force sufficient to save the situa-
ton and prevent defeat. Then
Lodge said that to make a sepa-
rate peace would brand us with
everlasting dishonor. It was .
truism.
The democrats in their platform
statement changed the date of
this utterance. They gave it as
December, after the armistice bad
been signed and after the victory
had been won. The persons on
the resolutions committee might
say that they made a mistake.
You could believe that or not.
The quotation was useless I'M
less the date was changed. Lodge
did not say, as the democrats inn
ply, that 1t would dishonor us to
make separate peace when we
were the only nation remaining
at war with Germany.
The trickery of this deception
was quickly exposed. 1t was
serious enough to have a political
party, distort facts and change a
date in such fashion, but it is
more serious when a candidate
for president, after the truth has
been revealed, repeats the state
ment with all its innuendos and
implications.
If Mr.. Cox has been imposed
upon the quicker he relieves him
self of responsibility the better it
will be for his reputation. Such
an act is not consistent with the
qualities of character which any
man seeking the office of presi-
dent, as candidate Of major par
ty, ought to have.
Mr. Cox should disown it and
with it all the arguments he based
upon it. His case will be weaker
than it is. but that is better than
to have his dignity lowered be-
meath the presidential level.

Chicago Tribune: 1t is SER
ious thing to find Governor Cox
in his speech of acceptance re-
peating significant misstatement
Of facts which was first used in the
democratic national platform and
afterwards exposed. The COVER
nor might have been misinformed
if there had been no previous mis-
use of the facts, but inasmuch as
there has been refutation, Mr..
Cox's position is made the less
innocent.
The democratic national plat
form said that Senator Lodge,
senate leader for republican res
ervations to the covenant, had
written in an article printed in
the December issue of the Forum,
1918, the following:
we cannot make peace except
in company with our allies. 1t
would brand us with everlasting
dishonor and bring ruin to us If
we undertake to make a separate
peace"
The democratic platform used
this quotation, giving December,
1918, as the date of the article, to
substantiate a charge that the re-
publicans were animated by unpat-
riotic and dishonorable partisan
ship in opposing the covenant as it
stood, and later in undertaking to
make peace with Germany without
adopting the covenant.
If the leader of the republicans
had said that we were dishonor-
able unless we made peace in COM
pany with our allies, which is by
accepting the covenant, he and the
republicans knew they were dis
honorable. 1t was a serious
charge to make, and the demo-
Gratis evidently thought it was an
effective one.
Governor Cox repeats it: mo
less authority than Senator Lodge
said, before the heat of controver-
sy, that to make peace except in
company with our allies would
brand us with erelasting dishon-
or and bring ruin to us.
Senator Lodges article was not
printed in the December number
of the Forum. 1918. 1t was print
ed in the June number, 1918. 1t
probably was written two or
three months prior to that, but it
was printed in June and not in
December.
In June we were at war. Rus
STA had made a separate peace
which might have ruined the al
lied cause. In June the last
German offensive was being made,
and the question was whether the
United States could get in with

ARTISTIC TEMP,ERAMENTs.

Internationally Maurice Maeterlinek is an
artist, thus, logically, his temperament must be
artistic; but is it 50 adjectively artistic as for
example, that of Mary Garden, or, to enter the
realms of artistic royalty, that OF the immortal
Sarah Bernhardt? Have the depths OF the ar
tistic temperament been plumbed only half way
to their profundities! For it seems to the I'M
preiudiced observer that Maurice Maeterlinck
has temperament and foresight that would do
valiant service in the physical envelope OF
Wall street broker when it comes to protecting
his own interests and his own privacy. A firm
of agents desiring to recover fifty thousand dol
lars from the famous poet and dramatist admits
that he was unique as lecture attraction, unique
enough to be worth thousands of dollars per lee
ture for ten appearances, exclusive Of expenses
and railway fares, but not too unique to look
after his own affairs as well. The contract as
drawn by the agents does not suit the lecturer
who demands that those who hire him are to
look upon him as engaged to lecture only and
not to perform in off hours as they may plan.
He wants to live his own life in his own way
make his own friends, censor his own publicity,
accept his own invitations, pass upon persons
appointed to committees with respect to his
lectures. In other words, he says out in meet
ing that if he is to lecture, he is at the same
Time to be allowed to maintain his own dignity
and such peace of mind as he is entitled to as Il

lions protect him from the experiences of other

EXECUTIVE DICTATION.

Students of history may recall the powerful
and digniied protest of Senator Stephen a.
Douglas. the .slittle giant" of democracy,
against presidential dictation in his day II IS
well to recall the Douglas incident, as Mr.. COX
gives promise, if chosen president, OF attempting
to be as dictatorial an executive as the present
occupant of the white house Douglas, the
most distinguished senator OF his party IN the
epoch preceding the civil war, resented bu
chanan's attempt to coerce him, and his eio-
uuent argument is as unanswerable now as then.
This is what he said:
Whenever the time comes that the presldens
of the United States change the allegiance OF
senators the states to himself, whaA Deconies
of the sovereignty Of the states? When ne ume
that senator is to account 70 .ns $500
