A Glance at 1924.
By SaYoyard

A lot of folks who love the novel
in life are busy running up and down
our glorious union in search of Re-
publican statesman to succeed War
rem G.. Harding in the White House.
It is doubtful if such man can be
discovered. If the G. O. P. elects
the president of the United States in
1924 the chances are ten to one that
his name will be Warren G. Harding.
If his present administration is sue
cessful nobody can beat Mr.. Harding
for the nomination Of his party; II
the administration should prove a
failure then, and in that event, the
Republican nomination for president
in 1924 will be of small value.
R. B. Hayes was the only RepuDll-
can who ever held the office of pres
ident of the United States who was
not a candidate for a second term
and he would have been such candl-
date had not the candidature been
both impossible and ridiculous owing
to the them manifest and now estab-
lished fraudulency of his title to the
chief Magistracy. All things consid-
cred the administration of Hayes was
remarkably successful 1t was the
only administration of our history
that never had the aid of party
majority in the national house of re-
presentatives a single day of its eX-
istence, and the second admlnlstra-
ton of Grover Cleveland (1S93-9O
was not more odious to the leaders of
the Democratic party then barking
up 16 to l tree there was nothing
in," than the Hayes administration
was odious to the leaders OF the Re-
publican party who were then snarl-

pie so consider it. When one re-
fleets that such state as Michigan,

has elected a Democratic senator,
the feeling of the voters may be
imagined. Perhaps the feature that
is most gratifying to southern people
is that the south is Democratic once
more. The only Republican repre-
sentatives left are those who had no
opposition. And had the Democratic
avalanche been surmised beforehand,
these would have also gone to the
discard where they belong.

TOLBERT DRESSES UP.
Looks Very Dapper Without Neck
Tie.

Greenwood, Nov. S.-A brilliant
new gold collar button graced the
neck Of Joseph Warren Tolbert, Re-
publican national committeeman and
pie dispenser, when he began his
first full term of court here today as
United States marshal for the Wes-
tern district. The new marshal
dressed up for the occasion, but he
scorned the necktie he has never
worn, and only compromised with
convention by wearing new gold
collar button and a new collar button
and new linen collar.
Although the committeeman has
attended national Republican con-
claves, various social functions in
Washington and his dined with the
President he has never sacrificed his
pride to the convention Of neckties.
Dressed in a natty gray suit, bril-
liantly polished shoes and lavender
striped shirt, Mr.. Tolbert was as
dapper as collegian except for the
necktie when he strobe into court
this morning.
After a vigorous fight in the Sen
ate made by Senator Dial, Tolbert
was given a recess appointment as
marshal, to succeed c. J. Lyon, by
President Harding.

that commonwealth was about 5000,
and four years later Kentucky gave
Tilden nearly $4,000 majority, and in
the Greeley campaign the election re-
turns from Kentucky were typical of
the returns from all the other states
except in the cotton South, where the
bayonet cast the ballot.
Well, here is Republican authority
for it that Governor Miller Of New
York is the greatest Republican liv-
ing. This is writ before November Z
and if he should be defeated for re-
election it takes him out of the &C
count. Right now "the woods is full'
of Republicans who want him named
for president in 1924. However, the
Harding administration may have as
much human nature as had Arthur's
and that. doubtless, will give pause
to the Miller boom.

old in 1924, but Beveridge is willing.
Meanwhile La Toilette is busy
fashioning the Progressive movement
of 1924 and there is no Roosevelt in
sight to swipe it as Teddy swiped it
in 1912. There is promise that there
will be a heap of politics in our glori-
Gus union in 1924 and oh if the De-
mocratic party could only gain the
grace to be Democratic and not dam
phool them!

ing and biting over the quarrel
whether Grant should have a third
term or Blaine a first term. Neither
Conkling, the champion of Grant, nor
Blaine who personally led his own
forces, was on speaking terms with
the White House, where R. B. Hayes
was the puppet of John Sherman, and
there is no denying that Sherman
gave the country an excellent aumin-
istration, removing as he die the
bayonet from the South and resum-
ing as he did specie payments.
1t was the success of the Hayes
administration that made it possible
for the party of Great Moral Ideas to
buy the presidency for James A. Gar
field in 1880, and pay cash in hand
for it with Doodle Levi P. Morton
raised in the Union League club, Gar
field was a candidate for second
term before he was inaugurated in
1881. Counting Hayes out of the
bunch Chester A. Arthur was the only
Republican president who was denied
a nomination while in office, and the
event proved disastrous and is yet
warning. Blaine beat Arthur for the
nomination in 1884 and was defeated
by Cleveland, though Arthur, by a
wink or a nod, could have elected him.

lucky. Both owned their success to
the unspeakable asshood that broke
out in the Democratic party in 1896
and adhered to it till 1912. Grant, too,
was lucky and owed his se"ond elec-
tion to the hundreds Of thousands of
Democrats who refused to vote for
Horace Greeley. Here is one of 40
illustrations. In 1868 Seymour's ma
jority in Kentucky was nearly 100,-
900. In 1872 Greeley's majority in

The Road Hog.

Yorkville Enquirer.
"Here,' said an automobile driver
this morning, "Is a description of a
road hog and believe it will keep
lot of road pigs in this neck of the
woods from becoming hogs if they
were given the opportunity to read
it:
What is a road hog? A road hog
is a driver of an automobile who uses
both sides and the middle of the pub
lie highway in which to travel from
place to place. His manners are
bad and his regard for the rights of
others is poor. He is hard to fatten
and would make mighty poor quail
ity of pork, if he were sent out to the
packing house. He lives and moves
and has his being the same as other
hogs, but he refuses to even grunt
when you drive into a ditch and give
him the entire road. He is danger
Gus animal for he is calculated to
hurt someone or kill his fool self.
But what's the use of talking about
road hogs? Why not elevate our
minds with more desirabl subjects
such as hookworm, small pox, flu
cabbage snakes and boil weevlls?'

The inevitable has happened. Miss
Alice Robertson, the only woman in
congress, has been defeated. Miss
Robertson is a game politician, and
if she had been little more particu-
lar in the selection Of her party af-
filiation doubtless she would have
remained in congress. But, unfor-
tunately, she cast her lot with the
Republicans, and this is bad year
for the G. O. P. A Democrat, W. W.
Hastings, by name, will supercede
Miss Robertson next March fourth.

Last weeks election was one of
the greatest victories the Democratic
party has ever achieved. While the
Democrats have not recovered a
majority in either house, the eX-
tent of the reaction of the country
for the G. o. P. may be imagined
when the Republicans have ma
jority in the lower house of con-
gress now of 165 votes. The next
congress will see this majority re-
duced to fifteen, which really means
no majority at all, for with the aid
of the progressive and insurgent Re-
publicans, the Democrats will virtu-
ally have control of the house. At
least, the Republicans cannot hope
for a hold up of the country. This
decisive vote in the north and the
west came, too, without serious fight
on the part of the Democratic party.
and the extent of the victory was
never even imgained by the Demo-
Gratis themselves. The total cam
paign funds of the Democratic party
was not even a decent fractional
part Of that of the Republicans. The
election proves one thing most con-
clusively: The Republican party has
made a mess of things since it was
entrusted with the administration of

The Chevy Chase Club has a prob
lem, it seems-a difficult. irritating
puzzle. the solution of which is test
ing the best minds OF the board Of
governors of the club.
Shall the feminine members golf
or not golf on Sundays and late
afternoons? That is the question
which is making the summer atmos-
phere still more summery for those
holding the "say-so" positions on the
club and restless ones urging them
to make a decision.

paid his $300-or .thereabouts-

club, namely. golfing:
1T is annoying. really. to 60 out
to the club after office hours to get
a little exercise before dinner and
then find the course cluttered up
yes. cluttered up-with skirts that
are taking about 200 to get around
in. All day long they have to try
at golf-nothing else to do-and yet
they must wait until late in the
afternoon to take their golf sticks
in hand and go gossiping snail-like
over the links, wasting lot of time
ogling-er-er the men. Good Lord

speaking-but there Is a time for
everything and the time for the
Chevy Chase Club ladies to play
golf is before p. m. and not at all
on Sundays. AT that they. have
more time for IL than we poor mas
culine mortals. 1t is an outrage, I
say, really!'
Added to the difficulty of the
problem is the position favorable
to the golfing women taken by some
OF the men-chiefly husbands-who
of their own accord. or due to the
power behind the throne. insist they
don't have any other time to be
with their wives but these few
hours on the golf links. However.
it has been observed that wives and
husbands playing together is un-
usual on the Chevy Chase links.
So. what is TO be done about It?
1t is really too bad to have the
heated edge put on a hard-working.
golf-loving mans temper at this
season of the year.
Weekend putting tournaments
for the women helped a little to
keep the feminine enthusiasts OF
the course-but why put among
femininity when one can prettily
pout before masculine gaze when
one makes an especially poor stroke
on the course.
Well! Irritation perhaps will find
a way.
