Conspicuous signs In tho Democratic sky Indicate that Governor Cox and his fellow passengers are deserting de-serting tho sinking League of Nations ship, Wood-row Wood-row Wilson skipper, mates and crow. George White, Cox's brand new national committee com-mittee chairman, sajs: "We do not hear ery much about the League of Nations out in Ohio." And it is proverbial than tho brutality of neglect Is more Insufferable In-sufferable than the cruelty of abuse. Jleic In New York the chief Democratic newspapers newspa-pers and likewiso tho chief league organs aro In deep depression. PeiTiaps they are In the confidence of Governor Gov-ernor Cox, as we are not. , They already mny have been permitted to glance over. the draft of his speech of acceptance, and Ihcifclnithey may havo seen the touch of death laid upon .the once live .and kicking league. Anyhow, they aro both at their funeral prayers. One of them, between verses, savagely damns the whole American peoplo a3 responsible for this awful loss of the League, whete It used to bo sufficient for that organ to denounce Henry Cabot Lodge, the United States Senato and tne Republican party for keeping the anointed League out of Its own. Tho other organ weeps. Alas! It only It might have been! "Europe would have been the better. The world would havo been tho better." Perhaps even we ourcelves might havo been a little cleansed of sin in splto of Organ Number One's pronouncement pronounce-ment that the whole American people "are Incapable Incapa-ble of passing Intelligently on tho League of Nations or any other proposal for human betterment requiring far-sighted courage and unselfishness for Its' adoption. We have not had a pilvate squint of the manuscript manu-script of Governor Cox's speech, have not had a tJnnto confidential whisper from him or from anybody any-body as to Its contents, wo havo no idea of how far ho Is going to slldo away fiom Sir. Wilson and Mr. Wi' son's League of Nations. But wo feel sure, Cosure that ho cannot go much moio than a hair's bieath without running Into a,whlilwind of wildcat trouble with tho Wilson League Infatuates. Sun & N. Y. Herald. ' , |
