There was a gouge in the side ol
tbe fat pumpkin, into he peered care
fully. He even crawled into the
small cavity himself. But there was
nothing there. And he decided, al
ter thinking deeply for some time
that there could not possibly be a
bee inside the pumpkin.
AS soon as he had made up his
mind on that point Buster Bumble-

claimed. 'tThere's no bumblee-nor
any other sort of bee--anywhere
near the pumpkin"
"There was one there only NOM

sly smile.

Bumblebee, looking much puzzled.
"Well, 1 did," old Spot replied
'And that proves that I'm right"

stopped, and all three fiddlers were
tuning up for more dance music, in
his excitement Buster forgot all
about the raising bee again, the bum
blebee in the pumpkin, and even his
dispute with old dog Spot.
So the dance went on. And at

with no restrictions except that there

labor he wishes the higher wage to
abide on one explicit condition-that
the wage Garner will give full return
for the wage received" which, coupled
with an instructive treatise on diligen-
ce and thrift, is his cure for the high
cost of living.

ty government struck at the beginning
of his address, In every case it is the
party-the republican party, of course
that is to be trusted to solve the
problems which the candidate does lit
tie more than describe. Thus placing
himself unreservedly in the keeping of
the senatorial junta, "blear-tyed with
loss of sleep and perspiring profusely
with the excessive" who in a hotel
room at midnight arranged for his
nomination, Mr.. Harding emphasizes
again and again his antipathy to one
man rule, which is his definition of a
responsible executive. and his solemn
approval of a syndicated presidency.
From this low level it was only nat
ural that Mr.. Harding should sneer at
ideals. much has been said of late
about world ideals" he says, but 1
prefer to think of the ideal for Ameri-
ca" What that conception may be is
illustrated by the assertion that Am
ericans are "a very common-sensical
people, with vision high but their feet
on tht earth, with belief in themselves
and faith in Godr' And in another
place, that we are neither covetous be-
cause of ambition nor hesitant through
fear, but ready to serve ourselves, hui
manity and God" Always ourselves
first, always God and humanity last,
which is the very gospel of Prusisarl
Junkertum and the equally brutal
creed of the Old Guard Senators to
whom the candidate makes so many
obeisances.
After reading and rereading this ad-
dress the conclusion must be that in
the Chief Magistracy is to be admins
tered by committee of the United
States Senate the man selected for fig
urehead has been well chosen-pro-
vided he can be elected.
