TALKS LIKE POKER PLAYER. What does this Franklin Roosevelt ‘rson mean by drawing his chair up, bout the eircular table, among the reg- Zzular fellows and speaking knowingly = about ying the cards on the table. He need not get so suddenly reckless a document af a na-} overstrain| simply beeause he is about to eseapejand talked. the jurisdiction of Josephus Daniels. Besides, talk like that, from a sissi- fied sport like Franklin Roosevelt makes you wonder what the country’s coming to. That's man’s language and the Democratic candidate has no busi- ness using it. Not even as @ figure of. Speech. It sounds, altogether too much like the Christian Endeavor leader try- ing to get away with a graceful job of Profanity. If Mr. Franklin Roosevelt mnsists on sitting im the game, and as we under- stand the rules, no one is barred, and there is bust the jackpot, we will all sce that he lays his cards on the table, before he draws the coin in his direction, BS Be IN PERFECT ACCORD. Since public interest insists upon it, party -platforms have featured it and party candidates have accepted it as the leading topic of campaign discus- ston and have expressed opinions for or against, the League of Nations is the paramount issue, and upon it the parties will or have already divided and the war will be waged. Mr. Cox, the Democratic candidate for ‘president, previous to his party’s having no particular or alignment upon the important question, has been struggling, ever since the nomination houer came to him, to discover his own position, not from any conviction of w! was right and to his country’s interest, but what was expedient to his personal and his party’s welfare. Mr. Cox has finally discovered where he stands. It required a session with Mr. ‘Wilson to fix Mr. Cox's fugitive views and to establish the fact that he is one of those complaisant person- ages, quite numerous in the Demo- cratic party, accommodating mind “runs along” with that of Mr. Wilson's. The process by which Mr. Cox and Mr. Wilson arrived at such sweet con- cord upon treaty as now ap- pears, Was more or less of a “ground- hog” case. Mr. Wilson’s view has been from the beginning, and al- ways shall be world-without-end, just as originally submitted without even so much as the change of a punctua- tion mark. Mr, Cox's position mu&t he the Democratic plat- form's position, which admits of reser- vations “which do not impair essential integrity.” “Essential integrity,” In Democratic language, meaning that convention, fixed whose views, is now, necessarily j}al the words and punctuation marks remain imtact. Mr. Wilson and Mr. Cox, after conference, both have an- nounced accord upon the treaty, so it must be so. _ It’ must be so, for another reason. Mr. Cox. went straightt'way from. the conference with Mr. Wilson and Americanizing known as mild reservationists, name of Americ: eranee demonstrates that not alone do the minds of Mr. Cox and Mr. Wilson. glide along the same groove, but the Cox footsteps track with the Wilson footsteps. For, look you, did not Mr. Wilson say things in his famous Oregon Tet- ter with reference to “wilfulness” and enumerate other characterizations re- specting some twenty-six senators who voted with the Repub- licans to retain the powers of the American government on this side of the Atlantic rather than farm them out to Great Britain and other friends Democratic on the other side? Yes, Mr. Wilson said those things, 1 Mr. Cox is attempting to show mplete uceord” by repeating seme- thing of the same import. The position the Demoeratic presidential candidate campaigning for an unaltered League of Nations and of twenty-six Democratic senators de- of fending their position for an Ameri- canized league, may not make for party‘ harmo but it will make for public entertainment. SE . FRONT PORCH IN POLITICS. this tere front tha to much discussion, not to mention expression of opinion, pro and con. Let us consult political history jand see by actual results whether it is jbest to loiter on the front porch or swing around the cirele. Going back to 1852, which was about as early as the speaking tour was in- {auiged in, Gen. Winfleld Scott, as the j Whig candidate stepping about the country, had no luck. * Franklin Pieree remained at home and won the presi Just what is to. poreh so the campaign gives rise | tree dency. In 1866 Fremont did most of the movirig around, Buchanan did none. Fremont lost out. In 1860 Lincoln did not veture far | trom home, but Douglass toured the country. ‘Lincoln was elected. | In 1864 civil war was raging and |Eimcoln remained on duty in Washing- ton and there was little thought of) swinging around the circle. He wes re-elected. Grant was the candidate in 1868, His reputation was made ; The people knew. He did not have to go about informing them. Seymour did the trot ting. Grant was elected. The same thing happened in 1872. Grant had a front porch and remained thereon. © Greeley trayeled the coun- try and was defeated. Hayes remained quietly on the ve- randa at Fremont, Ohio.

Is any of it true? with “bad faith to the world in the) No: it is a typical Republican platform; | This bit of exub-| therefore, it is a truly American plat- | tial laws and tribunity.’ Hayes was elected. Neither Gen. Garfield nor Gen. Han- cock made what could be called tours of the country in 1880. Garfield was at Mentor most of the campaign. He won. In 1884 Cleveland went on a fishing trip to the north wood: and Blaine went on the hustings. Blaine lost. A long narrow front porch in In- dianapolis where Benjamin Harrison greeted his countrymen in 1888, was the determining factor. Although both Harrison and Cleveland made a few big speeches away from home, the In- @ianapolis porch fixed it in 1888. _ ‘Then in 1892 Harrison made the first great speaking tour ever staged and delivered a wonderful series of ad- dresses, His opponent, Cleveland, wor. William J. Bryan paraded up and down the country in 1896, with his erown of thorns on his head and wav- ing his cross of gold in his hand. Me- Kinley received the people on his front poreh in Canton and was chosen presi- dent. Nineteen hundred was a repetition of 1896. Parker, the Democratic eandidate in 1904, remained at Esopus. He had no front porch, or if he did, he did not une it. He received the visitors on the front lawn. Besides, Theodore Roose- velt was the opponent. He made pub- lic speeches und broke all- precedents by defeating Parker. Taft in 1908 did not do enough cam- paigning to destroy the influence of the Cincinnati front poreh. Bryan traveled the ranges. Bryan traveled too far and talked too much. He had no luck at all. In 1912 the whole works was shot to pieces. Taft gand did the campaigning and Wilson slid in via a Uttle old New Jersey side porch. You all recall how Hughes visited California in 1916. It was the White House portico in that year that not only kept us out of war, but Hughes out of the presidency. , We now come to 1920. Senator Hard- Ing’s Marion front porch Is already in operation, while Gov. Cox is about to taekle the jinx of a nation-wide campaign. And while we are at it, we might as well complete the history by recording Harding's triumph. The front porch, in American poli- tics, has an almost unbroken record as the determining influence. The can- didates who have had the nerve to pin their faith to the front porch and leave the matter to the have uniformly successful. ea eS THE PLATFORM. “It is charged by Democratic jour- nalists and party leaders,” says the Marion (Ohio) Star, that the Repub- Mean platform, adopted at the national in Chicago is ‘weak and] Roosevelt people been conventoin form. The candidates for president and vice _ president tried-and-true Americans; and they stand with both feet firmly and sturdily planted upon the platform as framed, approved and are lopted. “Let's examine a few declarations and provisions of the Republican pla how ‘equivocal’ they form—and see are. | |“ ‘We recognize the justice of collect- ive bargaining as a means of promot- ing good will, establishing closer and more harmonious relation between em-| ployer and employes, and realizing the | true end of industrial justice.’ | Che Casper Daily Cribune ministration for failure impartially to’ enforce the anti-profiteering laws en-' acted by the Republican congress.’ “Any dodging of the issue there? A Republican legislative body placed anti-profiteering laws upon our na- tional statute books; but a Democratic executive administration failed to en- force these laws. ““There is urgent need of improve- ment im our naturalization law. No alien should become a citizen until he has beeome genuinely American, and tests for determining the alien’s fit- ness for American cftizenship should be provided for by law.’ “Anything evasive about that? ““The equality of all citizens under the law has always been a policy of the Republican party. Without obe- dience to law and maintenance of or- der, our American institutions must perish. Our laws must be impartially enforced and speedy justice should be seoured.’ “Anything uncertain of that? “I might go on—and ‘on—almost in- definietly. “It is an American platform. “American candidates stand upon it. “It speaks for equal rights for all and special privileges for none. “It is frank. “It is firm. “But it doesn’t suit our friends, the Democrats. “Why? “Because it spells defeat for them.'* Western Union Pays Funeral Expenses of Late Messenger Boy in the sound In keeping with a generous policy which has beer vindicated in many mis- fortunes connected with its local em- ployes, the Western Union, it has be- come known, has borne the funeral ex- penses occasioned by the death of George Carter, son of A. H. Carter of his city, who was fatally hurt when run down by an automobile on East Second street. The lad had been jn the employ of the telegraph company as a messenger boy for only 12 days when he met with the accident which resulted in his death.
