A "COUNTY CILIEinCAiSpSGi Tose wiio remember the scene in tnat old play, "Tte County Cnalrman," In wnicti the backwoods campaign director, disposes of a candidate's scruples with toe popous announcement, "you are only tbe candidate," will not be surprised at reports cl the coming early resignation of George White trom the chairmanship of the democratic national committee. Chairman Cummlngs, after being the chief oratorical figure at the San Francisco convention, was unceremoniously dumped to make room for one whose mind would1 go along more smoothly with that ol Gvernor Cox. Chairman White thereupon was proclaimed by democratic organs to be a second Cclonel House, a most intimate guide, philosopher and triend of Governor Cox, who would sagaciously and faithfully steer him to. victory. And the very first time Chairman White opened his mouth to talk tor publication he proceeded to put his foot in it. "Oh, you want to know about the league of nations, eh?" he remarked to the newspaper boys at Washington. "Wei?, we don't hear much about the league any more out in Ohio. It's not going to be the prominent issue of this campaign." Pressed a3 to what would be the paramount issue, Mr. White replied with delightful vagueness that it would be "pregreselvism." The next morning the New Ycrk Times and other democratic organs hastened to rebuke Mr. White for Mb crime not only by heresy, but of lese majeste. But Itey wer entirely too hard on Mr. White. It was a mistake of the heal and not of 'the heart. The chairman and friend of Candidate Cox no doubt had heard his chief remark in the confidence of the council chamber that he hoped to goodness the league would not be made the issue, for he knew, he couldn't win on it against the overwhelming opinion of the American people. And Mr. Cox's wiih became the father of Mr. White's unjudiciously spoken thought. But Candidate Cox, now thoroughly "up against the issue, 13 doing hla level best to be all things to all men, He told Presl dent Wilson at that historic Sabbath morning meeting that he- was for the Wilsonian covenant- And he has since told others that he is for the covenant with reservations. In the meantime Chairman White has been floundering around in a maze of doubts and contradictions. He ia for the Wilson covenant on Mondays. Wednesdays and Fridays and in favor of reservations on Tuesdays, Thursdays end Saturdays. And on Sunday he tries to regain h1a rcental equilibrium by taking the rest cure. Now, poor man, he want to quit his job before the campaign has got fairly 6tart.ed. Liiie Colonel House bu Tiaa tired of trying to serve a chief with a weathervane mind. After he retires, one of thes days, Mr. White Ehonld take a run down to Washington or up to Watertown, N. Y., and have a goc-d. long, sympathetic chat with ex-Secretary Lansing. It might do hitn good.

THE TIMES

Fridnv, Ai.iizu.-t 27. 1920.

GOES TO PROTEST. "Platform promises are promissory uotes, and must be paid," righteously exclaims Gov. Cox. That's what the people were told in 1912 and 1916, when candidate Wilson sturdily asserted that the Democratic platform meant business, an i that its promises were not "molasses to catch flies." The complete shattering of every plank In those platforms is now a matter of notorious record, and a dependable indication of what would happen again if the Democrats were given another chance to deceive the people.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN FICTION. The wonder is that writers of fiction so palpably agouized to produce new fantasies with apparent basis ui fact, have not seized avidly upon the myriad phenomena cf prohibition, or American phenomena under i Ue operation ol prohibition enactments, fcvery other brld has been combed over, utilized, lertllied. harvested worked to barrenness. liven tbe great war, so rich a them for a long time for story-mongers, gcod. poor and intolerable, has been ravaged, to' au extreme, and nearly all the publishing purvejors of its tragedies, romances, comedies and deviltries in fiction have cried enough. So with the detective cult, buried treasure, thr aspiring country girl lost in the ctiy s maelstrom, the gentleman burglar, the haunted castle, the captive heroine, airplane and submarine'adventure, and all the other hackneyed threes and babbling?, ad naueeam. Prohibition ambuscades and escapades, bootlegging, smuggling, moonshintng. private stills, national and international devices to evade the law which often exhibit a quality of real genius in devising and executing are innumerable, marvelous of invention, infinite of variety, involving all elements cf drama, comedy, romance and tragedy; and apparently the thrilling moving picture of daring and evasion and heai t-throbbing expectation is little further advanced than the prologue. Contrabrand is being shot under waters of the Great Lakes in torpedoes and the surface is dotted thick with all kinds of launches engaged in smuggling liquor frcm Canada. Beverages banned iu the United States are brought from Cuba, Central America and Mexico by yachts, sea-going tugs, airplanes and Rio Grande canoes. The cup that exhilarates and inebriates is brewed and distilled in cave and desert, cellar and attic, valley and mountain fastness, and an army of 75,000 persons is employed by the government to suppress this making and trafficking.

THE GOLD STAR HOMES. An official cf the American Legion asks ex-service m'..n not to fcrget the parents and relatives of America's heroes in the homes of the gold stars. The heroes of the war cannot be recalled. Their places in the home and family will never be filled. ot the friends the ex service men can make the burdens lighter, clear away shadows and comfort and aid fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters or wiies cf the departed. It is, after all, the little things in life that are appreciated. Material things can be acquired through individual effort, but we cannot accept the friendship of others unless it Is voluntarily extended. It Is our solemn duty to remember the men who died for America and America's cause. Yes, th soldiers will remember those who live in the gold star homes. Others

as well ought to extend that spirit of humane recog

nition.

PERSONALLY we have the kindliest feelings. FOR Jimmy Cox even though one or the dear girls WHOSE hand we love to clasp IS going to vote for him just because he looks LIKE the brother of an old sweetheart of hers . IT'S mighty hard for a man TO look sad when he's attending the FUNERAL of an old grouch who has just died AND left him $50,000. ONE reason we guess why the neighbor WOMEN like to see a man FORM a comparatively innocent habit LIKE chewing gum is so they

VAX express the fear to friends THAT It may be tobacco. OIR idea of a labor-saving device IS to drop in on the kindly occulist EVERY few days on the pretense that there is SOMETHING wrong with our glasses AND in this way get them washed and polished

IP with tisue paper frfr nothing. AN editor's idea of a mldseason straw hat IS a dime's worth of cleaner. THERE comes a time In the life of every pair of pania ( AND this is purely a man's item 1HE their owner, looking forward with perhaps FOOLISH confidence to an uncertain futura ACTUALLY tries to wear them COMPLETELY out ao that it WILL be wholly out of the question for THEM to do duty next year. ! Jl'ST because a man stands for FIE minutes in front of a showwindow IS no sign that he ia interested In the goods displayed there, for the chances j ARE that he is using the window FOR a mirror to admire himself In. i After ail when all is said and done j I AND not to put to fine a point oa it PETT1BOCKER3 are cut on inch , generous lines i THAT to unpractical eyes I THEY look much more like pettls . than bockers.

IT would have overtaken him IF he had given It ha'.f a chance. THESE transparent summer skirts REVEAL the fact that there are a

Tone

If you are to get the utmost in enjoyment and inspiration from your piano, then you must carefully consider tone. The value of a piano is largely measured by its tonal quality and the permanence of that tonal quaKty. Straube-made instruments invite comparison. We do not believe you will find a piano anywhere with better or more lasting tone than Straube. Just come in and try a Melo-Harp yourself. You'll recognize Straube quality at once.
