FARMERS TO BURN CORN
Cheaper and Better Than Soft Coal,
Reasons Given
Omaha. Neb.. Oct. 28. (By A. P.)
Hundreds of thousands of bushels of
corn may be burned ub fuel by farmers
in northern Nebraska this winter, ac
cording to reports brought here from
North Line counties.
High priced coal and a bounteous but
low -priced crop of corn is given as the
reason. -ew corn, unshellcd, now
brings three-quarters of a cent n pound,
or $15 a ton. Tho cheapest soft coal is
$l.ri and there are transportation charges
above that. A wagon box thirty inches
high Is required to hold a ton of un
shelled corn and that amount. It Is said,
will make a hotter fire and last longer
than a ton of coal.

COX SEES MORAL
FORCERULEWORLD
Congress Not Legally Bound to
Accept Recommendations of
League, Asserts Governor
CONSCIENCE WILL BE GUIDE
Dayton, O., Oct. 2S. Whether or
not the American, Congress would be
bound morally to adopt recommenda
tions from the League of Nations, was
discussed yesterday by Governor Cox.
during a demonstrative day passed In
his home communities. Including Mid
dletown, Ohio, his boyhood home, and
here last nlgbt In his home city.
The question of a moral obligation
was asked point blank by man In the
audience in Mlddletown. Without giv
ing n "yes or no" answer, Governor
Cox declared there would be no legal
obligation upon tho United Stntei, but
that "the presumption In the conscience
of tho world will determine some action
which will not only De right but which
will be effective."
Governor Cox added thnt the Mon
roe Doctrine had been maintained
without the firing of a shot and that he
fnvored n Hitchcock reservation declar
ing Congress should be free to accept or
reject league advice as to employing
American military force.
Home Folks Welcome Governor
Thit governor's home folks turned out
In force, . thousands joining in
giving him enthusiastic testimonials of
esteem. He made five speeches, mostly
devoted to vigorously championing the
League of Nations, in his home com
munities. Many delegations from nearby
cities were here tonight.
After two addresses In Mlddletown.
the Governor spoke to a woman's audi
ence, which packed Eagles lull last
night, to another capacity audience In
Memorial Hall and to a large overflow
meeting outside.
A torchlight procession, containing
numerous bonds and hundreds of per
sons In marching clubs, preceded to-
mgnt a rallies, or which flreworkB were
a feature. In the events, the Governor
was the center of cheering, surging
throngs.

the league was the first during the Gov-'
cinui n vuiiiiiuiKiuui; uuu waa uroaenra
by n stranger in tho Governor's Middle-
town audience. It wns said that the
man, who asserted that at one time
he had taught school, refused to give
bin name.
He and Governor Cox held n lengthy
nnd spirited, but friendly joint debate
which lasted several minutes, regard
ing the moral obligation and several
other league questions.
The Incident caused the Governor to
relate other circumstances of the cam
paign in which he said "hecklers" and
other means bad been used by Chair
man Hays of the Republican "national
committee in attempts at embarrass
ment. Governor Cox also continued hot-fire
In all today's speeches against Senntor
Harding, repeating that the "Senator
was wiggling nnd wobbling" upon the
league issue and trying to obtain elec
tion "under false pretenses."
The Governor reasserted that a "great
wave" pf league Bentiment was sweep
ing the'natlqn.
The governor's debate 'regarding
league obligations followed his state
ments made in most of his speeches to
meet contentions that the league would,
as the governor put It. "take American
boys into every duck alley row In Eu
rope." When he reiterated the contention
that Congress only had power to declare
war, "in or out of tho league," and
that tho league council was limited
solely to advice, the governor's nue
tloner Interjected: "The President
would advise Congress as to the recom
mendations of the council. Would not
that morally bind Congress?"
Much of Governor Cox's league argu
ment to his home folks was in a
religious vein, and he stressed the uni
versal church indorsement, which, he
said, had In-en given the league.
"The significance Is this," he said;
"when we let God tnlk to us we're for
It: when we let Henry Cabot Lodge
talk to us we're against It."
Charges of "conspiracy" In the hlg
nature of the senatorial "round robin"
also were emphaslzid by tho governor,
woo received prolonged cheers when he
feat of Senator Harding I
tepubllcan candidates whol
predicted defeat of
and other Renubllca
were named on the "round robin." As
usunl, he nnraed Senntor Newberry, of
Michigan, and then followed with ref
erence to Senator Harding.

n tacit agreement between Washington
and Toklo that tho governments would
not make public statements regarding
the negotiations, which are continuing
sympathetically.
It Is understood thnt talks given by
M. Hanihara to political leaders have
been a sort of concession to politicians
who have been demanding less secrecy
In diplomatic matters. They have been
of a confidential nature, but, neverthe
less, full reports have been published by
newspapers here.
M. nnnlharo. sneaking on October 16,
was renorted to have declared that
measures taken to check the anti-Jap-onesc

futile. He was said to have declared
thnt If the nendlnir ledslatlon should
I be adopted by tho California Legislature
, there would be nn appeal to the Su

NATIONAL THEATRE URGED
to save Ideals: of stage
E. H. Sothern Says Actors 'Themselves Are Responsible for
PresenuDay Theatrical. Tendencies Favors" Mbro
Stock Companies"
Musical comedr Is not only legiti
mate but good entertainment, In the
opinion 'of B. HV Sotherh, actor, who,
with Mrs. Sothern .(Julia Marlowe), I
in the cltv for a fe& weeks' solourn.
This , lighter form of entertainment
Is not the trashy port of thing that
many persona think it, according to Mr.
Sothern.
"The musical comedy is, on the
whole, a charming form of entertain
incut," he said. "There Is just as much
dlverslori in It for the Intellectual and
persons other than the tired business
man as there Is in any comedy that one
is likely to see."
Mr. Sothern was answering the
charge that the American drama Is
retrograding nnd that mnsical comedy
is one of the prevalent forms of foot
light diversion that spells Intellectual
tuln.
''There is much appeal to the esthetic
In this entertainment," he continued.
"Beautiful settings, costumes and stage
effects, not to mention beautiful girls,
all have an appeal in that direction If
you stop to think about It.
"One of the great difficulties lies In
the fact that the commanding figures
of the stage wh6 rose to the front rank
through sneer labor and achievement
arc dying out and arc not being re-
S laced. Not so long ago, at least it
oesn't seem so long ago, we had such

Bishop to Officiate
Bishop Rhlnclnnder will officiate The
bishop today prepared the following ap
preciation of Miss Coles' life nnd work :
"The death of Miss Mary Cole's will
stir a profound and moving sentiment
in Philadelphia. In the memories of
very many, did and young alike, her
name will otand for a, unique and quite
indelible personal spiritual influence.
"Her chicfest glfe, among many un
usual endowments, was a dominating,
almost masterful, personality, entirely
consecrated and controled by humble
faith and unbounded loving kindness.
Strength of character, clearness of con
viction, an indomitable will ad inde
fatigable purpose were in the closest
posslblo nlliance with tender human
sympathy and self-effacing thoughtful
ness and love. Head balanced heart.
Truth laid hold of her. Grace came out
of her.
Taught Christian Duty
"This was the scret of her extraor
dinary success in teaching. Year by
?'car, generation by genratlon, quite
nrlessly and without compromise Bhe
taught the fullness of Christian faith
nnd duty. She used no adventitious
means of attracting and attaching peo
ple. She needed non. The claim of
truth itself on heart and conscience,
ro-enforced by her own life of unre
served devotion and unaffected piety,
was given a most moving personal ap
peal by her Individualizing and almost
pastoral' lovo for those who came to
'it. Hundreds of our women, through
three generations, have gained from
Mlos Coles their clearest understanding
of, and strongest hold upon, Christian
principle nnd virtue.
"There Is much to be said of hcr
in other Ways, from other points of
view. Her well-stored mind, her wide
acquaintance, her genius for friend
ship, her fine loyalty and sense of truth
and honor, her ardent zeal for mis
sionary work, hcr practical wisdom nnd
unfailing faithfulness; all these went
tn make her the rare and gifted woman
that she wob,
"But for us In Philadelphia, the chief
feelllng mastering us now thnt death
has sealed hcr lopg life of tireless and
loving service, Is the consciousness of
her holy spirit, hcr uncoinpasslng love,
her unfaltering witness to the faith
by which she lived, In which she died
to live again."
