Is a There is more than one way, appar. ently, to carry on a political campaign. One way that does not meet with the approval of the majority of the voters is the mud-slinging way. And as each aide discovers a new mudhole from which to grab a handful of alime, the people get more and more disgusted. It may be true, as Governor Cox alleges, that the Republicans have an enormous slush fund with which to try to defeat the DemocFatle candidate, But It le of little interest to the aver.
age man, and the only ones who will feel a momentary quickening of the pulse are those who wonder if they will be able to "get theirs." But a counter charge is the poorest way to defend an individual or a group against attack. It only serves to muddy the waters, and does not tend to convince anyone. So. the Republican charge that Governor Cox 3 campaign is being financed by the British government 18 not only silly, It is futile. It might be a good item for the humorous column of some country newspaper hard up for a "filler," but it will not be accorded even the passing attention of most of the voters.
or course, such a statement is for consumption by the rabid Sinn Feiners and others who are classed as Anglophobes. But those who have a sence of humor will only grin at the silliness and the paucity of invention of its author, and will remember that Great Britain not only is but mildly Interested in the question of Mr. Wilson's successor, but la not given to spending money in elections in any country besides its own. The trouble with the campaign lies is that they have a cortain effect that cannot be offset until months afterward The most famous campaign canard that comes to our remembrance the oft-quoted Romanism and Rehellion" remark credited to a Rev. Mr.
Burchard, which cost James A. Plaine the presidency, and which now declared to have been a. He, manufactured out of whole cloth. Congressman Britten of Chicago, who made this latest charge, la a per son of little consequence outside of his native elty, He knows Governor Cox personally, and should be one of the last men to accuse him of anything discreditable. Perhaps if some of the authors of the campaign, lies were made to anawer a libel charge they might not be to get themselves into the so eager limelight by making such daring statements.
The British ambassador, by inference, is charged by Mr. Britten with misusing British funds and with medthe politics of the country to ding in which he accredited. There is no diplomatic Immunity which protecta Representative Britten from prosecution on a charge of libel against the ambassador from Groat Britain, a friendly nation and one that has not heretofore been accused of undue influence in our interior affaire. But the few who are disposed to is belleve such charge will not be disabused of that bellef until perhaps months after the election. The British government is not apt to do more than make the usual representations to our state department concerning anch a charge, and the wheels of diplomacy are slow in revolving.
Mr. Cox himself probably will dismiss the charge with a philosophical sheng of the shoulders, although he declares himself prepared to prove the charges he made as to the Republican campaign funds. It should be much easier to prove the charges made by Mr. Cox, even it such charges were material in any any way except showing the lengths to which the Republican leaders are their eagerness for prepared to go in power, than it would be to disprove the charges of influence and British. British gold being Improperly used for the election of the Democratic candidate.
We may look for much more mudslinging before the campaign is over. And the people will hardly change their opinions because of it. THE WORLD IS SMALL. Thursday's Dally. CAMPAIGN ISSUES.
A month ago the body of a woman found in a trunk in a warehouse in New York. Search ended in the discovery that the woman was a supposed "Mrs. Leroy," and a nation wide alarm was sent out for the apprehension 01 her who was suspected of "husband," being her slayer. Yesterday Leroy was arrested in Rio de Janeiro, where he had gone as a member of the crew of a British freighter. It appears that the identifeation is complete, and Leroy will be brought back for trial in Detroit, where he 1a believed to have murdered the woman and then to have shipped the remains to New York.
Which shows how small a place this world of ours really 18. Less than a month after the presumed crime the police had discovered the whereabouts of the suspect, and he WAN arrested thousands of mites aWaY. Other crimes, less mysterioua, have taken years to ferret out, and the criminals have succeeded in making their escape despite the beat efforts of the most skilled detectives of several nations. But modern conveniences in the way of wireless, and the experience and skill of the New York detectives, are making It each year more difficult for a man who has committed to escape the long arm of justice. Just how the detectives discovered that Leroy was aboard the freighter is not yet known.
It is known the vessel did not sail from New York until ten days after the discovery the woman's body, and it was during the period of greatest activity on part of the officers of the entire country that Leroy got out of New York. Each day many ships sall out New York harbor, destined for many ports on the seven seas. Many thousands of seamen ship each week through the various consuls of their respective nations and a great many of them under assumed names. It was a clever piece of work single out Leroy from all the thousands of sailors who had sailed out New York bay and to discover what ship he sailed on. After that it was merely a matter of sending radiograms to the United States consul at Rio de Janeiro, the first port of call, and the arrest followed as easily as if it had been in another precinct of New York.
In fact. the wireless and other modern inventions are making distant pointe merely parts of a great whole. There is no longer any isolation for any place where a ship calls on her regular business. The commerce of the world, while still requiring weeks and even months for voyage, is at all times in touch with the great trade centers, and a business house in New York may have communication with one of its ships at sea thousands of miles away, It is becoming increasingly difficult for criminals 10 escape the conse. quences of their crimes.
There are today few places where a criminal may evade extradition. And they are all places where a man would feel as much in prison as if he were in the Tombs or in Joliet, no matter what his physical freedom. The detective of today works on different plan from the sleuths of former generation. They all use deduction and they have at more their command the wonderful discoverles of science that make it difficult, not only to escape from the net which they weave around the persought, but to disprove the charges of criminal action. There seems to be little doubt that Leroy la guilty of the murder of the woman he called his wife.
No one knows what mitigating circumstances he may claim, but the fact that he was discovered and arrested so promptly Indicates that the detectives have other information as to the crime he is alleged to have committed. And the long arm of justice has been extended until it reaches swiftly across the leagues of ocean and seizes the fleeing culprit almost as easily 8,8 if he had remained at home. MONITION.

Budapest, Aug. Nicholas Horthy, regent of Hungary, told The Associated Press correspondent today that in his opinion "Europe is on the verge of other wars which will not be severe but will repair the inJustices and incongruities of the peace treaty. I am quite sure that old Hungary will come back again," he continued. "It was formed by natural necessities, so it cannot be held apart by paper treaties." Allied military observers here feel that war is in the air and that Hungary is likely to begin it by invading Slovakia on a pretext of saving that country from Bolshevism but with the intention of crushing the Czechs, which the Hungarians feel would be an easy task, and then attacking Rumania with the aid of the Bulgarians, who want to recover Dobrudia, and of the Serbs who want the Bunat. War prophets here are asking what Hungary intends to do with the arms and food she is collecting.
It 18 known that Hungary has more than $1,000,000 worth of American cunned meats, that she has received 28 tanks and a large number of rifles and is manufacturing munitions. These lattor are ostensibly intended for the Poles. Regent Horthy, however, told the correspondent that the Hungarian army does not exceed the terms of the peace treaty. (Under these terms the Hungarian army was limited to 35,000 men ard guns not to exceed 10 centimeters.) "The Allies are constantly Inspecting us to see if we are mobilizing." said the regent; "whereas they should be sending us arms to prepare for Bolshevik danger; but they do not understand so they wait until the Red troops overrun us, then fling up their hands in despair." Asked whether Hungary Intended to ratify the peace treaty and when, Admiral Horthy remained allent, The regent is still popular and is steering his way cautionsly, "I was thrown into the present pollLical situation against my will and politics are making my duties heavy," he said. "However, I will stick to my post." Admiral Horthy has been seeking recreation by making his residence in the royal domain at Godollo, near this city, but he complains that there in hardly a bed to sleep on in the vast chateau owing to the looting of it by the Communists and Romanians who, had cut up paintings, Gobelin tapestries, Persian carpets and the up(holstery of furniture when they could not carry it away.
