"DUSTY FILES!" YE GODS! ANTI-MUD CAMPAIGN NOT MEANT FOR THE G. O. P. Quire expected ihr republican y)lra for a r.impain "f r r front mud" niant only a rampaign "free from mud'' -n tho p irt of th-. dfi.iotTats; that I."'. fr(- from "mud" thrown ;it th repuldirnns. It Is fvrr thus. Kv ry ramp.iin brings that jdea from th ripuldirans and ihn forthwith thry ocpin "rnud-iili:ii:ir:K" a:i though it win: thir -x-clu?ivc riiht; b at always with tb-ir harul out, palm foremost, and the exclamation. "Ion't tread on Tho, rntjon-wldo common! through th ropublifan prcs. on th( -xposuro. or allc! rxpOftiro, by "Aytute" Munoy's "Sun -iml Hcral;!," of New York, of certain edit'rial.- appenring in one of Gov. Cox's nwsparcrs back in 1 1 -1 6 that did not agree with tepnbllcan contentions of that timr branding them pro-German for that reason, i. in point. The comment without setting forth the editorials coramontfd upon, asking readers to assume that there is ground for the comment, is what puts the ' .vluh" Into the "mud." All that th- country in general knows i3 that "Astute" Mumey Ls said to have exposed fomethlng. lie didn't, however. Tie Ins merely brought out that back in 1 IH 5 and 1 f 1 . Gov. Cox's paper contended that the sinking of the Ijsitania did not, under the circumstances, justify th United States in ßing to war with Germany, and he criticised England's rifling of our mail.4-, and her capture of cur merchant shipping, maintaining that the whole sea fracas of that time wa.s a case of "dog eat dog." It i? too bad that a newspaper in a nation srjpposed to be neutral at that time, should have an ot inion rontrary to those of th- republican clip-trap manufacturers, who wanted war in order that they could make it a campaign Issue. Had the TV.ltcd States gone to war over the L.usltania in the republican slogan in 1316 would have been "he got us into war," instead of the democratic flogan being, "he kept us out of war." Brighter men than "Astute" Munsey, or any of the "mud-slincing" editors now re-echoing his asininity, agreed with the president that the Lusitania case did not in Itself constitute sufficient ground for suri ende ring our neutrality, and never throughout the whole campaign was anyone able to elicit from th" republican nominee, that he would have advised war at that time. His egotism ran rather to the contention that had he been president the Iusitania would not have Won sun;, and Theodore Roosevelt was plump cert. "in that he could have mapped his fincer and stoppe. 1 it, had his 1912 ambitions materialized, but again. l;oo?evelt would not fay that he would have sor.o to war over the affair as It was. So ther you hac it. Wilson didn't r lunge the country Into war either and the country approved his course, wherefore the ox editorials mils': have been in line with the major public opinion. Indeed, tho criticim of Mr. Cox. because of those editorial?, whether he wrote them or whether he didn't, is too imrudrntly silly for svrious consideration; or rather, would be but for this: "Raining the question cf the editorial policy of Gov. Cox's paper, the IXayton. O., News, in 1915 and 1916 ou;ht to have a tonic effect on pom of the weak sisters of journalism that cannot make up their minds about anything and lack the courage essential to an independent newspaper. There will be a deal of delving into dusty files to see what was said about this And that matter and to find out how much real courage was regtstered in those days when fome Journals thoupht it better to be expedient than to be rUhi." It 1 from our own dear contemporary, and yes. it started us to thinking of ether "dusty files-" than those of the- Cox dailU indeed, causing us to refect upon th'. conduct of another newspaper, not before the war. but when It was at its height. "Tp hell with the. United States," said a virulent pro-German, refusing to "kirk in" on th fourth Liberty loan, and when the front of his establishment w as pair.te J yellow for his r. ar-treas-on. we know of a newspaper, now ery critical of the Cox papers, who rushed to the rescue cf this consigner cf the United State to perdition, and condemned th tatrioti who resented it as rowdies and thugs. Did the editor of that paper feel toward tho Unltfd Staif the same as the man to vhose rescue he went? Ht may have bem merely o.-e because the morning paper got It first. Ho used to withhold publicity from the Liberty loan cause for that reason. It all runs along in a groove cf his size. There were a number of things that happened, not previous to the war, but right in the midst of it that this hyperergic of Mr. Cox miht do well not to suggest "delving into duty files" for. The Cox editorials were not pro-German, nor oven suggestive of pro-Gf rmanism. hut fven had they been, i-n American had as much right to bo pro-Gern.aa mm to Le pro-Ally i:x the dajs of our

neutrality. The Cox editorials were merely at variance with the pro-war republicans of that hour, wanting war. not because they wanted war. but Prrausc they wanted something to find fault with the 'ilon admlni.-tration dr. He peemed to folI' v.- the thought of the administration, and therefore, of course, to the chronic Wilson hater, it was at least un-Anu rlc.in. And furthermore Mr. Cox. when the war did come, left no stone unturned, either as governor or editor, or publisher, to help win it; a fight which he is continuing now to the end that the ideals for which America fought may not be Kwampel. guttered and discarded at the behest of republican "copperheads." Perhaps a few things might be said too about Mr. Harding if one were disposed to dig them up. If. after crying for a clean campaign, the republicans really mean that it shall be clean on the part 'f the democrats only, while they with-a some sort of "holier than thou" air proceed to violate it at e very turn, maybe it is a game that two can play at. Of course, with no issues, save manufactured ones, it may be expected that they will have to resort to something of that kind, manufacturing it even as they have manufactured their issues, but "mud" becomes mere "dirt" when the juice is squeezed out, and dirt flies and sometimes into the very eyes of those who spread it. "Dusty files!"

Other Editois Than Ours

AN IIONKST NON-IWUTISAX VIRW OF TWO PLATI'OHMS OX LEAGUE. (Tort Wayne Journal-Gazette.) Th Christian Work is the most famous interchurch periodical published in this country and it apr roaches public problems from tho moral point of view. Its editor is a republican and this makes all the more impressive hLs analysis of the two platforms on the League of tions. In view of the disgusting twaddle with which Mr. Taft is trying to convince supporters of the league that the Chicago platform declared for something that it expressly declared against r.fter a struggle. The Christian Work's analysis of the meaning of the republican plank Is most important and will make an impression on all who are anxious to get a nonpartisan view of what .has really happened. Here follows the editor's comment on the republican platform: "This action was a great surprise even to most republicans-. Tho disappointment is re-fb-cted throughout the press of the nation. It had been hoped by most republicans that the convention would have endorsed the league with Sen. Lodge's reservations, or similar ones. Hut Sens. Johnson and Borah, the leader: of the bitter-enders, carried the day and Sen. Lodge joined them in putting the party unepialifiedly against the league. Mr. Johnson rightly claims it as his victory. The New York Tribune still thinks that the plank leaves room for a candidate who believes in the United States entering the league with reservations to urge the ratification of the present treaty. Hut this is only born of disappointment a forlorn grasp at something to save the situation. A cursory reading of the plank settles the matter. While the plank pluses the United States to be ready to serve humanity when the call comes (always the United States shall be judge as to whether it Is a call or not), it explicitly and violently condemns the present league bag and baggage and says absolutely nothing about our joining the league even with the ftiffest reservations or amendments. And yet the statement is almost word for word that used by the advocates of a league long before the present war. The statesmen interested in fulfilling this ideal -most of those from America eminent republicans, such men as Mr. Taft, Mr. Marburg, Dr. Lowell and Mr. Holt got together in 1914. American, British and French being in harmony on the fundamental things, and wrote a constitution of a League of Nations, embodying the aspirations cf the peoples which were rising everywhere. As we said, these aspirations were just those in the republican plank. The league as framed by these men met with general approval from all the world. The republican leaders praised it. The Paris league is i raeticallv the same1 league, only it is not epiite so radical. But it is the best league possible for a beginning and is just what the republicans ask for in their plank. And it is the only possible wav of getting jun those things demanded in the first paragraph. There is not the slightest doubt in any Impartial mind that had not Mr. Wilson advocated it and signed it. it would have been perfectly satisfactory to most of the republican leaders, to whom it was satisfactory before the war." There is' not a single word here that is not absolutely true and beyond dispute. It is a elamning indictment and deserved. The Chicago platform dictated by Hiram Johnson is against any League of Nations. lie made his fight against "any League of Nations, with or without reservations" and every paper in the United States, the Associated Press, the United Press, and every solitary correspondent writing for any paper all proclaimed after the adoption of the platform that "Johnson Triumphs." It requires something of audacity even for Mr. Taft to attempt a denial of the record which is spread out in plain English for any intelligent man to read and understand. Turning now to this republican editor's discussion of the democratic eleclaration on the platform we find: "The paragraph containing the positive stand on immediate ratification expresses the view, we believe, of the vast majority of the people of the United States, both republicans and democrats. It simply calls for the United States to do what practically all the nations in the world are doing (32 nations are now in the league and Germany will probably be in before the year is up), join the new family of nations that has com', irresistibly and inevitably as the logical outcome of a war that has done the world nearly to death the family of nations which promises to adjust its own disputes amicably, set up a. supreme court of nations, curb the criminal nation in any attempt to take jus-tico into his own hands, attempt gradual disarmament, and put the common welfare of humanity above national ambitions. And in this demand it plainly states the willingness for such reservations as may not impair our functioning as a world power In Jhe great family of nations. Here is the Issue now before the country plainly stated either this or selfish isolation. We advocate the Immediate ratification of the treaty without reservations which would impair its essential integrity, but do not oppose the acceptance of any reservations making clearer or more specific the obligations of the United States to the league associates Only by doing this may we hope to aid effectively in the restoration of order throughout the world and to take the place which we should as.ume In the front rank of spiritual, commercial and industrial advancement." Here is at le-ist one honest, non-partisan, discussion of the meaning of the two platforms on the League of Nations. It is written In the greatest religious paper of an intr-church character published in America an t by an editor who is a retublican in politic.

More Truth Than Poetry

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

THi: DIFFERENCE. When beer was five a glass And whisky ten a drink. When topers we would pass We usually would think: "Though lots of fun they had In yonder corner bar, It really is too bad. Poor drunkards that they are." But whisky sells today At twenty-five a quart, And stowing it away Is an expensive sport. While beer cannot be had For any sort of pelf Except the very bad Home-brew you make yourself. And those who have a store. Beneath the cellar stair. Are getting more and more Disposed to keep it there. A miser and his gold Are easier to part Than those who have and hold The makings of a stact. And when a topser now We pass upon the street. With an uncertain brow And more uncertain feet.

Who goes upon his way In sodden stupor sunk. We look at him and say: "He must be rich he's drunk!" (Copyright, 1120.)

The Horoscope

SUNDAY AND MONDAY,

JULY 25.26. Sunday's sideral figure points to a lively and interesting day. It is a good time to ask favors and to deal with superiors. Honors and preferment are indicated. It is a fortunate day. exceptT;ig for removal or traveling. Tho?c whose birthday it is have the promise of a fortunate year, with honors or promotion. Do not move or travel. A child born on this dav will be fortunate and will rise in "life. Monday promises to be a rather quiet day, with social interests taking precedence over business-, which is under an adverse Mercury and a malefic Saturn, threatening delays and disappointments. Also there is danger from deceit and false acquaintances. Those in employment should be careful. Those whose birthday it is have the prophecy of a quiet year, although they will find social, domestic and affectional affairs pleasant and prosperous. A child born on this day will he popular, lovable and interesting. possibly owing to a poetic or psychic nature.

MURIEL. The quaintly demure Muriel is one of the oldest tnd most beloved of English names. Its earliest form, Meriel. is still in common usage abroad. It signifies "myrrh." the precious perfume eif early Biblical days and a special reverence attaches to the name, since myrrh was one of the gifts brought by tho Wise Men to tho new-born babe n the manger at Bethlehem. Seldom in the history of etymology, has a name preserved its original identity so faithfully as Muriel. It has suffered no change, since Merial was first taken from the Greek word meaning myrrh. Nor did it leave its native heath to undergo transformation by .another language. No other country has an equivalent, even America transported it intact. The moonstone is Muriel's talismanic gem. According to an old legend, it will endow her with Jhr purity and beauty of the moonbeams which the ancients believed were imprisoned in the stone. It is likewise said to give her the gift of prophetic vision whereby she may read the future. Sunday is her lucky day and 2 her lucky number. The cornflower is her special bloom. (Copyright. 1920.)
