Browsing Round in
Politics
BY LABERT ST. CLAIR.

Lucy Page CASTOR and other de-
termined foes of "terbacker" will
get mighty little comfort this year
out OF the stand on the weed Of
the national candidates Of the big
parties for the offices OF President
and Vice President. The score is
three to one in favor Of smoking
tobacco, cigarettes and cigars. OF
the quartet, Gov. Calvin Coolidge
alone does not smoke.
So far as the statistics are avail
able, Jimmy Cox seems to be the
only member of the quartet who
smokes a pipe. but he does that
regularly. In fact, it is declared
that he has so far conquered the
brIar that he frequently calls for
his pipe right after breakfast. And
that is the acid test of pipe smok-
ing. Only one man in history-so
far as the books tell US. Brother
Tom Carlyle-ever smoked a pipe
before breakfast and lived But
folks who had to associate with him
died off rapidly. Cox. however. Is
said to be quite sweet-tempered
when he partakes of an after-break-
fast pipe. He also takes q flyer in
cigars now and then.
Harding Smokes Cigarettes.
Senator Harding smokes cigar
cites and does not care who knows
1t. He even has his picture taken
with cigarettes in his hands. He
does not roll his own.
As for Franklin Roosevelt, he
smokes very popular brand or
cigarette, and, it is rumored. is saw
ing the coupons to get a couch. or
something. Anyhow, he smokes
quite few, but they do not iniure
him, apparently, for he is about as
husky citizen as one would meet
in days travel.
Private investigators who have
sought to learn if the Rev. Watkins.
who heads the Prohibitionists.
smokes, found him at his home
running the washing machine. so
they reported negatively without
further inquiry.
1t will seem strange to see a
smoker in the White House. Few
recent Presidents have smoked.
Most Vice Presidents smoke. Of
course, because otherwise their
hands would be heavy with time,
dew, moss and such.

brooked no argument, although Mr..
Birney much preferred to look at the
picture Of her holding his sleeping
child than TO eat.
Shortly after Miss Woodburn had

phoned that Tommy had awakened
and was crying Historically for her.

and get him to take one more dose Of
medicine? Hastily putting on her

Birneys', taking with her an old nurse
who she knew would stay with Tommy

Abashed. but smiling, Miss Wood

her till she assured him over and over
again that she would return In the
morning, and Mrs. Brown would stay
till she came back. When Tommy-Trot
was finally quieted for the night. Mr..
Birney insisted on taking Miss Wood
burn home, and 1t seems that most OF
the time was spent In telling her about
his family and his prospects, as though
he felt 1t necessary that she should be
thoroughly acquainted with his biog-
raphy. Next day he made the ac-
quaintance Of her father and repeated
the story and much more about him
self and Tommy-Trot. And as Tommy
soon learned the way to the Wood

Joy That All Can Have.

The joy of living is best found in
the real success of life. Take away
success and there's no joy in life to
one alive to opportunities and respon.
sibillties. No live man is satisfied with
mere existence. for he wants to con-
tribute something to the worlds prog
ress, the worlds good. And it is in such
contribution that real joy is found, the
satisfaction that comes from full reali-
zation that one has done what he
could in the year given him. So this is
the Joy this journal wishes every read
er may have the coming year; and will
have If they fully appreciate that the
new year is theirs. 20 make it truly q
happy new year.

Us to Write Therein a
Record Better Than
the Preceding.

~ HE coming year lies spread
like the white plain that
sweeps from the roadside to
the distant forest where the
gray squirrels are making tracks in the
light snow. On this white sheet lit
tie record may be written; not a full
life story, but merely a brief chapter
or two, like the chapters of squirrel
life that may be read by one who to-
day ventures into the white forest.
1t is great mystery that lies ahead,
a treasure house of endless possibili-
ties. The span of mans life is
short; shorter in absolute measure
ment than the span of year. For
each year, when October fades into
November, has wrought completeness.
No human life can bring completeness
1t cannot bring completeness of knowl-
edge or completeness Of happiness or
completeness of good works. The best
man can do, in his poor limited way,
is to CLEAN as much wisdom and win
as much happiness and do as much
good as the number of his days per-
mits. When the human October fades
Il may thus be rich and peaceful and
without the scars of stormy days or
The blight of wasted days and without
undue regret that what should have
been seen and known and done has not
been seen and known and done.
A YEARS completeness Is but a
IA twelvemonth. Our human incom-
pleteness covers many twelvemonths.
How fortunate that each dawning year
means a new opportunity to live and
learn. Again and again we may take
up the thread and advance toward the
goal Of apprehension. We may study
Gods works and year by year come
nearer to an appreciation of them. We

HAIL TO THE NEW

Hail! hail to thee. o virgin yeari
Not yet a days length on thy throne,-
Thou with the merry eyes and clear
And joyous voice of dulcet tone:
Hail! hail to thee, thou strong of limb;
Our praise is thine, Q youthful king,
For thou art pure of woe and sin.
Thy young hands yet but blessings bring
The monarch who is laid away
Within the catacomb of years
Was harsh and ruthless in his day
Seemed less to love our joys than tears;
We look for blessings manifold,
New Year, from thy pure sinless hand,
We trust thy heart will ne'er grow cold
Toward us-and our Native Land.
Bring healing to the hearts now sore
From wounds the cruel Old Year made;
The veil of peacefulness draw DER
The woes at each heart-threshold laid:
We cannot love tyrant kingi
Our hearts refuse to loyal be
To one who takes delight to fling
Upon our hearts keen miseryi
Be kind to us-that we may say.
When comes the time for thee to go;
20 darling year. we grieve to-day,
Because we all have loved thee sop
