HOW DOES 1T
STRIKE YOU?

WHAT is the issue of this campaign? fl

WHAT is the issue of this campaign?
w Senator Harding has been nom
mated for more than month Cover
nor Cox has been up for the presidency
a fortnight.
Roth parties have written long plat
forms; but nobody has found the issue.
1t was going to be the Wilson admin
istration. but the Democratic party
backed away from nominating the Pres
idents son in law and the anti
administration forces in the convention
named man not at all Identified with
the President.
The Wilson issue appeared to 60
glimmcring. Governor Cox goes to
Washington has talk with the Presi-
dent.
All. It will be the Wilson issue
after all
The governor has crossed the White
House doorsill.
He has gazed upon the sheep on the
White House lawn.
Does not that fasten upon him all
the dislike which has accumulated in
the bosom of the public over the Wilson
administration?
What is the state of Governor Cox 5
soul after an hours conversation in the
White House?
Has it become infected with Wilson
ism? Hasn't he become a member Of
the royal family?

WHAT is the real issue?

on the White House lawn?
The League of Nations?
Liberalism?
Liberalism versus conservatism?
Wet or dry
When the Republican chose boldly at
Chicago to put by all the progressivism
of Roosevelt and become definitely con.
scrvativP in the belief that the war
had left the world conservative, people
said: "Oh, the Democrats will he lin.
cral." and the issue will be "liberal-
ism against conservatism"
But the Democratic party declined
the opportunity.
There are two conservative parties,
differing in intelligence, capacity,
honesty, perhaps. but both conscrya
tive. "Ah then" said some who were
watching for an opportunity to start n
third party, 1--WE shall force the issue,
We shal found liberal party"
But they didn't.
They couldn't find any liberals to
make it up.
They cast their net in the sea for
liberals and pulled in lot of radicals.
One good issue gone wrong
Is the League of Nations the issuep
President Wilson insists that it is,
and Governor Cox, having paid a visit
TO President Wilson and parted from
him in amity, may be supposed to agree
with him.
But can it be made the issue?
Can the people be interest,tr.. in il as
they were in being kept out of the war
In 1918?
Or In free silver in 1900.

An increase in wages that would have
amounted to 81 900 ZOO. 900 a year was
asked by the men. The hoard. after
considering the whole situation. with
the full knowledge that whatever in
crease was allowed would have to be
paid by, the public, has agreed on an
increase that will amount to 5000 900,
600 year.
The railroad companies have indicated
their willingness to artcpt the award.
The labor leaders profcSSCd to be dis
appointed and talked about the posSi-
bility Of strike.
In view of the present state of public
sentiment, however. the labor leaders
would do well to think twice before
advising n strike.
The wages Of the railroad workers
were increased by the government
during the period when it had control
of the roads. Tho continued low pur-
chasing power of the dollar has made
it necessary to increase the pay of the
men still further in order that they may
maintain their families. As the public
will have to pay the bills. the Labor
Board wisely took that fact into ac-
count in it's award and let us off as
easily as possible.

~ mands for the nation a bill of par
ticulars.
What did Cox say to Wilson?
What did Wilson say to Cox?
Wouldn't the election of Cox. now
that he has talked to Wilson, mean
four more years of Wilson?
Can n man be permitted to pay n
visit to the politically prescribed White
House and get away with it?
Doesn't Governor Cox'S mind after
his Washington trip wear one of those
labels such as foreign hotels stick. or
used to stick before paper costs rose,
on dress suit cases?
The country should know.
Doesn't visit to the White House
mean all sorts OF foreign commitments
for the United States, dubious alli-
anccs and secret covenants secretly
arrived at?
At last, an issue: Shall Il candidate
enter the infectious, intellectual atmos .
rhere Of the White House? Can a man
be a guest of Wilson without LAYING
himself open TO the charge of pcrpctu ,
atilg the dynasty?

3 KILLED BY MOBS
IN BELFAST RIOTS
(By Associated Press)

BELFAST, July %. - Belfast this
morning was quiet after a night of
sanguinary fighting between Sim Fein
and Unionist mobs. but the situation
was tense and the military with armor-
ed cars were patrolltng the affected
areas. Rain was falling and 1t was
hoped this would prove a deterrent to
further rioting
Casualties thus far recorded are
two men and one woman killed and 20
persons treated at hospitals 70. seri-
GUS gunshot wounds. Many wounded
did not report to hospitals Fifty-four
arrests were made
The primary cause of the trouble is
believed to be the recent murder of
Colonel Smyth in Cork, as many men
employed at Belfast come from Ban
bridge, which was Smyth's native
town.
Sim Feiners are said to have be-
sieged a number Of Orangemen in q
mill for two hours late yesterday, cap.
turing them later and beating them.
A few Of the Orangemen were rescued
by troops.
When police and troops attempted
to separate the combatants the Sim
Fein attacked them with stones and
other missiles. The police charged
them with drawn clubs and temporar-
lily dispersed the rioters, but they re-
assembled and the Falls road and San
dy Row districts were thrown into
uproar. The soldiers fired over the
heads Of the mob. Barbed wire bar
riers were then hurriedly raised by
the military.

final HON0RS PAID
TO ROBERT J. THOMAS
BY WORLD WAR men

Robert J. Thomas, former service
man, who died in Evansville, Monday,
from illness resulting from being
gassed overseas, was escorted to his
final resting place in St. Andrews s
cemetery, Thursday morning, with full
military honors. For the first time the
band Of the Harry Ray post, American
Legion. played at the head Of a funeral
procession for one of Richmond 3
heroic dead.
A number Of uniformed men from
the post, and from the Knights OF
Columbus and Knights Of ST. John
marched in the column. Ray Umpleby
adjutant Of the Harry Ray post, headed
the military cortege.
Bob" Thomas, it is said by those
that knew him, was one of the most
brilliant and enterprising young men
Of the city. From the time that he
was seven years old he had clothed
himself and paid all his Npenses
through St. Andrews school, high
school, two years in Earlham, and to
his junior year in Notre Dame. At
that time he enlisted in the army. and
while serving received the injury that
caused his death.
A steady stream Of friends that he
had made while carrying the Palla
dunn about s years ago, viewed the
body at the undertaking parlors.
Funeral services were held In the
St. Andrews church at 9 a. m. Thurs
day. The Revs. Roell, Zepf, and
Malone had charge of the church
service.
