James Hamilton Lewis, always pic
tureque, bnt sometimes inaccurate,
says the Republican nomination fight
IN 1928 will be between Secretary
Hoover and Vice-President Dawes.
H says the two term tradition es-
tablished by Washington will not
break down"
Mr. Lewis is just 100 per cent
wrung in two ways. There isn't any

teach them well, thoroughly and
PERMANENTLY, more than the
child can learn under proper methods
in dozen school days of eight hours
spent indoors at a time when the

IN politics we used to fight about
slavery, then about tariff and the
