seven votes to his one--animals whose
ideals were not his and never could
be? Noah merely remarked that he
thought a spell of weather might be
expected, and that when it came he
intended to be in out of the wet.
Thereupon some of the more touchy
OF his neighbors said that it was pre-
posterous to assert that they didn't
know enough to get in out Of the rain.
or that they were against any ark
merely because they were not suited
by this particular ill-omened thing
that Noah was constructing. They
didn't think much of Noah as a
weather prophet, but If it should start
to rain they would hopefully approach h
one another and assemble the best
minds OF the nation for the building
of an ark which should be designed
on the proper principles. But Noah,
by that time, was pounding in another
spike and heard no more; so the rest
OF their argument has been lost to
posterity. We could have used al
most any kind of ark in the last week
OF July. 1914.

GOV. COX AND THE FARMERS

In 1918. when the whole nation
was alive TO the necessity OF stimu-
lating agricultural production Cover
nor Cox went to work to aid the Ohio
farmers.
He called meeting OF tractor
manufacturers and stated that he
wanted them to allot at least 1900
farm tractors for sale in Ohio. lie
then went to the superintendent Of
the state banking department and
obtained letters TO every banker in the
state. urging financial assistance to
farmers In the matter OF buying trac-
tors. He deposited 100000 OF the
state Industrial commission funds in
country banks, with hint that they
lend at lcast some Of 1t to farmers
buying tractors.
Governor Cox then went to the
Federal Reserve bank and secured a
ruling that notes given by farmers
purchasing tractors be discounted on
the same basis as agricultural imple-
ment paper. BY these various means
the farmers OF Ohio were enabled to
purchase in 1913 1899 farm tractors.

PASSING STRANGE, ISN'T TIP

In his speech in the Auditorium at
Kansas City the night of the after
noon that he spoke In st. Joseph,
Senator Harding boastingly declared
that; When I am president we will
have congress that functions"
Now this is mighty good as far as
1t goes, senator, but basing an opinion
on his record of the past. and the
shameful attitude OF a handful OF
willful senators who have delayed and
defeated legislation for peace, one
wonders just how the bombastlc seek
er after votes aims TO make good his
promise.
AS a matter OF fact. four years ago
President Wilson pleaded with the
voters Of the country to elect men to
congress who would stand by him in
legislation that aimed to promote the
welfare of the United States and the
world. Many standpat and hide
bound politicians, holding over at
that election. and others reelected.
have chosen to ignore the call OF
humanity in their determination to
belittle the administration.
1t is safe to say that congress would
have "functioned," and carried out
the plans OF the allied powers in the
matter Of tho peace treaty and the
league OF nations, if Senator Harding
and some Of his present boon COM
panions, namely Messrs. Borah, John
son, Penrose, Lodge, Brandegee and
a few Others had not stubbornly de-
feated every move made by President
Wilson and those who favored the
league.
Strange, isn't it, that Governor
Coolidge, the present republican can
didate for vice president. so warmly
welcomed President Wilson in Boston
on his return from Europe, and de-
clared him to be a figure I'm history
ranking with Washington, and the
league to be a promise Of controlling
warning nations? Strange again that
cX-Prcsident Taft. former Chief JUS
tice Hughes, and Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw. Americas apostles Of all things
humane and hopeful, should have
seen virtue in the league. and now,
after eighteen months. it has no vir-
tue at ALL according to Candidate
Harding!
Congress needs a bit Of houseciean-
ing. that the reacuonaries may be
swept out OF control Men in sympa-
thy with modern needs should be
elected to promote humane legiSla-
tiOn, rather than to block all progress
by throwing a monkey wrench into
the works The nation has witnessed
the conduct of these willful senators
since the signing OF the armistice, and
all open n-minded citizens know exactly
who has been at fault, If congress has
failed to function" in bringing world
peace.

this splendid civic club invited John

again over the peanut politics of the

cause of his having been so highly

an opportunity TO make an address
to this civic non-partisan club. OF

that the speech should not DO OF a

that the boys did not get on to this in

them both for a miserable Republican
Senatorial Oligarchy ought to be
support avoided, and its opposition

to be sent to congress. 1t gives the
usual reason we have all heard in
this campaign, that he is good look
ing; has appearance it says. Wen.
Charley is a pretty good fellow; I be-
lieye he will admit it himself; why
Charley admires himself so much he
had a cut made OF a full length pic
turc of himself and had it printed on
his campaign letter heads so that
every person who received a letter
from him could see how pretty he
is. 1t sure won with the News-Press.
Guess they didn't receive their letter
until this week. Charley ought to
have sent them that letter earlier in
the game; he overlooked something
there sure. Charley was just as
pretty during the war as he is now,
and his manly form so beautiful
would have graced an American uni
form. but it was Lou Gabbert and
others not SO good looking to go to
the front. while Charley basked in
the sunlight of the bright days and
