JAMES N. cox 10 TAE NOMINEE

JAMES N. cox - THE NOMINEE.
James 81 Cox was born at Jackson
burg. Butler county, Ohio. March 81,
1870. He has public and
high school education. His enrly
life was spent working on farm
and attending school. His par-
ents were not even comfortably sup.
piled with money and young Cox had
to work for all he got"
While still boy he became printers
devil on Cincinnati newspaper and
then after. u short season teaching
school, became reporter on the Gin
cinnati Enquirer.
Ills shrewd appraisal Of men and
things won him favor In the sight of
Paul SorR millionaire tobacco man.
and, when Sorg was elected to Con
gress In the '90s, Cox became his pri-
vate secretary. That was the Ohio
governors real entry into politics. His
acuteness as q secretary caused 6Qrg
to bick him financially In buying the
Dayton News In 1893.
Within two yenrs the News. from u
liability. became one Of Dayton's best
paying enterprises. II was Cox's un.
canny perception Of public opinion that
made him n successful editor. At that
time he showed no signs Of becoming q
reformer.
As the paper grew and sarnsd more
money, Cox bought the Springfield
Press. Republic In 1903 and formed the
News League OF Ohio with himself as
owner and editorial director.
It was In 1909 thnt Cox, who had
had his "eye on" Ohio politics since his
season in Washington. made formal %.
try into state politics. He served the
Third Ohio district In Congress from
that year until 1913. Then no was
elected governor. Rspublicsns said
that his election a. Democrat was an
accident.
He WAS dsfeated for reelection By
Frank b. Willis. Republican, but ip
1917 Cox "came back" defeating vii.
lis with big plurality. He was elect,
ed for two-year term In 1914 and had
lnraay asSuned office before the grsai
floods swept Dayton and the Miaml
and 0cioto valleys.

Cement Shortage Holds Up
Highway Work

On account of the garbage
placed on cars, shipments of stone
into lower Delaware for the con-
struction of the highways have
been stopped, and improved road
work within the next two weeks, it
is believed will be practically at a
standstill. The cars which hereto
fore have been used in transport
ing the stone have been ordered to
the mines for distribution of coal
The cement shortage is holding
up work on some of the contracts
where the contractors have a suf.
ficient amount of stone to last TO,
two or three weeks run, and the
prospects for supply for the mex
few weeks seem dark.

Mixup in Game Laws Is Claimed

GAS the result OF an omission in
an amendment to the game laws of
the State, passed by the Legisla-
ture at the special session last
spring and signed by the Cover
nor, it is claimed it will be unlaw-
full to shoot rabbits until a change
is made in the act. The open sea-
son for rabbits was entirely omit
ted, and therefore it is now illegal
to shoot rabbits in Delaware at
any time, tits contended. The pur-
pose of the amendment referred to
was to make it unlawful for any
one to have game hsh in his pos
session during the closed season.
The method of amending a law
since the new code went into effect
several years ago is to cite the
entire section of the old law to be
amended, but making the changes
proposed. Such amendments auto
matically repeal the former law.
This was done in the case cited,
but the unfortunate part is that
the open season for rabbits in the
old law, November Is to Decem-
ber 81, inclusive, was not included
lin the amended bill. The open
season for all other game was re-
enacted in the amended bill. Even
in re-enacting the open season for
other game, a mistake was made
which may cause a serious mix-up
with gunners. Instead of using the
open season dats of the game law
of 1919, those who prepared the
amendment used the dates con.
tanned in the law of 1915, and 6
number of these had been changed
by the later law passed in 1919
The result of all these errors ant
mix-ups has put our sportsmen in
somewhat Of a quandary and be
fore the cumming season opens, the
State authorities will be asked tt
render an opinion. With game
plentiful local sportsmen do moi
want to miss the opportunity fo,
some good sport. Smyrna Times

SERVICE CHART ISSUED
FOR HOG CHOLERA

In its efforts to hold down hog
cholera with a reduced force, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is putting out a new type
OF poster. In a sense it is a service
chart. Its picture says to- the
farmer, "When your hog looks like

Railroads to Relieve Congestion

The Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and 1hio Railroad officials are
putting forth great efforts to re
lleve the congestion in freight ON
their lines. While all the railroads
of the county are affected to an ex-
tent by the embargo, the condi-
tions in the East are not so good.
The. people of the West, conse-
quently are suffering because of
insufficient cars to move materials.
A Neutrality-suspicious. limit has
been instituted by the B. and O.
Railroad, in which cars must be
unloaded or loaded, as the case
may be. unloading drives" are
being instituted by the company
to assist in relieving the situation.
Special crews will be available to
move all cars placed on sidings.
The crews went on duty at 6
o'clock Saturday evening and
worked all evening. A similar plan
was followed Sunday evening. -
Monday morning the cars were
moved in the direction of the terri
tory needing them, according to
orders from the general superin-
tendent of transportation.
Chamber of Commerce bodies
and other civic organizations
throughout the United States are
supporting the railroad in this
campaign.

TRY A LITTLE SMILING

Try a little smiling
When the world goes wrong;
Drop the tone of scolding,
Change to one of song.
Nothing lasts forever;
Love and beauty die.
Make the best of the present
Ere it passes by.
Clouds must come, and sorrow
'Tis the way of life;
Still, the silver lining
Shines upon the strife,
And the sorrow lessons,
Bringing with it calm.
Ev'ry pain of living
Has it's own sweet balm!
Try a little smiling,
Though the effort cost.
You will find that never
Is it's radiance lost;
Through the darkness shining
Ev'ry star has place.
Try little smiling,
Trouble to efface.

being additional appropriation
from the National government to
be matched dollar for dollar by
the states.
Commenting on the necessity
for additional funds, Dr.. Strayer
told of an investigation conduct
ed by the Russell Sage Founda-
tion which disclosed the fact that
education in 1914-15 cost the
United States $5OO,000, 900. In the
year 1919-2O, it cost $750,00O,-
900, due to increased salaries and
efforts to make the school plants
adequate. BY 1925 it has been
estimated that approximately ST.
SOC, 100000 will be needed. This
he showed is necessary to give
not only every boy and girl but
every man and woman in Amer
ica an opportunity for education
and put the schools on a proper
basis.
One heavy increase that is re-
uuired he said is the increasing
of teachers salaries. In the last
four or five years the teachers
salaries have been increased 81
Der cent but the cost Of living
has gone up more than 100 per
cent, which really puts the teach
er in the position of receiving
less salary now than they did be-
fore the war.
DR.. Strayer contended that the
boys and girls in America living
in the rural districts have not
had a chance as far as education
is concerned compared with those
living in the cities.
The speaker was optimistic as
| to the situation in Delaware ano
said he had every reason to hope
that Delaware would work ou'
her system of education salts
factorily.
| After the lecture, DR.. Strayel

tives-members of the Walton
family from Iron Hill.
