COX'S BOMB A "DUD."
The democratic moifntain labored at Pitts
burgh -on Friday evening, and brought forth a
typewritten schedule of what fifty-one' cities
in the United States were to pay into the repub
lican campaign fund. On this list rests the
charge made by Governor Cox that an immense
jackpot was being created to corrupt the elector
ate and encompass his defeat. x
Flimsier support for a serious charge could
scarcely have been, imagined. "For many days
the governor has asseverated onvery occasion
that he was to be buried under millionsof
money; that the presidency wa3 to be pur
chased; that the senate oligarchy is in cahoots
with the profiteers, and the unholy alliance has
but one object in view, that being the defeat
of the democratic ticket, so Mr. Common Peo
ple Vnay once more be dragged in chains at
the tail of the Capitalistic chariot. If these lamen-
tations had come from "Gene" Debs or Parley
Christensen, to surprise would have followed,'
but when -they are made by a supposedly re
sponsible and experienced statesman, tney de
serve attention. ' , -
This they promptly received. Governor Cox
was last week invited by the senatorial com
mittee charged with the duty of investigating
campaign contributions and expenditures to pre
sent his proofs. He declined the offer, but said
he would make public his evidence at Pittsburgh.
This he did, and it took the form of a weekly
bulletin- from the republican national committee
and a typevifitten .schedule prepared by some
, 'body not &sytt identified. , '
Tha bulletin is admitted, but the schedule is
'phony,' according to Fred W. Upham, treas'
their guns heM muzzle up. It was like address-'
ing a companyof soldiers in battle array. Cus
toms, have changed Since then, and even in the
hillnWest Vtrignians have learned to feel- safe
without being equipped like art arsenal. .
' . Pan of the. Car Confirmed. ,V
'' All reasonable doubts at to the death of
Nicholas Romanoff, late czar of Russia, and alk
his immediate family have finally Deen dispelled,
and the-terrible tragedy at Ekaterinberg, Siberia,
)On the night of July 16, 1918, is substantially con
firmed in all its sordid details. Accounts or
the last two days o the doomed imperial Amily,
recently published in America, are substantiated
bjr, inquiries made by two independent investi
gators. ' ",s
I Two impressions will be gained from reading
these. " One is thevslmplicity of the family life
of the Romanoffs, their tenler attachment.' to
each other, their patience under the exactions
of their captors, and the true devotion of their
religiouTlife. The other is the increasing sever
ity oftreatment accorded them as the tide of
bolshevism rose higher and (higher, until finally
they were brutally butchered by a crew of aliens
especially selected for the purpose.
History- carries few accounts in which the
gray1 tinge of doubt shades more directly or
swiftly tnto the blackness of despair than is
given in the story of how the Romanoffs died.
Whatever may havejeen the political blunders,
crimes orcruelties, committed in the name of
the, czar, his Worst enemy looked on him as an
amiable and not especially brilliant man, a hus
band and father to whom his people might have
turned for example, while the' privacy of his
home was that of any of his subjects in decent
circumstances. He was held personally, respon-.
sible by the bolsheviki, however, and in the
slaughter of him, and his wife and children the
fanatics sought to blot out forever czaristic
rule and all it meant., v
Centuries of wrong and oppression hardened
the hearts of his executioners', but 'sober judg
ment will always question the justice of their ac
tion. Nicholas Romanoff is secured "by death
of a place injjistory he might not have won by
living. " ' r
. . ... . . ' J are paid $7 for an eight-hour day. This craft
urer of the republican committee, who says the4 : ' t ' u- t

crnor Cox's assertion of $8,145,060 for the fifty
one cities he named' in his. schedule of quotas
and $2,000,000 for New York City alone. -n r
v--fxottr?fv this exposure'Sitd dehtai will noijf
check the governor nor hinder his supporters
from reiterating his foolish assertions. Having
set out upon a campaign of deception.he will
not turn back now. The only question is how
manjr American, voters can he befool? j
Since 1892 the democratic fariylfo ap
proached the country on a false issue in every
presidential campaign. Disaster followed, the
election of Grover Cleveland twenty-eight years
igoj even worse has overtaken the country
through the years of v Wilsonism, now coming
to a close.- Can -the desperate cohorts of a dis
credited organization succeed in covering up
its record of miserable failure by raising afog
of malicious mendacity, and under ita enveloping
mists again sneak-into the White House? -
Not if the searchligHt of publicity is kept
playing on the crew that is lurking just behind
the candidate.
One of Our Economic Difficulties'.
"It is pretty hard to persuade a boy to study
scientfic efficiency when he has a chance to
tend a soda fountain,wsententious1y remarks Al
Soreoson in his Examiner, and thcrebTie states
T truth that is disturbing industry today. Why
should a boy trouble to master the intricacies
of a trade or calling that requires, efficiency in
the handling of tool! and material, the product
of which is essential to the,common good, when
he can procure some less worthy vocatioa and
secure a reward equal and sometimes exceeding
that -which goes to the skilled worker? Is train-:
ing of mintfand muscle to have no other re
ward than that which may flow from the knowl
edge of such possession?'

This .glaring disproportion of material re

economic problem of "the hour. How matters
are to 6e joggled down so as to establish some
thing like a just correspondence in reward is
yet to be disclosed. Onething is certain: Re

v Tobacco on Trial in Universities.
An interesting experiment, with tobacco is
going on in six universitiesWisconsin, Johns
Hopkins, Michigan, Leland tStanfomd, Harvard
and Cornell in each of whidh 24 male and 24
female students are using tobacco under orders
and getting 40 cenjs an hour ,lor three and one
half hours a day, the Rhiladclphia Public Ledger
says. The experiments have ben going on for a
year and will continue six month Ionger--quite
a long enough time for 144 girls and an eual
number of boys to acquire a foridness for the
weed. Pipes, cigars, cigarets and eating tobac
to are used, and the results noted and tabulated
on the mental facultes of the users, he tobacco
being; given at various periods of the day. "
The results of these experiments, scientific
ally arrived at, will be published, along with
the' testimony of 1,000 business men who tm
ploy habitual tobacco, users. It is expected, to
settle once for all the question whether tobacco
has harmful effects or not. Every habitual tn
dulger in the delights of My Lady -Nicotine
already knows. No experiment with college
studcaQis necessary for them, nor do they re-,

Physically some men seem to be tobacco
proof. Others weaken physically under it as
tinder any other drug. Mentally its effects vary.
At times and under good conditions it is- a great
stimulant to brilliant intellectual work. At other
tunes it a "deadener" to all careful thinking.
The Kentuckian and His Gun.
: The governor of Kentucky has announced his
inWnVtO enforce the law against carrying cpn.
cealed weapons. We doubt his ability to do so.
The Kentuckian is fond of "jewelry," and on
occasion delights in Its use. If the-.automatic
has displaced the long-barreled Colt he used to
carry in his breast pocket, he will. not give it
up with out astruggle.
And now about the rifles, and the shotguns

fumes. , ' " . ' '. "
, However, there has been a change in West
Virginia, a neighbor state to Kentucky. In 1888
we went to a West Virginia school house a few
miles from the Ohio river to talk for Ben Harri
son. The single-room house was crowded to
the doors, and all around the walls leaned loaded
rifles, while many squatted on the floor with
The Talking F. Roosevelt. .
' "In every state," says the rootin', tootin' F.
Roosevelt, "narrow partisanship is becoming less
and less prevalent." ' ' N
Exactly. Especially in North and South Car
olina, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana and' other
southern states! For broad, high-minded tol
erance oiall potiticalopinion, and entire absence
of hdiebound political prejudice we all seekUhe
solid south. Nothing warped one-sided down
there. Only the free play of. ideal democratic
sufferance of all shades of rblicli5jBiriion', and
a cardial reception and impartian consideration
of republican as well as democratic principles
and activities.
Mr. F. Roosevelt is a most trustworthy exam
ple of undying hatred of partisanship, particur
larly democratic!
The Colored Exodus.
Negroes in great number have been leaving
the south during the past two years and settling
in the north. With increasing intelligence and
means the northward flow was inevitable. Why
should the colored man not come north, when
his political rights have recognition and his op
portunities are broader and better than in the
south? ' ' .
And what an exampfe of retributive justice
it would be if the suppressed -colored vote of the
souh, shifted-to the north, should forever de
stroy the democratic dynasty of the south by its
political expression in the north!

irts less common to hear peple felicitate
with themselves on being good guests. Indeed,

But ate the boiled or scrambled egg;

And did not crave an extra blanket,
-, Nor extra pillows for her head;
She seemed to like the spare-room bed.
" She brought her own self-filling pen,-
and always went to bed at ten.

Dr. W. H. Porter, in his" book,
"Eating t6 Live Long," givos Yis Al
bit's plan for the easy reduction of
ouesity. Albu keeps his patientsv'on
a diet consisting exclusively of
watery vegetables for from-' four to
six weeks. Such substantial vege
tables as potatoes, sweet and white;
peas and beans are not allowed;
The watery vegetables "allowed are
carrots, turnips, parsnips, beets, let
tuce, cabbage, cauliflower, spinach,
radishes, , onions, asparagus, squash,
pumpkin, turnip tops, beet tops,
mustard, and all other forms of ed-
ltlo greens. Corn ana rice Deiong
in the list of grains, and are not al
lowed. A man can eat a lot of this
kind of food and not take in much
nourishment.
Dr. Porter calls our attention. to
the fact that vegetarians and near
vegetarians are lean. After six
weeks of this lbu allows his pa
tients to add five to seven ounces
of boiled meat to the diet on three
days a week. A man can live, be
satisfied and healthy, and lose
weight on this diet forrnonths.
However. Dr. Porter prefers to re
duce his obese patients by giving his
ideal mixed diet, but lessening the
amount allowed.' To begin with, he
advocates no breakfast or a break
fast consisting of the juice of a
lemon squeeed Into a glass of prater,
and a cup of coffee without cream
or sugar, or maybe a "glass of butter
milk and a small piece or tniniy but
tered toast For luncheon he gives
about four ounces of meat, on slice
of wholewheat bread and a table-
spoonful of a watery vegetable. This
menu may be varied, but the amount
taken should not be Increased, and
the foods substituted should be or
the same type as those they replace.
For dinner, four ounces of meat and
a little toasted bread and a small
allowance, of a watery vegetable.
Ho especially warns against eating
food Just before going to sleep, seine
food eaten at that time is very apt to
go to fat

Setting Ireland Free.

extent, power and daring i of Irish
propaganda. In his opinion the

rtimfdated by it and compelled to
acknowledge the independence" of
Ireland and recognize Its govern
ment which is 'now functioning in

position otL the English government.
But suppose his fears were not en
tirely groundless, would it be such
an unheard of, un-American thing
for-congress to do?
-For a powerful nation like the
United States, the land of the free
and the home of the brave, to give
aid and comfort to a friendly people
struggling to be free could not be
the tHiwise, calamitous act he dreads,
even had that, people not been
friendly and had 'not given aid and
comfort vto this nation at a time
when it needed aid and comfort
fully as much as Ireland needs it
now. .
For this purpose Franklin was
sent to Europe by the colonies' just
as De Valera was sent to the United
States. Franklin was successful.
Will Da.Valera be successful?
If Mr. Kinder will look over the
history of this country and absorb
some of the facts connected1 with
Its struggles for liberty, and its sev
eral wars since to preserve that lib
erty, he will find that Ireland is the
creditor, not the debtor, nation.
He seems unduly disturbed lest
the Irish should not vote as Ameri
cans rTaxt November. In this, too, I
think his absurd fears are ground
less, for it is hardly likely they will
vote . as Englishmen, which those
who will vote 'for Mr. Wilson's
league of nations pact will undoubt
edly do. v
Irishmen are not and never have
been traitors to this country.
As to the hyphen we are in agree-
Nrrent; the name "American" is good
enough ana big enough to cover
every one worthy of the name.
But is it not queer that only the
Irish and Germans are forbidden its
use? Why not include the Anglo
Saxon? That word is equivalent to
or synonymous with American, yet
certain of our native sons use It
when they wish to particularly im
press us with their proud descent.
Personally I don't know what they
are proud ,pf, as we all came from
a common father. (If not from
Adam,' then from, some "gibbering
monkey of the forest primeval." In
either, case the honor, if honor it
be, is a common heritage. To "be
descended from a more or less no
torious Dutch tribe, whether Anglo
or Saxon, doesn't make one any bet
ter and let us hope no worse.
can't believe that the United
States wlllwlthhold her sympathy
or aid fronya deserving people strug
gling to be fPee. Ingra'titude was
ever held to be an unworthy attri
bute, so much so that few men are
willing to 'acknowledge Its posses

few?
