MONDAY,.:, SEPTEMBER. Zt mo. THE OKEOON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, OREGON Church, Rests Voice in Portland Sunday Speaks at The' Auditorium Cox Attends t-v . .: , SUNDAY IN REST; THROAT IS SORE By Ralph . U'tUon The Sabbath, according to the pre cepts iof the good book, should be a day of rest and devotion. It wa, with ' James M. Cox,' tovemor of Ohio, Democratic nominee and po tential president of the United States. Thera were no receptions, no speech- making, tto trips over the highway or tboit the city. It was the distinguished visitor's desire and the mandate, of his physician, for Uovernor Cox was suf fering with an acute attack of speaker's laryngitis. He was very hoarse and had been ordered not to use his voice. Con sequentiy those close friends and ad mJrers who found their way past the barriers erected by medical mandate did most of the talking while Governor Cox did most of the listening, and he can listen as eloquently and as earnestly as he can speak. DOCTOR TREATS T-HTIOAT - Governor Cox and his party reached Portland from Tacoma at 7 :80 and the special car In which they came was parked In the yards of the Union station The governor, tired from a strenuous Saturday, was; asleep when the train came in, and was not awakened until nearly ft o'clock, when he was met by a delegation of (0 or more of Portland Cltlxensf welcomed and escorted to the Multnomah hotel. I Once there Governor Cox sought the seclusion of his nulls and the comfort of a bath, while Dr. Charles Chamber lain was summoned to treat his throat Shortly before 11 o'clock, accompanied by 8cnator Chamberlain. Dr. Robert Goldsmith, John L. Shuff, a close friend from Cincinnati, and one or two others, Governor Cox came down Into the lobby of the hotel cn route to the Westminster Presbyterian church. tie win Immediately surrounded by those In the lobby who recognized him. He held an impromptu reception while on his way to the automobile waiting for him at the curb. Once in that he was whisked away to church and, after the services there had been completed, was taken back to the hotel, where the ban of silence was put upon him and he was immured In his room until time for his departure for Salem at 4 :40. Governor Cox, "Jimmy" his fellow townsmen call him back In Dayton. Ohio, is a pleasant gentleman to meet. He looks like his pictures, which shows that he can be natural even before the cam era, a feat a great many public men seem unable to accomplish. He is me dium of stature,' has a pleasant eye. an ingratiating smile and a friendly hand clasp. Probably the best evidence of his human ticks is the fact that the corps of newapaper men accompanying film on his present tour, those cynical stars of the Kastern newspaper firmament who nee many public men and go dippy over none, are all his friends and admirers. They say he "shoots square" and they like him for that THREE ADDRESSES TODaT Gveror Caz left tor . Salem at 4 :40 Sunday afternoon and spent the night there. From S to 9 o'clock. Monday morning he held an Informal recep tion att th Hotel Marlon, and at 9 o'clock " delivered an address at the armory, the introductory addresa being by B. K. Irvine. At 10 o'clock the return trip was start ed so that the governor could arrive at The Auditorium in time for his noon ad dress, the principal address to be given by him In Oregon. Dr. C. J. Smith, chair man of the . Democratic state central committee, presided at the noon meeting and United States Senator George K. Chamberlain introduced Governor Cox to the people of' Portland. . t At 1:30 In the afternoon, also at The Auditorium, Uovernor Cox delivered his third address of Uie day, this meet ing having been arranged for the con venience of those who. by reason of their employment, were not able to attend the noon meeting.' . ' . PLATKOfi.M tiFEECHES Dr. Kojtxrt Goldsmith, Internationally known as an authority on the lcague of Nations covenant, and who was the personal adviser of President Wilson at the' Versailles peace conference, also spoke at the 3:30 meeting on the League of Nations. Dr.' eimith' pre sided at this meeting and Governor Cox was Introduced by B. F. Irvine. Governor Cox and his party will leave for Idaho at S o'clock Monday afternoon over the O-W.

' GREAT AUDIENCES ARE . WON BY COX'S TALKS (Cos tin sad rm Pass Oaa.! fighting hard for what he believes would be a . bigger and better America and world. He didn't go out of town to fight op ponents. He fought them on their front porch. Two newspapers challenged him, one in Spokane, one in Seattle. He fought the Spokane fight in Spokane, and his Seattle fight In Seattle. His hearers liked him for fighting them In tbetr own bailiwicks. They Uked him because he is gracious, fair. firm. He doesn't campaign by innuendo. He doesn't campaign by bom bast. He doesn't hold back. He doesn't straddle or detour. He hits sralght at the point, and hits hard. When Governor Gox walked onto the platform, Waahingtonlana admired him. He is a monument of power. He drives bis points home with an irresistible force. His audiences liked his power and his personality. He smiled with them, talked with them, felt with them they were his friends and felt that they were. The trip' was successful, secondly, be-, cause the things for which Cox stands have an appeal In Washington. He has no appeal for the reactionary. It Is the reactionary he is fighting. But it wasn't the reactionary that attended the Cox addresses. It was the progressive, the progressive Democrat and the progres sive Republican. Those familiar with local situations estimated crowds a: Walla Walla and Bellingham as 60 per cent Republican progressives. For the progressive Cox has a tremendous ap- Deal. He is ths only man for whom a progressive can vote and vote for what he believes. PROGRESSIVE RECORD Cox has a record of progressive action in Ohio seldom equalled. And he 1 fighting the same crowd that Theodore Roosevelt fought in 1912 and 1916. Washington progressives realise those things, and they demonstrated their ad hesion to bis principles every time he mentioned progress in Washington. That state went Progressive in 1912 and in 1916, and Governor Lister was twice elected to the governorship largely on bis stand for progress. The people of Washington apparently want a League of Nations. They don't want more war, more taxes and more death. Their Invariable applause left no question as to the crowds' feeling In the league and war. And Cox, in several instances, lifted the tog cast out by the irreconcilables as to the real effect of the league. He showed that America could not be drawn Into any war, re gardless of Artlole X or any other arti cle In the covenant, without the consent of congress. And he showed that Amer ica's power in the council is equal to Great Britain's and all other nations' in that no action car, e taken without unanimous vote. America's vote would veto any measure. Many people in Washington are for Cox because he indorses the federal re serve and farm loan systems. He talks of possible extension of both. On the other hand, they know of Senator Hard ing's opposition In the senate to the farm loan act. And they fear that ths Inter ests that have contributed to- the Hard ing fund may be interests that are pav ing the way for the destruction of the federal reserve act There are many farmers in Washington. They want the fafm loan system intact They showed it at the Cox meetings. Ana the people of Washington don't want the federal reserve bank wrecked and the money power of the country restored to Wall street Cox demanded that we discontinue building battleships and spend the money saved in reclaiming non-productive lands. He wants government money spent for constructive purposes rather than destructive. So do the crowds that attended his meetings His audiences registered their disap proval of the front porch campaign. They acre glad that Cox came to this coast, to study the needs of the territory and feel the heartbeats of its people. They don't approve a mortgaged presidency, and they applauded to the echo when Cox insisted that he is free now and will be free after November 2. His hearers believe the campaign fund charge. Documents proving the charges In their own state were shown them. Circular 101. the original, was shown them, with Joan D. Rockpfrllrr ! and little John heading the list, and William M. Wood, the woolen manufac turer, following. Washingtonians don't think the Rockefellers have any great feeling for the Northwest and the wool growers are certain that William M.

East Seventeenth street north at Schuyler street Strains of the organ in the offertory softly receded and the voices of the singers in the choir loft ceased ; the pastor sat silent within the chancel; there was a hush of expectancy and a discreet half-turning of. the heads of members of the large congregation, and then the ushees marshaled the presiden tial candidate, with the accompanying party. Into a pew well at the rear of the church auditorium. Space had been reserved for the distinguished party at one side of the auditorium, well toward the pulpit, but Cox put a veto on this arrangement when he arrived at the church after services had begun, merely indicating that he wanted no display made of his attendance at diylne wor ship and that an inconspicuous seat was all that he desired. GREETED. BT OHIOA.N8 j . After a period of rest In his rooms at the Multnomah hotel Sunday morn ing. Cox descended to the lobby and after a few brief greetings with friends went directly to the automobile that carried him io the church. With him were Senator' Chamberlain, Dr. Robert Goldsmith. Colonel John H. Sheff and a secret service- attendant. Cox considers this attendance of a secret service man saperfluouH, but it was learned that the Democratic national committee had in sisted upon II In the Cox itinerary. When the party arrived it the church the preliminary services were in prog ress and Cox. and his party awaited in the lobby a proper period at which to enter the auditorium. Several belated members of he congregation straggled !n. They at once recognized the visitor. There were several former residents of Ohio, who quietly took the opportunity to greet Cox and extend to him their best wishes, . ( COX DESIRED QUIET Immediately after taking his seat Cox pave his sericu attention o the service. With one arm thrown over the back of his pew, he relaxed Into a comfortable attitude. andLscarcely changed this posi tion until the sermon closed. Imme diately after the benediction the party arose, but there at once assembled be fore the entrance to the pew a company of people anxious to greet the visitor. Gradually the party worked Its. wav again into the lobby, and there again numerous cardial greetings were ex tended. financial degradation. The applause of Cox addresses on those points was an Index to the feeling of his audiences. And Cox fights unrest with fair deal ing. He maintains that unrest is the product of repression, that it results from unfair 'treatment or a class. It cannot be eradicated by adding to the repression, but by dealing fairly with every class. In effect he says, give the farmers their just dues, and there will be no Non-Partisan League, or unrest in other fornj. Washingtonians believe in that meana They indicated their ap proval. At every Cox" meeting there were hun dreds of women. They liked Cox be cause of his past record. They were told of the mothers' pension in Ohio, of laws helpful to teachers, and the statutes fixing the hours and working conditions for women in industry all passed in Cox's administration. Trie women In dorsed Cox's progressive humanitarian stands and his repeated statements that it will "be toe mother hearts of Amer ica that will keep us out of future wars." It is for these reasons that the trip of Governor' Cox in Washington was highly successful. If AS SLAVERY" (Continmd From Pat One) we had alignments as definite when we fought our fight in Ohio. "The history of your fight and of our fight is particularly interesting now." Governor Cox said, "because the same alignments which existed in the fights for progress In these two states In the past years are the Same alignments which confront the people of the na tion now. "The people of Ohio," the governor continued, "demanded laws that would provide' for progressing conditions. The consUtution of the state stood in the way of their enactment or enforcement and It was hot until 1912 that we were able to win a new constitution WHAT OHIO DID "There was unrest in Ohio in those days," the speaker said. "It was be cause government could not be respons ive to the needs of the day. It was the batUe of reaction then against the spirit and the desire of progress. The pro gressive population knew that govern ment must be made responsive to the demands of an advancing humanity, and that la the reason we have spun some of the gold of the human soul Into the consUtution and the laws of the state of Ohio. "It was before that constitutional con vention that Roosevelt, a great Ameri can" and ere the audience broke In on the speaker with a wave of applause "it was then." the speaker continued, "that he came to give his first address in favor of the judicial recall because he knew the political soil of Ohio wa then adapted to the principles he was advocating. ! We bad soap-box orators In Ohio on .every street cdrner and on every evening. We bad Industrial In justice, the-barbarism of the old com mon law doctrines which are every where being abolished. PEOPLE RiAJLl.'r'TO CArSE "There wis no wonder," Governor Cox said, "that I party lines were forgotten and disregarded in the fight that was made or. that the people of the state rallied under the banner of a true Americanism to fight for the cause of progress and humanity. "I had the honor then," Governor Cox continued while the audience again In terrupted him with applause, "to lead the fight for progress and humanity in my own state. . And then, as now, I wae opposed by ' the same alignments and by the same man who is now opposing me for the presidency of the United States. "It was a bitter fight We fought out In the open, end fa the language of An drew Jackson, the ' great fighter of our early days, jwe reserved our fire until we could see the whites of the enemy's eyea GOV LIQUOR ISSUEM X QUIETLY PEW FOR WORSHIP The party was then driven back to the hotel, whare Cox spent the remainder of the day in rest until time for his departure for Salem. Pastors and official boards of several of the Portland churches had extended Invitations to Cox and his party to worship in their lespectlve churches. It was not known' until shortly before their departure what church would be select ed, as Cox had clearly stated that he wanted no display made over the fact that he was attending any church serv ice. It Is said that this has be-n his attitude at all times during his tour regarding bis religious life. DUTY OF CHRISTIANS Dr. Edward H. Pence, pastor of West minster Presbyterian church, conducted the service and preached. His text was from fctrst Thessalonians, fifth chapter: "Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly comfort the feeble-minded see that none render evil for evil to any man." He gave a graphic description of St Paul exhorting the common people of Thessalonica, and pointed out that the exhortations there given are applicable today and that there is still great need of these admonitions. "The great moral and religious forces of the world today are unorganized ; it is the forces of evil that are organized," said the speaker. He discussed the folk with whom St. Paul dealt and their need of reconstruction, and continued: "There is yet before us In the world today a vast hoard of those on whom we must wait and exercise patience and forebearance. Christianity owns the duty of holding society to its great task, the uplifting of humanity. You cannot do Uiis by proxy ; it is the personal touch ; you must do It yourself ; Christianity de mands your service, man to man and woman to woman, in the spirit of him who died on the cross." IBHEYEBEXCE OK I. W. W. The preacher then spoke of the I. W. W. and the radical elements, particu larly of the Pacific Northwest, and their menace to society through their destructive creed, and referred to the cavicature of Christianity which has been used by the I. W. W. In crude 'and irreverent pictures with the wording : "Christ, the first hobo." He pointed out the need of living such Christian lives as would commend Christianity to this element. "Have we really Interpreted Jesus Christ to these men?" asked the speaner. "Is- his unselfishness our unselfishness? These men must be reached Individually . you cannot change the errant and erratic opinion of a man by simply Instructing his mind. The only thing to give is a great motive. This is the big program of the Christian religion." And. whenever I looked into the trenches of the enemy during that long battle I saw the same old crowd that I am seeing now as I look into the trenches of the battle we are now fighting. SAME HAHDIXG, SAME CROWD "I was opposed then, as I am op posed now, by the same forces of re action, and those 'forces were led by Senator Harding, now the presidential nominee opposing me, just as be Is now leading the forces of reaction throughout the naUon against the forces of progress." Governor Cox paused in his address to read various editorial utterances and statements made by Senator Harding at the close of the contest for the adop tion of the Ohio constitution, where the senator had contended that the pro gressive provisions of the new funda mental law would result in "revolu tion" and in continual disturbance. "There are extremes In both directions In the element of revolutionary thought One is as dangerous as the other. The progressive In government takes the middle of the road, and those who in veigh against it later on wilt thank Almighty Hod that fcere is a progres sive government. "I have been through Minnesota, and Idaho, and Washington, and Oregon and the varibus sections of the great West and Pacific Northwest, and I have studied the condiUons of the hour. I can go back to those Hvho believe that at the first instance of radicalism the power of the military must be invoked and applied, and tell them they need not fear results. "At a little staUon in Idaho a man said to me : 'What about Russia and its situation?' I said te him that Russia will find itself, but that the conditions today are the result of oppression for 300 years. If our own government is fair and just and the administrative functions are not bought by a large corruption fund, radicalism will not exist, because it will have no followers In America TOM CATS ARE WOK ' "In Butte, Mont., at a tremendously large meeting, we heard cat calls on the edge of the crowd. I did not know it before, but I have learned that the cat call is the call of the I. W. W.. and I heard the meouwing way out on the edge of the crowd. There has been oppression there, but soon the cat calls ceased, and I'll tell you the Tom cats hadn't gone home either. They were won won by my recital of certain inci dents back home." The speaker then told of the laws in Pennsylvania that restricted public as semblage in certain lines and of the meeUngs of dissatisfied employes of cer tain concerns about Pittsburg. He told how the crews were charged by the mounted constabulary, when they moved across the line onto Ohio terri tory. "I was appealed to and aked what I was going. to do about it," said Cox. "I replied that I would not let anyone break the law, but that I had absolutely no intention of overriding the constitu Uon. "I remember the various newspaper accounts of it and one In particular, from a New York newspaper, which closed by saying: "When the shades of evening fell upon the assembly, they left America and went back Into Si beria' HITS BEACTIOXABT PRESS "Tou always have to have a counter irritant Pennsylvania is our counter irritant back thera Here In Oregon the counter-irritant is that part of your newspaper press which was reactionary of old and that is reactionary now. (Great applause). I "While I haven't mentioned any names. I did-read an editorial in an Oregon paper this morning that said I was taking a good deal of credit for the passing of the workingmen's compensa tion act in Ohio. Welt now, that paper Imply doesn't know. I had no bet ter support In that great fight than from some members of the legislature who- were Republicans. I am proud of the Republicans of Ohio who have elected me three times." Here there was a great outburst of applause, and cries of "They'll elect you again, too." The speaker aroused enthusiastic ap plause when he declared that next to Christ himself Abraham Lincoln wae ln stpred by God in bis efforts to keep the nation together, and that Theodore Roosevelt was God-inspired when he served notice1 that government places could not be bought with money. THAT CHICAGO CLIQUE Cox described the scenes at the Chi cago convention, telling the inside his tory of the meeting late at night when certain "practical politicians" bad "a certain gentleman before them and asked him some questions, and then de cided that the next morning they would take a few ballots and then nominate him." "What were those questions T" he asked. He declared that the man of average sense would well know tbey were not about Irrigation of great sec tions of America, development projects, etc., but could surmise readily the real line of questioning. 'That's why I didn't go to the San Francisco convention," said Cox. "And as a result of it I haven't even prom ised a fourth-class postmaatershlp. I have no. Interest, politically, at least, in any front porch except your front porch I want happiness to prevail in all homes, and that is only possible by the appli cation of progressive government." TURJfS OX SLUSH FUXD The speaker told of the advantage his present trip would be to him when in Washington because of his better under standing of the conditions of the .Pa cific Northwest He then turned to the campaign fund situation and was fre quently applauded as he detailed facts regarding the subscription lists of the Republican party, declaring that finan cial corporations had clearly violated the laws of America by their acts In this connection and naming various large contributors. "And then at the tall end we found 1 two names John D. and Little John, whose very souls are possessed with love for the common people," said the speaker. He discussed America's responsibility in the great work of world reconstruc tion after the world war, and declared that, after all, the highest considera tion Is the spiritual resources and that America has a responsibility it cannot evade. SLAPS MORNING PAPER After paying his respects to the Ore gonian in no uncertain terms, he was asked a question from the audience : "Where do you stand on prohibition law enforcement T' Back came the reply : "When I was governor of Ohio, the front door and the back door of every saloon In Ohio was closed on Sunday." A scathing arraignment of Harding's uncertainty on the Ieacue of Nations closed the address. Cox detailed the vas cillating record of Harding and declared : "Senator Harding doesn't know where he stands on the League of Nations, and no one else does. You can dodge the roll call when you are a senator, but you can't do that as a presidential candidate. And I shall keep calling the roll on him. "Where do I stand? Any helpful res ervation that will protect any interest which seems In any way jeopardized will be recognized, but nope that emasculates the toasic principles. The next president. with the cooperation of the senate, will ener in your name the League of the Nations of the World." DR. GOLDSMITH EXPLAINS LEAGUE WHILE CROWD WAITS When 11 :30 o'clock had been reached and The Auditorium was already well filled, Milton A. Miller, acting as tem porary chairman of the meeting, pending the arrival of Dr. C. J. Smith, stepped to the front of the rostrum and in a few words Introduced Dr. Robert Goldsmith of New York, international authority on the League of Nations, who spoke during the interim until the arrival of Governor Cox from Salem. Dr. Goldsmith said he would discuss the League of Nations covenant until such time as'Oovernor Cox should arrive, and as he spoke the name of the distin guished Ohioan his voice was drowned by a rolling burst of applause that swept the vast audience room from rostrum to exits and back again. Dr. Goldsmith said this was a time when the world must progress and so forward. It was not the time when th,e nations of the earth, or the United States, could crawl like the lizzards up the wall of world advancement into the sunshine for a time and then fall back into the shadows again. It was not his intention, he said, to re view the horrors of the war, but he knew that the people of this country and of the world were seeking a condition when that horror would never come back again. CALLS COX PROGRESSIVE The speaker, digressing to the league, told of the constructive record of Gov ernor Cox in Ohio and said it was a fundamental of the principles for which Cox stood to advance the cause of na tional and international progress and peace. The idea of the League of Nations was no new thing, he said. The world had dreamed of it for years, until the idealism of this dream had been brought down Into the chancellories of the statesmen of the world and moulded into definite and concrete form. He discussed the construction of the covenant and said it was drafted after the day sessions of the Versailles con ferences had been held. Wilson, the speaker said, had been made the chair man of the committee to draft the covenant because he had formulated the foundation of the treaty through his 14 points. ROOT AND TAFT AID Dr. Goldsmith told of the aid given by Judge Taft, Elihtr Root and Justice1 Hughes. All of these had submitted amendments, many of which had been adopted, and particularly one had been suggested by Root accepting the prin ciples of Article X for a period of five years. And. the speaker asked, would anyone conxena mat Root, the nestor of Republicanism, would have consent ed to barter the liberty of America for a period of five years 7 Cox Pictures Harding And Russ Leaders Lined Up Together Seattle. Sept 1J. Governor Cox while here showed that be can be decidedly sarcastic. Responding, to a question from a white-haired man as to why the League of Nations had not stopped , the war between Russia and Poland. Governor Cox asserted that "Because the League of Nations Is not potential without the determining voice of America." -By the end of November Germany will have become a member of the league, the governor went on. "and Russia and America will be the only great nations outside the league. "Then we will have three national leaders standing side by side, if reaction triumphs in the November elections In this country, he added. - "And they will by Lenin, TroUky and Warren O. Haniing" . j COURT USELESS WITHOUT LEAGUE. ASMS DOCTOR "It is abturd to suppose that the eminent jurists who labored with Mr. Root under the authority jriveri them by the Council of the League of Nations are going to permit their labors to go for naught In order to please protoplasmic politicians or sinister statesmen In America whose principal concern, first, last and all the time, is to destroy, if possible, the work of the present administra tion." Thus spoke Dr. Robert Goldsmith. stu dent of sociological and International problems, publicist author and lecturer. in discussing the League of Nations Sunday morning at the Multnomah hotel. Dr. Goldsmith was formerly an assist ant editor of Collier's Weekly, and has been an extensive contributor to the periodical press. He published the first book on the problems of the League of Nations, Its title being "A League to Enforce Peace." with a special Intro duction by William Howard Taft. LEAGUE "SECEBSITT" During the 'war he was a member of the Marburg Study group, an unofficial study group meeting with Theodore Marburg, former minister to Belrium. which group elaborated the first draft for a covenant of the League of Nationa He also labored with Colonel House as an adviser to the American peace com missions at Pari a "It Is a matter for proround regret that either the treaty of peace or the cove nant of the Ceague of Nations has be come the football of party politics." he saia. -our nation, as a whole, won the war by standing together as Americans; so also, as a whole, without regard to party lines, it should have finished the job we started, both as to signing the treaty of peace and as to its ratification, "None of the other governments of the allied or associated powers have divided along party lines in the making of the treaty of peace or the signing of the cov enant. As to the desirability of the League of Nations, the time Is gone when it is worth while discussing In academic terms the desirability of such procedure. It has now .become a case of the neces sity of the league. There is no alternative left except. U pernaps, to return to the old. order of things that prevailed before the great war. Neither workers of the world nor women of the world will permit the na tions to do that for they have paid too Urge a price In lives and treasure to for "The Hague court of arbttal justice, instituted in 1899 at the suggestion of the late cxar of Russia, was a voluntary ul Won't Pay More Than $15 for a Fall Hat" And then despaired of finding anything; you'd hive it less.

As for the Root plan for a world court, the sug gestion that it be accepted as ah alterna tive to the League of Nations originated either Ip dense ignorance or with sini ster design to confuse and befuddle the issue. "Mr. Root was but one of 12 who con stituted the Judiciary advisory commit tee appointed toy the court of the League of Nations at Its second meeting In London, the resolution appointing the committee being presented by the former premier of France, Leon Boulsseur.

No doubt it will be approved and accepted by the assembly and will become an Integral part, a definite organ, of the League of Nations.
