COMING HOME TO ROOST
i
The mendacity of Governor Cox in
making the charge that a huge slush
fund was being raised by the Re
publican party is now fully disclosed
by that staunch advocate of the Wil
son covenant and of the Democratic
ticket, the New York Times, in an
appeal for contributions to the Dem
ocratic fund. The Times laments the
fact that the charges of Governor Cox
have given wealthy Democrats an ex
cuse for withholding large contribu
tions. Prominent members of that
party have been reserved for the
grand touch, but now that there has
been so much loose talking about
donations they profess to fear the
publicity certain to follow.
The Times sees no reason why an
appeal for funds should not be made
openly in behalf of the Democratic
party. “It is nothing to be ashamed
of,” says that organ of Democracy.
‘Nobody helixes that either the Re
publicans or the Democrats are going
to make corrupt use of campaign
funds this year; that is, that money
is to be used for buying votes.”
That statement well expresses the
idea which the people have had all
along despite the charge made by
Governor Cox that the Republicans
purposed buying the presidency. Few
persons, if any, have believed Gov
ernor Coe and, if the truth were
known, lie has not believed himself.
His reckless talk about millions may
have served a temporary purpose of
detracting attention from the issues
in the campaign, but it also has giv
en the country a fairly accurate ^dea
of the calibre of the man indulging
in it.
If one may judge or the Democratic
needs by the urgency of the Times’
appeal, wealthy beneficiaries of the
Wilson administration, such as Ber
nard Baruch, Charles R. Crane, Hen
ry Morgenthau and others, have not
come through with their quotas. They
naturally shrink from publicity and
when approached by Mr. James W.
Gerard, the Democratic treasurer,
they gently, but firmly, freeze up.
It. is a development that was not
foreseen by the Democratic nominee
or his managers.
Possibly, if Governor Cox could let
go of his campaign fund chatter
gracefully, he would drop it. He is
like the luckless bear hunter who
seized his quarry by the tail and
called upon the world generally to
help him let go. Having begun a
campaign of mudslinging there ap
pears to be no place where he can
quit, and so he continues to cap one
extravagant and reckless statement
with another even wilder. It will
occur to many fairminded persons
that there is a sort of retributive jus
tice in the latest effect of his mali
cious disregard of the truth.—Ex.
Watermelons are so cheap in Texas >
that they use them for containers.
They extract the core, insert a quart
of booze and sell it for $20.
Uncle Sam has given authority to
the word “jazz.” One of the Wash
ington departments sets forth: :
“Pickles are the jazz element in the
culinary world.”
Word comes from Boston that a
commission will reset Plymouth Rock, !
but at this distance it isn’t clear1
whether they are talking about a hen
of that well known breed or the fa
mous boulder of Puritan fame.
ITp to date the Republican national
committee seems to have raised
enough campaign money to send two
circular letters to each voter of the
country. And Governor Cox talks
about “buying” the presidency with
it

Fishermen,

Residents of
Cordova:
Through your* efi or ts the Bureau of
Fisheries will hold a hearing at Cordova
to determine what steps, if any, are neces
sary to protect the red salmon of the Cop
per river from extinction.
It is up to you to see that any informa
tion showing the cause of the rapidly de
creasing salmon run or the depletion of
the spawning ground is brought before the
i
committee on the fifth of October.
Alaska was once the great breeding
ground of the sea otter.

How many of them are left?
Many canneries of Southeastern Alas
ka are falling into decay for lack of fish.
Do you want Cordova to be in a like
situation? Do you want your fishing fleet
and nets to rot in disuse?
This is your cause. A few sensible reg
ulations now will save a lot of sorrow in
/
future.
BREAKING AWAY FROM HABIT
Habit, the stern taskmaster, makes women old before their
time. Because of habit, we all do work that could be done as weii
and as cheaply by others.
Many woman have, their washing done at home because of *
habit—the old tradition that it can be done better and more cheaply
than in a modern laundry.
But facts are not in accord with this old belief. The scientific
manner m which clothes are now washed and sterilized in a mod
ern laundry such as ours, not only produces superior work, but
actually saves you money when time, material and fuel are con
sidered.
Every week, more women are deciding that “Sending it to
Jones” is the efficient way-breaking away from the old habit
of home washing, with its attendant backaches, worry and slush
and now devoting this time to reading, walking, shopping or sew
