IT'S THE PRESIDENTS DAUGHTER n
AND SHE'S CARRYING A CANE!

AND SHES CANN
Washington, Nov. 15.-The
presidents daughter Eleanor
has just made the capital gasp
by carrying a cane.
Now Washington society
women are putting in rush
orders for walking sticks. The
fad is bound to be the rage
since the presidents daughter
and wife of Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo started it.
The cane Mrs. McAdoo
carried is an ebony-hued
piece with a crooked handle
inlaid with silver. Some
times she swings it in her
hand and sometimes she
hooks it over her arm.
Nearly every afternoon
now Mrs. McAdoo dons a
smart-tailored walking suit
and with Miss Helen Wood
row Bones, President VIII
sons niece, goes for a long
walk.
Just the other day the
president and Mrs. Gait in a
white house automobile pass
ed the pair. What did Mrs.
McAdoo do-why she laugh
ed and waved her cane at
them.
That gave the official stamp
to the fad-and so carrying
a cane" is the thing in Wash
ington.

Mr.. Vardaman's Comment.

"Wondrous words of wisdom. The
views then expressed were in accord
with the history and traditions of the
democratic party and harmonized
beautifully with the genius of Amer
lean Institutions. It IL difficult to
understand the cause Of the Presidents
change Of front. Whatever may be the
Presidents motives, the effect of the
position taken by him last Tuesday is
an unfortunate surrender to predatory
interests, and the disastrous conse-
quence will not be lessened by the
guise of patriotism under which the
turning point in the life of the nation.
and it's deleterious effects Will be felt
by the toilers in all the years to
come 1t is poison injected into the
evn effects OF which will ultimately be
seen in all its branches. A big navy
and a large standing army are what
the republicans have contended for for
followers of Hamilton and Jefferson
have been widely separated.
"Irony Of Circumstance"
TT is the irony of circumstance that
the teachings Of the republican party
for a century should find fruition in a
democratic administration.
THE consummation of the policy
which the President proposes will
within twenty years. I predict. find the
American taxpayer burdened with the
expense of standing army and navy,
which, together with expenses incurred
in past wars. cost not less than $50
per capita per annum. The President
has ingeniously concealed the enormity
of the scheme by proposing that it will
increase the appropriation next year
only about one hundred millions Of dol
lars. The people will not be misled by
a statement of that character.
THE fundamental objection to the
whole scheme is the beginning. When
the government once starts on this
| srange. undemocratic path 1t requires
but limited vision to seq the disas-
trous end. 1t Is the old story over
again-history repeating itself.
Message Disappoints Him.
"I am greatly disappointed in that
part Of the message which treats of
preparedness and yet 1t is no worse
than / had a right to expect. In my
judgment. the whole scheme, Of pre-
paredness.' as II is now understood, is
a crime against posterity-subversive
of the genius of our government and
an outrage upon the wealth producers
of America.
