Odd Facts About
Former Presidents

Cleveland is the only president
who "came back" after intervening
period and after being defeated. A
strange coincidence: three presidents
died July 4th--Jefferson. John
Adams and Monroe. Roosevelt was
youngest president--42; John Adams
lived to greatest age-90. No Dem
ocratie president has died in office.
All three presidents who were assis-
sinated were publicans-Lincoln
Garfield and Mckinley. The aver
age age Of presidents when they
took office was 541ltheir average at
death 70-the Biblical standard. w.
II. Harrison was oldest man chosen
president-6S-and his service was
shortest-a month. Out of 80 presi-
dents in 1876 years, 10 had ION" in
their names, and together they serv-
ed so years.

The Victory

" After the most hectic, most re-
inarkable political campaign In the
Nations history Herbert Hoover was
elected president of this country.
Herbert Hoover was elected because
he deserved to- win. AS night fol-
lows day. class and merit and worth
will triumph. Hoover's victory was
not the victory of the Republican
Party over the Democratic Party.
II was the victory OF the engineer
and statesman. who rose from power
" and obscurity as Quaker orphan
boy over the product OF the side
walks of New York" who failed
when the acid test was applied to
him. AL Smith revealed himself not
only as limited In his knowledge of
Government to New York State, but
as a sounding brass and a tinkling
cymbal upon all of the great indus
trial, national and international
problems that confront his country.
Hoover showed his knowledge and
his capacity to deal with the prob
lems of state and foreign nations
without camouflage and subterfuge.
He showed he is an international
statesman with definite and con-
structive program to meet the re-
quirements of his country.
Hoover, tho Quaker, and Curtis,
the Indian, won over Smith from the
Bowery and Robinson, the Arkansas
cracker because they presented the
cause OF the masses of Americans
not as towards and demagogues but
as Americans and statesmen. They
were not afraid to declare for the
equality of opportunity for all Am
orleans without regard to creed or
color. They were not afraid TO face
the Southern questions on the Civil
Service and the office holding tests
when applied to colored citizens.
Hoover was not afraid to speak
from the platform at Madison
Square Garden with colored men on
that platform. AL Smith was afraid
to even have colored Democrats
on the Democratic Campaign Com
mittee or in its headquarters.
Smith will be remembered simply
as the East Side boy, who failed in
the great test. Hoover history will
record that he worked and achieved
and survived as a great American
who after reconstruction from the
World War faced the. problems of

Lest We Forget

II Is an accepted maxim both In
law and society that every right
carries with 1t correlative duty.
To receive the right and fail to per-
form the duty is to admit the unfit
ness for the right Since the terri
BILE miasma of slavery and the years
following emancipation the black
man has been and still is clamoring
for his rights. The cry was first
hurled to the heavens that God
might hear and answer. Later The
plea, pious though just, has been
borne on the wings of sound and
printed word to the country. The
constant intoning has partially sue
ceeded 1t has focused the consci.
BUSINESS of beleaguered people on
things denied but rightfully theirs.
IL has also caused an unwilling
yielding on the part of those who
have wilfully denied these rights.
In most northern states the right
to live where we please has been
won in spite of intimidation. bomb
ing and bloodshed. The right of
equal accommodations in public
places has been fought through the
courts. Suffrage and the education
of our youth as individual citizens
and not as despised class is COM
ing after bitter and unceasing
struggle. Let us then remember
the duties that go with these rights.
The duty to make where we live
clean and wholesome. Let our ac-
tions in public places command re-
spect and not censure. Let our chill
dren receive their education with
clean minds and clean hands. Let
us cast our votes intelligently and
not like dumb driven cattle. While
the demand for our rights continues
let us not forget the duties already
imposed upon us. lest the cry go
forth that We are not fitted for the
rights We now enjoy.

MYSTERY AT
POLLS

Mystery-deep-dyed, of course!--
thrills, shrieks, murders, secret
passages, hidden treasure, IethaI
cabinets, with all the seeming
tension engendered thereby re-
lieved by copious dashes of broad
] humor, combine to make "The
Silent House, on view at Polls
this week, rate high in the opinion
of those who like this sort Of
entertainment. True, it creates no
particular strain on the mental
faculties Though It threatens the
credulities bit) of the. audience,
but after all, what more can one
ask than a pleasant evenings di-
yersion--and "The Silent House"
provides all Of this.
1t is the joint work of John @.
Brandon and George Pickett, and
presents a story all OF the scenes
of whcih are laid in a mystery
house near London, shortly after
the mysterious although allegedly
accidental death of the owner. A
nephew comes to take possession
of the estate, but finds that the
eccentric uncle has left him a
liability instead of a fortune un-
less he can find the hiding place
of certain bonds, the knowledge
Of which seems to be shared by
number of mysterious individ-
uals, including deVilishly cum
ming Chinese doctor. At the rise
of the first curtain one OF these
intruders is stabbed-well so the
story goes to its thrilling con-
fusion.
Such is the nature of this work
that it is nearly actor-proof. No
well-known names are listed in
bly,. The heir is likeably por-
trayed by Vernon Kelso, and the
mystery girl, the single woman
in the cast. by Kathleen Robin
son. Most of the heavy work falls
to the portion of John Nicholson
in the character of the Chinese
doctor, while Allen AtwelI, as the
friendly Oriental servant, portrays
the type of hero who in the old
10000 days always came to the
rescue when affairs seemed dark
est. Arthur Treacher enacts the
part of a British "bounder,"
closely approaching the burlesque
at times, but nevertheless thor
oughly appreciated by the audi
ence, and Stanley Harrison did
