COXS LEAGUE STAND
SURPRISE TO G. 0. P.

MARION, o., July 19.-The alacrity
with which the league issue has come
to the fore has caused manifest sur
prise at Harding's headquarters here.
Many of the senator's closest asso-
ciates had not expected Governor Cox
to take counsel with the president a.
the outset of his campaign nor to
take any aggressive measures to hold
up the hands of the present admins
tration, with which he has not been
closely associated.
In that event they considered 1t
possible that the league issue might
be thrust more or less in the back
ground for want of a direct point OF
conflict between the two parties.
So far however, the other ordinar
lily important issues have failed to
supply a paramount point of conflict
and the circumstances is expected &c
help keep the league controversy in
/ the spotlight.
The Harding managers are not IN
mindful that within their own party
there is some division of opinion re
garding the league, but they believe
that on direct issue of acceptance
of the Wilson policy. without the
dotting of an i, or the crossing of t.
they can count on a united Republican
front.
They are also confident that such an
issue will drive a wedge through Dem
ocratic solidarity, and they do not
propose to overlook any opportunity
thus to carry the fight into the en-
emy's territory.

Hay S74 A Ton; Piano $3.50
(Brooklvn Eagle.

The Eastern Long Island farmer
seems TO be a critical fellow. Just
because he can not use a grand plano
TO raise potatoes-there is no sort Of
affiliation, apparently, between music
and potato growing-the farmer re-
fuses to pay as much for the piano as
he will for a blind horse.
An auctioneer in Riverhead, L. l..
recently astonished the countryside
when he got the farmers to bid in
blind horse at $3.50 and loose hay for
the sensational price of STA per ton.
He reasoned that if blind horse was
worth that much a grand piano that
could make jazz music without much
effort ought to bring around $500.
But the farmers fooled him. In
spite of his coaxing, in spite of his
claims that Paderewski would be glad
to have this instrument II he only
knew it was to be sold, in spite of
his claim that the hired man would
work for less per month II there was

James Buchanan was the last presi-
dent to wrap his neck in stock, as
Monroe was the last to wear knee
breecheS-and he was the last of an
era. An age passed away as he passed
out of the white house.
After Buchanan's birth in a Pennsyl
vania log cabin, his father, who was
an Irish immigrant, prOSpered as a
country stOrekeeper, and was able TO
send his son to college. But the col
lege sent him back as a wild spirit
that it could not tame. The pastor of
the scandalzied family begged and OBJ
tanned chance for the wayward youth,
who improved it 80 we'll that he grad
uated first in his class. Nevertheless,
the still unforgiving faculty denied
him the honors of his rank
Buchanan always Loyalty credited
his mother with having exerted upon
him the greatest influence for good.
Possibly the severe lesson which he
| received from his stern alma mater
may have been somewhat responsible
| for the prosy propriety of his life ever
after.
This would be but a dull story of
law and politics were it not for a
single tragic episode which cast a
shadow over the whole after life OF
our bachelor president-the only pres
! ident to die a bachelor. A young
woman, to whom Buchanan was en-
gagged in early manhood, a daughter
of the wealthiest family in the county
wrote him a letter of dismissal under
the spell of a jealousy which had been
aroused by gOssips. Pride on both
sides kept the two apart until their
separation was made irrevOCable by
her sudden death-probably by sui
eide. In grief and horror, the young
| lover wrote to the father of the dead
| girl, begging the privilege Of looking
upon her remains and of following
them to the grave. But the letter was
returned to him unopened.
Four and forty years passed. and
Buchanan went to his grave without
ever having taken any other woman
to his heart. When his executors
opened the papers, which the aged
ex-president had left in a bank vault
they found among them little packe1
of treasured love letters from his
sweetheart of long ago. But in &C
COrdance with the request written or
the outside, those faded mementoeS
of his only love were burned withOu
breaking the seal on them.
That old wound was torn open b,
a most cruel campaign lie when Blu
Chanan was candidate for president
In this atrocious attack. he was &C
cused by the editor of the New Yorl
Herald, the elder James Gordon Ben
nett, of having gone out and hanged
himself to escape the vengeance O
brother Of his betrothed. Although
he was cut down, according to the ma
licious warn. in time to save him from
a suicidal death, it was only necessar

for Bennett to point the CredulOuS
reader to the way in which the candi-
date always carried his head tilted to
one side as proof that his neck had
been permanently twisted in his at

know that this familiar habit was due
to an imperfect vision.
