1912-1921.

Now and then appears a mention
Of bull moosery. Here. man who
supported Roosevelt in 1912 is sug.
gested for a federal office, and some.
body recalls the part he played in the
bull moose year. There. another man
with a similar record is indorsing a
friend for office. and the Endorsement
Is criticised on that score. Yonder. still
another man who bolted the repub-
lican ticket nine years ago calls on
Mr. Harding with fluctuations. and his
record is drawn on him.
This seems to be absurd. II bull
moosery is not dead. nothing Is dead.
nothing can die. Theodore Roosevelt,
in whose behalf bull moosery was
born. supported the republican na.
tional ticket in 1916. and had he lived
would probably have headed last
years ticket.
His son and namesake is now the
assistant secretary Of the navy.
Hiram johnson, who was the bull
moose candidate for Vice President in
1919, is now a member Of the Senate
as a republican from California.
Many other facts are citeable to
show that the racket Of 1912 has no
proper place in appraising the political
merits of men today. That dead past
is as dead az Hector.
Fresh factonism may be impending.
There Is seldom time when political
parties are not in some degree 90
plagued. But sufficient unto the year
IL the factionism thereof. Bull moos-
cry is not Of this year.

BEGINNING April IL.


Senators have scattered Tor nome.
They were together long enough 1of
the new men to get their bearings,
and for the old men to take the meas
ures Of the new. The ten days were
we'll employed.
Representatives had scattered De-
fore. Those of the new men VINO hao
come to witness the Inauguration ue'
parted as soon as that was over. But
they stayed long enough to take
look around. and when they return
next month will not feel as strangers
The President and his official ad'
visers remain on the job. There is no
breathing spell for them And they
desire none. Having been introduced
to their duties, they are buckling to
the work. There is plenty OF 1t. The
governments business necessarily Is
in much disorder. The war threw
everything out of plumb; and since
Armistice day there has been until
now q divided responsibility.
But now the republicans are in full
charge. and must "go to it."
Beginning, then, April II. this town
will be the scene Of much activity.
The President will be busy. Congress
will he exceedingly busy. The de-
partments will be rushed with work.
For how long? 1t would be useless
to fix a time Guessing would be at
guesser's risk. Where there Is so
much to be done. and so much OF 1t
running OF new lines. and so many OF
those employed new to the work. the
safest course seems to be to guess not
at all. Let time settle the time.

DEATH OF GEN. CLARK
SUGGESTS PROMOTION
Colonel Raupp Mentioned as Probable
Successor, With Colonel Halli-

Joplin, April 16.-Coonel w. y.
Raupp of Peirce City, adjutant gener-
al of the state and commander of the
Second Missouri National Guard,
probably will become commander of
the national guard of the state as a
result of the death this week of Gencr-
al Harvey c. Clark, in opinion OF
commanders and officers of national
guard units.
1t has been predicted that he will
be made brigadier general by Gov
emor Hyde. Mr.. Raupp is senior
national guard officer of the stare
and is widely known. 1t has been
recommended by national guard units
that he be made commanding general
with the highest rank in the state.
At. present Colonel Raupp ranks
as general in the adjutant's depart
ment, but the new appointment
would give him higher military
rank. In the event of the appoint
ment a vacancy would be left in the
anti-aircraft regiment. Lieutenant
Colonel Wesley Hilli5urton of Car
thage probably would become COM
mander.

VOU need less Certain-teed to cover
a given area than you do ordinary
paints and varnishes, because the ingre-
dents in Certain-teed are highest quail
ity, are properly proportioned, and are
thoroughly ground and mixed by
machinery that makes no mistakes.
These things also account for the fact
that Certain-teed has greater hiding
