this capitol OF Ohio from all parts Of
the State is that Pomerene stands
well in the business community. But
the national interestinShess OF the
situation will not depend on Pom.
erene's winning. 1t will be equally
great--in this matter of who is to
be the Democratic partys next
presidential standard bearer-if he
loses.
IL Atiee Pomerene Of Canton fails
to carry Ohio this fall, will not the
faithful friends Of James NJ. Cox.
Of Dayton, be confirmed in their
conviction that the defeat Of Cox by
Harding in the presidential cam
paign of 1920 must be attributed 10
the nature Of the times and not II
the qualities of Cox and will they
not all the more firmly demand that
Cox be given another chance to lead
the Democratic party to victory in
new times?
The answer seems to be that they
will.
They will point out that Pomerene
has not proved himself to be Joshua
for leadership across Jordan into the
promised land and they will say that
the thing to do Is to return to the
Moses who conveyed the Ark of the
Covenant of the League Of Nations
Loyalty through the desert Of 1920.
The defeat Of Pomerene this fall
might be the Strengthening of Cox
for the nomination of 1924.
On the other hand a victory by
Pomerene in President Harding s
home State over some Republican
having President Harding's blessing
upon him, would seem to be a sort
OF outright amounting of Pomerene
for the task of trying to defeat Fresi-
dent Harding himself in 1922, but in
the political talk OF this State there
is tone which indicates a chance
that the person who would profit
most from Pomerene's victory would
not be Pomerene but William G.
McAdoo.
Coxs friend might well remain
faithful to him for the presidency
even IL Pomerene won the senator

nomination of 1922. Cox and Pomrr.
enc would be the two dogs fighting
over bone and when they got 1t

would be the third dog of the fable

The Democrats in these parts
do not despair of winning the next

quarters today | heard the opin-

over again, in impassioned conversa-

this belief is we'll founded-that this

who can, are anxious to be present.
In future the reunions will be held

dependence, but why tell him so. If a
man is common he knows it without
your telling him, and it does not help
him or make for his uplift or your
happiness for you to rub it in. And
after all is said on the subject no
man is common and every man is

Plea For Temperance.
"The next warning falls easily into
line. Avoid excesses of every sort,
excessive working, excessive playing,
excessive eating,s excessive sleeping
and above all excessive drinking. In
temperance is today as it has always
been the greatest evil of the times.
Just as it is unnecessary for women
to bedaub and besmear their faces
with powder and paint, like savages,
so youth needs no stimulant.
"There are many PHILOSOPHERS of
life and living. the Epicurean, who
finds the summum bonunl in the
greatest pleasure; the Ascetics, who
90 to the extreme to make life merely
the time for preparation for eternity,
and then the Stoics and their SUI
preme patience and acquiescence
with things as they are. Whatever
is is right / admire the patient res
ignation to the will of God as incul-
Gated in philosophy of the Stole. They
approached nearest to Christianity
but they neglected the human ele-
ment. 1t is human to suffer pain and
it is human to enjoy pleasure.
"The Christian philosophy, en-
bodied in the life and teachings of
Jesus Christ, added the human ele-
ment: Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart and with all
thy soul and with all thy mind. This
is the first and greatest command
ment. And the second is like unto it.
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
SELF
"This is the Christian philosophy
The fatherhood of God, the brother,
hood of mana philosophy to live by

Back to Richmond!

VINO OF our TSdueTS WOulu Inc w
help an old Confederate soldier, who
spent four years of his life in the SER
vice of his Southland and many long
months of that time in Richmond
hospital, get last view of the old
scenes of his young manhood days
In Statesboro there is an old sol
dier-he told us on the street today
he is 80 year old-who inevitably is
nearing tlife's sunset. He is an up
right man, member of one of the
churches of the city. Possessing little
of this worlds goods, his life for
years has been battle against hard
ships. Asked today if he would at
tend the Richmond reunion, his face
became animated and he replied. 81
certainly would love to. l certainly
would" And then he recounted to US
the time he spent in the battle-fields
beyond Richmond while he was in
hearing of the cannon's booming
around Washington; how he became
i'll and was brought back to Rich
mond and placed in hospital where
he spent many months. 81 certainly
would like to get back there once
more, but I wont be able to. My lit
tie pension money hasn't come yet,
and I need it sorely. Even if it should
come, might not be able to stand
the trip. I am almost worn out"
And we wondered if among the
hundreds of this old mans friends
there might be someone who would
find pleasure in offering him the trip
to Richmond. He might not be able
to accept, but the offer would not be
wasted-hee would appreciate it. He
might be able to go if things were
made easy for him.
Does somebody want to tender this
old soldier the trip? Then ask US his
name and go to him in person. Don't
ask through mere curiosity.
If you are able and disposed to
spare the little amount that would
mean so much to him, just content
yourself with wondering who he is.

Of course, this old gentleman OF
the Sixties will be at Richmond, if he
is physically able to take the trip. Nc
appeal likt this can be made in Geor'

to the men who followed the Stars

Sending Photographs Through
the Air.

A few weeks ago the newspapers
reported that a photograph of the
King of Italy had been dispatched
from the wireless station at Nauen
in Germany and reproduced by the in
struments at our own station at Bar
Harbor. The remarkable feat is the
result of years of experimenting by
electrical experts all over the world.
The experiments began before. wire
less communication was possible,
when the object was to send photo
