STEALING REPUBLICAN THUNDER

Just when the Republican administra- tion was preening itself in self-lauda- tory content over the part played by the administration in the London confer ence, the League of Nations ruthlessly reaches in and seizes the chief thunder bolt in the Republican campaign arsenal. Without paying particular attention to the tentative plan of President Coolidge to call another world conference on dis
 armament, the league calmly proceeds to discuss disarmament plans and a confer ence of it's own. There can be no doubt that the league, comprising in its mem bership more than forty powers of the earth, including all the powers sum- moned by President Harding to the Washington conference, has some ground for believing that it's leadership in this matter is difficult to contest. These nations, constituting the great majority, ave banded together in this league for the express purpose of establishing har- mony among nations and permanent peace. if such a condition is within hu-

THE RADIO WEDDING

No doubt sentiment rather than commer- cial interest prompts the National Assocla- ton of Organists to suggest the employment of the highest talents to broadcast wedding marches for the benefit of rural brides. Likely enough many of the organists knew by experi- ence how Wagner and Mendelssohn are tor tured in remote hamlets and have been sad witnesses to the rendering, not to say rend- ing, of "Oh Promise Me" For the sake of musical uplift they propose that great or ganists seated at great organs shall play the bridal measures twice Q day that weddings all and sundry throughout the land may be embellished adequately. While they seek to do a good turn their plan may cause indi- vidual unhappiness Their assumption of su- periority oter the local musicians may be justified but the latter will Be 10th to resign a monopoly which has given them at least great deal of pleasure. The "LOhengrin" specialist in many community is person of consideration, not lightly to be elbOwed aside by the radio. If the airy conduct of weddings is followed to conclusions the cere- mony itself may possibly be broadcast, The most successful marrying parsons may estab- tish themselves nt the microphone, A radio 'iretna Green is an inviting fancy The wire marriage is one of the few novelties wave lengths have not yet intrOduced-New York Hsrald-Tribuns.

Speed

c. R. Haines in The COrnhill Magazine
 London) Millenniums loitered on their way, And Times gray wings seem'd furled While Nature without haste or stay Peopled the nascent world. Till monsters waddled on the land Or widowed in the sea, And pterodactyls aerOplan'd
 On broad vans lazily, --.. The heavy -gaited tortoise slept
 A thousand winters through, And giant efts by inches crcpt
 Each hour mile or two. By tedious steps through cycles slow From ape advanced to man. The cavern dweller with his bow Our wondrous race began, The calm Greek in his leisured home Wrought works the gods might claim And wise unhurrying royal Rome Did deeds beyond all fame, But now our dream is speed and speed With truth the mocker sings That Whirl is lord and king indeed And ousts all god-like things, Faster and faster still we cry, No matter what the goali We hurry, hurry until we die,
 Nor once possess our soul.

SOUTH CAROLINA's PRIMARY

While the recent primary election in South Carolina is not conclusive, since a run-off between two of four original candidates for the United States senate must be held, the primary is highly sug- gestive, in that former Governor Cole Blease led the ticket by about fourteen thousand votes. Senator Dial, who has not been regarded as a strong man, was eliminated. Representative Byrnes, who ran second, has a constructive record in the house. During his fourteen years of service in that body he has been pro- gressive and has achieved no little for Southern Democrats, while faithfully serving his district.
 The large total vote shows that South Carolinians cannot be reproached for indifference, but the result of the pri- mary is not encouraging to the real friends of Democracy in and out of that state. One of Blease's favorite cam paign slogans is, "To hell with the con- gtitution." He has long been known as a rip-roaring demagogue who misrepre- sented the intelligence and constructive force ofthe Palmetto State with marked success when he occupied the gubernato- rial chair. Yet so far as one can read the South Carolina mind in the vote the rearing politician with loud voice and wild gestures appeals to some voters of that state more than any other, and that South Carolina still likes Blease pretty well.
 It will be interesting to note how the second primary results. It is thought by many careful observers of political con

eAfaaONcE lI OYER ]; E,RE

N1OW for the international polo matches IN England meets the United States at
 Meadow, Brook for the Careless Riding championship of both continents. A series of three games will be played. The winner will earn the right to meet William s. Hart.
 Polo Is much the same. as golf only the course is shorter and each player is allowed to look for lost balls on horseback.
 There is less drinking during the actual playing time, however, and polo player diff fers in that he is allowed no opportunity to lie about the score.
 The game is played on field of specially cultivated grass upon which no horse costing less than $2,000 has ever laid hoof. It is the smartest of sporting events. A man has to be smart to play it, discuss it or even to get a ticket to one of the games. It is very exclusive affair and this year the price of seats has been placed high enough to protect every horse from meeting any so- cial inferior.
 Very special equipment is required for polo. good player has to have skill, en- durance, iron nerve and about one million, five hundred thousand dollars in his own right, exclusive of villa with winding drives.
 A good polo pony has to have speed, in telligence, endurance, good brakes all around, and contempt TOT spavlns. FIexlDlllty, dl- rect control from the drivers seat and won derful wearing qualities are indispensable to any horse taking up polo as a life work.
 Each polo team is composed of four play CTS and about eleven bonesetters. The game is divided into eight periods called Chukkers. Chukker is the Persian word for assault and battery.
 A period lasts about eight minutes for the simple reason that that is as long as any one horse will last. Each player carries a mallet and the main idea of the game is to ride at top speed with one hand while push ing quinine pill across the great open spaces with the other.
 When the pill or ball is driven between two posts it is called goal. When it is driven between another players eyes 1t is called a minor accident. Polo players have different ratings, all depending upon the num- Der of injuries they can receive and keep on playing. The highest rating that can be given player is that of Ten Compound Fracture or Fourteen Bruise Man.
 A polo players idea of Heaven is open field where he can spend his life being chased by rough riders.
 Polo is the only sport known to man in which the umpire is given a square deal. In this game he has a fast horse and can make quick getaway in any emergency.
