Speaking before - a statewide gathering of democrats here tonight, former Gov ernor James M. Cox of Ohio, demo cratic candidate for president in 1920, started a verbal onslaught on the Harding administration with the statement that "it may go down in history as the outstanding failure of the last 50 years." The rseult of the. arms conference at Washington, he said, Is a "region al alliance." This, he continued, "has led to other alliances and grave crises have come in consequence.".- . "Not only have we ceased to be helpful, but in view of recent devel opments, it is apparent that we are a distinctly disturbing factor in in ternational affairs. Our leaders in banking and economic thought are doing the best they can as individ uals. Recognizing the futility of ap pealing to our government, the statesmen of the world are endeavor- ing to arouse the co-operation of in-1 dividual apencies." !

Reports coming down through of ficial sources indicate that the North western railroad is not planning on it Kfettl UCttl Ul lUipi U CUICUl J I . J 1 J-.A..,-- ... iwork this season on its lines west of the river. Reports from Chicago re cently indicated that the Milwaukee road's electrification program has been interrupted for the time being and that the next step along that line will not come until the big power plant at Mobridge, North Da kota, has been completed, and the work on that is Just about the plan ning stage now. Reports from other railroads indicate that the present year is not going to be a big one for improvements and betterments. The Burlington Is about to begin work on a new two million dollar shop plant at Denver, but that plan has been postponed for so long that the need for it now is pressing. Its west of the river shops are overload ed and its auxiliary property, the Colorado & Southern road, is mighty short of shop facilities. Because of that shop facilities must be provided or a great deal of the work must be farmed out. The Burlington has not yet let a contract for .the thirty mile oil branch out of Hardin, Montana, and some are wondering if such a con tract will be let this year. The com pany is doing some improvement and betterment work, much of it of a class that is listed as urgent and not to be postponed. Service must be of fered the public and a certain amount of work must be done on all roads. All of the big systems have in creased their track forces with the coming of warm weather and the usual amount of renewal work is being done. on Saturday, May 6th and Saturday only we will sell Lee Overalls Best heavy weight demin, triple stitched seams, spe cial reinforcements, either high back or suspender back at . $175 A Cash This is the standard best quality Lee Overalls. onus VERY QUIET .

The decisions of the United States railroad labor board are as binding as law and can be enforced in the courts, according to a decision of the supreme court of Missisippi received by the labor board today. The decision is opposed both to the popular conception that' the board's ruling can be enforced only by pub lic opinion, and to a recent decree of Federal Judge Page of Chicago, who ruled that unless all parties to the controversy before the board agreed to submission of the question to the tribunal, the board had no power to rule, except when commercee was likely to be hindered. Judge Page also ruled that the board acted only in a nadvisory capacity in making decisions.

EXPECTS TO SEE FUSION ADOPTED BY PROGRESSIVES Green Believes Logic of Situation Will Win Party Support for Norton s Candidacy. In spite of a referendum vote which showed that many of the sign ers of the progressive party organi- 7ntinn nanora a"nlncfr fusion nn. I ' O j. N. Norton as the party can didate and hope to see Judge A. G. Wray yet a progressive candidate for governor, W. H. Green, secretary of the progressive state committee, said yesterday the logic of the situation would bring the party to fusion and that Norton would be the candidate for governor upon whom the pro gressive party would center. "Four groups are especially inter ested in the governorship fight," de clared Mr. Green, "the Farmers' Union, labor, the farm bureau and the Nonpartisan leaguers. Norton is probably stronger with all save labor than any other candidate in the state. "Many county units of the pro gressive party have already complet ed their fusion on legislative candi dates. I look to see the action in the smaller units finally dictate ac tion on candidates for state offices. "I should not consent to Wray be coming a candidate in the primary and then withdrawing later. A con test for the nomination for senator will do no hurt." Whooping Cough This is a very dangerous disease, particularly to children under five years of age, but when no paregoric, codeine or other opiate is given, is easily cured by giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Most people believe that it should run' its course, not knowing that the time is very much shortened, and that there is little daneer from the disease when this remedy is given. It has been used in many epidemics or wnoopins euugu with pronounced success. It is aafej and pleasant to take.
