Outdoor life appeals to Gov.
Cox. He is interested in all kinds
of sports. Horseback riding, hunt
ing and golf are his favorite pas
times. He is no mean golfer. it is
said. Once every year he breaks
away from the affairs of the state
and takes to the woods in company
with his son. and spends several
weeks roughing it and hunting.
After being out of the governors
chair for two years Gov. Cox
staged comeback in 1916 and de-
feated Willis for the Office. He was
elected governor for the third time
in 1918, and is now serving as chief
executive of the state. He is a
hard working executive, too, and
does not spare himself or his sub
ordinates when he is on the job.
Under his administration the pris-
on system of the state has been
revised along humanitarian lines.
Gov. Cox takes personal interest
in these matters. When a plea is
made to him for executive Glenn
ency- ne makes a practice invari-
ably of seeing the prisoner before
he grants a pardon.
Just to look at Gov. Cox gives
no indication of his age. It's true
that fifty years is no great age, but
the governor gives the impression
of being years younger. Perhaps
this is due largely to his outdoor
exercise. He is of medium height
and sturdy build. with a strong
neck. which usually indicates COM
bativeness.
The governor Is easy of access.
He is courteous always and has the
reputation of'treating his subordi-
mates justly and kindly. But when
he is on the warpath he is apt to
hit right and left with little re-
gard where his blows fall. When
he has been backed into a corner.

in addressing the Merchants Assocta-
ton in New York on Friday. He gave
several illustrations of how these en-
ployes are making personal sacrinces

Uncle Sam for the benefit Of the peo-
pie Of the country:

ready numerous cotton factories have
been established at Shanghai and
Hankow. Many of them are owned by
Japanese and other foreigners. AS
cotton is almost exclusively used for
clothing in China, the consumption OF
cotton goods is very large.
It is improbable that exports to
countries of western Europe will In
crease, partly because of their inn
poverishment and at present by rea-
son Of high rates of exchange.
Formerly in trade with England the
balance was heavily against Japan.
and even more SO in the case OF Bel
GUM. Sweden and Germany. On the
other hand, the balance of trade with
France and Italy was in favor Of
Japan. due largely to exports Of silk.
Twenty years ago England was
large exporter Of cotton goods to
Japan and held the market in neigh
boring countries Now the quantity
imported from England is very small,
and Japan has the advantage in east
ern Asia The rivalry between Man
chester and Osaka is a fierce one.
There is every prospect that the ag.
gregate trade between Japan and all
Of Europe will be proportionately
less in the future. The same is true
Of British India, which has ranked
third in volume of trade. Increasing
supplies of raw cotton from the
United States and China forecast di-
minished imports from that country
and the DEVELOPMENT in India of the
cotton and other industries would
seem to promise smaller exports.

when it came time to elect a gov
