is composed largely of cavalry with
detachments of infantry for occupa-
ton of the various centers and ar
tillery merely as precautionary
measure. The neutral zone occupied
presents no interest whatever from
the poit of view of military strategy
and hence the force has been limited

I've watched the cever-minded an the ones that
thought they were
The pleasure seekin' mortals an the idle gossiper,
An I've noticed at the finish, after all the fuss
an boast,
That the chap who works the hardest is the one
who gets the most.

Oh there's times it's hot fot hoein' an there's
days the fish'll bite,
But the field that's been neglected never does

An what is true of farmin' must be true at
every post,
It's the chap who works the hardest that will
always get the most.
You can't make hay by loafn', it's been tried by

HUMBUG FROM OHIO.

There is not voter in the country, in either
party, who does not believe that both sets of cam
pagn managers equally anxious to get as many
subscribers to supply money possible, and to get
as large total is at all likely to be raised
There certainly more individuals ready to aid
than ever before and it is a good indication that
republicans are confident OF financing with less aid
from the money metropolis of New York than was
given to both parties in former campaigns. If peo-
pie all the country give according to their
and interest the parties will have less tempta
ton to accept large sums from enterprises and in
dividuas with favors to ask in return.
All of us who seek the blessings Of improved
government can wisely help pay the cost of getting
it and doubtless would reap benefits from welfare
of the country.
II know many men are making contributions to
the republican campaign fund" Governor Cox told
the National Democratic club at q luncheon, "for
the purpose of using the bayonet to settle industrial
difficulties"
The gentlemen of the Cox campaign committee,
when they testify before the senate committee, do
not seem to take much stock in Coxs demagogic
declaration that republicans planning to get
money from big interests buy bayonets and elect
somebody TO ensave the people.
Chairman White, whom Cox picked for the place
from which the competent Cummings was frozen out,
says that he knows little of any proofs and after al
talk with Cox apparently considered the feature dan
gerous So he testified that he told Cox "You are
the boss. to it yourself if you wish to whoop up
that stuff" OR words to that effect
On this subject Cox talks like soapbox socialist
trying to start Bolshevst revolution. He knows
better, but would say almost anything to win. The
soap box set will shout with joy such talk about
gun-getting to enslave bread-winners. But sens
BILE citizens regardless of party will in such talk
from the millionaire candidate only evidence of in
sincerity and inability to understand that the people
are not so easily mised.
Governor Cox is throwing up a cloud of dust in
the hope that he may not have to dwell the league
of nations issue.
On that question he knew well as any other
intelligent citizen that he the defensive
and that he losing ground every day
He sought an opening for the offensive and he
believes he has found it in the straw-man he has
set up about campaign funds.
