keep to myself
NOW. listen. and you may agree with
me Roosevelt vas once defeated for
that Office, because he was q candidate
and the powers that were did not want
him You know yourself what defeat
means to Roosevelt: It is ike waving a
red rag at a Spanish bull. 1t IS not ae-

never forgets or forgives those who
downed him. and he viii get even Il

Roosevelt VIII, OF course. receive the
support OF the voters OF Catholic and
Hebrew persuasion. Both OF these COM
munities have received his peculiar IA
vors. and they both upheld him ike good
citizens.
Representative suIzer win be Roose-
velt's opponent" added Mr. Sullivan.
and Sulzer is just as popular with the
Catholics and Hebrews as Roosevelt. and
factor in New York politics, and must be
recognized. because they are good, loyal
and useful citizens"
Speaking about China and Cinnamon.
Harry J. Norman, Of Shanghai. who IS
at the New Willard. said last night that
the common punishment Of decapitatiOn
in China was considered to be the most
severe Of all punishments.

Norman, who has been n the Orient IN
business for the last fifteen years. is
the greatest disaster which could possibly
happen 70 him. I agree with him. don't
you? I can't imagine anything worse
than 10 have ones head chopped Of.
"a Chinaman would rather die q thou
sand deaths, each more cruel than the
other, if he could only retain a perfect
body TO the end He believes that after
death he goes into the dark land, where
life is continued much as il is IN this
world He believes that II ne IS de-
priYed Of his head. be will become =
headless ghost and doomed 70 perpetual
sorrow. Should he wish 20 marry, no
woman would ever dream Of taking man
without a head His hands might grasp
the chop sticks. but there would be no
mouth 70 receive the food he would
never be able to find his road anywhere.
and the shades in that mysterious land
would start with terror from him as he
gT0ped his way through the shadows
Give any Chinese criminal choice be-
tween decapitatioR and any Of the most
cruel deaths. and ne VIII instantly choose
the latter"
