So it happened that they both
came down together on the brown
leaves where the yellow carrots
lay.
And then something dreadful
happened. Uncle Wiggily and
Sammie and the carrots, too. sank
down through the leaves into a
big hole. Right down they went
TO the bottom of the hole.
"Oh, my!' cried Sammie. What
has happened ?"
We're caught in a trap; that's
what has happened" said Uncle
Wiggily. "Some hunter put those
carrots there So we would try to
get them. He dug a hole and
spread a few leaves over it on thin
sticks to hold them up And when
we leaped we broke through, and
now we're in a hole, Samuel"

CAMPAIGNING BY PICTURE.

One of the standard ways of conducting political
campaigns has been by distributing pictures of the
candidates. Formerly Autographs of pres dential
candidates were distributed by the Million and their
races stared at you out of every other shop window
People who depored the of big sums of
money IN campaigns might well move to have this
expense cut out 1t might be argued that the voters
can form some impression of a candidate by look
ing at his picture. Yet the likencsses of candidate
are always SO smoothed up that they make good
appearance The voters who form their decisions
In this way are likely to be disappointed in results
1t has been commonly said that when the women
got the vote they would choose The handsomes, can
dldates' Yet the campaign managers have not been
N any hurry to get out their pictures Of candidates

Have you noticed that two leading gentlemen
are repeating the eulogies pronounced upon one
another after that close political conference one
holy Sabbath day in Washington? Cox appears to
have read press comments and concluded that it is
best not to again remind the people further that

"All Great Minds

All DfNdt Minus.
Editor Morning Journal:
Your editorial in your issue of
September 10, Wilson and Cox,
has been read. Other editorials of
a similar character appearing In
the Journal from time to tine have
also been read.
The writer is a supporter of Pres
ident Wilson and his policies; he
stands for Americas ratifica ton of
the peace treaty and the league
covenant as it left the peace con-
ference-without amendments or
reservations. He is therefore sup
porting Governor Cox and he is
gratified that there is perfect
agreement between the president
and his wished-for successor on the
greatest question that ever con-
fronted mankind-the abolition of
war. He believes that the league
is step in that direction and that
this nation should not shirk the
greatest responsibility that it ever
faced. 1t was not party question
and it would not have been injected
into this campaign had not re-
oCLplG Lol II lllCl IA
the hope of making political capt.
tai of it or out of it. The ar
guments against the league appear
more or less childish and silly
many of them would apply with
equal force to other nations that
have already ratified the treaty.
The writer claims to be an
American-he was a volunteer in
the great war and served with the
American expeditiolary forces in
France. However inconspicuous
and insignificant his service, he
did something toward crushing the
German military machine. He has
seen something of wars horror and
hell and he believes that the ma
lions must unite to prevent any
such cataclySm as that from which
we have recently emerged and
which came so near engulfing civ
ilization.
In Current Opinion" for the
current month there is summing
up of the arguments for the league
which the journal editor should
read and he will be forced to the
conclusion that all great minds do
not run in the same channel. The
artice-or rather the editorial-in
question is by DR.. Frank Crane, one
of the noblest men in this country
and one of its greatest writers.

Wilson, anti-league editorials in the
