The Other Three

Ohio's recent history shows in de-

the workmen'S compensation law, the
adjustment of child labor, the wild

system. These have not brought the
millennium, but they are fine things
and brighten the record of the man
who fathered them. They have gained
for Cox the respect of men and will
strengthen the trust of women.
