GOVERNOR Cox,s SPEECH.

Governor Cox at Dayton, o., Satur-
day not only accepted his party's nom
nation for the presidency, but he also
accepted Senator Harding's challenge
to go to the country on the issue of the
League of Nations. Not only did he
do this but he cut loose from Presi-
dent Wilson and advocated ratifica-
ton of the Versailles treaty with res
ervations. Senator Harding in his
speech of acceptance already has de-
clared for a peace by congressional ac-
ton and against the treaty in any
form. There is the issue. Those who
feel an interest in the matter can
take their choice.
Governor Cox takes occasion to call
attention to the fact that no treaty
can override our constitution, which
reserves to congress alone the power
to declare war;" and takes the ground
that reservations will ''at least be re-
assuring to many of our citizens"
The governor makes the customary
promises of candidates for office, to
reduce taxes. But he goes farther and
specifies how it shall be done. First
OF all he would repeal the war levies
and substitute therefor a tax on the
bushes of every going concern.
1t must be>apparent to the voter
that the president has little power over
taxes other than that of the veto,
which seldom is used on an appropri-
alton bill. He can, however. bring
about a large saving in government ex-
penditure. But the appropriations are
in the hands of congress.
The governors utterance~regardin
the industrial problem is decidedly
noncommittal and therefore is unlike
ly to meet with objections from any
quarter. On this subject he says:
The writ of injunction should not be
tabused, We need a definite and pre-
else statement of policy as to what
business men and workingmen may do
land may not do by way of combina-
ton and collective action Neither la
Dor nor capital should at any time take
action that would put in jeopardy the
public welfare.
There is nothing in this attitude cal
culated to make or lose him a single
vote.
/ Both candidates now have spoken
and a duh and spiritless campaign may
be expected. There is little in the
! platforms OF the speeches to make it
otherwise.

There are stars for almost every

Of those who greatly excel as stars
What a sight on a clear nfght-the

If you want to sleep the sleep OF

Stars do not talk back-they twin

Dorothy Dix Talks
PartnerE-f.
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest raid Woman wz4se1,


We have long recognized that mar
rage is a partnership in which a. man
and woman enter into a life contract
to POOL their money, their labor, their
Intelligence and good will and strive
together for the common good of the
firm.
Heretofore woman has been a silent
partner in the concern. - Her work was
all done on the outside of the store or
office or factory All that she had was
invested in the business but she had
nc voice in its management Gener-
ally she was kept in complete ignor-
ance of what it was doing. Nature
might have endowed her with extraOr-
binary financial ability and executive
efficiency, but she never had a chance
to use her talents. And she shared IN
only such of the profits of the firm as
the senior partner chose to give her 4
she succeeded, while she went down
into bankruptcy if it failed.
The entrance of SO many clever and
capable women into the business
world, and especially the marriage of
so many men to these aforesaid clever
and capable business women is Begin
ming to- change this left handed matri-
monial partnership into a real part
nership in which a woman is not only
mans wife. but his business partner
as we'll.
WHEN H1d0 married d
highly trained business woman he
dumped her down into a kitchen
where she was miserable, and where
he ascertained that being a cracker
jack stenographer does not necessarily
make one a good free hand cook, nor
does a lightning calculator enable one
to always have meals on time.
Now, when he espouses the efficient
secretary who leaves her employer
tearing his hair when she gets mar
ried or when he leads TO the altar a
prize buyer, or head saleswoman,
Mr. Wiseman, instead of wishing the
gas range and stationary washtubs on
/ her, invites har into his own office, or
sets up a little business with her. The
result is the woman is happy and in
terested in doing the work she has
fitted herself for and likes, and the
comes a grand sweet song, with two
people working shoulder to shoulder
for the same end.
! So universally successful have been
these firms of husband and wife that
they seem to offer a solution of many
of the social problems of our day
They provide an outlet for the ener-
gies of women, for one thing. 1t il
having nothing worth while to do that
makes women peevish and naggy ana
discontinued. for the time has gone
by when a woman with brains in her
head can find sufficient occupation
| for a lifetime in punching holes In
cloth and filling them up again, and
/ going to pink teas and bridges, and
realize her highest ambition in win
| ming the blue ribbon at the church
| bazaar for the angel food. Many a
man who has a wife who is hard to
endure as a domestic partner would
| find that she was an invaluable asset
as a business partner, if he took her
| into his office, or store mad gave her
the big constructive work that heI
body and mind cry aloud for.
