To all appearance the Wilson administration has given up all hope of electing Cox. They have discovered the hopelessness of the task. The con- spiracy of silence on the part of Mr. Wilson, him- self, his cabinet and the principal offi€e-holders, as to Mr. Cox and his candidacy, is now having full force and effect. x Another thing is very apparent on the part of the Wilson machine since Cox was dumped over- board, and that is the general activity of the horde of office-holders in matters senatorial in states where there is even slight hopé of Democratic suc- cess. Friend Wilson has seen both Cox and the league | gliding merrily on the toboggan, which is correct- ly, viewed by him as. ‘the wrecking of all of his hopes and a disctediting of his most cherished poli- cles. He knows in his: innermost consciousness’ that Harding will be the ypresident, and in that event, unless he can secure a majority in the senate to hamper the executive m the settlement of foreign relations and more especially official peace, he will go down jn history as about the biggest frost that ever occurred in American public life. That explains to you why Mr. Albert Sidney Burleson has been ordered to get busy and organ- | ize a senatorial fight all along the line. , Republicans will do i landslide for: Harding to” sweep’ ‘inté"” power, a Republican hotise and senate. A Republican president without the support of a Republican con- gress will avail little in accomplishing the Repub- lican program of reconstruction. It would be a situation entirely pleasing to Mr. Wilson and his friends and therein lies‘the only dan- ger, as we View it, to a realization of Republican ambitions, ; It must not occur. A QUESTION OF MAJORITY. 4 So far_as Illinois is concerned, just take your choice. Western headquarters of the Republican national commiltee says, Harding and Coolidge will earry the state by 400,000 majority and Western headquarters of the Demoeratic national committee says Harding and Coolidge will carry Illinois by not to exceed 250,000. : The lirish are for scrapping the league, s0 are the Germans and so. are most of the other natural- ized foreigners. These make up a large percentage of the voting population of Illinois’ chief city, Chicago, and other large cities in the state. The purely Ametican population in Hlinois is Republican in aty event. These are the elements that are about to make it unanimous in Illinois. It is not often.a situation like this arises, but the key to this one is the con- fidence all people have in Harding atid Coolidge, aside from everything else. HERBERT HOOVER’S ESTIMATE. It is pleasing to know that Herbert Hoover has brought his great ability to + for his country’s good and is doing his share to rid the country of the Wilson regime. It is more pleasing to know his opinion of the administratiofi, for having come to its rescue when the country faced the war crisis, and having ren- dered conspicuous service and having came into in- timate knowledge, he speaks with great authority and his opinion is entitled to respect. He says this: “In a supreme national crisis, such as we have just passed through, even patty government ‘should be Jaid aside. The Republican party recognized this promptly and gave its unqualified support to the government from our declaration of war up to its | victorious conclusion. But with victory accom- plished, the leaders of the Democratic party, disre- garding this co-operation, decided to ignore one- | half of the people of the United States and to make peace alone. Here, I believe, lies the beginning of its failure in statesmanshifp. | “By our government alone, of all of the great government engaged upon the allied side, was it in- sisted that a single’ party should dominate the is- sues in making peace. Finally, in the bitterness of | the quatre) which has arisen over the peace, the Democratic administration hae so disintegrated as fiot to rely upon a. War, argue that they are martyrs to adherence to the great principle of the unmodified covenant of the e of Nations, | This is seeking martyrdom on a false premise. There is but’ one principle in: volved, ‘and that is the preservation “of peace by organized international action.”” CORRUPTION CHICKENS RETURNING. If there had been previous doubt of dy rap a ability to carry Qhio, it has been removed by di closures before the Kenyon investigating committee that place Gov, Cox in the role of accepting illegal contributions in ptevious campaigns. 4 Ny t Ohio has had her share’ of disgrace from this cause in past years and her people have no pa- tienice with those guilty of corrupt practices. It has been but a few years that half the voting popu- lation of Adams County was disfranchised for cor- rupt primary and election practices and the people of Southern Ohio are particularly touchy upon the subject even to this day. They will slaughter any public man suspected, let’ alotie a man proven ‘| guilty by corporation and bank records and sworn testimony. i Following her previous experience, Ohio framed and adopted stringent corrupt. practices and. elec- tion laws, and notified‘all comers that she proposed to have done with questionable eleétion practices involying monetary considerations. The Cox case is the first to-break sifce and prosecution is being seriously consideréd. EMBALMED GALL, In the congressional elections of 1918, Mr..Wil- son, in demanding the return of a Democratic con- gress, declared: se “The return of a Republican’ majority to either house of congress would be interpretative on the other side of the water as a repudiation of my leadership.” F This was followed by the return of a Repub- lican majority in both houses, the» iirst instance in American histoty in which a president of the United States had been repudiated while the country was at war: To that repudiation Mr. Wilson paid not the slizhtest attention, but proceeded to Europe ‘and “acting in his own name and by his own proper authority,” attempted to bartef Ametican inde- pendence for a supergovernment of which he hoped to be the feigning ead. t KINDNESS PAYS. Kindness to dumb animals ‘is-a paying itv’ ment on the farm, actording to the bureau’ 6f ani- ,al industry, Pennsylvania department’of- agrictil- fare. \ Particularly inthe 'treatment of dairy cows is kindness éssential, A contented: cow at milking a usually chews her cud afd let her’ milk down freely. ‘ Be i : No one ever saw a profitable dairy farm where the attendant repeatedly lost his temper and was otherwise unkind. The cows avoid such a cave- taker. The attendant must not only be a first-class feedet, but he must know*the value of action and words invorder that the dairy cow may make a record in the herd. Kindness, quiet handling and gentle disposition in the care of i ve animals make for a more prohtable milk production. THE HIGH COST OF WILSON. * The Democratic party has committed the. na- tion to.an annua! expenditure of $4,000,000,000 for some years to come. Muchi of this sum is to meet interest on indebtedness incurred during a sat- urnalia of wanton waste, which has horrified the old world and stunned the American people into something of a mental:incapacity to sense the mean- ing of a billion of dollars: On the honor of the gov- ernment and to the dishonor of the Detnocratic patty, those commitments must be met. The prom- ises of the United States may not be impaired by any party. DUTIES OF THE FUTURE, When our. own house is ig order there will be opportunity to discuss and to provide, if possible, what co-operation we can give to other nations in minimizing the chances of wat, fixing our minds always on the fact that we must never imperil American’ independence.’ That is the sine qua non. We will not be out of ‘the wildémeéss on March 4! next, but Wilsonism will be dead and the clearing ahead will be beckoning us to the accomplishment of ‘sané and better things for the land we love and which Wilsonian autocracy has so nearly destroyed.
