We Have the Choice,

Southey tells us that in his walks one stormy day he met an old woman, to whom, by way of greeting, he made the rather obvious remark that it was dreadful weather. She answered rhilosophically. that. in her opinion, "any weather was better than none !' I should be half inclined to say that any reading was better than none, al- laying the crudeness of the statement by the Yankee proverb which tells us that, though 'all deacons are good, there's odds in deacOns" Among books, certainly, there is much vari- ety in company. The choice lies wholly with ourselves. We have the key put into our hands; shall we unlock the pantry or the oratory ?-- Lowell.

Airplaines for
 Prospecting

In a recent number of the En- gineering and Mining Journal at tention is called to the great unde- veloped northern areas of Canada which may reasonably be expected to prove productive of minerals, and it is suggested that airplanes mig ht be advantageously used in explora- tion. Many who have slowly tra- versed the northern wilderness have longed for the power to fly like the birds, and the great impetus given by the war to aviation has made 1t seem likely that the explorers dream may soon come true. We are par ticularly favored in northern Cana da owing to the presence of num- berless small, quiet lakes that would make splendid stopping places for airplanes of the boat type.
 Those who have made enquiries concerning the cost of operating airplanes, are not inclined to be- lieve that there will be much flying over our northern woods for some years yet. There are, however, special occasions when the advan- tages gained might compensate tor the cost and we may expect 10 hear soon of exploring parties starting off in the early summer by alrplane for districts that are otherwise very difficult of access. It is to be eX- pected, however, that the spirit ot adventure and the pleasure of ex- ploring new fields will for some time be more effective in turing the aviators than will comparisons ot transportation costs and the saving of time on the journey.

Oldest Candy In the World.

Most of the black licorice comes from Spain, where it is made from the juice of the plant and mixed with starch to prevent it from melting in hot weather. The licorice plant is a shrub about three feet high and grows wild where its roots can reach the water. It grows largely on the banks of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. As the valley of the Euphrates contained one of the earliest civiliza- tlons in the world, 1t is probable that licorice is about the oldest confection in the world, and that the taste which boys and girls like so we'll today was enjoyed by the boys and girls of Babylon and Nineveh three thousand years ago."-Brockton Enterprise.

"Well Enouuh.0

HARDING THE Man

AS predicted by many, none of the
big 3" were nominated for president
at the Chicago G.. O. p. convention.
Senator Harding. of Ohio, who ran a
poor fourth in the presidential primar-
les over the United States, was the
available man to break the deadlock
which existed until Lowden surrend-
cred his vote to the Senator from Ohio.
Gov. Coolidge was nominated for vice
president on the first ballot.
The Minneapolis Journal makes the
following comments on the two men.
Senator Hardjng's availability won.
A constructive conservative, he had
the good will Of the liberals. There
had been a Harding-Johnson alliance
in Ohio A son of the State that had
given the Union four Presidents. Hay
es. Garfield, Mckinley and Taft, to say
nothing of Grant and the younger
Harrison. who were born in Ohio, he
would begin the campaign with the
tradition Of victory.
IF elected he will restore the Pres
idency to its proper place In the fabric
of government. He has no instinct
for autocracy. He could never be a
acknowledging intellect clustered
in the White House, burning incense
before his own independent decisions,
insisting that all the world must pros
trate itself in alteration before the
fame of his greatness.
Harding would be a President to
cooperate with Congress in pulling
the Country out of its critical situa-
lions, not one to insist on his own way
in all things, small and great. He
would function as the head Of the Gov
eminent, but not as the head and all
the other members as well.
"The naming of Coolidge to the Sec
ond place on the ticket was a fine
thing. For once, at least, a mar
worthy to be President has been put in
the lire Of succession. And why not,
since as Senator Johnson says only q
heart beat lies between the Vice Presi-
dent and the chief magistracy? 1t is
a fact of history that n out of every
six Of our Presidents has entered the
White House through the Vice Presi-
dency.

William SpengLer
Wins Amateur
IL BOxMgs Title

William Spengler, the New York
cop, is amateur heavyweight cham
pion OF the State of New York to-day
as result of his victory over ]. To-
mashek in the final bout for the title
at the City A. c. in this city last
night.
Spengler, although he appeared to
carly plenty of excess weight, proved
too fast and clever for his adversary
an had little difficulty in landing the
punches he started for Tomashek's
head or body. The latter put up a
great fight, but there never was a
time when he had the "cop" in dan
ger, and at the finish the policeman
had big lead, and naturally caught
the judges eyes for the decision.
One of the greatest bouts of the
night, IL not the greatest, was that
between Joe Carney Of the Ozanam A.
c., and Sam Mossberg Of the Pastime
A. c. Garvey was game and willing,
but every time he rushed, Sam caught
him coming in with a right or left
hook or jolt, or a jab that stopped
him.
Joe. VINO Is a redheaded Irishman,
kept trying throughout the three
rounds that the bout lasted, and he
took some terrific wallops, the mere
sight OF which made the ringside
spectators Vince. But they didn't ap.
pear to feaze Joseph, who kept tear
ing in as If he rather enjoyed the
| punishment.
Joe, who has fought only four bouts
and all of them in this tournament
was given a great ovation when hi
left the ring. Undoubtedly with @
little more experience and coachins
he will prove to be really a great
| fighter.
