Coxiasn Revelations

If his heavy-witted attempts to
ridicule Mr.. Harding and Senators
Lodge and Moses are fair ex-
ample, Mr.. Cox is not more gifted
in satire than in sober argument.
We do not recall any Presidential
candidate who has made so straight
dive into the mire.
Senator Harding is characterized
as "stupid" and accused, to para
phrase the Coxian language, bluntly
of being a liar. Senator Lodge is
said to be the "arch- -conspirator Of
the ages" In comparison Catiline
and Guy Fawkes were amateurs
they never framed a set of reserva-
tions which Mr. Cox is now appar-
emily willing to accept. Senator
Moses escapes more easily-is merely
accused of being a reactionary. The
venerable DR.. Eliot, who has sup
ported Democratic candidates in all
recent Presidential campaigns, pre-
sided at the Boston Cox meeting.
What were his thoughts as he heard
his candidate rant on?
The general behavior of Mr.. Cox
is important. Being little known to
the country, there has been public
curiosity as to his character and the
level of his mind. 1t cannot be said
that he has failed to reveal himself.
From the time ne took the stump
he has furnished ample evidence of
what may be expected should he
be elected. AS his supporter The
Times has intimated, it has been
established that man does not need
to be more than ward politician to
be a Presidential candidate.
New-York tribune., 1920-10-21
The Party Pledges

But l do not believe that these views
are representative of the Republican
party or Of its candidate, Senator
Harding.
BY its platform, formally and SOL
emnly adopted at Chicago, the Repub-
Lean party is pledged as follows:
The Republican party stands for agree
ment among the nations to preserve the
peace of the world We believe that such
an international association must be based
upon international justice. and must pro-
vide methods 1hich shall maintain the
rule of public right by the development of
law and the decision Of impartial courts.
and which shall secura instant and gen
eral international conference whenever
peace shall be threatened by political ac-
ton, so that the nations pledged to do
and insist upon what is just and fair may
exercise their influence and power for the
prevention of war
In his speech of August % last, at
Marion, his most formal utterance upon
this subject, Senator Harding accepted
this pledge and gave it his formal sup
New-York tribune., 1920-10-21

doctrine. This is So clear that it
should penetrate even the intelli-
gence of those who are in constant
fear lest free speech be abridged.
What constitutes evidence of the
laws violation? Surely proof is
furnished when an alien voluntarily
seeks membership in an organization
which would substitute the bullet for
the ballot
A Boston judge whose ideas seem
of a zigzag pattern has ruled that
for an alien to become Communist
shows nothing, but this judgment
merely indicated the presence of
some overmastering prejudice. In
view Of Che later and better reasoned
decision it is to be hoped that Louis
F. Post, Assistant Secretary of La
Dor, will no longer seek excuses for
non-action and proceed to speed the
departure of the aliens who have
successfully mocked the law

More "Self Determination"

The inhabitants Of the Hagen
furt zone voted on October 9 to
remain attached to diminished
Austria. This decision was a dis
appointment to the Jugo- -Slavs, who
want to get control of an important
railroad junction in this district
Riots broke out after the plebiscite
and Jugo-Slav troops marched in to
restore order. Is Klagenfurt to be
another Fiume, another Wilma?
Austria, however, has little right
to complain of any attempt on Jugo-
Slavla's part to nullify the pro-
visions of the St. Germain treatv
Her government recently ordered a
popular referendum on the oues-
ton of uniting with Germany. The
st. German treaty recognizes the
independence of the reduced Aus
trian state and forbids union with
Germany. In the Versailles Ire sty
Germany promised to respect Aus
trian independence and agreed that
that independence should be inalien-

When Anarchists Are Anarchists

The domain of Uncle Sam is wide
and his hospitality is generous, but
there is DO room under his flag for
aliens who seek 20 bring about a
forcible overthrow of institutions
which he has established.
This is not only the express law
of the land, but is policy supported
by both righteousness and common
sense. So both as lawyer and a
citizen Judge Knox finds that one
Max Abern should forthwith be de-
ported. Abern is a member of the
Communist party, and as such, the
court holds, necessarily an upholder
of the force doctrine. The only
issue in his case was whether such
party membership established guilt.
If man belongs to an organiza-
tion whose conspicuous tenet is that
a minority may shoot the majority
into obedience to its orders, such a
man certainly believes in the force

Trade With South Africa

The increase of American trade
in South Africa seems to be causing
concern to British interests, here
tofore supreme in that rapidly de-
veloping market. During 1919 more
than one-half Of all the boots and
shoes imported by South Africa
came from the United States, while
this country provided 70 per cent
of the automobiles. In 1913 only 3
per cent of the motorcycles import
cd by South Africa were of Ameri-
can make; last year the figure had
risen to 67 per cent. Before the
war British manufacturers had
practically monopoly in supplying
motor trucks; now the United States
is selling so per cent of all pur-
chased by South Africa.
Orders for insulated cable. for
merly confined to the United King
dom, are now divided, America le-
ceiving % per cent of such orders
and Japan 8 per cent. AS for cleo
trical goods other than cable, the
United States already is ahead of
Great Britain and is keenly conf
peting with machinery, engineers
supplies, etc. In principal lines of
iron and steel manufacture last
year South Africa imported a total
Of $4,000 tons in round numbers.
Of this the United Kingdom sup
piled little more than $1,000
tons, Canada some 4,6OO tons and
the United States $4,000 tons. I'M
ports of various kinds from Aus
tralia were of greater value than
ever before, while South Africa's

Normal Prodigies

1T is wholesome sign that with
the latest freshman prodigy, aged
twelve, there comes insistent protest
that our young know-it- all is a regu-
lar boy who can swim and play ball,
and even sing the college songs.
Photographs submitted in evidence
show rather heavy youngster smil-
ing cheerfully as if to say that his
spirits were still unbroken by the
weight of wisdom lodged in his skull.
Perhaps we are over-optimistic,
but we are inclined to take this new
recognition Of the desrability of
balance between body and mind as
at least promise of a better sense
about this whole subject. The old
method stood for frank fight, in
college life, between the advocates Of
the mind and the advocates of the
body The entire faculty led the
cohorts of study and learning; the
entire student body, barring only the
despicable grinds, fought for the
other side. There was no chance
for middle ground Such was the
rigor Of the battle. The gang spirit
prevailed in either army. Success
was so important that every means
was sanctified in the sight of the
warriors. Grinds were "greasy"
and impossibilities; professors were
inherited enemies, to be evaded and
tricked at all cost. In such a con-
test neutrality was IMPOSSIBLE Study
was the football kicked from end to
end of the field.
Now faculties have been learning
sense, and students show some indi-
cations of responding. Once ath-
letics and other extra-curricula ac-
tivities are accorded an honorable
place by the powers that be, the chief
basis of the old quarrel disappears.
A few pioneers among teachers have
led the way toward this new under
standing. Another decade can see it
the prevailing rule. The day will
come when the grind will be as much
despised by the faculty as by his
fellow students; and, similarly, the
mere athlete, who hunks and hunks
and flunks, will no longer be hero
among his fellows. Some sort of
balance between mind and body will
be the agreed goal Of college life.
At least, such is the hope-perhaps
shade fantastic at the present
writing, but still a reasonable prod
uct of wholesomer tendencies in all
our colleges and universities.
