Pre-convention utterances may
usually be classified rather careless
ly under the head of “political dope”
and thrown into the waste basket; but
occasionally it happens that such
deliverance, in the light of later
events assumes a significance that it
did hot have before. Of this nature
is a communication which appeared in
the New York Times of May 23, sign
ed by-James M. Cox. In this article
Governor Cox stated his position on
the issues of the campaign; and while
at that time, May 23, these views were
not highly important, the outcome of
events at San Francisco has now
changed the complexion of the situa-
tion entirely. It id interesting to
consider what Mr. Cox, the Democrat-
ic nominee for the presidency, had to
say when he was still merely a possi-
ble choke for the honor. His views
at that time, naturally, are his views
at present.

doubtful, indeed, even if France and ■ ^atson. former candidate for Presi-
England were able to mobilise their on the Populist ticket, has an-
fall military strength
the outstanding issue, the Leag-
ue of Nations, Governor Cox’s stand
is now fairly well known. Briefly, he
is for the covenant with two reserva-
tions; first, that the United States en-
ter the compact with the distinct un-
derstanding that Congress alone shall
say when we shall enter a war; and,
second, that it be understood by all
the nations that the league’s basic
purpose is peace and not controversy.
This position is strictly in line with
that expressed in the article we have
under consideration—which fact is
significant in that it shows that Mr.
Cox’s views are his o\#n. and are not,
as Senator Harding pas charged, a
forced inheritance from .the Wilsonian
wing of the party.
On the subject of State’s rights, j
Governor Cox says:
With our international affairs ad-
justed we should see to it that in the
working from a war to a peace base
powers conferred on the Federal Gov-
ernment in emergency should be giv-
en back. In our social and industrial
difficulties we are bound to be impress-
ed by the wisdom which guided our
futhers when they established an even-
balanped relation between the authori-
ty of the Federal and the State Gov-
ernments. There was a reason for
their proclaiming that all powers not
specifically delegated to the National
Government should be inherent with-
in the States."

Under the caption, "Toilers, sane
tify your votes," Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, in the leading editorial of
the August issue of the American
Federationist, calls upon working men
and women everywhere to unite in
defeating candidates who have shown
themselves hostile to organized labor.

on the railroad problem: "With thous-
ands of cars standing idle on the side-
tracks, it is hard for the railroads to
convince people that traffic conditions
arc due to a car shortage. The rail-
roads are asking for increased freight
rates, and when they get what they
want it will be found that there are
plenty of cars, and that there has nev-
er been any shortage—just as we
found there is plenty of sugar after
the profiteers got the price up where
they wanted ft."
Under the existing election laws
State officers are obliged to go home
to vote. They are thus put to con-
siderable expense, and the State loses
their services while they are away.
To correct this and other undesirable
effects of the present system the so-
called "absent voters' law" ought to'
be amended. Under this law as it
exists at present, no one can cast an
"absent” ballot unless he is at home
from three to ten days before the elec-
tion. The law might well he changed
so as to mftke it possible for absent
citizens to send home for il ballot to
be cast with their County Clerk Dal-
las News.
Pendulum Tells Sex of Eggs.
(Dallas News)
At a recent meeting of the Societe
Nationale d’Aeclimation in Paris an
interesting discussion took place on
the possibility of detecting the sex of
eggs. M. Lee For', announced that
this could be done with a pendulum, a
ball cf copper fastened to a copper
screw and hung to a chain of steel
that contained no nickel.
If thiy copper ball be held suspend-
ed ovet an egg, said M. Le Fort it
will, after a few seconds, begin OHeil-
latrng like the pendulum of a dock
if the egg contains tne germ of a roos-
ter; but it will describe circles in space
if the contained gem be of a hen.
M. Le Fort said he had tested this
many times and always with complete
success. Once he tried it on seven
eggs. The pendulum announced two
hens and two cocks and three doubt-
ful. The eggs were placed in an in-
cubator and produced two hens and
two cocks, while the three eggs did
not hatch, being unfertilized.

Nervous troubles, with backache,
dizzy spells, queer paius and irregular
kidneys, give reason to suspect kid-
ney weakness and to try the remedy
that has helped your neighbors.
Mrs. S. L. Harris, Coleman, says:
"1 was troubled with kidney com-
plaint for about five ‘years and at
times, was so bad off with the pains
in the small of my back, I would
turn from side to side, 1 was in such
misery and I became so nervous, 1
could hardly stand the least noise. My
kidneys acted much too often, but not
freely enough and I suffered a great
deal of pain. Doan's Kidney Pill's,
which I sent to Coulson’s Drug Store
for, soon took the pains out of my
back and regulated my kidneys in fine
shape. I was entirely cured of kid-
ney trouble and have been in fine
health ever since.’’
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pills--the same
that Mrs. Harris had. Foster-Mil-
