siderable damage to aItaifa fields

BACK YONDER

We always suspected it when we saw amateur theatfieals
at the high schoel-those old-time Colonial gents in lace cuffs
and knee pants found it difficult to wear a sword comfort
ably: A copy of Bradford's New York Gazette, dated 1874,
carrid this ad:
stLately imported, a choice parcel of swords. The blades
are old, but the handles are made after the newest fashion.
They may be worn indifferently by men, women and children
without hurting themselves or any other persons.''
A sword must have kept getting in the way when sitting
down, not te>mention tripping up strangers in a crowd.
By the way, do you realize that it'll only a matter Of less
than a couple Of centuries since men had to carry swords or
cadgels to protect their livesG Policeman does it for us now.

The Boston Gazette in 1865 printed this letter from a
reader:
"To me it seems high time for us to abate in our extrava-
gances, Tor at present our folly has scarce any bounds as to
eating and drinking. In a few years we shall all becoma
turtle eaters, and a number of vessels may be employed in that

THE GASOLINE PRICE WAR"

The gasoline "price war; that has begun in the Middle West
will temporarily benefit consumers, but it is more than likely that
when the prevailing condition in the oil industry has been reme-
died, prices will snap back where they belong.
There is bound to be a great many casualties in this 'war'
and that is one regrettable fact about it. Another is that when
the 'ssmoke of battle has lifted and the people can survey calmly
the results, there is likely to be found less competition in the oil
business than there has been. The inevitable consequences of
'price wars which bring to consumers for a short time wanted
products at low prices is the elimination of the weaker factors in
the business.
Independent oil companies in competition with the Standard
organizations have, a great many of them, grown so strong of late
years that there need be no fear of monopoly, but that the gaso-
line business will be in fewer hands hereafter is to be expected.
That may make for higher prices than have been charged in the
past
Oyer-production of crude oil has forced down prices of this
product. There has been an overproduction Of petroleum pro-
ducts, of gasoline among them. This has depressed the price of
gas almost everywhere in the country. The sharp cuts now
announced in the Middle West apparently carry the price below
the cost Of production and distribution. If they did not there
would be no complaints from the "weak sstersi that they will
Be forced out Of business BY them.

NEW 0RLEANSHWhen 1t came
to peerlng, Cap was without q
peer.
If you ever visited one of the most
famous of the famous bars that
flourished in New Orleans In the pre-
Volstead era, you doubtless saw him
peering through the cashiers cage.
And If you ever happened to attend
the best theatre of the city, when a
first-night performance was on, you
surely must have seen him peering
through a battered pair of green
opera glasses
A twisted and gnarled left hand,
the result of infammatory rheuma=
tism, was no handicap for Cap
when it came to raking in he shek-
els at his cage. Now that the ia
nous bar Is gone, Cap and his
job have been parted but the peer
of peerers still peers at every OPEN
ing performance.
Many have wondered where cap"
did his peering during the day. Yes
terday the secret came out. An old
man, with his left hand drawn and
twisted, hobbled out of a a and
thumped up Camp street on his
srutches. The car moved out of
sight. The man on crltches loeAed
around stealthily, then pumped
himself on the sidewalk, held out
his wretched hand, and began peer
ing ~piteously into the faces of
passerS-by.
Judging from the spick and span
car, the chauffeur and the first night
habit still unbroken, peering pays
better on the sidewalk than through
the cashiers cage of a ginnery.

A few minutes later there was a

running out holding up a three
pound black bass. He had been un-
able to find the lost bal but he had
seen the bass feeding in. the moss at

1louSe Is nanuled at present in some
such fashion, with good results, al
though it is possible that such as
isistance to the chief executive might
be better organized and more effic-
,iently handled.
Routine Not So Burdensome
As a matter of fact it is not the
routine business that is so burden
some to the President. 1t is the
handling of patronage and the de-
termining of administration policies
with respect to legislation, execu-
tive procedure, foreign affairs and
party matters that subject him to
the constant grind that drains his
nervous energy and saps his phys
sal strength.
The President is not only the chief
executive of the Nation; he is also
the titular head of his party. He
has obligations to the people as a
whole that must be discharged faith
fully; he has obligations t. his party
as we'll.
During the first term the Presi-
dent is always a candidate for re-
nomination n reelection. He
must, p%reforce, play politics." how
ever dlstasteful that role may be to
MIN. He can not be a successful
statesman if he is a poor politician,
anu conversely, he can not be a
PREMIER politician if he has not a
genius Tor true craftsmanship. 1t
Is his duty to his party to perpetuate
himself or his party in power. If
ne does not do this or do his utmost
TO accomplish it, then he is recreant

Patronage has been a heavy bur-
den to every President, but none of
them has been able to escape il. He
may delegate the ~selectiVe power. to
a large extent, but he can not decline
to receive and hear the claimants
for jobs and their friends and back
ers. If he does decline he will dis
rupt his party organization and nee
essarily can not build up a personal
organization. If he does too much
OF the former he will wake up some
|hne morning and discover thai the
man to whom he has delegated his
power is in reality the President of
the United States.
The late Senator Foraker, of Ohio.
was once instructed by the Legis-
iature of that State as to how he
should vote on a bill amending the
interstate Commerce Act, and was
threatened with censure from the
Republican State Convention for his
failure to follow such instructions.
In a fiery speech to the convention
n eloquent Senator declared that
the deciding as to how he should
vote as a Senator was his RESPONSE
bility, under his oath, to his State
and to the Nation.
Take hal away" said the Sem
ator, "and you will have taken from
the office of Senator all that makes
1t worth while-and So far as l am
concerned you can take the office
with it,"
Those who would seek to lessen
the responsibilities of the Presidency
would do we'll to consider the as
pect of the question suggested by
he attitude taken by Senator For
aker and by the fact that the State
convention did not censure him but
gave him a vote of confidence in
