Listen, Governor.

Now that we have Governor Cox
speech Of acceptance, we are able to
determine the issues on which the bat
tie is to be joined until election.
League or no league? Taxes? Who
is to blame for them? And all kinds
of subjects that he must refer to as a
matter of course.
But the solution Of the vital rela-
lions between capital and labor is abb
sent, as is the case in all political
parties of today. Strange, is it not ?
that such stress should be laid on idle
capital and idle labor, but not an iota
of reference to IDLE LAND! What
do these blind leaders imagine they
can accomplish as statesmen to pro-
mote the happiness and prosperity of
the people? They are so anxious to
relieve the people of tax burdens with
out the slightest care for the exac-
tons of those who absorb the benefits
of reduced taxation as fast as the
taxes are reduced. A literal case Of
saving at the spigot and leaking at the
bunghole. How can we get the great
truth to the people? Only by educa-
tion Here a little and there a little
Drop by drop day after day until the
majority of workers have become
thinkers as well as wealth producers.
The danger lies in falsehood and the
dissemination of RED lies as we'll as

Thoughts Of Today
Lack of Intellect.

Some people know how to read and
write, but they don't know how to
think. This is the most difficult of
all problems that we face today The
trouble with many is their lack of log
ic. Ninety-five per cent of the jokes
in the funny papers are based on this
phase of human nature. Sancho Panza
always managed to arrive at a safe
conclusion, in spite of his absurd meth
DDS of reasoning, because his logic was
basically sound. Unless the fOunda-
ton is secure no solid and enduring
structure can be erected. Logic pro-
duces building out of the imagina-
ton. Religion is worse than atheism
If based on false idea. Society can
be saved only by radicalism-that is,
by going to the root of the trouble in
order to devise remedy. What do we
think of doctor who diagnoses a dis
ease by examining the patients pocket
book? And that is exactly what our
professional politicians do when they
call attention to the enormous per
capita wealth of the United States as
an evidence of prosperity.

Improved Aluminium,

A curious new form of aluminium
has been attracting attention in
France. When the pure metal is heat
ed in a vacuum. 81 per cent of it is
slowly volatilzed in 73 hours at about
LOO degrees Centigrade; and the
whole is volatilized in 80 hours at
1,2OO degrees centigrade.' A small por-
ton always proves less volatile than
the rest. Quite often a kind of frac-
tional distillation yields an aluminium
residue that has increased affinity for
oxygen, and within a month this is
completely changed into a bulky gray
ish-white mixture of alumina and
aluminium. One suggestion is that i'm
purities Of iron or silicon impart this
popularity. But analysis shows only
four per cent Of iron and five per cent
of silicon, and the form Of metal so
readily oxidized proves, therefore, to
be purer than the aluminium used for
kitchen utensils and various other pur-
poses with no tendency to become oxi-
died. 1t is concluded that the easily
osidized metals an allotropic form

CANDIDATES AND PLATFORM.

Getting at the facts in the present
Presidential cmapaign seems harder as
the days go by. The case Is without
a parallel in all American history.
No other situation was anywhere like
it. The two great parties have each
announced their principles, and the
platforms each declared for what the
party was to stand Yet in the face OF
all this we find the press of the coun
try putting new and different intel
pretations upon the facts, as much so
as ever there was about a proper un
derstanding of the now famous Article
10 Of the League of Nations. Candi-
date Harding said he was against the
League; his platform clearly decides
against it, except in nullified form. The
Democratic platform and the candi.
dates. speech of acceptance both de-
clare in unequivocal terms in favor OF
the League. But the opposition party
press insists that Cox has never de-
clared in favor of the League. So far
have these tactics gone that only last
Sunday the sturdy old stalwart New
York Tribune said, in speaking of the
position of Mr.. Cox on the League,
"Nor did the Governor (Cox) say any
thing pertinent when he exclaimed 1
To- n Wy
He does not state. He lodges" Now
this is exactly the opposite of the
truth. Governor Cox said he favored
"going in the League" That is what
he said in telling the difference be-
tween his stand and Mr.. Harding's,
who, he said, wanted to "stay OUT
(meaning the League), while he (CoX)
wanted to go in.
The truth of all these political mix
ups is that the League of Nations is
before the people in the 'great and
solemn referendum" as suggested by
President Wilson, and the Republicans
are trying to satisfy both wings of the
party by playing both ends against the
middle. Hiram Johnson would have
remained an "unreconcilable" had not
the platform declared against the
League. So Mr.. Harding has to adopt
some means of satisfying all senti-
ment. His one great trouble is his
straddle. This is not creditable to his
reputation nor to his strategy. 1t is a
weakened policy. The League of
Nations is the one big issue, no matter
what anybody says.

ed in over his markings on the sands,
and they were lost. Just IL years ago
he heard Of the competition for the
Bahai temple. He mortgaged his home,
and bought small confectionery
store which his wife, an artist, ran
while he worked. BAHIA % rlah,
founder Of Bahaism, had adopted nine
as the symbolic number Of his re-
ligious movement, and said his temples
should have nine sides, with as many
equal gates for the nine great world
religions he wished to unite In one
temple.
Bourgeoise sketched the idea; but
he had to put it In plaster, as he did
not know how to carve. So one Sum-
day friend taught him. And then
he carved the three stories one by one,
designing the second only after the
first was completed, and the third only
when details of the second were final.
His model took first prize. And it is
probable that Abul Bahai, present
pontiff Of Bahaism, will come to Chi
cago to live.

pig clubs, canning clubs and poultry
clubs have aroused great interest
among boys and girls wherever they
have been organized the country over.
It is related that in Oklahoma scrub
poultry is rapidly disappearing from
the state to make way for purebred
stock. the keen activity Of children
In growing chickens according to the
most enlightened methods having much
to do with the movement. Fifteen
thousand children are said to be or.
ganized in poultry clubs, and a poul-
try show with numerous prizes Is held
In nearly every school district. All
the people of the vicinity come to the
displays and much interest is taken
In them. In North Carolina and
Georgia boys have organized corn
clubs to quite an extent; both boys
and girls have tried their skill at the
cultivation of various vegetables, and
girls have done much canning of the
products of their gardens. 1t invaria-
bly, surprises the elders greatly to dis
cover how expert their children be-
come In all these activities and how
eager they are to pursue them, when
