Cox Answered Promptly
To these questions Gov. Cox ans
wered at once, and in this straight
forward way:

Columbus,
August 19, 1920.
Mr.. L. K. Sherman, President, Amer
lean Association OF Engineers, 60
East Adams Street, Chicago, Ill.
My Dear Mr.. Sherman;
My reply to every one Of the ques-
tions you ask is unequlvocally yes"
Time will not permit, nor do 1 con-
sidor it proper that 1 answer the or
dinary questionnaire. My past record
and public utterances must be suf-
flclent, however, as in the case of
your letter, the reply to questions
asked and my record and public an
nouncements are one and the same.
therefore take great pleasure In
making this statement.
With every good wish, ] am,
Very truly yours,
James NJ. Cox.
And this is the way that Senator
Harding replied to the questions
asked:
Marion, Ohio,

Mr.. c. E. Drayer, secy., American AS
sociation of Engineers, SO East
Adams Street, Chicago, Ill.
My Dear Mr.. Drayer:
Your letter to Mr.. Christian Of
August 4th has been brought to my
attention.
1t is not an easy matter for me to
make a detailed reply to the inquiries
conveyed in your letter and 1 do not
care to enter into a categorical reply
to questionnaires, no matter how
friendly they may be and no matter
how reputable and high-standing is
the source from which they come.
My theory of campaign is, that
a mans candidacy ought to be based
on the formal and public utterances,
though, Of course, we are all of US
informal enough TO discuss informally
many of the problems which are In
the minds of various groups OF our
American citizenship.
have had up the matter of the
Department of Public Works in some
personal interviews and quite agree
with you that the question is an ex-
ceedingly interesting and important
one. fear 1 should be unworthy of
public confidence if I ventured to de-
eide so important and far-reaching a
question without the very fullest
study. 1t involves the reorganization
of several departments. Undoubted-
ly, there is necessity for this but
should be very reluctant to unalter-
ably commit myself TO It without the
very fullest of understanding.
You may be interested to know that
1 have already sent for the Congress
ional hearings on this particular ques-
tion.
may say, in a general way, that
I think very well of the appointment
of an engineer on the Interstate
Commerce Commission and l have
always spoken heartily in favor Of a
progressive and constructive program
of conservation. 1 am sure you know
that favor the budget system and a

One of the most important groups
of men to the future welfare of this
nation is the American Association of
Engineers, which handle all of the
great engineering problems OF the
country, which are so vital to the
various industries of the country.
These men are among the brainiest
and best products of America, and
when they ask questions they expect
answers.
Now that the campaign Is on, 1t is
but natural that this body of men
should know what attitude will be
assumed toward the great engineer
ing problems now confronting this
country, and that they should go to
the fountain head for this informa-
ton. Questionairres were sent by
the head of the organization to Gov.
Cox and Senator Harding and replies
were secured from both. The ques-
tions were drafted at the recent an
nual convention of the engineers
which was attended by w. b. Hazen
of this city, and were as follows:
The Questions Asked
1. Are you in favor OF National
Department of Public Works, for the
purpose of reducing and coordinating
the present number of bureaus and
commissions, and reducing the useless
expenditures OF money incident there
tot
< Q. Are you in favor OF assembling
and coordinating all the engineering
and construction enterprises of the
government (excepting the purely
military works. in a department such
as the National Department of Public
| Works, TO the end that economy and
efficiency will be obtained2
s. Do you favor the appointment
of an engineer of recognized ability
and unimpeachable character as a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission2
/ 4. Do you favor a progressive and
constructive program of conservation
and development OF our natural re-
sources?
8. Do you favor the budget system
of appropriation OF public funds?
Q. Do you favor the reclamation
of waste lands by drainage. irriga-
ton, flood control or other methods
Z. Do you favor giving the settler

 DRAFT DODGERS

New Haven, May 14.---Warrants for the arrest of draft .evaders may be issued for New. Haven and vicinity shortly, it was stated yesterday. Fed eral Judges GarvinN and Chatfield, who have held court here several times in the past year, have issued, bench war rants for the arrest of 8 900 youths in Brooklyn and about 5000 in New York on charges of being sla,clers. The po- lice, of those cities will round up the alleged draft .evaders, but they will
 be prosecuted by federal attorneys. It is said the government has evil den'ce that the young men either failed to file draft questionnaires did not report for physical examination,
 did not entrain for physical exaEnira-
 tion or did not entrain for camp as required in their certificate The pen a,1ty for the offense is one year in jail
 or a $500 fine

 ton, but a final report has never beei
 made.

HAD DEEP LOVE
 FOR CHILDREN

Deep and abiding love of children was the dominating passion of The odore Roosevelt's life. Since the pub lication of the Letters to his Cilil- dren," this part has become more emphasized than ever. One of his biographers has said of him: These early letters are marked by the same quality that distinguishes, all his let ters to his children. From the young est to the eldest, he wrote to them always as his equals. As they ad- vance in life the mental level of in tercourse was raised as they grew in in te4igezrce and knowledge, but it was always as equals. that he addressed
 them.''
 The following letter written to his son Archie indicates clearly the true Roosev vettian characteristics: S) Blessed Arhie:-
 I just loved your letters. I was so glad to hear from you. ! was afraid you would have trouble with your Latin. What a funny little fellow Opdyke must be; I am glad you like
 him How do you get on at football?

DOLLAR WORTH
 BUT 48 CENTS

Speaking to factory foremen and plant executives at the Stratfietd last night, Dr. w. Warren Giles warned against putting too much dependence on present day prosperity and advised the practice of thrift to guard against the financial day of judgm ent' which he believes will come in about two years. He said the present day wealth was like gambling in Monte Carlo where theer is much changing of money but no useful productlo1-.
 He asserted that wheetlbarrows full of money do not mean actual pros perfty and said that the present pur- chasing power of the dollar is only 4S ,, cents '-For 40 years" he Said, ''peo' pie borrowed monely only for invest
 ment purposes, but now they borrow it for current bills"
