fHE BEE: OMAHA MONRAY. SSPJEiiBSR 27,' 1020. v Seattle 'aper Scores Actions of . Governor Cox Editorial Says Governor Un fair to Coast People for Definite Statement on Big Questions. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Seattle. Scot. 26. Answering th S attacks of Governor Tarries M. Cox that Pacific coast newsoaDcrsa were unfair to him during his recent trip ' to this coast, the rost Intelligencer, in an editorial in its Sunday issue says: Gov. James M. Cox is now mov' ilia eastward and awav from the Po citic coast, bearing with him, by all accounts, a ponderous grudge against a lot of good people whose ...''only offense has been that they . wanted him to tell them something. The democratic candidate, for the presidency has wrongly construed the few questions put to him as a manifestation of undue and impolite inquisitivencss; he did not deign to ,; answer them, and up to the timei of turning his face toward the rising :. sun he was getting more and more peevish. "At the closei of his tour of these Vi states, in the city of Los Angeles, ,: Governor. Cox gave way to utter ' ances unworthy of a candidate and . , qujte out of keeping with his more private character of journalist. He . - asserted that he had been unfairly . treated t by the newspapers of the coast states, in that tpey had failed to give their readers the full text of his speeches. He attributed the com plete breakdown of his coastwise efforts to this failure of unanimous newspaper' co-operation. He, was sore, and he made no secret o-the I iact. - Charge Cox Unfair. v I , "The unfairness is all on the side :of Governor Cx. New to national politics, and newer still to the temper J of the people on this sid.e of the tontinent, he had somehow hooed : for an indulgenfTif not an enthusias-1 i ' i f - - .

He wanted ' t to do all the talking, was hungry for - - applause, and by inference, demand ; ed respectful silence on the part of all who might not agrce with him. j Ihe people of the Pacific coast , .love the "straight shooter," the man ; w ho has principles, who shows them and sticks up for them; the man 4 who 'has an honest answer for every honest question. ' Theodore Roosevelt typified the -jit coast's ideal of the sincere and trust' worthy statesman. And even a hard boiled Ohio politician ought to sense something of this taste in the long continued popularity of such men as Hiram Johnson, George Chamber lain and Wesley Jones. Shiftiness, evasiveness, unwillingness to meet '",, our people on their own ground and - on their own terms these are the attributes of the small politician who the Pacific coast holds in detesta- . tion. , x GoOff Wrong. "And so it was that .Governor CoxJ - got off wrong from the moment he ""came among us. Spokane met him with a request for details of his silly slusji fund exposj;, and the only re spokc he made wa3 in fancies and , ' figures that every person in. Spokane , knew to be false. '"In Seattle the Post Intelligencer asked for a specific declaration on the wet and dry .issue, presenting the strong endorsement given' by the liquor interests to the democratic candidate as 'A pronounce wet.'" Governor CoxUnet this with words worthy of remembrance: 'As a pro gressive in government, I know when a 7 event has been passed by 'J and become a part of yesterday. The reactionary, rarely docs. The friends oL world peace and the friends, of progress will n this election, and any attempt to. divide them on any question wiill be unavailing.' "In Portland the democratic can didate was gently advised that his j Seattle response on the prohibition issue was not si.tficient for the pco 'pie of this dry nor'VVest. He an swered never a word. Governor At Fault. "The California newspapers put a few questions, al. on problems of in- tense interest to that state and the coast as a whoc. ' Governor Cox ' pave them nothing in return up to " the time of his parting wail about N tly unfairness of the coast press. "It was all very unsatisfactory, - Governor Cox says, to him. But the fault lies entirely with" the governor; he came anong us prepared with a set tirade to be delivered in the one form to all classes, ready only for such slight interpolations as might be hastily provided by local, parti sans and as to these he regularly betrayed his own woeful ignorance. He didn't want to answer questions; he didn't want to play square.? tate Eurchases Are v Made at Lower Prices - T ') Lincoln, Sept. 26.

Such discrimination by the United States,, however, in the firm convic tion of high officials, would inevi tably be followed by a war of retal iation, and they added that no coun--rj-in the world under its constitu tion is-more illy fitted for a war of reprisal and discrimination than is the United States. 1 , Believe Bandhs Robbed . ictim in Automobile Will Brenton cf North PlatVe, :f-b., was found by Council Bluffs police in an intoxicated condition at Twenty-first street and-'Broadway Friday night.

Big Reduction Is Announced in Lumber Prices Cut Averaging 28 Per Cent, Covering ' Entire Country, - Effective Immediately - Big Drop in Hardwood. By O. A. MATHER.

Tfie new schedule of prices shows all average reduction of 28 per cent tor the whole country. Furthermore, the reductions will apply to the re tail lumber trade, as the new sched ules have, the approval ' of all the principal retailers. The largest re duction is invjhe hardwoods, which are cut 3o per cent. - ; All hardwood Uooring was re cently 'reduced more than 35.. per cent, but those. reductionsdid not beivefit the consumer," Mr. Putman said.' "Now, with these reductions in the retail prices, other hardwoods wwLhavc to. follow 'suit. Lumber is the mo.it commonly used building material and-other materials, such' as ccYnent, brick and 'steel also will have to come down. "Contractors have complained that concrete work is so expensive-be cause of the high price of lumber for. building, forms. We have reduced such -lumber about, 30' per cent, so concrete work , must necessarily . bs cheaper., j "It is now up ,to manufacturers' of other .building materials , and the banks "to do their stiares. - it they do, it will stimulate building again and relieve the present housing shortages. With the prices down, the banks ought to be able to loan money so that the man in "modest circumstances can build hiinsplf a home.
