The Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution

Governor Cox declares that he is
not only in absolute accord with the
Administrations well-known position
on the league Of nations but that it
is and he shall insist on its being
made the supreme issue in the cam
paign. His address is more than a
mere challenge to the Rpublican op-
position. 1t contains an unmistakable
rebuke to the public warning against
any man pretending to- be . Demo
crat whose record for loyalty to his
country and the brave young men Of
the American army during the war
is found wanting when put on the
acid test Of 100 percent Americanism.

Mr.. Cox although he is painfully
verbose in his handling Of the ques-
ton Of entering the League of Ma
tons, manages finally to say in so
many words: "As the Democratic
candidate l favor going in" This
means so far as can be judged from
his halting and complicated treat
ment Of the matter that he favors
accepting Mr.. Wilson's draft as it
stands. Whatever earlier opinion he
may have had cherished, Mr.. Cox
now surrenders himself to the White
House judgment and aligns himself
with the administration. His speech
Of acceptance cannot by any stretch
of the imagination be called an in
spring document.

SCHOOL CENSUS
NOW COMPLETE

FRANKFORT. Ky.-The scholas-
tic population Of Kentucky, compiled
from census returns is 6a2.22l. This
enumeration embraces all youths be.
tween the ages Of 6 to Is, inclusive.
Of the total number, b02,522 re-
side in small towns and the country
and i3s699 in cities Of the first four
classes. and 5s2,O6s are white; 296-
Oss white boys and 2s5sso white
girls. and 29,gS6 colored boys and
3O2l7 colored girls.
The summary reveals the fact that
the boys continue to lead In the school
census in the country and girls In
the cities. Infant mortality, rather
than economic conditions is supposed
TO govern the the proportion Of the
sexes attaining school age. The only
theory advanced by school men Is
that a large percentage OF baby
girls succomb to the less favorable
conditions Of rural life.

from being impressive in many re-

wide variety of topics but much Of

HARDING GIVES
ANSWER TO cox

MARION, o., Aug. 8-Assailing
Governor Cox's speech Of accept
ance as "a curious mixture Of errors
and misstatements," Senator Hard
ing's headquarters replied at length
in an official statement tonight To
the Governors criticism Of the rec
ord Of the Republican congress on
taxation, finances, and the league OF
nations.
The Republican party, the state
ment said, is ready to join battle
on the question Of whether "the
senate attempted to subvert and did
subvert the wish and purpose Of the
American people in preventing rat
iication Of the presidents league.
The statement given out over the
signiture Of Senator Harding's
headquarters" was in part as fol-
lows:
Governor Cox's acceptance ad-
dress will not fail TO please his po-
litical opponents, republicans and
democrats alike, who are convinced
that the country's most immediate
task is to get its business admins
tration into the hands Of people
competent to take care Of it and get
its international relations into the
control Of men who are Americans
,irst rather than internationalists.

Of errors and misstatements as to
facts, so well known that mere ut
erance can cause nothing less than
amusement

Despite these events. it is as yet
too soon to presume that public senti-
mcnt has crystallized toward prohibi-
ton, according to Commissioner Ro-
per.
But many things are occurring"
said Roper, (Which may be regarded
| as symptoms, SO to speak, of the atti-
tudc of the people. The Internal Rev
enue Bureau has received, unsolicited,
scores of letters and reports from in
dividuals indicating that prohibition
is working out satisfactorily in their
! communities.
business men in many localities
state that workmen are reporting for
work more promptly and are losing
less time. and that show large in
crease in new accounts. This. they
attribute to the effect of prohibition.
If this condition is general through
out the country, 1t should have a ten
dency to increase production and i'm
prove social conditions.
Expense Not Heavy.
ain some localities police officials
| are accredited with the statement
that crime has recently diminished,
| which they attribute to prohibition.
Jails. they say, now are becoming ten
antless. In one OF the large cities OF
| the country, for instance, the social
! ed Sunrise court has been prscti-
caIly discontinued because Of a lack
of cases. The commissioner of public
safety in another large city recently
! requested a reduction in the police
| force because of the decreased num-
\ Der of arrests since prohibition be-
| came effect i've.
These seem to be some OF the
| economic and social benefits Of pro-
| hibition so far recorded.
Much has been said of the expense
| of enforcing prohibition. 1t has been
predicted that the cost would be so
| enormous as to constitute a heavy
! burden on the taxpayers OF the coun-
| try. So far as the experience of the
Internal Revenue Bureau thus far is
concerned this prediction does not
| seem justified.
For instance. prohibition enforce
ment in Ja<Iary cost $4,000 in the
district, including Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Tennessee. and Ken
| lucky, the first district from which
detailed report has been received.
Fines To,nIed 100000.
But in the same month, taxes, hnes,
| and penalties imposed for violation
! Of the prohibition laws in this terri
tory totaled more than 100000. In
view Of this It is not improbable that
the cost Of enforcement for the coun-
| try as a whole may be largely offset
! by fines and penalties and taxes on
