DIAMOND is MODERN JEWEL
Beautiful Stone as We Know It Today
Was Unfamiliar to the An
eient World.

The perfectly cut and brilliant dia-
mond the world knows today is not very
much more than SO years old says q
writer in Popular Science. The an
cient world knew little of dia-
monds. From the first Pharaoh to
the last, through all the pageantry of
81 dynasties, diamonds were unknown
in Egypt. From the dawn Of history,
Babylon remained unfamiliar with
them for 40 centuries.
The conquest of Alexander across
the Indus in 327 B. C. acquainted
Greece vaguely with their existence.
The patricians of Rome In the days
of the early empire rarely owned them.
Byzantine supremacy, the rise of Ven
ice to maritime power, the Moorish
conquest of Spain. brought only a
trickle Of diamonds into western Eu-
rope. A fashionable jewelry store in
America today carries more diamonds
In stock than were In all Europe
when Columbus sailed from Palos.
Henry d. Morse of Boston, in the
last century was the first to discover
the balanced proportions that devel-
oPCu . lCiCetiNC anu
refractive possibilities. Since brilliancy
is the crowning glory of diamond, he
did not hesitate to sacrifice whatever
weight was necessary TO achieve 1t.
Retaining the 5S facets of the earlier
cutters. he found that diamand is
at its sharpest climax of brilliancy
when the depth from table to culet
is six-tenths of its diameter. and that
Il little more than two-thirds below.
Cut in this style, diamond not only
flashes light from every polished facet
surface, but seems alive with corus-
eating inner fires.
Morse's proportions are the rule of
the world today. and they mark the
final triumph of the art in the achieve
ment of the perfect jewel.

Curious Fatigue Test.

A unique method has been discov-
cred to measure just how tired ones
body becomes after hours Of work. A
line is drawn across the forearm with
a sharp point. not sharp enough to
break the skin. but only to drive out
the blood ant, leave straight white
line on the skin. An observer holding
u stop watch measures the time It
takes for the blood to rush back into
the skin and the white line to fade.
The exact number Of seconds and frac-
tfOn Of u second is recorded. This test
is repeated say at Intervals Of one
hour all day until the working hours
are over. When these readings are
plotted on paper curve Is drawn
which tells at a glance Just how ones
energy ebbs throughout the day. There
Is always a marked jump In the line

their lives in the war and for the
women and children who have
been made to suffer through no
fault of their own; but it is not
our war"
There might be two ways of think
ing as to whether Governor Cox and
his paper were justified in wishing
this country to stay out of the war at
whatever cost to its own immediate
honor and ultimate safety. There
might be those to defend even such an
editorial remark by his paper as the
following, when he was running for
Governor in the autumn of 1916 after
still more hundreds of American lives
had been sacrificed by German sub
marines:
Every indication now is that
tens of thousands of those splen-
did people (Germans) still sym
pathizing with the Fatherland,
stin believing in the righteous
ness of the German cause, still
hopeful that Germany will win
there is every evidence that they
will vote for President Wilson
for election as the best means of
aiding Germany"
But surely there can be no two
opinions among outstanding, right
thinking Americans as to the unmanly
flimsy, almost pitiable excuse of
Governor Cox now for what.his paper
said and did then. His excuse serious
ly offered to the people of the United
States, when he is asking their votes
for him to be their President, is that
his editor is to blame for the acts of
his paper. It was a hired man who
did it. Governor Cox was too busy
with his political affairs to know
what his hired man was making his
newspaper say about German tor
pedoes slaughtering American men,
women and children by the hundreds
of thousands.
Now, 1t is known not merely to the
newspaper profession, it is know to
all men, that the proprietor and pub
Usher of newspaper is responsible,
cannot dodge responsibility, for an
habitual, determined and notorious
editorial policy of his publication.
This is 80 in custom, it is so in NOR
ais, 1t is so in law. And there is no
possibility that at such time Govern
or Cox did not know what his paper
was doing.
Whether he thinks his newspaper
was right or was wrong in its edi-
torial course of those dreadful days
when we were on the brink of war,
for Governor Cox to stand up now
and offer to the American people such
an excuse for the persistent and in
sistent declarations of his newspaper
through those days and weeks and
months is to show himself in more
unpleasant light than the American
people ever could have wished to see
any candidate for President revealed.
Whatever they may think of the
course of his newspaper then, they
must regard the course of Governor
Cox now as something alien to Ameri-
can tradition. They must think Of It
as something mean in American con-
duct. They must look upon 1t as
something repellant in American an
nails.
The American people. those who
are Republicans and those who are
Democrats, must deplore that the San
Francisco convention did not produce
for its candidate man who in such
situation, however. painful. could
stand up straight and look his fellows
squarely in the eye.-New York Sun.

WHILE PALMER HAD THE BEE

Washington July 27.-(Special Cor
respondence)-An anniversary in the
the campaign against the high cost
of living, waged by the Democratic
administration, is approaching. A
year ago, after congress had been in
session nearly four years, President
Wilson demanded that it continue in
session to enact law giving Attor-
ney General Palmer more power for
the prosecution of profiteers in the
necessaries of life. Congress stayed
in session and enacted the law" as

cox,s WAR EDITORIALS.

When the startling revelations came
the other day about the strongly pro-
German course of Governor Cox's
principal newspaper, just before we
entered the war, we waited in fair
ness to him to see what he had to
say in reply. Because fair play is
a general American trait we have no
doubt that the public waited. Now
that has made his answer we do not
hesitate to say it will not do for us.
1t will not do for the American peo-
pie. And we are bound to declare that
because of the way he has sought to
evade his responsibility in this grave
matter, trying to shift the blame to
somebody else, he has not raised him
self in our esteem and cannot raise
himself in the esteem Of the American
public.
There are two separate phases of
this matter There is the serious
thing which the paper itself did at
that time There is the shocking
thing which Governor Cox does now
when that thing is brought before the
eyes Of the nation while he is candi-
date for president Of the United
States
There might be room for two opin-
ions as to whether Governor Cox's
newspaper followed a wholly indefen-
sible or partly defensible course
when, even after the Lousitania had
been torpedoed and hundreds of our
fellow citizens thereby murdered, it
published such editorial brutalities as
the following:

Americans biting their finger
nails at the thought Of the sub

TAMMANY 70 WHITE HOUSE

Is the government of the United
States to be delivered into the nav
of the Tammany Tiger? That it the
vital issue that is instantly raised
by the nomination of Governor Cox
Of Ohio by the Democratic National
Convention. That is the question
that must be decided by the people
in November.
For the nomination of Governor
Cox was brought about by the worst
elements in the Democratic party.
1t was at the demand of Tammany
that the Cox forces win the convention
held fast during the long deadlock
and it was at the dictation of bosses
like Charley Murphy and Tom Tag
gart, of French Lick Springs notorie-
ty, that the maneuver was planned
and the result attained This is the
aspect of the situation which forces
itself upon the attention of every
thoughtful citizen and obscures and
makes wholly secondary the person
ality of the candidate and his praise
worthy record as governor of Ohio.
The stain of Tammanyism upon Am
erican politics is so unsavory, the
principles and practices indelibly as
sociated with the very name Tam
many, and the character and reputa-
tion of the politicians Of the Taggart
type, who compassed the defeat of
both McAdoo and Palmer, are so con-
trary to every ideal Of true states
manship and clean politics that the
domination of the convention and its
candidates by that element can only
be regarded as a colossal blunder.
Apart from the sinister menace Of
Tammany domination in national af-
fairs involved in the Cox nomination,
the Democratic party can take little
real satisfaction in the outcome. For
the triumph of the Cox cause is also
a direct blow at the Wilson admins
tration That cause had for its sup
porters the open foes in the conven-
tion of President Wilson, SO that the
candidacy of Cox is plainly colored
by an anti-Wilson spirit. making hol-
low and insincere the platform eu-
1ogies of the President and the admin
istration Cox's nomination is aimed
at the President and his immediate
following, a blow at his prestige
which no amount of after-explanation
can assuage or conceal.-Philadelph
Public Ledger.
