Ss ca Gubernatorial Amenities The older generation will recall the historic observation of the governor of the old north state to the governor of the old south state. Time == has moved on and now the present generation will later recall another gubernatorial felicita tion by the governor of Wyoming directed to the governor of Texas, “What are you going to wear at the inauguration?” These gentlemen will no longer be recognized with Republican places on senate standing com- mittees or be invited to participate in Republican party conferences or caucuses. The resolution, which reflected the attitude of the party as expressed by the majority mem- bership of the senate body was brief and to the point and read as follows: “Resolved, that it be the sense of gye confer- ence that Senators LaFollette, Ladd, Brookhart and Frazier be not invited to future conferences and be not named to fill any Republican vacan- cies on senate committees.” This removes from the Republican rolls fout arch political traitors, who have been masquer- ading under the cfoak of Republican respect- ability before their constituents, while for sev- eral years past have stabbed the party in the ‘back at every opportunity and have given aid and comfort to the common enemy of Republican- ism—the opposition party. be Republicans: throughout the nation who are loyal to the party and its cause will rejoice at the action of the senate conference. Now let the hell-raisers go to it on their own account and see how far they will get. Off the party reservation and away from its protecting influence, these political outlaws will last just as long as it requires some Indian to get his hand on his tomahawk and perform a neat job of scalping. _+ Taming the Tiger Forty offenders caught in a gambling raid! It seems like quite a lot. And liquor too, sold in a dozen different places in open fashion, so all who desire can purchase freely. That seems equally strange. How is it possible for men to equip places elab- orately for these two forbidden industries with- out exciting suspicion on the part of the author- ities charged with the suppression of such mat- ters? That’s what bothers most folks to compre- hend and gives rise to talk of collusion. There has lately been a lot of loose talk of pro- tection and immunity afforded certain individ- uals. It is scarcely to be credited that officers of the law have gone into partnership with gam- blers and bootleggers, yet appearances at times are against the officers by reason,of the assur- Plugging Right Along ‘ In financial circles business is not “as usual.” Tt is much better. Since -the election the New York Stock Exchange has witnessed a market in which an average of more than 2,000,000 shares a day have been transferred. In one y there were: sales of 575 different stocks—industrial, rails and other hed securiti This is believed to be the widest range the market has ever known in a single day. For a time the ticker was thirty minutes behind the market. The gen- eral situation so far as America is concerned is more substantial and propitious than it been for years. has Salvaging Politicians London has opened a school to teach useful trades to politicians. There are a lot of small bore political workers in gland who do not appear ¢ ‘le of doing anything of real serv- ice to their families. By the same token we might have a reerniting station in this country for dis- carded politicians. If they can be ‘once blasted free of thei political environment they are fre- quently capable of honest work. Schools for re- formed politicians may serve this useful purpose Otherwise they are likely to drift into burglary and bootlegging. ’ Flouted Again Entrance into the league of nations is about as dead in the United States as any issue could be; nevertheless, events in Europe sometimes arouse American interest in league affairs. The Jeague was wholly ignored in the controversy between Great Britain and Egypt, although the situation was precisely such as the league was intended to handle and as each of its members is obligated to refer to it. Imagine the position of the United States were it a member. Unless we were to treat the covenant as a scrap of paper, American warships would be rushed to the Mediterranean to protect Egypt against war- like British aggressioys, thereby forfeiting friendship with Great Britain. Happily we are free from such entanglements, and intend to re main so. Next to Godliness Our people are using twen' ive per cent more soap for bathing purposes, according to reports ef manufacturers. Five years ago the average family used forty cakes a year. Now fifty cakes are used. In the same period the country has changed from a Democratic to a Republican government. The two facts are closely related. One is symbolic of the other. As a man’s pros perity increases so does his self-respect. When- ever Republicans gain the ‘endency over the party of “the great unwashed,” soap sales as- cend. Upon examination one will discover that the curves of soap production and well-being of the Republican party have been intimately associated. Will Run His Own Job The inquirer who is concerned ag to the prob- ability of President Coolidge dictating the or- ganization of one or both houses of congress, may be set down as a poor observer. Mr. Coolidge has many times given convincing evidence of his disposition to attend to his own business, and attend to it well. Tle has shown equal skill in letting other people’s business alone. As chief executive of the greatest nation on earth he has neral supervision of ten administrative depart ments—a job plenty big enough for a one man, Besides he is charged with the duty of report- ing to congress once each year on the state of the union,” and making recommendation as to need. ed legislation. In addition ,be has something like a dozen independent commissions and bu reaus more or less subject to his directions, or whose personnel he must determine. He has thousands of appointments to make in the ad- ministrative branch of the government. He has taken the lead in the great task of reducing ex- penses. All this gives him plenty to do without irying to organize the house and senate—a re- sponsibility which the constitution places upon the membership of the two houses, respectively. And Coolidge is a great believer in the constitu- tion. Expelled for Truancy Republicans in the United States senate have cleaned house. It is an act that the country will approve. The house-cleaning, however, the sixty-ninth congress and does not present last session of the sixty-eighth congress, nor disturb 7 ent committee, assignments, Senators excommunicated, as everybody would guess, are LaFollette of Wisconson, Ladd and Frazier of North Dakota and Brookhart of Iowa. ance with which gambling and liquor offenders go about their nefarious practices. It would seem that officers of the law, would be the last persons to rest patiently under any been ready to show. Leadership of World ‘What a generous and truly inspir- ing tribute to the genius of America ed by Sir Auckland Geddes, former British ambassador to this country, on Armistice day before that great British audience in London! Speak- ing of the Eritish dominions, Auckland said: “They look upon the government at Washington as of their own gen- eration, and anyone who knows what the people of our sister domin- jons are thinking knows that some of them, particularly those who look out upon the Pacific, feel that in Washington there is an instinctive understanding of difficulties, which, when they’ come to London, they have laboriously to explain in Down- ing street.” " And he went on to say that~often when those dominions look to Eng- land there js no sympathetic answer, no understanding, and they look to ‘Washington. And Washington “looks back with inviting eyes.” All of which shows that Sir Auck- land's residence in this country gave him a pretty thorough understand- ing of the cordial feeling which, for example, exists between Canada and the United States, particularly along “that invisible border lne, which" as he says, “the people of the two countries pass and repass and. play games with one another without of the difference For years we have known that.the heart of Canada is with us. Some- thing ‘more than mere propinquity has*taught us that-that. There has been and always will be every evi- dence of good will, of mutual under- standing and of trustful faith on both sides. That there was a pas- sage of arnfs or two between the two countries over a century ago has been forgotten. We havé shown such an attitude of disinterested- ness in all our dealings with Can- ada that we have disarmed suspicion as to possible ulterior motives on our part.

Stone that the German dye patents, which were seized during the world war and sold for a trifle by the Alien Prop- erty. Custodian, had merely been “sold to themselves” is but another proof of how the American people Should anybody say that the great- est names in the Federalist annals were Washington, Hamilton and Marshall, it would be hard to dis- prove it. If one should say that Jefferson, the leader: Madison, the constitutional lawyer; and Jackson, the soldier were the greatest Demo- crats, the claim might pass undis- ‘puted. If tt should Be said that Bun- yan, Defoe and Franklin were the masters par excellence of the Eng: ish that a child or an illiterate can understand, we do not know. that their equals could be- found. Now, with these names before us we take it for granted that the three names most honored by free-traders are Adam Smith, the eighteenth cen- tury philosopher; John Stauart Mill, the nineteenth century logician and Richard Cobden, the legislator and publicist. If there are on that side any superior. intellects they must have plushed unseen “and wasted their sweetness on the«desert air. “Elaborate ceremonies marked the ‘A speaker defined a pessimist as one who saw failure in every opportunity —and an optimist who saw opportu- nity in every. failure.

These articles give the impres- sion that the recent eléction resulted in a great overturn of memberships in the house of repre- sentatives and that the centrol of the remainin; session of this congress will belin the hands 0: men who b:.ve-been repudiated at the polls. An examination of the results of the election will hardly bear out such a theory. There are 435 members of the house of repre- sentatives, and in the new congress there will be but 82 new members. That is, less than 20 per cent of the members in the new house will be serving their first terms. But even these figures do not accurately repre- sent the change in membership due to repudia- tion of men who serve in the present congress. Some of those who were not returned at the re- cent election voluntarily retired before the pri- maries because of advancing age, ill health, or because of a desire to re-enter private business, Some of them retired from the house in order to become candidates for vacancies in the sen- ate. When these exceptions are made the election results indicate that only about 50 members were defeated by their cor tuencies and some one else elected in their place. This is not a large number considering the fact that in most states the incumbent must go through two elections—- the contest in the primaries for the nomination and then the general election. So far as the election was a repudiation of members of the pregent congress, that repudia- tion affected chiefly the Democrats. A summing up of the result shows that as compared with the present congr the Republicans will have 21 more members in the next congress while the Democrats will have 23 less. The third party gains two members. If Democrats and Republicans stood on an equality in the matter of elections, the change would undoubtedly be eyen greater to the disad- vantage of the Democrats. As is well known, there is practically only one election in the solid south—the primaries. The man who wins in the Democratic primaries in any one of the southern states is practically assured ‘an election. As a consequence, there are comparatively few changes in membership in that section of the country. The incumbent is practically. free from any crit- icism of his official record from the opposition party. In Alabama and Arkansas, for instance, there was not a single change in the house mem. bership in the recent elections. In Mississippi there was only one; in Louisiana one; in Vir- ginia one, and in Texas none. The state in which there was the largest num- ber of changes in membership was Vest Virginia. Only one of the present members will be back in the next congress. The changes were not all due to defeat of present members, however, for some of the present members were not candidates | for re-election. In the present West Virginian delegation there are four Democrats and two Re- publicans, while in the next delegation from that state there will be five Republicans and one Democrat. This is of special interest because West Virginia is the home state of Davis, the Democratic nominee for president. Another state in which there were numerous changes wus New Jersey, where the Democrats have six-of the present members but will have only two of the twelve in the next congress. The states in which thefe was not a single change in house membership for any cause are, Alabama, Ay enne, Arkansas, Colorado, Idahe, Maine, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, New Mex- ico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyo- ming. This record does not indicate a control of congress by “lame ducks.” The American people are spending a couple of billions of dollars for pleasure per annum. It is feared that some of them are not getting their money's worth. We are informed that it was the women that chased the men out of the saloons, and now they are driving them out of the barber shops, There seems to be only one way for the men to retaliate und that is to pack the churches, will stand before the world as a les- son in national good will, which, if it existed everywhere, would insure Peace to all mankind. our standpoint is true in a general way of all British dominions. and in a certain sense it is true of all the And what is true of Canada from nations of earth. So it is no wonder that an accredited spokesman for Great Britain frankly admits that American thought profoundly. influ- ences the people of that country and that they are willing to share with America the leadership of the world in the work designed for the high- est services to humanity. This incident only serves to. sar! the trend of international relations since the World war. Politically, Canada’ is a Brit'sh dominion; but her people are as closely allléd in thelr affections to this country as to Great Britain. And it would seem that John Bull is inclined to be a bit Jealous. When he sees’ the heart of Canada inclining toward the neighbor south of the border he realizes that he must do something to render himself more attractive to his lovely daughter of the snows. A friendly. rivalry between John Bull and Uncle Same is not dis: pleasing to Canada; and perhaps she has smiles enough to content both. Life and Intellect Aside from the fantastic state- ments of pseudo-scientists, what we have’ been reading from time to time of late about how man has been extending the lmits of his life and usefulness would seem’to be sub- stantiated by certain outstanding facts. Take, for example, the won- derful mental agility of. Charles Eliot, president -emeritus of Har- yard, who recently published a marrowy book of reminis sand essays, all written during the ninth decade of his life. In this book, which Dr. Blot calls “A Late Har- vest,’ we are afforded rare glimpses of Emerson, Lowell,. Holmes and others. The volume attests’ the essential sanity and versatility of a ™man who has been called the great- est leader of American thought. There is 2 modernity and Iiberglity in such chapters as “The Advan- tages of Poor Men's Sons,” “Pro- hibition” and “The Woman That Will Survive,” such as many a younger man might well envy. That a man need not let his mental or physical powers wane after he has passed 70 is shown in the case of Burbank, who is making valuable experiments in plant life at 75; in that of Edison, now 7%, whose laboratory work shows little decrease in intensity of volume; in Chauncey Depew, who says his mind is as clear at 90 as it was 60 and his body as free from aflment. Dr, Eliot reached his 80th mile- stone in March, 1924, since which time his literary labors have been prodigious. The mere list of the titles of his writings during the past a ‘s filla nine pages of book print, and their perusal is enough to shame the author who, at 65 or 70, lays down his pen and awaits “the inevitable hour.” ‘There are several bright examples of nen and women of the intellectual Ufe who did not begin real literary labor until they had arrived at 60. Among these was William DeMor- gan, author of “Alice-for-Short” and other widely read novels. Thén titere was the father of W. 8. Gil- bert, the famous Ibrettist. The elder Gilbert did not begin to write until he was over 60, when, piqued by his son's success in a kind of literature that the father .frankiy despised, hs published book after book until he had written long rows of volumes on all sorts of solid sub- jects, the mere titles of which are said to occupy two pages of the Insurance Co.

It is worthy of note that he pointed out the superiority of a good home market to the dreams of a foreign one. No single of the Democratic politicians who pictured the present Reputilican ad- ministration as a cesspool of iniquity and the administration of Wilson as one of spotless purity.
