Gin The Days News

Governor James NJ Cox of Ohio, who
IS the latest to announce his candi
dacy for the Democratic presidential
domination, has a strong grip on the
confidence of the people of his own sec
ton at least, else he would not have
been thrice elected governor of com
monwealth normally Republican SINCE
the civil war. He was farmer s son,
crew up in complete knowledge of ru-
raj life. found his first vocation in
journalism, and in the course of time
rose from being composftor repor-
ter and editor, to ownership of papers
in Cincinnati, Springfield and Dayton.
His success as lawmaker and represen-
tative in Congress led the voters of
the Third district to re-elect him; and
on the record he there made he was
elected governor of Ohio in 1913 and
held the Office through 1924. Dropping
| out year he came back in 1916 with
the Democratic landslide, and two years
| later he was reelected.

barre Times.

1t is very regrettable fact that one
who stood so high in the esteem of all
citizens of the state and one who had
served it so acceptably for so long a
period as auditor of accounts and as
governor as had Horace +. Graham,
should be found guilty of the larceny
of the funds he handled while auditor.
The Times does not wish it to be in
ferred by this statement that the YER
dict is anything but true finding of
the facts. 1t is to be regretted because
it is true. And because it is true, one
ought to have only sympathy for the
former governor whose one weakness
has brought no material harm or loss to
anyone in the state, but which has cast
a shadow over the good name of Vermont
|and a darker one over his own. But he
may yet be able to retrieve his good
name and in so doing help to remove
the shadow cast ON the state by his
former acts.

THOSE EUROPEAN LOANS.

One of the most instructive statements
of the question of the United States
its loans of nearly ten bill
lion dollars to European countries Isl
given BY Frank H. Simonds in copy
righted letter to the Boston Herald He
saws the European opinion is that the
war was as much Americas as Europes
and that America has not done its share
in fighting or financing the war. 1t is
pointed out that the victory has cost
France 100000 lives, the British en-
pire 100000 and the United States less
than 100000.
Mr.. Simonds further asserts that the
expectation of further contributions by
America has been created by statements
Of Americans in Europe last year, which
led Europe to expect America was pre-
pared to become full partner in the new
league of nations firm and was ready to
put its capital and credit into the bust
ness without stint. Europe now expects
the deeds that our words seemed to
promise.
There is a different view in America
Americans feel that in entering the wal
they saved France and Great Britain
from actual defeat and has actually
saved Europe from destruction by the
| immense contributions of food anc
smoney they have made to the starving
and suffering countries. They do mo-
feel we owe Europe SlO,OOO,0OO,OO0 be
! cause of what it did for us. New
Hampshire man has well expressed TIL
American feeling as follows: 1--WE fee
around here that we have got thos
European nations out of their troubl
and now it is up to them to keep out Q
trouble in the future"

Comments ON the Graham Case

ditor The general hope was that In
some proper and just manner it would
be found that mistake had been made
and that this man, who had held such a
high position in the esteem of his fell
lows, would upon trial be cleared of the
charges made against him.
Yet Horace Graham could not estAb-
lish his innocence Indeed, it was not
necessary for him to do so. The bur
den of proof was upon the state, and
the state was able to overcome, to the
satisfaction of the u men, tried and
true, who. after careful selection. were
chosen to sit in Judgment upon the facts
presented, the presumption of innocence
which always does battle in favor of the
respondent.
After what one may assume to have
been a full and fair trial in which his in
terests were under the care of three of the
most skilful attorneys in New England
Horace Graham stands convicted. This
is enough in itself to establish the war
rant of those newspapers which have
insisted through thick and thin that this
respondent must be put upon his trial
exactly as any other man who has been
indicted in our courts by grand Jury.
+ Some people have seemed to think
that the reputation of the state of Yer
mont would be besmirched by such trial
No such thing The besmirching would
have come had the state revealed &
moral tone so debased that it would have
been content to let this matter drop. But
Vermonters kept their true perspectiv,
and insisted, that the former trusted
official be brought into court to answe
for his alleged crimes
Had this not been done it would hav,
been the state of Vermont who woulC
have stood convicted in the eyes of jus
tiee loving men of having committed
far. greater crime than that of which Nh
Graham has been convicted, the Grim
of making a distinction between the higl
placed and the lowly, the rich and tn
poor Nermont's reputation can easil,
stand the shock of the conviction o
Graham it would not have withstoo
the shock of having condoned in him tn
crime which the jury has fastened upo'
him.
