A SUNNI ER REVERE

Next in interest and Importance to
the ninety-footers, is our quadrennial
race between the political parties for
the office of President and Vice Presi-
Gent. In the yacht race the two boats
are keyed up and tuned up for weeks
before facing TIE starting line. Every
spar and mast is scraped and pol
ished the stays are made taut as a
base viol string, the sails trimmed
to nicely, the bottom freed from
every barnacle till all is ready for
the great moment of the firing gun
The whole world awaits this final
moment and They're Off" is the sig-
nal that is echoed in every land.
So in the great American race for
President every four years. The
United States being still in the ex-
rerimental stages of the Republican
form of government, and being the
richest and most powerful of all ma
tions, is the cynosure of all eyes, and
the race is watched with as much
interest in every land as in every
town, city and village of our own
country.
In our great Presidential races the
yacht race is an exact parallel The
preparations are all made with as
much precision as the yacht race. The
candidates are eliminated, then the
lull of grooming goes on till the nom-
nations are verified in the notifica-
ton speeches and the signal, They're
eff" is given. In the present great
struggle the preparations are all prac-
tically over, and presently we shall
see the struggle commence. There
has been no race in the Presidential
Series more interesting than this
one of 1924. The candidates of the
two great parties have been carefully
selected. Mr.. Coolidge first on the
one side, Mr.. Davis next on the other
Both are men of fine, typical Amer
lean spirit Each with special points
of recommendation with ability, dig
nifty, poise and praiseworthy achieve
ments in their careers, and though
the feeling is running high among the
partisans, it is anybody's race 1t is
an imposing spectacle to see these
two champions ready to set sail over
the line. And although there is great
certainty and hope that Mr.. Coolidge
will win, there is as much belief that
Davis will conquer. Thus we have
our proud nation halting between two
opinions, with no lack of interest, and
everyone enthused to pitch of inter-
est seldom exceeded. And when it is
all over we shall find the nation set
Ting to adjust itself to the conditions
that will ensue from the policies to be
adopted by the successful man.

HIS WlFE'S CHURCH

A recent press dispatch states that
John W. Davis attended his wife's
church on Sunday"
What the dispatch intended to con-
vey was that Mrs. Davis is an Episco-
palian and Mr. Davis is a Presby-
terian. AS there is no Presbyterian
church at Locust Valley, the little
village where the Davis family lives,
Mr.. Davis went to the church of
which his wife is member, and not
to his wife's church"
The fact is, that phrase, "his wife's
church." is too common in this land
of ours. OF course we have emanci-
pated women these days, independent
women, authoritative women and wild
women but surely they haven't sub.
dued their husbands to the degree
that the latter give up all church
preference and accept their wives
preferences. Anybody acquainted with
the Bible knows in what esteem Saint
Paul held the women, and it is impos.
sible that Pauls attitude toward
women in the church was not intend.

itory. He told them almost in so
many words that they were secondary
in the church, and we decline to be.
lieve they have become primary. Pres.
ident Coolidge has been reported as
favoring his wife's church with his at.
tendance, and now it is being told
that Mr.. Davis is going to his wife's
church with that lady. These are
not the most admirable of signs
They may signify submissiveness
on the part of the two eminent citi.
zens, dutifulness in itself admirable
but they do not indicate very rugged
sense of theological values. We be.
lieve in personal theologies, in dog
ma, obduracy, austerity in matters
churchly. We admire the old, stern,
rigorous churchmen who made a re.

MR.. kEAN'S PLATFORM

Hamilton F. Kean, Republican can
didate for the United States Sen
ate, today sets forth in other columns
OF this issue, the platform on which
he asks support of his candidacy.
Mr.. Kean stresses his belief in the
imperative necessity of supporting the
President, his party and the best in
terests of the people of the nation and
New Jersey. He devotes a plank to
New Jerseys progress and promises
assistance in the fulfillment of pro-
gram, which, if carried out, will prove
OF extreme benefit to New Jersey
and rank it still higher among our
states
Mr. kean expresses his belief in the
and is particularly anxious to rid pro-
hibition enforcement of damning po-
litical affiliation.
He pledges to the people of New
Jersey unceasing effort to effect strict
est economy in Government with fur
ther reductions in tax burdens. He
is considerate of every need of the
disabled soldier. His platform prom
ises much for labor and agriculture.
Mr.. Kean is desirous of freeing New
Jersey from the pernicious domina-
tion of personal political machines.
Mr.. Kean's platform is a frank and
open statement of what he stands for.
There is no equivocation. There is no
straddling. His issues are we'll de-
fined. His position is courageously
taken. In a word, Mr.. Kean's plat
form commends itself to the voters
of New Jersey. 1t is an instrument,
which, taken in connection with his
service to his party and Jersey men
and women, is worthy of commanding
support

PERSONALITIES IN POLITICS

In offering Ex-Governor Brewer a
joint debate. to be held at Clarksdale
August IL, Senator Harrison said:
eve are both candidates for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator, and I cannot see
how any good could come to our
party or our State by debating
your personal opinion of me-
The sentence carries a well-merited
rebuke. In announcing his candidacy
Ex-Governor Brewer stated that he in
tended to make a campaign on issues,
and would refrain from personalities,
but in all of his addresses he has
been extensively personal in his refer
ences to Senator Harrison, and has
frequently made statements not war
ranted by facts, and grossly misrep-
resenting his opponent before the
voters of ississippi.-Jackson Miss,
News.
Personalities in politics. while they
do not belong, are hard to eradicate.
Theodore Roosevelt was master
mind at this type of campaigning. His
opposition to his opponents amounted
to an obsession, and he was vindictive
to the last degree. Roosevelt made
Taft President, vet in the second Taft
campaign his mentor could not say
enough against him. There is a very
hot personal contest going on at the
present moment in New Jersey.

A Beautiful Spectacle

Those who get up early enough
these waning July mornings are given
spectacle in the Eastern heavens
rarely seen to such advantage. Close
to the zenith, and both large through
refracted rays, the thinning crescent
of the moon is enhanced by the close
position of Venus, now reigning as
the morning star. The picture is one
of wondrous beauty, the marvel of
it all being that we know so little be-
yond speculation of what the moon
and Venus are except that the moon
IL the earth's satellite and Venus is
a planet like or unlike our own. And
to the right of these morning posers
of the sky is red Mars, bit higher
in the heavens, and dazzlingly brilliant,
as though nesting there to the South,
a quarter stretch away, as witness in
the race to the East. The more one
sees of the stars the more enthralling
they are, if we stop to think when we
look.

studying mankind found himself in a
great city and there accosted a man
on the street. "This place." said the
traveller, Seems a little crowded, and

hicks who would yearn to reform me.
There's nothing to see in the coun-
try anyway, and here we have a splen-
did art gallery and a wonderful IL
brary and things like that. We are
generations ahead of rural people in

Perhaps you are right" said the
traveller. "And l suppose you spend
much time in the art gallery and the
library?"

gan to make conversation. ut seems
rather lonely out here" said he.
Don't you get tired Of it at times and
yearn to live in some great city where
there are libraries and art galleries
and things like that?"
WELL" replied the farmer, "cities
are noisy, wicked places, and the
milling crowds get on my nerves.
Out here in Gods great out of doors

few temptations for our children. l

here, but I'm used to it and my work

WILSON'S REAL HEART

A Wall Street man who early be-
came Woodrow Wilson enthusiast
induced member of the Stock Ex-
change to join him in trip to Prince
ton where just after his first nomina-
ton for Governor of New Jersey 'The
Professor" was holding a somewhat
personally exclusive reception. He
had not yet received formal official
notification by the representatives OF
the nominating convention-this ad.
vance session of friends being little
surprise, arranged by intimates who
Just couldn't wait to let their lively
interest be shown.
The Stock Exchange mamie was
a Governor-joined the excursionists
because he was drafted. He had
never taken part in practical politics; !;
he was SO far from fixed partisanship
that he could not tell but by especially
counting what presidential ticket he
had oftener voted. Woodrow Wilson s
meteoric way out of the class room
had enough engaged his wonder to
make it worth while to take the day
off for closeup contemplation of "the
scholar in politics."
Felicities filled the experience. Mr.
Wilson won his pilgrims by one of the
happy speeches he spoke SO we'll.
From mere curiosity as to newly ar.
riving political figure, the Stock Ex-
change man passed forward into an
enthusiastic admiration almost ap-
preaching his friends, and at the
days end he found himself so much
moved by what he had seen, what he
had heard, that before he went to bed
he found himself impulsively writing
to Princeton.
mot as q Democrat" his message
read, "but as citizen competent,
believe, to know my duty to my coun-
try, | ask you to permit me to hold
myself in readiness to contribute my
mite to the cause you represent.
1t was not till election was over,
Wilson elected, that the Stock Ex-
change mans letter got acknowledge
ment. Then came an invitation to the
Trenton Inauguration, and with it a
note OF graciousness whose sentences
included this:
Your spontaneous offer to con
tribute to the cause made a mighty
human appeal to me, but somehow
thought would rather personally
have your friendship than have my
politicians have your check

That governor of the Stock Ex-
change was Ernest Groesbeck.
