Or play al any game.

Until she almost danced a jig
At everyone holding hands
And grunting like pig.

Trying to meow.
Mrs. Brown was bllndfolded
And take three steps about
With a terrible report
She blew the candle out.

Were Milllcent and Grace.

Just like flock Of geese.

CANDIDATE cox, THE UNDIGNIFIED
BY E. S. VAN zlLE

From the time of George Washing
ton to the present moment It has been
characteristic of the American people
to demand dignity as an absolutely
essential quality in the makeup of a
President. The instances have been
so rare in which an occupant of the
White House has forgotten the obiga-
ton he is under to the nation to main
tain his poise under all circumstances
that it requires close historical inves-
tigation TO come upon them Our
Presidents have been no matter what
may have been their shortcomings as
executives. worthy in their outward
bearing of the emnence to which they
had attained.
1t is a serious handicap to James NJ.
Cox that he has displayed in his
Presidential campaign. lack of dig
nifty that has been, in some of its
manifestations actually shocking. 1t
is not demanded, of course, that a
Presidential candidate shall go about
his campaign activities with book of
etiquette in one hand and a box of
sedative pills in the other. The Amer
lean public, with its usual sense of
Justice, makes due allowance always,
when judging the words and deeds of
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1920-10-01

an aspirant for the Presidency for the
great physical and mental strain that
he is undergoing But there is limit
beyond which its patience and sym
pathy may safely be tried, and Gov
ernor Cox has repeatedly passed that
limit.
OF course, 1t may be too much to ex-
pect that candidate who owes his
nomination to the fact that he was the
only one of many aspirants who was
thoroughly persona grata to men like
Murphy. Nugent, Taggart and Bren-
nan should possess that sensitiveness
to the proprieties that has safeguard
ed the dignity of our Presidents as
class. But even after making due al
lowance for the fact that mans man
ners are influenced by the company he
keeps, 1t is not too much to say that
Governor Cox, in his recent public ut
terances and in certain cheap appeals
he has made to people lacking in good
taste, has placed himself outside the
pale from which alone an occupant of
the White House should be chosen.
AS President there is every reason
to believe that the undignified Cox
would offend against a precious ira
dition that is, as it should be, dear to
the hearts of the American people.
