SURRENDERED BUT TOO LATE.

Governor Cox has been forced by
the real friends of league to enforce
peace to surrender and admit that
Wilson's league should have been re-
vised but it is too late to win the
presidency. He started out by en-
dorsing Wilson's league unequivocaliy
with the announcement that he was
in favor of going into it. Then Taft
and Hoover and Root and many men
of intimate knowledge Of information
al affairs Joined in their public sup
port of Harding as their best chance
to obtain league properly safe
guarded to protect American inter
ests and the tide of public sentiment
drifted with them. Now Mr.. Cox
telegraphs to Elihu Root that he has
been in favor of reservations to the
Wilson league all Of the tipe,, that If
elected he will not only consult the
senate which he. has been calling an
oligarchy but that he will counsel
with Taft and Hoover and Root and
any republican who has real know
ledge on the subject. In other words
ne is trying to get over on to his op-
ponent's league platform but it is too
late. There yet remains the record
OF democratic inefficiency and ex-
travagance to live down and it can
not be done in the next two weeks.

DON'T DECEIVE MOTHER.

s1ty. men of great information and
knowledge as to international law all
say that under Article x Of Wilson'S
League treaty into which candidate
Cox believes we should enter, our.
country Gould be ordered into war
by a council OF foreign diplomats. The
SAASAe .oo ACNASCu ny LIE senate pro-
vided that the American congress
only could send the sons Of AM
erican mothers into a foreign war
and President Wilson refused to sign
the revised treaty.
American mothers should decide
before they enter the voting places
whether they want council of for
eign diplomats sending our boys
across seas to war over European
boundary lines or whether they pre-
fer to trust the American congress
to declare war which will conscript
our sons. Cox believes in going in as
Wilson had the treaty, while Hard
ing voted in the senate to revise
that, SO only congress could declare
war for the sons of American
mothers.

What really happened to the clown,

later.
So with only the thought to bother
him that some member Of the Treat
family might spy him and take him
out for safe keeping before he had
seen all the sights, Billy started right
in at the cage nearest to hand. AS
for the Treats. he knew that there
was nothing to do but take his
chances and that they were PRETTY
good considering the great size of the
tent and the thousands of people in

that it contained six or eight ami

scALplRe ENEMIES is OUT OF DATE.

The Des Moines Register displays
primal motives Of savagery in its at
tacks upon Cummfns and Kendall
because they have not arisen to pre-
vent Governor Harding being recog-
nized by the national campaign com
m1ttee as a campafgner. It is no more
disgusting to the Register than it is
to the T.-R. to have Harding invited
out into good republican society
since the packing house and pardon
exposures but when men are candi-
dates for office it is poor policy for
them to go out of the state and into
national headquarters to get some
body's scalp who is neither in their
way nor in any wise involved in their
campaign. The chances are that
Harding received his invitation from
the national chairman because he
was governor of Iowa and very prob
ably neither of Iowa's senator's were
consulted
The Times Republican has always
been exceedingly disappointed in
both Senators Cummins and Kenyon
for the political bill of character
which they gave to Harding for both
men should have been fully as we'll
posted as to his unworthiness as was
the T.-R. but as time goes on it APP
pears more and more that all men
will not always agree with the T-R
as to policy and yet many men who
disagree are in other things very
good men after all.
Since time and the exposure of
facts has demonstrated Harding to be
as dissraceful in office as the T.-R.
and the Register said he would be no
utterance from either senator has
been made in the disgraceful COVER
nor's defense. AT no time has Nate
Kerdall ever been quoted in Hard
ing's behalf so it seems rather harsh
TO censure these men because Hard
ing is still invited out into good re-
publican society.
Rather does common sense dictate
that Kendall and Cummins be per-
mitted to run on their own merits.
Kendall has clean record himself.
The men who made his nomination
possible are the men who despise
Governor Harding most. He has said
repeatedly that he will do what he
can to abolish the blue sky frauds.

THE LEGISLATURE WILL ACT.

There is no doubt whatever con-
corning the certainty of action by
the next legislature Of Iowa looking
to the prohibition of such scandalous
stock selling schemes as that OF the
Associated Packing Company at Des
Moines and another only little less
salacious at Sioux City. Both can
didates for governor promise 1t.
But there is feature In both
these cases which should not be over
looked by people generally. Why
will people persist in buying stock
which they do not know to be sound!
Why don't they invest their funds
where there is no question about the
soundness Of the investment and the
certainty of returns?
Abe Martin says he was always
puzzled to know why men who had
thirty and forty per cent stocks
didn't hold onto them. Why don't
people get suspicious when stock
salesman offers them gilt edged stock
certificates with equally gilt cdged
promises that they are certain to pay
huge dividends?
Legislation can protect people in
some measure on these lines. But
no statute on this or any other sub
ject can be made fool proof. People
who have money to invest must be
governed by common sense in IT'S
care or they will some day. run into
some sort of scheme which Will

their old age upon charity or friends.
OF course these packing companies,
so called, had what appeared to be
creditable origins. They had the
names of some prominent men on
their letter heads. That is, these
names looked creditable. AS a mat

from the start. If the people OF Iowa
We're as shrewd 'and careful as they
should be in matters of this kind
neither of these concerns would have
ever reached third base. AS the case
