LOGAN PAYNE COMPANY (Official City, State and County Newspaper) The Ladies and Politics There had been so much talk about the en- nobling influence of women beautifying poli- tics that we might have come to look upon the polling place as a sacramental privilege, if we had known a little less about human nature. Now the startling fact develops in an east- ern state that the hand that rocks the cradle also can rock the ballot box just a wee bit. Not much rocking is required, you understand, to purify an election one way or the other in some localities. We are just naive enough to ask the women-will-purify-politics people if little things like this are what they meant when they predicted the millennium of spotlessness. It is against our wish to drag Mother Ferg son back from the obscurity she so richly mer- its to ask if, possibly, such gubernatorial ad- ‘ ministration is what they had in mind. Ask anybody in Texas. They know. Now we have the investigation of Mrs. Flor- ence E. Knapp’s administration of the 1925 « New York state census. A man named Pat- ‘rick Hogan, duly appointed to the census bu- lreau, went to Albany and his consternation | knew no bounds when he found there was noth- ? ing to do but draw his pay, he testified. 2 Here we have the spectacle of an innocent + man, whose conceptions of ideal politics prob- ‘ ably have been irreparably ruined by the dis- » covery that certain politicians didn’t work. ‘+ One of the women in Mrs. Knapp’s bureau * says the expenses were not all they might have } been, either. Her testimony was to the effect } that certain expenses charged to her were used i by someone else.

Then imagine a distance of Such speed is tremendous—almost Flattery With a Trowel Your German, when he wants to, knows ex- actly how to get on the good side of his fellow Europeans, Take cooking, for instance. Everybody, who knows anything at all, is well aware of the fact that English cooking is not cooking. It’s acrime. It’s an atrocity. It’s the essence of how to spoil good meat, good vegetables, good fruit by tossing them into boiling water and producing a sodden, flatécid, tasteless mess. And yet not long ago a Berlin paper emitted this and the editor did not bat an eye: “Of course, it isn’t true that English cook- ing is bad. People say it is, but that is a black lie—one of those lies @hich divide nations and stir up wars.” , As a matter of cold fact, it probably is near- er the truth to say British cooking is what makes the British such good fighters when a war comes around their way. They get up from the table so angry and so dissatisfied that | Editorial Comment Signs Versus Science (Minneapolis Journal) An elderly Chippewa of Northern Minnesota forecasts a short, mild winter, basing his prog- nostication on the usual signs. The’ muskrats are building small and flimsy houses, the fur- bearers’ coats are nothing to brag about, and creatures that hoard food for the winter are stocking up lightly, he’ has observed. It is also possible that he has been watching the white man and noticing that the latter was not cutting as much stove-wood as usual. The traditional signs, then, all point to a rela- tively bland Boreas, on his way to pay a rela- tively short visit. Time was when they would have carried more weight. Of late years science has been discrediting these signs, pointing out that the muskrat’s building operations hinge largely on the nature and abundance of avail- able materials; that the fur-bearers diet and the state of its health, and not the weather out- look, determine the thickness of its coat; that the hoarders store heavily when food is abun- dant and lightly when food is scarce. We don’t know whether the Indian is right, or whether science is right. In this instance we hope the Indian is right. A year ago, when the Indian signs all pointed the other way, we were hoping that science was right. it Various Results in the Elections (Chicago Tribune) Detroit defeated a wet mayor, Ohio defeated a dry law and Kentucky saved its racing. These results, as indicated at this writing, were the outstanding features of the state and municipal elections of Tuesday. New York state had a constitutional change campaign in which the outcome served to point Gov. Smith’s political importance and possibly even to promote it. Philadelphia had a city election which served to bulwark U. S. Senator-elect Vare, whatever good it may do him when the senate looks at his qualifications for his seat. In Detroit, in Ohio and in Kentucky the peo- t from a western newspaper tells the story of a prominent senator who recently made a speech in a hostile county seat. ently was a frost and according to Lf was accosted by the sheriff on the street and in the presence of numer- ous witnesses heard himself called a The senator started for the sheriff and the sheriff threatened to kick his head off.

Don’t speak; entertain. Senator Reed Smoot of Utah, a spellbinder of a very fair order, was delivering an address on tax reduction in Philadelphia the other night. “Upholding Secretary Mellon,” he began, “I would say...” “Rat-a-tat-tat! Boom, boom!” Then the strains of a martial tune as a brass band marched through the hall. “It is absurd to think of reducing taxes any more than—” . “Look who’s here! Hey! Hooray!” fe crowd breaks out as a dozen women with yel- low slickers walk to the patform, and turning, reveal the printed “Vote the Straight Republi- can Ticket” on their slickers. It’s no use, Senator Smoot, it can’t be done. Politics just “‘ain’t what she used to be.” The senator might have done better if he knew how-to play a saxophone or was familiar with parlor magic. He would have won votes for his program if he had invested in a lot of tin horns and thrown them to the audience for | a little general whoop-de-doodle. He would _ have put his candidate into a strong position if ‘he had been able to turn a few handsprings » and hang by his teeth on a whirling wheel, or something like that. The new politics is, oh, so different! 2 ; The Saturation Point ‘ Prediction that the “saturation point” for ; automobiles soon will be reached if the Ameri- can people keep on buying cars at the present Tate, is about as ridiculous as saying that 10 more books can be sold beyond a certain date ; because very person has read one.

N, Webster of Great Britain won the cup races, flying his airplane at a 8 miles an hour. his makes They had succeeded in having the legislature submit for adoption a provision re- establishing the authority of justices of the peace on the fee basis to try liquor cases. The scheme is described as one of calculated bribery, under the law, of justices who could in- crease their fee earnings by convicting persons charged with violation of the dry act. It was another illustration of the extremes to which zealots are driving. Michigan has a law which requires life imprisonment as a penalty for a person who may have been convicted four times for the illegal possession of liquor. The Ohio act would have created a system of terrorism by the authority to be exercised in the ip- significant little rooms of the justices all over the state, with the justices profiting personally whenever they could get a citizen suspected of having liquor brought before them. The people of the state seem to have had a clear view of the consequences invowed in the distortion of justice and seem to have rejected it. If they had not done so they would have exposed the state to all manner of invasions of personal and property rights by obscure crea- tures of the law trying victims for the drys and fees for themselves.

Rhoda’s round-eyed appreciation of Oriental rugs, brocaded damask draperies, parchment shaded floor furniture, blue- kitchen, two bath- rooms, Italian cut-work lines, rose and jade taffeta bedspreads, sun lor with gayly painted wicker rniture, warmed Faith’s heart. She was still flushed with the triumph which a woman feels if her dearest possessions win un- qualified approval from another woman, no matter how humble, when Cherry came home, her arms laden with bundles after an orgy of Saturday afternoon shopping. “Hello, darling!” she sang out to Faith, who was getting Joy’s former room ready for Rhoda. “Merry Christmas!

Detroit has been listed, with other large cities, as wet and probably in habit and inclina- tion it remains so, but it defeated Mayor John W. Smith for reelection. His administration had been marked by ability and honesty. He made his campaign virtually upon the single issue of prohibition enforcement, saying that under him the city would have nothing to do with it. His opponent, John C. Lodge, a man of respected reputation, said nothing of prohi- bition or any other issue, but he was supported by the Anti-Saloon league, church organiza- tions, civic societies and the Klux. He seems to have won by a close vote. It may be that many ruodewate voters whose sympathies are not with Anti-Saloon league|: methods and purposes were not prepared to go the full length with a candidate whose platform was for an avowed disregard of law. They might not like the law or its underlying prin- ciples and yet. not be able to support a mayor cure. Thompson had a‘somewhat similar pro- “ |gram here in Chicago but he had other appeals.
