IT’S COX—AND A WINNER
Governor James M. Cox, of Ohio, was nominated for president
of the United States in the early hours of this morning by the Dem
ocratic National convention. It was a great battle and a long battle,
44 ballots being required for a decision. But it was worth it. The
delegates who stood so valiantly behind the Ohioan during all the
gruelling hours, when all seemed hopeless, did the party a real ser
vice, for in the final naming of Cox, in our opinion and the opinion
of a great many others, the strongest man was chosen to lead the
party this fall. And it was necessary that the very strongest man be
named. With Cox as the nominee, standing on the adi*iira(ble plat
form adopted by the convetion, victory this fall emerges from a
doubtful hope to a probability—and a certainty if the most is made
of the opportunity by the leaders.
The failure of McAdoo to win is a source of keen disappoint
ment to thousands of Democrats. But it cannot be escaped that
President Wilson has many bitter enemies who would have been in
herited in a more or less large measure by Mr. McAdoo, regardless
of his great ability or fitness for the presidency.
Governor Cox combines many important elements of strength
as the party standard bearer. Opposing Senator Harding, another
Ohioan, he offers the party its only probabitly of winning Ohio, an
important presidential election state. He is a man of the popular
type—a man who has done things for the people of his state, and
may be depended upon to draw great support from the masses as
opposed to Harding, a candiidate of reaction and bossism.
The fight on Cox by Bryan and other radical drys will probably
quickly disappear. Cox is not wet in the sense that many people be
lieve. While liberal minded, he is for law enforcement, and has in
dicated that since people have enacted dry laws it is his duty as an
executive to enforce them—and he has done so. When he came into
office he found a Sunday closing law, which, with the help of a new
license measure, he enforced. Even his enemies concede this. His
whole idea, as he has expressed himself recently, has been to give
the people what they want.
It is the duty of every Democrat to get behind Cox to the limit
and put him in the White House.
THE LIPSTICK WAR
Are men responsible for the use of paint, powder, lipsticks and
cosmetics by women?
The state superintendent of the Women’s Christian Temperance
Union of New York, Mrs. George F. Pashley, says girls use the lip
stick and other facial adornments because they think men admire
that type of girl. She adds that the girls are wrong in this belief. She
wants to enlist men in a campaign against the practice.
It is to be feared that she will not get the support that she ex
pects. If the use of cosmetics is growing, as Mrs. Pashley says it is,
there is a reason. The use of the lipstick and its accessories can have
only one reason. That reason is the attraction of the opposite sex.
Rouge and powder are feminine bait for male eyes.
It is because men have.given women reason to think, at least,
that they like the girl who uses artificial beautifiers, that women do
use them.
For thousands of generations man has indicated to woman that
her role in life is to be attractive. She has been denied any place
in life except that of a parasite—married or unman ied—except when
by her own efforts, she broke a hole in the wall of convention and
made away for herself first into one field of human endeavor and
then into another. Man was horrified when woman first demanded
the right to be educated. He has continued to be horrified right up to
the: present moment when there are still governors of states so ob
stinate that they think they can prevent the enactment of woman suf
frage. Whatever has been done to lift womankind from the plane of
a parasitic creature has been largely done by woman herself.
She will get no encouragement from ftiankind in general in a war
on the lipstick. If it is to be abolished, woman will do it herself.
MEETING THE DEMAND
The downward trend of prices is encouraging to the small purse,
pleasing to the man who feels he ought to get I 00 cents for his dollar.
Even former extravagant buyers are glad their spree of spending is
over.
But there is fear that the pendulum may swing to the opposite
extreme, fully as bad for the public as reckless spending. This would,
of course, end in huge over-production, unemployment, bankruptcy,
and the bread line. The thing to do, as the Journal of Commerce.
New York points out, is—
The demand of the public should be promptly met with mod
erate reduction of price levels and encouragement be given to buy
but to buy normally and steadily and with judgment.”
Re-enactment of the law of supply and ’demand is needed—
badly. Prices of the recent past have been figured on the visible
supply and joy-riding demand. That the nation is by this period is
evidenced by the widespread price cutting movements in retail trade.
Wearing apparel rapidly is getting down to the real supply and nor
mal demand basis. Ending the car shortage will bring food and fuel
to the same basis. What already has been done in house building
spells the finish in rent gouging and feverish speculation in dwellings.
All in all, it looks as though the profiteer had had his day.
And so 1 larding is to interpret the platform in his speech of ac
ceptance. It’s a big job to handle in one short speech.
The number of U. S. clerks was reduced 281 in May. This will
seem encouraging to one who can look at a grain of sand and visual
ize a mountain.
Johnson says delegates who deserted him are scoundrels. Such
unusual restraint and delicacy of expression would lend dignity to the
L White House.

1 “IX/HERE will I spend my vaca
"tion?” is the popular question
under the public’s Panama. In order
to lighten the thinking of many of
i my customers I have doped up a flock
of vacation suggestions, and the one
that hitches* with your fancy and
purse, mark off with a hemstitched
X.
The way to pick out a vacation is
( to go at it systematically. Study out
the features that would be totally
’ different from your daily routine,
1 such as exertion, comfort and appe
i tite. F’rinstance, there’s camping.
: With camping, there’s little exertion
and less comfort, but your appetite
, outgrows your napkin, and you don’t
get enough to eat until you get home.

Who’s Cox? This Tells
James Middleton Cox was three'
times governor of Ohio—an honor
enjoyed by only one other Ohioan
Rutherford B. Hays.
Born on a farm, educated in the
public schools, a printer’s devil a
school teacher, a newspaper reporter
a private secretary to a congress
man, owner, manager and
of two newspapers, member of con
gress for thre years and three times
governor of his state is his record to
date.
Business success parallelled his po
litical achievements and through his
own eforts Cox has amassed a for
tune. Mr. Cox became the leader of
the Democratic party in Ohio in 1912
when he was nominated for govern
or. As one who had brought radical
changes in the state constitution, he
'took the field himself in its behalf
His first term as governor was de
voted chiefly to forwarding the enact
ment of laws to put the new state
constitution into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not prepar
ed to assimilate all the new laws for
Cox was defeated for re-election. But
Kis party renominated him in 1916
and he was re-elected for a third
term in 1918, being the only Demo
crat in Ohio to win.

Legislation for which Governor
• Cox is best known includes a model
■ workmen’s compensation law and a
i child labor law which have been ex
pensively copied by other states. Ed
; ucators of the country say the Ohio
; school Code enacted under Governor
i Cox’s direction will live as a monu
,! ment to his achievements.
Mr. Cox was born in Butler coun
ty, Ohio, in 1870. He attended dis
i trict school and held his first position
as a teacher of the school in which
h etook his first lessons. He spent
i evenings and holidays in a printing
office. In a few years he received
> his first assignment on the reportor
. ial staff of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
After 10 years with the Enquirer
he went to Washington as a private
' secretary to Congressman Paul Sore
of Ohio. At the close of this ser
. vice, he purchased the Dayton Daily
. News, borrowing most of the money
, to pay for it. Later hepurchased the
Springfield DOaily News. He was
. first elected to Congress in 1908.
He recently purchased the farm
near Jacksonburg upon which he was
; born, and is making it into a modern
I afrm home where he expects to live
. on retirement from public office. He
is married and has four children.
