SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1920 The Mothers of America Governor Cox waxed eloquent when he was informed of the action of the Tennessee legislature. "The civiliza- tion of the world has been saved," 'he exclaimed with proper regard for 'dramatic effect. "The mothers of 'America will stay the hand of war and repudiate those who traffic with a great principle." All of which sounds exceedingly well. It would have been more effective, however, had there been less indifference to what the mothers of America would or would not do a few short weeks ago. It is only since the Democratic nominee was impressed into the ser- vice of the League of Nations through the conference with the President, which brought about announcement of fidelity to the League as Mr. Wil- son conceived it, that Governor Cox evinced any particular concern for the mothers of America in a political way. Nobody believes for a moment that the United States of America could have been kept out of war by any means whatever in 1917 and so the women who voted for Mr. Wilson because he managed to keep a sort of peace between this country and Germany until after election are not disposed to feel that they were be- trayed in their trust, except as they were beguiled into thinking the im- possible should be made to happen if the majority of votes cast should be marked for Mr. Wilson. The women have voted once to be kept out of war and immediately were asked to give up their sons to fight for the cause of Democracy which was being threatened by the hand which had sunk the ship bearing American pas- sengers. They took that bait with- out examining it. They will not ac- 'cept another sentiment in the same unthinking manner. The mothers of America, as the mothers of every country, would stay the hand of war if they knew how to do it. They have learned, however, that it takes more than one man to maintain a state of peace, that election promises are empty words when they concern anything so big as war. They will have no way of knowing that Governor Cox, should he become President Cox, will be any more able to redeem a promise to bring the United States into a League of Nations that will do away with war than they had of knowing that the United States of America would be in arms, dedicated in all its resources to the European war, almost before the president whom they had chosen because he had been seated in the presidential chair for his second term. Nobody knows whether the League of Nations as it has been formulat- ed will keep us out of war of plunge us needlessly into it. It is this ques- tion concerning the working of the covenant that will bother the honest voter as it will harass the campaign speaker. The mothers of America will ask for more than the mere pro- test of the Democratic party leaders that the way to peace lies through a third democratic administration. They have tried that panacea and found it ineffective. They will make up their minds through other forms of reasoning in November of this year. Hanging Themselves With Their Own Rope The physicians who complain that it is the rich who get all the alcohol prescriptions are engaged in that pleasing pastime of giving themselves away. Instead of exciting sympathy for their unhappy situation with no prescription blank left with which to secure stimulant for life saving purposes, they simply arouse the feel- ing that they should be cared for by federal agents. No physician will say, if he has any regard for the truth, that he has more than one hundrad cases in which the administration of alcohol is an essential in the treatment. No physician, again if he has any regard for the truth, will say that he is hampered by the restriction placed upon him by the prohibition regula- tion unless he abuses the liberty given him in the purchase of alcohol in some form. Reputable men of the medical pro- fession agree that the administration of alcohol is, at best, doubtful in its effect. Most of them believe that as a drug it is non-essential, if not harmful. The doctors who are find- ing their hundred prescription blanks insufficient for their use are no doubt those who were inconvenienced in their practice by the limitations placed upon the use of habit form- ing drugs. They need make no ap- peal to public sentiment. SWEET SYMPATHY Boy Scout (to old lady)--May I ac- company you across the street mad- am? Old Lady--Certainly, sonny.

In 1906 he was elected to his present position as Recorder of Deeds and Registrar of Titles of Cook County, Illinois. As Recorder of Deeds and Registrar of Titles he instituted a merit system of appointments in both the Recorder's Office and Tor- rens Office whereoy efliciency is rec- ognized and stimulated. Loyal to every trust which he undertakes, he instills in the em- ployes under him a steadfast loyalty which makes for an ideal public service. The Chicago Bureau of Public Efficiency in making its last report to the judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County, recognized this fact and its director stated to the judges concerning the em- ployes of the Recorder's and Tor- rens Office that "all are enthus- iastic in trying to do their duty, and to give service." Being a real man among men, he delights to mingle with his fellow- men. He is a member of Kilwinning Lodge, No. S11, A. ¢. & A.

Every voter in Cook County ought to know their Re- corder of Deeds personally, and if they did, his re-election would be unanimous.
