Here in Dayton, they still tell the
story of how Cox, Is years ago, es-
capped from hospital.
He had been working day and
night for months trying to put run
down newspapers on it's feet and he
had been acting as editor, editorial
writer and business manager. When
the nervous breakdown came the
doctors said he'd have to stay in the
hospital for at least three weeks. He
entered the place on Sunday.
Early the next Saturday morning
they discovered he had left during the
night. But no trace could be found
of him until about noon, when he
telephoned the superintendent:
This is Cox speaking" he said.
I'm all right now; I'll not be back"
"But Mr.. Cox" pleaded the super
intendent. ''the doctor says you're a

audience that new tax law, but re-
Gently enacted would reduce their

arose in the back part of the house,

I'll bet you a SIS hat to a red apple
that the new law reduces your taxes"
I'll make it BARREL" the old fell
low replied, while the crowd laughed.
Some months after the governor was
speaking at Lima. While he was
eating his supper at the hotel the
colored head waiter stepped up and
said man was outside and wanted
to see the governor. The governor
had him shown in. It was the Van
Vert county farmer he had bet with.
'T- just wanted to say, governor" he
began, "that I'll ship that barrel of
apples to Columbus tomorrow. The

of the fact that I turned in S1,100

HECKLER SILENCED.

In Carroll County. Ohio, where
democrats are few and far between
Cox was making a political speech
several years ago to a crowd com
posed largely of farmers. When he
mentioned that he himself had been
born and reared on a farm, one OF
his hearers, evidently a jealous re-
publican, shouted out:
What do you know about mauline
rails?" The crowd, thinking the gov
ernor would have to confess himself
ignorant, laughed uproariously.
The governor insisted that his ques-
toner come down in front where all
might see him.
"Now, my friend" said Cox, '1'll
answer your question by asking you
one. You tell this audience what a
.glut' is"
The fellow turned all shades, shift
ed from one foot to the other, and
appeared speechless.
Go on, now and tell US what a
tglut' is" Cox tormented.
The republican finally stammered:

well, I have and I've used one
many a time in helping my father

ernor asked all who knew what a
"glut" was to hold up their hands

BUSINESS SUCCESS.

AS newspaper publisher, Cox has
always shown great daring.
Twenty years ago some railroad
men, who were trying to build into
Dayton without eliminating grade
crossings, sued him for $4z5, 900 Grim
lnal libel because of the hard fight
his Dayton News had made against
their project.

criminal libel was alleged, it was the
duty of the sheriff to take possession

amount sued for.

soliciting aid from every friend BIZ

An hour later, however, the News
was on the streets with an extra tell
ing how its friends had come to the
rescue with the $850,OO0 bond.
Sixteen years ago Cox bought a
newspaper in Springfield, Ohio, and
in one day he did three things to it:
Changed its name from Press
Republic to The News.
!. Changed its politics from repubn-
can to democratic.
Changed it's time of issue from
morning to evening.
Instead of wrecking the paper, these
three radical changes started the
