VILLAGE OVERRUN BY DOGS
Housewives Of Silver Lake, New York,
Had to Guard Kitchens From the
Hungry Animals.

The hamlet Of Silver Lake, on the
outskirts Of White Plains, N. Y, is all
"het' up because Of the large number
Of dogs that have migrated to that
section. according TO the New York
Evening Sun. In the daytime they for
age through the town and at night
they make sleep impossible by their
bowling.
Silver Lake has a population of
about 500 persons, and 1t is said that
there are 141 dogs, one lap poodle and
half a dozen hounds by actual count.
A staid old resident says that there
Is every kind of a dog imaginable in
Silver Lake-small ones, big ones,
short ones, long ones, dogs with no
tail and n eye, lean ones and fat
ones, but mostly lean ones
This great influx of dogs to Silver
Lake has created many nuisances. In
fact, the housewives don't dare leave
their kitchen doors unlocked or half a
dozen hungry nuts will be roaming
around trying to find something to eat.
The story is told of how IN woman
baked a raisin pie for supper for her
husband. She left it on the kitchen
table to cool while she went about her
household duties. A little later she
heard a great connection, and when
she went to the kitchen she found half
a dozen hungry CANNES, big and little,
fighting for the last raisin of her pie.
She struck them with a broom, but
that did not do any good, because they
had her pie.

Deeds participated while an officer of the United States army would be legal, in view of the fact that such military office automatically becomes vacant under the statutes the mom- ent he proceeds to perform the functions of a evil officer, is one that Secretary Baker has entirely glossed ever.
 Much Praise for Deeds by Cox.
 It is interesting to note that the Moraine City aeroplane plant, which was erected on the Conservancy options, is now being offered for sale to the United States government for three million dollars, though there is good reason to believe that the government furnished most of the money for the machinery which is installed in this plant.
 Governor Cox's newspapers, as we'll as his public speeches, are filled with fattering encomiums of Deeds and his associates. One of the in teresting leads in the senatorial in vestigation of the campaign funds, therefore, concerns the amount of money which Deeds and his associ- ates in the aeroplane scandal have contributed or plan to contribute to the fund to make Cox President of the United States.-Nat.

We found excellent roads in New York state and they compare favor are said to be the best in the U. s. Soon after leaving the falls wa came on to what is called the Million Dol lar highway, a fine paved road run ming east through Rochester, and we had paved road nearly all the way into Connecticut from there. The numerous lakes and rivers added much to the scenery and our hip through the Empire State was de- lightful. Crossing the Hudson river at Albany we drove down the east side to Poughlleepsie, then turning east it did not take long to get into Danbury, where we stopped a short time to see my sister. Twenty miles more and we were at the old home near Shelton, having driven 2.7S2 miles and through 12 states. We were six weeks in making the trip but could have made it in much less time had we not stopped to visit friends and relatives.
 We saw many camping arrange ments on the road and it was quite interesting to see the different out fits. Our car has the back of the front seat cut down and fixed on hinges so that we could lay it back at. night on a level with the cushion and sleep in the car. The mattress and bedding were rolled up and car ried on the rear seat during the day, unrolling it forward at night after letting down the back of the front seat. We had a feather mattress and it made a very comfortable bed, with a box or our suit cases under the front end. A canvas cover, IA by IF, was carried to put over the car at night. We had a box on the running board for food, the side of the box fixed so we could let it down for a table. For cooking we had small Swedish stove which was gen. erated with gasoline but burned kerosene under air pressure. 1t made very hot fire and would work we'll in quite a wind.

GOVERNOR COX AND
 THE OHIO SCANDAL
X Billion, Not a Few Millions, Were the
 Stake

Republican National Chairman Will H. Hays, in denouncing Candi- date Cox's charge of a conspiracy to buy the Presidency, said: Candidate Cox, himself a millionaire, has had intimate knowledge of the wasting of millions in aircraft production in his state."
 This, of course, is a reference to the billion dollar scandal which cen- tered in Dayton, Ohio, during the war, as result of which Colonel E.. A. Deeds, after a prolonged and searching inquiry by former Su- preme Court Justice Charles E.. Hughes, was recommended by the latter for court martial. There was spent $1,051, 100000 preparing to manufacture aeroplanes, and not a single combat plane was ever turned out. The people of Ohio will read fly recall the facts in this case. Colo nel Deeds, instead of being tried by court martial, was whitewashed by Secretary of War Baker.
 Deeds and Cox are close personal friends. Their elaborate estates ad- join few miles out of Dayton. They have mutual business interests. In fact, Deeds has become Governor Cox's close personal, political and financial adviser. During the long vigil preceding Cox's nomination at San Francisco, Deeds never left Cox's side. Deeds is understood to be one of the heaviest contributors 1 5o cox's campaign f1ad. There are

 Crossing the Mississippa at Hlnni- bal, Mo. (Mark Twain's birthplacel we found very dusty roads in lii nois. We spent five days at Peoria, H., with Mrs. Dimon's aunt. Peoria is the second largest city in the state and has a population of about 100,- 900. The parks and cemeteries were especially beautiful and we enjoyed our visit very much. In the west tke principal highways are called ';trails". The Sante Fe trail, winch we followed from California to Mis- souri, was we'll marked with red, white and blue enameled signs on metal posts and usually giving the distances to several places in each direction. Many of the other trails were marked with paint on the tele- graph poles. The Cannon Ball trail, from Quincy, H., to Chicago, was marked by black c and black ball on a white field. The Indian Head trail, by an Indian head on a white field; the Corn Belt trail, by yell low ear of corn; the Jeffernon high way by the letters J and H and q blue and white field, etc.
 Leaving Peoria We followed the Indian Head trail to Bloomington, then the Bloomington Way (white B on black background) to the Indiana line. The Indiana roads were quite good (gravel and mGcadam) and we enjoyed the trip through this state. The scenery began to remind me of Connecticut and there were some forests something we had not seen much of since leaving New Mexico. The only night we were in the state was spent by country schoolhouse and we liked it so we'll that we camp ed by a schoolhouse the following night in Ohio.
 Trip Through Ohio
 Our trip through Ohio was also pleasant and led along the beautiful Sandusky river the first part of the way, and then later along the shore of Lake Erie. The drive along the lake shore was especially pretty and the road was good, being paved with brick for the most part. On our second night in Ohio we camped near the large city of Cleveland, and in passing through the city the next morning we drove along the famous Euclid avenue where there are so many beautiful residences, among them that of John l.. Rockefeller, the St;. lard Oil magnat During the afternoon of this d; we were in three states, passing rom Ohio to the northwestern co .er of Pennsyl- vc.:iia into New Ycrk state.

A Campaign of Deception on g Platform of Forgery.

Senator Lodge has done well to remind the country that the Demo- cratic campaign of deception now progressing so rapidly in falsifcation under the personal guidance of Gov ernor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt was presided over at it's inception by an artist in forgery.
 It was an utterance of Senator Lodges which the Forger of San Francisco tore from its context, garbled in it's wording, marked with a false date, and, inserted in the Democratic platform through the Committee on Resolutions of the Ma tional Democratic Convention.
 The maltreated imitation of a quo tation was used in an effort to dis credit Senator Lodge. The insertion of his name in the Democratic plat form was a compliment to Senator Lodges importance as a champion of American independence perhaps un- precedented in the history of plat form making. The forgery exposed at one stroke the unscrupulousness and the lack of prudence and ordin- ary common sense of the men who were guilty of an offence against morals which is not penalized by the criminal law only because it's audac- ity and stupidity surpass the fore sight and imagination of even the most forward looking law makers.
 Senator Lodge has carried the his tory of the sentences mutilated by the builders of the Democratic plat form back to it's beginning. The Forger of San Francisco gave De- eember, 1918, as the date of publi- cation of the article from which he dishonestly said he quoted, and as- signed as it's place of publication the Forum magazine. The file of the Forum established the facts that in December of 1918 that magazine was not fortunate enough to carry any contribution from Senator Lodge but that in June of the same year it had printed the article the Forger of San Francisco mutilated in the hope of making a Democratic point.
 It is established by Senator Lodges Concord speech that the Forum article was an address de- livered by him in October of 1917 before the Massachusetts Historical Society, and printed in. the Proceed ings of that society for that month The Forum reprinted the article with the permission of the Massachusetts Historical Society, giving it wider circulation than it could have in the highly specialized Proceedings. The Forum made proper and honorable explanation of the origin of the ar tiia1e. The Forger of San Francis e, who at first appeared to haY4 forged six months as to the date o1 the utterance, is now shown to have forged thirteen months.
 The Democratic party officials re tuctantly acknowledged the si, months forgery in the official prin of the platform adopted at Sar Francisco. They have not yet ac knowledged the mutilation of Sena tor Lodges words, nor have the! acknowledged the actual thirteer months of forgery.
