M,kELLAR AND AsHURsT.

In our issue OF last Thursday.
March 81, in a special dispatch from
Washington, Senator Ashurst was
quoted. in giving his remarks in re-
ply TO Senator Mcclellan, anent Mr..
Hoover's interview, as using the
words verbal foollshness." 1t seems
our correspondent took the text from
the unrevised stenographic report In
the senate. The words actually used
by Senator Ashurst were verbal
plumage." They so appear in the
revised Record. In the headline and
introduction to the item about the
int between the two senators the
word 'rebuke" as referring TO Sena-
tor Mcclellan was used, which was
entirely improper. Mr. Mcclellan
could not be considered as having
been rebuked, even though the Ari-
coma senator answered with some as
perlty. The readers gathered, how
ever. from the text OF the dispatch
sent by the correspondent, that our
Tennessee senator handled himself

What Gov. Cox Stands For.


Gov, Cox, OF Ohio, Is a candidate
for the democratic nomination for pres
ident. He comes from n pivotal state
whose electoral vote Is an important
factor In the success of failure of his
party in the national election. He Is
a close, personal friend OF Woodrow
Wilson. He believes In the peace
treaty and the league OF nations. He
brings to its defense one OF the keen
est minds in his party, backed by great
forensic powers. He, OF all the present
field of possibilities, the president him
self alone excepted. could best take the
treaty into the campaign and carry 1t
TO victory in the great and solemn ref
erendum' called for In the jackson day
address,"
Thus the Arkansas Democrat Dem)
states the qualifications OF James M.
Cox, one OF the democratic asplrants,
whose candidacy is definitely avowed.
and the same paper believes he will
more and more become tho center OF
democratic interest as the logical man
to make the treaty fight for the presi-
dent"
In his own tate. the Youngstown
Vindicator (D.m.) is equally enthusi-
astic. It declares that he is 1.-THE best
and ablest governor Ohio ever had,
ard that "the qualities that distinguish
James M. Cox, OF Ohio, are the best
recommendation he can offer" The

oLlTTERINo oENERALITIEs.

Senator Mcclellan declares he is
unable to understand Herbert
Hoover's proposed remedy for labor
! problems. and Senator Thomas, of
Colorado, facetiously observes that
the language employed by the former
food administrator qualified him for
nomination on both tickets. The sit
uatlon thus indicated is more or less
amusing. but not at all unusual.
Neither of the senators, we believe,
mention any candidates whose ut
torances are direct and susceptible of
only one construction.
There is nothing more common in
our politics than the use OF glitter
ing generalities by men who aspire
to the presidency. They try to con-
struct phrases that will sound well
to voters OF varying Views-and
generally succeed They would rather
do nothing than displease anybody.
Take the case OF Senator Harding,
for instance. He is for an elaborate
system of national defense, but OPP
posed to anything approaching Prus-
sian militarlsm. He also favors
military training, but would make
It voluntary. Clearly, the senator
would catch them going and coming.
And thus II goes. II has become a
custom, in campaign years, to collect
and publish in more or less epgram-
matte form things that candidates
may have said from time to time.
These usually sound well and are not
anfrequently beautiful specimens OF
rhetoric. But every voter can gem
orally interpret their moaning-if
they have any--to suit himself, We
confess our inability to discover any
positive meaning In many Of them.
Our presidential canvasses should be
campaigns of education, but they are
not always that
There should be, we think an In
sistent demand on the part of the
people that candidates for president
and other offices should make clear
their attitude upon questions which
ALL revognize as public issues. There
are manifest risks in buying n pig
in a sack"

SWEET POTATOES.

Alabama complains that while she
produces more sweet potatoes than
any other state there are eight 9TH
ers which ship more OF the crop to
states outside their borders than she
does. This may, however, or may not
be significant. 1t seems TO indicate
one of two things: Either Alabam-
ans eat more of those toothsome
tubers or they haven't learned the
art OF preventing rot while waiting in
storage for the markets demand.
If the latter hypothesis is the cor
rect one, our neighbors are justified
in their concern over the situation.
Sweet potatoes are an important
southern crop. They are easily grown
and are table delicacy. The proc
ess of curing and storing them sue
cessfully is not difficult to learn, but
II involves more care than Is neces-
sary with the white or Irish potato.
Some have adopted the dehydration
or evaporation process which OBJ
tanned such vogue during the war,
\ Sweet potatoes are n fine food
crop. They flourish only In the
southern states-in this country,
Much more than is produced would
be readily consumed II they could
be stored and shipped long distances
with the same facility as Irish po-
tatoes. The principal obstacle in the
way of greater production of and
greater profits from sweet potatoes

DEFENSE BASED ON
POSITION OF TREES
Theory in Knox County Muir
der Case Is That Men
Killed Each Other.

Knoxville, April 5.--(Special)-
Cherry trees and a theory that two
men killed each other are factors in
the case OF John Allen, charged with
the murder OF william M. Parks,
which is being heard in criminal
court here. Allen entered a plea OF
not guilty and Is attempting to prove
that he could not have killed Parks,
but that Leo Burnett, who was shot
by Parks, was the assailant.
The defense Of Allen hinges on the
position Of two cherry trees and a
plot Of corn. 1t is claimed by the
defense that the line Of fire in the
shooting of Burnett will prove that
Allen was not near Parks at any
time of the fight, but instead was
engaged In a scuffle with Ebert

another part of the vacant lot where
