Representatives and Is known to the
congressional politicians perhaps even
better than Cummings. Mr.. White was
second in command to Moore in San
Francisco SO Gov. Cox pays his debt
to his personal managers there, first
by offering the place to Moore. and. sec
ond, by using his influence to secure
the election Of White.
Under no twist of the imagination can
White be regarded as an anti-Wiison
man. for he is for the league of ma
tons and he has always been known
az q Wilson supporter in Congress. Mr..
White helps Cox retain the dry strength
in the democratic party Of Ohio and
brings to the campaign high degree of
conscientiousness and earnestness. The
democratic prudential nominee has GER
tainly weathered one storm that threat
ensd discord. Ali the democrats went
away professing happiness.

form of the other the commonest of NIL

in which reverence may be manifested
toward anything or person: One, By

other, by exalting all others through It

The Virginia state Democratic con-
ventlon has furnished what may be
accepted as In substance the declara-
ton concerning the peace treaty which
President Wilson will ask the national
convention In San Francisco to adopt.
The plank was formulated by Senator
Carter Glass, was submitted by him to
Mr.. Wilson and received the latter'S
Endorsement. 1t reads thus:
1.-THE Democratic party Of Virginia
favors League of Nations as the sur
est, II not the only, practicable means
of maintaining the permanent peace
Of the world and terminating the in
siderable burden of great military
and naval establishments. 1t was to
form this that America broke away
from traditional isolation and spent
her blood and treasure to crush a
colossal scheme of conquest.
Eve felicitate the president and his
associates on the exceptional achieve
ment at Paris involved in the adoption
of league and treaty so near akin
to American ideals and so intimately
related to the aspirations of civilized
people, everywhere.
ave condemn the Republican senate
for its refusal to ratify the treaty
merely because it was the product Of
Democratic craftsmanship, lnterposlng
partisan envy and personal hatred in
the way Of the peace and revived pros
perity Of the world.
I'VE advocate prompt ratification Of
the treaty without reservations which
would impair its essential integrity.
Only by doing this mag we retrieve
the reputation of this nation among
the powers of the earth and recover
the moral leadership which Wilson
won and which with amazing indiffer-
ence paltering Republican politicians
at Washington sacrificed"

no general break yet in prices and that
the cost Of living must remain at
about its present altitude until all of

PR0FESS0RSATN NOR
NAL HANDLE

Yesterday was cleanup day at the
State Normal school and to Prof. J.
H. Seymour was delegated the job of
getting a crew together for the pur-
pose of cleaning up the campus and
grounds at the institution. A half
holiday was declared by President AL
len in the afternoon and Mr.. Seymour
and his bunch, armed with rakes, got
out to work in real earnest, The stu
dents were on the job with a capital
J. and worked hard and earnestly,
making every stroke Of the rake
count so that at the end Of the period
the campus presented very fine ap-
pearance. Of course there had to be
a few bosses WHO belong to the union
and therefore were special characters.
Take Wemett, Switzer and Meyer, for
instance, they thought they were do
ing things, and we presume they did,
anyway they are all good scouts and
the work done shows what a little
energy and good will will do to making
things shine The entire faculty and
student body went at the job, and
President Allen demonstrated that if
it comes down to pinch he was in
dependent of any political faction,
board or foreign potentate whatsoever,
as he was able not only to successfully
handle the rake, but could turn in and
do a mans job on the farm if he had
to. Following the cleaning up exer-
cises various games were played for
a short time and then refreshments
of doughnuts and coffee were served to
the hungry but very deserving bunch
Of workers. The affair was very sue
cessful and Prof. Seymour and his
helpers yesterday demonstrated that
they could solve the labor question
very easily did the occasion warrant.
