WILL NOT ALLOW
COX TO SIDESTEP
ISSUE, SAYSG. o. P.
Up to Candidate to Repudiate
Or Justify Waste Of Ad-
ministration.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. 14.-(Special
Teleeram) declaring that Mr.. Cox
is seeking to dodge the "wanton
waste" and criminal extravaganza"
OF the Wilson administration, Chair
man James w. Good of the house
appropriations committee, in charge
of the speakers bureau at republi-
can headquarters here, said the DEM
ocratic candidate would not be al
lowed to evade it.
Not only the Wilson league, but
the "maladministration of finances"
by the democratic party will be is
sues, asserted Mr.. Good.
Neither parties nor men make
political issues" said Mr.. Good.
They but formulate the issues. Un-
questionably the league of nations.
as presented by the president, will
continue to be one of big issues in
the campaign, but there are other
issues in the minds of great many
of our people. The issues of waste
and extravaganza of the Wilson ad-
ministration are paramount.
Mr.. Cox is attempting to evade
them and the responsibilities of his
party for the mismanagement of
the governments affairs. The peo-
pie are feeling the burden of heavy
taxes. They know that during the
last three years they have paid into
the treasury, in taxes and the pur-
chase of government bonds, more
than $40,000,000,000.
"Mr. Cox will be called upon,
either TO repudiate the wanton waste
and all-around criminal extrava-
gance of the Wilson administration
or to explain or to justify it. / re-
gard this as one of the big issues of
the campaign and one that is
troubling Cox and Franklin D.

James J. Montague, whose daily

utor to The Omaha Bee, daily and
Sunday, beginning tomorrow.
No enc who knows James J

Jimmy" And more people fell al

tague than the average person ever
sees in lifetime.
He is the most widely circulated
and the most widely circulating
poet in the United States. Since the
death of James Whitcomb Riley no
American verse writer has enjoyed
greater popularity.
For years Montague accom-
pllshed the seemingly impossible
task of mixing the oil of poesy with
the troubled waters of politics.
Theodore Roosevelt used to
Jimmy" him at will SO do Presi-
dent Wilson and Joe Tumulty and
Senator Hi" Johnson and hundreds
OF other political celebrities. A big
convention without Jimmy" Mon
tague at the press table would seem
scarcely legal. He had the reputa-
tion of being one of the greatest po-
litical reporters III the country. He
was a Star" man at the peace con-
ference.
incidentally, Montague represents
the highest cost of poetry that this
country has seen in quite a spell.

"The great tragedy Of the hour is
that there are so many people who
call themselves respectable who have

IF that is what democracy does for

NOTES IN TOE OF
|AUBBY'S SHOES
Tidiness After "Party" Rouses
Suspicion-Carbon Copies
of Replies Also In
"Leather FiIe.' ~
BY international News Service,

New York, Aug. 14.-When Louis
S. Diamond returned from a six
months business trip to the middle
west in February, 1917, his wife,
Celia, gave him a welcome home
party.
What followed is recited in her
affidavit, filed in 4 separation suit.
1t should serve as a warning that
the toe of shoe is no place for a
married man to hide love letters.
Diamond, who is auditor OF film
exchange, admitted, his wife asserts
in her suit, that he loved the "other
woman"
Her affidavit of events following
her husbands welcome home party
reads:
Tidiness Rouses Wife.
Every early the next morning I
noticed my husbands socks neatly
folded over the tops of his shoes,
placed in corner of the room. This
tidiness and precision being SO un-
usual a sight, my suspicious were
aroused"
Her curiosity excited, she felt in
side the shoes and found a wallet in
the toe of one.
The wallet contained letters from
Miss Emma A. Guenthner of Kan
sas City, where Mrs. Diamond says
she found her husband had spent a
great deal of his time.
Carbon Copy Replies.
With Miss Guenthner's billet
doux Diamond had placed carbon
copies of his replies. A number Of
photos of Miss Guenthner and Dia-
mond were also found.
Copies of this affectionate corre-
spondence are incorporated in affi-
davits supporting Mrs. Diamonds
demand for alimony pending trial,
filed by her attorney.
Miss Guenthner wrote in one letter
quoted by Mrs. Diamond:
Believe me, darling, no man has
ever SO far in my life held me SO
closely to him as you, and as to the
future, l have pledged myself to you.
| often wonder, when am all tucked
away in my little bed, why l should
love you so.
Dear, | must ask you, is your
hair so shiny black? How | long
TO grab that pretty head. Well,
what's the use to crave for such
thing? Should | not be satisfied that
| can do that when you come my
way and haven't you said you were
coming?"
From her husbands carbon copy
of his reply Mrs. Diamond quotes:
Here's What He Wrote.
my Own Precious Darling: You
are by far the dearest little woman
i'll the world to me. You precious.
1t seems to me that my hair is the
same as when you saw me last, but
no one but yourself seemed to pay
any attention to it. You can do your
will with it when you see me.
in closing. dear, want to assure
you that / love you with all my
heart and soul and want so much to
be with you. Until death do us part,
| am, dear, always, your own loving
boy"
Mrs. Diamond says that her hus-
band, after his return from Kansas
City, used to walk around the house
wearing his hat so as to preserve his
shiny" hair. She says he admitted
that he loved Miss Guenthner and re-
marked: Love has no bounds.

To Keep Wolf From

Big Stone Gap, Va, Aug. IA
Parson Tolliver Simpson has been q
circuit rider" in the mountains ol
Virginia, West Virginia and Ken.
trcky for ligh on to 40 years. Regu.
larry, with the phases of the moon
Parson Simpson ON his bony OLD
nag could be seen winding through
the valleys to the little settlements
carrying the Gospel to the mountain
folks, administering to their ills, il
such hardy folk were down." and
carrying them supplies from the out,
side world.
And so the parson was beloved oi
the mountain folk. But now the
parson hasn't made a visit to the
folk down in the valleys for several
weeks. His swallow-tailed coat
and top hat no more are seen bob
bing up and down on his boupc-
ing old sorrel. The parson has
found a "bar hole" as the saying
goes, and is staying thar. And
Bud Barrow, who came to town the
other day, went. back to his clan
with the information that the parson
had fallen from grace.
It's a queer story.
The parson, it seemed, began to
feel the high cost of living, even
though he always had bunk and a
meal at any of the mountain cabins
he visited. But he long had been in
close touch with poverty and in
helping others had no time to help
himself. Then he had the germ
of {. great idea.
He would sell coffee.
The parson made all the little
mountain towns selling coffee, and
only once in a month or so would he
go back to the mountains to carry
the truth"
Coffee Becomes Popular.
He bought himself a jolt wagon
and though the old sorrel baked, in
dignant at having to pull something,
he went on. Coffee became popular
in the towns outside the hills and
the parson went farther into the
larger places. The demand for
Java" became greater and greater.
Then the parson came to grief.
He sold some of the coffee to a
"revonoor" one day. The purchaser
found bottle of white liquid amid
the coffee beans. He tasted. Hoop!
1t made him tingle, that moonshinc
did.
Tie parson still is in his "bar

GIRL STOWAWAY
WANTS TO STUDY
A R I IN EUROPE
But Stern Captain Who Found
Her in First Class Cabin
Pays No Heed to
Plea.

New York. Aug: 14.-"Oh, please
let me stay on this ship until l reach
the other side, where l can complete
my art studies, and 1 promise you
l shall reimburse the company for
my passage at the earliest opportun-
ity."
This pathetic appeal was addressed
by a beautiful, modistly gowned
young woman to the purser of the
ship New Rochelle, bound for Dam
zig, Poland, when the official. max
ing his customary rounds, collecting
passage tickets and inspecting pass
ports, found her in frst-class cabin
which had not been booked.
Addresses Fictitious.
She was unable to produce either
passport, ticket or money. She gave
her name as Maxine Douglas and
supplied several addresses, all of
which subsequent investigation
proved fictitious.
"All my life | have been passion
ately devoted to art" Miss Douglas
continued, tears starting from her
lustrous eyes, land I just must get
to Europe and finish my studies so
that ! may realize my life's ambi-
ton. I have learned all | can over
here. I know l did wrong coming
on this ship as / did without ticket
or money, but l was driven by my
love for art"
Captain Basiux was summoned to
the cabin and listened patiently to
the young woman's plea.
II am very sorry, mademoiselle," "
he said, but | cannot keep you on
my ship"
The vessel was by this time a con-
siderable distance beyond Quaran-
tine. and the mode of getting rid
of the self-constituted passenger be-
came a problem until it was discov-
cred that the ship must "lay to" three
or four hours while its compasses
were adjusted.
- Captain Basiux wirelessed New
York for police aid. - Miss Douglas
was taken off the liner and brought
back to the waterfront police sta
tion, where she was set at liberty
after being questioned. She quickly
effected disappearance.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Washington, Aug. l4.-Control of
cable telegraph systems, now largely
in the hands of Great Britain, may
be entirely revolutionized and the
way opened for greater degree OF
American activity i'll this field, as a
result of the international conference
on wireless and cable communication
to be held here next month. The
British established their control of
the avenues of cable communication
by pioneer enterprisess in laying
cables under long-term concessions
granted by multitude Of countries,
which concessions exclude compe-
tition. The aim of the International
conference is to establish an inter-
national agreement removing the re-
straint on competition, defining prop
erty rights in cables and enunciating
the principles of international and
national regulation of cable and
wireless communication.
Pending the deliberations of this
conference the United States gov
ernmenut recently refused to issue
a permit to the Western Union Tele-
graph company to land at Miami,
Fla, the American end of the new
cable the Western Telegraph COM
pany, a British concern, proposes to
lay between the United States and

Destroyers Prevent Landing.
TO prevent the landing Of the
cable without a permit. Secretary
of Navy Daniels rushed FIVE de-
stroyers to Miami to intercept
British cable laying ship. The
destroyers reached the scene of
action and with due ceremony the
American commander went aboard
the British cable layer and COM
municated the warning of the Amer.
ican government to commit no in
vasion of American soil with the end
Of the submarine telegraph wire. But
the cable layer already had re-
ceived wireless message from Sir
Eric Geddes, British ambassador to
the United States, instructing him
to take himself hence pending a
settlement of the question.
In view of the readiness with
which the British ambassador acted
as soon as the matter was brought
to his attention, and in view of the
tolerance with which the Wilson
administration has treated serious
iuvasions of American sovereignty
that would have justified even more
