IN THE EYE OF THE CAMERA
By K. o'Daker

II By K.
Ex-Premier Clemenceau was at
one time librarian in New York
City. From that lofty position, IN
the greatest country on earth, TO
the lowly place of head of the
government of France, was some
drop in the social scale, well tell
the world. And as Monsieur Glenn
enceau is now at an advanced age
there is slight chance for him to
recoup his fallen fortunes. Such
is life!
Angora is a city thousand or
more years old, occupying the site
of Greek and Roman towns, whose
ruins confront one from every side,
we are informed; and the municipal
bath, which is still in use, was built
by the ancients of Rome. 1t Is
startling news of this character
that keeps ones nerves all un-
strung. 1t just gets ones goat
this news about Angora.
The center of negro population
Of the United States has moved to
the extreme northwestern part of
Georgia and is now almost thirty
miles northeast of where it was ten
years ago, we learn, as the result
Of applying ourselves to a study
of that wonderful encyclopaedia of
useless information, the Pail-o'-Pills-
or-Pink-People almanac. But this
relieves US of lot of worry, at any
rate. Twt or three times we have
become real panicky on being told
that the fecundity of the African
race was comparable with that of
rabbits and mice; but as the race
is slowly veering to the northeast
and we are trekking to the north
| west, we see no real reason for
our being scared.
There is an immense lot of fun
in the game of politics, if one
Doesn't take to heart the defeat
# some particular birds who are
obsessed with keen desire to save
the country, at a prescribed and
fixed salary, which is, as rule
greater than that for which they
can market their talents in any
other avenue of life. And what
some of the poor nuts who exc out
| an existence as space writers have
to say, about some of the artist:
who have succeeded in fooling some
of the people into putting them OF
the government payroll, is quite
often better than the most humor
Gus of vaudeville monologues. Fol
instance, a Chicago writer, in men

says, of Miss Alice Robertson
".Miss Alice, as the little spinstel
from the southwest, the only woman
| in congress, as she has been known
was defeated for reelection by thu
man, a Democrat, she conquered
two years ago by slender margin.
There is nothing particularly funn!
in the foregoing unless you hav,
seen miss Alice" Miss Robert
son, as a matter of fact, is abou
as far removed from being ''little'
| spinster as the mind of man coul,
conceive. Miss Robertson is a larg
woman, narrowly escaping masc
ulinity in form; and she is just a
good-hearted as she is big, blu
without single, solitary trait t.
commend her to a voter as bein,
of fit congressional timber. Again
''she conquered" nothing, two year
ago. She beat nobody! The mai
who went down to defeat-Bil
Hastings, a Democrat, who was
part of the Wilson machine-go
just what was coming to him, a
the hands of the voters, who vote,
to put him on the skids, along wit
| the balance of the Democrats, be
cause he was running on plat
form that meant if the man Co
were elected that this nation woul
sign, on the dotted line, the Leagu
of Nations fact. 1t was the pro
test of good Americans that mad
it possible for Miss Robertson t
be elected, and with danger elimi
mated they let her slide back int
the walks of life with which sh
is familiar Miss Rankin, a forme
woman member and Miss Robert
son, have made it quite plain tina
the halls Of congress, at this stag
of affairs, is no place for a woman
unless she be one of extraordinar
attainments; and women of the lat
ter type, so far, have eschewe
politics.
There is one thing that can b
