' AN INDEPENDENT VIEW The Indianapolis News, an independent republican -paper but a consistent - advocate of the Wilson peace treaty and the league of nations, has the fairest and most comprehensive comment of the News is worthy of a ceptance address of Gov. Cox the Banner has thus far read. The editorial comment of the eNws is worthy of a careful perusal by all who feel an ininterest in the campaign. It follows in full : ,

“In his speech of Saturday, accepting the Democratic nomination for the presidency, Governor Cox said: "We are in a time that calls for straight thinking, =~ straight talking = and straight acting This is no time for wabbling.” The candidaté entirely met these demands; for his speech is a clear and forceful discussion of the issues, snd goes straight to the point. It will give the impression, which will be widely shared, that Governor Cox is a more capable man than had been supposed—a man of good intelligence, decision and the courage of his convictions. Most of what he says_on the many subjects now uppermost in ‘men’s mind is wise, and also well put. On the auestion of taxation and expenditures he speaks clearly favoring a reduction of burdensome ‘taxation, the -substitution of a small production tax for the crippling taxes now imposed, and such economy—which he thinks easily possible—as will reduce our expenditures to $4,000,000,000, including the sinking fund and interest: The author of the budget plan in Ohio, what he says on this subject has special significance and weight. As President his inflaence would be used to introduce this much needed feature in our national finances. - “His attitude toward the differences between labor and capital is the same as that held by him as Governor. His ‘methods have worked well, and have provéd him to be a fair man. He Freeognh.es the need for further legislation to define the rights of both labor and capital in collective action. On the very important question of freedom of speech he is entirely sane. and would do away" with all wartime rutflédous—wl\lhout, however, giving an inch of ground to the enemies of the government. His program for agriculture is exténsive progressive, and yet in- no sense radical. The .improvement of marketing methods, the regulation of ¢old storage, the utilization of the practical experience of farmers on government boards in the same way that. business men have been called to such boards—such are some of the features of the program He would do wha: he coald ‘o Jaiscourage tenant farming, 1o stitulate individual ownership for the purpose of increasing independent citizenship, ot increase the area of ti'lable land, and to improve transportion facilities. iy : ; 2

“In a thoroughly practical way the Governor discusses the educational needs of the country, and the ways in which to meet them. The women, he thinks, have earned the franchise by their services during the war, and on this subject he speaks with the earnestness of a sincere believer in the cause. He takes rather more credit to his party for the federal reserve system than it is fairly entitled to, since most of the machinery was taken bodily from the Aldrich report. However, the Democrats did put the thing through, and can claim the credit for .the regional feature, the effect of which has been ko distribute the. power of the org tion. Bankers hold that this has also resulted in a loss of efficiency and an over{xpansion of credit. The law has, owever, worked well in the maiun. How our great merchant ‘marine, in which the Governor takes . proper pride, will stand the test of time and competition, is yet to be seen. The candidate dissents strongly from Senator Harding's theory that party government should be paramount to individual responsibility to the people without distinction of party, which, he insists, was not the doctrine of

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the forerunners of the two dominating organizations. Governor Cox says: : X

“There is, and always will be, a useful place for parties in the conduct of a free government; but any theory of a “government by party,” which must weaken this solemn, sense of personal responsibility, or alter it toward party or faction, merely will accentuate the possible evils of party and thwart its possible advantages. “But of course the great issue is the league of nations, and here the speech is clear and easily understood.

Deémocratic candidate stands. His powned by recent primaries in the midsupporters of the league, either with Cox is less uncompromising than President Wilson, and s clearly of be bound for the two classes of supporters of the league of peace. One can imagine that if he had been In the White House while the treaty was under consideration in the senate the United States would be a ‘member of the league today and that the frightful. confusion and strife that have burst on Europe might ‘have been avoided through the great presitge America would have brought to the league of nations As it is, the defeated nations and the ‘Russiaps arc led to believe that we are not at heart in sympathy with ‘the purposes of the leapue, and ‘therefore that (here is amp'c opportunity for tiring Europe out by continuing the disturbed conditions until advantageous concessions may be Tprocurod_ o - “Governor Cox very naturally takes advantage of the ~onfusion in the position of the Republican candidate cu this. subject, g 8 shown by his former votes in favor of the league with reservations, and his présent policy of repudiation and abjurement with ‘Borah and Johnson. How this government would be dishonored by a desertion of our allies—as even Senator Lodge once said—through Senator Harding's separate peace with Germany; the humilation to owj;sold{ers who fought side by side w ige_allies under.a common leaderand to the multitude of war workers of all kinds who made such wonderful sacrifices—all this is strikingly put as is the futility of the present Harding program. Emphasis is placed on the confusion throughout Europe that would necessarily follow the opening up, under the Harding plan, of the settlement of boundaries and other questions. As a result of it all, Gov ernor- Cox has rightly reached the conclusion that a verdict at the polls this fall can not but be followed by an agreement between the President and the senate for the ratification of the treaty. He makes it clear that he has no objection to reservations that do not destroy the fundamental principles of the treaty, and that his relation with "the senate, if he is elected, can safely be assumed to be one inviting a fair adjustment of differences. :

“One of the best things in the speech is the denunciation of the dastardly effort of many politicians to belittle, and even ignore, the achievements of American in the war meerly to feed fa: ‘ an enmity toward Woodrow Wilson. The speech closes with the fine appeal to the moral instincts of the voters not to be swayed by temporary inconveniences and annoyances, the results of the war, but rather to be true to those~ ethical standards which have heretofore distinguished us among ali peoples.” i dan : PLEA FOR WEED CUTTING . Wayne Summers Advises Farmers to Get Busy Before Weeds Go to T g : ~ Wayne Summers district state highway superintendent in charge of road improvements in Noble, LaGrange ‘Steuben and DeKalb counties, is making a striking appeal to all farmers of this district in an effort to have weeds cut along the public highways wh'ch will pot only be advantageous to the farmer but those traveling the public highway as well. :

~ “Now is the time to cut weeds, just before they go to seed,” says Supt. Summers, to the Kendallville News sun, “and if the weeds are not cut within the next few weeks, they will bave gone to seed and the heavy rains wash this seed into the farmer’s fields, thus causing him extra labor the following spring to free his crops ot obnoxious weeds. If these weeds are cut systematically for a period of two to three years they will be eventually crowded out by the blue grass which is neither obnoxious nor unsightly.”

_ May Establish Market. The State Federation of Farmers organization held a good meeting in Indianapolis recently. The question of - establishing a bureau of markets as a new department for the Federation was left to the judgment of the executive: comittee to go over the tentative plans ‘thoroughly, chécking up approximate costs, and if it is found expedient at this time and can be properly financed the new department will become a part of the state organization. hganyl of the directors were of the opirion that such a bureau would be’of immense value to the various county Taming of the Bull. + The Guernsey bull of L. BE. Wicker, Elkhart county farmer, broke through a fgnce into a neighbor's barn yard Knowing the bull to be c¢ross, Wicker armed himself with a pitchford and mounted a saddle horse. The bull went aloiig amiably for a time, when be suddenly turned and charged at the horse. The rider plunged the fork into the infuriated bull but was un seated and the horse thrown. When the horse regained its feet it kicked the bull repeatedly and assited in this way in helping Wicker:cage the

The Most Welcome Tire % That Ever Came to Market Men Who Appreciate Superlative Values Prefer The Brunswick

In every great tire factory, the chief question is: “How much can we give for the money?” And the product depends on the policy adopted. . ’ Every man who has become acquainted with Brunswick Tires knows that Brunswick standards are again evident. This famous concern—noted as a leader in every line it entered since 1845 — has once more proved that its policy is right. A perfect tire is simply a matter of knowledge and standards and skill. No secrets nor patents prevent making an ideal tire. =

But standards come first. For in tire making -there is vast room for skimping, for subtle economies, for hidden shortcomings. Makers without the highest standards don’t build high-grade tjres. The Brunswick organization of tire makers includes a brilliant staff of technical experts. Not a man
