The idea was not particularly
pleasing to the new publisher, who
from the start said, "A successful
newspaper must be One-mind news
paper" But the Sorg idea prevail
ed Temporarily, and several Dayton
men took small blocks of stock in
the new enterprise. But as fast as
be could Cox bought out their in
tereSts ana within few years be-
came the sole owner Of the paper.
IN 1905 he acquired The Press Re
public and The Democrat and con-
soiidated them into the Springfield
News. which to-day has the largest
circulation in the field. just as does
the Dayton News.
CoX's methods Of building up his
newspaper were characteristic of the
energy which has marked his whole
career. The struggle was desperate
in those early days. 1t is told how
Frank Mccormick, who was one of
his closest friends, had TO hustle
around and borrow or himself ad-
vance the money at noon, in order
to get out the edition at two o'clock
might be purchased and paid for.
Creditors were many.
But also Dayton was getting a
real newspaper One of the first
things the new publisher did was to
lease an Associated Press wire.
Next he insisted on getting rid of
the "boiler-pIate" with which the
Dayton papers had previously been
filled and printing local news in
stead. He had foreman who said
that a paper could not be got out
without 'boiler-plate."
Cox insisted that it could. Final
Iy, walking into the foreman's office
one day, he remarked:
This 'boiler-plate' must CO."
4 can't get out paper without
it," responded the foreman.
Cox walked over, picked up a pile
of it and tossed it out of the window
as an answer, and from that time
'boiler-plate" became an unknown
quantity in the News composing
room.
The news publisher worked early
and late In the daytime he acted
as telegraph editor and city editor
and wrote his editorials-The News
has always been an evening news
paper-and in the evenings hustled
for advertising and looked after af-
fairs in his business office. AS one Of
his friends eXprest it recently to the
writer, 'he worked twenty-four
hours day, and when he slept I do
not know"
The subsequent newspaper career
of Ohio's Governor is divided into
two distinct periods. The first is
the fighting, crusading, lambasting
period when he was building up his
enterprise, when he went after his
political enemies, mismanagement in
the city government, private enter
prises which failed to meet with his
approval, and whatever else he con-
Ceiyed as wrong and with bitter in
vective and vitrolic wrath attacked
those who were selected for the
lashing of his facile pen.
The second period was entered in
to when he became Congressman in
1908 and is marked by a more digni-
fed form of journalism. still one that
prints. all the news, but one, in re-
cent years particularly. which has
not gone out of its way to make bit
ter enemies.

ATTACKED SENATORS.

Lester Barlow, who is an organizer of the Veterans Of Foreign Wars who spoke at the Plaza theatre yesterday, under the auspices of the Machinists Lodge, No. 116, attacked the presi- dent and several United States sena- tors in his talk.
 ''SeRator Chamberlain, who during the war pretended to be a loyal Amer ican, is an anarchist of the worst type,'' said Barlow. "I think and know he is a red He and his kind are all anarchists. He tried to brow beat government witnesses during the aircraft production investigation, but didn't get away with it.
 'I have letters here which show that the President of the United States practiced criminal whitewash of his own departments. I know that the officials of the War Department prac- ticed intrigue and made fraudulent af- fidavits for the purpose of discredit- ing Gutzom Borglum and other men who tried to show up the fraud and squandering of public funds during the war"

REV. DUFFY OPENS MISSION

Rev. P. Gavan Duffy opened the mission at St. Johns church last night with a talk on "Prejudice'' to a large congregation.
 we suffer greatly Father Duffy said, t'by complete surrender to the inheritance of poor traditions and, as a consequence, live in the past, jus tifying our action by saying. What is good enough for our fathers, is good enough for us. We must be true to our times as they were true to theirs"
 The sermon closed with vivid word picture of the mob crying for Christ's blood, the reason being that their prejudices had been played up- on, until they c1amored for the death of their only God. Similarly, preju- dice can kill Christ in us, if we let it, Father Duffy stated. The subject of the instruction was, "The Charac- ter of God" Tonight it will be stF>ajth-What Is It?'' and the sermon will deal with "Mammon."

STILL
 AGAINST GIVING
 TURKS CONTROL
Lloyd George Bombarded With Protests From All
 Sides.

London, Feb. 23-Protests against the Turks retaining their hold upon Constantinople were made in several churches here yesterday, and the sub jest continues to be conspicuously featured in newspapers of London and other English cities. A number of the most prominent people in the country including the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, other leading clergymen, university professors, lit erary and scientific men and politi- clans have memorialized Premier Lloyd George, earnestly opposing a policy which would leave Constanti- nople in Turkish hands.
 The Premier, however, is not likely to alter his opinion that the Turks should retain in Constantinople, &C., cording to the Daily Mail, which says he considers himself bound to a pledge to that effect, given in 1918 in the course of a statement as to war aims before members of the labor party. More over, the newspaper says he considers dispossession of the Turks would have a serious effect up- on Moslerns in India, Mesopotamia and the Near East.
 MT. Lloyd George is said, however, to have prepared a compromise by which Turkish influence would be re- stricted to the city of Constantinople.

YALE MEN ARE
 PUSHING HADLEY FOR PRESIDENCY

President Arthur T. HadIey of Yale for President of the United States is the slogan of a number of Yale grad uates who say that the Worlds h. dustrial salvation depends upon the selection of such man as executive.
 In a circular to all graduates Lowe Shearon of New York says:
 '"The whole cause of industrial un- rest is that the profit taker is not re- compensation for services rendered as is required of the bondholder, the preferred stockho older and the wage earner This makes it obvious that we do not have free and open compe- tition and equal opportunity for all, which is the only safe and sound eco homie theory, the full application or which is so badly needed at present
 "YaIe men, or descenGants of Yale men (women voters, also), who want to see permanent industrial peace and abundant prosperity for all, are re- quested to address letters to Presl- dent Had1ey, at Woodbridge Hall, Yale University, New Haven, asking him. to become g, candidate for Presi- dent of the United States-each offer ing to do whatever possible in his or her own locality toward securing Tor President Hadley both the Democratic and Republican nominations for Pres ident of the United States, in order that America may be made safe TOT democracy for all time to come"

Vast Saving Of Coal If
 Roads Were Electrified

tractive return upon the SIP, 100000 expended for the 44O miles of eIectri- f1cation without deducting the value of the 112 steam engines released elsewhere:
 "The total ton-miIe movement on all railways of the country for 1918 was l ,215, 10000 ton-miles. Of this total 175, 100000 ton-mi1es were expended in non-revenue producing traffic (i. e. Hauling coal for railway operating service).
 ''The railways of the country con sumed 6,00O,OOO tons of coal in 1918, about 122, 100000 tons of which could be saved by identification.
 ''Electric motive power for rail- ways can be maintained for approxi- mately one-third the cost of that of steam engines for the same train tonnage handled.
 For same freight tonnage hand led on the Rocky Mountain Division of the c. M. & St. Paul, electric op- eration has affected a reduction of 22 1.2 per cent. in the number of trains, 24.5 per cent. in the average time per train and has improved op- erating conditions so that nearly 30 per cent. more tonnage can be hand
 
 cent. of the time it formerly took to handle the lesser tonnage by steam engines. The capacity of this single track line has been increased 50 per cent, "and probably more" On this particular road, identification has af- fected economies which sufficiently justify the capital expenditure incur red and furthermore, has postponed for an indefinite period, any necessity for constructing a second track through this mountainous country"
 The last point emphasized by MT. Armstrong's address was that if all our railways were completely eIec- trified, they could carry one-ffth more revenue producing freight ton mage with no change in present op- erating expenses or track congestion.
 t'I am not, however, proposing the immediate identification of all the . railways in the United States he said, "but am offering these statistics simply as a measure of the magni- tude of the problem confronting us in the future''

CHURCH MUST
 MAKE GOOD OR

Charles Sickle, former newsboy machinist and now preacher, speak ing at the United Forum told the au- dience last night that the church must make good on it's job or some thing else will take it's place."
 The speaker foretold of the coming of a new industrial democracy and urged those present to do their share in the work. You must answer the question now where you will stand when the new democracy comes,'' said the speaker, flor when the hour has struck proclaiming an industrial vic tory you may pat the workingman on the back and tell him what a splendid fight he made, but if you have not helped him to win his battle he will tell you to go your way and he will go his.''
