II you have doubt or curiosity
concerning the election ask
thousand men north Of the Mason
and Dixon line, "How are you go
ing to vote?" You will be able to
write on small part Of your cuff
the names of those that are "Cox."
Hundreds will tell you. II don't
know anybody that is going to vote
the Democratic ticket"
Unless something happens in the
next few weeks the defeat Of Cox
will be the most emphatic and
thorough since the defeat OF Hor-
ace Greeley, who deserved better
fate.
Do you gamble in steel stocks? y?
Gamble cautiously. and BE doubly
cautious il you gamble In little
"war bride" steel companies. II
steel competition comes with cut
ting OF rates. your little war
bride" steel concern! fightins tho
big steel company, will be like q
small Skye terrier fighting q steam
roller. One good roll and it will
be all over.
Kssp this fact distinct in your
calculations: The United States
Steel Corporation can make and
sell steel at good profit for con-
siderably less than the little conf
ponies can manufacture it,
Profound, learned students OF
Russian matters, carrying on their
studies three thousand miles from
Petrograd. announce gravely that
ona- lady had complete control OF
Lenin and another control OF
Trotzky.
Lenin's '4vamp"i is a Russian young
woman who sings for a living. or
did. Trotzky's is a French dane
ing girl. At this news"
Frenchman would quote the royal
spokesman defending the Solic
law: when a King is on the
throne some woman always rules
France; a good thing for the
country"
To the ignorant and prosperous
bourgeoisie Of America, when you
have said that a French dancing
girl rules Trotzky, and q Rus
sian singing girl rules Lenin. you
have said enough. That convinces
any sweetly ignorant American,
with a collection of Russian bonds
in his safe, that this country under
no circumstances should recognize
the Russian Government.
AS it happens, Lenin is we'll
watched, looked after, and cared
for by his wife. He once took
considerable interest in the IA
nous Rosa Luxembourg, intelli-
gent German-Jewess, from whom
he got many Of his radical ideas.
She, however, has since been muir
dered, and Lenin is probably too
busy for foolishness yet.
Ten million inhabitants, and
more, in the State of New York,
five million six hundred and twen-
ty thousand in the city of New
York alone-latest figures of the
United States census.
Here you have forty-eight
great States, hundreds of great
cities, more than a hundred mil
lion people, a nation with an in
come exceeding sixty thousand
millions q year, with roads to
build, deserts to irrigate, swamps
to drain-we have a league of
our own inside the boundaries of
the United States, and need not
go abroad looking for trouble or
occupation.
The forty-eight states are for
ty-eight nations. Texas alone
could feed the whole world, and
will one day have a population
greater than that Of the British
Islands.
The forty-eight nations of the
United States Of America, united
forever, with free trade and only
friendly competition among them,
are quite a sufficient League Of
Nations"
What kind of mind is it that
suggests making this great Union
Of States a mere unit in another
union, to be ruled from across the
water.
II. G.. Wells is in Petrograd.
When he tells what he has seen
you will know something about
Russia He is one of the few that
know how to see q thing clearly,
and describe it simply.
He begins, intelligently, by real
ning that the people Of Russia are
as different from the Western peo-
pie as sheep are different from
horses. It will be worth your
while to read all that he says and
writes when he comes back. He is
