MR.. WILSON AND MR.. COX

TT SEEMS pretty certain now that Mr..
- Wilson is preparing to go into the arena
In behalf of Mr.. Cox. The President. ac-
cording TO current limitations from the
White House, will resort to the written
word, a weapon which he used with extraor.
dinary results in the months Immediately
preceding the end of the war. And those
who have seen him deal with difficult com
plea tons in the past will feel that his skill
must meet a new test as great as any re-
hected in the state papers issued from
Washington.
Charley Murphy is a very close friend of
Mr.. Cox and one of the most cynical of Mr.
Wilson's enemies. He went fishing on the
day when a committee visited the President
at Shadow Lawn with the news Of the sec
ond nomination. Perhaps the most ardent
worker for Mr.. Cox in New Jersey is Jim
Nugent. Mr.. Nugeat's hatred of Mr.. Viii
son was so ardent as to be almost party
scandal. There is nothing in the recent
history Of politics to show that it has been
In any way tempered. Ire President him
self is pretty good hater. He loathed Mr.
Nugent and he loathed Charley Murphy, and
IN other days he made no secret of his state
of mind. Not only the Nugents and the
Murphys but all their methods and works
were seemingly repellent to Governor Will
son of New Jersey and President Wilson Of
the United States.
The purposes of the White House in this
instance are plain. 1t is Mr.. Wilson d
belief, apparently, that by actively support
ing Mr.. Cox he will aid toward the success

world peace His Is an idealh JsaA-And

Passing Of the Old Red Barn

FROM the Summer Session (Ransas)
Boyhood days without hayloft are like
a play without stage: The automobile has
vanquished the big red barn. as the cement
bottomed pool has the old swimming pool
The center of boyhood life has disappeared
Imagine the gang sneaking of from trusting
parents on hot afternoon and congregating
In the shiny new garage. Where can tbev
conceal the forbidden weapons, or the
thumb marked yellow back that mother
heap? Where do they hide to escape the
starched shirt and stiff shoes and the party?
Where are the circuses given? The train
robberies planned? And the hair raising
stories repeated? The carefree scenes If
boyhood are gone. Imagination has no field
TO grow and expand In. Half the ioys ~
youth have vanished with the passing of
the old red barn.

ber of girls and which with such ac-
tive and experienced hackers is sure
to grow to large proportions.
