The Sacred Carpet.

Mecca, the capital of Arabia and
the cradle of Islam, will this year
have to do without the sacred carpet,
on which the prophet is supposed to
have said his prayers. This carpet,
kept by the kings of Egypt, will no
longer be taken to Mecca at the time
of the prilgrimages. 1t is the aboli-
tion of the caliphate by the Turks
which has created this situation. The
King of Hedjaz desires henceforth to
kings of Egypt. however, do not
agree with this pretension. and the
sacred carpet will remain In Cairo

SHOOTING STARS.
By PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Wrong Every Way.

It's wrong to be a demagogue
And sway the mighty masses.
It's wrong the course of thought to
clog
BY stirring up the classes.
We now take counsel when we strike
The man Of agitation
Who tries to dig up something like
Marc Antony's grafton.
The people critical have grown
And frank in their arraignment,
Comparing any speech highf1own
With expert entertainment.
It's best in reasons path to jog
And simulate no passion.
It's wrong to be a demagogue
Because it's out Of fashion.

Member of the Associated Press,
A New York Faction Fight.


son Square Garden convention Demo
cratic leaders in New York made
dead set" at Gov. Smith to induce
him to announce his candidacy for re-
nomination. He had developed such
strength at the national meeting that
it was felt he would greatly aid the
presidential ticket. In 1920, although
defeated for reelection. he ran very
Tar ahead Of Cox. Harding carried the
State with over a million votes, and
Smith was beaten by about $4,000. So
the hope was born that a State ticket
headed by Smith would be large as
set for Davis in the bid for New
York's 45 electoral votes.
Then came William Randolph
Hearst with a strong Endorsement for
nomination, which was regarded by
the Smith people as a challenge. Ell
forts were redoubled to get the gov
ernor to commit himself to candidacy.
He has thus far remained silent on the
specific question, but in a formal reply
to Mr. Hearst, which he issued yester-
day, he came close to accepting the
challenge. Without definitely men,
tioning the governorship, he says OF
Mr.. Hearst in his undertaking to ad-
wise the Democratic party:
He attempts to say something about
water power. He has no more under
standing of that subject than the man
in the moon. | am sure that the Demo-
AZ
fort, but it has not any use for his ad-
vice. When it needs advice it will go to
Democrats for it, and not to either
dema gogue or crackpot.
This may be taken as declaration
Of war, or an acceptance of Hearst
declaration of war. To call a man a
demagogue or a crackpot is assuredly
cause for hostilities, even though
there may be some doubt as to the
exact meaning of the latter word,
which does not appear in the diction-
ary. Imagination, however, has little
difficulty in supplying definition.
The political possibilities of a re-
newed and intensified Smith-Hearst
conflict are sufficiently serious to cause
concern at Democratic national head
quarters. Mr.. Davis must have New
York's As votes to win majority of
the electoral college if La Toilette
carries enough States in the North.
west to give him so votes. While it is
hardly conceivable that Hearst would
throw his strength to Coolidge, it is
possible that he may indorse La Fol
lette, which would appreciably cut
down the Davis vote in New York
State.
There is another angle to this mat
ter that has its element of concern
for Democratic campaign managers.
Mayor Hylan is an aspirant for third
term. He and Tammany are not on
the best of terms. He is just at pres
ent the guest of Mr.. Hearst in Cali
fornia. Should open war break out be-
tween Smith and Hearst this means
practically war between Tammany
and Hearst. Hylan may run as an in
dependent candidate for mayor and
thus further complicate the metropoli-
tan situation, which would cause trou-
BILE for the party in the State. So that
the Smith candidacy for governor,
with it's Hearst-Hylan-Tam fac
tors of ticket cutting. may not prove
after all 80 much of an asset for the
Democratic national ticket in the
State which must be carried if victory
is to be gained.
