Seeing It Dangerous.
A Dying Dinosaur.
No Modern Cromwell.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE?
(Copyright. IU? >
Mr. Cox Mi?l the Republicans
*rrt trying to collect fifteen million
dollar*, "to buy the country " _
That would be fifteen cente api*ee
for each inhabitant of the country.
That didnt cause much excitement.
Now Mr. Cox say* the Republicans
re raining a fund of thirty million
dollars, double the firat
amount. Perhaps that alarming I
statement will be more effective. I
Meanwhile Democrats are put- _
1 tied about their own campaign .
t fund. Money by popular sub- 1
acription doesnt seem to come in I
very fast. No great enthusiasm |
about financing the war League
of Nations. The saddest part is
this: Ordinarily big corporations
give on both sides, feeling that
cither side msy win.
But this time the dullest corporation
gentleman knows well
that Cox i? beuten and says to q
himself: "What's the use of helping
to finance a dead one?" That
makes the Democratic moneyraising
campaign harder, and any
sympathy you have to spare
should go to Mr. White, who must
do the money raising.
, C
Max Rabinowitt, of New York, ^
dealt in furs and Liberty bonds. As j
an advertisement he displayed day c
after day a thousand-dollar Lib- j(
erty bond in his window. Harry
^ Van Reed murdered Rabinowitt,
wounded his wife, trying to get p
the one-thousand-dollar bond. He >"i
failed. Passing the window, seeing
the bond day after day, he ci
made up his mind to get it.
It is dangerous to expos*1 meat h
within reach of a hungry dog.
You might tell about the bonds j!
in writing and escape murder. You rr
might tell the dog about the meat j*
in safety. It is actually seeing n'
that does the mischief. V
t<
In that murder there is a warn- d
ing more important than notice to c|
bond dealers and pawnbrokers to ij
avoid temptation to crime in front
y window displays. This serves no- ^
* tice on the very prosperous to be- e
ware of foolish ostentation. Those *
^ that waste should do it in private, ?
r where it will not be seen by those c
that kick. 1a
Human psychology is curious,
and that which is actually seen is "
most dangerous.
The dinosaur, seventy to a hun- ?
dred feet long, biggest thing in
creation, probably expected to last d
forever. But he has disappeared; p
he was too big. It took too long tl
for his small head to know what t
was happening to the end of his t
tail when one of the small carniv- c
orous dinosaurs attacked him. ?
What happened to the ancient
dinosaur will happen to the modern c
dinosaur, the British Empire. For
a dinosaur it has been well man- ii
aged. It is not likely that any s
other country on earth could have fl
managed as much of the earth as <i
long and successfully, on the "
whole, as England has managed,
from the arctic regions to the a
equator, and on down to the South g
Pole. I
1* ^
The imperial British dinosaur 1
evidently has reached the limit of
its growth. Soon the English
government may find itself ruling
only those that speak English,
perhaps not all that it rules now.
Egypt is to have some kind of
home rule at once. That is one |\j
sign there has been much dissatisfaction
in Egypt.
The Prince of Wales has decided
not to include India in his
travel. Another sign.
There has been much unrest in ti
India, and too much shooting of ?
the natives. u
Lovat Fraser, intelligent ob- "
server, who writes for IiOra North- '
cliffe, says, "We must relinquish ?
remote imperial commitments and
pet to work to restore our fi- o
nances." Ii
The idea is that the relinquish- h
ment will include only "the dry *
desiccated lands in the middle 1
east." Mr. Fraser says, "We cannot
police half Asia." We can- c
not, indeed, for Asia will not al- t
low it. v
No ships from America allow- ?
ed to land at Queenstown, but a
*> westbound ships may land there, k
The English, intelligent managers, h
plan carefully. Westbound snips K
will carry away emigrants, thus J
decreasing population opposed to v
English ruU. No ship from America
will be able to land De Valera e
in his Irish Republic.
With eighty thousand soldiers d
In Ireland It Is evidently planned
to have a regular fight?a reconquest,
somewhat modified, on the
Cromwell order. To realite what
"eighty thousand British soldiers
In Ireland" means. Imagine an
army of eighty thousand occupying
a part of one average-sized
State In this country.
A conquest of Ireland seems
planned, but It is not likely with
the best will In the world that
any British commander will again
send back to Parliament a report
to equal Prom well's: "I
' have pacified this Island (Ireland).
I shot every tenth man The rest
P*I sent to the gallevs. The monks

iovernor Will Confer at White

By DAVID M. CHURCH. I
lateraalional !S>?va |
President Wilson und Governor j
ox will probably hold a conference ! 4
ere before the President makes any j y
efinite plans as to his part in the
ampuign. according to Democratic \
jadcrs today.
HKLIt!! ON Hl? ARVICB.
The White House ha* made It very |y
!ain that the President regatd* the
Ainpulg n as Governor Cox's campaign. I
nd while he it) willing to help, lie
esires that Governor Cox outline the
umpaign plan for him and the pai t
elected for the Chief Kxecutive
Am the result of conferences which j
avc been held here during this week 1 a|
etween Secretary Tu.nulty, Joseph s
uffey. national committeeman from , ^
ennsylvania: Attorney General Taller.
K. H. Muo'e, representative ofjli
overnor Cox and other Democratic,
>aders, it is understood that Govei-.ni
or Cox will be urged to come to S
Washington following his Western .
>ur for a conference with the Prest-|
ent. ! je
A general conference of all Demo- ,
ratic leaders with President Wilson j g[
i desired and believed necessary, ac- | g(
urding to some of those who havejg^
een in conference here this wW j cjj
he leaders who have been in confer- H|
nee here this week have sgreed that | (e
closer organization is desirable to m
srry on the work of the campaign
nd they feel that a more effective ev
ionization might be worked out if
general conference were held here. |m
The White House has refused to j vc
lake any state.nent on the possible i or
art the President may take in the j a(
ampaign. until after Governor Cox ti(
as moved and has indicated his deIres.
. i tt'
A series of messages from the I resient
on the League of Nations is ex- !m
ected as ths most likely proposal jD
lat will be made by Governor t'ox jH
" the President. Leaders feel that if | of
he President and Governor Cox can ! 0|
onfer they can map out a plan of j
ampaign upon the League of Nations Si
isue which would bring that subject I;
efore the public In the most forcible p]
lanner during the late weeks of Ri
ctober. "
The question of the President mak- in
rig a campaign speech is still one of pi
peculation. While White House of- cc
cials state that the President's conition
is such that he might make fr
peeches. there has been no indication ni
rom his physician as to whether such w
ction would be advisable or not. Ci
