next House; and Mr.. Payne, with MS Uuca
rival in retirement would have a clear field as
NETWORKS favOrite for Speakershlp honors
Among the other Republican members of longer
service Messrs. Grosvenor and Burton, both OF
Ohio may be drawn in some measure INTO the
irnpending canvass, but further perhaps
than each feels himself required to enter 1t
in order TO protect his own standing ana III
tereStS.
Within the last few days two newer recruits
TO majority leadership have announced their
r,11rpose to enter the contest for the Speaker
shin prize They are Messrs. Tawney. of Min
nesota. and Littlefield. Of Maine. Each has
capacity and individuality. But both have been
foo prominently identified with recent "insur-
gent" operations in the lower house to com
mand the unbounded confidence of their more
conservative colleagues. It is evident that there
is to be no lack of energetic competition; and
If the next House is Republican a struggle of
lively interest may be looked for among a num-
her of friendly and capable rivals for one of
the great prizes in national politics.

The white woman who sees in the negro's am
bition to mprove-often mistaken and ridicu-
lous in its expression, no doubt-merely some
thing that -bores' her. who in her life has
known only one negro woman whom she
thought to be chaste, who has nothing to say
Of the serious cvilizng work of washington,
but considers all educated blacks merely
smart niggers' and dangerous firebrands, is
really person to contemplate as the fine flower
of superior civilization. Noblesse obige.
In sharp contrast are the words of a South
ern cOlOred woman in the same magazine. She
approaches the subject seriously. She faces the
ia cts of negro immortality and crime, she prays
merely for justice, that she and her people may
be treated according to their deserts as in
dfviduals If she dwells somewhat pathetcally
on the loneliness of her lot and on the insults
to an evidently refined woman merely because
of her color, and so, perhaps, gives some point
TO the white woman's sneers about social pre-
tence vet she is earnest and clearly striving IN
dustriously and modestly to reach a higher
plane of civilization and to exalt human char-
acter so far as her influence goes. The problem
of uplifting human beings does not "bore' her.

WHERE ARE THE HARES?

Has the Beef Trust bought up the Belgian
hares: Only few years ago we We're told that
breeders of those domeSticated and cultivated
jack rabbits could amass fortunes, that the
skins and the fur Of the nimble animals would
be in constant demand at profitable figures
while the flesh would be so much priced that
roast pig, 'possum fat and poultry snatched
from peaceful sumbers in the dark of the moon
would be despsed in comparison. Henry "
of France declared that he should never be
cOntented until every peasant in his kingdom
had a fowl in his pot The benevolent i'm
porters of the agile leapers from the Euro
pean Continent were equally anxious to do good.
They were never weary of assuring everybody
that the Belgian hare was prolific that he
would soon put the stalled OK, the cornfed
steer ard the fatted calf TO fight as sources
of food su ply, and that delicacy for the
table Ae would excel in exquisite flavor the
choicest of terrapin and green turtle OF cur
ried oysters and broiled Holsters. of spring tur
keys and Philadelphia capons, of woodcock and
canvasback ducks, and even the most defect
able of Strasburg pies.
What has become OF the Belgian hare? Not
many months hive passed since his praises
We're sounded and written in enthusiastic utter
ances and articles Colonel Mulberry Sellers
was hardly more eloquent in describing the
glittering treasures which might be secured by
the sale Of his Incompatible remedy for the
healing of sore eyes among the swarming mill
ions of Asia and Of Africa tran the promoters
Of the Belgian boom were in revealing the
opportunities for heaping up riches on farms
devoted to the production of the long cared,
bobtailed Founders But the bills of fare
of American hotels and restaurants hare soups
and hare meats in any form no more con-
spcuous and no more in request than they were
a quarter Of n century ago. and among the
Cruasuses Of the day it would not be easy to
find one whose wealth has been acquired by
experiments with the elongated and enlarged
cousins to the comics. The Old Testament in
forms US that the comics Of primitive times
were feeble folk. Their Belgian kith and kin
IN this era have failed to sweep everything
before them as their eulogists predicted they
would do. Has the Belgian hare future?
