THE. ISSUES AND THE CANDIDATE.

The ring is pitched in Ohio by the
nomination of Cox by the democrats
after a tangled convention which
broke the long distance record. Cox
Of Ohio will oppose Harding Of Ohio
The step mother of presidents has
twins.
CoX's nomination is probably a
strong bid for votes considered
merely as votes as the convention
could have made. Following it's re-
cord of administration his party will
have to appeal to special Glasses and
interests and appetites to poll a good
vote this year. Cox is direct APP
peal to appetite as well as to special
interests. If the wet plank failed to
reach the platform plenty OF moisture
came with the candidate-for Cox is
wringing wet, confessedly so and was
the rallying point of all the wet
forces in the convention. Mr.. Bryan
In yesterdays press report from
the convention forecasting a long
session said: ~.
The vets have him as their logical
chief. They think OF him every time
they are thirsty and their enthusiasm
increases with the time between
drinks. He is the shadow Of rock in
a weary land. He is the residuary
leagatee of all the booms that had
any degree OF moisture in them"
five are to consider this testimony
from leading member Of that poll
tical family the nominee should be
personal grata to all the liquor in
terests and the elements that group
themselves about the barrel and the
bar and his nomination a direct APP
peal for those votes. It's safe APP
peal also. 1t viii get those votes.
The platform raised the Wilson
league and covenant as the principal
issue but that alleged Issue is dead
as door nail with Coxs nominal
ton. for Cox fell heir to all the per-
sonal opposition to Wilson accord

The candidate and the forces that
nominated him disclose the real is

CHURCH LOSES MEMBERS
Church Taxation is To Blame Fol
Loss in Membership.

-ooo hi NCtIi'SCtSf1fP.
BY Associated Press.
Berlin, June 16.--So great is the
falling off in church membership here
that the Berlin synod Of the German
Lutheran church has voted to take
drastic measures against persons who
withdraw. Reports read at a recent
meeting of the synod showed that
while in 1915 there were only twenty
Ave OBJECTIONS the number last year
reached 5.2s7. AS many women as
men withdrew, most of them being
young. and the maj ority members
of the Social Democratic party.
The synod resolved that all those
Withdrawing should be excluded
from the privileges OF the church,
thdir children to be denied baptism
anil to receive confirmation In
struction only on certain conditions.
To make these measures effective
the synod voted to Introduce cards
to show that the holders are bona
fide church members.
Escape from church taxation is
said to be the principle reason for
the Withdrawals. Every German
citizen Is assumed t, be a member
Of the state church and is taxed for
it's upkeep. Formerly there were
few Withdrawals owing to the diff
culties placed In the way of those
wishing to do SO and also to the
social discredit that accompanied the
act. But under q new law all a per-
son has to do is to appear before
designated official and state his
desire to give up his church mem
bership. Thereafter he is exempt
from the payment Of church taxes.

NOTHING TO WORRY OVER.

The Irish plank in the democratic
platform may appear innocuous to
Americans and to Irish sy1npathizers
in this country as sighting the ques-
ton but to the Dublin Treeman's
Journal sees it very differently. 1t is
quoted as saying:
"No doubt the English press will
endeavor to comfort it's readers with
the fact that the convention hesitated
to declare outright for recognition of
an Irish republic. irrespective of what
the league of nations might think. But
the plank as 1t stands, If Endorsed by
America, is one involving the gravest
implications. It means that America
is invited to declare that the Irish
question, If not settled is one that
may lea dto war. Only by such a de-
clarsition could the question be in
troduced before the league"
It is the difference between saying
and selling. The Irish plank
in the democratic platform was
put there to "soother'' the SYM

campaign. This country is not
likely to threaten war or declare
ever the Irish journal seems to think
that if the democrats win the coming
election that such success involves
the gravest implications"
The Freeman's Journal is deceived.

GET YOUR FUEL NOW.

Coal is bound to be short. Lessened
production at the mines is one cause
of a coming scarcity and lack of
transportation is another. The two
together are certain to make coal
scarce. Rates arc to go up. There is
no doubt about that and it viii add
to the cost Of coal.
He is a wise man who lays in his
fuel while he can get it. 1t is.going
to be- higher in price and harder to
get When the rush comes some of
the rleglectful are likely to go cold.
The outlook as to transportation is
not assuring. The car trouble may
be partially ameliorated but the fact
is the cars are not to be had to sup
uly the need. 1t will be worse when
the rush begins. Every car load
moved away in the home bins now
releases q car for cold weather. Ev-
cry person able financially to fill his
bins is under a moral obligation to 90
SO now that others less fortunate
may not freeze when zero weather
descfnds upon US.
Nearly all are able to do that. The
man with a, fair credit can MAKE an
arrangement if he tries. He can dick
er with his coal man or borrow the
money. And it is a very sensible debt
to create. We are going to want coal
much more than gasolene next win
ter.
Happy that fafsser or town dweller
who has big wood lot. He can snap
his fingers at winter and fuel search
ty if he chooses. Where he can he
should use the fuel from his own re-
serve. Thas is also by way of a moral
obligation. He thus leaves so much
more, coal to those less independent
ly situated than himself.
E;ut anyhow lay In the winter sup
ply of fuel at once. Aside from every
thing else there's sense of safety IN
a full bin that is worth the money.

votes. The success OF the democrat
party would not mean anything Of
The kind imagined by the irish paper.
The fact is that the average Am
erican citizen has had his fill Of
quixotic interference with other
peoples and their governments and
Is determined to look after his own
and strictly American business for
a while. If the democratic party
should win it would not be an lin
dorsement of an Irish republic nor
would it incolve the nation in grave
complications. It Is a longer way
from "implication" to complication in
American politics than to Tipperary
which Is reputed to be a long, long
way.
Moreover is it pretty definitely GER
tain that neither the duplication"

supreme court held that the federal
game laws were enforceable in q
state whose game laws conflicted
with the migratory-bird treaty act.
The court defined the situation In
the Following paragraph taken from
the opinion:
Here a national interest OF very
nearly the first magnitude is in
volyed. 1t can be protected only by
national action In concert with that
of another power. The subject mat
ter is only transitorily within the
state and has no permanent habitat
therein. But for the treaty and the
statute there soon might be no birds
for any powers to deal with. we see
nothing in the constitution that COM
pels the government to sit by while
a food supply is cut off and the pro-
tectors Of our forests and our crops
are destroyed. It Is not sufficient to
rely upon the states. The reliance
is vain, and were it otherwise the
question is whether the United States
is forbidden to act. We are of opin-
ion that the treaty and statute must
be upheld"
