He tiniiKs tiiat audiences resent over familiarity and "old-folksy" stuff, and he is sure that audiences like for those who speaW to them to be correctly and neatly dressed, though never over-dressed. The speaker must not patronize his audience. Beveridge's theory is that if the or ator has studied his subject adequate ly he is prepared to state his facts and conclusions simply, but that it is never necessary or safe to "speak down" to people. One must stick to his subject and make no digressions. He should tell no jokes whatever if ne tells them badly. The orator must be genteel if he would win the good will of his audience. Gentility, simplicity, fairness, sincerity, dig nity, thorough preparation these are the essentials. : o : A JOB FOR A BRAVE PRESIDENT STATESMANSHIP Statesmanship has become passe at Washington. Statesmanship does j not comport with insincerity, and there probably was never a time The season of the year is approach- j w "Ul """ Buuseu men in nisrn puonc service wno ing when the high school graduate will learn that commencement really means commencing. :o: Having heard rhe nasal twang of President Ooolidge over the radio, we are convinced that what he needs , is the removal of his adenoids. :o: Auto helps: When you see a tele phone pole coming toward you do not wait for the pole to turn to one Bide. Turning yourself is better. :o: Strange as it may seem, that dark man v were primarily devoted to flapdoodle. Senator Heflin, his front cunning ly advertised by a white vest, in tended perhaps to be symbolic of his pure purposes, often wakes the echoes of the chamber with words proclaiming the crookedness or lo athsomeness of nearly everybody but himself. Senator Magnus Johnson, although a newcomer and not a bad sort, un der his outward anxiety to prove him self worthy of the wheat growers' confidence, tells the world from day hopes cannot be expected to run smoothly if he has never been oiled. :o: Tf Theodore Burton can find a rallying kenoto for the republican party, he probably will be hailed as one of the greatest discoverers of the age. :o: China's boy ex-emperor shocked the "forbidden city" by conversing with an Indian philosopher and a Chinese poet. He is evidently a wild youth. : o: John C.

A congress that includ ed the Japanese exclusion clause in the immigration hill ought to show some interest in that question. :o: It is said that women's feet aver age a full size larger than they did a generation ago. If this be true, it famishes the explanation why their kicks against ihines they do not like are more effective than they used to be. horse to which democracy pins its 1 to day that virtue has practically- abandoned both the big political par ties, leaving the field to Senator Brookhart and himself. Mr. Borah, alleged to be too intellectml for the senate and too gloomy for s.ny kind of social gathering, rises at studied intervals and pours our sonorous signs, freighted with doubt border ing on despair. These are but ran dom specimens of types to be found in the two wings of our national leeislature, but there are hundreds more, with here and there occa sionally from Nebr;ika a sound and sane and courageous representa tive willing to vote any day for a measure which hns his intelligent approval and equally v.-iiiing to vote any day against a measure which is insincere and injustified save in the appearance of temporary popularity. There are numerous men in both branches of congress capable of statesmanship, and the wonder is that that run for re-election. If holding on involves surrender of por ronal convictions and independence of action, then holding on isn't worth the price. :o: -rot- Congress and the treasury are part about 2 billion dollars in their estimates of the cost of the bonus bill, but it is suspected the president will rely for Information on that ipoint on the authority that deals with figures and not with oratory. 0:0 Uncle Joe Cannon celebrated his 88th birthday Wednesday, May 7th.

Douglas countv, Illinois, but soon after hts . !.-':.(, 1. he removed to After twenty years of strenuous effort to help make the republican party republican. Senator Norris has declared that it is almost impossible to obtain effective legislation at Washington in the interest of the. plain people. He blames especially these two evils: The great influence of special privilege and the power the executive wields over the legis lative branch of government. Senator Xorris illustrated the use of executive power in rewarding lame ducks by appointing them to more remunerative offices after their defeat at home by their own constitu ents making it profitable for mem bers of congress to stand by special privilege and betray their constitu ents. Then he added: "On the otner nand, oDserve the ruthless punishment meted out to the legislator who refuses to take or ders. First his patronage is taken away, and his constituents are led tc believe that he is without weight or prestige In Washington. He becomes an outcst, both inside and outside of th capital. The labels 'demagogue.' 'kicker' and 'chronic grouch' are hung on him. If his wife or daugh ters have social proclivities, he is made to feel the curse of administra tion displeasure in still subtler ways." In that last sentence. Senator N'or ris barely touches on one of the most insidious enemies or democracy in Washington. If a member of either house is married and has daughters, they have at home, of course, their social cir cle. When they go to Washington they have new friends to make, and when' friends are not easily found. For the senator or house member who -Prince of Waies- 40496 BEVERIDGE ON ORATORY Albert J. Beveridge can write with authority on the art of oratory, in which he says there is a revival of interest. There is nothing mysteri ous about the art of public speak ing. The thing h; simple, according to Beveridge. In formulating the rules by the observance of which one may become an acceptable public speaker. Mr. Beveridge concludes thnt these are the prime requisites: Speak only when you have something to say, and then only after you have thoroughly prepared yourself by thought and extensive research. Boil down, simplify your discourse, know more about your subject than your audience. When you have finished, sit down. Don't make long speeches. Avoid loud ranting and roaring; avoid acrobatics; speaks slowly and deliberately, enunciating each word distinctly. Clear enunciation fight his family, if the family has social aspirations. With the president at the head of Washington "Society" we have in thi democracy what is to all intents and purposes a royal court. Democrati government, among other things needs a president who will not only throw the thieves out of the temple of government, but will kick the in sufferable social snobbery out of Washington.

BALANCE that NTS NOTICE OF APPLICATION or License to Operate a Pool and Billiard Hall mine v' The formula of gunpowder determines its ex plosive force and propelling power. The same is true of gasoline. To get dependable results, the constituent elements must be in properly balanced proportions. RED CROWN is as uniform as good quality gunpowder. It is made to rigid specifications which provide the low boiling point fractions for quick starts and the higher boiling point fractions necessary for power to the end of the stroke. The proportions are right. You can't alter them and get as dependable all-around motor fuel. Red Crown vaporizes with a maximum of air. It burns up in the fraction of a second.
