Believes Author Misinformed

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Can one help laughing? Could
you, now? When the ridiculous
smacks you right across the phrenal
funny bone?
The anonymous author of an en-
PERTAINING book of caricatures and
criticisms of public men, using the
taking title of Mirrors of Wash
ington," writes like a pundit learned
in all of the intricacies of great
men and great events. But one
who plays the part of an iconoclast
must needs be well nigh perfect
himself; and here goes:
Either Colonel House lied to the
author. or the author made up the
story, or the author is pitifully
ignorant OF the history. the politi-
cal history of his own country.
Colonel House couldn't put that
story over my 11-year-old grand
son. Colonel House is quoted as
having said to the author (who
swallowed the story:
when I was a boy in Cornell
University my great chum there
was young Morton, a son Of the
Democratic war governor of In
diana. The Hayes-Tilden contest
over the presidency was being de-
cided. Morton and 1 used to run
away from Ithaca to Washington
during that absorbing fight. BY
reason of his fathers position In
the Democratic party he could get
In behind the scenes as few young
men could; and he took me with
him."
Now, It just happens that there
never was any Democratic War
Governor of Indiana"
1t also happens. as you may prove
by taking In hand the Official BIZ
ographical Congressional directory
Oliver p. Morton was unsuccessful
as the Republican nominee for gov
ernor In 1855; was elected lieuten-
ant-governor In 1860, and upon the
election of Governor Henry S. Lane
to the United States Senate became
governor Of Indiana"
The same official record shows
that Henry s. Lane was permanent
chairman of the frst Republican
national convention in Philadelphia
Pa, June II, 1885, elected governor
of Indiana in 1860; was inaugurated
January IA. 1851 and served four OF
i've days and resigned"
Thus the Republican lieutenant
governor. Oliver p. Morton, became
governor of Indiana. and he was the
Republican war governor of that
State. He never was Democrat
He was always q Republican.
Writing and printing political
dfatribes or ,polemics In Washing

danger. because there always has

Only about three-fiftfhs as many sows were bred in the the fall of 1920 for the spring farrow of 1921 as in the pre- ious year, according to T. R. Reid, Extension agent of the University of Arkansas. Dur gin the past year the total number of hogs in the country decreased Fl per cent over the previous year, he says.
 This decrease indicates 3 shortage of pigs this year even though larger per cent of the spring farrow should be brought to maturity With proper seasonal conditions, there will be a surplus of feed for finishing hogs, and an increased number of hogs will be needed to consume pos sible surplus of such perish able crops as are being plan- ted this year.
