Picking a presidential candidate fol

Picking a presidential candidate for
the democratic party for 1920 will be
an interesting industry for leaders of
that party. Cato Sells, that ancient
wheel horse, has beat EN- all to 1t,
however. And it's a clever piece OF
work he does. too. Cato is Commits
sioner OF Indian Affairs now, and may

POLITICS AND WHISPERS

In the days of populism many quips
were published about the whiskers oil
some leaders of that party, one in
spired genius going so far as to write
a song-"and the wind blew threw his
whiskers." In the recent campaign,
the cartoonists emphasized the whisk-

which brings forth an inspiration from
a Hughes enthusiast to this effect: I'm

THE MAP

Writers and political leaders are
now engaged in figuring out what
brought about the recent unusual po-
litical result. These doctors disa-
gree upon the diagnosis, generally,
but many agree that the political map
of the country has undergone a
| change. When first reports gave
| Charles Evan Hughes the big eastern
| states, it was generally supposed that
his election was assured, but later re-
ports from the west gave President
| Wilson a slight lead.
This humble sheet sees nothing of
the remarkable changes in the poll
| tics of the American people imagined
by these writer's. President Wilson
had the power of the Federal officials,
which is great; the country is enjoy
ing great prosperity under his admin
istration, whether due to him or not.
These two things were a great asset.
And II is a known fact in politics that
a one-term man in any office draws
votes from many individuals that he
himself can not tell why or how he
got them. In smaller political walks,
few men care to take the chances of
running against a one-term man.
Two other factors were just a bit of
psychological luck for the President.
The railroad strike affair broke" just
right. and its effect gave the President
the railroad employees assistance in
many localities. The other factor was
the vote of many ONE in suffrage
states, and prehaps also many timid
men, who feared an aggressive man
might entangle the country in the
great European war.
But aside from these very Import
ant advantages possessed by the dem
ocrats in this close struggle is the
further fact, which has attracted little
attention: viz, the amalgamation or
bringing together of a divided party
in the first campaign after its division
When n stops to consider the bitter
split of republicans in 1912, 1t Is real
ly remarkable that SO many would
come back and unite under the old
party name in the very next contest
for a President. 1t is one of the very
unusual political results in the coun-
try's history. The democratic party
was split in 1896 upon the financial
issue, and lever really got together
until the 1915 campaign. twenty years
thereafter. True, they won In 1912.
with a minority vote, by reason Of the
republican split. This year they
were fully reunited, and perhaps car-
ried with them a number Of votes who
are more or less independent of all
parties.
At this time 1t looks as II the re-
|publicans and their candidate for
President made an exceptionally good
uphill campaign, and missed the goal
only by the very narrow margin Of one
state, California. II they get any
where near "even breaks OF the game"
In 1920--but that's . long way OF.

The
Sandman Story

Once upon time there was a little
girl named fearful. because she cried
SO often.
Her mother told her one day that
she would melt away in tears if she
cried SO often.
fearful did not take warning or
heed her mothers words of wisdom
and kept on crying just the same.
One morning she was crying as she
walked along to school because she
wanted to stay at home when she no.
ticed frog hopping along beside her.
"Why are you looking for me?" she
asked, looking at him through her
tears.
| Because you will soon form a pond
around you with your tears, replied
the frog, land ! have always wanted
pond to myself"
81 shall not make any pond for you"
j said fearful, land l do not want you
following me, either"
| The frog continued to hop along be-
side her, and fearful stopped crying
and began to run, but the frog hoped
faster. and she could not get away
| from him, SO she began to cry again.
At last she was so tired she sat on a

she said.

have my pond now"
fearful cried harder than ever then,
she could not see, her tears fell so fast
and by and by she heard splashing
| sound. She opened her eyes and saw
water all around her
| She was on a small island in the
middle of the pond. The frog hoped
out of the pond, making a terrible
grimace as he sat down beside her.
Il hope you are satisfied" said Tear

you stay in it?'

If you keep on crying"

her instead of her comforting and cud-
ding me.
Confidence in Mother.
Only today some one asked me how
it was mother had our whoIe-souled
confidence. l answered without hest
fancy, "She has never made us afraid
of her" 1t is true. If we had ever
done anything wrong when We were
children, we knew we could go and
climb up in our mothers lap to con-
TESS, and there. would be no dire pun
ishlnent awaiting us. The very fact
we saw it grieved her stood for as
much of lesson as we needed, and

Games on the Road.
Later, travelling on the road, we
used to call our mother "the little
general" That was because, when
We were tagged out from our days
work and there were many blocks to
walk back to our hotel, mother would
try to interest us in the game of play
ing soldiers. Singing march music as
we went along, keeping time, calling
herself the general, Jack the captain
and Lottie and l the soldiers, she
made a wonderful game for us. She
would have us form line and keep
in step-one, two three. four-follow-
ing her down the street, cheered by
the gay little march time tune she
was singing. How we would laugh
as we stumbled over each other, and
how we loved to pretend we were
afraid of the severe little general!
Then, 10, and behold! we had reached
the door of our hotel and the time

THAT is right, keep on smiling"
said the frog. The pond is smaller al

legs and began to dance for joy.
fearful laughed again. "Oh YOU are
so funny" she said, 81 wish had your
picture. l never saw frog dance be-
fore"
you have a slate under your arm"
said the frog. "Why don't you draw
a picture of me?" The frog picked up a
stick and stuck it in the ground, and
then he leaned on it with one arm,
or front leg, and crossing his feet he
stood very still.
fearful drew him in that position,
and then he kicked up his legs as If
| he were dancing, and she tried to draw
him that way, but it was not a very
| good likeness.
81 had never thought | looked as bad
as these pictures" replied the frog.

rs that really the truth?' asked
Hildegarde.
why, yes!"
why did you say l was in West
chester?"
A loving woman denies suspicion as
long as she dares. To entertain doubt
is to entertain misery. But when she
feels herself the dupe Of her own love
and folly, she is clever enough to sus-
pect, almost more than the less adroit
masculine mind could conceal.
II didn't know where you had gone
to; and-replied Lawrence uneasily,
knowing that he could not quite follow
Hildegarde's mental process.

chester because you We're afraid that
Mrs. Knolys would be Jealous of your

asked the wife quietly, attributing by
that very question a certain cruel dig
nifty to Mrs. Knolys's position.
Lawrence looked at her wonderingly.

asked. Il had to say something to get
out of things. Then ! come home and

the woman, very YEARLY.
When loving woman finds that a
man is living his life as he chooses
and telling her as much about it as he
chooses to have her know, the pain
of the half truth is increased by the
wounded pride that suffers partly
from what it knows, partly from what
| it suspects and partly because toler.
ant acceptance of what it does know
| has been taken for granted, together
with blindness that should not see as
