Democrats Late
in Finding Issue
CftntlnuMi from Pax Onn
ated White. But Cox was not n good
nough politician not to be intrigued
by the idea of raising some issue which
would put the Wilson administration
out of tho public uiitid, especially some
issue which he was better qualified by
experience nnd habit of mind for pre
senting to the country than the League
Of Nations.
In his earlier speeches ho experi
mented with two issues, the League of
Nations and the charge that Republican
rule meant a return to reaction. Then
he became enamored of his charges
against the Republican campaign fund
as giving point to his issue of reaction.
He was led away from the league Issue,
lost time presenting a case thnt he could
not Drove, suffered some in the estlma

Superficial Life of City, Cap
tain de Senechal Says
DEPLORES ORGY STORIES
Captain F. do Scnechnl, president of
Les Comrades do Combat, the French
veteran organization which corre
sponds to the American Legion, said
today that this country has gained a
false notion of tho moral qualities of
the Parisians.
Captain de Senechal,' holder of a
Croix de Guerre and member of the
region or Honor, is a former college
professor, who enlisted ns a private In
the French army, though far past the
age for active military service, and roso
from the ranks to a captaincy.
He was sent to this country by Mar
shal Foch, who'wlth Mnrehnl Petain, is
honorary president of Les Comrades de
Combat, to nttcud tho recent conven
tion of the American Legion. He was
nt the Bellevue-Stratford today for
luncheon ns the guest of James A.
Flaherty, supreme grand knight of the
Kuights of Columbus.
Wrong Impression of Paris
"Americans hnve acquired nn un
fortunate impression concerning Paris,"
said Captain de Senechal. "The stories
of prodigal spending nnd dissipation
that hnve come lu the cable news to
America do not truthfully represent
Paris as tho Parisians know their great
city.
"Montmnrte is far better known to
the tourist and the French pruvlnciul
than it is to the Parisian, I was born
and bred in Paris, and lived then,
through most of a long lifetime, yet I
have never been in Moutmarte. This is
true of most Parisians.
"Paris and its environs make tip u
grent city with n population of 0,
000,000 persons. To sav that nil tbi
people arc frivolous und degraded is
Deyonu reason. Tlic people who make
up the real city are honest, God-fenring.
hard-working folk, who take their
pleasures soberly. The real Parisian
likes to take his pleasure and recrea
tion amid beautiful surroundings. He
will go with his fnmlly to the Bols, or
out Into the country. He loves to fre
quent the art galleries. He Is not n
boulcvardicr.
Real Paris Hidden
"Unfortunately, Americans nnd other
foreigners who come to Paris us a rule
have more money tlinn time to spend
there. They never get awny from the
boulevards. They never net Into the
homes of Purls. They do not sec the
people of the city us they really nrc
w oi king or quietly taking their ense
with their families.
"If these quests of ours could see
us ns we really are, they would imd
Paris much like any other largo city.
It is most regrettable that those who

States Senator Frcllnghuysen, of New

Congress would give more substantial

respect for our laws, the relnculeatlon

-that, It seem sto me, Is our first

first should bo our motto, nud it should

"It seems to me quite evident, how
ever, that the expansion of our com
merce and the perfection of our trans
portation systems nrc of chief concern
in the solution of our economic prob

Congress when It passed two
great reconstruction statutes, the mer
chant marine act and the railroad law.
There two monumontiil pieces of legis
lation aimed to regroup and relocate
all of the machinery of the nation, in
the development of its business, internal
and external, interstate and interna
tional. These were two great, far
reaching statutes, whose force and
