Presidential Possibilities
Philander c. Knox

OF all the aspirants. candidates
and those mentioned" for the re-
publican nomination for president,
Philander Chase Knox of Pennsyl-
vania has had the most practical ex-
perience in government.
In addition 20 that. Knox is con-
ceded by his colleagues in the SEN
ate % be the best constitutional law
yer in that body where every other
man Is more or less Of an expert on
the constitution.
Furthermore, Knox Is something
Of a Beau Brummel. though he
probably would not like to be called
that He dresses fastidiously and is
always in that condition OF spick-
and-span-ness which is described by
saying that he looks as though he
had Just stepped out Of a bandbox.
knOxs experience in government
began in April. 1901. when Pres't
Mckinley appointed him attorney
general Of the United States. He
served in that post in McKinley's
and ROOsevelt's administrations,
until ne was appointed 20 the SEN
ate in 1904 10 Ill the vacancy caused
by the death OF Sen. Quay. In the
senate he got experience in the legis-
lative end Of government during
Quay's unexplred term and part OF
a six year term Of his own. He re-
signed in 1909 TO become Taft's Sec
retary Of state, retiring 10 private
life for the time being in 1913. In
1916 he was elected 10 the senate
again, and has until 1928 10 serve.
Knox has the reputation Of being
a conserva tive. Therefore his close.
warm friendship for the radical"
Hiram JohnsOn-the closest Of his
senate friendships, is considered all
the more remarkable.
OF great dignity, Knox is. how
ever. the most approachable of men.
NeWspa in Washington liked
him as secretary Of state because
his office was always a place where
they could put their feet on the
table. Knox is known TO them as
good fellow
Knox seldom makes speeches in
the senate, because to him u speech
is not something TO be dashed off
extempore. but must be prepared
with all the care that IS expended
en- a legal brief. He is chided some
times because he doesn't speak
oftener. but he frankly admits it's
too much trouble. However, when
Knox does speak, he always gets
attention, because the senate knows
II will hear a speech on which the
most meticulous care has been
spent.
Books are Knox's hobby. At his

When Mrs. Housewife
Buys the Sunday
Dinner

In the days when prices were lower
than they are now, Mrs. Housewife
went over to the corner grocery on
Saturday afternoon and bought what
ever she could find that would make
a nice Sunday dinner.
She bought promiscuously-a little
of this, little of that Before she went
to the store she, perhaps, had little idea
of just what food was going to be
served at that Sunday dinner-the
meal that is the biggest one of the
week in most families.
But today Mrs Housewife buys diff
ferently. Higher prices and the adj
vancement of the culinary art to a
science has caused this change In her
method of buying.
She does her buying as systematical-
ly as she does her cooking She knows
pretty we'll In advance just what is 60
ing to grace the table for that Sunday
dinner. She plans it well and she
knows just the exact amount of vege-
tables, -four, eggs and the many
many other necessary things, needed
to make that dinner success-and she
takes just as much pride in making
that dinner a success as her husband
does in making his business a success.
After the dinner has been planned
she starts her buying systematic
buying. She knows that the wide
awake grocers and butchers adver-
tise so she looks to their stores as the
place where she can find the best quail
ity at the best price. She knows. too.

Y. NJ. G. A. NOTES.

We are deeply indebted to Mrs.
William Sprague for the following
splendid additions to our library:
Leaders of the Nineteenth Cen
tury," "The Life of William McKin-
ley" "The Remarkable Advancement
of the Afro-American," rs the Negro
Making Good?" Heroes of the
Plains" "The Promise and Promis-
er." "The Afternoon of Life" and
sport in Many Lands" These books
are very inspiring, and the books are
in excellent condition. 1t was very
kind in the giver to remember us in
this fashion.
Plans are still in formation for the
fall work. In year like this, when
the minds of the people are so deep
ly absorbed in local, state and ma
tional politics, it is not altogether an
easy matter to lay out definite plans
for the fall. This is being done,
however, to the extent to which II is
possible to be done at this time,
though many OF our plans Will doubt
less have to be altered or revised.
We are still waiting to hear from
the board of directors as to what
they have learned concerning the
plans for the new building, the blue
prints of which they have been wait
ing for some time. Until we hear
from them it will be impossible for
us to give out any definite informa-
ton to our many inquirers and mem-
bers who are seeking information
from us on that point. The public
may rest assured that this informa-
tion will be given out by us as soon
as it has been received from the
board.
If there is an undefeated croquet
champion in the city who wishes to
retain his championship, he would
do we'll to keep his identity un-
known; otherwise he may find him
self in danger of losing it altogether.
For it has been definitely settled by
the members of the club that no one
shall come to Denver openly making
such a boast without being given an
opportunity to make good his claim.
