The election of Smith, Democrat,
over Miller, Republican, to the gov
ernorship of New York would put
Smith in line for the next Democratic
nomination for the presidency. but
for the fact that Smith is a Catholic.
Smith is said to be big enough" for
presidential timber, but were he much
bigger his religious affiliation would
be a handicap which he could not
overcome-in this free country. 1t is
further said that New York has never
had a better governor, Democratic or
Republican, than Gov. Miller, Just de-
feated by Smith-and Miller would
have been reelected but for having to
carry the load of the Harding admin
istration. In case Harding should re-
fuse to stand for reelection land il is
conceded that he will perhaps be the
weakest man the party could nomi-

Woodrow Wilson's Armistice Day
address made to several thousand
persons, men, women and children,
gathered in front of his Washington
home, has caused men and women
known to be prominent to again APP
plaund his leadership, and to declare
that the ex-president's ideals must be
re~conedswith. Senator Caraway, Of
Arkansas, announces that the candi-
dte for the presidency in 1924 must
be one who is willing and able to take
up the renewed fight for the League
Of nations. President Wilson is so
much better in health that on Armis-
tiee Day his voice was said to have
the old time ring. but he did not at
tempt to himself deliver the entire adj
dress. Even if Wilson should not
again appear in person as a power in

One of the best results had out of
the late November election is the pos
tive discrediting of the Nashville
Banner which paper waged a dirty
warfare against Austin Peay for sew
eral weeks and toward the close Of the
campaign advocated outright the re-
election Of Governor Taylor. II the
Banner had fought Peay in the pri-
mary and at the same time refused to
vote in the primary in which Peay
was running, it could have, in honor,
bolted Peay in the regular election
but in pursuing that course the Ban
ner has adopted the motto: "D-n
honor when there is something else
(of which the Banner has more) at
stake" The Banner is a good news
paper, one Of the very best in the
State and whatever influence it may
have can be attributed to its mere
circulation, for certainly the result Of
the election of Tuesday, November
18th, shows that it has no editorial in
fluence whatever in Middle Tennessee
or any other section of the State. Just
before the election a Nashville man Of
good repute was in Lexington and as
sured us that the opposition of the
Banner was helping instead of injur.
ing Peay in Middle Tennessee. Mr.
Peay showed extraordinary strength
in Shelby county, where, in spite Of
the opposition of Crump and the en-
dorsement of the Commercial Appeal
he came through with about 1000 ma
iority over Taylor.

Henry Cabot Lodge bought his re-
turn to the United States Senate from
the State of Massachusetts, by having
free hides and free leather written
into the Fordney- Nc Cumber tariff
bill, for the benefit of the shoemakers
of Massachusetts,, while there is, in
in the same law, a heavy duty on
shoes. Great quantities of hides come
in to the United States from Argen-
tine, from Mexico and Canada and
having hides and leather on the free
list, while putting a heavy duty on
shoes, is simply pouring millions of
dollars into the conference of the
shoemakers, which dollars have been
extracted from the pockets of the
shoe-wearing people. Why will any
living nan who makes pretense of
consideration for the common people,
endorse by his vote such a system of
the ROBBERY Of the many for the bene-
fit of the shoe and leather manufac-
turers-men who work up fire hides
and free leather into shoes and other
articles on which the prices and prof
its are enormous.

1t is said that a gigantic Mohame-
dan plot to massacre a million Chris
tians in Turkey has been uncovered
by the British. Their information
was conveyed to President Harding
and Secretary Hughes, with request
for immediate intervention by the
United States-but in what was the
United States could intervene without
violating its policy of isolation, was
not stated-but the news did go on to
state that a fleet of American war
ships, including one cruiser, twenty
destroyers, one submarine and fuel
ship was ordered dispatched to a point
in the East coast of the Black Sea.
Long ago we came to the conclusion
that we would be willing for this
country to declare war on Turkey to
prevent the continued massacre of
Christians which has been going on
at the hands of the Turks.

1t is getting to be a strong hope
that Newberry, of Michigan, will be
elected from the United States SEN
ate. As finally happened to William
Lorimar, of Illinois, who withstood
the first attack in the Senate but
went down before the second attack.
Senator Townsend, Of Michigan, who
voted to seat Newberry, was beaten in
the November election by a Democrat,
the first one to carry Michigan in
seventy years.

If Senator Pomorine, of Ohio, could
have or had tried to win the support

the fact that it is not customary to
fill such vacancies with lame ducks.

several have adopted the religious life
