COX WOULD REPEAT
WILSON MISTAKES
People are Tired of Theoretical
Government, Of Waste and
0ver-taxation

The following is taken from the
American Economist, one of the we'll
known financial publications, which is
issued in New York City. II is given
to our readers without comment:
Woodrow Wilson is for the League
Of Nations--his League. Candidate
Cox says, "Me too" Woodrow Wilson
does not propose to have any reserva-
tions. Candidate Cox says, "Me, too"
Woodrow Wilson said he was willing
to allow Interpretations" Candi-
date Cox says, "Me, too" But that is
what we all expect when the candidate
went TO Washington on Sunday to get
his orders. He needed the Wilson in
fiuence or he was "gone Cox"
By his speech accepting the Demo-
cratic nomination, Candidate Cox
shows himself an adroit politician. He
lodges every real issue except the
League of Nations, touching upon GER
tain questions upon which there is
practical unanimity between the two
parties. On the subject of the League
of Nations he had no choice. He must
swallow the Wilson policy, shook, line
and sinker," or face defeat" Probably
he thought to catch some votes by
conceding that Interpretations"
would be acceptable, but the people
have been fed up on Interpretations"
by Mr.. Wilson. Anyone who has any
knowledge of law knows that an Gin
depreciation" cannot operate to
change the League Covenant We may
make all the Interpretations" we see
fit, but what we agree to do is en-
bodied in the Covenant itself, and we
agree to everything contained in the
Covenant unless we expressly make
reservations" Mr.. Wilson knows
that, he is not fit man for the presi-
dency.
Mr.. Cox's acceptance speech makes
it plain that the Wilsonian policies
will be continued if the Democratic
candidate shall win. The country has
/ had enough of anti-Americanism
enough of one-man government, e.
nough Of super-government propa-
ganda, enough Of attempts to nullify
the Monroe Doctrine, enough Of over
taxation, under-production and gov
ernmental extravaganza, enough of
Free-Trade which enriches foreigners
at our own expense. We have had
enough of amateurish, Of theoretical
government. We want a surcease of
it. Instead, we want n government

ENTERPRISE GETS
BASEBALL OPINION
Manager Of Spalding's Salt Lake
Store Gives Opinion Against
ths Ged~ Team

In compliance with the request Of
II. Grant WINS, captain Of the Entsr-
prise baseball team, we publish the
following opinion Of Freeman Bassstt
of Salt Lake City as to the status Of
a baseball player who has been taken
out Of the game and is returned to It.
Mr.. Bassett's opinion is in no sense
official, and cannot be taken as settl-
ing the question that arose between
the two teams Of Cedar and Entsr-
prise during their last game. at Cedar.
Whatever is the correct ruling, we
should like to publish it. Mr.. Bassetfs
letter follows:
II. Grant WINS, Enterprise, Utah,
Dear Sir: fregret to advise you
that we have sold our entire supply
Of baseball guides for this season and
will have no more until next spring
take pleasure in answering yorr
question.
The rules distinctly state that q
player who has been removed from
the game cannot return to play. That
is final and without appeal. From
the moment the ineligible player en-
tered the game the team at fault was
disqualified from further participation
In league game such thing as you
describe would be impossible because
it would be instantly noted that the
player had returned to the game when
he had no legal right to do so. The
rule covering batting out Of turn
would not apply in this case because
the batter was not in the game any
more than if a spectator should have
come down out of the grand stand
and gone to the bat. It is our OPP
inion that the team at fault forfeits
the game.
Yours truly, A. G. Spalding G. Bros.
by Freeman Bassett.

A SUBSOLAR NOVELTY

NNE man has been found who ac-
~ tually yearns to be Vice President
of the United States. He is former
Senator James Hamilton Lewis, who
has been killing time in Chicago since
Medill Mccormick nudged him out OF
his seat at the recent senatorial cleo
tion.
Mr.. Lewis is running his own cam
paign at San Francisco. He is willing to
accept the vice presidency without any
of the gestures of brave abnegation or
any of the groans of pretended martyr
dom that mention of the Office brings
from other ambitious politicians. And
since a vice president has little to do but
walk around and appear beautiful Jim
Ham probably feels that America was
discovered by Columbus, that the Rcvo-
lutiOnary War was fought, that the Dec
laration of Independence was signed and
the Constitution written TO put him in
a job for which he is ideally fitted.
But Democrats know too well how
to Illustrate even the most ambitious
plans of Providence. They will not
nominate Mr.. Lewis. lie dresses too
well. By his spats and his ties he sug
gests the gayeties Of Europe and carries
with him dim, disquicting suggestions of

THAT CLOAK OF ISOLATION

CIX years ago today the American
- public read with comparative indif-
ference the cabled accounts of an as.
sassination in a town with an unpro-
nounceable name. The victim was the
Archduke Francis Ferdinand. heir ap-
parent of the Austro Hungarian throne
the place of his death was the Bosnian
capital, Sarajevo. With the TulinG
dynasty of the Hapsburgs we were Sc
renely unconcerned. In the imbrogiio OF
the distant Balkans we were proudly
uninterested.
Later. amid n world Cataclysm, il
was proved that our cloak Of isolation
was sham. 1t might be profitable to-
day for Americans who believe thai

mantle of seclusion which some propos,

RURAL DELUSIONS

DOCTOR FURBUSH'S vivid picture
- of the dangers of vacation time in
the country is somewhat shocking to
untamed poetic imaginations. THE
country pump, unprotected from con-
tamination round about it, has been
condemned" declares the realistic health
director "time and again. The haphaz-
ard disposal of garbage, unprotected
from the disease bearing fly, together
with the mosquito breeding rain barrel,
all add to the objections lodged against
the insanitary farmhouse.
About % per cent of the typhoid
fever cases which occur in the city every
fall are caused" he adds, by infec-
tions among vacationists. By way Of
cheerful contrast the public is invited
to consider "our congested sections, "
where "the water supply, sewage and
garbage disposal are under expert san
itary direction

Doctor Furbush's Reputation of the

The fact is that there Is nothing the
