cord with Progressive Republicans
OF the West than they are with
Reactionary Democrats In the
East. But-they see no way to
get together. much as they would
welcome close cooperation.
sTANDPATISM DEAD.
But there will be no new party
Of influence in 1924. The indi.
cations at present are that one Of
the old parties will bs the winner
and that It will be the party that
is most progressive.
The second lesson the election
taught is that Standpat ideas can.
not win in this country. The peo.
pie in 1920 were shell-shocked and
appeals to normalcy fell on grateful
ears. They had been kept on such
a 60 for years that the prospect OF
sitting still was pleasing to them.
or they thought 1t was until they
got II. Then on the seventh they
registered a desire for action-per-
haps many of them did not clearly
express the line of action they
wished taken. But as to normalcy.
they were like the little boy who
had gorged himself on waffles-
when his mother asked him II he
would not have another helping,
he said: 1T don't want them which
I've already got"
The voter may not know exactly
what he wants, but he does know
that he does not want what he has
been getting since March s. 1891.
Neither does he want what he re-
ceived in 1920 when tho financial
storm struck the country after the
Senate rejected the Versailles
treaty. But no knows he wants no
government Of Privilege such as he
thinks ID enthroned at private en-
richment Of those who gave lfber.
ally to the campaign fund Of the
party in power.
THE HOUSE OF HAVE.
It is not q question whether he
was right in his point Of view. I
believe he was right In his diagno-
sis. and many people feel that the
House of Have 10 IN fun control.
They wish government by the
Houses Of Equal Rights. 1t was for
that reason that they defeated the
Senators Of Washington. He be-
lieves that the duty Of paying war
burdens should rest upon those
whose incomes were swollen dur
ing the war and which are still
large. He resents tho remission Of
$3.50, 900. 900 on excess profits tax
and SO. .ooo. 900 Of high income tax

Administration, would turn to the
Democratic party as they did on
November 7.
TRIALS AT A THIRD PARTY.
It is indeed doubtful whether
a third party would have mater.
ialized under any circumstances.
Every generation has made a try
at a new party. The Greenback
party had considerable go in the
West In the seventies. In the
nineties the Populist party rose
to be a powerful agency in q
number Of States. In 1912 the
biggest and most formidable third
party which Colonel Roosevelt
named the Progressive. polled an
immense vote. It seemed des-
tined to become a leading factor
In politics. 1t fell to pieces when
Roosevelt trekked back to the
Republican party. which. In its
extremity, welcomed him with
open arms. Thus ended this gen.
eration's hope Of q new party
for those who are not satisfied
with either OF the old parties.
That failure makes those who
long for the plunge hesitate be-
fore jumping into the waters
which have swallowed up all who
tried the Jump.

Big Meat Eaters

Why does man become a cannibal
Mr.. w. d. Nj. Bell, a contributor TO
Country Life, thinks that the cause is
constant craving for meat in land
where mostly grain abounds. He tells
some interesting things about the ex-
traordinary diet of the natives Of the
Bahr Aouk in Africa.
When they nhabit a stockless area,
he says, they go for months without
flesh, except of course for an occasion
al rat, mongoose or bird!' In those cir
cumstances the craving for meat nat
urally becomes intense and in my
opinion is the cause OF cannibalism.
When the people suddenly have al
most unlimited meat, as they do when
they kill an elephant or a hippopota
mus, they simply gorge themselves.
A man will eat from fifteen to twenty
pounds in twentv-four hours. All
night long he will eat and doze and
eat again. AS result his skin turns
a peculiar dull color, and his ewes be-
come yellow. On the third day he
has completely recovered his natural
appearance and is again full of energy.
In short time he wants his grain
food again and if he has the choice
will eat large portion of grain to a
small portion of meat.
If, as with the elephant, there is
much fat with the meat, the natives
are likely to become extremely fit on
the diet. For example. for sixty
three days of consecutive marching a
kilangozi, or head porter, of mine who
was of slight build, carried his mat
his blanket, fifteen pounds of rations
and tuSk that weighed one hundred
and forty-eight pounds! The shortest
day was five hours, and some DAYS
were very long indeed For rations
throughout the march he had two
pounds of native grain every day and
as much meat and elephant fat as he
cared for. His physical condition was
magnificent throughout

ORIGIN OF Golf
Scotch Shepherd Said to Have
Originated the Game.
Stone for a Ball He Made the
Circuit Of the Links.

Six hundred years and more ago an
old shepherd in Scotland grew tired
vi doing nothing all day but look after
his sheep so he amused himself by
knocking a stone about with his crook.
II interested him 10 see how far he
could knock that little stone and how
he could best get 1t out when it fell
into grassy Iollows or among other
stones He chose ms round q stone as
possible and put distinguishing mark
upon IT.
one day he mentioned this pnstfrne
10 the shepherd in the next field. who
tried it, too. Then they made some
OF the places more difficult and meas
ured Off definite points and goals. At
night. on their homeward way they
would swap yarns. They measured
off their holes in a circle, because in
that way they could keep watch over
their sheep, and they marked their
holes with tag of wool attached to
stake. Soon all the shepherds of
the nelghborhood were following their
example.
This, says the Christian Science
Monitor, is one version Of the origin
or golf. It was the game of shep-
herds in the beginning; but we find 1t
the game of kings as well. We have
| an account Of the train OF James VI
Of Scotland and 1 of England playing
on English soil. The first match on
record was when the duke Of York,
afterward James II of England, and
an Edinburgh shoemaker defended
ScOtlands claim against two English
noblemen. Shortly after this matches
became more common, with prizes of
clubs with silver bands, II balls or a
| simple medal.
| BY Scottish laws we can trace the
history of the game from very early
times. In 1853 the Scottish parlla-
ment enacted that because golf d.
verts attention from archery, 1t must
be cried down." and II seems to have
been necessary to renew many times
law that golf must not be played on
| Sunday.
With praiseworthy eye to economy

transported yearly out of his highness

The implements early became as
good as those Of today, with the ex-
ception Of the balls. The first real
balls were Of leather, stuffed with
feathers; then they were made of
gutta percha with smooth surface
1t was soon discovered, however, that
indentations were an aid to rotations,
and the balls were hammered with the
chisel end Of hammer. Later, of
course, the indentations were made in
the mold.
AS far as records show, golf was
first known In America In New York,
but tradition states 1t was played on
the Pacific coast by band of old sea
captains In the Sixteenth century.
When women began to play is not
known. but times have changed since
the following quotation was true :
Men play the game, the boys the
clubs convey, and lovely woman gives
the prize away"

New Angles Of Morse Scandal In
creased Demands For His
Retirement
BY RICHARD LINTHICUM

WASHINGTON, June 8. - The
Daugherty Fielder Morse scandal
which follows fast after the Fall
Denby-Sinclair Naval Oil scandal,
while the odor of the Nat Goldstein
scandal is still strong in the public's
nostrils, has resulted in a suggestion
that Attorney General Daugherty re-
sign from the cabine, and demand
( from another quarter that congress
make a searching and impartial in
vestigation of the charges against the
attorney general.
While Harry M. Daugherty's con-
nection with the Morse case has long
been a matter of history and news
paper comment, the documentary
evidence of the details of this con-
nection together with the successful
efforts to release Morse from peni-
Tertiary are made public for the first
| time by publication in the Washing

the Congressional Record by Senator
Caraway, of Arkansas.
This expose is given unusual i'm

B. Fielder, who according to his own
letters, associated Mr. Daugherty
with himself in the Morse case, and
now alleged to be the attorney for
the Bosch-Magneto company, has at
tempted to hire the governments in

Bosch Magnetic case pending before

AT THE RYLANDER.

When Exc Whaley finds out that
the mother of the man his daughter
has married has questionable rep
utation around the town, he orders
his daughter, upon the threat that
he will kill her husband, to leave
him. The husband returns to his
cottage to find it deserted. Grief
stricken, he resolves to wipe out all
trace of himself, and when the
train carrying him away is swept
off trestle into the river he
causes the report to be circulated
that he has been killed.
From this groundwork King
Vidor, directord@oducer, has de-
veloped striking picture in "Love
Never Dies" an Associated First
National release coming to the
Rylander theater Thursday.
Lloyd Hughes, who has the lead
ing male role, has never appeared
in more appealing portrayal. He
is supported by Madge Bellamy,
whose personality has won wide
praise in all her previous releases.
Supporting these two players is
an excellent cast that includes:
Claire Mcdowell, Winifred Green
wood, Joe Bennett, Fred Gamboal,
Frank BROMLEY and Julia Brown.
The picture was adapted from Will
Harben's book "The Cottage of
Delight"
