COX AS THE SUPREME EESERVATIONIST Governor Cox, revealed by his acceptance speeen, is the supreme rejservationist, though he poses paradoxically as the champion of the Wilson league. V The Democratic nominee insists that America's duty to the world compels her to say: 'l accept the obligations of this covenant of the League of Nations." But he wants, then, to add these words: It will, of course, be understood that in carrying out . i the purpose of the League, the government of the United States must at all times act in strict harmony with the terms :. and intent of the United States constitution, which can not in any way be altered by the treaty-making power.' IT'. . -' . This constitutes a blanket reservation more sweeping than any ever championed by Lodge in the United States senate. With it, Cox will kill articles 10 and 11 of the league covenant, . which obligate the nations of the League to protect one another, in case of war, and empower the League council to. prescribe such ac- tiqn. The constitution 'of the United States reserves to the Congress : alone the power to involve the people of the nation in a war. . "With this reservation, Oox will kill article 13, which gives the League council certain power to interpret treaties. The constitution ' of the United States reserves to the supreme court the interpretation . ui our ireaues. . rWith this reservation, Cox will alter the entire complexion of the ( league. The constitution reserves to the people (or the states) all powers not given the federal government, among them the sole right 4 to treat with the suggestion of a supergovernment for nations. With sueh a reservation, ratification of the covenant' by a Senate legally powerless to bind the Nation would be only a grandstand play. The Cox reservation is very inclusive. It not only nullifies any action not in harmony with the terms of the constitution, but also . any action not in harmony with the constitution's "intent." This ; rehders the whole ratification proposition legally unsound, for the League, to be effective at all, must have powers, and if it is to have powers, they must be delegated. to it by its members, or, in the case - of the United States, by the. President and the Senate. But the Pres ident and the Senate are agents of the people and the states. This twas the complete intent of the constitution. An agent cannot re delegate his agency without express authority from his principal. A delegate cannot delegate what is delegated. - 1 -c ) No authority has ever been given the Presdient or the Senate to re-delegate any of their "powers. i Cox, trying by elegant language and political rebuke, to make it appear that he champions the League "as isj' clings at the same time to the theory consistently advanced by the Republicans, that the nation must enter no league which will impair the constitutional rights of its people. . . This new attitude of the Ohio governor may put the Democratic party in an embarrassing position. Heretofore it has championed the Versailles covenant with all its teeth and all its authority, and de clared the United States morally bound to participate in the super government created. It has alleged that the super-government is de sirable.. Now it' asks the nation to sign a formal contract knowing that its constitution relieves it legally of the pact's onerousness. It is asked to tell a deliberate falsehood to the world. There is no need to decide wheih position would be more shame ful to America. To sacrifice part of our independence to a supreme war power Would be disgracefully un-American. To pretend to make that sacrifice, with the mental reservation that our promise is not binding and our signature no pledge at all, would be the blackest international deceit. ed mission. Neither will Harding or Cox be known as the White House hermit. Exchange.

Roosevelt and his Jlmmie pipe are appearing in the newspaper be enough pictures. Rut that won't to elect him. Calrin Coolidge is the mascot of this presidential campaign. He has run fourteen times for public office and has never been defeated. It Is a long, long trail from the peak of high prices down to the foot hills, but "coining down" has been substituted for the high sign, in s:ead of "going up." Of course, when the Socialists elect Eugene Debs, he can pardon himself out of the penitentiary. Hadn't thought of that, had you? "Order reigns in Warsaw." That was the word Napoleon once sent. But that was before the time of the Polshevikt. Our happenstance Governor. is mealy-mouthed with the Ameri can legigon inen. But he has not shown his sincerity by standingTe hind them on their return from service, preferring slackers and lick spittle politicians. The Legion men despise lip-service handshakers wno lawn and inss to camouflage their insincerity. - ; In; Wilson's single track mind, it was the "League of Imaginations.

( A . There Is enough gold tnd silver and copper beneath one mountain spur In the Santiam mining district to hard-surface a road into that dis trict with ; those precious metals. It rill not always be, that these ores must stay unmlned for the want of a few miles of passable roads and one or two bridges. They will come out. The! world needs them. There is enough water power in that dis trict to smelt them and haul them to market, with enough over to run all the wheels in Salem, were It a city several times its present size. American are absorbed In domes tic politics, in their own affairs. Yet, u i. settled J problems have no mercy for the repose of nations. "America first," "forget Europe." may be the aspiration! today of the bulk of the people, yet facta are facts, and the Bolshevist armies' defeat of Poland. with Lenine tendering a conqueror's terms of peace, is the most cleaving raft of the current history of the world. There will be more reper cussion from it than from the Chi cago and San Francisco conventions combined. Springfield Republican. Senator Harding, if elected, will bring us peace. That much is cer tain. It Is not so certain that Gov ernor Cox will succeed so well if he insists upon ratification of the treaty of Versailles or nothing. It is Mr. Tail's opinion that he will only achieve deadlock. Senator Harding is further committed to an effort to assemble some sort of a league, j We are frankly In hopes that he will have sense enough 'to take a league already functioning and with a constitution ready-mad Europe has already said that it will accept the Lodge reservations with out serious protest. It only remains for America to accept her own league with her own reservations. Philadelphia Ledger. Throughout Governor Coolidee's address j accepting the Republican nomination for vice president there is evident sn Americanism based upon ideals of common sense, econ omy, .both personal and official; ob servance of the law and co-operation in Solving the problems of the time. These, it Is hardly to be doubted, are likewise the Ideals of the great . Inconspicuous majority, which, though sometimes almost lost to sight! behind superficial extrava gance, and sometimes out-shouted by the voico of radicalism, continues, nevertheless, to be the dominant Am erican element It is In ramlly life that this Americanism expresses it self; and it is from the family that this influence proceeds. It is. there fore, a '' vital message, not" a plati tude, that Governor Coolidge con veys in the words: "Look well to the hearthstone; therein all hope for America lies." Chicago News.

"Agricultural and Industrial Pro gress In Canada" Js the name of a circular, issued weekly by H Can adian Pacilic railway, through its department of colonization and de velopment. Following are three paragraphs of the many Interesting ones In the current issue: "Winnipeg. Man.

Cullen, a well known miner and prospector of northern Ontario, owns an in strument which he claims possesses the power to locate precious metal, and has been engaged by a syndicate ot New York men for the purpose of visiting the Cocos Islands and there "endeavoring to locate the al leged hidden, treasures of Captain Kidd. The owner, of the instrument declares that it works on the prin ciple that .affinities attract each other, and that by the proper use of a small piece of gold the instru ment will point out the location of an ore deposit of hidden treasure containing fold." The flax fibre produced in Mani toba is not as high in quality as that produced in. the Salem district, of course. Rut the British are foster ing flax growing in the home land and in the colonies, following thd outlined plan to make tneirs a self sufficient empire; absolutely. They are encouraging immigra tion from all countries, and borrow ing all the outside capital they can get for , development purposes in Canada; getting mo3t of the loose money In 8alem, right now, on high priced bonds. . The Captain Kidd item is merely one of Interest. It chases the mind back to many interesting memories. RKAL PROGRESS.
