There may be some dispute and
some debate about the exactness Of
Governor Cox's figures Of the Re-
publican slush fund, but there can
be no denial Of the fact that he has
shown by official Republican docu-
ments that commercialism is writ
ten all over, the Republican cam
paign - organized commercialism.
"Boys, get the money" is the refrain
that runs through every line Of the
Republican campaign.
Harding and Coolidge have the
confidence of the people-but, boys,
get the money. The platform is
sound enough to hold the weight of

THE sHRINEs OF GOVERNMENT

"The shrines of government are
in the communities of the land" In
this one sentence, fresh from his
heart and brain, Governor Cox
shows more real Americanism, more
sympathy with the visions and ideals
of our country than can be found
in all the deliberate utterances and
calculated phrases Senator Harding
ever wrote or spoke.
1t is in the communities of the
land-the small country commune
ties as well as in the great metro
politan cities-that the shrines of
government, the affairs of patriot
ism, the councils of Americanism,
are found.
1t is not in great organizations,
not in theatrical leagues or political
clubs that the foundations of our
nation are laid. 1t is in the quiet
homes, on farms, in the villages and
towns, as well as in cities, that the
broad and deep basis of the fabric
of our nation is laid.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1920-09-21

the nation = but, boys, get the
money!
This is simply another example OF
Republican reaction. 1t is back to
Dudley's CLOCKS Of five;" it's re-
turn to Quay's shaking the plum
tree"
The general staff of the Repub-
bean party in their plan of cam
paign do not rely on appeals to rea-
son, to patriotism and right; they
rely on money. The candidate is a
great and good man--but, boys, get
the money; America first-out,
boys, get the money; an Understand
ing amongst the nations OF the
world is great and glorioas-eot,
boys, get the money.
Too many American boys have re-

CANADA TO FURNISH

Shortage in U. s. Causes Dominion to Get Busy--Big Output Forecasted

 Edmunton. Alta, Oct. 30.-The serious coal situation in the United States from which western Canada imports much of it's fuel, has led to a survey of the Alberta coal fields which, when properly developed, it is said will make the Dominion inde- pendent of the outside sources of supply
 The Alberta coal fields, according to of all kinds of coal, from the hardest anthracite to the softest bitumnous. This is one-seventh of the worlds available coal supply and S7 per cent of all the coal known to exist in Can ada. The Alberta fields lie, in great part, contagious to the Canadian Ma tional Railway lines, which furnish convenient market facilities.
 Western Canada, which from the days of the earliest settlement, has im- ported a large percenage of it's coal from the eastern fields of the United States" said J. L. Cote, minister of Mines, requires 9,000,000 tons annu- ally. Last December lS,000 men We're working in the Alberta mines and produced 7S8,000 tons of coal. If they had worked thru the year they would have mined from 8,000,000 to l0,000.000 tons. There is equipment lat present to produce 12,000,O00 tons Ia year. Production has speeded up materially since the coal situation in the United States became critical and a winter shortage in western Canada seemed in prospect. Western Canada should be able to declare it's indepen- dence of the United States in the mat ter of fuel at least by the end of next year"
