Explaining why no show at

Mr.. p H Riley, Mansfield, Mo
Dear Sir: You probably are
aware of the fact that no film

have gone forward by express.
On that account we were com
PEELED to ship everything parc'I

was a natural congestion at the

we must expect a little delay.
However, from now on we VII

Cox Passes Quiet Sunday
AT the Home of Lincoln

This Euenir,u


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct. 1o.-Gov-
ernor Cox of Ohio passed a quiet
Sunday in this city, resting in prepara-
tion for continuing his campaign to-
morrow.
Crowds greeted him to-day en- route
from Terre Haute, Ind. where he
spoke last night. He told groups at
way stations that the proprieties pre-
vented political discussion on the Sab
bath. On arriving in this city, before
large crowd at the station, he paid
a tribute to Lincoln, whose remains
rest in this place in the Lincoln me-
mortal.
"It is great honor" said the Gov
ernor, "to come to the home of the
great Lincoln. This has been my first
opportunity to do so.
I'm many respects he was the
strongest, the saddest and the sweet
est character in all history, next to
Christ Himself"
Governor Cox this afternoon walked
to Lincoln's tomb, accompanied by
Mrs. Cox, who joined the Governor
last night al Terre Haute Tomorrow
he will place a wreath at the bier of
the former President.

From a STAFF Correspondent

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 10 con Board Sena-
tor Harding's Special Train Travelling
to Marion, Oho) Senator and Mrs.
Harding left their comfortable quar-
ters in the private car Superb this af-
ternoon at New Franklin, Mo-, and
climbed into the grimy cab of huge
Pacifc-type locomotive Of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Limited. For
eighteen miles they rode So the guests
Of the engineer, Charles Blackmar, and
Richard Smell, the fireman
With his green travelling cap pulled
low over bushy brows and an unlighted
stogie prof from his lips, the Re-
publican Presidential candidate sat on
the engineers narrow seat, while Mrs.
Harding, unmindful Of her frock or hat,
fired questions at the fireman. AS the
Senator took his seat Mrs. Harding
asked:
"Warren, what are you going to do ~
There was a hint Of objection in her
voice.
"I'm going to drive this engine. Is
there any kick?" retorted the Senator,
closing an eye that was visible to the
engineer, but not to Mrs. Harding.
"Humph!" said Ms. Harding and re-
sumed her interrogation of the fire
man.
The engineer, telling the Senator
that riding Presidents in his cab was
tanned Benjamin Harrison similarly,
opened the throttle slowly and sent
hundreds Of pounds Of steam against
the piston. The train began to move.
Mrs. Harding Enjoys Novelty
"This is splendid" said Mrs. Har-
ding, after a reassuring glance had
showed that her husbands arms were
folded. Then she watched the fireman
operate the fire doors with a foot
lever and expose the flaming nav of
the steel monster at brief intervals as
he hurled in big scoops Of coal.
MY, my, does that engine know the
price of coal ?" exclaimed Mrs. Harding
as the fireman continued to bend his
back before the firebox. "How much
do you shovel on your run?"
BY this time the engine was tearing
along at fifty miles an hour, roaring
around curves that follow the bank of
the Missouri River, and Mrs. Harding
had to shout to make herself heard.
On the Senator's side of the cab was
the river. On Mrs Harding's side pre-
c;pitous rocky cliffs rose straight up
from the side of the right of way.
"I'm sociable, but I'm sure l hope we

these curves" she observed. "Is that
an engine ahead?"
The fireman continued to feed coal
to his hungry charge.
"What makes that bell ring? I don't
see any one working it," asked Mrs.
Harding.
No Idea of Being Scared
About that time the fireman straight
ened up, leaned over Mrs. Harding's
ear and shouted:
"This old engine is almost human,
but it don't have any idea of the price
of coal. I move eight tons into that
fire box in our run Of 1873 miles. That
is an engine ahead. but it's on siding.
Automatic air rings the bell. Don't
get scared now. We're going through
a tunnel"
Scared? ?" Mrs. Harding echoed
scornfully. "I'm having the time of my
life. Bring on the tunnel Warren
keep your arms in"

Divorce Every Ten Minutes
All Records Smashed in Courts
of Suffolk County, Mass.
Speciol Dispatoh to Tho ~;

opeca0l D1Spdfch to The Tribune
BOSTON, Oct. 10.-The flood of di
vorce petitions pouring in on the Suf-
folk County courts is not only smash
ing all records, but has become so
great that it has been found necessary
to hold two separate sessions of the
Divorce Court. Cases are now being
handled at the rate OF one every 10
minutes. Already the number of d.
vorces granted this year presses
closely the total of 1854 granted in
1919, which established a new high rec
ord for the country and state, and this
yea' has three months yet to run, with
some 800 cases yet to be heard.
In explaining this unusual showing,
experts say that while the unrest due
to the war and hasty marriages as a
result of the war, both play their part,
they see an even greater cause in the
lack of proper housing facilities. They
ali agree that it is not due to any
decline of morality.
New-York tribune., 1920-10-11

to religion and morality. And the won
derful thing about it Is that while the
government guarantees us religious
freedom and encourages it, yet govern
ment does not tell us what our religious
devotion shall be. This is free
America, my countrymen, and / will
venture to say just one thing that
might have the SAVIOR of politics. I
want to keep it a free America"
Daugherty Issues Statement
The following statement was issued
aboard tho train tonight by Harry M.
Daughcrty, who has accompanied the
Senator throughout his tour
This has been the most wonderful
and the most encouraging trip. I have
ever known any candidate for tho
Presidency to make. Since leaving his
home. in Marion last Wednesday Sena-
tor Harding has spoken to more than
100000 people, who have distinctly
heard him. His speeches have been
well received and his position on all
public questions most enthusiastically
approved. At Des Moines, Omaha, st.
Joseph, Kansas City, Wichita and
Oklahoma City it was agreed by all who
are familiar with the campaign that no
candidate for the Presidency has ever
been so cordially received or ever had
such crowds so eager to pay their re-
spects and hear him speak.
II am confident Senator Harding will
carry all tho states in which he has
spoken, Oklahoma being the only doubt
full one. 1t is Democratic state by
rather large majority, but on fair
count, which we shall insist upon.
think the electoral vote of Oklahoma
will be cast for Harding and Coolidge
In this election party lines and sec
tlOnal lines will be broken down Thou-
sands Of Democrats will vote the Re-
publican ticket in the doubtful states.
If there was time enough for Senator
Harding to speak in all the Southern
states and Governor Cox to speak in all
the Northern and Western states Sem
ator Harding would carry every state in
the Union.
Senator and Mrs. Harding arc re-
turning in good condition and have
stood the strain of cordial receptions
so generously rendered them very we'll.
His next trip will be a short one again
to the Southland, where partisanship is
being shattered and patriotic support
OF his candidacy is generously prom
lsed. Wherever he has gone he has
been treated with that high regard and
respect usually given to the President
of the United States. The receptions
that the country is sure of his over
whelming election
"Of course, we will work on to the
end to make the landslide as big as
possible and be on guard to see that
no trick of professional or personal
warfare that may be attempted in the
closing days Of the campaign shall
endanger or threaten the result in anv
state or locality"
