Blunt American Praised

Americans are blunt, outspoken and
brusque, almost boisterous in their
manners, but bubbling with an un-
eQualed heartiness and warmth In
their contacts with strangers and
each other, and thus hold the key to
better relations between men and ma
tions, is the opinion of Yasuki Hase-
waga, who was sent to this country a
year ago by the Tokyo English Teach
ers' association of Japan. Hasewaga's
trip was to promote international
friendship, and he visited in 60 Amer.
lean homes and addressed 200 public
meetings in the United States. "Amer-
leans seem frivolous and entirely
lacking in dignity to many persons,
and especially to the japanese" he
said on his return to Tokyo, "but
they are not. They are simply nat
ural, frank and friendly"

But that Miss Cornelia's deductions

I'm question when Lizzie returned with
the elderberry wine. Apparently Miss
Cornelia was to be like the man who
repaired the clock: she still had GER
tain things left over.
For Lizzie announced that the Un-
known was ranging the second floor
hall. From the time they had escaped
from the living room this man had not
been seen or thought of, but that he
was part of the mystery there could
be no doubt. 1t flashed over Miss Cor
nelia that, although he could not pos
sibly have locked them In, In the dark
ness that followed he could easily have
fastened the bat to the door. For the
first time 1t occurred to her that the
arch-criminal might not be working
alone, and that the entrance of the
Unknown might have been a carefully
devised ruse to draw them all together
and hold them there.

statement that the Unknown was

Horns in Odd Place
Handicap to Rooster

Now the rooster has joined the list
Of horned animals. At least one rOOst-
er has, for on an Arkansas alligator
farm in Hot Springs is large white
rooster with two horns sticking out
from his head, one on each side. The
horns, which are of bone and two or
three inches long, give the rooster
most uncanny appearance.
This freak bird, unlike his brothers,
has practically no spurs to use in his
fights. Nature, after giving him these
horns, apparently decided that spurs
were useless, and they seem to be. for
it is said that one look at his horns is
enough to set the other ROSTERS going
in the opposite direction.
With the pullets 1t is different
matter. They evidently prefer spurs.
So the horned rooster has his trou-
bles. The rOosters won't fight him, and
the pullets ignore him. All he can do
is to crow his sad tale of being differ
ent to the world at large.-Kansas

A look Of swift alarm swept over the

She stole a glance at the yelled

Her forefnger jabbed at the hidden
chamber wherein the masked intruder
had terrified Dale with threats of in
slant death.
"He got it out Of the safe-and
that's as far as he did get with It,"
she persisted inexorably. There's a

Miss Cornelia crossed behind the

something from the floor.

"Another thing the detective over

She stepped back to the center OF
the room, looking knowingly from the
candle to the hidden room and back
again.
"Oh, my God-another oner" shrieked
Lizzie, as the dark shape of man ap
peared suddenly outside the window,
as IL materialized from the air.
Miss Cornelia snatched up her re-
volver from the top of the hamper.
"Don't shoot-it's Jack!" came a
warning cry from Dale. as the latter
recognized the figure of her lover.
Miss Cornelia laid her revolver down
on the hamper again. The vacant

has not given it's support to a Democratic candidate since Grover Cleveland. Whether Mr. Smith can cary the state for President is a mooted question. Well in- formed political writers who un- derstand conditions in the Empire State, are convinced that he can not.
 Tt is worth recalling that run ming for governor in the prcsiden- tial year of 1920 he ran nearly a million votes behind Harding and was defeated by an unappealing candidate. Voting for him for President is quite a different prop osition than voting for him for governor. Since 1896, while the South remained solid, the border states. Maryland. Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, have frequently aligned themselves in the Republican column.
 Before the Houston convention, it seemed altogether likely that Herbert Hoover would split the South, or that part of it cOmpris- ing Dixie, but the wise nomina- tion of Senator Robinson of Ar kansas again sures the solidity of the South, in spite of divergent views and antagonisms over John Barleycorn.

 Back to Precedent
 Should Governor Smith prove victorious, he will rot be tho first executive coming cut of Albany to Washington. Grover Cleveland
 rose from the governorship to the presidency in 1884, without possessing the magnetism or per- sonal appeal of Mr. Smith. He was not a Tammanyite, however, hail. ing from Buffalo, and identified with the state Democracy. His administration. like MT. Smiths, had been most successful, center ing the nations attention upon him; and in the campaign he car ried states, notably Indiana, that he had never visited.
 Tn fact. he was quite as pro- vincial a candidate, local to the Empire state, as is Alfred Eman- uel Smith. Cleveland's majority over Blaine, was small, hinging upon the vote of Kings County, Brooklyn. Blaine went to defeat at the hands of Cleveland because an affronting speech made by a

preacher named Burchard at a meeting attended by Blaine, and in which Burchard alienated the Irish Catholic vote by the thous- ands by a tactless alusion to Rum, Romanism and Rebellion. Thus, religious intolerance touched that campaign, as 1t is sure to touch this fourty-fonr veGrs later.
 Ku klux ;>lan Influence
 "The extent to which the Ku Klux klan will be revived and take hand in this contest is problematieal; but it's advances in the past have certainly tended to offend three important political factors-the Catholic vote, the Jewish vote. and the negroes and these three may be reasonably expectec to look with favor upon MT. Smiths candidacy.
 There are elements in the forthcoming campaign not unlike those entering into the battles of 1884. Then the cry was, Open the books Now the scandals at Washington under the pre- ceding Republican administration will be capitalized to the fullest degree.
