TI1K DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES. (Winchester Democrat.) Viewed from every angle, measured 'to meet every essential, plumbed, squared and leveled, the Democratic party, in its one hundred, and twenty years of continuous existence, never put forth a better v ticket than the deliberations at San Francisco brought out. Both nominees are fine, upstanding, full-fronted, virile Americans, to the manor born, Democratic in breeding, bearing men of the people, in touch with the needs of the people. James Middleton Cox, three times elected governor of, the great state of Ohio, twice sent to Congress, and in each station making a most enviable record, is a genuine Jeffersonian, in thought, act and purpose. To every fundamental of the great founder his mind is both cohesive and adhesive. He believes that "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" is God-given. Not one syllable would he strike out of the "Bill of Rights." Has he a shibboleth for a happy nation? Yes: it is FREEDOM! Free men free minds, free speech, free service for righteousness that is, equality of all men under the law. No man has tho right to be master of another, and that creature is not much of a man who will be subservient to a master. James M. Cox has never been allied with any corporate cliques or buccaneers of Big Business. No danger that he will ever barter honor for power, or conscience for glory, lie has, perhaps, one obsession the rigid enforcement of all law. While not partial to a bad law he still insists upon its strictest enforcement as the best mode for its final riddance by due process of legislation. While one does not think of him as an idealist yet he has idealized many real factors of good government and has realized genuine ideals by for

ward-looking and mation.

Of a verity the chider of the idealist is a sodden throwback. Only by the attainment of ideal has the world made progress. The march of civilization has been led by idealists. Mo

ses, the ancient lawsnver. was an

idealist. He restored Israel's liberties. Jesus of Nazareth was an

idealist, but the Sermon on the Mount

encompasses the wisdom of the

world. Columbus was an idealist but

he had the courage to prove how fac

tual were his theories. Jefferson was

an idealist, whom the old monarch ists laughed to scorn; but his immor

tal doctrine of equal rights will abide

from everlasting to everlasting. Lin

coin was primarily an idealist but the

prescience of realization was vouch

safed unto the great martyr. So when

the finger of blackguardism points to

Wilson, the idealist, we think of the

goodly company he keeps, and we ask the groat Cod of the universe to

send us another like unto him yea,

many such.

lhe new Democratic leader may not emphasize his ideals so deeply,

but nevertheless he is a dreamer of

fine things moral, spiritual, soulful.

One may predict what he may do by

what he haA done. Any. true Demo erat must feel proud of the leader

ship of such men. In the open, unafraid, unabashed, sure of his knowledge, conscious of the justice of his cause, James iL Cox has shown himself master of both practical and theoretical politics. Noble in bearing, faithful to purpose and promise, such men become great assets of the Nation. James iL Cox is an adept in read

ing the plans of the opposition. He knows men and their motives. He

knows how to gauge their purposes

how to abet the good and to defeat the evil. The inalienable rights, bought

by the blood of the fathers, are still

ours and must be maintained. It is

no less true now than in that olden day, when the colonists, promulgated the doctrine: "Resistance to unjust laws is obedience to God." Our candidate is imbued with this sort of political philosophy. Franklin Delano Roosevelt, of New

York, for the past seven years the1 efficient Assistant Secretary of the

Navy, is the nominee for Vice President. He is much the same type of

aggressive combatant for civic right

eousness as Mr. Cox. -A thorough Democrat to a degree, we can also

speak of the Roosevelt Democratic party as equal off-set to the Roosevelt Republican party. In 1910 when

but twenty-eight, he went to the

New York State Senate from a strong Republican district. His atti

tude toward reform measures made

him still more popular and two years

later he was re-elected with a larger

plurality. This office he resigned in

1913 to accept the position he now holds. A fine athletic figure, six feet in height, young, masterful, he will make a mighty appeal to the young blood of the country. As a

matter of fact both candidates are

exceptionally capable men and one

very essential fact is they fit the

platform in fullest measure.

So far as recollection and reading

goes this is the first time that oppo

sition statesmen and press have ever conceded that the Democrats have put

forth their best men. They seem to have been scared into telling the truth for once. Think of this from

the Chicago Tribune:

"The Republicans realize that they

have as much of a fight on their

hands as the Democrats could pre

pare for them." It also tells Senator Harding that he will have to come off his front porch "come out of his intrerichments and take the

aggressive."

The New York Tribune says: "The supporters of Senator Harding will

be most foolish if they do not frank

ly realize the formidableness of the

Cox and Roosevelt ticket."

The Detroit Free Press says: "The San Francisco convention has chosen

the most formidable candidates with in its reach."

Our own Shaffer Star says: "The

ability of the nominee (Cox) to make an energetic and effective campaign is not open to the slightest question, as his wonderful career in stressful Ohio politics abundantly proves." The Republicans have quit talking about a walkaway. They are strip

ping for action. (Without vast boodle they are hopeless, and boodle has already done the party immense harm. Truly the great party of the people has. chosen well. The cause of Democracy has attained its loftiest altitude. It is untrammeled, free ol barnacles or dead weights. The great party of individual freedom again renews its vows at the Temple of Liberty. The forces of humanity are mustered to beat back the feudal barons who seek control of a nation made free of their grasp eight years ago. Plutocrats pampered by privilege must not scourge the workers. Government must not be manacled by predatory arrogance. Our heralds are on the ramparts. They are moulded of the stuff that makes heroes, prophets and saviors. Hail to Cox and Roosevelt!

MOKE TAXATION The taxpayers of Indiana are to have their log pulled in a good oldfashioned way, apparently, by a oneut 'qjiuis P3 sJJt PUB "JK P3!SIA the Legislature meets' in special session. In sneaking of the proposed increase the Indianapolis News says: At present, the Indiana" highway commission's tax levy is 3.9 cents on each $100 of taxable property. A bill has been prepared for introduction when the Eegispature meets in special session that would make the levy 30 cents, an increase of 26.1 -ents.' Where the commission now has approximately $7,750,000 for the 1920 program, it would have between $26,000,000 and - $30,000,000 available for road and bridge construction, overhead expenses and maintenance n 1921. The existing highway rate yields the commission about $2,242,jOO. The difference between that and $7,750,000 is made up by federal aid, automobile license fees, inheritance taxes and other revenue. The proposed o0-cent rate, based on the state's total taxables, would yield about $18,000,000 from the, state ilone, and this would be increased by federal aid, licence fees, etc.

FEWER FLIES. There are fewer houseflies than

usual, nearly everywhere. It is one

or tne blessings of a summer

which many pessimists seem to

agine they have nothing to be

ful for. There are several rea.-i..

not only explaining this relief from

the ancient pest, but promising

greater immunity hereafter.

About half of it, perhaps, has

come from taking thought, and the other half by chance. In the former category may be placed the screen

ing of houses, the liberal use of swatters and the elimination of the flies' breeding places measures of an aggressive war of extermination

and prevention. Increasing cleanli

ness indoors and outdoors, as part

of a general improvement in sanitation has helped mightily. Possibly,

too, such ultra-scientific methods as using a shade of blue wall-paper that the flies particularly abominate

have had seme effect. So much for the one side, for which mankind, not to mention womankind, may take credit. The other side has to do witn automobiles. It is one of the unforeseen and as yet little-appreciated blessings of the gas engine. The automobile, by displacing the horse, has tremendously diminished the number of stables, and theerfore the number of manure piles, and thus deprived the fly of his favorite breeding places. For another thing, the promiscuous scattering about of oil, which is so often held against the automobile, has furthered the good work by killing billions of eggs or

CONVENTION CLOTHES. (New York World.) The Tribune's correspondent at San Francisco tells us tlfat the Republican delegates at Chicago were much better dressed than the Democratic delegates, and adds: "Seemingly, the average Democrat trades at those interesting shops where -you climb one flight of stairs and save $10." Democrats are notoriously poor but honest, and the saving of $10 is no mean consideration. The Republican delegates ought to have been well dressed. Look at the Wood campaign fund of more than $1,250,000. Look at the $100,000 with which Lowdcn capitalized his candidacy. Iok at the expenditures in behalf of Johnson, the friend of the proletariat. Chicago in convention week ought to have resembled an -aster parade on Fifth Avenue in the matler of ' gorgeousness of attire. But handsome is as nandsome does. The best dressed of all con- - n A

As a good deal has been said about . the Governor's (Governor Cox's) attitude toward prohibition it is interesting to recall that he was beaten by the saloon interests in 1914 because he enforced the Sunday closing law. He procured the law and enforced it and lost the election, but his pai-ty nominated him again and he was elected Philadelphia Record.
