Last year the freshmen gave the
sophomores a severe walloping.

I'VE have noticed again on our

Of that frail ephemeral flower due

with it's obnoxious presence.

self that meek and lowly attitude
SO befitting to one of it's insignifi-

as green bay tree around this
spot Of so many revered memories.

pride in imitation of the Lordly

toad. it will soon burst itself in

to anger and forgiving of such

patience endure?
Beware, oh Frosho, beware! Be
ware of the Ides OF November. the
fatal day when you will hold your
class elections! Beware on that
fateful night lest we in enraged
fury rise up and smite you off
the map.
Classmates. these pusillanimous
nonentities must again be relt gated
into innocuous desuetude, whence
they came. Let us rise nobly to
the task.

very little about the League of Ma
tions and l suppose that l am as
Intelligent as the average voter in
the States. The paramount Issue
with the people OF the country to-
day Is the high cost of living. The
people showed two years ago that
they wanted change and they
changed the complexion of Congress
even after President Wilson. then In
the height of his popularity, made
an appeal to the voters to return a
Democratic Congress to help him
shape his policies and to show
Europe that the party which he rep
resented was still in the saddle"
RECALLS TAFT VICTORY.
This same situation existed when
President Taft was elected. The peo-
pie OF the country returned a Demo-
cratic House and the election of a
Democratic President followed.
To this same type of Washington
citizen the belief is imbedded in his
mind that 1t does not make great
deal of difference who Is elected
President. The campaign promises
made before election are only kept
in so far as the people demand that
they be kept, he believes. and the
incumbent of the White House will
change his Views OF things as soon
as he gets into the White House and
sees the things as they really eN-
list, which he cannot do outside of the
Presidential chair.
The man elected, whoever he Is.
will be an American, and honest, II
he Is not honest at heart, the enor-
nous responsibility and knowledge
that all his acts are being closely
watched by his enemies. will make
him SO.
And, anyhow. this Is a grand old
country and II will take more than
one man or any single group of men
to undo the work Of building that
has been going on since 1776.

the polls. This is the minimum fig
ure. 1t does not include possible de-
partmental changes, for upon this
vast question on the speculative and in

sands upon thousands without any
| trouble whatsoever. 1t includes only
the retinue of secretaries. clerks,
| stenographers, etc, involved in the
election of an entirely new House
Of Representatives and one-third of
the membership of the Senate.
The election means great deal to
Washington, and 1t is breaking no
news to the world to say that. both in
and out of the civil service ranks, the
vast majority of Washingtonians are
preparing and mending their fences
for a Harding victory.
To the big officeholders the result
means nothing, since they retire in
any event on March 4, because Gov
ernor Cox, IL chosen, would hardly be
| expected to hold over many Wilson
appointees. But the entire force of
employees at the Capitol, as well as
thousands in the departments, are

kind of interest.

election combined. making a greater

mentioned persons, but it also means

on the internal affairs OF the city, be-
cause the political complexion OF the
President determines to a large ex-

OF the purely local affairs of the city.
To the Washingtonian, versed in
politics, who Is purely non-partisan,
but who has watched the trend OF
voting for many years, II looks like
| a Harding victory, with the only
thing in doubt the extent OF the ma :
jority, 1t does not make n great deal
of difference to the average native
born Washingtonian who wins the
election. His business will go on al
usual or he Is secured by civil serv-
ice in his job.
/ A canvass OF the men and women
of Washington. who have never
mixed in politics to the extent OF be-
