Tammany Hall, ancient* profitable
political Institution of New York, is
puxslsd, following the death of its
chief, Murphy.
Under ordinary circumstances, Mr.
A1 Smith, who for years has been
real boss of Tammany Hall, would
na: a new chief to work under his
orders.
But A1 Smith at this moment is a
candidate for the presidency. He is
taking the thing seriously. And, for
reasons that will be understood west
of Hoboken, A1 Smith doesn't want
to be tied up too closely with Tam
many. That isn't exactly ingratitude.
It is true that A1 Smith has been in
Tammany all his life, and has made
every dollar that he has through
Tammany, and got every office that
he ever got through Tammany. But
in politics it's necessary to forget.
And it is only reasonable caution for
A1 Smith, as presidential candidate,
to cross to tho other side of the street
and look vague when the Tammany
tiger nods to him.
All England’s art critics, and hall
the population of the British Islands,
are discussing a portrait of the king
by Charles Sims, In the royal acad
emy. Some critics say “the face
lacks dignity.” Others say "the legs
lack character.” The artist admits
that somebody, not the king “posed
for the legs."
Just why a king's legs have more
character than other legs Is not stat
ed. The interesting thing to us proud,
republican sovereigns is that Eng
lishmen discuss a portrait of their
king more earnestly than they ever
discuss the king himself.
Viewed from this distance, King
George seems a pretty good sort of
king. The things that he does not
do are at least as Important as those
he does. He sets a good example
and doesn’t interfere with the British
government, which Is really demo
cratic, closer to the people and more
within the people’s control than our
own government, for Instance.
- !
King George Is guided to a large
extent—as all men ought to be—by
his wife, a sensible woman, who
wears dresses of the old kind, high
shoes that button «p, and that don’t
'.ook like a gilded harness for a Shet
land pony.
It Isn’t necessary to read the fable
of King Stork and King Log .to
realize that the British are fortunate
In the character of their king.

Henry Ford refuses to discuss his
Muscle Shoals proposition in Wash
ington. You don’t blame hfoii. He
wrote out his proposition which
would have given more l*ian $200,
000,000 to the government. The Sen
ate has had the written offer for two
years and ought to know what Is In
It by this time.
Most of the opposition to Henry
Ford Is the opposition of grafters
that would like to get government
property without giving anything real
in exchange for It. But some of the
opposition Is sincere. It Includes the
opposition of Senator Norris, an
ean/^est, honest and able man. Sena
tor Norris’ opposition Is courageous,
inasmuch as the farmers will hold
him responsible for the final result.
A nervous young woman, called the
“bobbed hair bandit," Is sent to Jail
for from 10 to 20 years. She warns
young girls to be good, saying, "my
heart is breaking In me.”
The young lady made experiments
in mob psychology. With a small
pistol, usually not loaded, not even
“cocked,” she would “stick up” a
store and all the people In it, rob
them at her leisure, and depart.
She will spend at leagt 10 years In
one prison, her young husband will
spend from 10 to 20 years In another
prison.
Our civilization doesn’t know what
else to do with criminals, and per
haps there isn’t anything else to do
but lock them up and make them
live abnormally In vile surroundings.
They come out feeling they have a
Just grudge against society, and per
haps Supremo Justice would agree
with them.
Is there nothing better to he done
with criminals, young and old, than
locking them In a stone prison for
a certain number of years? Does
that in the long run do more good or
harm? Dees It reform or frighten the
criminal? Does It keep others from
committing crime? Or does It train
professional criminals, who, la their
turn, train other criminals?
News from Washington says Pres
ident Coolidge will shield the nation
from "blocs” in congress by the firm
use of the veto. This refers probably,
and unfortunately, only to such blocs
as venture to unite In favor of tho
farmer, labor, etc.
There Is only one Important "bloc"
in congress and that is the corpora
tion bloc.
President Coolidge will find plenty
of opportunities to use his veto on
that corporation bloc.
It Is never asleep, never Idle, and It
gets what It wants, whether It be
higher freight rates, oil lands set
aside for the navy or some deal with
Europe that will feather tho nest of
international bankers.
Edward Jackson, Indorsed by the
Ku Klux Klan in Indiana, has swept
the state for the governorship nomi
nation. He got more votes than all
five of the other candidates put to
gether. Lew Shank, mayor of In
dianapolis, most Important candidate
against Jackson and enemy of the
klan, was wiped out 10 to 1.
This election is Important outside
of Indiana, and indicates that the Ku
Klux Klan nae gained rather than
lost strength, and will play an im
portant part in the coming national
election.
Canada Sets Good Example in
Eliminating Tariff Barriers
Prom Chicago Journal of Commerce.
Canada has helped herself and (he United States materially by
voting tariff reductions on many items which she imports from
the United States. The United States can do herself and Ce.nada
a similarly good turn by making certain tariff reductions. Both
countries would be aided by such a lowering of the trade barriers.
An example of the mutual benefit resulting from tariff re
duction is to be found in the case of the American farm implement
industry. Here is an industry which is in real distress. Now
Canada reduces her tariff on farm implements. The reduction
ranges from 4 to 12V& per cent. As a result, the American manu
facturers will be aided. And the enlargement of their market
will tend to ease their financial position and thus lower the
price of farm implements to American farmers.
Most of the world’s ills since the Armistice have been due to
reprisals, embargoes, and all the other manifestations of jealousy.
The United States and the British Empire are the two great na
tions which are undonbtedly solvent. They are capable of setting
an example to the rest of the world. They should make every ef
fort to do away with spite barriers.
One of these nuisance fences has been eretted between the
United States and Canada. As a result, there was talk of reprisal
and wre came near losing our pulpwood. Agitation for an absolute
embargo on all exports of pulpwood is still strong in Canada,
largely as a result of our tariff on Canadian wheat and cattle.
These duties have done the American farmer little good and
have done the United States as a whole a distinct harqg In some
cases, indeed, the faruer himself has been injured by4he indirect
results of the tariff on wheat and cattle from Canada. This tar
iff should be eliminated, and at the same time We should care
fully consider anew our tariff relations with the entire world.
Europe owes us about twenty billions, including the loans
advanced by the United States government. The opinion of the
vast majority of Americans is that the debt should be paid, that
interest payments should be made at once, and that some of the
principal should also be immediately forthcoming.
But the debt can be paid only in gold or in goods and services.
Payment in gold is out of the question. Accordingly we must de
cide whether we shall cancel ihe European debt, in whole or in
part, or whether we shall set up a trade and tariff system wherby
Europe can sell us more Juan she buys from us, with the least
disadvantage to our industries.
There are difficulties in this problem which may delay its
solution. But the difficulties in the Canadian tariff problem are
few, and we should solve it at once.
DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD
That they be rich In good works.—
I Tim. 6:18.
There Is a loftier ambition than
merely to stand high in the world.
It is to stoop down and lift man
kind a little higher.
There is a nobler ambition than
that which Is merely incorruptible.
It is the character which actB as an
antidote and preventative of corrup
tion.
Fearlessly to speak the words
which bear witness to righteousness
and truth and purity—
Patiently to do the deeds which
ctrengthen virtue and kindle hope in
your fellowmen—
Generously to lend a hand to those
who are trying to climb upward—
Faithfully to glv® your support and
your personal help to the efforts
which are making to elevate and
purify the social life of the world—
That is what it means to be "rich
in good works."
And that Is the way to make your
life interesting and Joyful and pow
erful.
The men that have been happiest/
and the men that are best remem
bered, are the men that have done
good.

Mother tiifte.
You could not give me toys in those
bleak days;
So when my playmates proudly
boasted theirs,
You cuught me to the shelter of your
arms,
And taught me how to laugh away
my tears.
Having no books, you sang a shin
ing word
Into my open palm, and closed It
tight. . .
So, when, the neighbors’ children
shouted by,
Their hired nurse-maids herding
them like sheep,
Then, that old dauntless look of
yours would leap.
And, leading me beneath the western
skies,
You woke their mirrored glory in
my eyes . . .
Now autumn years are blowing
swiftly by,
And I come empty-handed from my
quest;
Save for a captured wraith of sun
set sky,
A star or two, and last and loveliest.
The little shining word you gave to
me:
Treasures no human hand may ever
hold.
But you first knew their wonder and
their worth;
You who have made me rich with
more than gold.
—Du Bose Heyward. In “Skylines and
Horizons.”
The stock speculators felt a little
better jeslerday. Pew tears were

Constitution and the Declaration of
Independence, and stocks picked up.
Wall street men will discover that
Secretary Mellon, who had no trouble
in cutting hundreds of millions off
the national expenses, will easily find
a way to finance the soldiers bonus.

Teach Children to Save.
From the Thrift Magazine.
We should not neglect to teach
the children the meaning of thrift
and to see thgt they practice it.
Such lessons learned in childhood
make a lasting impression and are
Invaluable. The minds of children
are plastic—they are unprejudiced
and are open to receive impres
sions. If we will inculcate in their
minds the principles of thrift we
will discover that nine times out
of ten we have laid the founda
tion for much good and when
these children grow into man
hood and womanhood they will not
bo likely to forget the lessons
taught them in their early years.
“Damn-Fool Honesty.”
Lawrence F. Abbott In the Outlook.
Roosevelt once wrote from the
White House—to be exact, December
16, 1904—to the French poet. Mist
ral, a letter which It Is appropriate
and stimulating to recall at this
time, when the shady side of Ameri
can political life is being so un
pleasantly revealed at Washington.
« In that letter he said;
All success to you and your
associates! You are teaching
the lesson that none need more
to learn than we of the West, wo
of the eager, restless, wealth
seeking nation; the lesson that
after a certain not very high lev
el of material well being has
been reached, then the things
that really count in life are the
tilings of the spirit. Factories
and railways are good up to a
certain point; but courage and
endurance, love of wife and
child, love of home and country,
love of lover for sweetheart, love
of beauty In man’s work and In
nature, love and emulation of
daring and of lofty eudeavor,
the homely workaday virtues
and the heroic virtues—these
are better still, and if they are
licking, no piled-up riches, no
rearing, clanging Industrialism,
no feverish and many-sided ac
tivity shall avail either the In
dividual or the nation. I do not
undervalue these tilings of a na
tion’s body; I only desire that
they shall not make us forget
ttyat besido the nation’s body
there is also the nation’s soul.
The underlying honesty of Roose
velt, which is damn-foolishness to
men of the “Jake” Hamon type, will
bo found unconsciously Interwoven
through all his voluminous writings.
What we need In the coming pres
idential election is a leader who will
call the country back to common
honesty of thought and action. It is,
however, not surprising to find dec
ency and honor regarded as foolish
ness, nor Is "Jake” Hamon's pro
nouncement the first revelation of a
sentiment of contempt for the plain
virtues and common decency.
Younger Women Luckier
From The Kansas City Star.
An Iowa woman, suing for dam
ages for a kiss taken from her
against her will, has lost her case.
The explanation of the Jury’s action
seems to bo that the woman Is 60
years old, and the man who stole the
kiss was 30. The Jury, however, did
not compel ker to pay the young man
anything.
Women past 60 don’t seem to have
the luck in the courts that younger
women have. In fact, It is generally
held to bo risky for a woman of 55
or 60 to shoot a mjn becauso she
loves him; somo JuTies will bring in
a manslaughter verdict. And even
those which bring In acquittals gen
erally withhold the customary three
cheers that accompany the acquittals
of younger women.
An Ohioan’s iWsh.
From the Ohio State Journal.
We love President Coolidge for the
enemies he has made, but we often
wish, as some hardened old stand
patter assumes a prominent position

with emotion as he tells what a great
and good man Calvin Is, that the hos

erically. _ _ _
