WOBBLING MIR. cox.

|" II the American people want wobbler for
president there can be no question as to the
superior fitness OF Mr.. Cox-for he has Sem
ator Harding distanced hopelessly.
In his letter OF acceptance Mr.. Cox explained
that no would permit two reservations In the
resolution ratifying the league. These reserva-
tions only made the obligations OF the United
States more certain and specific.
Then Mr.. Cox began u drive against the
ate oisarehy. II was he said, the peril of tho
nation. II he was elected he would tell that
senate where It stood and he would see that It
remained there. The crime OF all the ages had
been committed by the senate olgarchy In
fusing the wise and good man In the white house
the privilege to run this country according to
his unbridled Will; merge its nationality In
hodge-podge of international government.
You remember those first days of Septem-
Der! Jimmie imagined he could elect himself
by tearing down the senate, Nobody to
blame for anything except the senate oligarchy,
But James wobbed and on. and the other
day ne wobbled to the idea that it would he
a good thing to cali in some help to run the
universe when he got to be president. so he
told audience In New York that he would call
in the best minds OF hte country to advise him
naming MIR, Wilson. Mr. Taft and Mr. Root;
and mentioning the senate oligarchy also.
That helped some. But James wobbled some
Monday evening while delivering an APP
peal for votes to Huntington, West Virginia,
audience. lie more than wobbed. lie turned
double fpflop right out in plain sight Of the
American voters.
If am elected president" said James ~
will alt down with the senate and make an
agreement the league OF nations" In other
words, James has got to whore ne is willing to
talk trade with the oligarchy, But he went fur
ther. much further: '"The executive will should
not control. and it Is unthnkable that Amer
lean membership in the league should be post
poned two years"

BOOKS

Copyright 1920, by Edgar A. Guest)
Books are the land where friendly people
dwell,
The happy land where loved ones never
die;
The young stay young, the old continue
well,
Howe'er neglected in the dust they lie
within the pages born OF human thought
W" live again the battles men have fought
And share their glad romauces, old and new,
And though We change, our books are al
ways true
We can desert these friends for many years
And then return TO them and sit awhile
And find the same sweet comfort for our
tears
The same brave, happy friend to make us
smile.
Tho wise philosopher upon the shelf remains
To prove to us the glory OF our pains,
who owns few good books need never
For he has friends who were not born to
die
Age docs not mar the charm OF women fair,
Success Is never followed hy conceit
Men do not sour beneath the touch OF care
Nor change their natures with one small
defeat.
What once was lovely lives on lovely still
Time hath no power the bloom OF youth to
And ali the brave are brave unto tho end
Just as they were when first their lives were
penend.
There are two worlds through which we all
may range
The living world where humans come and
go,
Where every day brings on It's sudden change
And what will be no man can surely know,
And then there Is that wonder land Of books
dusty land OF shelves and halls and hooks
And there, In spite OF time and hurt and
