The senate com mittee investigating pre-conventlon expenditures resumed its hearing here today with Jake Babler, republican na tional committee man from Missouri as the first witness. . Babler, who gave part of his testi mony in Washington last month, is the man who distributed the Lowden cam paign .fund in Missouri. He openeo today's session by reading a 4000 word prepared statement itemising his ex penditures In the Lowden campaign. He reecived f 16.154, he said, and ac counted for expenditures of $10,621. Wiliam Armstrong, Chicago lawyer, presented a mass of documentary evi dence which, he safd, would "prove that Attorney General A. Mitchell Pal mer had abused the power of his office in order to Influence delegates to ttie democratic national convention." Harry Boggess, who has umpired several games recently for Sai, u only one of many umpires who have been criticised when working through close plays, saiem fans have express ed their appreciation of the umpire's attempt to please both teams and the grandstand. But as one fan observes. It can t be done." In willingly making way for an new man who will solve the problems of the Salem fans, Mr. Boggess shows the right spirit when requested to ine sent a few angles on the game here. His observations follow, and rnlgnv be entitled "An Umpire's View pf the Game (referring to the Senator-Kirk series). Spectators and Players": "Baseball is the cleanest sport In the world. Let's keep It clean. "If the managers mutually agree an umpire prior to the game, allow him a chance to work without man clous crabbing. Interested 'fanning la welcomed by myself, at least, and by all fair minded men in this end of the game. If an umpire is not satisfactory after one trial, put in another of f lots 1. "During the series here with the1 Klrkpatricks It was observed that they were pretty fair losers, dropping three games to one victory. . There were more than the ordinary number of close plays on bases, at home plate and on deliveries. Each umpire offi ciating in these game called 'em as he saw 'em. The Salem team also match-. es this spirit. , "It Is suggested for the benefit of those who criticise continually, that they try it out some time or think twice before condemning a referee fo close decisions that must be made at an Instant's notice. .,- " ' "Salem Is developing a good club that is a credit to the city. With players and fans co-operating more thoughtfully with the umpire, local In terest In the Senators' fortunes will be greatly stimulated." Not unlike many another boy who attained prominence In later life James Middleton Cox. governor of Oh io, was born on a farm near Jackson burg, Ohio, March SI, 1870. He at tended the district schools of the neigh borhood, became a printer's devil, printer, school teacher, newspaper re porter, private secretary to a cong ressman, owner, manager, editor and proprietor of two newspapers, member of congress for three terms and gov ernor of the state of Ohio for three terms. In the eyes of his friends this record is an outstanding reason for his can didacy for president, in the coming el ectionand It is added by his friends from the Buckeye stale that thts is not only the sentiment of those of his own political faith the democratic party but by many men of all other political faiths.

The same application which made Mr. Cox a successful business man by his own efforts and from which he achieved a good sized fortune, made Tilm a congressman, regarded as ex ceptionally efficient, and governor of a nominally republican state. He first became a candidate for governor as the leader of the progres sive movement which demanded changes In the state constitution. As a proponent of these changes he took the field on behalf of the pro posed amendments and was called by the democratic party Into Its councils and made its candidate out in his ori ginal campaign and obtained the pas sage and enactment of laws which placed the constitution in its new form In full effect. However, before all of the changes In contemplation could be assimilated a political contest developed and In the turmoil of the following election Governor Cox was defeated for re-el ection. Re-elected Governor. o. Undismayed by this sudden shock to his political ambitions, the former governor braved the storm and again became a candidate in the next guoer natorial race. In this election he was successful and served the state as its leader in the numerous activities dur ing the war. Aeain in the face of a political re versal of opinion which sent a tidal wave aaross the state, Governor Cox was elected for a third term by an ov erwhelmine majority when every oth er candldaleAm the democratic ticket was defeated. In this connection It may ivn Mated .that no other governor r.n served three terms in the state 01 ciilo save Rutherford B. Hayes who left his third term to become president 01 tne United States; During the turmoils preceding the war when industrial unrest was so pre valent in states where large manuiac turing interests were centered,. Gov ernor Cox displayed his ability as a leader of his contituency In meeting the situation. This same leadership was carried on during the period of the war and has since come ihrougn the reconstruction, with all Its attend ant disorders, with domestic peace and without at any time resorting to force-. Sturtert as Teacher. James Middleton Cox started his ac tive career as a teacher in school dis trict No. 1, in Wayne township Butler county, where he had earlier attended school. His evenings were spent in the printing offices of the local publica tions and a few years later he was ac cepted as a reporter on the start 01 the Cincinnati Enquirer. The next ten wars were devoted to active newspa per work in almost every capacity of that newspaper. He is next heard of as private secre tary to Congressman Paul Sorg of the third Ohio district ana at tne ciuse of his services in Washington he pur chased the Dayton, Ohio, Daily Ne. borrowing most of the money with which to carry on the business of the paper which at the time naa a very small circulation. Mr. Cox put all his energies intno making the publication a successful business venture and so well did he 'carry out his plans that he was soon owner also of the Springfield Dally News which today stands out as one of the newspaper successes ot tne country. Sent to Cong res. In 1908 he was nominated and elect ed to congress from the third Ohio dis trict and was re-elected for a second term and also a third. In public life, Governor Cox was al ways regarded as a progreslve and many of the laws now on the statute books of his home state which bear this progressive trend were sponsored by him both as congressman and gov ernor. Among these laws for which the governor assumes responsibility are: A model workman's compensation act; a child labor law that has been cop ied be several other states; a mother's pension system; the Initiative and re ferendum; a scientific budget; a pri son farm providing healthy occupation for convicts; elimination of sweat shops; a blue sky law to protect Ohio Investors; consolidation of useless bu reaus; time limit on storage of food products and to check profiteering; extension of a good orads system by main market and inter-county roads. School men In Ohio are quoted as saying that the Ohio school code of today will live as an everlasting monu ment to the achievements of Governor Cox. Governor Cox recently purchased the farm near Jacksonburg on which he was born and is transforming it into a modern farm where he expects to spend his later days. He has a com fortable, modern suburban home at Dayton which he designed and where he resides when not in the state capl tol attending to his official duties. Governor Cox has four children, two boys and two girls. centers of learning.

" JOURNAL WANT ADS PAY their activities.' Election Ends Irish Harmony ' Of Government Dublin. The net result of the recent county council elections is that now both in the cities and in the counties in 28 out of 32 counties the local gov ernment is in direct hostility to the central government. The first conflict between them will arise out of the question of paying compensation for outrage. Every day the judges are awarding to the rela tives of murdered policemen, to In jured policeman, and to the owners of burned police premises large sums as compensation chargeable on the local rates. The total already runs up close to 750,000 pounds. ' The local authorities have refused to collect taxes for these payments. In the case of some of them the gov ernment can secure money by deduc tions from the sums payable to the local authorities .by the imperial ex chequer In relief of local taxes. In the majority bf cases the parties awarded compensation have only ac quired a right to sue the local authori ties in the courts for the money. It is believed that even after judgment is given, the local authorities will refuse to pay. Many of them have passed re-' solutions saying they will recognize no authority save that of Dail Eireman. The government has decided to in troduce a bill in Parliament to enforce payment of this compensation money. Lloyd George Seeks to Destroy. Laborites, Claim London. Arthur Henderson, secre tary to the Labor party, has stated that Premier LloydaQeorge is out to destroy the Labor party, but the Pre mier himself characterized the state ment as "simply absurd." , "It is perfectly true," he adds, "that I am opposed to the extremists In the Labor party and that I am strongly opposed to the extremist proposals of some of their number, for example the suggestion to nationalize everything. That is a very different matter to be ing out to destroy the Labor party. So far from that I am delighted to see the Labor party seeking by constitutional means to achieve its legitimate aims." London-Paris Air Passenger Rates Reduced Paris. Early announcement , is ex pected of the reduction of passenger rates for air travel between London and Paris and many are wondering if the day is far distant when it may be cheaper to travel by air than by land and sea. At the beginning of the London-Paris air service last year the price for one way ticket on small fast machines was 20 guineas and 15 guin eas on the largest passenger ships. It Is now reported that fares will soon ba reduced to 10 pound, 10 shillings. In one recent week's flying more than 100 passengers were carried in the London-Paris air service and it is hoped that a reduction in price will What Will Your Wife Do With Your Insurance Money?

So many queer looking ra- ces, (despled outsiders defeating ill-j ustrious horses) have been uncovered! at the metropolitan tracks since thej opening of the racing season that Ba- Iron de Rothschild, himself one of thej wigcai uwneis 111 r runce as well as. deputy for Pau, has brought the mat-1 ter to the attention of the French Chamber. Baron de Rothschild has asked the Chamber to pass a law for the sup pression of book making in Paris and largest cities of France, the books to be replaced by Parf-fhutual 'booths in the cities. The French government receives 10 percent on all moneys taken in at the fari-mutuai Dooms at tne various tracks. As the amounts bet at the dif ferent tracks vary from 5,000.000 to 10.000,000 francs daily the French government derives from the racing industry a revenue of between 500,000 and 1.000,000 francs per day. Baron de Rothschild said In the French Chamber that more money was bet with the books operating in Pasis each day than at the tracks; estimating that 10,000,000 francs per day- were wagered in the city alone This is a net loss of 1.000,000 francs a day for the governmont. He charges that several races had been run with 'such flagrant evidence ot crookedness that had such racing been attempted in England or America, the owners. trainers or jockeys would have been ruled off the turf for life. It has been alleged that the book makers gather in all the city money in the forenoon, no bet being accepted under and circumstances after 1 p. m.
