Like the old prospector who has made rike and plays million- aire for a day, she has had her fling.

The whole town went on a spree, and a hundred thousand or! sd fanatical fans from other cities rushed in to help the jollification. There'll be a headache when it is all over, of course. The high elation ‘of such periods doesn't last. And when Washington settles back | to the humdrum of being just the national capital, with nobody more important than the president and the cabinet members, or occasional for- eign dignitaries like the Prince of Wales or King Benjamin to pique its interest, things are going to seem mighty prosy. There may even be a bit of remorse, as the residents view accumulation of work left un- done which must now be tackled, and} the deficit in their savings accounts] due to dare-devil plunging on grand- stand seats at world series prices. But for the once it was one grand orgy. Inauguration of presidents, parades of returned victorious arm- ies, never sent the staid capital to such heights of delirious reckless- ness. Even Calm Cal Coolidge cele- brated his nineteenth wedding anni- versary ut the ball park—and Cal is beyond all question the mildest, cool- est and most collected ball fan in the capital. Being president, or even chief jus- tice of the august and theoretically pedate supreme court, need not rob @ s.au Of 1s human qualities. At least so thinks William Howard Taft, who has served in both jobs. Dignity and formality are all right, and within bounds must be maintain- ed in these jobs, Bill thinks, but it does public officials good to come down off their high horse and think and talk like average human beings once in a while instead of seeking to maintain an attitude of superman superiority. Bill demonstrated his belief, both by words and actions, the other day when the members of the supreme court gathered at the White House to pay their respects to the president before resuming their judicial labors after the summer's vacation. It was, of course, a formal occa- sion—so long as theg were with the president.

But while! they claim Cal is safe- ly out in front of LaFollette and Davis, where he cannot be pock- eted and where he isn’t even trou bled by their dust the going for Republican senator. iat and state entries is admittedly not so good.

In confidence, they forecast a Coolidge rather than a Republican victory. For the election of a presi- dent, but the loss of both houses of Congress, can hardly be herald- ed as a great party victory. It vould be a personal victory for Coolidge, not a triumph for the G. C. Pp. Yet that is exactly what even the most optimistic | Republican leaders expect. Just what the elements of popu- lnrity are in Coolidge’s makeup that have brought about this situation the old-time politicians can’t fig ure out. "All the old bag of tricks baa seemlyfor supreme court justices, they suggested. - Then up spoke Bill, the chief jus- tice of them all, in. informal terms: “Come on,” he said, waving his arms at the reluctant ones. “Can the chatter.

These old-timers are loath to aad mit that perhaps it is Coolidge’s very indifference that gives him his | strength, yet a lot of them are be- ginning to get that “hunch” and to ponder it very seriously. It: isn’t, + them, a particularly appealing ater for meditation, but they ad- nit it appears an inescapable fact. Anyway, something appears to them to be wrong when a seeming- ly negligible personality catches the public fancy and in the most passive scrt of campaign has all the old party regulars for Congress and Senate hanging onto his coat tails. There is not a single state from which the reports show the local tickets adding strength to the Gool- idge cause. Instead state after state reports Coolidge far out! in front, and voices the hope that his majority may be sufficient to pull across state and congressional can. didatey by a safe, @though, narrow | squeak. Of course the Davis and LaFol- lette camps maintain that these claims of Coolidge strength, parti- cularly in view of the admissions of likely failure to win control of House and Senate, simply show the administration leaders are whistling to keep up courage. With the solid south for a take- off, Al Smith doing his stuff for Davis in New York and LaFollette undercutting the Republican strength in the middle west, Demo: crats decline to accept the dictum that they will not be able to roll up the necessary 266 electoral votes. They even decline to con- sider suggestions that their real hope lies in a deadlocked election, although that appears their salva- tion to most unbiased observers. And the LaFollettes—well, “witht “Fighting Bob”. just taking the stump himself, on a tour that wilt carry him to the Pacific coast, they insist that all dope to date ie premature, that the realy Pro: gressive drive to bring Bob under the wire a winner is just beginning. “Not a deadlock, but a victory” is the LaFollette ery. The one thing on which agree- ment is general however is that bloc control will continug in the Sixty-ninth Congress. This probability is giving the Ceolidge leaders most concern, For without a decisive majority im either house it will be impossible for the president, if re-elected to put into effect administrative poli- cies requiring congressional elec- tien, the other hand such a situa- iN make doubly effective the istration veto, enabling Cool- idge to prevent any leqislative uc- cemplishment by the bloc system, until 1927 at the earliest.

And, to his mother, he was still the boy who was going to make so much of his life, though he was almost thirty. “You are going to stay home with me, dear,” she sald. “It will be hard to keep things going, and your father left only two thousand in insurance.” But she looked wistfully after him the morning after his arrival, as he walked over to the Dayton house. When he reached the door he was astonished at the vision that he saw before him. “Why—this isn’t Nancy!” he gasped, staring at the beautifel ae girl who stood smiling at im. “No, I'm Elizabeth,” answered the girl, blushing at his frank stare of admiration. “Nancy is out this evening. Won't you come in, Mr. Jameson?” : When he took his leave an hour later, the young man realized that, | whatever his love for Nancy might j have been, the image that-he car. ried in his heart had now a strik-!

How could he ever have loved Naty, this woman with the affected air and the peev- | lah lines. about her mouth? It was not until he war about to leave that Walter’ summoned up courage to say what was uppermost in his mind. “Nancy, do you remember what I told you ‘last. time we: parted?” he asked, 3 Nancy's-heart. beat quickly, but it was not with love.

But that was not his last visit to the Dayton home. On the contrary, he called frequently after that—only it was to see Miss Elizabeth, ‘Of course, Nancy was not: slow to see what was transpiring. “Well, j Blizabeth, if you want my cast-off beau, of course it's all right,” she said. “Only he'll always be a pau- per, and if I were you I would send him right about face without de- lny.” ‘That Walter had asked Nancy to marry him since his return Eliza. beth did not know. The words j stung her. Walter was not slow to notice the change in her manner the next time he called. “Elizabeth, what have I done to offend you?” he pleaded. “You haven't offended me, Mr. Jameson,” replied the girl. “Only —people are saying—’ ‘ “What, dear?” asked Walter tak- {ng her hand in his, “That—that you are making lov to me bacause you can’t get Nancy, she faltered, and tried to run away.
