any such complaint.
The directors of the home are sat
isfied with its management ard have
full confidence within its superin-
tendent and matron"

ARE SLOW TO
ACCEPT BUDDHISM
, People of Japan Loath 10 Embrace
Faith That Is Introduced
Into the Country BY
Korea.

Buddhism was introduced into japan
by Korea In the year 552. II was first
embraced by the higher classes. partic'
ularly In scholarly circles. but the
lower classes still clung 10 their old
faith OF Shintoism. The doctrines OF
Buddhism were written In the Chinese
language and the believers offered
their prayers In that tongue.
At one time Buddhism made such
strides as 10 become the state religion
In Japan. but the people still opposed
II with n determination of upholdlng
their own Shintolsnl. until the states
men and priests invented an ingenious
way Of explaining and interpreting the
religious principles Of Buddhism.
They adopted the theory OF monothe'
ism as well as poIythelsm by saying
that there Is only one supreme power
which Is personified In the form %
various gods and goddesscs. according
to the different countries and different
institutions.
The principles OF buddhism and
Shinfoism were thus reconciled and
in order 10 convince the popular mind
Of This theory. Emperor Shomu pa
