Where the icicles are ripe and in

Miss Autumn. as she fingers, touches
trees with fairy fingers.
And the moon is shining like sill

The rivers dark below, but filled with
glittering gems on top.
Take your time, Mr.. Winter; take

A coronet of crystal on your naughty
head will nod.
Take your time, Mr.. Winter; take
your time.
You'll speed your frosty shafts like a
relentless demigod
And overwhelm the c!ty's dust and
CRIME.
But the simple life we're leading
brings us happiness exceeding
Any contemplation Of your state
sublime.
And, moreover, coal will cost a pretty
premium per hod.
Take your time, Mr.. Winter; take

There are signs that dumb bell" a
beautiful epithet, and in many ways
not inferior to ''flivver," is retiring in
favor of "oil can"
Slang has always been resourceful
in finding epithets for the person who

slow, who. is overdeliberate in COM

ters. Bone head" solid ivory"

terminal facilities" great man from

there is "dumb-bell." 1t has had a
fairly long run. and, in spite of its
familiarity, is still considered passa-
bile in the best slang circles. 1t is
short, obvtsus and always handy.
And why.1s"oil can? Do our slang
craftsmen see in that term merely
something which belongs to a bygone
era of illumination and architecture? :?
Do they think of something that is
covered with cobwebs. and laid away
in dark corner? Or do they care
how it is to be taken? Probably they
simply want another new synonym as
an addition to the long list of terms
characterizing the many phases Of
human errors. One thing is certain.

The President and the Campaign.

The President is right. OF course, in
declining an invitation to take the
stump. Such a step. as he states,
would be unethical. Moreover, it is
unnecessary. His position on all the
issues involved i'll the campaign is
well known as is the fact that he de-
sires another republican Congress to
fact, and was within his rights and
the proprieties in doing so.
Four years ago Mr.. Wilson. then
President. asked for the election of Il
democratic Congress and was criti
cized for his appeal. But his case diff
fers materially from Mr.. Harding's.
Then the war was on--a war that
had been declared and was then being
supported by both parties. The republi
cans, in the minority in Congress, had
followed and We're then following Mr..
Wilson's leadership unquestioningly
and ungrudEingly, voting war supplies
in whatever quantities and of what
ever character he had recommended
he was asking for Il democratic Con
gresS in order to be able to carry on.
The appeal was regarded by tbs coun-
try as ungenerous, and was rebuked
at the polls.
The present situation is altogether
different. The war is over, and party
government has been resumed. Mr..
Harding was elected President as
republican. and has been supported in
Congress by republicans and opposed
by democrats. Naturally. such will be
the case in the next Congress. Hence.
in order to be able to carry on-and
he has only begun-Mr. Harding
wants another republican Congress
elected. \ democratic Congress, or
even d democratic House, would fruS-
trate his plans and strive TO undo
what has been done on Capitol Hill
largely on his Recommendation.

that persons innocent of any part in
conspiracy will not be affected by
the courts order" And, to carry the
point further, the Indianapolis News
independently suggests that 1.-The
principle on which the decision is
based, namely, that citizens, no mat
ter who they are or what their pur-
pose. cannot, as individuals or in
combination. be allowed to interfere
with interstate commerce, or wage
such a war against it as to put in
jeopardy the lives of thousands of
people. This principle is fundamen-
tai"
Because the public should have a
clear understanding of Its rights to
demand protection from the effects of
suspension in essential industry"
the Canton News (democratic) be-
lieves that "the issues involved are
of the utmost Importance and should
be determined by the higher courts as
soon as possible" The Waterbury
Republican (repubiican) believes that
there are two important questions
to be cleared up by the higher court
first, can constitutional rights be
nullified by a federal court, when, in
the courts opinion. they are used to
an unlawful end, and. second. are
railroad strikes unlawful. even though
there is no law forbidding them, be-
cause they restrain trade. The is
sues involved are obviously of far
reaching consequence"

the Senate, inasmuch as special
primary has been called for the 18th
Of this month and the election will
take place November Z. There will
be no session Of Congress meanwhile,
and so, unless Mrs. FELTON, should her
self become a candidate and should be
elected, she will merely have served"
in recess with the title, and incidental
ly the pay and emoluments Of the Of
flee. as d matter of history.
Eventually, and perhaps soon, a
woman will sit in the Senate, and thus
Mrs. Feltons complimentary appoint
ment is merely a forerunner. 1t will
perhaps accustom the country to the
idea. 1t is possible that this departure
of Gov. Hardwick may have its effect
upon other campaigns for the Senate
this year than that in Georgia, may,
indeed, make votes for some of the
woman candidates for the Senate in
the states where they have entered
the lists.
Thre is something particularly de-
lightful in the enthusiasm with which
Mrs. FELTON, acknowledges her selec-
ton and the honor paid to American
womanhood in her appointment. She
has at eighty-seven years Of age re-
markable clearness Of vision and di-
rectness of statement which will cause
a regret that the circumstances will
not permit her to take her seat even
for a short time in the Senate. Per-
haps the newly elected senator from
that state will show Mrs. FELTON, the
courtesy Of allowing her to report on
the reconvening of Congress and take
her seat. even for only day before he
reports with his credentials. The coun.
try would appreciate such a gallant
action.

is made as much money for each
player.
Total receipts at the world series
games have ranged widely. In 1903.
when the series started, the attend
ance was only trifie over 100. 900 and
the receipts were s50,000. During the
next four years the attendance was
less but the receipts We're greater.
Beginning in 1909 the attendance went
to high point and the receipts as
well. Last year the attendance and
the receipts were both the highest on
record, 269.976 persons watching the
eight games and the books showing
S900,233 in paid admissions. The fiuc-
tuations in the total receipts and at
tendance have been due, in part, to
the difference in the number of games
necessary for decision and the varying
rates of admission. Thus, In 1914, only
four games were required and the
attendance was 111.0O9 and the re-
ceipts s225,739. while the players
divided s2.S12 and s2,031. respectively.
The lowest returns in modern times
We're those of the series of 1918. when
12S,4S2 people attended and paid $179,-
619. the players dividing, respectively.
$1.102 and $671.
Base ball is a money game-that is,
it depends upon the patronage of the
public, and the public pays an inn
mense sum annually for its support,
the largest single contribution of the
season being that made at the climactic
series for the world champion.

COME day when you are In Green

the spring poet Is to be found you
will notice in the smaller cafes would
be bards struggling with the muse

stubby, thick-leaded pencils. the ends
of which, between Inspirations, they
industriously chew. For the benefit
of the uninitiated 1t is perhaps we'll
to disclose the trade secret that spring
poems, like summer underwear, are
marketed during the winter months,
hence one can understand why now
and then between. the lines that tell
of babbling brooks and budding trees
you will catch suggestion of the

mated that about one out of every
ten thousand poems written is the
ratio of acceptance. This may, in part,
account for the long hair and frayed
cuffs of those who would wrest a Iiy-

paper.

"A man who would be successful in

his friend. He must ever strive to give
honest values and be courteous to
prospective patrons. Another point
that should be carefully considered is

World Series Figures.

Although the public interest in the
world championship games starting

which league will be rated the
stronger-there is always considera-
ton for the size of the melon the
players will cut. Under the rules Of

Of all the money taken in at the first

Dor cent will go to the clubs finishing
second in the two pennant races and

posted in another as a republican.
In New York he is hailed as demo-

faction to Tammany Hall. Leader
Murphy is pleased, and Candidate
Smith, a Tammany man, is pleased
also. Mr.. Hearst's act Is praised as
an exhibition of true sportsmanship,
and appraised as improving demo-
cratic prospects. The suggestion is
made that he may realize on it in a
practical way another year, particu-
larly if the Syracuse ticket is elected.
In Missouri Mr.. Hearst is posted as
a republican. Democratic opposition
to Senator Reed, Notwithstanding his
success in the primary, is organizing.
and among the charges made is that
part Of the senator's strength comes
from republican sources.
This opposition has issued an ad.

ership of a man indorsed and sup
ported by and owing his nomination
to the efforts of William Randolph
Hearst. George Sylvester Viereck,
Heinrich Heine. John C. Myers and
hosts of other republicans.
But these Missouri democrats ignore
the fact that in New York the Wilson
influence and the, Hearst influence are
cooperating. Candidate Smith was
brought into the field through VIII

Hearst; and now, having accomplished
that object, the Wilsonians find Mr..

Skaters and Motors.

In last Sundays Star was printed
an article which stated that officials
of the American Automobile Associa-
ton had requested the cooperation of
school authorities in restraining chill
dren on roller skates from catching
hold of passing motors to be towed.
The practice. it was pointed out, was
especially prevalent on certain streets
in this city which are still smoothly
paved. While there is a stringent
regulation of the traffic code against
this practice. police officials have been
loath to enforce it.
Yesterday a boy was killed in this
city while catching on" to a motor
car. He was on his way to school
when he took hold of a rear mud
guard of a passing motor. The ma
chine veered sharply to avoid a de-
preston in the pavement, and the boy
was flung aside and his skull was frac-
tured. The motorist, unconscious of
the accident. went on his way. No
blame whatever can be attached to
the driver of car to which a child
clings for towing unless he is aware
of the fact and permits it.
Now that this fatal accident has
given emphasis to the plea of the as
sociatiDn officials. the hope is that in
every school in Washington teachers
will warn the children against the
dangerous practice. Moreover. the
traffic officers should enforce the rule.
1t is true that the policemen are un-
der instructions to make friends with
the youngsters, to interfere as little
as possible with their play. But this
is case of life and death. and there
should be no hesitation about stopping
a motor car to which child is cling
ing. and at least administer warning
to the youngster.
The towed skater is not only in dan
ger himself. but a menace to motor
lists He may swing out to one side at
any moment in leaving the car to
which he has attached himself, going
directly into the path of the opposing
tTdillC. Tie HidS cause olieI ilidcLiiles
to collide through sudden swerves to
avoid him. Though escaping himself,
he may be the means of the death of
others.
All parents are naturally concerned
in this matter. They should supple
ment the warnings given by the teach
ers, and if the children will not quit
this practice they should confiscate
the rollers and thus make it impos-
sible for the boys and girls to put
themselves and others in danger.

Mr.. Beveridge at Columbus.

At Columbus yesterday Mr.. Bev-
eridge read his title clear to considera-
ton as a republican and administra-
tion man. His deliverance as keynoter
in the Presidents home state must
have met the utmost expectations of
the Presidents friends. II was 20 the
point, and cogent. 1t evaded nothing.
1t emphasized everything it touched.
1t was an approval sufficient of the
Presidents performances to date, and
a promise sufficient that if elected in
November the speaker would be found
cordially supporting in the Senate the
Presidents further efforts to redeem
the republican promises of 1920.
This was in the nature of things.
1t accorded with Mr.. Beveridge's
standing as man and politician. He
has never lacked for the courage
Of his convictions. He has never
double-crossed anybody. When in full
agreement with his party he has been
among its foremost champions. When
differing with it he has taken position
openly and paid the penalty of any
mistake made.
And yet some of the democratic
leaders have been trying to throw a
scare" into the republican camp in In
diana and elsewhere by asserting posi-
lively when not insinuating slyly that
Mr.. Beveridge as a candidate is load
ed," and if elected will bore from
within" and do his utmost to forward
a plan for scrapping the republican
party and putting in its place for the
next quadrennial contest new party
fashioned on lines differing widely
from those of accepted republican
character
