EX-GOVERNOR COX
LAUNCHES ATTACK
AT REPUBLICANS ;
Says Administration "May Go Down
in History as Outstanding Fail
ure of Last Fifty Years."
Harrisburg. April 28. 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." !
The republican campaign pledge
of "reorganization, economy and ad
ded efficiency in government," Mr.
Cox declared, "has developed Into the
actuality of spoils' in government."
MONEY HARD TO GET
FOR RAIL EXPANSION

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.

Joffre passed his last full day in New
York quietly, with only one or two
short trips from his rooms. But as
the day closed he Issued a statement
addressed to the people of the United
stales.
"I had indeed retained an inef
faceable remembrance of my stay in
America In 1917, but the indications
of sympathy and friendship which
have again come to me, have proven
that the heart of America, once won,
is never lost.
"I carry away with me the con
clusive proofs of the faithfulness of
the American people and their friend
ships. But I cannot take for my
own all the friendships that have
been mine, for the greater part of
them, I consider,, were meant for my
country. But I like to see in these
the evidence and the promise that
the feeling of afTection of your great
country for mine is not in danger of
extinction."
"Tomorrow noon the marshal sails
for home on the White Star liner
Celtic. He will stop at Liverpool a
few days, spend one day in London,
and then cross the channel to France.

STATE COURT UPHOLDS
LABOR BOARD POWER
Chicago, April 28. 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

ers of the progressive party organi-

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

FINE SHOWING
Secure High Standing at Contest in
Omaha and in Penmanship
Carry Off All Honors.
The contests in the second district
! schools of the state held at the au
ditorium in Omaha yesterday, made
a great showing for the excellent
work of the Plattsmouth schools and
the young people from this city who
were present to represent the local
; schools, scored a great triumph in
; their work in all departments.
I In the line of penmanship the
Plattsmouth delegation carried off
all the places in this class and the
work of Miss Edna Klinger was tak
en by the representative of the In
ternational contest bureau to New
York where it will be reproduced in
the forthcoming Issue of the maga
zine there. In the high school class
Helen Wescott won first place, Min
nie Klinger, second; Rose Donat,
third; Ruth Luschinsky, fourth. In
the grades Edna Klinger was given
first place, Dora Soennichsen, sec-
,1 an9 nnvtha ChiiliAf Vi i T-rl In
; tne SPeiiing contests Elvira Born of
Plattsmouth was given the third
prize for her excellent work in this
very difficult contest. In the advance
typewriting contests the South Side
high school secured the first and
third prizes.
The schools .entered were Central,
South Side and Sacred Heart schools
of Omaha, Plattsmouth, Syracuse
and the Midland college of Fremont.
That Plattsmouth ranked so high
is certainly very pleasing to the
school patrons as indicating the
splendid work that is being turned
out here and speaks well for Miss
Marie Kaufman who has developed
the penmanship courses in - the
schools of the city. , . .
