NEW YORK, May 23. - James NJ.
Cox Of Ohio. here yesterday on busi-
ness which he declared was of a
strictly non-political nature, ex-
pressed a conviction that the forth
coming presidential campaign would
be waged around two issues, and that
the Democratic party had a better
than-even chance to win.
The issues would be. he said:
!. Foreign policy: The Republican
party standing fast by the standard
or isolation" and the opposition
fighting for international participa-
tion.
2. Domestic policy: The present ad-
ministration defending the "unholy
alllance of government and business
recently disclosed at Washington"
ana the Democratic party contending
Ior divorce of that alliance and a
tarln that will not make it possible
Silent on Candidates.
OF the relative merits of candidates
for presidential nomination by his
party Cox would say nothing, except
tnat the decision of Ohio to instruct
lts delegation solidly for him was
an act of loyalty that he appreciated.
he declined also to discuss the possi-
pllty that prohibition would be a
campaign issue. OF the bonus, tax
and immigration legislation lately en-
acted in Congress he said tersely: "It
only shows the deplorabIe lack of po-
htical leadership"
But" he said. "the presidential
election Is going to furnish the coun-
affection for Woodrow Wilson and
the developing confidence in the wis
dom of its policies. Take the Dawes
pan; those knowing the inside of the
Versailles peace conference know that
the reparations recently fixed for Ger
many approximated the figures viii
son had in mind"
Not Undertaking for Profit.
The Democratic party is not muck
raklng for political profit" in the in
Eestiga tions at Washington, Mr.. Cox
declared. although the Investigations
could have been called off about April
i without diminished effectiveness
and with profit to the country"
We have had a spectacle Of the
greatest government in the world
embrofled in the greatest political
scandal in history" he continued "It
mas oeen more than misfortune to
tne party In power; it has been a ma
I1onal misfortune. We don't want the
Democratic interests promoted at the
expense of national disaster. 1 hope
tnat way TO end 1t all will come
through dignified discussion of the
issue during the coming Campaign
Thomas Jefferson was a pretty wise
old fellow after all, when he pro-
posed that the government, rather
than individuals, finance political
campaigns"
Mr.. Cox would like to see this gov
ernment pledged to foreign policy
under which it would enter the league
or nations, bringing all other govern
ments into it also under such terms
I'VE have waited four wears for
something with which to replace the
league, he said. but nothing has
been offered by those who did most to
Keep US out of the league of nations"

SLATE TO BE UNPLEDGED.
Mississippi Democratic County
Conventions Back Harrison.

JACKSON, Miss, May 23.-That the
Democratic state convention, to be
held in this city on May 80, will have
a majority of delegates in sympathy
with the views Of United States Sena-
tor Pat Harrison that uninstructed
ENJOYS be sent to the national con-
vention in New York, was indicated
by reports today from yesterdays
county conventions.
Only a comparatively few of the
eighty-two counties had reported, but
majority of those heard from
showed that the delegates were
pledged to vote for an uninstructed
delegation.
Supporters of the candidacy of
Senator Oscar w. Underwood of Ala
bama, who waged a stubborn fight
for an instructed delegation for him,
reported victory in some counties and
defeat in others.

NEW YORK, May ga committee
of seven appointed after the death of
Charles F. Murphy to administer the
affairs of Tammany Hall will remain
in power, it is announced, until July
10, when the Democratic national
convention will be over.
In some quarters the belief is ex-
pressed that Gov. Smith will be chosen
to head Tammany should delegates to
the convention blast his presidential
hopes. Prominent members of Tam
many say that is not so, however.
The committee of seven is headed
by Frank j. Goodwin, who will be
the nominal head of the wigwam
until July 15. Three women are mem
berS of the committee. Decision to
keep power in the committee Of seven
is said to have been reached by the

ing TO ATmsgsddOn
But millions now
living will never die.

THE WORLD faces a condition never
before experienced Fear has taken
hold upon all classes of people be-
cause they see in a measure the things
coming upon the earth. The nations
are in distress and perplexity.
THE WAR did not make the world
safe for democracy. The very foun-
dations OF civilization are now shaken
by revolution, labor strikes, official
lawiessness, prolteers, Bolsheyism
and anarchy. Both capital and labor
are resorting to extreme measures.
The common people have lost conf
-ence in their leaders. The clergy
have abandoned the Word OF God and
joined hands with big business and
big politicians in an attempt to con-
troll the world, and these are opposed
by radical forces.
EUROPE is completely bankrupt, with
her restless host of unemployed and
discontents hourly increasing. Bel
ligerant organizations are rapidly
numbering their men and taking ac-
count OF their strength. All contend
ing forces are fastening to the great
battle of Armageddon. The disaster
resulting is beyond the description Of
human words.
BUT let the people take heart. The
Lord will cut short the trouble, bring
order out OF chaos, establish peace
and righteousness; and millions of
people now living will become ODE
dent 10 his order of righteousness and
will live on earth forever in peace and
happiness.

CRITICISM.
SUPERVISION OF scHoHI.s IS A NEED.
Less EXPENSE.
RESPONSE:

Maryland is supplying all OF its
schools with skilled supervisors of in
struetion, with little immediate cost 10
the eountiee, since the State bears two
thirds o. the salary expense out oil
funds raised largely by corporation
taxes. This piece Of legislation has
done and viii continue 70 do more
to improve the rural schools than any
other single legislative act in the his
tory OF the State.
II Is sometimes argued that a teacher
does not need the assistance and ilrec-
ton that may be given by q trained
supervisor. No other business or pro-
fession is carried on without close and
constant supervision, and in no other
profession or business Is the need so
great as in teaching.
The large department stores in Bal
timore have found that their success IS
conditioned upon close and constant
supervision OF employees, and conse-
quently they place one supervisor over
twenty-ave TO thirty salespeople. AZ
the Maryland University Hospital.
one nurse has charge Of from ten TO
fourteen nurses, her duties being sole
ly TO direct and supervise the others.
For nearly one hundred years school
authorities have been trying to develop
rural schools without direction and
supervision and have failed The
public is certainly entitled 10 the same
efficiency in the organization OF It's
business and the same wise expenditure
OF its money that is found in any sue
cessful private enterprise. This can
be accomplished largely by placing
we'll trained and competent admins
traitors in charge of the schools and
providing a properly trained teacher
staff with sufficient number of capa-
l5le supervisors.
The State Board of Education de-
nands high professional qualiica-
ions of the supervisors In Maryland
nd furthers. in every way their con-
nued professional growth in service
Ugh standards Of accomplishment are
1 by the State and adhered to. The
iperyisory function is the improve
ent Of instruction, and when one
'mpares the work in the rural schools
day with that OF ten years ago, the
ange is phenomenal :
There is organization of what to
teach and how 10 teach it where
formerly there was chaos
Definite detectives for the progress
OF the children are formulated
where before there was no guide.
The need OF more boz ks and sup.
plies has been made manifest, and
these are now more generously
provided.
Teachers, from poorly prepared be-
ginners TO those OF experience and
superior merit, are developed and
inspired 10 professional growth by
means Of supervisory visits to the
schools and of teachers meetings.
There are certain critics who admit
the value of supervision for mex
perienced teachers, but who ques-
ton its value for experienced
teachers. The best answer TO this
is found in the words of the late
Professor Stephen S. Colvin
Experience if guided and inter
preted Is absolutely essential to
the best teaching, but experience
as mere experience offers no GER
tain means OF improvement in
the art of teaching. Bad expe-
rience without evaluatiOn and
critical analysis may be, and not
infrequently is, worse than no ex-
perience at all.
