This fact 10 mentioned q little slyly

When Mr.. Cleveland turned to Mr..

terror, and indicated q purpose to
transfer the distinguished Mississip-
plan to the Supreme bench, attention
was called to the fact that although
educated for the bar and at one time a
law lecturer In a southern college Mr..
Lamar, through his great success In
politics, had for many years been
"out Of touch with his profession" /"
Might it not be advisable for the
President to turn elsewhere for his
man?
Mr.. Cleveland thought not, and ad.

Mr.. Lamar's all-around ability, as be.

ment put upon his character both
north and south.
1t was gossip at the time that Mr..
Lamar would have preferred remain
ing in politics, where. because Of his
eloquence when he felt inspired. he
had long been a toast.
But he yielded his preference. and
ir time became much enamored Of his
new duties. He likewise became as
popular in judicial circles as he had
been in political circles, and his most
intimate friend in his new association

Murphy and Smith.

Leader Murphy Of Tammany Hall
never is, but always is to be, deposed.
Time and again his enemies within
the organization-and they are not a
few-have seen and predicted his fin
ish, only to find that their optics and
prognosticating powers were out OF
order. The object Of their scheming
somehow invariably survived. and con-
tinued to do business at the old stand.
Some Of the friends OF "Ar' Smith
are not satisfied with Leader Murphy's 8
performances this year.
In the first place he seemed to hesi-
tate at the Syracuse convention be-
tween Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Hearst,
when, as these Smith men claim. he
should not have hesitated for a mo-
ment. The nomination being in his
hands, he should have promptly be-
slowed it upon the Tammany as
pirant.
In the second place the registration
in Tammany circles in the metropolis
was disappointing. The Smith candi-
dacy is depending on the size Of the
Tammany support. The republicans
are counting on a large vote upstate,
and Tammany must overcome this if
Mr.. Smith is to win.
Out of this criticism grows the
threat that if Mr.. Smith is defeated
the disaster will be charged up to Mr..
Murphy, and a change made in the
leadership of Tammany Hall.
More interesting still is the sugges-
ton Of Mr.. Smith for the place, not
only as a matter Of appropriate JUS
tice, but of organization business. He
is personally popular in Tammany cir
cles, and recognized as one of the
cleverest politicians in the big town.
Tammany did we'll by Mr.. Smith two
years ago, though unable to put him
over at a time of unprecedented politi-
cal conditions.
Mr.. Smith is making rafting cam.
paign for governor, and so far as ap,
pearances go Mr.. Murphy is taking
all the steps necessary to shepherd the
"boysy to the polls in large numbers
on election day.

Efficiency in the Films.

TLAYToN HAMILTON. lecturer on
~ the drama, who has just returned
from two years spert in Hollywood
brings back this new movie story:
One Of the big film companies had
just acquired a new president fresi
from the cloak and suit trade His
watchword was efficiency and one Of
the first things he did was to visit thu
companyS studio at Hollywood, wheI g
he spent several days, prying into every

Politics at Home
The Primary and Its Requirements.

Opponents of the primary in our
politics plant themselves on three
propositions: a. That it is expensive;
(2) that it forces the successful man
to make second campaign; (0 that
it engenders bitterness Of which the
enemy In the campaign for election
gets the benefit.
AS a matter Of fact. in some cases
It forces three campaigns. The case
Of Mr.. Mayfield Of Texas. running for
the Senate, Is of this class. He had
to make two campaigns for the nom.
ination-had to participate in a run
off-and now is battling against a
combination OF republicans and bolt
ing democrats for election. In area
Texas is an empire, and physical
strength is required to get over the
ground.
Mr.. Vardaman of Mississippi missed
a third campaign only for the reason
that he was defeated In the second.
He was in a run.of. True, the third
would have been but a gesture. The
nomi nation, had he secured 1t In the
run-off, would have been equivalent
to election. Still, trip over the state
to return thanks would have cost
something.
Mr.. Lodge in Massachusetts,, Mr..
Beveridge in Indiana and Mr.. Reed in
Missouri are making a second cam
paign, and finding the work strenuous.
Each has been on the stump more or
less for months; and Mr.. Reed has
been put to it in a fashion requiring
the utmost of his physical strength.
Missouri is no slouch for size; and
the senator has been going gait
since and including August-first in
the primary, and then in the cam
paign for election-that would have
taxed q man half his years.
But office, and Office especially on
Capitol Hill. is a lure men yield to
no matter the physical hardships i'm
posed. They see 1.-The bright light"
and make for it with all the resources
at their command. There Is some
thing extremely fascinating in helping
to legislate for Uncle Sam; and SO
much legislation is on the cards now
the fascination is stronger than it
has been in years.

A Limited Navy.

a demonstration of good faith that

This is all as 1t should be. and has
the full support Of the American poo
pie. But the matter does not end
there. The Secretary of the Navy
made 1t equally plain that this gov
ernment conceives itself Just as much
under obligation to maintain a Navy
up to the full strength allowed It
under the treaties as it is obligated
not to exceed that strength. And
again he outlined a policy which will
have hearty American support.
By this time whatever doubts may
have been entertained, at home or
abroad, as to the attitude Of the
American people and the American

In response to a proclamation by
President Harding. this entire coun-
try, down to the smallest hamlet. Is
going to steep itself during the week
Of December 8 in consideration OF all
phases Of education, stressing local
needs as we'll as the broadest aspects
of education as the greatest asset and
hope Of the nation.
President Harding's proclamation is
in answer to an appeal to him by
John ]. Tigert, commissioner Of edu-
cation, and a representative of the
American Legion. Cooperating in
the drive are the newspapers of the
tional organizations such as the
Federation of Women's Clubs, the
American Red Cross, the Rotarian
and Kiwanis clubs, the Masons and
the Knights of Columbus, the
American Federation Of Labor, etc.
1t is realized that though school
men and women have been getting tos
gether quite regularly and discussing
the need for better trained teachers
and other problems. the people gen.
orally have not taken the strong. per-
sonal zeal they should in education.
So this drive is to open UP the minds
of every one on this vital question.
and to arouse individual and general
enthusiasm.
It is not to be merely q school
room demonstration, or celebration.
Every governor has been asked to
issue a proclamation. Every state,
county and city and private school
operate. A "broadsids' Discussing
tho more important phases Of educa-
ton has been sent to all the news
papers, organizations. school officials,
libraries and other important agen-
cies throughout the country by the

everywhere have pledged their sup
port in interesting the people. So 1t
is evident that all agencies are being
stirred up to focus the thoughts OF
the people on education.

sof tobacco as good illustrations. Then
he touches the very nub Of the situa-

cation have never conceived the ne.

Mr.. DENLY only emphasized a fact
already known and fully weighed by
the American people when he said
that 1t would be folly to think of build
ing up a great American merchant
marine unless we are to have Navy
sufficient to command respect in all
seas for the flag flown by our mer-
chant ships. 1t was stalwart Ameri-
canism which the Secretary Of the
Navy preached. and in the knowledge
that he voiced the sentiments Of a
hundred million Americans lies as
surance that the republic has not yet
come to the time Of decadence.
