(Official City, State ani oe ee Entering the Fold Senator Harrison, the “keynoter” of the Demo- cratic side of the senate, had somesjustifiable fun at the expense of the tenuous Republican majority over the return of Senator Lynn J. Frazier, usually the implacable foe of regularity in politi in eco- nomics and in all the other “ies” that agitate public men and make them often interesting well as | ridiculou: Harrison chided the Republicans as being divided | in principles, but united in spoil: | The return of North Dakota’s senior senator to | good standing before the pork barrel and at the pie counter formed the text of Harrison’s gibes. | Has Senator Frazier sold his political ideals for | a mess of pottage? was the query from the Demo- | cratic side. Has he been dulled to the stern chal- | lenge of the embattled farmers by the urge of pelf | and plunder; by the comfortable ease of senatorial | courtesy, seniority and precedent which demand | only regularity in the distribution of patronage? | He still may be allowed to sputter and blubber at | Wall Street, but he must come into caucus politically | pure in heart.

Verily he answers now to the roll call of a caxcus which cares little for the trials | and tribulation: of the embattled farmers; yea, verily even the thunderings of La Folletteism fall{ upon deaf ears; a once noble heart no longer bleeds | for the wounds and castigations of a dear “pecpul,” but rather expands in joyful diastole as the plums scatter into his capacious lap this yuletide, Has Lynn forgotten the pain “in the corn belt,” or the farmer’s empty stocking? As a prophet crying in a wilderness of bourgeois | indifference and capitalistic smugness, Lynn J. Fra-| zier met the test of the pr letariat and the other sons of political unrest.

Papa says, ‘If you see it in the Sun it’s so.’ Please tell ‘ me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? 4 “VIRGINIA O'HANLON, “115 W. 95th street.” Here is the reply: “Virginia, your little friends are wrong.

A little later that same child learns | it is good French to say “c'est moi.” Again it falls | into the error of its youth. For a time it is apt to| say “it is me.” Then come stern and learned teach- | ers who instill a horror for such phraseology. | Eventually that same child is heard repeating what) mother and father used to say: “Don’t say ‘it is! me,’ say ‘it is 1’” Now, however, comes the college entrance board and says it shall be right, no matter whether it is| wrong or not. That settles it. “It is me” is cor-| rect in examination papers. Socn it will be correct | in current speech.

In the officers elected and in members of executive committee they will see a combination not seen in their state in ten years—Republicans of both factions, Democrats, farmers, lawyers, bankers, merchants. These will now sit together for the good of the state’s indus- try and commerce. Compared to that, the program is of lesser impor- tance. Yet it must not be overlooked. It asks what the Dispatch has been asking for the past five years—agricultural relief through legislative act that will give agriculture the same protection as legislation now gives other industry. To this end, the new organization not only invites, but pleads for cooperation on the part of the business man. He is told plainly that it is his business that is at stake, as much as the farmer’s and his presence is cor- dially requested. Ccmpare that attitude with the first effort to get relief, when class was set against class, when neigh- bors of old standing were made enemies over night, and when an internecine war that)lasted nearly ten years was inaugurated.

Warren’s ap- pointment as attorney general. Nye and Frazier, while assured of their patronage, have indicated no abandonment of their irregularity. The northwest has seen its so- called “reds” and “pinks” turn lily white before. Cummins of Iowa, once a rank progressive, was a star example. He died a staunch stand- patter. So did Knute Nelson of Minnesota. Lenroot of Wisconsin first came to Congress as a La Fol- lette progressive. Other more progressives have been convinced that they were actually radicals and in seeking to tone down to plain progressivism became con- servatives. But how contagious is this sweet and gentle spirit of forgiveness? Will it spread, for instance, to the gread northwest that elected such ‘men as Brookhart, Nye and Frazier.

The celebrated character actor* achieved the strangest disguise he ever attempted—and appeared in the likeness of a romantic young hero— a veritable matinee idol—for the pr logue of “The Road to Mandal: his latest starring vehicle. This film is soon to be seen ut the Capitol The- atre, At the opening of the story he is a young sca captain—later after a lapse of years is shown as the sin- ister “Singapore Joe” to which the youngster had degenerated. According to Chaney, applying the make-up for a matinee idol was one of the most intricate problems he ever faced—as never in his life has he been called upon to perform such a task. “Most of my make-ups de- pend on duplicating age,” he suid, “and to try and put on youth proved much like trying to write with my left hand.” Chgney appears as a typical mati- nee idol type in the early scenes and presents the appearance of youth, while as a matter of fact he is mid- dle-aged.
