COX BEATEN, BUT HE AND WILL
SON DON'T KNOW 1T.

A cartoon the other day utilized a
baseball field to show the present
status of the contest between Harding
and Cox Cox was represented max
ing a desperate run from first to sec
ond, totally oblivious to the fact that
his side had been struck out by Har-
ding, who was seen leisurely walking
from the grounds, while the grand
stand and bleachers had been hurried
ly vacated by a crowd Disguised with
such one sided game. The cartoon
was good but there was one feature
which should have been added to
make it a perfect representation of
the presidential contest today. In
the presidential box should have been
seated Woodrow surrounded by
empty benches, wildly cheering the
redoubtable Jimmy" who struggles
on to score after the game has been
lost. Veteran correspondents at
say that the president is
the only one among leading democrats /
who still takes an optimistic view of
Cox's candidacy While prominent /
democrats endeavor to maintain a
confident air in public, in private con-
ersation they concede that it is all
over but the shouting and that the
only question to be determined is the
size of Hardings majority These
same correspondents say that there is
10 doubt that the president still be-
ieves that the people will approve his
eague of nations by the election of
COX. This is a pathetic picture show
ng the president serenely and con-
Identity looking forward to victory, +
While his lieutenants all around him t
zee nothing but disaster and defeat :
The presidents confidence is of course
through an intimate knowledge of the v
olitical situation throughout the t
ountry but rather it is an obsession
rowing out of his long illness. Like
he weary wanderef ON the desert, ne l.
pressing on toward the mirage, on s
to see his vision of Cox and inter- b
ationalism vanish as the sun goes !.

ly they were subjected to an increase
in freight rates which in some cases
almost wipes out the margin of pro-
fit while now they are confronted
with selling their product in competi-
ton with foreign produced metal.
During the war the demand for
lead and zinc was so great that there
was market for all that could be
produced. The tariff was forgotten
for the warning nations had to have
the metals at prices that took no ac-I
count of duties. Being so long accus-
toned to high prices for the metals
and conditions being such since the
close Of the war that little was being
produced in other lands, the arrival
of lead and zinc from Europe to com
pete with the American metals sub
jected US to rude awakening. For
the shock came at an oppor-
tune time. The party that is respon-
sible for the present tariff law which
permits these importations is on
trial. and two weeks from next Tues
lay the people will have an oppor-
unity to drive it from power. For
sign lead and zinc forcing down the
price in the American market will |
simply prove another nail in the cof-
in Of the democratic party.

NO ADDITIONAL CONGRESSMAN
FOR IDAHO.

The population of Idaho increased
1O6.2S2 during the last ten years. or
1926 per cent. Only two other western
states made a larger percentage of
gain and they were Montana and Cal
ifornia. 1t was hoped that the census
figures would show that Idaho had
gained sufficiently in population to in
sure another congressman giving the
state three. but the increase was not
sufficient. The basis of representa-
ton is now one representative in con-
gress for each 211,OOO of population
or major fraction thereof, and it is ex-
pected that the new basis will be
about 100000 of population for each
for the tendency is to
increase the basis as a means of hold
ing down the number of congressman.
as the lower house is already a rather
lnwieldy body on account of the |
arge membership. 1t may be assum-
3D. therefore, that Idaho will have to
;et along for another ten years with
My two congressman. But the in
erests of the state will not suffer if
he people continue to show the good
Judgment they have displayed in the
asst by keeping Burton L. French and

Land of Beginning Again
Frankfort QIy) State Journal
FRANKFORT (Ky) State Journal

1 wish that there were some wonder
ful place
Called the Land of Beginning Again
Where all our mistakes and all our
heartaches
And all our poor selfish grief
Could be dropped like a shabby coat
at the door
And never be put on again.
wish we would come on it all I'M
aware,
Like the hunter who finds lost
trail,
And [ wish that the one whom our
blindness had done
The greatest injustice of all
Could be at the gates, like an old
friend that awaits
For the comrade he's gladdest to
hail
We would find all the things we in
tended to do,
But forgot and remembered too late
Little praises unspoken little prom
ises broken,
And all the thousand and one
Little duties neglected that might
have perfected
The day for one less fortunate.
1t wouldn't be possible not to be kind
In the Land of Beginning Again;
And the ones we misjudged and the
ones whom we grudged
Their moments of victory here
Would find in the grasp of our loving
hand clasp
More than penitent lips could
explain.
For what had been hardest we'd know
had been best
And what had seemed lost would be
gain;
For there isn't a sting that will not
take wing
When we've faced it and laughed it
away;
And l think that the laughter is most
what we're after
In the Land of Beginning Again.

The people of Idaho generally recog-
nlze the necessity for increasing the
number of justices of the supreme
court of the state from three to five
and will vote for the constitutional
to that effect if they do
not forget it in preparing their bal
lots. Strange that a matter of such
pressing importance should rest so
lightly upon the minds of voters.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE AND
STATE CoNSTABULARY.

r. A. Walters, democratic candidate
for governor, seems to be particularly
opposed to the state constabulary, a
position which places him in perfect
accord with law violators throughout
the state. The constabulary has proved
itself to be a very efficient factor in
law enforcement both as an independ-
ent agency and in cooperation with
federal state, county and municipal
officers. In spite of the excellent rec
ord of the constabulary as a branch
OF the cabinet form of government
Mr. Walters says that he would abol-
ish il. This is either political bunk"
on the part of the democratic candi-
date. or a complete reputation of his |
former position while attorney gener-
al under the Alexander administra-
ton. on page 6 Of his report to the
governor, Attorney General Walters
said:
Many complaints with respect
to violation of the law in various
counties have been made to this
department with requests that
detectives or special officers be
sent for the purpose of making
Investigations and if sufficient evil
dence is discovered instituting
prosecutions. In many instances
it has been charged that the local
officers are derelict in their dut-
les or refuse to act. Since assum-
ing the duties of this Office expert
ence has led me to the conclusion
that the creation Of a state con- u
stabulary is well-nigh a neces- II
sity. l believe he or they would t'
be of material aid and assistance ie
in the enforcement of the law"

raj officials to come here to enforce
the Volstead Act, and our Local Option
Law is still in effect and can be ap-
piled in keeping Carroll County clean,
perhaps Mr. Sea'brook can tell us why
some efforts is not made to put down
the bootlegger here, and to close the
stills" and put an end to the lawless
traffic in intoxicating beverages! He
knows that the bootlegger thrives
here. He knows that Intoxicating
beverages are being sold in the very
city where he lives. Why not apply
the penalties of cur own law, before
Congress interferes with it, and drive
the vermin out of Carroll county? Per-
haps he knows why no effort is made
TO do So Why is it, Mr.. Seabrook? II
the authorities will not, or can not,
enforce this law NOW, while it is
still OH the books and available, how
can we expect them to do it after a
wet Congress authorizes the sale of
beer and wine? If they will not keep
the stuff out now, do you seriously ex-
pect they would do it after Mr. WeSler
and men like Benson authorize its
sale everywhere, if enough of thep are
selected to turn the trick?
You may fool some people, Mr.. Sea-
brook, but the serious-minded man can
see through your smoke-screen very
readily.
In seeking to make it appear that
Mr.. Weller has not pledged himself to
the liquor forces, he flies squarely in
the face of the undisputed declaration,
circulated over Mr.. Weller's own sig
nature by himself written to the Lib
erty League and printed in all the
newspapers of Baltimore, that
IF elected to the United States
Senate shall vote to- modify the
Volstead Act as to permit the pro-
duction and use of light wines and
beer"
In the face of this declaration is
there any escape from the conclusion
that Mr.. Weller is wet2 No subterfuge,
no camoulfiage, no twisting of lang
uage that the ingenuity of Mr.. Sea-
brook and his collaborators at Repub-
1ican Headquarters can suggest, can
alter the fact If the return of beer and

dispatches from New York this
morning says:
That there has been a recession in
what a few weeks ago seemed to be a
resistless Republican tide is no longer
a matter of argument here.
It is only a question Of how far tlle
1 pendulum has swung to the Democrats
and how much further it viii swing
in the closing days Of the campaign
Nothing more clearly indicates the
change in the campaign atmospl ere
than the state Of mind Of the two na~
tional headquarters in this city IN
the Democratic camp there has been a
sudden revival Of hope. Aa eleventh
hour enthusiasm has been generated,
as encouraging reports come in al
most hourly from States and sections
which had been counted as lost. the
genuineness Of which cannot Re.
doubted.
Among the Republicans there is an
obvious nervousness. who are making
wild statements about the Democrats
to stop the trend to the Democratic
party.
This uneasiness is heightened by Fhe
recollection Of 1916; campaign
which on the surface seemed to be as
satisfactory as any Hughes manager
could desire, but which, to the con-
sternation Of every Republican politi-
clan in the East ended in disaster.
And in spite Of all the advantages with
which they entered this contest, there
is a fear that they have overestimated
their strength that they many have
oyerplayed their hands, and tlat the
history Of four years ago may repeat
ITSELF
The States claimed by Republicans
BY large rlajorities, are now elassed

which signifies a Democratic victory.

Republicans to Knife Weller.

Every indication points to heavy
cutting of o. E. Weller, Republican
Senatorial candidate, by the Republi-
can voters of Western Maryland. This
cutting, it appears now, will be done
chiefly by the women, but Mr. Weller
will lose much from the male vote that,
ordinarily, would go TO the Republi-
can candidate. Republican leaders
have plans now for last-minute and
intensive drive for Mr. Weller. They
will flood the mails with anti-Smith
literature, designed for the women
particularly, and sent to reach the vot-
ers next Monday, the eve of election.
This may help the Republican candi-
date, but it doesn't seem now that it
can help much.

cast for Governor Cox. The odd two
per cent is divided between Eugene
Debs, Socialist, and Aaron Watkins,
Prohibitionist. This does not include
a very considerable number of voters
who are still on the fence.
Practically all the Cox letters lay
stress on the League of Nations as the
foremost issue in the campaign, and
the issue which decided the writer's.
Many of the writer's say they regard
Governor Cox as personally more ag-
gressiVe and progressive than Hard
ing.

He takes Mr. Weller at his word He

Use on this question. Weller is hand
and glove with the liquor crowd today,
just as his father was when he kept
a saloon at Granite, in Baltimore
county, Mr.. Seabrook's certificate of
character to the contrary not
withstanding. With Mr.. Weller and
the crowd behind him, the editor has
nothing in common. When he cut loose
from that crowd he took his Christ
by the hand and, bless God, he is still
holding fast. He has not misrepresent-

untruth concerning him and no man
knows it better than William l.. Sea-
brook. The editor will not hesitate to
tell the truth about Mr.. Weller and al
others of his like, who seek to prevent
Christian America from reaping the
full fruits of the great moral victory

ALBERT NJ HALL,
Editor of The Herald.
Tt is fortunate that this disable
attempt of Republicans to get Demo-
Gratis to cut their candidate on a moral
issue while they vote for theirs, has
been unconcerned. Five years ago the
Democrats voted for Republicans on
the "dry" issue relying upon their
Republican friends to vote for Demo-
crats, but while Democrats kept their
promise, Republicans did not keep
theirs, with the result that only Re-
publicans were elected to the Legis-
Iature. The same scheme of hypoc-
risy and duplicity is being tried this
year, and eJncle Mort speaking of
I WelIer's pledges to bring back beer
! and light wines, says, elsewhere, that
"This pledge is a matter Of common
knowledge and Mr.. Seabroolt knows
lit. and his effort to make it appear
totherwise is simply a piece of political
Achicanery to which a man of his stand
