A SMOKE SCREEN,

Everything indicates that Governor Cox has
lnJudiciously grabbed bear by the tail and
holds on desperately, aware that it would be
very dangerous to let go. His predicament
compels him to reiterate his charges and in sup
port of them he mentions some names of rich
men and big corporations as among the sub
scribers to what he calls the s'Boss Barnes
fund - in New York. What they contributed he
does not say. But that is no proof Anybody
could get up such a list of prominent citizens
who come to mind and accuse them of subscrib-
ing to fund for any purpose. It would be just
as easy to list as many of Governor Cox's adj
herents and credit them with purpose to buy
the presidency" for their favorite Evidently
the governor is trying to produc smoke screen
under the cover of which he can safely let go
OF his bear. But the people want something
more conclusive. IF the governor has any facts
the senate committee should have summoned
him to produce them. He is only a citizen like
the rest of us. His nomination invests him with
no sanctity nor does it set him above the law
He should have been asked, as other citizens
are, to testify under oath to anything he knows

Democratic Propaganda AI,ysvs.

Des Moines Capital: George Creeps
work during the war was purely dem
ocratic propaganda. It cost over
S4,O00,0o0. This money was not paid
from the democratic national treasury
of the United States government. The
democratic party during the war tried
TO keep propaganda going in order that
the field might be prepared for another
democratic administration. Every
cabinet officer had his own orona-
ganda going and when the republican
congress passed an act cutting out
the departmental propaganda sent out
pretendedly in the interest of the
government, but really in the interest
of the democratic party, President
Wilson vetoed the bill He gave as
his reason that it fnterfered with the
rights of the executive President
Wilson has failed to find an excuse

cox's One Idea.

! Chicago Tribune: While Mr.. Har
ding remains physically in his home
in Marion, Mr.. Cox remains mentally
in his ward in Dayton His cam
paign has not yet attained the stand
ard which would be expected if he
were merely running for governor of
Ohio again It is hardly above the
ward level He might be endeavor-
ing to be elected ward committeeman.
Possibly the issues of the national
campaign are embarrassing and Mr.
Cox may wish to avoid them as much
as possible. His attack upon VIII
Hays, republican national chairman.
over campaign funds, after his charges
against the republicans exploded, may
reveal man trying to get hold of any
thing which will divert attention from
the questions before the people in the
election. He has narrowed his cam
paign down to one point-if the
American people elect Harding they
are corrupt.

CAN NOT BE IGNORED.

] The Providence Journal makes the dlrec'
charge that Franklin D. Roosevelt has de
Istroyed or sequestered navy records in order te
shield himself or Secretary Daniels This is
a direct and unqualified charge coming from a
newspaper that is noted throughout the country
for its conservatism and sanity. It was the
Providence Journal that unearthed the evidence
of German intrigue in this country, long prior
to the entrance of this country into the war, and
it placed the evidence in the hands of an appar-
entity reluctant administration It was the
Providence Journal that forced congressional
investigation of the immoral methods of the
navy department in the conduct of affairs at the
naval station at Newport, Rhode Islnd. Mr.
Roosevelt can hardly ignore direct charge of
such a character coming from such source.

THE FAMILY" OF NATIONS.

We have heard much Of late about the fam
ily'' OF nations but is there any such thingg L
the word IN that connection properly used' A
family is d group connected by name or blood
or other sign Of kinship, body claiming de
scent from common progenitors, class ag,
grcgation OF things having common character
istIcs. 1t is proper to speak Of the human fam
ily, as the scripture does of all the families of
earth or Of 1.-The whole family in heaven and
carLh:'' but have the nations Of the world any
characteristics in common that can be said to
make family OF them? Families as we know
them have heads, Or prestige of authority
focused somewhere; and Mr.. Wilson's super
state might be considered as making a family
cut Of the nations that submitted to it. There
IS & family Of English-speaking nations; but
ran nations not of the same race, language, in,
s4ltUtIons, traditions be said to constitute a
family?
People who build hopes upon the league or
take It seriously as an instrumentality of peace
seem apparently 10 imagine that nations di-
verse II their aims and their development will
see things the same and act in accord to com
mon ends as families do, or should Upon mat
teTs Of negligible moment they might agree; but
would they IN vital matters where their interests
as natlonalItes were concernedf The European
AlelaoeFs OF the league are not II agreement up
on any important question, but on the contrary
are SO discordant that it is felt to be futile to
submit any policy to them And if the United
States were member, there would be even less
harmony, for we a separated people, indi-.
vlduahstic to an extraordinary degree, and
have lew aspirations, interests or perils in COIN
mon with old world states
Does anyone imagine that congress wonld in

It's OWN we would throw our moral weight
where we teis that 1t should be thrown. But we
can 90 this while standing apart, and it will

Cox and Liquor Interests.

Mitchell Republican: The Ohio
governor has had much to say about
the frank and unequivocal manner in
which he has declared himself on the
league of nations. This shows that
he does not know how to use the Eng
lish language so as to make clear his
position on public question. It. is
suggested that he disavow the support
OF the liquor interests, if he dares to
do so. If he does not, then he must
be regarded as the candidate of those
who hope to restore the liquor traffic

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Anamosa Eureka: To turn from
the quiet, serious utterances of Mr..
Harding to the blatant and vitupera.
tive rantings of Mr.. Cox is like turn
ing from the book of master to the
trashy contents of yellow-back
novel, or again from old gold to
tinsel or from the masterpiece of a
musical genius to the roar of jazz
band. In other words. as between
the addresses of the two men there
is nothing by way of comparison.
| Perry Chief: If one-tenth OF the
money wasted by the democrats on
useless harbors and factories in the
south, on shipyards and on canton
iments had been saved for the pur-
pose, both parties would have had
enough to conduct their campaigns
and pay good sized sum on the
national debt.
Marshalltown es-Republican
Governor Cox, candidate for the
presidency, stands in most unenvi-
able position before the American
voters He has utterly failed to sup
port his assertions. There are sew
eral classifcations and terms apple
able to persons who circulate or pub
;licly assert untruths against others
or against organizations. Theodore
Roosevelt cut it short and summed
1t up in a short, comprehensive,
though ugly, Anglo-Saxon word.
| Des Moines Register: Anyhow, the
democrats on the Cox band wagon
cannot complain that Bill Bryan is
digging his elbows into their ribs.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Not very
much was known of either Harding
or Cox before they were nominated
by their respective parties for presi-
dent. It is rapidly becoming clear
now that the republican choice fell
upon a ievelheaded statesman while
the democrats in their convention
happened to choose man who is
just politician.
Cedar Rapids Republican: Mr.. Nc
Cutcheon has done something tnat IS
worth a deal more than many
speeches. In one of his cartoons he
had two swords crossed to indicate
article 10 of the league Of nations.
That was clever, eloquent-and yet
SO simple that the wonder is that
some did not think of it before. That
little illustration tells the whole
truth about that article, which Mr..
Wilson has defined as the heart of
the covenant.

Users
DO This--Get the
Greatest Benefits

Chicago, Ill.-Thousands of reports
from people all over the U. S. who
have tested Eatonic, show the greatest
benefits are obtained by using it for o
few weeks, taking one or two tablets
after each meal.
Eatonic users know that it stops
Belching. Bloating, Heartburn, and
Stomach Aiiseries quickly, but the
really lasting benefits are obtained by
using Eatonic long enough to take the
harmful excess acids and gases entire
ly out of the system. This requires a
little time. for Eatonic takes up the
excess acidity andspoisons and carries
them out of the body and of course,
when 1t is all removed. the sufferer gets
well, feels fine-full of life and pep.
If you have been taking an Eatonic
now and then. be sure and take it regu-
larly for time and obtain all of these
wonderful benefits. Please speak to
your druggist about this. so that he can
