Cox Either Ignorant or Dishonest
On Irish Question

Of all the ignorant dishonest statements which have
been made in this campaign the most ignorant the most
dishonest is that which Governor Cox the Democratic cand
cate for President made recently concerning the action in
kohaH Of Ireland he would take if he elected.
Governer Cox said that he would Immediately present
Ielands to the League of Nations The implications
of this statement bad enough But worst of all is his
next assertion that Irelands only hope lies in the League
Of Nations.
Every intelligent interested in the of self
determination of nations and especially of Irish descent
concerning whose fatherand this pitfuy false statement
made must feel that Governor Cox is adding insult
injury It is injury enough for to advocate the estab
ishment of agency which would shut out the light of
freedom from nation long the agency existed but
is unnecessary add to the insult of claiming before
intelligent that that agency could be made to help
rather than to destroy the hopes of the Irish people
To show the depth of Governor Coxs ignorance or
Hypocrisy that elected President that
does present the Of Ireland to the League of Nations
What happens? Why of the League being British
instrument and the British statesmen being practical
whose feet always the ground and whose gaze is
level have already provided for such contingency There
FORE when if Governor Cox elected he presents the Irish
question to the League Council why of course he will be

Of every nation squrming under the weight and

It is league Of oppressors to protect their loot
We suppose that when Governor Cox learned for the
first time that his appeal to the League of Nations fore
closed he would sigh and say: well, have kept my
word It is not my fault that the League interfere
in Irelands behalf But Ireland India, Egypt Shantung
Korea Persia Mesopoama and Arabia would very much
worse off if by of Governor Coxs success at the
polls America entered the League. For while America
under the League could do nothing to help Ireland the
other oppressed little nations yet under Article of the
League she would be bound to help their oppressors to

THE SECRET MARRIAGE.
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

THE SECRET MARHlAGE-
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
For six months / have been going
cut with a young man of twenty
two, four years my senior.
He now wants to be married in
court on the q T." not being la
position to have a home wedding at
the present time. He promises me
that our marriage will be publicly
announced in about two years, this
at my request, which time / have
given him to make good.
NY parents and several OF my
girl friends object to him. but |
dearly love him. " we do marry
will have my cnum and he his
brother as witnesses. and until our
marriage is announced no one will
be the wiser.
know 1t would grieve my mother
were she made aware OF my con-
templated act, as she continually
advises me to give him up, thinking
am too good for him.
Do you think II advisable for me
to marry him. He refuses abso-
luteIy to wait the two years to be
married publicly, saying that 1t will
show my true love for him II ! take
him now in the face of all opposi-
ton. ALlCE'
wouldn't mind this whole situs-
tion so much IL IL weren't for your
youth. Really you aren't old enough
to go through the experience you
nj nIn
your mother and your friends unite
in disliking this young man ther,
must be something pretty evidently
wrong about him. There Is nothing
radically wrong about the secrecy OF
this idea. but don't like the way
he Is forcing your hand nor yet the
lack of self control he shows in
refusing to walt and win over
those you love so that your mar
riage won't start so heavily handi-
capped.
