JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS. ON
 T. R. IN THE WHITE HOUSE

From The Life and Letters of Joel

 Fathers own account of his visit 10 the president was given in one of the Billy Sanders articles:
 'Thar's one tring about the White House that's aStonish you ef ever you git thar while Teddy is on hand. It's home; itll come over you like a sweet dream the mint you git in the door, an you'll wonder how they sweep out all the politics an keep the place clean an wholesome
 Well, as I told you, that was the quintessence' of home that reached from the front gate to-I dunner whar in the big house-an', to make it all more natchal, little boy was in the peaZZer waitin' to see me an what more could you ax than that a little boy should be waitin' for to see you before he was tucked in bed? It filled me full of the feelin' that a man likes to have when he's gittin' kinder lonesome. No sooner had l shucked the Presidents hand than the dinner bell rung-we call it the supper bell at my house-an' then a lovely lady come to'rds me wi the sweetest lookin' young girl that you ever laid eyes on; an right then an thar I know'd 4whar the home feelin come from, the feelin' that makes you think that you been thar before, an seen it all jest as 1t is, an liked it all mighty we'll so much so that you fergit how old you are, an whar you live at.
 Its kind of a feelin' that you kin have in your own house, ef you've lived right, but it's the rarest thing in the world that you kin find 1t in anybody elses house; an ef anybody had "a told me that I'd find it in full flower in the White House, a house that ten million politicians an good part of the public F -4x- frov h 1rh have believed 'em.
 We mostly talked of little children an all the pranks they're up to from mornn' till night, an how they draw old folks into all sorts of traps, and make 'em play tricks on themselves. That's the kinder talk I like, an I listen at it. Jest at the right time, the president would chip in wi some of his adventures wi the children. One time

Beckham's Irish Position

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 11-Sena-
tor ]. c. w. Beckham will vote to
recognize a government of Ire
land if it is established without
intervention of the United States,
but he will not vote to recognize
the Irish Republic" in its present
status.
This is the substance of an ans
wer he sent to a committee of the
"Friends of Irish Freedom" who
asked him if the occasion arose
in the Senate whether he would
vote in favor of such recognition.
Senator Beckham said his atti-
tude is consonant with the posi-
ton taken by the Democratic Ma
tiondl convention, which rejected
"a plank favoring the recognition
of Ireland as a separate govern
ment at the present time. Such
action, he writes, would be tan
tamount to a declaration of war
on Great Britain and involve this
country in incalculable difficult
ties"

DRUG STORE PORTER
WROTE PRESCRIPTIONS

/ Louisville, KY, Sept. lin the
hearings of physicians summoned
before Prohibition Attorney Stan
field for examination today as to
why their permits for prescribing
whisky should not be revoked,
Mr.. Stanfeld told the .physi-
clans who had cited the United
States Dispensary as authority
for use of whisky in diseases that.
when the next volume is issued,
whisky will not be listed as medi-
cine. This follows the action of
the navy in banishing whisky
from ships.
A negro physician did -four
ishing prescription business while
acting as porter in a drug store,
according to testimony offered. In
this dual capacity, the negro, evil

quests for the "cureall" l"-whisky.
This was brought.out by Lucien
S. Smith, negro doctor, who was
charged by Federal Inspector
Mayer with writing hundreds of
prescriptions, both regular and
emergency.
Smith explained why he had
written SO many prescriptions de-

COX
Will CARRY OHIO
DR.. E. C.. McDougle and Louis B.
Weisenburgh Bring Good News
From Buckeye State

The question of who is going to
one of the most absorbing that poll
ticians are studying today. With
both presidential candidates favorite
sons of Ohio a real battle is certain
for the electoral vote of the Buckeye
state. Harding is now United States
Senator from Ohio and was elected
Lieutenant Governor once. Cox has
been elected governor three times
DIR. E. C. McDougle, dean of East
ern Normal School, is just back from
visit to his old home in Meigs
county, Ohio. He says that though the
county is normally republican by a
large majority, his brother-in-law
there told him that a large number
of republicans were going to vote for
Cox. He pointed them out to DR.. Nc
Dougle, and made the prediction that
if the same ratio governs over the
rest of the state, that Cox will carry
the state easily. DIR. McDougle is a
democrat and was, of course, pleased
to hear such news at his old home
An Independents View
Really more emphatic, however, is
the opinion of Louis B. Weisenburgh,
whose home is in Richmond, but who
has large manufacturing interests in
Middletown and other points in Ohio.
Mr.. Weisenburgh is an Independent in
politics. Before the national conven-
tions he favored General Wood for
the presidency and was outspoken in
his behalf. Now, however, he is for
Cox and he thinks Cox will carry
Ohio and be elected. He says that
Cox has made Ohio the best governor
she ever had in her history; that he
has the confidence of both the capital
ist and the laboring element, and he
knows scores of big republicans who
are going to vote for Cox who usual
ly vote the straight republican ticket.
Mr.. Weisenburgh declared, on the
other hand, that the republicans could
not have found a weaker candidate
than Harding had they secured the
country for him. He says that Hard
ign has done nothing and no one can
tell just what he stands for on any
big public question. The contrast be
tween the two men is SO great that
up in Ohio where the people know
them both intimately, Mr.. Weisen-
burgh predicts that Cox will be the
victor.

LEXINGTON Pike
FIRST STATE PROJECT
New State Road Law To Be Put
Into Effect First In Madison
Boggs Tells Baxter

The Richmond to Lexington
turnpike is to be the first project
undertaken for reconstruction
under the state aid working plan,
is information that County Road
Engineer J. O. Baxter has had
from State Road Commissioner
Joe S. Boggs. This will be good
news for the thousands who trav-
el this pike, which is one of the
worst to be found anywhere. And
this applies both to the Madison
and Fayette side of the river. The
only really good piece of roadway
on the entire % miles of the road
is the asphalt road six miles this
side of Lexington.
1t is hardly expected, however,
that state aid work can start be-
fore spring In the meantime,
Engineer Baxter has moved
crew to the Clay's Ferry end of
the Madison portion of the pike.
They have started work, filling up
the holes and smoothing out the
roadway as much as possible be-
tore bad weather sets in.

to press for the resignation of the
republican campaign manager. The
governor declared that the complete
testimony had confirmed his "slush
fund" charges.

Cox said:

ed on lonely pass on Pine Noun

ii o'clock Tuesday morning and
started afoot across Pine Noun
