Nick" Longworth of Ohio, unfa-
miliarly known as Nicholas. the new
Speaker-designate of the National
House Of Representatives, was hailed
either at late hour last night or
early this morning as future Presi-
dent of the United States. Mr.. Cool
idge. of course. wasn't present at the
height Of the hailing. The occasion
for this ceremonial or unceremonial
launching of the Longworth boom
for some definite date in the future.
when the present reign at the White
House shall have ended. was the an
nual Fall dinner Of the Alfalfa Club,
that unique and more or less mysteri-
GUS institution of Washington life. No
one appears to know just when, how or
why the Alfalfa Club came into being,
and archaeological studies of the origin
of the species have developed only
the fact that an alfalfa root will go
farther for q drink than any other
known entity of the animal or vege-
table kingdom. Some doubt is cast
upon this theory, however, by the
discovery that the drink craved by the
alfalfa root is only water.
Despite the levity that was made
with and at the new Speaker, the din
ner given by his fellow Alfalfans to
celebrate his 56th birthday anniver-
sary had many significant phases. 1t
developed that during the past Sum-
mer, Mr.. Longworth, visiting Europe,
made an exhaustive study of legisla-
tive methods in the German Reichs-
tag. the French Chamber OF Depu-
ties and the British House of Com

by Representative John Garner of
Texas, Democratic leader in the
House. Nick wasn't sure whether his
Democratic opponent was viewing
him with alarm as a prospective
G. o. p. candidate. or pointing to him
with pride. Mr.. Garner paid quite a
remarkable tribute to the new Speak
er and from all he said one might in
fer that during the sessions of the
House presided over by the gentle
man from Cincinnati the political
lions and lambs will lie down together
and the legislative proceedings will
lapse into one long, lingering love
feast.
Celebrities of the theatrical world
were drawn upon to help the Alfal
fans do honor to "Nick." Gene Buck
chaperoned an imposing party of
troubadours from New York, headed
by Wilton Lackaye, William Court
len and Ager and Kalmer and Ruby.
Tito Schipa, tenor of the Chicago
Opera Co, also was a star of the eve
ming. The serious numbers were in

bers like Yes Sir. That's Nick's Baby

Longworth said he hoped the Demo

strong-but not too strong. He felt

The first great difference, from our
western point of view, is the sense OF
acting under the constraint OF God.
In consequence of that feeling we
fight not merely for a settlement but
for a settlement involving complete
victory OF what we call principle.
Our concern for principle grows out
of our notions about God. We are a
people bred to the idea of revelation.
A fundamental concept OF our culture
is that of decisions made in the skies
and handed down for man to carry
into effect. We are accustomed to be
ing called upon to take the part OF
God. There are, and have been, so
phistication, hyprocisy and atheism
among us, but they are minor factors
in our mass movements. The idea OF
helping God did not end with the
crusades, the inquisition or the world
missions movement. 1t is very much
alive in American civic affairs today.

1t is natural that what is conviction

victory. This fact is always accepted

ways by the vanquished. Our Ameri-

Chinese War for Compromise

ANY concession would have been a
breach of faith, betrayal of principle
i'm short, a sin against God.
Our latest war exhibited the same
fundamental concept of our culture.
That is what makes western war re-
lentless-not mere plays OF politics or
shaking down of personal ambitions,
but a fight to the death between two
sides each of which knows that it is
vndicating some aspect of the eternal
truth more important than the imme-
date application, each of which knows
that it must win to save the world,
each OF which knows that it is an
agent OF right and its opponent an
agent of wrong. And woe be to him
who fights without this assurance! He
is defeated before the begins.
How vastly opposite the conceptions
of the Chinese! He knows no revela-
ton. His guiding scriptures are de-
auctions and precedents from history
and biography, not "thus-sa1th- the
Lords" He is an untrammeled ra-
