eren3 to the fact that these pow CTS were freely accorded him by the American people, who were thankful that they had such a leader to pilot them through a national crisis.
 A great many of our cherished democratic doctrines had to be shelved during the war. If they had not been, there might have been a different story to tell in Europe. The republican party is no more the spon- sorr of our democratic institutions than the democratic party. Its ten dency during its entire history has been quite the opposite. America never had a more autocratic Presi- dent than Colonel Roosevelt's own father.
 His statement that the Wilson ad- ministrati tion has "darkened the pages of our history during the last eight years" is as preposterous as it is untrue. It Hardened" our history by helping to win the greatest war ever won, by making America a sym bol throughout the world of the square deal and the disinterested champion of liberty for all nations, friend as we'll as foe, and lastly by pledging itself to the League of Ma tions, designed to end wars of ag- gression, one of the noblest projects ever conceived, which a group of re- publican senators, actuated by hatred of President Wilson, have sought to destroy. Equally absurd is Colonel Roosevelts statement that the repub- lican party fought the war.
 It is this kind of buncombe that has brought discredit on American politics. The democratic party is not perfect. It is not composed of blame less men who have never committed fault or made a mistake, and nei- ther is the republican party. A lit tie more sincerity, little more truth great deal to dignify the presi- dential campaign.

F Baked in Their Plan to Buy the Presidency

N T the beginning of the campaign EA Governor James M. Cox, the democratic standard bearer, charged that the republicans had organized slush fund campaign for the purpose of buying the presidency. He named S15,O00,00O as the amount sought. Will H. Hays, chairman of the re- publican committee, denies the charge. Before the subcommittee of the Sen ate, Investigating campaign expendi- lures, Hays, under oath, branded Cox's charges as false. But Governor | Cox said "I cannot believe single word he says on the subject. That he has been caught in his own trap is evident"
 The public will surely believe a an of Cox's known probity before they will accept the statements or officials of the republican financial committee.
 Senator Harding may know little or nothing of the corrupt methods of his managers. who have eagerly fol- lowed the slush fund tactics of their predecessors.
 The republican money raisers have been proverbially interruptions. The | Senate committee will drag It's weary length along, but Cox will not cease his attack on the republican boodlers. Instead of raising S15,000,000 to carry the election the republicans will 1 in all probability endeavor to double that sum. The country is flush with

It is certainly queer feeling a man has when he sees his first sweetheart after many years" said A. J. Swanson. T recently visited my old home, which is small town in Mississippi. While there I chanced to meet my first sweetheart on the street At the sight of her my heart gave a jump--just as 1t used to do when I was in her presence We chatted for a few minutes, it hav- ing been many years since I had seen her. While she looked very little older, she was not the slender girl at whose shrine I had worshipped, and we both laughed over our old sweetheart days, which had started when we were in school She, of course, is married now. Seeing her took me back to my boy hood days"

HABITS OF THE COUGAR

Gerald Beaumont in Leslie's.
 Here are some conclusions based upon Bruces close observation of the habits of the California lion or cougar, and it will be noted that some of them are quite contrary to popular concep- tion:
 A mountain lion does not scream like A woman or cry like baby" It dislikes noise of any kind. When woundedaor facing dogs it growls and spits like cat.
 It does not leap at victims from free. but hunts entirely from the ground. rushing from cover to strike down deer or calf by sheer force or on slaught.
 The lion is as fast as deer for 100 yards, but if 1t has not caught it's prey in that distance. will quit and stalk another. It is shortwinded, which is why it takes to tree when the dogs are after It.
 A full-grewn lion will scale .5o pounds. and is a potentially dangerous animal when cornered. The male Is the largest, fiercest and most difficult to tree. Unless very hungry, lion will eat nothing it has not killed itself.
 A lion will kill wantonly. striking down second deer within fifteen min utes of killing the first. Instead of tearing at the throat of it's victim. g lion disembowels.

"The republicans in the state of Ala bama are going to put up the strongest campaign ever waged in the history of the state in the fall election of 1920,' said Allen M Monroe.
 Tn every county indications are that people are becoming interested in the republican party and where the idea prevailed before that republicans were creatures with tails and hoofs, the people now realize that they have been kept from the facts, and that re- publican can be as sane thinker as a democrat. Interest in the coming cam paign is centered in the Seventh dis trict. where Charles c.

"The American Legiony

T wish all members of the American Legion would be more careful in mak- ing out their checks" said George Lewis Bales, finance officer of the Birmingham post. We receive many checks every week. They are made payable to most anything that comes in the minds of the sender.
 The proper name to be used Is, The American Legion. The checks should not be made payable to Birmingham post, Post No. 1, or to any officer of the legion. If these instructions were carried out much trouble would be saved in indorsing and cashing the checks. No membership campaign is on, but our membership is rapidly in creasing. We are now giving a series Of dances. The third one will be given at Edgewood Park.

Nation Will Not Stand
 For Contract Breaking

G1HE country will indorse the &C., U tion of President Wilson in ad- dressing an ultimatum to rebels among the anthracite miners who threatened to strike if he approved the majority report of the anthracite coal commission.
 This threat was conveyed to the President before he had approved the majority report of the commission and was clearly intended to frighten him. He has accorded it the treat ment which it deserved. He has ap- proved the majority report, and to \ the men who wave the red flag of trouble he says:
 By all the laws of honor upon
 which civilization rests that pledge
 (the agreement to abide by the
 award), should be fulfilled. Any
 intimation that the anthracite mine
 workers will refuse to work un-
 der the award because 1t does not
 grant them all that they expected,
 is a reflection upon the sincerity
 of the men who constitute the
 backbone of the community in
 which they live.
 He assures the threatening contin- gent of the miners that "they may rest assured that their challenge will be accepted and that the people
 the country would find some sub
 'e fuel to tide them over until
 Aal sentiment of the anthracite nine workers can find expression and they are ready to abide by the obli- gations they have entered into" \ The country has endured contract breaking until it has reached a point { exasperation. It is going to have
 more of it.
