THE REFEREE
Annie
tBy Albert Applet

Annie
DO you want to buy the home of
Annie Laurie, the bonnie lassie about
whom we all have sung so often a?
It's offered for sale, over in Scot
land.
The English fear that some Amer
lean millionaire will buy it. He'd
probably install radio and enough
other contraptions to ruin it's natur-
al charm.
Americans have the money. And
the way they're buying art treasures
and historical relies is the night
mare OF Europeans. The hand of
destiny wears an iron glove.
Fashions
The hoopskirt is coming back in
England, and German women also
are falling in line.
No danger of the style spreading
to our country. You can imagine a
woman in hoopskirts trying to board
crowded street car, wedge herself
In a. divver or move about in a
modern apartment without knocking
the furniture over.
Congestion of population Is gradu-
ally compelling us to dress sensibly.
Sweets
Men now eat as much candy as
women, says Mrs. Ora H. Snyder of
Chicago, queen of the candy indus
try, who started in business thirteen
years ago by investing a nickel in an
egg and a cup of sugar.
Mrs. Snyder notices that men like
candies that have to be chsWed-
tatfies, butterscotches, etc. She says
the only reason men formerly did
nd
no one was making and advertising
the sort of candies they like.
Discover a want not being filled.
Then fill it. Success.
Yankee
Yankee genius, by inventing new
tangled improvements, is counteract-
Ing the cheap products threatening
us from Europe. So chuckles Dow
Service, business experts.
Yankee ingenuity became famous
long before the tabled Connecticut
gentleman sold wooden nutmegs.
1t can be counted on to save us
from almost any sort of internation-
al industrial peril. Inventiveness is
the most outstanding of all Ameri-
can traits. We create. Others imi-
tate. Often they improve. That's
not always so, but it's average true.
Mex
Mexico offers, to all its adult citi-
zens, land. Property owned by the
government is thrown open, for this
purpose, barring reservations. In a
general way, If a Mexican doesn't
soon own a patch of land it'll be his
own fault.
The Obregon government is wise.
Its land action is insurance against
l.
tent. The man who owns the land
on which he lives with his family is
rarely revolutionist.

WASHINGTON - The national
capital has become, overnight, a
bubbling. boiling. seething cauldron
of politics.
This political scramble began even
the very night of Harding's death.
There were conferences and caucus
es and consultations. Which way to
jump, and how, were the chief sub
jects of discussion. The death of
the president was deplorable, re-
grettable, too bad. But draw up,
everybody. The game must go on
and now therel1 be a new deal!
Politics is a cold and practical
business. Except as it can capitalize
the loyalty and sympathy of the
masses for a dead leader, transfer
ring or cementing that sympathetic
allegiance to the party he represent
ed, or to the individual who sue
ceeds him, it gives little thought to
the dead. 1t must keep it's eyes
ahead.
In this situation, the effect of
Harding's death on the 1924 politi-
cal situation has been given much
more serious consideration than its
effect on governmental activities and
policies. The speculation as to the
course to be followed by President
Coolidge has hinged much more
closely around how his acts would
shape the position of his party poll
tically next year than on how it
would affect national well-being.
This applies equally to those who,
within the Republican party, see in
the death of President Harding a
chance to pry the G. o. P. nomina-
ton next year away from the pres
ent occupant of the White House,
and those who are working to en-
trench Coolidge SO securely in party
leadership that he will be the Re-
publicans' one best bet. On the sur
face, to date, the latter appear to
be making best headway. That may
be because Coolidge and his boosters
have the spotlight for the present.
Politically, it is generally agreed
the death of President Harding less
ened the likelihood Of a third party
movement.
With Harding as candidate for
reelection, other G. o. P. contenders
would have had little look-in. The
only real opportunity for the anti
Harding elements would have been
the launching of new ticket, de-
signed to draw the liberal and
Farmer-Labor vote and which could
consolidate the various factions of
discomfort in all parties.
The Democrats saw in this the big
chance of their return to power. Now
they're not.so sure.
One month ago not one politician
In 100 suggested Cal Coolidge as
even remote possibility in tho 1924
campaign. Had Harding lived, the
same odds would have run against
the likelihood of 1Coolidge's renomi-
nation even for vice president.
But today, through the interposi-
ton of Fate, as the actual occupant
of the White. House, one could find
even money that he will head his
party's ticket in the next campaign.
But IL you listen closely, perhaps
you can hear gritting, grating
sound coming from the direction of
the District of Columbia.
That's the political grindstone,
turning twenty-four hours a day.
The loud buzZing that comes as an
occasional over-tone is the swarm
ing of the political bees.
When they settle, somebody's GO
ing to get stung. But who?
Ah-h! That's the question!

A. Booker T. Washington was
the son of mulatto slave and a
white man, which made him a quad
room. He was born near Haleford,
Franklin County, Virginia.
@. Is it against the rules to re-
double in Progressive Auction?
A. There is nothing in/the Laws
of Auction prohibiting a redouble
and there are no special rules for.
Progressive Auction. However, in
most progressive games the unwrit-
ten law against redoubling is OBJ
served. The reason for this is that
the game is not played for rubbers
but for high total score, and If re-
doubling is INDUCED in, reckless bid
ding, rather than skillful playing
becomes the determining factor.

Heated Interview Reported

1t Is said that his interview with
Roosevelt was a heated one. The
editor recited the circumstances that
led him and other Taft supporters
to fear that they were being double
crossed by the administration
forces and concluded with an en-
phatic declaration that If the Pres
ldent were a candidate and should
be NOMINATED, he, Nelson. would on
pose him with every resource at his
command. In preparation for this,
Nelson said. he was ready to launch
"a boom for Governor Johnson. of
Minnesota for the Democratic nomi-
nation.
Roosevelt resented the imputation
that his election night announcement
had not been made in good faith,
but Nelson insisted that even some
of the Presidents closest friends
were in doubt as to the Presidents
real intentions and declared that the
time had come for a showdown.
However accurate these reports
as to the nature of the interview NAV
be 1t is significant fact that inn
mediately thereafter Roosevelt is
sued what was known as his sec
ond renunciation, reiterating the
announcement he had made in 1904.
This statement was so explicit as to
admit of no misinterpretation and
'Iafts friends, as we'll as the other
candidates and their hackers, had
no further occasion for worry.
Were President Calvin Coolidge
to make it known that his ambitions
Harding policies during his present
term and to serving four years there
after in his own right, he might not
make his nomination next year as
easy and certain as Roosevelt made
his in 1904, but it is generally con-
ceded in Washington that he would
create a situation in which it would
be impossible for the opposition ever
to unite on one candidate against
him.
Every other candidate would nat
urally prefer to see a man nominat-
ed and elected in 1924 who would
be one-termer, for II any one else
were to be named next year he would
be a candidate again in 1928. Ac-
cordingly Coolidge would become a
second choice of each of his rivals,
and in those circumstances it would
be rather more than surprising if
he were not the nominee.
Another thing predicted of Presi-
dent Coolidge in the political specu-
lation that is now running riot is an
early announcement of his candidacy.
Those who know him say he is not
likely to indulge in any of the time
honored bunk" about waiting to see
II there is any demand" for his
candidacy, but that it would be more
in line with his character and record
for him to state frankly, as soon as
he may do so with propriety. that
he is ambitious to succeed himself
Such a course Of action on his part
it Is recognized. would fit in logically
with the pre-emptive bid strategy.
