The story Of governor Cox's divorce
10 years ago was brought into the
convention fight yesterday by puhli-
cation in the san Francisco Chronicle
Of a statement Of the circumstance,
ascribed TO senator Pomerene and
former governor Campbell OF Ohio
The publication in the Chronicle
begins by saying that the Cox man
ayers are indignant at the spreading
Of the divorce story among delegates
by certain Of the governors political
opponents and that senator Pomerene
and Mr.. Campbell were busy all day
explaining the circumstances 10 del
egates who called at Cox headQuar-
tiers to inquire about them
Publication OF the story, which has
been the topic Of some discussion
among delegates ever since they be-
gan to assemble, brought out the
first hint Of scandal being used as a
factor in the campaign and created
a sensation
The explanation declares that when
10 years ago Cox was made the de-
PENDANT IN a suit for divorce by his
wife. strong charges including cru
city. but not including unfaithfulness
were used, although, the explanation
continued, the real cause was in
compatibility OF temper.

CUTTING DOWN REPRESEN
TATION

A proposition, backed by strong
organization, is before the census com
mittee Of the lower house Of congress
to cut down the opportionment OF
southern representation in congress be-
cause Of the alleged disfranchisement
Of negro voters. 1t is pertinent, there
fore, to inquire what power congress
has in the premises under the amend
ments of the constitution relating to
this subject.
Section of the fourteenth amend
ment provides that all persons born or
naturalized in the United States shall
be citizens with equal rights and i'm
munihes. That section does not give.
nor attempt to give, the right to vote to
any new class Of citizens. 1t left that
question exactly where it was before.
But section 2, Of the same amend
ment, provides that representation in
congress shall be apportioned in pro-
portion to the population Of the several
states, but where any state denies the
right to vote to any class OF its citi-
zens its representation may be reduced
in proportion to the number OF citizens
so denied.
If the fourteenth amendment stood
alone. then, it is quite plain that con.
congress could reduce representation
provided it found (Which. as mattel
of fact it could not) that any clas'
Of citizens was disfranchised by stat
laws.
|, But the fifteenth amendment put
new face on the whole matter.
provided that the right of citizens o
the United States to vote shall not b
denied or abridged by the Unite'
States or by any state on account 0
race. color or previous condition Q

> authority to enforce that provision b

But--of course there are times
when one cannot be blamed for get

ing the recent Christmas buying
spree, | saw man who had grounds
for getting peeved. He was up town
with his wife and five children. He
weighed about one hundred and ten
pounds, while she was one Of those
large, husky corn-fed ladies who
could easily take a calf by the tail
and fling it over a ten rail fence. She
carried the purse. All he had to do
was to 60 along behind and look after
the children and carry the bundles
and inwardly hope that his wife would
not spend their last cent. By the time
they had emerged from the last store
he was loaded to the guards with
bundles, and also carried the baby as
a side-line. He really should have
put on the side boards. He wore a
troubled brow. And just as things
had reached the last stages of worse
one of the children ran against a tel
ephone pole and skinned its nose
Then the baby In his arms began cry
ing for a balloon. He could stand II
no longer, so he stood the baby on its
own feet, kicked the bundles up into
a pile, said something that sounded
like "h-l' in a disgusted tone, anf

The Times-Union is making fight
against the Fordney tariff bill which
ought to be effective, since It covers, di.

field. !, Its main point. that the Demo-
Gratis in congress can not support this
measure without stultifying themselves
and tying their hands against the big
ger tariff grab which is sure to come
later, is unanswerable. If democracy
is not opposed to high tariff protection
lit is difficult to find any principle for
which it stands. Democrats in con-

this act, but they can serve notice to
