Wilson and Cox.

It is plain that the President and
Gov. Cox must reach an understand
ing, not only as to the league of ma
tions, but other matters. There must
be union of feeling and effort be-
tween them. 1t is assumable that the
President wants Gov. Cox elected, and
equally assumable that Gov. Cox can
not be elected without the cordial as
sistance of the President Mr.. Cleve-
land and his cabinet did not openly
bolt the Bryan nomination in 1896,
but they gave it no assistance, and it
failed at the polls.
But it is equally plain that this
union of feeling must be effected with
extreme care. The candidate cannot
afford even to appear to come too
much under the Presidents influence.
If elected, he must give the country
a Cox administration-not a continua-
tion of the Wilson administration. In

his own right, with policies of his
own, and lieutenants of his own selec
ton to help push them along, in Con-
gress and out.
This was expressed at San Francisco
in the fight on Mr.. McAdoo. His rec
ord in the Treasury Department had,
it was conceded, made him strong, and
he had other claims on attention. But
he was the Presidents sonin-law; and
the fact would tell against him as
candidate. The fear would be-and
it would be cultivated by the opposi-
tion-that if elected President Mr..
McAdoo would fall too much under the
Wilson influence, and give the country
too little of himself and too much of
his father.in-law. Hence the Cox

to having his way, and

off together remains to be seen. They

Gov. Clements Refusal.

Gov. Clement of Vermont refuses to
call the state legislature in extra ses-
sion for the purpose of voting on the
suffrage amendment. He thus rejects
the urgent advice of Senator Harding,
republican candidate for President, and
makes it impossible for Vermont to
cast the thirty sixth and finally rati-
flying vote. There remains but one
present chance for republican affirma-
tive action and that lies in Connect
cut, where the governor has already
resisted pleas and pressure. The only
other states that have not acted are
democratic-Florida, North Carolina
and Tennessee. Extra sessions will be
held in North Carolina and Tennessee
next month, but the validity of action
in Tennessee is challenged in advance
and ratification by North Carolina will
be necessary also, and even then if
the Supreme Court gives credence to
the challenge Of West Virginia's vote
the amendment will be one short Of a
fully ratifying Endorsement by the
states. Still, affirmative action by
North Carolina and Tennessee would
undoubtedly Dseve Of some benefit to
Evening star., 1920-07-13

the democratic cause in this campaign,
especially in the light of failure in
Delaware and refusal by republican
governors of Vermont and Connecticut
to allow the legislatures to record
themselves. Argument to this effect,
that the present failure Of the nine
teenth amendment is to be attributed
to the republicans, of course ignores
the fact that twenty-five out of the
thirty-five affirmative votes have been
cast by republican legislatures and
that seven out of the eight negative
votes were cast by democratic states.
Furthermore, the suit for injunction
to prevent in prospect the proclama-
ton of a suffrage ratification, which
was today dismissed with prospect OF
appeal, was brought by former demo-
cratic Secretary of the Treasury. The
partisan question involved in this mat
ter is decidedly complex.

Summer Outings.

Vacation and recreation time is at
hand. A majority of Washingtonians
are today either taking or planning
to take in the near future that quota
of playtime held to be essential if one
is to live life in its fullness. Fishing
tackle is being fondly overhauled, golf
bags are stocked for the fray, the
motor is tuned up for the cooling run.
A majority of Washingtonians are
luckily in position to reap fully the
joys and benefits of the season. Yet
somehow one cannot but wonder if all
the fun that is theirs would not be
the more complete if, as they play,

Fly the Tricolor Tomorrow /!

Tomorrow is Bastile day, the ma
tional birthday of France. The peo-
pie of Washington, as of all other
cities of the United States, should
mark the occasion by displaying
French flags. This should be in token
Of the high esteem and the affection
felt for the French
On Independence day the French,
both officially and unoficially, showed
their sentiment for America by float
ing the Stars and Stripes from the
government buildings and from pri-
vate houses. They virtually made a
holiday of the occasion, decorating
American graves and otherwise pay
ing tribute to this nation. Thus it is
but suitable that tomorrow, on the
anniversary Of the fall of the Bastile,
which is recognized and observed as
the natal day of the French republic,
the tri-color of France should be flown
generally here.

"Dirt Farmer" /"

Gov. Cox's reference to his inten-
tion to appoint a real "dirt farmer"
as Secretary of Agriculture in case he
is elected President is not happy
one. 1t will give him trouble. For
the record of the Department of Agri-
culture during virtually its entire his
tory does not support his suggestion
that the republican incumbents there
have been theorists and the democratic
|incumbents have been uniformly prac-
tical men. Without going into per
|sonalities, it is enough to suggest that
if the governor had taken pains to do
a little research before speaking he
would not have made the remark,
which will probably be frequently
quoted during the campaign to trouble
him. There is one Of the dangers of
a political contest. The least word ut
tered in speech or interview may prove
disastrous. The phrase "dirt farmer"
may figure largely in this fight.

Rate by Mail-Payable In Advance.
Candidate Harding's Task.
This is from Marion:

THIS IS from Marion:
"Senator Harding continues to spend
as many hours daily as he can con
troll in the preparation of his speech
of acceptance. His newspaper IN
stinct inspires brevity-in the hope of
catching a wider reading audience
and the speech probably will not ex-
ceed 5000 words in length. The sena-
tors purpose is not to attempt to
cover in detail his position on all the
subjects of the day. The broad gen
eral outline of his position, which he
plans to make on the 22d, will be fol
lowed up by more detailed discussion
in subsequent speeches"
Undoubtedly wise decision. There
is so much material at home, the can
didate could not use it all, even in
condensed form, in one deliverance
without wearying his hearers and his
readers. The point of most weight Is
to secure such attention by the speech
of acceptance as to create interest IN
the speeches that are to follow. Of
course, there will be many of them.
The campaign will cover more than
three months; and whether the candi-
bate stirs from his front porch or not,
he will find it necessary to give va
riety to his diseourses.
Upon taking office Mr.. Wilson did a
good thing in breaking away from
the blanket form of the Presidents
annual message to Congress. Instead
of Towering creation" in his deliver
ances of that character, he has ad-
dressed himself only to "high spots"
among the issues of the day, leaving
some matters for special treatment at
opportune times.
The result has been excellent. Mr..
Wilson's messages, annual and spe-
cial, have all been of readable length,
and the more effective because of the
fact. Congress and the country both
have given attention.
Mr.. Hardilg's task is not easy. But
as he is trained and successful news
paper editor and writer he will prob
ably acquit himself we'll. His ex-
perience will guide him in the selec-
tion of his topics, and in expressing
himself to the everyday understand
ing. Throughout the campaign, in
deed, the editor should be of consider
able assistance to the politician and
candidate.

Height Rules and Sky Lines.

Under the new zoning law building
height regulations have been tenta-
lively adopted for the District. Under
it the city is divided into four dis
tricts, one in which 35 feet is the
maximum height, another 55 feet, the
third So feet and the fourth 110 feet.
These are all maximum heights, the ob-
ject being to prevent the development
Of "sky scrapers" in the downtown
area, and to check excessive heights
in residential districts. What Wash
ington needs, however, is a minimum
height rule as well as a maximum
height regulation. The chief blemish
Of the capital today is the absence
Of a harmonious sky line. In every
part of the city, and particularly the
downtown section, the roof lines are
jagged and grossly irregular. A build
ing of ITO feet may be neighbored by
one of 30 feet or less. The taxpayer"
Of single story often adjoins build
ing Of maximum height. The effect is
altogether inartistic and displeasing. It
suggests that the city is not developed.
1t indicates an unevenness of use.
The impression upon the visitor is that
Washington has grown irregularly,
spasmodically and unsystematically.
In many foreign cities uniformity gov
erns in the matter Of building heights.
In Paris particularly this is the rule,
and the effect is much more impress
sive than in New York, with its tre-
mendous heights Of masonry.

SHOOTING STARS,
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Catbird.

!, The Catbird.
The catbird thinks he owns the place
Because he comes along
And with an air Of jaunty grace
Proceeds to sing song.
No thought Of mortgages has he,
Nor taxes that are due;
The well, the garden and the tree
Are his the summer through.
He sometimes scolds us from the shade
Where he delights to sit;
He thinks that human work was made
All for his benefit.
There's naught would tempt US to efface
His confident delight.
The catbird thinks he owns the place
And maybe he is right
