WASHINGTON 81
LETTER SKI
BY RODNEY BUTCHER, NEA Service Writer.

WASHINGTON first tangible
evidence that Senator j. Boomboom
NTcWhorter is a candidate for the
presidential nomination is seen in the
mysterious appearance here Of a
pamphlet purporting to be an account
of the senator's life and times.
81. Boomboom McWhorter, States
man and Patriot" is the title on the
cover and the contents comprise an
irresistible TefUtation of the Sneers
of certain jealous persons who pro-
fess to believe that McWhorter really
isn't such a much.
i A foreWord carefully explains that
the pamphlet has no political pur-
pose, but you can't banlboozle Of
fetal Washington, which has seen
similar pamphlets before.
At any rate, it's the first time
full Justice has been done, for the
senator has been wearing an injured
look ever since he was advised that
any senator who supplied more than
three pages for the biographical sec
ton of the congressional directory
would have to pay for the extra
printing.
No attempt is made to conceal
the senator's humble origins. The
elder McWhorter was only, a horse
shoe pitcher, but he was a good
one.
Little AGcWhorter used to carry
the horseshoes for his father and
then run out and retrieve them after
they were pitched One day a horse
shoe hit little McWhorter in the
noodle Neighbors thought that the
injury had affected little McWhort-
er's brain but, as the senator e1-
plains it, it was very beneficial, and
after that he had many bright ideas
which he had never had before.
Little McWhorter was taught the
peril Of strong drink at an early
age. Every night little McWhorter
had to trot down to the brewery
and bring home a bucket of beer
for his pop, until his pop began to
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-10-19

observe that the older and fatter
little AIcWhorter grew, the farther
the foam was from the rim of the
bucket.
So one day Pop McWhorter sneaked
out and followed his son back from
the brewery and, as a result of what
he saw, the lad took a terrible TAN
ming, and the bucket always came
home full after that.
When the boy grew old enough
to carry a little money he sometimes
brought home bottle, but his
pop always confiscated that and
finally the boy gave up in sheer
disgust and became, according to the
baographer, a life long prohibitionist
Some of Senator McWtorter's enc
mics will sniff at this last state
ment, but let them sniff-as long
as they don't sniff too near the
senator!
The senator's original name was
not John or Jeroboam as you might
think. 1t was Jcses. Old Man Nc
Whorter had insisted that the BABY
be. named Moses because he prop
ably would be wise like his father

the name Joseph in nonor of her
Uncle Mike. So when Mr. McWhort-
er became stubborn about it, the
mother Of his child heaved an anvil
at him which knocked off his hat
fer the first time in many months
and Old Man McWhorter walked
about in daze, muttering Moses
Joseph, Moseph, Joses-" and SO or
until Mrs McWhorter took pity on
her spouse and agreed to compromise
with Joses. And Joses it was until
young McWhorter, entering politics
contracted it to 10 for the sake
Of dignity
At school, Joses was such a prod
icy that the teachers couldn't teach
him hardly anything. They did sue
ceeG, however, in teaching him that
while a teacher might stand for q
tack IN her chair now and then
the use Of spikes was quite gaucne.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES ). MONTAGUE
TOO LATE

AS a youth I was told that man
was too old
At fifty to carve career,
And his chance Of success grew
increasingly less
After passing his fortieth year;
If, at forty, Il found I was still
unrenowned s.,. ss@5 'sAgr @
It was proof was wholly unfit
For carving my name on the tablets
of fame
And I might as well fold up and
quit.
When I reached forty-two, quite con-
vinced I was through,
1 bitterly said to myself:
'SThe time has gone past when l
might have an1aSSed
Celebrity, power or pelf.
I shall not rack my brain in the
effort to gain
The rewards that are not to be had
1 shall live at my ease and do
Just as I please
An existence which isn't SO bad.
So I wasted my days in number
of ways,
I was deaf to the voice Of ambition
No more did I seek to arrive at the
peak
OF honor and wealth and position
I learned to recoil from all manner
of toll
Discarding all worry and fret,
"Why struggle" said I, "as the long
years roll by
For something never can get?'
And now that I learn that some
people can earn
Big money at sixty and more,
And can start their careers wher
they're laden with years
My fatuous course I deplore.
I might, who can say?-have collect
ed boy
Or a laurel to wear on my brow
Had 1 only kept on, but my chances
are gone
I'm too fond of malingering now

Dangerous Appetite
Physicians will testify to the fact
that thousands of their patients, by

eaten themselves into an untimely

that concerned the old colored woman

This colored NANNY viewed with
nisgiVings the great amount of
sugar cane being eaten by her six
year old grandson. Eventually she
warned the boy: "Chile, amt done
