COX VISITS SCENES OF EARLY BOYHOOD Pilots Visiting Newspaper Men To Jacksonburg.?Makes Talk At Ohio Golf Association. Dayton, 0., July 8.?Governor Cox after working for a few hours in his newspaper office today, expects to pilot a number of visiting newspaper representatives about home and haunts of his early boyhood at Jacksonburg, Ohio. The trip will be made by automobile. It now is expected that when Frank-, lin D. Roosevelt, Governor Cox's run-, ning mate, arrives from San Francisco, ensuing conferences will re-( suit in more than the mere exchange ^ of felicitations. Homer S. Cummings( chairman of the Democratic National committee, E. H. Moore of Youngstown, the governor's pre-convention campaign manager, and a number of. ntlipr nnrtv leaders are expected to' participate. It is understood to be prooable that phrases of the campaign may be discussed, especially plans for the offic-J ial notification. / / ! Dayton citizens are apprehensive that efforts may be made to have the notification ceremonies take place in, Columbus and they are prepared to go the limit, if necessary, so nullify, such an arrangement. From present indications, the notification ceremo-. nies probably will take place at Trail's End, the governor's suburban home, where several thousand people gathered two weeks before his nomination to celebrate with him the occasion of the departure of the Ohio delegation for San Francisco. The governor last night made his' second public address since his nomination, at the Dayton Country Club, where a dinner was given in his honor by the Ohio Golf Association. Governor Cox is an enthusiastic golfer and his address was chiefly an^ intimate talk with the members on^ the merits of this outdoor sport. He. also spQke in cordial terms of his re-J publican opponent, Senator Harding who also is a devotee" of the game. He declared that regardless or the re-J suits of the election, he and Senator^ Harding will remain the same splendid friends as in the past. } | I EVERY COUNTY WON CASE AGAINST EXPRESS CO. x Columbia, July 10.?Every county in South Carolina is the winner in a 1 case just decided by the state supreme court, that of the Southern Express company against P B. Spigner,1 of Columbia. A similar case was brought in every county in the state but the Columbia case, against the Richland county treasurer, was tried as a test case. Its outcome decides as similar case in every county in the state. The case was brought vy the express company against tiie counties for the recovery of license tax money paid under protest during the war. As there mas a case in every county, thus making it a state case, the attorney general's office represented the state. The Richland county test case was decided against the express company, and appeal was tajcen to the supreme court.

ROBBING AGRICULTURE IS NATIONAL SUICIDE i In our last issue of April 8 we ' published an editorial entitled "The Nation Needs An Agricultural Policy." Immediately we began to . receive letters from various editors of farm papers and others, all en- 5 dorsing the editorial, but many of < them on the other hand, calling our t attention to an article by Herbert i Hoover in The Country Gentleman < of April 10, in which he discussed fiio onrrionlfiirol cifiiafiAn anrl ngiivuibuiui k?i;uwwiVii) uiiu UV/ daring that Mr. Hoover met the re- < quirements as stated by us. "We hope no man will be elected to the ( Presidency," we said, "whose heart 1 and mind are not devoted to ' the '< improvement of the farmers' condition." The trick of fooling farmers has been a favorite one in Washington for years. It has been the habit to group a lot of bureaus which have no more to do with farming than they have with manufacturing and then point with pride to the gross millions appropriated for the Agricultural Department. It has all been a camouflage to make the farmers feel that they were being treated liberally, whereas, as a matter of fact, they were being treated wi+Vi ovfromo cfincri'nocic For yveeks before Congress adjourned Secretary of Agriculture Meredith waged a terrific battle to prevent the cutting of his meager estimates. If there had ever been an opportunity for those who in all sincerity want agriculture to progress to show their colors fend fight while the fighting was good, then was the time. Then was, the time, indeed, for a voice to cry * from the wilderness and make itself heard. But we can find no record that Mr. Hoover who was so eloqunt in The Country Gentleman, was sufficiently interested to speak a word when a word would have acom.. . . ? i.. i plished s&mething. No, nor did one single other man of those then pressing their claims for recognition at Chicago deem it either a privilege or a duty to throw the weightof "hbinfluence into the scaleljl-THiey were^all so busy playing politics that they did not have time to see to it that agriculture got a fair deal in Washington. Secretary Meredith has literally begged Congress to abandon Congressional free-seed distribution and premit him to use the money? a quarter of a million?"for necessary and important activities bearing on agricultural production," but though the Senate listened to him, the House insisted that the freeseed policy continue. It docs no good to condemn Congress in general. Votes on an agricultural matter are a local ' issue. livery miming cumiuuuii.) m who country ought to find out how its particular Representative voted on this plan to hamstring the Agricultural Department. Every community should demand an explanation. Representatives must be held individually responsible. It may be that the Department of Agriculture is not^ the efficient instrument that it should be, but it is probably as efficient as other departments. Moreover, the cure of inefficiency would not be starvation. You cannot win 1 the faith of the farmer in Government when Government expends millions for "industry," but begrudges every dollar that is approipriated to improve agricultural : conditions. I I This cavalier treatment of what | is in fact the greatest industry in | the nation ds not merely criminal? | it is national suicide. Already food conditions are so menacing that the President has been solicited to issue a general statement to the public calling for frugal use of foods. Saving a million or two now at the cost of the farms in order to make a political' showing of economy will mean the payment later on of ten times as many millions in excessive food prices. They have hoarded pennies for which repayment must be made in dollars. If that is economy then let us have done with it forever.?Manufacturers Record.
