Peace and the League.
Before Governor Coi babbles much
more about the necessiy of the Lea
gue of Nations for the estabishment
of peace, he would do well to refresh
his memory of what was said by his
former party leader. President Wil
son, when that question was first
raised. Less than a year before we
entered the war, and while lie was
seeking reelection on the platform
of "He kept us out of war," Presi
dent Wilson said:
"If it should ever be our privilege
to suggest or initiate a movement
for peace among the nations now at
war, I am sure that the people of the
Tnited States would wish their gov
ernment to move along these lines:
First, such a settltement with regard
to their own immediate interests as
the belligerents may agree upon. We
have nothing material of any kind
to ask for ourselves, and are quite
aware that we are in no sense or de
gree parties to the present quarrel.
Our interest is only in peace and its
future guarantees. Second, an uni
versal association of the nations to
maintain the inviolable security of
the highway of the seas for the
common and unhindered use of all
the nations of the world, and to pre
vent any war begun either contrary
to treaty covenant or without warn
ing and full submission of the causes
to the opinion of the world a vir
tual guarantee of territorial integri
ty and political independence."
So then, before we entered the
war the President was arguing in the
strongest way for a treaty of peace
first, and a League of Nations after
ward. Of course, our subsequent en
try into the war, solely on account of
Germany's aggressions against us,
did not change the logic of the case
in that respect in the slightest de
gree. After we had entered, and af
ter the war had been fought almost
to a finish, and after Germany had
sued for and received an armistice,
the situation was absolutely un
changed, so far as the relation be
tween peace and a league of nations
was concerned. In November and
December, 1917, it was just as pro
per, just as logical, and just as in
cumbent as it was in May or Juner"
1916, that there should first be a
settlement among the belllgeranu,
with regard to their immediate in
terests, and that the organization of
a league of nations should come sec
ond, after that first task had been
completed.
Of course we all know why Presi
dent Wilson changed his tone, flatly
reversed himself, and insisted tna,
the treaty of peace and the Covenant
of the League of Nations shoud be
inextricably and inseparably woven
together and adopted simultaneous
ly. It was in order to dragoon the
Senate into approving his fantastic
league scheme, under penalty of in
curing the odium of rejecting a
treaty of peace. But it does seem
unnecessarily asinine even for Gov
ernor Cox to prate at this late date
about the inseparability of the two
things, and the absolute dependence
of immediate peacemaking upon
adoption of the League Covenant.
Harvey's Weekly.
The Farmer Will Restore Our
Game Birds.
It is now pretty weil established
that the multitude of game lawa on
the statute books over nearly every
state in the union are not saving the
game. The more laws, the faster
American game is disappearing.
In the meanwhile, these laws are
building up a huge army of office
holders game wardens and their
large police forceB which are costing
the taxpayers an enormous sum every
year In salaries and expenses.
There is one sure way by which we
can make game plentiful again in
this country even plentiful as food
for the mass of the people. At the
same time 90 per cent of the game
police can be discharged. Here it is.
Cut out the game laws. Make
game the property of the farmer on
whose acres it lives not the proper
ty of the state. Then the farmer,
the farmer's wife and the farmer's
boys and girls will find that it will
be worth their while to protect
pheasants, quail, grouse and other
birds from their vermin enemies and
feed them on occasional emergencies
in the winter. They will even take
the trouble to breed them because a
pheasant, for instance, today brings
$2 a pound. Game birds will al
ways be more valuable to the farmer
than his poultry If he can sell them
for food.
Todsy the law prevents him from
breeding and raising game birds for
food. Think of It in this 20th cen
tury: a prohibition against produc

Cox Is Losing Popular Esteem.
(From the Providence Journal)
When the San Francisco conven
tion chose James M. Cox, Governor
of Ohio, to be the Democratic stand-
made a successful State executive and
that the more the public studied his
official record at Columbus, the I
stronger he would become as a Presi
dential candidate. The reverse turns
out to be true.
Governor Cox is now seen to have
been all along a politician of the fa
miliar "small" and "smart" type.
With a certain faculty for aggressive
action he has united an untiring will
ingness to play the game, to match
faction against faction, to sacrifice
the public interest to the demands of
party, to make appointments of a
shameful character In short to so
conduct the office of Governor in such
a fashion as to commend himself to
the very persons to whom he owes
his nomination tor President, the
managers of a group of highly effi
cient Democratic city machines.
The Warnes tax law, about which
Mr. Cox's advocates have had a good
deal to say. Is an illustration of his
methods in politics. One of his em
ployes, writing in a popular maga
line, would have us believe that this
statute, for which the Governor was
responsible, worked a radical reform
in Ohio, whereas the simple fact is
that it enabled him to build up a
strong centralized machine there, in
creased taxes and finally became so
intolerable that it was repealed five
years ago since which time Cox has
never dared to propose its reenact
ment. It has been asserted that "not a
single piece of legislation which was
enacted during his first term as Gov
ernor was repealed by his Republican
successor in the interim between his
first and second terms," but the
Warnes law was thus repealed, the
civil service act was so amended as
practically to be done away with, and
the agricultural commission act suf
fered the same fate.
Again, credit for the workmen's
compensation law in Ohio has been
claimed for Governor Cox, but the
first statute of this sort was enacted
before he became Governor. A Re
publican Legislature as long ago as
1910 created a commission to study
the question and the initial legisla
tion was enacted In the year follow
ing. Thus the smooth assertions of Gov
ernor Cox's "success" might be ana
lyzed one by one, with the result that
he would be shown to be merely an
agile politician with his eye forever
on the possibility of gaining votes by
his official action.
But this is not all. Mr. Cox as the
Journal's Washington correspondent,
writing from Ohio, has pointed out,
has not hesitated to put unfit men in
to high public positions. The facts
are plain for anyone to read, and they
compel the questiton: How could he
be trusted to make proper appoint
ments If he were chosen President of
the United States.
Since he was nominated at San
Francisco he has distinctly fallen off
in popular esteem by reason of his
cheap ridiculous charts of Republi
can "corruption." Never in the his
tory of American politics has a bub
ble of misstatement been more
promptly or effectively punctured

than his contemptible allegations of
a flfteeti-mlUiou-dollar fund with
which, us he even now continues to
say, his opponents have set out "to
buy the Presidency." Even the
Chairman of the Democratic Nation
al Committee professes ignorance of
any such fund. The principal Demo
cratic newspaper In the country de
clares it Is time to stop talking about
It. But still the candidate's mind
refuses to abandon the theme. It Is
an issue after his own heart, the on
ly one he seems to understand, useful
from his point of view in distracting
public attention from other and more
genuine public problems. He appears
to be unable to discuss In a states
manlike way any great political issue.
Candidate Cox is engaged in a con
tinuous performance of solf-reveal-ment.
The American people, mean
while, are industriously sizing him
up, and there can be little doubt of
their verdict that he is a curbstone
orator, a petty ward-room politician
suddenly translated Into a sphere too
big for him. Ills candidacy Is re
grettable; his election would be a na
tional misfortune.
