Like the horse that died of colic, the campaign orator has “Gone With the Wind.” Have you bought your duck stamps yet?—Times-Union. No; we don’t intend to duck. An exchange suggests that the kan- garoo was nature’s first abortive attempt to produce a cheer leader. There are a number of experts who can explain, in great detail, what caused the people to vote as they did. In the early puritan days it was con- sidered immodest for women to go bare- headed. O tempora, o mores! Our joy over relief from campaign oratory is somewhat abated by the thought that Congress must meet in January.

My writing is bad, but my firing is good, my Lord!” William Allen Ww hite, the Kansas edi- ! tor, bemoans the decadence of the politi- cal power of the press. His paper did its level best to work for the success of the republican party, printing volumes of edi- torial and news propaganda, but to no avail. With a smile he alluded to the vic- tory of two republican commissioners for whom he had neglected to say a few words of commendation. Postmaster General James A. Farley, upon his arrival in England on his way to Ireland, predicted a prosperity for the United States “greater than anything we have ever known.” Every American cer- tainly hopes that Mr. Farley is right, and} there are reasons on every hand to believe he is right. If we can rely upon his past predictions, which should serve as a cri- terion, we can rest assured the country will go sailing into prosperity. | month later and passed. He will A DOCTOR ON SPINACH Every once in a while we run across an item of news that merits emphasis in these columns in order that the unwary, who may have overlooked it in the ordi- nary news columns, will receive the full benefit of the revelation. Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, of the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn., recently stress- ed the fact that the same diet did not necessarily mean well for every patient. He has found, for example, that milk is not good for everybody and asserts “‘it is ‘ bad stuff for many people and actually poisonous to others.” The crowning revelation, however, pertains to spinach, which the doctor avers is not “the marvelous food we have long thought it to be.” Worse, “it isn’t digestible unless it is heavily creamed” and the body “cannot digest spinach suf- ficiently to benefit from the calcium and iron content of the vegetable.” Boys and girls having spinach ram- med down their throats might pass this clipping along to the heads of the house!

It seems to us Queen would be more appropriate, This season’s intersectional football game between St. Mary’s and Marquette was played in Chicago on a Friday night, as hot dog venders have reason to remem- ber, because vast quantities of hot dogs prepared for the occasion remained un- sold. Both schools are Catholic institu- tions, and the game naturally attracted many spectators of that faith, who do not eat meat on Friday.

Arthur Brisbane writes that it cost the city of New York $500 to record the vote of Rabbi Nathan Wolf, who is the only voter residing in the 40th election district of the 10th assembly district of that city, in a section devoted to factories and other business establishments. Johns Hopkins University, opened 60 years ago, is a monument to a entered | farm lad, who at the age of 17 entered the grocery business in Baltimore and prospered greatly, later engaging in rail- roading and banking. He gave about; eight million dollars for the founding. of & university and hospital, which are among the most famous in the world.

Recess was or- dered until December 2 when the) work of drawing a new jury to; try the three murder cases, in, which but two defendants are in-! volved, one being charged ‘with! killing a man and woman, both colored. The Dice case has been set for Monday morning, Decem-! ber 6. He will be tried first fori killing the woman, Whether or} not he ‘will be tried’ for killing’ the} man, Jiminez, will depend upon the outcome of the other case, in} which he is charged with the! murder of Mercedes Carmancha, | his former sweetheart. A movement is now under way to ask congress tor an appropria- tien ior aeepen.ng the channel in hey West harbor so that larger boats will stop here for fuel and water, as well as handling freight and passengers to and trom this port. The present plans are for the excavation of the channel to a depth of 30 feet at low tide from the harbor entrance at Fort Tay- lor to the docks of the P. and O. company. This would be a proj- ect of tremendous importance to Key West and it is believed the if enough influence is brought to bear in the right way and at the proper time. With the harbor channel deepened as proposed and excavation work done in certain other parts all vessels in the Gulf trade now passing Sand Key could shorten their voyages by passing through the harbor from the main channel to the northwest channel.
