If ye be reproached for the name
of Christ, happy are ye; for the
spirit of glory and of God resteth
upon you; on their part he is evil
spoken of, but on. your part he is
glorified.

The nearer the election, John W.
Davis comes closer to the people and
they are rallying to his support.
Money, and millions of it, won't de
feat him.
:o:
Teapot Dome and the gang that
defended the government in the oil
lease, are living issues and Dawes
and other noted speakers dare not
touch upon that question.
:o:
There was nothing in Dawes'
speech in Omaha to commend him,
and even the republicans were dis
appointed. Abuse of Senator La Fol
lette and Brookhart is his only,issue.
:o:
Borah and Kenyon believe in
purging the republican party from
within. Their adherence to Taft in
1912 was followed by the election
of Harding as the next republican
president.
:o:
Clinton Gilbert, famous Washing

fine a progressive. Easy. A progress

campaign without a slush fund.
:o:
Naturalists continue to warn U3
from time to time that, unless the
slaughter of fur-bearing animals is
stopped, their species will become
extinct. But the husbands and fath

no such luck.

Time makes peculiar changes in
economics. A faded old newspaper
reminds us that Virginia, in 1755,
fixed the salary of a clergyman at
16,600 pounds of tobacco a year. It's
a rare clergyman who gets the
equivalent today. An odd state of
affairs, that the most important
"calling" in life pays the least.
:o:
We note with some amusement
the American Bar Association re
turned a short time ago from Eng
land after presenting a statue of
Blackstone to their British col
leagues. Why they should honor a
man who sentenced two little boys
to be hanged, and a 13-year-old girl
to be burned, besides half a dozen
women to be burned for witchcraft,
is really hard to fathom. . If we are
going to erect monuments to bigots
and fanatics, let's begin at home.
:o:
We put an administration into
power in Washington, D. C, for four
years. Canada puts a party into
power until, deadlocked and unable
to win a vote of confidence, it auto
matically has to call a new election.
Thus, a party might be in power in
Canada for years or for only a few
months. But since Canada confed
erated its provinces in 1867, it has
had only 16 changes of national ad
ministrations roughly, one for ev
ery four years, like us. But it has
what might help us longer good
administrations and shorter punk
ones.
WHITE HOUSE MEMOIRS
Unless gossip is irresponsible we
have the promise of a flood of mem
oirs dealing with the White House
and its life from women who have
presided there, or who have been
conspicuous In Its social activities.
Mrs. Wilson is said to plan the
editing of the personal letters of her
husband for publication, Mrs. Hard
ing is quoted as intending to pre
pare an elaborate biography ofh er
husband in collaboration with an
experienced biographer. And most
exciting of all all the gossips do
Lsay that Alice Roosevelt Longworth
is writing her memoirs. This is un
usual, thus making it all the more
interesting.
Mrs. Taft is the first of the wom
en of the White House, we believe,
to have written memoirs. Her book
is very human and will be of real
value to future historian of the man
sion of the presidents. But no oth
er "first lady" has established a
precedent. Comparatively few of
them would have been capable of a
literary venture. Dolly Madison
could have given us a fascinating
volume of incalculable value if she
could have written but her person
tations. The only lady of the White House
in the earlier days who has left us
al letters point to her literary limi
pictures of the life there was the
daughter-in-law of John Tyler, who
was the hostess until Tyler's second
marriage, and her published letters,
to her sister are sprightly, humor
ous, very human and altogether de
lightful. But she was young, and
the life was interesting all a
drama, not vastly different from
that which ste had followed on the
stage. No one can read tnese let
ters without a regret that more
have not followed her example.

with witches, owls. Jack o'Lanterns,
etc., made by the pupils of that
room.
A scoreless game was played Sat
urday afternoon on the Weeping
Water gridiron between the grade
team of that school and the local
line-smashers. Nehawka won the
toss and chose to defend the east
goal. "Puss" kicked off thirty yards
to "Dick," the heady little Weeping
Water quarter, who was downed in
his tracks by "Jim." Our squad held
their opponents for downa and took
the ball to Weeping Watar's thirty
yard line. Line smashes, end runs
and aerial attacks failed to give eith
er side the necessary yardage for a
counter. When the last quarter start
ed, "Dick's" eleven had the ball
within six yards of Nehawka's goal
and had three trials to put it over,
but they met an invincible defense
and were thrown for losses and
downs. When our gridsters took the
ball they had nearly the entire
length of the field to cover in four
minutes of play. The ball was lug
ged for continual gains but the time
keeper's whistle was blown before
the Weeping Water goal line could
be crossed. The game was scheduled
on last minute notice so a few of the
regulars for each side were not in
moleskins. The boys wish to take
this opportunity to thank those who
were instrumental in conveying the
team to our neighboring town.
Friday evening eleven Home Eco
nomics girls and their teacher, Miss
Greenhalgh entertained themselves
at a six o'clock dinner at the school
house. Hazel Carper acted the part
of host and Isadore Stone hostess
and we must say they acted the
part admirably well except at times
they weren't quije as dignified a3
you might expect a father and moth
er to be. The menu was made up
of crisp fried chicken, creamy mash
ed potatoes, gravey, cheese balls,
tempting salad, fluffy buns, jelly and
butter and following this goupe sun
daes, chocolate cake and angel food.
The table was attractively decorat
ed in fall flowers. Clever place cards
described the guest or told some se
cret of hers at her place. Miss Green
halgh would surely make a good se
cret detective some of the eirls
think. Extemporaneous speeches were
called for by the hostess and some
of the subjects responded to were
"Nuts," "Dorothy's Present," "Chick
ens." 'Jelly," "Spoon" and several
others. After the dinner Hazel and
Velma entertained us with some very
good music. A mad scramble follow
ed to see who would get to wash the
dishes and clean the kitchen. We ad
vise you to place your own construc
tion on the above sentence however.
Every one had such a good time that
we hope many more such pleasant
occasions may be enjoyed this year.
It is just as disastrous to live be
yond 3'our reputation a3 beyond your
means.
COOLIDGE ON
Speaking of official corruption and the betrayal of the people during
the republican administration, President Coolidge, In his speech to the
Associated Press in New York on April 22, said:
"BUT THE WONDER IS NOT THAT THIS (CORRUPTION) IS SO
MUCH AND SO MANY (CORRUPTIONISTS) ; RATHER THAT IT IS SO
LITTLE AND SO FEW."
Considering the privilege-seeking environment of the administration,
the organized greed allied with the republican party and pressing for en
riching favors through robber tariffs, concessions and deals in natural re
sources, and the easy attitude of all the members of the administration to
ward schemes of profit and plunder at the expense of the people, Mr. Cool
idge Is right in saying that it Is wonder, not that there is so much corrup
tion, but that corruption was not greater and the corruptionists more nu
merous.
Mr. Coolidge himself was a member of the administration, and sat in
the senate and the cabinet meetings while the corruption, disgraceful
abuses in office and betrayal of the
remark, his complacent conduct toward officials involved in the oil scandal
and towards the disgraceful mess in
tance to dismiss officials tainted by
posing their scandalous conduct in
litical honestly. There is no reflection on his own personal honesty. But
his attitude and utterances show that he does not feel, as all honest men
ought to feel, the outrage of republican
an administration that is only 70 per
Are the American people morally
official corruption? Are they willing
whose indignation is aroused at the
not at the misconduct itself?
LIGHTS ON THE SLUSH FUNDS
Mr. La Follette prepared his way
well when he secured the adoption
by the senate of the resolution pro
viding for a special committee to in
vestigate campaign funds and expen
ditures for the purpose of publicity
before election. The evidence which
he read before his Scranton, Pa.,
audience beyond doubt justifies him
now in the demand that the com
mittee on campaign publicity be
called together and that it subpoena
some of the known money bags of
the republican party now collecting
a huge mud to elect Coolidge and
evading public scrutiny by handling
the money outside the national com
mittee. Honest men of all parties must
stand with La Follette in the posi
tion that "It is vital that the Ameri
can people know before election day
exactly what the money interests
are doing to influence their decision
at the polls." Slemp, the patronage
broker secretary to the president, W.
T. Mellon and Chairman Butler are
quick to give the lie to La Follette's
expressed suspicions based on a pub
lic letter and a New York Times
news dispatch. But if La Follette is
wrong these men should welcome a
thorough Investigation. It is high
ly interesting to note that the Grun
dy letter, speaking for the group of
capitalists handling funds to elect
Coclicige, opposes not only the elec
tion of La Follette and Wheeler, "a
Lenine and Trotzky, with a formid
able band of followers made up of
the vicious, ignorant and discon
tented element," whose election is
generally conceded to be unlikely,
but it would be dissatisfied with
such a liberal, progressive champion
of honest government as John W.
Davis. Any government that re
buffs privilege is chaos to privilege.
