Modern smokers have an experienced taste that quickly learns to know good tobaccos. Camel is their favorite, because they recognize in it the choicest tobaccos grown, blended to brlrj out their exquisite taste and fragrance. Camel has rvc - ifs way to the top in the hardest-to-please age ever l:rn n . cause it has the qualities of goodness that make sme'ri - .caure. You will revel in the enjoyment of these c .- . t ;.

Of course not. He intended, some time, probably, to go into the shoe business. :o: JOYOUS AIMEE Aimee McPherson and her mother, Mrs. Kennedy, are now engaged in a terrific feud over the management cf Angelus Temple. It is described in the dispatches as open warfare. It seems Aimee kicked Mrs. Kennedy out of temple affairs, and Mrs. Ken nedy retorted with charges that her daughter is cruel, un-Christian-like and a falsifier. Upon hearing this, Aimee, unable for the moment to think of a fitting counterblast, faint ed. In addition to the quarrel with her mother, Aimee is confronted with a dtmand from some of her congrega tion that she explain the famous kid naping incident. Altogether, things are in a deuce of a mess. In order to give point to the mat ter, Aimee. as you may remember, is the Titian-haired performer who ar rived in Alton some weeks ago for the express purpose of putting joy into religion. - :c: MORE HOKUM TO EXPOSE In the general mania for reformers to attempt reforming, it is surprising that no righteous group of yogi and, swami has ever gone after the ladies and gents of the fortune telling fra ternity. The flourish unlicensed all over the land, fleecing innocent mil lions of their hard earned simoleons. Fortune telling with cards, with crystals, with wishbones, by reading the stars, reading the palms, and by reading the bumps on the head, goes on unchecked through man's and woman's insatiable sucker complex. If we persist in superstition, it seems but reasonable that the state should profit as well as the quack readers of the future. A good stiff license fee act would do the trick nicely, and in short order should drive all the experts in futurity to the tall timbers. Of all the malig nant parisites on the human race, the genus fortune teller is the most vir ulent. Turkish tboMjSSTTa: I MOSES PROPOUNDS A PUZZLER. Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire, the president pro tem pore of the senate, has long been noted for his candor. He speaks out in meeting, and generally with pun gent directness. It is not surpris ing, therefore, to read that Moses has come back from a tour of the West with the report that it harbors a "vigorous opinion" against a third term for President Coolidge. In this respect he affords a noticeable con trast with the great majority of his fellow Republican statesmen, who, whatever may be their secret hopes and beliefs, proclaim in public that the country is clamoring for Mr. Coolidge's re-election. Tlie Post-Dispatch believes that the diagonsis of the Senator from New Hampshire is correct. But it believes equally that the senator is a prophet deserving of honor when he says that if the president wants a renomination he can get it. Any republican president, barring the rankest of scandal in his administra tion, can so intrench himself in power through use of his patronage resources and through his command of the Southern delegates as to se cure himself of reuomination. Even President Taft, in the face of the determined Roosevelt movement of 1912, was able to do this. And who is there in the Republican party to day who is able to lead a comparable insurrection against Coolidge? The Rough Rider of the Black Hills;, we may be sure, has his polit ical fences in good order. Nobody can stop him if he decrees his own selec tion as the Republican standard bear er for 192S. But is there not some thing calculated to give him pause in the third thesis of the New Hamp shire senator, namely, that the price of his renomir.ation and re-election "might be a sullenly accepted admin istration, which could bode no good to the president, the republican party or the country?" Mr. Coolidge. with all his recent penchant for putting on the habili ments of the Deadshot Dicks and the Alkali Ikes of the Great Open Spaces, is notoriously a cautious man. Will he court the risk which the astute Moses has called to his attention? St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: WHAT IS A GENTLEMAN? Margot Asquith, wife of a former British prime minister, is a sharp seeing woman who has a penchant for writing books and saying things in them that get her into a peck of trouble. The latest sophistry attributed to her ironical wit is the statement that very few ladies are gentlemen. The implication is that even the most re fined women are still inclined to cat tiness and nastinesa that is not noticed in gentlemen. As proof of this assertion, it might be mentioned that Margot Osquith's remark is one of the cattiest things ever said. Man, fearful of his own soul in the presence of the female of the species, dares only lapse into silence when such issue as these are brought up for conversation in mixed com pany. He can, however, shift the subject to a discussion of what makes a gentleman, of what is a gentleman. According to the scholar, no man is a gentleman who cannot read Latin and Greek. According to the eastern society debutante, a gentle man is a nice looking boy who went to Harvard, Yale, or Princeton, and has at least $15,000 a year income. Christopher Marlowe said that the devil was a gentleman. Gold smith wrote that a gentleman was the chief work of a barber. Emerson asserted that repose and cheerfulness were the badges of a gentleman. Coolidge declared that religion was the most gentlemanly thing in the world' but F. Scott Fitzgerald's j characters swore tnat a gentleman must know how to hold his licker. Opinions and definitions, it is seen, differ. Women today read Greek, and Latin, can attend classes at Har- j vard and Yale at least, have been known to have $15,000 a year, have , devils, angels, worn badges of repose and cheerfulness, been worked on by. barbers, and held their licker. J By any such test as these, women i are in every sense as gentlemanly as men. :o:- 0C0TAL AND AMRITSAR We note that Gen. Reginald E. Dyer, former commander of British troops in India and author of the Amritsar in 1919, that several hun dred civilians were killed at Dyer's order. The general, however, did not succumb without the knowledge that others are carrying on the ruthless tradition of conquest with which he is so indissolubly identified. At least, we presume that he heard all about Ocotal, the American version of Am ritsar, before he died. A riattsmouth man returned from his vacation at Winnipeg the other day. He said he had a fine time; the place where he camped was only two blocks from a brewery. They don't draw a 600 foot deadline around the breweries during the tourist season up there. The reason he didn't get any closer, we understand, is that a lot of other tourists get there ahead of him. ORDER OF HEARING and Notice on Petition for Set tlement of Account.
