cause Mr.. Wilson Is supposed to be
unpopular, and, secondly, because Gem
eral Wood is the 'inheritor of the
Roosevelt Legend which, in the Sena-
tors judgment, represents the antith-
esls of all that Mr.. Wilson stands
for. We are positively assured that
General Wood is the rightful heir
with the strawberry mark on his right
arm and all the other signs of full
identification.' And among the identi-
flying signs the Senator recalls that
the general was denied service over
seas, and is, therefore, eligible to the
Presidency as the victim of Jealous
politicians
General Wood has right to aspire
to the Presidency, but we do not think
his chances are helped by advocates
like Senator Moses. To be the inher-
itor of a legend, to display q political
strawberry mark on the right arm, are
doubtful warrants for favorable action
by the Republican National Conven-
ton. And about the most hurtful pol
icy-hurtful to General Wood, we
mean-is to exploit him as Senator
Moses does, by implication, at least, as
a man with a grievance against the
present Administration.

same paragraph and drew a parallel
with General Mcclellan, as follows: ::

seems to be repeating there his ex-

Americanism is already producing the
inevitable reaction"
This was the paragraph the enc
mics of General Wood seized upon.

criticism General Wood and Some

Opposing

On the other hand, there were the
Democratic papers which immediate-
1y sought some flaw in the Wood
boom. AS "The Philadelphia Press"
remarked
democratic newspapers are betray-
ing a fear that General Leonard Wood
may become a real Presidential candi-
date by directing their popguns at him.
This will probably do something to
encourage General Woods friends"
Senator Moses said in his inter-
view:
Like Roosevelt, he has infectious
personality, which has baffled all the
plans of the Administration to pocket
him. Exiled to Charleston by the War
Department, he infected the South;
and nowhere has he more ardent ad-
mirers than in that soldly Democratic
section. Sent to the pacifist plains of
Kansas as a safe burying place, he in
oculated that whole region with his
genius, and now the prairies are ablaze

"a MOSES, of New Hampshire,
~ has formally started the Re-
publican band wagon on it's
way, announcing that New Hamp-
shire will go to the next Republican
National Convention with the pur-
pose of nominating General Wood to
be Republican candidate for Presi-
dent. Senator Moses thus crystal
lized widespread idea.
Newspaper opinion has been ex-
pressing itself rather extensively.
Thus we find Arthur Sears HenninQ
declaring in "The Chicago Trib-
une":
General Leonard Wood has become
the leading candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for President. With
in the last fortnight veritable wave
of Wood sentiment appears to have
swept the Republican states from coast
to coast
"The most significant feature of the
manifestations is the fact that Che
general is being indorscd by conser-
vative as we'll as progressive Repub-
licans. His candidacy is being pro-
noted by no one faction. and the COM
ment most frequently heard is that
General Wood is the most available
candidate to unite both wings of the
party and restore the harmony without
which 1t went down to defeat in 1912
and 1916.
"Nor does the Wood candidacy ap-
pear to be the result of an organized
boom. Wood sentiment is not being
artIicially promoted by any group.
There is no Wood committee, no Wood
headquarters. The sentiment favor
ing his nomination seems to be the
spontaneous admiration for a strone
leader"
Robert T. Small indicated the
same thing when he said in "The
Philadelphia Public Ledger:
"The West is not to be permitted to
lay sole claim to Major General Leon
ard Wood as a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for President in
1920. New Hampshire has come for
ward to assert prior right to the
general as her native son. and a pre-
diction is made that all of New Eng
land may fall in behind the Granite
State"

dlLE the luxury tax has
wv already become a reality,
its working scheme and
involved schedules con-
tlnue to mystify great majority of
citizens. One thing seems certain
soft drinks have been placed on the
luxury list, and as such will be
taxed.
What Of the professional prohi-
bitionist? He has long assured an
ofttimes cynical audience that
shift from hard to soft drinks would
be not only beneficial but economi
cal. Sarsaparilla, pop, cider, ice
cream cones, sodas and sundaes
were not only a corking substitute
for the Bronx, Martini, Clover Leaf,
etc, but they were dirt cheap. Yet
with tax of lone in ten" there will
be nothing remarkably inexpensive
for the soft drink drinker this sum-
mer, if he drinks, so to say, with
any enthusiasm.
Otherwise the tax has brought
forth such interesting queries as, Is
a corset luxury? etc.
We find this by a special writer
in "The New York Evening World":
What are corsets?
THE cosmic problem of the corset
has just been left on the doorstep of
Daniel G. Roper, Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue, in Washington, who
poor man-must decide if corsets are
or are not underwear. In the former
case, they are subject to the luxury
tax If they cost more than So, which
means that every we'll corseted woman
must pay the tax.
"Then, we'll made, correctly shaped
corsets are a luxury? l doubt if the
we'll dressed American woman will con-
cede that. Every dressmaker, every
fashion magazine, maintains that the
properly fitting corset is the founda-
tlon of the successful costume. Per-
sonally, l should list corsets as
necessity, albeit painful, a hated
uecessity-save, perhaps, in Greenwich
Village"
