DAYTON, O., Aug. 7. Peace for
America and the world by this na
tion's entrance into the league of na
tions with "Interpretations" NOT
disturbing Its vital principle was pro
nounced today by Governor James M.
Cox. the democratic presidential
standard bearer, as his paramount
lpol"7.
Ul nis aUUre&B lie, e wvyuut vuv
democratic nomination, Uovernor
Cm niilitantly championed the league
as proposed by president Wilson,
with interpretations Insuring good
lalth and understanding, and de
nounced what he termed the dishon
orable proposal of Senator Harding,
his republican opponent, for "a sep
arate peace with Uermany."
League or no league, the demo
cratic nominee declared. Is the issue
between Ihe two parties the su
preme issue of me century, he said.
Ihe quesliou Is, governor lox
declared, "whether we shall or shall
not Joiu in this practical and humane
movement. President Wilson entered
the league In our name. Senator
Harding, as the republican candidate
lor the presidency, proposed In plain
words that we remain out of it. As
the democratic candidate I favor go
lug In.
"The first duty of the new admin
istration will be ratification of the
treaty," Governor Cox said, predict
ing that friends of the league would
laily to elect a senate with the requi
site majority for ratification.
Governor Cox Baid the "interpre
tations" should state "our interpre
tation of the covenant as a matter of
good faith to our associates and as a
Precaution against any misunder
standings iu the future." Assailing
th Lodge reservations as emasculat
ing, Gov. Cox suggested two specific
"isterpretatlons," as outlined sev
eral months ago In a newspaper ar
ticle. One declared America's con
tinuance In the league should depend
upon the league's use only as an
gency for world peace; the other
stated that this nation could act only
lthin the constitution, declared un
alterable by any treaty.
The door to other interpretations"
as left open by Gov. Cox, but he
"id that the democratic platform
Punk "speaks in a firm resolution
gainst anything that disturbs the
al principle" of the league.
No room for doubt was left as to
'he Governor's position on the league
pre-eminent political back-
iouna. as on other subjects, he
uiea his position sauarelv.
"We are In a time which calls for
"xni thinking, straight talking

to that oath Is more unworthy than

"Morals cannot easily be produced
by statute," Governor Cox continued
In passing to a plea regarding abuse
of the writ of injunction.
Regarding woman suffrage, Gover
nor Cox urged ratification of the pro
posed constitutional amendment, de
claring women "are entitled to the
privilege of voting as a matter of
right, and because they will be help
ful In maintaining wholesome and
patriotic policy."
His opposition candidate, plat
form, leaders and congressional
record were flayed by Gov. Cox in
scathing terms throughout his long
address. A "senatorial oligarchy"
led by Senators Lodge, Penrose and
Smoot. Gov. Cox charged, selected
Senator Harding to lead the repub
licans and fastened "Into the party
platform the creed of bitterness and
hate and the vacillating policy that
possesses It." The republican stand,
generally, was scored by the gover
nor as reactionary and, on the league
question, he said the party's candi
date was bent to the irreconclliable
hostility of Senator Johnson of Cali
fornia. The republican congress, the
-overnor asserted, failed to pass a
constructive law or to reduce war
taxes.
Millions In campaign funds have
been gathered for "the reactionary
cause, the governor charged, deplor
ing election of a new administration
"under corrupt auspices' and de
manding publicity for "the plain
truth" regarding all contributions
and disbursements. The democrats,
be added, would not attempt "to
compete by dollars." He warned the
country against "cunning devices
backed by unlimited prodigal expen
ditures to confuse and lure."
Gov. Cox said he took up the demo
cratic standard "a free man, unfet
tered by promises."
'The leaders opposed to democ
racy promise to put the country "back
to normal.' This can only mean the
so-called normal of former reaction
ary administrations.
'Our view Is toward the sunrise of
tomorrow. The opposition stands in
the skyline of the setting sun, look
ing backward, at the old days of re
action." The republican proposal for a sep
arate peace, Gov. Cox declared,
would be "Ihe most disheartening
event In civilisation since the Rus
sians made their separate peace with
Germany." Citing difficulties in tho
plan, Gov. Cox said that If accom
plished "no nation In good standing
would have anything to do with
either of us.
'This plan would not only be a
piece of bungling diplomacy, but
plain, unadulterated dishonesty, as
well," he Bald, Inveighing against any
schism with our associated powers.
'This act would either be regard
ed as arrant madness or attempted
International bossism," he added.
Discussing domestic questions.
Gov. Cox denounced profiteering at
length and promised that profiteers
should "suffer the penalty of the
criminal law."
Fair returns for both capital and
labor were advocated, the nominee
also approving development of both
into large units without Injury to
the public Interest." Collective bar
gaining by labor through its own
representatives was approved by the
governor, who added:
"We should not Dy law aDriage a
man's light either to labor or quit
his employment. However, neither
labor nor capital should take action
that would put in Jeopardy the pub
lic welfare.
'We need a definite and precise
statement of policy as to what busi
ness men and worklngmen may do
by way of combination and collec
tive action. The law is now so nebu
lous that It almost turns upon the
predilections of the Judge or Jury.
The rules of business should be made
more certain so that on a stable
basis men may move In confidence."
Disputes between capital and la
bor are Inevitable, Gov. Cox said,
and pubile opinion settles prolonged
Btrikes. Declaring that "public opin
ion should determine In America,"
he said the government should oc
cupy an Impartial position, protect
lives and property and, possibly at
times, inquire Into facts of a tie-un
"But facts and not conclusions,"
he said, "should be submitted "
Agricultural subjects formed an
other extensive feature of the can
didate's speech, many expedients for
agricultural development being advo
cated. Including reduction of tenant
ry, increased production, co-opera
tive selling as well as purchasing by
farmers, establishment or municipal
markets and "modern state rural
school codes," and Increased acreage
by Irrigation development. He also
declared for government regulation
of cold storage and a time limit on
storage products,
Advocating more homeowners.
Gov. Cox said that under democratic
rule "the prosperity of the country
had been widely diffused.
Praising American youth for its
war service. Gov. Cox declared that
the nation owes a debt to those who
died and their dependents and to the
wounded, who shout' be trained and
rehabilitated. Al he said, we
must reallie that considerable com
pensation is due those who lose
much by the break of their material
hopes and aspirations."
"I accept the nomination of our
nartr." be said In conclusion, "obe-
Itot.l to the Divine Sovereign of all
seonles. and hooefol that by trust In
Him the way will be shown for help

TO FIRE MARSHALL
Deputy Stokes Inspected The
Water Supply and the Fire
Equipment of the City.
CHANGES ADVOCATED
Fire Hydrants Need Firln " Suys
Deputy Fire Losse Are to be
Avoided if a City Intends
to Prosper.
Deputy State Fire Maishal O. W.
Stokes, who was recently in Rose
burg conferring with the fire depart
ment and city officials concerning
conditions here and relating to the
water Bupply and equipment for fire
protection, has made a written Btato
nient to Slate Fire Marshal Barber
In Salem as to actual conditions here.
Tho report as made by the deputy
whs received here today. The water
system and source of supply Is ex
plained fully and all of tho hydrants
lu tho city are listed.
"This inspoctiun shows conclusive
ly the necessity of more (Ire hydrants
In every part of the town, backed up
by a triple combination pumper In
order to give propor Are protection
to all parts of the city," says Mr.
Stokes In his report.
The public service commission in
order No. 616, dated July 13, 1920,
appreciating the scarcity of hydrants
and low water pressure for fire pro
tection, stated:
"It should be well known and un
derstood that the loss In pressure,
and consequently the Iosb In quan
tity and effectiveness of the water
delivered, In fire hose is very high,
and If a block length of hose can bo
substituted by the installation of ad
ditional hydrant such substitution
will undoubtedly be found to huva
been economlcnl In case of fire."
And again:
"Smith Plant A test of the water
pump at the south plant by our engi
neer Indicated that only in rnse of
coinnlelo breakdown of all ot.ier fa
cllltlos for tho furnishing of water,
would such plunl bo useful, and then
for fire protection only and Iu it
minor degree."
The report further Btates that on
North Pine, between Cass and Oak
streets, a badly deteriorated frain
building which constitutes a serious
fire menace be condemned. ami
razed.
Recommendat Ions.
That the authorities take immedi
ate steps to provide adequate and
efficient fire fighting equipment. '
That a triple combination pumper
be Installed without delay. That nt
ltVist 25 hydrants be installed ill the
unprotected portions of the city and
a plan adopted whereby a reasonable
number of hydrants be installed
each year.
That the fire department be
equipped with tho following neces
sary tools:
One Eastman deluge Bet complete;
one Browder life saving net, folding
In quarters; one hydrant gate tee
handle. 2V4-lnch; one Hart or Baker
cellar pipe; one Blanchard adjustlble
nozzle; one Detroit door opener; one
Steck wire cutter; one Cooper hose
Jacket.
Two combination piaster noon nnn
mctnl celling remover with eight foot
pole.
As ladders of different length are
nt all times necessary, provision
should be made to properly equip the
fire department with a trussed ex
tension ladder of not less than t"
fee, as well as straight ond roof
ladders.
400 feet of 1 Inch hos.
There Is not one article rained
above that Is not urgently needed by
the fire department for the proper
protection of Ihe community.
Vic Itiillnir Statement.
The question of fire protection Is
of Interest to all thinking people
from the hamlet settlements to the
ercat metropolitan renters. Every
community should look the awful
possibilities square In the face and
try to realize what It would mean to
lose Its chief wage producing Indus
tries. The loss of a large factory or
mill In tho small village or town Is
as d'adly a blow. In proportion to
the number of Inhabitants, as Is the
blr conflngratlon In populous cities
Tho wiping out of a single mnnu-
fncturlng Industry In a small town
often means a complete paralyzatfnn
of the ware earning capacity of the
people and msy mean tho removal of
prosperous establishments to mor
favored locations, crippling permn
nently tho thriving little place where
fire has done Its worst. The energy
of the public mind should be directed
toward tho prevention of fire. The.
authorities upon whoso shoulders
rest the responsibility of provld'nii
the community with proper Are pro
'ectlon must not be content to sit
down nnd say that these disasters
I have always pome, and therefore
I must alftaya come, leavlnp no alter
native but meek submission to Im
mense property losses. The people
I will sooner or later learn that an
. ounce of prevention Is worth more
than great fire losses, which In the
main can be averted. It should be
the duty of those in authority to as
certain the advantage and improve
ments that have been made In pro
ducing fire apparatus and fire tools.
Like the primitive man wh.)
learned to save his life by the Invon
tlon of weapons, so the modern fire
man has learned to protect property
and llfn through scientific study of
flie righting and Invention of Instru
moots which decrease the chances f f
fire loss and do their work in places
where no human being could survive.
The first duty of government Is to
conserve the lives and property of
the governed.
Respectfully submitted,
G. W. STOKES.
Deputy State Fire Marshal.

LEGION CHIEF
National Commander D'Olier
Enroute North on Train
No. 14 This Afternoon.
GIVES INTERVIEW HERE
Is Well Known lu Military Circles'
Served Without Salary and Mow
Acts lu a Like Capacity for
tho American Legion.
Franklin D'OUor, national com
mander of the American Legion.
passed through Koseburg on train
No. 14 this afternoon enroute from
San Francisco to Portland, where the
legion chief will deliver an address
to the organisation members In that
city. During the train's stop of 20
minutes in Koseburg this afternoon.
Commander D'Olier was Interviewed
by a representative of the News
He view.
Commander D'Olier Is knowu
throughout the United States lu mili
tary circles through his efficient ser
vice achievements aa director of the
A, E. t . salvuge offices while a lieutenant-colonel
in the service. He la
of a well established Philadelphia
lamity and nas large cotton inanu
iuuturlng interests. During the war
ne refused to accept pay for his ser
vices. As first national commander
of the American Legion, the service
men's organization, he returns his
(6000 salary check to the Legion
and insists upon paying all his own
expenses Incurred while doing Le
gion work-
lie Is ono of the 20 men who met
In Paris soon after the armistice and
launched the Legion movement. Ha
Is not u natural politician, nor a -public
speaker, and his duties have
been real hard work. Also he doesn't
like the personalities that are occa
sionally burled at a man In such a
prominent position as he occupies.
Even the people who don't like the
way the Legion has been run, admit
that D'Olier has tried hard at a Job
for which they say he was never
temperamentally fitted.
Ono of the leader's problems on
his present tour Is to line up Nation
al Guard sentiment In support nf
untvorMil training. Tho Legion en
dorsed this doctrine last year, but a
part of the rank and file Is hostile to
it. Universal training Is not very
popular In the farming regions,
slates D'Olier, but he hopes to make
certain that Legion delegates from
those sections to the national con
vention will not defeat tho plan to
agulu IndorBO universal training.
Commander D'Olier Is being cn
ter'alned by Legion posts wherever
lis goes, and Is personally getting the
II n ' St sort of reception, and having
every opportunity to meet and talk
vlth the men who' will represent the
organization at the Clevelund con
vention. He will conclude his Legion
work with this convention. Already
lie natlonul commander has his
ipKcrvulions made for a trip to the
Orient, beginning in October. All he
wants nt Cleveland is an Indorsement
I his administration as commander.
