Will History Repeat Itself?
'1
..
From an Article by Charles Phelps Cushing, In Leslie’s Weakly.
If history should repeat itself, as It has a way of doing, it is quite possi
ble, for example, that for tbp next 40 years, beginning with the presidential
campaign of 1924, only one candidate without a military record may suc
ceed in getting residence in the White House. And the officd of the presi
dency is chosen here only as the most conspicuous token of the governmental
Influence that a powerful association of war veterans can wield. “Absurd!”
you think? Particularly in a pacifist nation?
But it happened once before, and not so long ago. It also might happen
again if the American Legion should choose to emulate the G. A. R. So let’s
suppose. For the moment let’s try to forget all party labels and personal
likes and dislikes—for' the writer has no purpose here but to suggest a par
allel from history. What would you say to the possibility of such a presi
dential succession as follows:
V
General Pershing .. „.tym term*
General Wood. ......one term
General Edwards . .one term
General Dawes...one term
A Civilian .».on* term
U. S. Grant, 3rd ... one term
That Civilian again. one term
A DouBhboy Major.two term* «
A Cavalry Colonel .......two term*
That fanciful parallel, as you soon shall see, is drawn cloudy from tho
records of the line of presidents of the United States for the 40 years from
1868 to 1908. The presidential administration immediately following tho *
close of the civil war found an ex-state governor, who never had served as a
soldier, sitting In the chief executive’s chair. “Even as today”—but one hes
itates to draw the parallel between Andrew Johnson and Warren Harding
any closer than that. Mr. Harding, good natured as he is, would have a
perfect right to protest.
Note next that from the close of Johnson’s administration until 1908
there were 12 presidential inaugural ceremonies. Ten times in those 40 yeara
the oath of office was taken by war veterans. The one man who succeeded
in breaking through that long succession of ex-service men was Grover
Cleveland.
No one else, in that 40 years after the war, became president without tha
support of the G. A. R.—an organization which, at the crest of its enrollment
(In 1890) numbered only 409,781. This total, please note, Is less than half
the present strength of the young American Legion. Hereinafter follows, if
your memory needs refreshing, the list of presidents of the United States
for those 40 years:
Ulysses S. Grant, general of the armies of the United States: two
terms.
Rutherford B. Hayes, brigadier (brevet major general) ;«ne term.
James Abram Garfield, major general; one term.
Chester Aian Arthur, Quartermaster general; one term.
Grover Cleveland, civilian; one term. >
Benjamin Harrison, colonel (brevet brigadier general); one term.
Grover Cleveland, civilian; one term.
William McKinley, captain (brevet major); two terms.
Theodore Roosevelt, colonel; two terms.
So perhaps our notion of the potential political power of an organize;
tion of ex-service men is not so silly as it sounds.
KEEPING FEET WARM.
From tjie beginning of winter until the
tnilder weather of spring a fairly largo
part of the people will complain of cold
feet and hands.
Among these will be the old, who will
be told that their thick wall blood vea
«els cannot carry enough blood to their
extremities to keep those members
warm, or that their hearts have not
enough force to keep an ample supply
of warm blood In the suburbs.
Among them will be some who are
said t-> be cold nalured, and, lastly,
there will be a group who have Ray
naud's disease or some cousins of that
disease.
There are some people whoose blood
vessels are enough diseased to cause cold
feet, but they are very few.
There are others with heart disease,
who have mottled skin on their ankles
and some dropsy of the legs, and they
clearly have a right to complain of cold
feet.
But the great majority of those who
complain of cold, feet and hands are
troubled because of vasomotor disturb
ance. There are nerve cells and nerve
fibers which enlarge lessen the size
of certain blood vessels ana In that way
settle whether more or less blood is to
go to the head, the liver, the feet, or the
hands.
Wherever more blood goes, there heat
will be. Wherever less blodd goes, there
will be relative cold.
When it comes to the matter of com
fort the vasomotor system has more to
do with conditions than all else com
bined.
Unfortunately, we know far less about
influencing this vasomotor apparatus
and, therefore, determining comfort,
than we do about controlling consump
tion and wiping out yellow fever.
However, there are a few simple pro
cedures which we know help in keeping
the feet comfortable in cold weather, and
at least one acts through tho vasomptor
system.
If the feet are disagreeably cold, we
can warm them up by exercise, or by
breathing deeply. Thirty deep breaths,
one right after the other, will warm up
the feet and hands, and make the face
turn red. Unfortunately, old people
sometimes complain that this exercise
makes teem dizzy. Stamping the feet,
walking fast, or running Is effective.
This exercise must be kept up to be
effective. When the heart begins to feel
the effects, there will be an Impulse to
stop, but this must not be followed, since
Just this feeling Is proof that the rem
edial forces are turning up.
In the discomfort from cold feet which
old people feel, the lack of force of the
heart and the thickening of the vessels
Is less of a factor than is deficiency of
grease in the skin.
Greasing the legs, feet and hands will
go a long way toward making old people
comfortable In cold weather. It took the
world war to teach us the value of
grease for old or young In keeping the
feet warn: In bitterly cold weather.
To prevent trench feet, Barratte had
the men dip their shoes frequently in
warm grease. They were required to
unlace th-ir shoes for 16 minutes twice
dally.
The Italians prevented and cured chil
blains by wrapping the feet in a mixture
of 93 parts pure tallow and four parts
pure lard, to which was added seven
parts of a mixture of one part salicy^c
acid, three parts aspic essence, three
parts oil of lemon and five parts lard.
I.eonard Hill says that frozen feet
should not be quickly warmed. They
should be kept elevated, uncovered, cool
and free to move.
A
The Deemster’s Oath.
From the Christian Science Monitor.
C. T. Cal'ow and F. La Mathe, on their
recent appointment as deemsters of the
Isle of Man, took the following oath:
"Bv this Book and by tjie holy contents
thereof and by the wonderful works thgt
God hath miraculously wrought In
heaven above and In the earth beneath
In six .jUys and seven nights. I swear
that I will without respect of favor or
friendship, love or consanguinity, or af
finity, envy, or malice, execute the laws
of the land jdstly betwixt our sovereign
lord the kir.g and his subjects within this
lalo as between party and party as in
differently as the herring bone doth lie
In the mldd'e of the fish.” The wording
appears quaint In the present day, but,
looked at dispassionately, there are
points In it that could not be Improved
upon. It at my rate shows that those
who drew It up had some knowledge of
the pitfalls that were to be voided by
peoule in authority.
Organized Bigotry.
From the Chicago Tribune.
About a month ago the House if
Representatives, at the Insistence of tihe
Rev. Wilbur F. Crafts, congressional
lobbyist for blue laws, passed an
amendment to the postal laws which
would deny the use ol jhe mails to any
publication of any kind or any mall
of any kind containing tips or betting
odds on any contest of speed, strength
or skill.
The House of Representatives passed
It. but less than a fifth of the member
ship was present and no previous con
sideration had been given it In either
committee or on the floor. Mr. Crafts
Is watchful. The opportunity was pre
sented. Representative Walsh offered
the amendment and after a few words
of discussion it was adopted.
The Senate judiciary committee has
hung the amendment up, deciding to
put It over until next session, and Mr.
Crafts and his supporters are angry.
In this particular case It Is the
method more than the objective which
causes protest. The government properly
regulates the use of the malls against
forms of gambling, such as lotteries,
but the Rev. Mr. Crafts would make
the regulation a tyranny. It would be
Impossible, except In a whisper, for a
resident of Columbus, Ohio, legally to
tell a resident of Urbana, 111* that Ohio
State was a two to one shot over the
University of Illinois. If that were writ
ten in a letter the person writing It
might be given five years In the peni
tentiary and $5,000 fine.
It is beginning to appear that the
movement led by Mr. Crafts is as
bigoted and as savage In its purpose as
those which we thought were buried In
the semtbarbarous past,
Henry M. Butzel and Levy Mayer,
bloodhounds of the law, discussed
terseness. "In these days of worry,”
said Butzel, "our clients are terser
than we are. A silk man appealed
to his banker, almost weeping, ‘the
silk business Is terrible. You must
let me have more money.’ The bank
er replied, ‘not a dollar, you are into
us too deep already.’ ‘Were you ever
In the silk business?’ the silk man
asked. ‘Never,’ replied the banker.
•Well, you’re In It now, goodbye.’
Bankers will see the point. Many are
In a dozen businesses and they wish
they were not.
A drop of $1,000,000 a month in the
postal savings banks of big cities is
a bad sign. For that kind of saving,
as Postmaster Hays well knows, is
the most important In the country.
It comes from the most careful class
and from those that have absolute
confidence In their government. And
It Is a saving made In spite of all
possible discouragement.
The government, which has hither
to thought more about private own
ers of banks than of the saving peo
ple, has done all that It could to dis
courage Its own saving bank. Mr.
Hays will change that situation, if
congress will let him.
Adrian, Mich., will decide this
question: What shall be done to a
woman guilty of killing the new born
child of her unmarried daughter, to
save that daughter from disgrace?
That will figure in birth control
discussion. Those advocating birth
control will say it would have saved
the mother of the young woman from
a trial for murder. Those that op
pose birth control say, which is true,
that an occasional trial for murder,
however distreoslng, is not as bad as
legalizing a system that would make
immorality safe by removing a conse
quence and penalty established by
Providence.
The Question of course is: Would
Immorality spread if fear of conse
quences were removed?.
To answer "yes” Is not to put a
high estimate on woman’s charac
ter.

COTTON CROh IN AUSTRALIA
Show* Fin* Staple In Pod, Though
Growing Almost Wild In tho
Northern Territory.
Cotton in Australia has been found
Bhowlng a very fine staple In the pod,
though growing almost wild in the
northern territory. Queensland Is
leading the way thoroughly and well
in this matter. Expert and official
opinion holds that a large portion of
Western Australia is as suitable for
cotton production as Queensland.
Queensland Is setting the pace. Last
year 7,000 acres were under crop; this
year the area is estimated between
80,000 and 100,000 acres. In two of Its
subtropical districts 3,000,000 acres are
being opened up under the cotton pro
pects and 200,000 acres In another. The
government Is guaranteeing a mini
mum price of 5^4d (11 cents) per
pound for seed cotton. If cultivation
responds the guarantee holds good for
three years. The British Australian
cotton association is helping with the
erection of 48 ginneries. America de
mands more cotton; Great Britain is
hungering for it. The world is look
ing for It. If Germany restores her
prewar Industry, then clearly the
world’s demand for some considerable
time will be far ahead of the supply.
Here is another golden opportunity for
