COX DWINDLES.

Maine having gone Republican by 65,006, Mr. Cox puts up the figure he says Republicans are going to collect to buy the presidency. He is no longer satisfied with a mere $15,000. That might have been all right if Maine had returned a normal majority. But 65,000 calle for heroic measures, therefore he assures the citizens of Nampa (Idaho) that the corruption fund is not $15,000,000, buti $25,000,000, or $30,000,000. The less verification the more vociferation is Mr. Cox’s motto. The progress of Mr. Cox is significant. Small bore state politicrf has been Mr. Cox’s experience, and some allowance might be made for that fact, but as Mr. Cox has traveled he has grown smaller instead of larger. No expanding sense of his responsibilities as candidate for the highest office in the land and leader of a great historic party has come to him. On the contrary, he talks more and more like a soap •box orator without that individual s usual justification of sincerity. Up to this time Mr. Cox has shown the smallest caliber of any presidential candidate for many years. , No patriotic Republican can be glad of that, though it makes Republican* success the more certain. At any time it would be deplorable to have a national contest put on the plane chosen by Cox, but at a time like the present it is doubly so. We fear that as November approaches Mr. Cox will get worse instead of better in direct ratio with his chances. —Chicago Tribune.

WOMEN SHOWED WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF LEAGUE

Will H. Hays, chairman of the Republican national committee in a statement Wednesday, said the republican party was willing to let the women of the country decide whether the United States “shall enter into obligations which will make her sons liable to be ordered by foreign powers to foreign soils to settle foreign disputes.” Mr. Hays’ statement was made, he said “apropos of the Maine election, which was entirely devoid of local issues, the fight being on the league of nations and Wilson.” “For 150 years the women of thia country have given being to our soldiers,” said Mr. Hays. “For 150 years the women of this country have inspired our soldiers to deeds of unexampled heroism. But the women have had no voice in the disposition of these soldiers. “Now, by the triumph of a supreme justice,' the women will have a voice in the disposition of our soldiers. The Republican party is ready to let the women decide whether the United States shall enter into obligations which will make her sons liable to be ordered by foreign powers to foreign soils to settle foreign' disputes.”
