WILSON NEED HOT
FEAR COX VIEWS
ON PEACE TREATY
By David Lawrence ; ,
x Coorichted. 1920) cJi ;
Wnahineton. July 30. Several"
daya ago a story wai published that.
President Wilson would wait until
he had read the speech of accept
ance by Governor Cox and then
would write him a letter recognizing
htm aa the leader of the Democratic
party.- , -; "
The White House declined to comment
on the story and similar alienee wu ob--rved
Wednesday at Dayton. But the
Incident ha caused considerable com
ment as the writer learned by mingling
with Ohio folks and not a few Demo
cratic politicians.
'sidelights baked
The truth of the matter reveals a
rather interesting sidelight on the rela
tions between the president and tha jiew
leader of the. Democratic party, and also
txhibits some of the delicacies in their
respective positions. . --
The facts are these: '
When Governor Cox visited President
Wilson in Washington the latter talked
cordially to hlrn about the general po
litical outlook and his own candidacy
and said frankly that he was glad to
surrender the leadership of the parly to
the new nominee. '.
Thla pleased Governor Co very much,
and It was fully expected that the presi
dent would make some such statement In
public so that there would be no doubt
In the minds of the voters as to who
was leading the party In the coming
campaign. But no statement has been
forthcoming and the impression is that
Wilson will wait until he examines the
speech of acceptance and determniea
wether or not the Ohio governor has ex
plained himself from the Wilson 'view
point. ;
HAD CICB .
Out in Ohio, however, tactics like that
are apt to be understood, for It is con
tended that Hiram Johnson had a club
over Senator Harding and withheld com
ment untfl after the speech of acceptance
and the inference promptly was drawn
that Harding wrote his speech merely to
meet the approval of Johnson on the
League of Nations' Issue. .
As a matter of fact. Governor Cox I
n onnauitinir h white House In any
v sense about the speech of acceptance and
I Is writing It from his own point of view,
believing that the country expects him
. ..I....- - nH nn huva
others dictate theni. The presidt need
views upon the League of Nations, for
he has studied the question thoroughly
and knows the difference between res
ervations that nulliry and reservations
that erase the American people abso
lutely on questions of sovereignty, inde
pendence and the making of war.
PUBLICITY IS URGED .
-From the Ohio point of view, as the
writer sees it, it- would be better for
the president to make public at this
time what he told Governor Cox in their
conversation two weeks ago in Wash
ington rather than to wait until after
the speech of acceptance.
Already, friends of the Democratic
nominee are saying privately that the
Cox visit to the White House may have
been a good thing to reassure Wilson
Democrats, put. on the other hand, it
made Democrats and independents won
der how far Cox would be obliged to
swallow the defects of the Wilson ad
ministration. Governor Cox was not ki Washington
in the legislative or in the executive
branch of the government, and so far
as be Is personally concerned he is free
to criticise freely anything the Wilson
administration did. i v
Unless he exhibits such independence
there are many Democrats who think his
chances of getting the independent vote
will be seriously affected, for no matter
how laudatory the . Democratic conven
tion may hav been concerning all the
policies of the Democratic administra
tion of the last seven and half years,.1
there is a resentment to overcome of
more or less the same sort that, faced
the Roosevelt administration and ' the
Taft administration at the close of their
respective terms.
WILSOJT HA8 RIGHT
Fundamentally the president has i the
right to expect agreement on the part of
the Democratic nomineewJth respect to
the Deague of. Nations issue.- That Is
important, not alone because Wilson wills
It, but because plenty of Democratic
voters, especially in the West, feel the
same way. But the Ohio governor need
not insist that it be accepted as written
in Paris. The president may have felt
bound by his signature to the Versailles
treaty to urge its adoption without
chang but the next president of the
United Statf s can advocate change with
out feeling embarrassed. The only dif
ference is that the changes shall really
not destroy the purpose or machinery of
the league itself. i
If will be remembered that President
Wilson's support of any reservations
whether interpretative or constructive,
has been rather luke warm, and his op
ponents succeeded in implanting an .im
pression of obstinacy because Wilson was
unwilling, for ' instance, to say, flatly
that he would accept the Hitchcock res
ervations, j ' 1
f. Moreover, at the j Democratic conven
tion. It- was. 'after considerable debate
and difficulty, that a clause was Inserted
favoring; reservations that would make
America's obligations under the treaty
and league' "clear and more specific'
While he may agree with President
Wilson and the language of the cove
nant is clear enough for statesmen and
others who have analysed legal phrase
ology very closely, 5 nevertheless It Isn't
clear to the people who have been hear
ing opposition speeches. Governor Cox's
views on the league will be found to be
in accord with the Wilson purposes and
ideals and tactics lie will pursue will
leave no doubt that he is willing to
stand for reservations that completely
remove all doubts I and ambiguity on
sovereignity and independence, and that
absolutely erase the impression of Amer
ican obligation that' go against her own
will and against the wish of her con
gress, j -)--; :

Senator1 Warren O. Harding, Re
publican nominee for president, and
hia advisors, were going ahead to
day with their plana for a. continu
ation of his front porch campaign
here Irrespective of any speaking
arrangements elsewhere he may de
cide to fill later oh.
Two more dates on which the senator
will receive delegations at his pictur
esnue Marion home were announced
The first is August 12, when he is to
further explain hia belief In the neces
sity of a protective tariff for American
industry to about 600 pottery workers
of East Liverpool and Columbiana coun
ty, Ohio.
' The second is September 25. when 1090
members of the America a' Defense . so
ciety, a patriotic . preparedness organ
ization with headquarters at New -York
clty.'of which the later Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt was the first honorary presi
dent, are--to Journey here to listen to a
speech on Americanism.
The senator's campaign is, however,
only in the making. Predictions as to
addresses to be delivered by htm in the
East, West or Middle , West are sheer
guesswork. Unforeseen exigencies may
arise to upset the tentative plana he has
made.
At present the senator is waiting to
see what issues Governor Cox. his Demo
cratic opponent, will raise in his speech
of acceptance. August T. -

What is Milk worth? Isn't it a fact
that no price would be toojiigh to
pay 'for Milk if it were a question of
! paying or doing without?
The slow returns on the farmer's
investment would never satisfy the
business man in the city, even tho
he dealt in luxuries that half the
world could do without. Yet the
Milk producer is expected to be sat-
I isf ied with bare, costor less for a
product that is a vital, daily neces
sity to every person. ;
How often has Mrs. City Dweller
! shuddered at the thought of milking
a cowj And declared that no amount of money could induce her to forego
ithe conveniences of town.
One of the greatest of these conveniences is the Milk bottle at your door
every morning, before you arise.
: . Perhaps your daily ration is only
one bottle of Milk. Even so, break
fast would be utterly ruined without
its cream 'top'; the cooking that youv
would later enrich with it would lose
its flavor and a high per cent of its
I real food - value. And how much
more importance does this conven
' ience assume in families where King
Baby is the chief consumer!
Then -there's the question of
QUALITY. You aje perfectly well
aware that milk may vary in quality.
But have you ever taken the trou
ble to become informed on the spe
cial inspection serv
ice and special,
equipment required
to maintain the
quality you demand? These cannot
be taken for granted; they must be
paid for.
What a prodigious amount of ef
fort and expense has been left in the
wake of that cool white bottle you
receive every morning! Could you
follow back, step by step, you would
be convinced that milk is cheap at
ANY price.
Now make this resolve: That you .
will not allow slight fluctuations in
the Milk market' to cause you to cut
xlown on the quantity of ' Milk you
are accustomed to using. Rather,
use more if possible. .This prevents
- losses on the . surplus that 'must be
sold at away below cost if it is re
fused by the consumer.

Drink More Milk
