If it were possible to look at a recent entry in the “book of fate’\one would probably find, along- side of a notice of divorce granted Mrs. Daniel F. Sullivan of Chicago, this item: “Reason—Mother Love.” : The mothering instincts of Mrs. Sullivan ‘have broken up her home. She had no children of her own—only plenty of money. So she went into the slum nuseries and gath- ered tiny tots into her arms and took them to her beautiful home, At times she was caring for ten or fifteen at once. The more children about her the happier she was. Her husband objected—not to the money spent, but to the noise of the nursery about him. He settled'an amount.of money on his wife— and left. She has just been granted divorce. Mother love! She is only happy when sur- rounded by little ones.

The pressure of the Wilsonian influence is reflected from the text of the speech and easily inferred between the lines. James M. Lox, Demo- cratic candidate for the presidency) brings little that is new to the discussion of the league of nations which he readily accepts as the major issue of the campaign and is willing to stake all upon it. His criticisms of the Republican leaders in the Senate are verbal reiterations of what ema- nated from the White House when the league of. nations was being debated in the Senate. He stands ‘firmly for the Wilsonian foreign policies and prefers the Democratic policy of internation- aligm’ as enunciated by the chief executive of this nation to the traditional foreign policies that have guided’ the United States since independ- ence was won. So much for Cox’s stand on the league of nations, There is.little discussion of domestic issues. | The major portion of the acceptance speech is given over to an elaboration of the party’s stand on the peace treaty. In this connection, he makes the usual stock recommendations in regard to the merchant marine, education, currency and_uni- versal suffrage. He has ‘brought nothing that is’ hew or outstanding to a discussion, of these _ issues. \ : In contrast to Harding’s challenge, the ac- ceptance hardly makes as potent an appeal nor will it, in the opinion of the Tribune, stir as much enthusiasm among the rank and file of the vot- ers who have long since lost their, faith in the Wilsonian idea.

(THE- SAME, OLD:.“CRITTER” Miss Agnes Samo wonders if the men of to- day_are as gallant, as thoughtful of woman’s com- * fort, as courtequs, as were the young men of her mother’s springtime years. Miss Agnes bases her doubt upon a street car incident, which she relates to the editor. (Miss Agnes, it'may be explained, is exceedingly youth- ful in years and is streetcaring during the rush- to-work: hours.) “A woman carrying a baby in her arms en- tered the car,” said Miss Agnes, “and all the seats were occupied.’ The woman stood in front ot a young man, evidently one who works at a desk: all day. He didn’t seem to notice her, nor that she was holding a baby. I got up and gave the woman my seat. The young man continued in his. Another woman, gray-haired, came in. She, too, stood before the young man. He re- mained seated. Another young woman got up ‘and gave the.elderly lady hér seat.” “And what conclusions do you draw?” Miss Agnes was asked. “T,” ‘she said, “have been wondering since whether men nowadays act that way because of equal suffrage and they believe woman has an _ equal right to stand in a crowded ‘street car, or is it because the young men of today aren’t the equals of the young men mother tells about?” lsually this newspaper can answer any ques- tion, and takes delight in doing so, but this is the THE FIRST, “PUSSYROOT”: Benjamin Franklin, whose deferred legacy of $1,000 to Philadelphia has now increased to 66 times the original sum,’ had many and various claims on the attention of ‘his contemporaries. One of them has a decidedly modern air ‘about it; Franklin was the first “Pussyfoot” to, be ex- ported from America to this country. As a young man he lived for some.time in London and worked as a compositor in a printing officé in‘ Little Wild street. There he set himself to prove his fellow- pressmen that an allowance of five pints of strong porter a day was not at all necessary in order to support health and strength. Franklin himself drank water only (the’ other compositors nick- named him “the American Aquatic”), and yet demonstrated that he was.able to carry far heav- ier forms and galleys of type than the beer- drinkers. The philosophy was a strange one for the middle of the 18th century, which went on the assumption that strong ale was an essential preliminary to strong work. Nevertheless, Frank- lin’s own example made some converts. Franklin’s arguments have a curiously mod- ern ring. To the cry that porter was necessary as a foodstuff he replied that “the bodily strength furnished by the beer could only be in a pro- portion to the solid part of the barley dissolved in the water of which the beer was composed; that there was a larger portion of flour in a penny loaf, and! that, consequently, if he ate this loaf and drank a pint of water he would derive more (Continued from Page One) Gov. Cox said he took up the demo- cratic standard “a free man, uhfet- tered by promses.” Looks to Future. | “We want a change,” he said, “from the old world of yesterday where in- ternational intrigue made people mere pawns on the chessboard of war. We want world where the man who toiled was assured of a ‘full dinner pail’ as his only lot and portion. We stand at the forks of the road.

The other leads to reaction, the rule of the few over the many and the restriction of» the average man’s Nchances to grow upward.

They weren’t too lazy to stand that a woman might ride in greater comfort, nor were they suddenly blinded when a woman entered a crowded car. Most young men of today are like that, too.

Fair returns for both captal and la- bor were advocated, the nominee also approving development of both “into large units * * * without injury to the public interest.” Collective bargain-. ing by labor through its own repre- sentatives was approved. by the Gov- ernor, who’ added: “We should not by law abridge a man’s right either to labor or quit his employment. | However, neither labor nor capital should * * * take action that would put in jeopardy the public welfare. “We need a definite and precise statement of: policy as to what .busi- ness men and workingmen may do by way of combination and collective ac- tion.
