HASN'T TIME TO
PLAY IN BAND
Senator Harding Used to Be Mem
her of Band, But He is TOO
Busy for Rehearsa's
.. These Days.

When the Caledonia Silver Cornet
band of Marion, Ohio, is reorganlzed
FOR the campaign next fall, says the
New York Times, it will have new
Ituba PLAYER. The melodious "Umpah,
Umpah' that came from that instru.
Iment when Warren G. Harding pu1fed
ont his cheeks as if he had an apple
in each will not be heard.
Mr.. Harding won't be able to get
off, for rehearsals in the barber shop
or to play with the boys in the torch
light professions, because he mas a
new lob that, viii keep. him busy all
the time That was made plain a
couple of days ago, when the FORMER
tuba player. now the republican presl-
dentia! nominee, discussed report
from Marion that the Caledonia band
in which he played as boy is to be
reorganized.
~ think they will have "a hard
time getting the members of that
hand together again. said Senator
Harding. 1.-THE fellows who played
In it are pretty well scattered"
"What was your particular artistic
bent?" was an inquiry put to the can
didate. Did you play the slide from
bone or the tuba?
"Please don't exaggerate musical
ability" Senator Harding requested,
as he ATTEMPTED to divert the line OF
questioning.
Some of Senator Harding's friends
were inclined to believe that he was
belittling his musical prowess, and
as ground for their view they called
attention to the fact that one of the
first men to congratulate him on his
nomination was John Philip Sousa-
1T was stated at Senator Hardings
office that he first played the alto
horn in the Caledonia band and was
afterward graduated" into the tuba
class.

OLD CHIMNEY
TO BE RAZED
Historic Landmark Of Mormon City
Has Been Sold for Fifty Dollars
and Will Be Torn Down and
Bricks Put Into House.

Nauvoo's historic chimney will
soon go down into history as a thing
OF the past. The high brick chimney
which stands next to the waters edge
| in the town across the river is
doomed to an ignominous end, one
that hardly BELTS it's historic value,
the Fort Madison Democrat says
The big brick chimney which has
been standing next to the Nauvoo
boat landing for the past three-quar-
tiers Of century, has been sold for
fifty dollars by Mrs. Nellie licking
LaCroix of Memphis, Tenn, to Elmer
Buckert of Nauvoo. Buckert will tear
the chimney down and use the bricks
for his new home which he will erect
in +"e roar future in Nauvoo.
The chimney of Nauvoo has an
Ihis.-.Ic ,sl4uc. IL also has a story
connected with it that hanks back to
the days when Nauvoo was the meet
ing place of all of the lovers of beer
drawn from key and of jolly nights.
F'orty-six years ago six men gath
cred around a table in the saloon Of
Felix Hansman in Nauvoo, playing
cards, began to make casual observa-
tons. Finally dispute arose over
the large chimney which then stood
barred to the elements at the waters
edge. Two of the men, Henry Wieg-
and and Thomas Tallant, made a
wager. Wiegand asserted that if the
chimney fell into the water Tallant
would have to pay for key of beer;
if it fell the opposite way, Wiegand
would pay. The keg of beer was
ordered and consumed. After the last
touches were administered Hansman
was told that the key would be paid
for when the chimney fell. Since
that time all of the participants IN
the bet have died, only two eye wit
nesses remain on earth. They are
William Dachrath and John T. Hud-
son of Nauvoo. The other eye wit
nesses, William and Philip Horn
bacher, are dead.
Since that bet was made the Hans
man saloon has passed out of exist
ence as has the owner, beer no longer
flows in Nauvoo and bright eyed men
no longer gather around table and
play cards. The beer has never been
paid, never will be paid and never
can be paid unless the chimney falls
suddenly. When it does come down.
the chimney will be destroyed brick
by brick to preserve the oblong bits
Of building material for a house.

COMMENT

You may think it is easy matter
just now to gather news for a coun-
try newspaper, but it is no snap All
that is being talked is the democrat
convention, the bonding issue and the
harvest None of these questions are
ripe for this issue of The World.
Another thing, it is not the man nor
the bunch of nen-or women who
do the most talking who supply a
news gatherer with the most news
Some people can talk all day and new
er say anything which will suggest
thoughgt to a writer.
The disposition of the news gather
er is also to be considered. Some
times his mind is. not in a receptive
mood and at other times a. very
small hint suggestion will set him
on a trail of a good news item.
Now that the tariff question is out
of politics, what is the real differ
ence between the two old political
parties excepting that one OF them is
in and the other is out. Perhaps this
-ggggeahse) sstocmf mfw fw wy wyw
will be settled as soon as the demo
crat platform is adopted at San Fran
cisco.
Our guess is that the democrat plat
form will be as much work of arch
itecture in the art of straddling the is
sue the platform adopted by the
republicans.

indication the part of this column

This is a republican year unless
something very unusual happens. A
third party might have gotten some

too late now. The contest will be be-
tween the republican and democrat
parties, just the same as it has been

two great political parties How
ever, the best citizens are members
of my" party.
The amount of noise, more or less,
and the amount of political influence
controlled, does not indicate the quail
ty of citizenship. The fellow in mind
has counterpart in almost every
town. He was known as candy, the
big man" He was the cashier of
large bank in his town, was pres1-
dent of another in smaller town and
was a stakeholder in one two other
banks. He wanted to be boss on
the job and demanded recognition. He
was elected mayor of his city, dictated
how its affairs should be conducted
and afterward obtained political con-
troll of the county While acquiring
this influence he spent money freely
and to all appearances his firms were
all doing a prosperous business. But
"they who dance must pay the fid-
1er.'' He was immoral and unfair in
his life and dictatorship His sins
found him out. He left his town in
disgrace and was fugitive from
justice. His defalcations broke up
three banks and put two other large
firms out of business. United States
government officials finally located him
and he was sentenced to term in the
federal prison. Several other state
charges were pending against him.
The quit, honest, Woodworking citi-
zen is worth more to a community
than a dozen political bosses or finan-
cial barons such as this man was.
The citizen who does the right from
pure motives may not have as large
a roll of '<kale" in his pocket as the
unrighteous man, but he is the one
you go to when you want someone on
whom you can depend
