Wanted, a Campalun MANAGER,

Guardian Journal: The reporter
connected with the Times-Democrat
known as "Old Timer" says Hon.
John T. Michel is in need of a cam
paign manager We did not know
whether the effusions of the "Old
Timer" are truthful or ironieal, but
in either we would infer that there
is quite lot of work to be done by
the manager of q candidate for gov
ernor who has the pull and strength
that Michel has, and he would hard
ly be likely to secure one for ser
vice for less than one years salary

RELIGIOUS DISCUSSION
"~ MIRTH-PROVOKING
To the Editor of THE TIMES:

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
am sincerely sorry that the religious
discussion cannot continue in the Mail
Bag.
Can you not modify your decision to
some extent, and print them under such
caption as wit and Humor?" They
certainly were mirth-provoking.
Who could not appreciate the humor
in "Protestant's" attempt to becloud the
great glory of Columbus because other
brave ,oI men landed here centuries prior
chuckle at Roman Catholic's'' boast
that men Of his church were pioneers of
religious liberty in this country, when
the while he boasts dn the twentieth
century, the Pope falls out with Spain
because Of Prime Minister Canalejas'
progressive policy which includes such a
diabolical. epoch-making plan as "to
permit nom Catholics to display the
insignia Of their worship?"
The Times has come to be the most
progressive and best newspaper in the
National Capital, and I'm sure 1t re-
auires for the matter in its columns no

THE HORSE MORE THAN
HOLDING HIS OWN.

There is frequent proof that the
motorcar has not had the effect upon
the horse that was anticipated--an an
ticipation that seemed to be thorough
ly justified. The president of q veteri-
nary college in Missouri calls attention
to the growth of veterinary students
as another demonstration that the
horse is not on the decline by any
means. He says it was believed = few
years ago that growth in the use of
the automobile would relegate the
veterinary surgeon to the rear and that
many colleges would have to go out of
business. But this school, which had
scarcely dozen students twenty years
ago, now sends out each year $50 grad
yates.
The automobile has lessened the de-
mand for carriage horses in cities. But
statistics show that if there had not
been some relief the country could not
have supplied horses enough to meet
the demands. HorseHesh was never 30
high or the demand 50 steady, and with
the growth of the country, automobile
or no automobile, the condition seems
likely to continue.

THE GOURMET'S SCORN OF
THE GOURMh!JD,

Assuming that Charles W. Glidden,
Of Boston, found some one to take his
wager, the latest news from his bed
side will be awaited with the keenest
interest.
With the hunger of the holiday
spirit in the air, and gobblers that
looked like the great pterodactyl
swinging in innumerable market stalls,
he offered to bet that at a single sit
ting he could consume an entire bird
tipping the beam at fifteen pounds, to-
gether with all the "fxin's."
This latter item was by no means
the least important. Lest there should
be any doubt about the matter he
named what the "fixin's'' were to in,
clude. They were as follows: Two
loaves of bread, three quarts of tea
ak bananas and cream, twelve dough
nuts, one bunch of celery, ten large
potatoes, one half pound of butter, one
order of squash, two quarts of Gran
berry sauce, and one mince pie.
1t is not putting it too strongly tc
say that a Gargantuan dinner like that
ought to last a family for two ol
three days, and when man is willing
to wager that he can put it all away
without rising from his chair one won
ders if, in fact, he could rise from hi
chair after he had put it all away.
:, All this Mr.. Glidden was willing t.
undertake for the small bet of $25. TIL,
dinner, of course, he would regard al
velvet, since it would naturally b.
paid for by the loser. If he himsel
were the loser it would be paid for b.
the executors.
Up to the hour of going to press i
had not been learned whether Mr.. Gid
den found any takers for his Thanks
giving wager or not. One reason TO
assuming that he did not, is foun'
in the fact that the aforementione,
bulletins from the bedside have no
been forthcoming. 1t may be that hi
record of having eaten fifty-eight ear
of corn in Boston restaurant in les
than two hours frightened off tn
sports, and it may be that the polio
interfered.

or not, and allude to it as the shame

THE EARLY CHRISTMAS SHOP
PING APPEAL.

The advice to Christmas shoppers
which begins to be insistently heard
at this time of the year is good ad-
vice. Probably no man or woman
who ever took it in the past had
cause for regret.
The first consideration urged is in
behalf of the shopkeepers and their
salesmen and saleswomen. That alone
is reason enough. Their task as the
Christmas season approaches is a hard
one, and whoever can make it less ar
duous should endeavor to do so. But
there is also a selfish reason for Sc
lecting Christmas presents early. One
has time to choose. The assortment
of goods is better and one has first
pick. To shop in comfort means get
ting what one wants and avoiding the
mistakes that are made when every
thing is in confusion.
The chances are that money Il
