Without discrediting' any one of the
men who have given time, : prestige.
. money and labor to this undertaking of
. eight years' duration, it Is to Simon Ben

especially to pay tribute.
Since Benson contributed $10,000 to the
' work of cut tin around Shell rock at a
lime when funds were not available from
public sources and temporary abandon

If the majesty of the law had been up

INDUSTRIAL ISSUES FIB8T V
Vor they have the!, fill of Industrial
troubles In the West Virginia coalfield
and even the Democratic governor of
the state Is not any too popular with
labor. The audience was far more in
terested in the governor's discussion of
Industrial unrest than anything: else,
and It Is a safe prediction that he will
win more votes in the big cities by
Talking about that than the league of
Nations with all its complexities.
The i writer would, hot say that Gov
ernor Cox took his audience by storm
and won a 100 per cent or even 75 per
cent Bhtv of converts to his cause. But
he did Introduce enough plausibility in
his argument and talked just enough
about' things the average crowd under
stands to send the thousands home think-lag-
more concretely about campaign
Issues.
SEES VT HILL' FIQHT
That is progress, at least with an
audience that came with so many well
set prejudices, for the governor seems
to admit he Is fighting uphill when he
tackles the notion that this is a - Re
publican jrear,': contending that, -while
that view might have prevailed some
months ago, the nomination at Chicago
changed things considerably.
It was; interesting to listen ' to the
comment of some of the opinion In the
crowd, after the speech was ended, like
thds "Good talker, anyway." "Yea, hut
he's a Democrat." "Smart man and he
wm unvo naming on me front porch,
too." "Harding-; don't need to get' off
the porch, everybody knows what' he
stands for." - -It' looks to me sus if Jimmy
Cox would give us a glass of beer if
ho ls elected." I never thought he had
a ehance, but he might have, at ghat:
he's a clear talker."
'Of course, it is too early to analyse
effects. Governor Cox sprinkled some
interesting thoughts on the political soil
that Is none too fertile. ,
TEBEITOBT BEFtrBLtCA2r ;
: This is 1 a Republican territory, nor
mally, i Rumors of Cox's prowess in
Ohio have overflowed the state boundary
and there was and is a natural curiosity
to ee and hear : the man who hag three
tiroes won the governorship of a neigh
boring state. Also, have come rumors
of Cox's friendliness to the "wets.9
Rut against all this must be set the
rather extensive criticism of the Wilson
administration, which has been deeply
imbedded in West Virginia. The people
do (not appear to be in a Judicious mood,
receptive to defenses however logical or
Justified. To some extent this is the
result of skillful Republican props
ganda. To some extent it is the com
mon sense observation of the people who
do not have to be told that the presi
dent held some members of his cabinet
In office too long and didn't hold ethers
long enough,, and to some extent it is
the natural impatience for a change.
Thus far Governor Cox has not dem
onstrated that in electing him. Instead
of Harding, the American people will
get: a decided change of administration.
One suspects that aside from the League
of Nations, which is more of a controll
ing issue in the West than the East, the
whole campaign will be decided on
whether James H. Cox Is a sufficient
dlfflerentiation from -Wilson In the man
agement of the business of government
to warrant giving him charge of the 10
t ecu live departments. ' 1 Otherwise, the
Republican contention that Harding wilt
be surrounded by a group of ; cabinet
geniuses is all that may guide a resent

Warsaw's fate was being decided today
in a fierce battle on a front of. nearly
200 miles. A strong Polish counter at

cording to unofficial advices received
here today from points in Poland within
sound of the cannonading.)
Trie last direct word from Warsaw was
the official communique issued; late yes
terday.: This said the Poles had driven
the Russians back across the River Bug,
between Vlodawa and Hrabieszew, and
that a successful Polish thrust had been
carried out in the direction of iMlawa.
The Polish communique also 'said that
on the southern ; front the Poles had
evacuated Brody. falling back to the

through the enemy line and I occupied

and Eastern Oregon's 184.94s will no
doubt be accepted for one district, as
it was 10 years ago, when that part of
the state had only 146,000 people and
the federal .unit was 207,000. j ,
MULTNOMAH IS CBUX '
The .crux of the question Is Multno
mah county, which novr forms a i single
district, but has a population of 275,
898, which Is 65,000 In excess of the
proposed federal unit and 80,000 : above
what may be called the state - unit of
195.000, which is the approximate- sum
ber a. - district should have in a nu
merical division. i
Figuring still another way, it will be
round that if the Eastern Oregon popula
tion Is subtracted, there will be 618.000
left for the other three districts, or 20,-
000 to the district, and Multnomah will
have 69,000 more than one third of the
population west of the Cascades.
An eaultable division, therefore., will
call for the detachment of 70,000 to 80,
000 from Multnomah in forming; a new
district. One way to do this would be
to add the Multnomah segment to form
a lower Columbia or northwest corner
district, including Columbia. . Clatsop.

Another way would be' to add part of
Multnomah to Clackamas. Columbia,

assumed that In creating the new dis
trict the legislature would not be likely
to include Marlon, because Marion: would
desire to maintain her; affiliation with

New Tork, Aug. 17. Whether by
design or not, the homecoming of
Ambassador John W. Davis. Amer
ica's spokesman at the court of. St.
James, will probably materially en
liven the political situation in this
country. - " " '
Davis, sailing Tuesday from' London,
brings with him a close-up picture of
Europe's struggles, gained from actual
participation in the serious councils
over many, of these and from confi
dences entrusted to him by the premier
of England and the diplomats of many
European powera : .. ; . -
He returns at a time when the Lague
of Nations, sponsored by Governor Cox,
as opposed to a separate peace with
Germany and no entanglements In Eu
ropean ; affairs, sponsored by Senator
Harding, appear' more likely each day
to constitute the leading Issues of the
campaign. -
COX CHARGES HARDCfO
Cox haa charged Harding with adopt
ing a separate peace policy which, he
declares, would be both disgraceful and
dishonest. And there , has been some
surprise in political quarters that Hard
ing has not yet replied to the Cox ac
ceptance Speech In which this charge
was made. . , --.?-'--.
Other Republican leaders.1 including
Congressman Foss of Ohio, who made
bis utterances at Marlon, Ohio, have ac
cepted the Cox challenge and declared
there must be a separate peace if there
Is to be any peace at alL
Until Harding takes up tills phase of
the issue Cox can do no more than con- i
tinue the reiteration of . disposition on
the league, and Interest will not be keen
until a real right starts.
CLIMAX IS SEEN
'- Davis homecoming should hasten
climax. He comes back saturated with
experiences In Europe's woes. He brings
back with him a conviction that Amer
ica must share equally with Burope in
the problems of peace. He recently de
clared In London that "the entire world
is calling for assistance from the Amer
ica of Abraham Lincoln." And he has
assured audiences in England that he
would se report to the American people.
It would seem unlikely that an Amer
ican ambassador would take the stump
during a political campaign, i For that
reason, Davis' expected aid of the Cox
position, is likely to be of a non-political
atmosphere insofar as he is able to make
it so. He .will, of course, be Invited to
make speeches at . dinners and other
gatherings where he will be entertained
