BORAH PREDICTS HARD FIGHT

Senator Borah of Idaho, who has
frequently been mentioned in connec-
ton with the Republican nomination
for president in 1916, still insists that
he is not an active candidate for that
honor.

with the platform which shall be
adopted by the Republican national
convention next year than with can
didates,' says ne.
II the Repl blican party is to win
in the next national elections Senator
Borah is convinced that liberal
and progressive" platform must be
adopted. And he is intent upon hav-
ing sucn a platform adopted.
Those who believe that the PEN
dulum has swung back to the old
stand-pat ideas will find themselves
much mistaken" he said.

No Italian Anthem.

Musicians will doubtless wish to
add an Italian national anthem to
their repertoire. They cannot find it.
Italy has many patriotic songs. as the
Royal March and "Garibaldi's
Hymn" but no recognized national
anthem, though the last-named song
has almost come to the supremacy.
In this respect Italy is at tho same
disadvantage as Turkey. After the
revolution the Young Turks offered
a prize for a national anthem. but so
far the poet OF patriotism has not
come forward to claim 1t.

HE'S IN THE MOVIES

While Representative Albert John
son of Washington, and former Wash
ington newspaper man, is not movie
actor, you are quite likely to see him
mixed up with lot of suitcases,
trunks, canes, etc, in a comedy role
along with the other national hero,
whose funny hat, walk, cane and mus
tache are now better known than the
prayer book.
Representative Johnson was in
California recently, stopping at Los
Angeles. He travelled part way by
steamer, and like all ocean voyagers
loaded himself to the limit with
shawls, blankets, steamer trunks,
gladstone bags, suitcases, thermos
bottles, cameras, canes, field glasses
and other various and cumbersome
impedimenta. He was carrying all
of these, and was utterly hidden from
view under this load Of baggage and

to maintain his congressional dignity

Sayid Effendi, the princely title
given to him by right and courtesy, is
on his way around the world back to
the Philippines. He comes with a
record of Accomplishment during the
few months of his chieftainship over
Moslem Philippines. He brought to
end the so-called holy war against
Christians and Christian government;
