THE COUNTRY HOME
MRS. w. II. FELTON,

to start another civil war" The troops
were there. SO when this last election day
came, | was too ailng to leave my house,
aud with no news as to the result, until it
was dark in the evening, | prayed,
Dear Lord, remember the helpless, the in
nocant and give us what Thy Omniscience
knows and what is best for us!' and there
! tried to lay down my anxiety and wait for
the answer to my sincere and patriotic
prayer. SO | am comforta bic to the re-
suit. | believe the entire country shares
that comfortable feeling, too / hope some
body will take the trouble to explain to me-
if | am mistaken. but | saw movement to
deadlock the election and place Mr.. Charles
Bryan in the vice presidents chair by the
methods used by the so-called farm bloc
composed of four western senators and four
southern senator's with fifth, Senator La
Toilette, cha rman and thus unite the solid
south with the radical west il a combination
to destroy our established form Of American
sovernment-by electoral votes elected in
the states and counted before congress in
February, 1925, which had been our uni
Versal custom heretofore. To be entirely
frank, I was like the people of Nebraska
tired and surfeited with Organism. Too
much of good dinner is apt to make one
sick at the stomach, and my nausea began
to trouble me when the elder Mr.. Bryan de-
nounced the Democratic Davis as unfit tim
Der for president at the Madison Square
convention, and three days after the NOM
nation wired his admiration and support to
the new candidate Meanwhile, it was six
of one and half dozen of the other if Mr.
Charles Bryan would not be placed on the
La Toilette rather than the Davis, ticket,
and that impression doubtless prevailed in
Nebraska, where Coolidge carried the state,
from the highest to the lowest candidate, and
with short shrift for its governor, Charles
Bryan.
/ am no prophecies, but that combination
in the senate with four solid south senators
and five western state Republicans to con-
troll a presidential election will not be very
pa latable history to read about fifty years
from today. Senator Wheeler, a renegade
Democrat, and CASTOR Means and Miss
Roxie," and their cohorts which assaulted a
dead president and made effort to defame
the chief executive of the nation, and you
can understand why the election carried ev.
cry state in the union vote for Coolidge, eX-
~cept Wisconsin and the old Confederate
states, leaving out the gallant Kentuckian,
who made such a poor race in the Blue
Grass state. Missouri, barring Senator Jim
Read, has about absoved itself Of solid
south politics. owing to an excess of Bryan
ism in 1912 and the fate of Hon Champ
Clark by one of his delegates, hailing
from Nebraska, who went over to Mr.. Will
son for sake of a high office

HOW DOES IT LOOK TO YOU?


Y HAVE kept in close touch with the big
| three Atlanta newspapers and read the
a. New York Times regularly, and ! am go
ing to try to tell the Country Home Readers
how it looks to me, and they can agree with
me or they can have their own opinion still
This weeks election has relieved the country
OF great anxiety. | am so old that | have
some knowledge of presidential elections
since 1840--that was eighty-four years ago
| remember only the excitement and some
banners, emblazoned with Tippecanoe and
Tyler too. Some miniature log cabins
which went along with hard cider, too were
in evidence even at a militia court ground
where the election was held in the back
room of my fathers country store This
back room had an outside door opening into
the forest land in the rear. | could peep in
and did. (The Cherokee Indians were not
removed until | was three years old-1838-
and voting was attractive.) ] was an ca ger
listener when the Polk and Clay campaign
was on and the election was held in the
same place, in 1874. | stepped inside and
watched what was going on. | had been
there some little time when my father one
of the managers, said: my daughter, go to
your mother. How did you get in here?"
l did not tarry long enough to tell him

can call to mind my anxiety and later my
appointment
All along l have had these anxious pains,
if [ may thus designate them.

with all the ups and downs it brought to
the south and | could trouble ahead
if a deadlock occurred and the congress I'M
dertOok to break it before the 4th Of March E,
1925.
My recollection of the Tilden-Hayes cam
paign came over me, also. | was in Wash

be sure. l did not lose a single thing that

in the dining rooms and corridors of the no.

a Democratic caucus held in Wormley S
hotel, and somebody told my husband (and
he told me) that pressure had been put on
certain southern Democrats and the electoral
commission would settle the business. After
that | was prepared to eXpect-Well, what
happened.

On Mailing Oneself

-HAT adventurous gentleman OF San
Francisco who, covered with seven
hundred and eighteen dollars worth
OF postage stamps, presented himself at
the government airdrome for aerial trans
mission to New York, was barred from the
mails. But he may yet have his wish. The
postoffce authorities, while ruling that mo
body is to ride in air mail except depart
ment officials add that sooner or later it
may be possible to carry passengers.
Sooner, we should say II recent develop
ments in aviation are to be taken as a fore
cast In the course of the year more than
fifteen thousand pay" passengers have
crossed the English Channel by air, and
other thousands have flown between almost
any two European capitals that might be
named. The transatlantic voyage of the
notable long distanee flights on which pas
sengers carried without mishap The
Germans have operated q commercial line
from Berlin to Moscow, the French from
Paris to Constantinope, and the British
from London to Cologne. While these may
have been more interesting than important,
they at least have shown what could be
done. In the case of the French line from
Toulouse to Casablanca, Morocco, there is an
actual record of million and a half letters
carried in the course of twelvemonth
In this aforementioned field of Enterprise
leadership is with the United States. Our
mail planes fly two million miles year be-
tween New, York and San Francisco, main
tanning schedules remarkable for regularity
and promptness and reducing the time to
less than forty per cent of that required
for the transcontinental run by the fastest
railway trains. "a number of months have
passed. runs a recent report without a
single failure to complete trip or Sc
rious delay, and averages of ninety -eight or
ninety-nine per cent have become common
place. Few OF the European passenger lines
can show averages OF better than ninety-five
per cent, even during the summer months.
Furthermore, since July l, 1924, the mail
has been flown by night as we'll as by day.
this being the first attempt at commercial
night flying on regular schedule. The to-
tai elapsed time in transit from coast to
coast is now thirty hours"
Such achievements merit more generous
recognition than they have yet received at
the hands of Congress. 1t Is to be hoped
that at the coming session appropriations
for the substantial encoura cement of the air
service will be made.

Commerce News:

enterprise and the ability to reach extern

These operations have led hasty observers
to conclude that the ants were eating or
