Washington, April Ex-Governor
Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania
with his "bone dry" ideas for pro
hibitiOn, is causing regular Republi-
cans no little worry.
For it is reported that the gov
ernor plans to run for the Senate in
1926 on strict prohibition plat
form and that if he wins he intends
to make bid for the Republican
nomination in 1923.
And he is not going to make his
race alone. For the reports that
place the governor in the senatorial
gossip also say that Mrs. Pinchot
will travel along on the same plat
form in quest of a seat in Congress.
| Pinchot is regarded frankly in
Washington official circles as first
class political pest because of his
bone dry" ideas on prohibition.
Prohibition us a question the vast
majority Of public men prefer to
have left strictly alone.
Politicians Uncertain
| The great mass of politicians are
decidedly uncertain how their home
| folk would line up if the proposition
was put to "a test at the polls. Con-
| sequently they shrink from voting
! on it, they refuse to talk abou it and
| they shiver when they hear any
| body else discussing it, lest they be
dragged in.
Yet it's subject Pinchot is dig
ging into continually. If he treated
it as a problem of his own, in his
capacity as governor of the Key
Stone State, it wouldn't be so bad,
| but he persistently presents it as a
national issue.
He nagged the late President Har-
ding with it to the limit of his en-
durance and now it appears Presi-
dent Coolidge's turn has come.
An irritating feature of it is that
administration advisors were just
thinking the president had succeeded
in getting the prohibition ,"buck"
off his hands by clsverly announc-
ing that the federal government can't
possibly suppress bootlegging-that
its job ends with the prevention Of
smuggling and illicit liquor with
drawals from government ware
houses-that state, county and city
authorities must look after those who
actually sell the stuff to its "ulti-
mate consumers"
"Wise Ones" Pleased
The wise ones" interpreted this
as amounting to a local option dec
laration, since it was obvious that
local officials would provide >their
own committees with just the amount
reinforcement they wanted-no less
and no more.
Now Pinchot's plans to come be-
fore his state and country with a
"bone dry" platform Tears things
wide open in more ways than one.
In the first place, Pinchot is far
from regular" Republican. He
wants to take his toga away from

who is. Congressman l.. T. McFad-

den, another regular" would be
weeded out of the House of Repre-
sentatives if Mrs. Pinchot should
win, too.
At first thought, it may seem as
if the Pinchots couldn't win on
dry platform in wet Pennsylvania.
Still, the husband managed to get
himself elected governor.
Good Campaigners
He's hard fighter, and he and
his wife, who is a good campaigner,
would make spectacular fight.
Moreover, Senator Pepper has an
other rival in Congressman w. s..
Ware, and the contests triangular

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
MORE TROUBLE IN
DADDY GANDER TOWN

When Snitcher Snatch, the goblin,
rolled out Of the Muffin Mans back
door, some of the magic snuff spilled
out of the gold snuff box and blew
all over Daddy Gander Town.
Then the fun began.
The Balloon Man was just getting
his balloons blown up for the circus
when a grain of snuff blew up his
nose.
"Achoo!" he went. "Achoo! Achoo!
Achoo!" 4
And he caused such a breeze with
all his sneezing that his bunch of
balloons broke away from the string
that tied them down and carried him
with them up into the air.
He went up and up and up, calling
loudly for Help, but when you hear
of the troubles. that other people
were having, you won't be surprised
that moody would come to the poor
fellows aid.
/ think he struck a mountain peak
and caught on a rock and hung there
until the Man in the Moon telegraph
ed to the government to send flying
machine to rescue him.
If you ask him the next time you
see him, he can tell you all about it,
At about the same. time the Old
Apple Woman had piled her fruit
stand with shiny red apples and yell
low oranges and lemons and cocoa
nuts, also popcorn, peanuts, and a
lot Of other things besides.
She had just polished the last red
apple and set it. on top of the pile,
when grain of the magic snuff got
up her nose.
"Achoo!" she sneezed, and really it
was as loud as if one of the cannon
in front of the courthouse had gone
off.
Such sudden gust of, wind was
too much. for the apples, and the
oranges, and the lemons.
Away they rolled, pell-mell down
the hill, bumpty, tumble, like SO
many bowling. balls.
Thomas Stout, the aide rman. was
just coming out of his office, but no
sooner had he stepped into the street
than away he went. The apples up-
set him like ten-pin. ~,

rolled and Thomas Stont rolled, and
they kept on rolling until they struck

In Mrs. Jones town was a man
named Algernon.
Mrs. Jones knew him when he
was child. All the boys in school
picked on him. He was made the
butt of many a prank, all because
his mother named him Algernon.
Now Algy was the leading light
of the little city. He owned quite a
bit Of property, and many of the
boys who kidded him in school, were
working for him.
How did he manage to do it with
such a name? -
Here's how Mrs. Jones explained
it.
Algernon was sensitive about his
name When the boys picked on

character may count in Pinchot's
favor.
AS for the 1928 Republican presi-
Dental nomination, it isn't much OF
secret that President Coolidge
wants that once more for himself.
Hence he looks with little enthus-
iasm on Gov. Pinchot's scheme to
boost himself into Senate promi-
nence where the lightning will have
a better chance to strike him.
Besides, win or lose, the governor
will create great hullabaloo over
dry law enforcement, he may sue
coed in making recognized big
party issue Of it and then nobody
can tell what will happen.

Town had fish for his dinner that
day. As Puss-in- Boots declared after
ward, it is an i'll wind that blows no
body good-even if the wind is a
sneeze.
Thomas Stout rolled almost to Doc
tor Fosters front door, SO the good
doctor took him in and bandaged
him up and gave him stuff to put on
his bruises, and charged him a dol
lar.
So you see, the sneeze did Doctor
Foster a good turn, too.
But the poor Apple Woman cried
out, Lack daisy me! I've sneezed
all my fortune away. What's to be
done n0w?"
Mister Whizz and the Twins were
near enough to hear.
"This is to be done," said the fairy
man. "Pll pay you for all the apples
you have lost if you keep your two
eyes >open and tell me if you see

crooked legs.
The Old Apple Woman took the
money and thanked him kindly.

HINDENBURG FOR PRESIDENT

There is dramatic development in the German national
campaign Field Marshal Hndenburg after long hest

calls himself Republican, and is what might call
moderate Socialist and who represents powerful group
liberal bocs. Other candidates hardly Apparently
it is to be Hindenburg against Marx &.
This boodandiron militarst is backed by Tirptz and
Ldendo and is believed to be backed by the former
Kaiser himself Thus the campaign takes the appear
ace of national between mitarism and peace
between Kaserism and republicanism.
If Hndenburg win, with his record Of reaction and
with such support probably all such efforts as the Dawes
settlement in vain If he wn Americans have
deceived in the German revolution and throwing away
money they lend Germany and efforts they make to

But it unlikely that Hindenburg can win. The
former Kaiser is thought to have small influence except upon

would be the first, law that did not

The real issue is not whether there
shall be amendments, but what these
amendments shall be. If the ants
will specify what amendments they
propose, and if the other side, thinks
these amendments undesirable in

question can be debated.
Especially, if the proposal is to

If this is the amendment wanted,
