Externally their histories are monotonously similar, and almost commonplace; fcach a farmer boy who drift ed to the nearest largo city, where he stuck through all grades of tho publishing business until he controlled a leading newspaper, and in time rose from lesser political ollko to the high est place In his party.

Now, Is It enough to say that ho is a newspaper man, and let it go a that, making a decision solely on, the merits of tho campaign propaganda? Or, shall we ask what kind of a newspaper man he Is, wherein he wherein he succeeded, and what, therefore, may be his dominant philosophy of life? These questions seemed Important to the writer, and he went to Marion and Dayton, to the Candida trs to their associates nnd subordinates, to their competitors and fellow-townsmen, to arrive at the facts in the respective cases. Here ore the two stories as he has seen them. barren U.1 Harding, for over thirty years editor of the Star, seeing the town grow from 6.000 to nearly 30,000 and growing with It proportionately, long its most conspicuous citizen, has partaken of Its nature completely. Harding is Marlon is Harding.

It is a town where every one, from the president of the First National to the oiler at the roundhouse, is "folks," where nearly ever house has a garage, and where the pineapple or cedar-mop haircut Is In vogue. A town like this does not breed great newspaper men, not If they stick there. It la the sort of Place that the big leaders in the chief centers come from. One night over thirty years ago three young mvn Johnny Slckcl, Jack Warwick and Wfir'n Inrtlimw side the Elite restaurant in Mm- tin. discussing a proposition to buy a moribund newspaper culled tho Star.

about to be abandoned. Hkket was tlv I capitalist, navmg Dicn left a legacy of WOO a few days before Warwick was an apprentice printer nnd Harding had been for a few months a $6-a-woek reporter on a Democratic nfiwsliiinr.r' frnm which he had been discharged for wear ing u. limine nai. some one suggested that they conclude tho discussion over a plate of oysters, but as they started into the Elite Hartlinir fuirfdrnlv h.

"Boys," said he. "if we buy me totar who II pay for the oysters?" Bought the Star. They did buy the Star for WOO cash, each a third owner.

Warwick, who. as Hard nc nncn tnlil inp writer, was ine eirver nnn ni im with a nimble wit and drawllnt? humor.

spared himself the labor of writing his news ay setting it up directly at the eaao, and thus, to do It more quickly, his personals became shorter and short- Willi often a notable num. Hardlnc went in ior longer 'pieces descriptive, argumentative, rhetorical. It was aiio rus lot to "inaue up the paper inui a. arrange lug tvnn antl nnnort on the allotment of news, editorial matter, and advnrtlHing. One day Warwick naiieri out trom nis ease where he was petting type, to Harding, with sleeves rolled up.

and the "little fellows" from the Marlon Star were often copied In the Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo and even the Chicago dailies. Then enme the call to tho larger journalism, and Warwick shook the dust of the small town from his feet and hoisted himself another rung up the obvious ladder. As he said "good-by" to his partner, to whom he had sold his Interest promissory note enough railway fare to take him to Cleveland, he added, whole-heartedly: "Warren, this Is too small a town for you. As soon as I am located and get my bearings, I'll find a place for you." "Thanks, Jack," replied lie who was now sole owner of the debt-burdened Marion Star, an obscure Dnner in town hareH- on nnv map and u.it at nil on some, "but think I'll stick."

repeated In practically every city anil town of the United States, but one unique feature. One Unique Feature. The unique feature is thin: There was never any appearance of struggle in Harding. Although many a time uncertain hew he was to meet Ills payroll, he never apparently was anything but prosperous. Moreover, he singularly avoided contest.

He spoke only good of his competitors. No one ever heard; No one ever heard him berate a rlval-nt least not nub- llcly. He grew slowly, normally, llko a blessed oak deep-rooted in comfortabin soil. The lightning never hit hlm, and If tlie drought came he had enough reserve strength to weather It without hurt. Of the fevers of metropolitan Journalism he wns ns ignorant as is a country "of the thrills of the race -course.

Certain rules were early established 1 inieijurenctf or singular ciarity ana will of instant decisions. Tho next morning Cincinnati rang wnn tne important news 01 ino new merger, a -clear "beat" for Cox's employer, and henceforth the telegraph copy desk grubbed on without the ini tiative ana industry or me young man who now took another step upward on tna oovious lauaer. Cox Best Reporter. "In the late nineties," to quote an old Cincinnati editor, "Jimmy Cox Was tho best reporter and about the worst writer In southern Ohio. There was not a week that he did not turn In a sensa tional "scoop," ana seldom were nis facts wronir: never a faker, he never spared himself In any effort to get flrst- nanu exclusive mrormation.

His only vanity was In being first: his only pride In beating all rivals, and to be first he stopped at nothing. It. was useless to talk to htm of consequences or of policies. Ho lived solely for the moment nnd his moment was now." Among the prominent rnnn whom young Cox knew Wi.ll was Paul Sorg, tohncco millionaire.

When Sorg was elected to he proposed that the enterprising young reporter become his nrlvato secretary, and when Cox went to Washington be was also the correspondent of two Ohio dailies. To be "Washington correspondent." is the pinnacle of most youthful Jour, nallstic ambitions.

Along what paths did Journalist Cox climb on his upward road? "Lucky Cox," some call him In Ohio, but he was lucky, It was because he was quicker than others to divine the drift ui events ana to soize their advantage for his OWtl.

rnese character rhp 'rnwi am nnv ton Nnw thrnlitrhnut It- ..1 building. It was the period wlven tho muckrake was mighty throughout tho juuerican newspaper worm. None ventured more In thn rnnlma nf avnnma the Dayton News. 'n Hn.milnrl "ni. low" puper of Chicago, Denver, or New York went further 'in circuitous and persistent enterprise to "reveal" to the public the Inner workings of big business.

One after another Cox uttacked tho public utility corporations of Dayton, and nothing was more welcome In tho editorial looms of the Dayton News than publlshable scandal concerning a citizen prominent because of his wealth. The lesser news most fea- iiireu concerned violent death, divorce. crime, and sensational litigation. The appeal of tho paper was frankly for a wide circulation among the more emotional, i Editor Cox seldom wrote an editorial. He cared very llttlo for that part of his pujjur, bo iong as it remained consist ently Democratic.

As an editor his chief concern was for what is known as "creative" journalism. He wanted to bo the agent or in the confidence of the agent who caused sensational 'things to haimen. the focal nolnt for rnib Men tion being usually the filing of a suit irri open court, dui so arranged mat the News would be first in the field with tne announcement. While the right hand of the editor was thus industriously concerned in stirring the boiling pot, the left hand of thecaullous Investor was not Idle. Out oc tuo swin or-exDOse runn ner throuch a decade he survived as the holder of diocks or stocK in tne telephone com pany, in tho street railway company and In the public gas companies.

For none of theso stocks did he pay cash or Its equivalent, but devoted his services as organizer or promoter, so that event- tuaiiy ne erne rued, what with the sue. cess of his papers and the increased value of his other holdings, a mil lionaire, Illustrates Dual Capacity. An episode of the Dayton, flood, when Cox was Governor, illustrates the func tioning of his dual capacity as state executive and newspaper opportunist' With admirable dispatch he met tho emergency of nature's cataclysra and as chief of the state neither slept nor ate until he had dono all In his human power to alleviate the suffering and lessen tho property loss, summoning assist ance, ire tunc oir sneciai relief trains. eliminating red tauo In tho evncooe of a perilous nour.

But these terms nniv nartianv oxnres tne difference. From a. purely professional and business point oi view ootn are progressive ana efficient Institutions, and each leads in its community.

Contrasting Character, However, the soul that lies behind each is essentially of contrasting char acter, with roots that go deeper Into our common humanity. Behind the Marion Star Is a patriarchal disposition which looks upon a newspaper as a species of community centen which should perform a for all, and which no one man may dominate except In so fur his Influence is recognized by common consent. Incidentally, it Bhould be recorded that yeajrs ago Hardlnc voluntarily offered shares In nis pa- imiiar noriod Cox was buylnir out the partners who might later aharo profit. Behind the Dayton News Is what may be calted In a Socialistic sense, a "paternal" dlenowit'au. While no one the owner holds any stock in the paper, old employes are well treated and retired on pepsions.

Public and other policies have, the same In Heat ion. Intelligent and unflagging attention is given to all questions, but the answers are always in terms of the decision of the sole Individual who has been far-sighted and determined enough to acquire undisputed authority. this Into terms of politics, and It may- seem a paradox of Republicanism and Democracy. But hero are the facts. They speak for themselves.

This occasion, it Is aucreexteri in the nrneltun. 'tlon. nhnulri tan emnlnwd In mrrrtRM to Dnng nome to me people tne present nre waste.

According, to the United States census of 1020 there are In thiB country at this time 3,170,000 widows and only 1,471,300 widowers. This indicates that the chances are, on tho average, two to one that a man will pass away before his wife.

Senator Harding, the Republican presi dential candidate, has summed tip liU position as In favor of "going back ward," while Governor Cox, the Demo cratic candidate has tlcclarod for "going forward." Mr. Gompers also says that the Republican national convention In adopting its platform "turned Ita back on labor." and declares that "every American worker, every earnest American citizen must strive ardently for the defeat of those who turned their backs upon labor and upon the people generally." "The two leading candidates for-tho presidency have defined clearly their attitude toward the great public Issut'S of tho day," says artl.Mo which wan mode public today by the labor federation.

"Unquestionably in the mind of Senator Harding a return to normal means conditions that existed before the war- a return to something that Is past It Is clear then that In keeping with the spirit of tho Republican platform Senator Harding's personal desire Is to follow a course that leads backward and if elected to lead the nation In such a course. "Governor Cox proclaims a desire to ro forward and a determination to lend the nation In a forward course if he Is elected to the presidency. "Both of these statements are abstractions and of themselves mean nothing beyond a definition of the general trend of thought of the candidates. The Important fact Is, however, that the platforms of tho parties upon which these candidates stand and their own personal philosophies lead inevitably and naturally up to the conclusions found In these two brief utterances. "Tho denial of any desire on the part of the American people to go backward to any thing that la past has been found In practically every public expression which the pt-ople havt been able to make in recent months."

Mr. Gompers then reviewed the results of recent primaries In a number of and continues: "The Interest of the great masses of our people can be best served only by the election of the candidate whose declarations and whose record offer the best assurance of intelligence and integrity in the future. It Is vital that there be success for the candidate and the platform which best understand the needs of the people and which most fully and moat honestly pledge their satisfaction. "Tho Republican convention 'turned itri back upon labor' and in so doing turned Its hack upon all of our people except for that small minority which finds Its occupation In the exploitation of the masses through special opportunities and special privileges, "Every American worker; every earnest American citizen devoted to the cause of human progress and with a faith in the rishteousm'ss of the principles of freedom, justice, and democ-liu-y must sinve ardently for the defeat of those who have turned their backs upon labor and upon tho people generally and for the success of those who have attempted to met with un-dcratanding and in a spirit of constructive progress tho problems of the needs of the working people and of the great masses of all our people."
