JAMES MIDDLETON COX.
James Middleton Cox was three
times governor of Ohio—an honor
enjoyed by only one other Ohioan—
Rutherford B. Hayes.
Born on a farm, educated in the
public schools, a printer’s devil, a
school teacher, a newspaper report
er, a private secretary to a con
gressman, owner and manager of
two newspapers, member of Con'
gress for three years, and three
times governor of his state, is his
record to date.
Business success paralleled his po
litical achievements and through hi1)
own efforts Cox has amassed a for
tune. Mr. Cox became the leader
of the Democratic party in Ohio in
1912, when he was nominated for
governor. As one who had brough;
radical changes in the state constitu
tion, he took the field in its behalf.
His first term as governor was de
voted chiefly to forwarding the en-1
actment of laws to put the new
state constitution into effect.
But Ohio evidently was not pre
pared to assimilate all the new laws,
for Cox was defeated for re-elec
tion. But his party renominated
him in 1916 and he was re-elected
for a third term in 1918, being the
only Democrat to win in Ohio.
Legislation for which Governor
Cox is best known includes a model
I
workmen’s compensation law and a
child labor law which have been ex
tensively copied by other states.
Educators of the country say the
Ohio school code, enacted under
Governor Cox’s direction, will live as
a monument to his achievements.
Mr. Cox was born in Butler coun
ty, Ohio, in 1870. He attended dis
trict school and held his first posi
tion as a teacher of the school in
which he took his first lessons. He
spent evenings and holidays in a
printing office. In a few years he
received his first assignment on the
reportorial staff of the Cincinnati
Enquirer.
After ten years with the Enquir
er, he went to Washington as pri
vate secretary to Congressman Paul
Sore of Ohio. At the close of this
service, he purchased the Dayton
Daily News, borrowing most of the
money to pay for it. Later he pur
chased the Springfield Daily News.
He was first elected to Congress in
1908.
He recently purchased the farm
near Jaeksonburg upon which he was
born, and is making it into a mod
ern farm home, where he expects to
live on retirement from public of
fice. He is married and has four
children.
1920 PROSPERITY.
Just a little substantial boosting
and financial encouragement would
advance the 1920 season in Alaska
on the road to the greatest in many
years. The former Alaskans now
in Seattle, says the Seattle Alaska
Dispatch, should adopt a more lib
eral policy in financing Northern
projects. It is true many of these
projects are speculative, but when
it is taken under consideration the
thousands of dollars now being spec
ulated from Seattle in oil schemes,
it seems as if there should be money
in plenty to finance Alaska “projects.

SAN ANGELO. Tex.—Solid train
loads of well-conditioned cattle have
almost daily been leaving points in
| West Texas over the “-biota Fe,
Orient, and Texas ft Paci'tc rail
! roads for native pastures in the
Northwest. They are from among
the 175,000 or 200,000 animals that
were brought into Texas last au
tumn when a drouth laid its wither
ing hand upon Wyoming, Montana,
I Idaho, Nebraska and neighboring
; states, and caused a failure of sum
,mer feed crops upon which the
herds depended for sustenance dur
ing the winter.
This recalls the movement of cat
tle from Texas into the Northwest
under very similar conditions during
1016, 1917 and 1918. when Texas
was drouth-stricken, and the coun
try which Texas served during the
past winter offered hospitable pas
tures to starving Texas cattle.
