ard-bearer in the national campaign,
many members Of the party attempt
ed to offset their natural disappoint-
ment with the reflection that he had
made a successful State executive and
that the more the public studied his
official record at Columbus. the
stronger he would become as a Presi-
Dental candidate. The reverse turns
out to be true.
Governor Cox is now seen to have
been all along a politician Of the ia
miliar small and smart" type.
With a certain faculty for aggressive
action he has united an untiring will
ingness to play the game, to match
faction against faction, to sacrifice
the public interest to the demands of
party, to make appointments Of a
shameful character-in short to so
conduct the Office of Governor in such
a fashion as to commend himself to
the very persons to whom he owes
his nomination for President, the
managers of a group of highly eff
cient Democratic city machines.
The Warnes tax law, about which
Mr.. Cox's advocates have had a good
deal to say, is an illustration of his
methods in politics. One of his en-
ployes, writing in a popular maya
zine, would have US believe that this
statute, for which the Governor was
responsible. worked a radical reform
in Ohio, whereas the simple fact is
that it enabled him to build up a
strong centralized machine there, in
creased taxes and finally became so
intolerable that it was repealed five
years ago-since which time Cox has
never dared to propose its reenact-
ment.
1t has been asserted that mot a
single piece Of legislation which was
enacted during his first term as Gov
ernor was repealed by his Republican
successor in the interim between his
first and second TERMS" but the
Warnes law was thus repealed, the
civil service act was so amended as
practically to be done away with, and
the agricultural commission act suf-
fered the same fate.
Again, credit for the workmen's
compensation law in Ohio has been
claimed for Governor Cox, but the
first statute of this sort was enacted
before he became Governor. A Re-
publican Legislature as long ago as
1910 created a commission to study
the question and the initial legisla-
tion was enacted in the year follow
ing.
Thus the smooth assertions Of Gov
ernor Cox's success might be ana
lyzed one by one, with the result that
he would be shown to be merely an
agile politician with his eye forever
on the possibility of gaining votes by
his official action.
But this is not all. Mr.. Cox as the
Journals Washington correspondent,
writing from Ohio, has pointed out,
has not hesitated to put unfit men in
to high public positions. The facts
are plain for anyone to read, and they
compel the question: How could he
be trusted to make proper appoint

The Farmer Will Restore Our
Game Birds.

1t is now pretty we'll established
that the multitude Of game laws on
the statute books over nearly every
state in the union are not saving the
game. The more laws, the faster
American game is disappearing.
In the meanwhile, these laws are
building up a huge army Of office
holders-game wardens and their
large police forces which are costing
the taxpayers an enormous sum every
year in salaries and expenses.
There is n sure way by which we
can make game plentiful again In
this country-eyen plentiful as food
for the mass of the people. At the
same time so per cent of the game
police can be discharged. Here it is.
Cut out the game laws. Make
game the property Of the farmer on
whose acres it liyes-not the proper
ty of the state. Then the farmer,
the farmers wife and the farmers
boys and girls will find that it will
be worth their while to protect
~pheasants, quail, grouse and other
birds from their vermin enemies and
feed them on occasional emergencies
in the winter. They will even take
the trouble to breed them because a
pheasant, for instance, today brings
81 a pound. Game birds will al
ways be more valuable to the farmer
than his poultry II he can sell them
for food,
Today the law prevents him from
breeding and raising game birds for
food. Think of IL in this goth CEN

ing foodl

Peace and the League.

Before Governor Cox babies much
more about the necessity of the Lea
que of Nations for the establishment
Of peace, he would do well to refresh
his memory Of what was said by his
former party leader, President Will
son, when that question was first
raised. Less than a year before we
entered the war, and while he was
seeking reelection on the platform
of He kept US out of war;" Presi-
dent Wilson said:
If it should ever be our privilege
to suggest or initiate a movement
for peace among the nations now at
war, | am sure that the people of the
United States would wish their gov
eminent TO move along these lines;
First, such a settlement with regard
to their own immediate interests as
the belligerents may agree upon. We
have nothing material of any kind
to ask for ourselves, and are quite
aware that We are in no sense or de-
gree parties to the present quarrel.
Our interest is only in peace and its
future guarantees. Second, an uni
yersal association of the nations to
maintain the inviolable security of
the highway of the seas for the
common and unhindered use of all
the nations of the world, and to pre-
vent any war begun either contrary
to treaty covenant or without warn
ing and full submission of the causes
to the opinion OF the world-a vir-
tual guarantee of territorial integri-
ty and political independence"
So then, before we entered the
war the President was arguing in the
strongest way for a treaty of peace
first, and a League of Nations after
ward. OF course, our subsequent en-
try into the war, solely on account Of
Germany's aggressions against US,
did not change the logic of the case
in that respect in the slightest de-
gree. After we had entered, and af-
ter the war had been fought almost
to a finish, and after Germany had
sued for and received an armistice,
the situation was absolutely n
changed, so far as the relation be-
tween peace and a league of nations
was concerned. In November and
December, 1917, it was just as pro-
per, just as logical, and just as in
cumbent as it was in May or June,
1916, that there should first be a
settlement among the belligeranr-
with regard to their immediate in
forests, and that the organization of
a league Of nations should come &C.
ond, after that first task had been
completed.
OF course We all know why Presi-
dent Wilson changed his tone, fatty
reversed himself, and insisted tina,
the treaty Of peace and the Covenant
Of the League of Nations should be
inextricably and ~inseparably woven
together and adopted Simultaneous
ly. 1t was in order to dragon the
Senate into approving his fantastic
league scheme, under penalty of in
curing the odium of rejecting a
treaty of peace. But it does seem
unnecessarily asinine even for Gov
ernor Cox to pirate at this late date
about the inseparability Of the two
things, and the absolute dependence

adoption Of the League Covenant

When to Leave Peoplc Alone.

It's mark Of generaIship to know
where the other fellow is touchy. Il
is an evidence of mastery to be able
to keep hands Off when you lave such
fine opportunities for prodding him up
a bit. It's human nature to put It to
a fellow" when you have the chance.
You argue he would do it to you if
he could. Yet what's the gain in such
conduct? Any one can do the meal
petty things that ruin7peace' and dis
rupt routine. The world has thousands
in it who are feeling themselves the
continual butt of ridicule. Everything
that is done seems to be a. direct at
tack ON their conduct. They are con.
stantly miserable and seeking for some
one to tell their troubles to. They are
mad at themselves most Of the time.
The wise man let's them alone even
when he has a chance to. even up
some Of their pettiness.-Grit.

Frequently Employed When Speaker
Really Means to Convey Idea
That He Is Angry.

Few words are more frequently mis-
used than 'mad' and "angry." It
must be confessed, however, that there
is some excuse for the misuse Of the
words, since many psychologists hold
that it is difficult to tell, when the
emotions Of a person are aroused, just
where anger ends and madness be-
gins. But in grammar there is a sharp
distinction between ''angry'' and
mad" The former means to be
vexed or out of patience, while the
latter indicates madness, insanity. A
person who is insane is mad, but a
person whose mail is, delayed is not
mad, but merely angry. There is a
figurative use of the word ''nad"-
that is, d use in which the words are
not to be taken literally-such as mad
with pain" "mad with terror" etc.
II am mad at that fellow" says a
man. "he cheated me in stock deal"
He should say, II am angry at that
fellow" etc.-Chicago Journal.

Helium From, Natural Gas.

Up to a little more than year ago
helium was laboratory product made
at a cost of from $500 to $1,000 per
cubic foot, but toward the close of the
war it's production had been simple
fed to the point that 5000 cubic feet
per day was produced in Texas alone
The commercial production Of he
lium has been stimulated by the need
Of a substitute for hydrogen, which is
so highly inflammable that its value
for military purposes in dirigibles and
Kite balloons is gravely impaired. Al
though the substitution of heiium for
this purpose entails loss of Z per
cent in lifting power, this Is more than
compensated for by the elimination OF
all risk of fire and explosion. Helium
suffers less loss by diffusion than by
drogen and cannot be made to burn
Or explode under any conditions
