He stands committed un- peatedly said was the “heart of the treaty” and that to cut it out would be to “break the heart of the world.” He is also the avowed champion of =a the Armenian mandate. © ; z That the Democratic nominee promises to liquidate, underwrite and assume the internation- al obligations.to which Mr; Wilson desires to com- mit this nation is $horoughly established in a statement made by Cox following his Whité House conference. On that occasion he said: | “What.he promised,.I shall, if elected, endeav- or with all my strength to ‘give.” = The traditional policies: of the American re- = public become subsidiary considerations to the ‘‘ Wilsonian promises made without mandate or consent of the United States senate. '- Governor Cox’s statement is probably the most remarkable one ever made by a presidential can- = didate. It ott Wilsohs Wilson in its determina- tion to champion the cause’ of internationalism as -defined at‘the Paris peace conference. The campaign, ‘then, as far as the Democratic party is concerned is to'secure from the American people an endorsement of the Wilson policies. and a vindication of the Wilson dynasty.

During the presidential primaries’ the League of Nations such as it is conceived by Wilson was re- pudiated ‘emphatically. ‘The American people do not feel that they are acting in bad faith in re- je¢ting an instrument’ written in Paris and con- ceived in-an environment absolutely dominated by | s European diplomats who do not understand the Ay heart of the American ‘people and who have no -particular concern for their ideals and aspirations, | E ‘There is no intentidn to act in what Mr. Cox i terms “threatened bad: faith to the world,” but an Se there is a determinatipn,in these United States to make the, League of Nations idea square with American purposes. © sie . The forces who put Cox over at San Francisco thought they had shunted the Wilsonian liabil- ities. . Their hopes have been blasted. Cox enters the campaign: as the defender of the Wilson pol- icies and a champion of what the chief executive “> has promised without’ instructions from the == American people. * . ee : | 2). :JAPAN’S DEMOCRACY ; ‘The Japanese people’ have resolved not to be ' denied the rights of democracy.” Mass-meetings i insistingupon manhopd suffrage have become so threatening in Tokio hat the’ police are trying to suppress them.

It is a foolish policy which gives the ballot only - to those with property qualifications. Property : needs no more protection than does humanity. The peg military element in Japan, with its medieval sense : of loyalty to the throne, and its contempt for un- disciplined outbursts of feeling, does not favor democracy. But, neither did it favor opening Japan to intercourse with the western nations. Efficiency, however, is Japan’s watchword. Efficiency cannot prevail if the Japanese people t are in a constant state of political turmoil. Japan’s ; leaders eventually will understand this, for when efficiency is in question, their minds work with aj H rigid impersonality. Meanwhile, to all observers of democratic evo- lution, Japan will be the most interesting nation in the world, for the next few years. Never be- fore has an oriental race risen in the democratic scale. How Japan makes her‘rise will be fraught 4 with vast consequences for the East, and conse- Oe quently for civilization at large.

Once more, the legations at Pekin are: preparing to withstand a possible siege. In the province of Chi-li, where the late dictator, Yuan Ski Kai, gained his first reputation as an autocrat, native’ troops are threatening to restore the monarchy again. The turmoil will eventually wear itself out, as it always does in China. But, there will be a con- stant reappearance, until China removes all mili- tary authority from the governors of her prov-|_ inces. sy id An effort is being made to unite the progres- sive, non-military elements among the leaders of north and south China, and to form a new gov- ernment. Dr. Wu Ting Fang, China’s former min- ister to the United States, is the moving spirit in this compromise suggestion. If it succeeds, a gen- eral reorganization may result, which will give to China an orderly era of reform. If Dr. Wu and his associates fail, China’s chronic illnesses of dis- order arid conflicting authority will continue to re- pel all efforts to cure ‘the ponderous patient.

It seéMs as if hardly any- body ‘were at work these days, if one judges by the number_of persons he sees who are not at work, The picture houses are full of men at every i A performance, afternoons as well as evenings. The baseball games are attended by large crowds. The golf courses are always occupied. The clubs are enjoying large attendance. The streets are filled with.men as well as:‘women. Down here by the river, where a bridge is being built, there are long lines of idle men:watchmg the workers. At every comnttystation Where the train halts, there is the customary number of persons who“seem to be ‘just hanging around.” : : Of course many of these people whom we see} are employed. ‘Some ‘of'them work at night, and have a few hours of leisure during the day. Oth- ers are attending to their business when we see them passing upon, the streets. It is often the case that' the fellow who we think is an idler, as we see him lolling around a cigar store or pool hall has done a good day’s work. But, even so, it does seem that only a small per cent of the human‘race is employed. Certainly where there is a piece of work going on in the city there are more people] watching it than there are employed in the con- struction.—Columbus, 0O., Dispatch. ‘ AN ELECTION HYPOTHESIS There has been considerable talk of the possi- bility that if the so-called “third party” should prove to be a formidable vote-getter in Novem- ber, the electoral college might be so divided that the election of a president: would be thrown into the House of Representatives. Such a contingency would result only if.the third party should carry one or more of the states for presidential electors. The Constitution proyides that, to.be elected in the usual way, a presidential candidate must have a majority of all the votes of the electoral college. There are now 531 votes in the electoral college. Of these, 266 are necessary to elect. If, for the sake of illustration, Senator Harding should have 263 electoral votes, Governor. Cox 256, and the third party should elect the 12 electors of Min- nesota, ne candidate would have a majority of the college, and the election would then devolve on the House of Répresentatives, unless the Minne- sota electors should choose to vote for the Re- publican or Demorcratic candidate, as they would have a legal, if not a moral right to do. : When election goes to the House of Representa- tives the vote is taken by states, and each state is entitled to one vote. A majority of the states thus recorded is necessary to a choice. For purposes of the coming election the present House of Representatives is the one that would’, choose a president if the electoral college should fail|to function in the:usual way. Twenty-nine of the 48 states, or five more than half of them, have Republican majority delegations in the House. It is a foregone conclusion, therefore, that if the el&tion shuld go-to the House, that body would choose a Republican, and that Republican, as a matter of course, would be’ Warren G. Harding. The House of Representatives has not chosen a president since 1825, when it preferred John Quincy Adams over Henry Clay.
