But one yarn for which I can vouch
Is that Of another survivor Of the
good old days."
For generations his family had oc-
cupied fine home in the Murray Hill
section. This, like many another ele-
CANT residence, had become a high
toned "whisper-low."
His sister had been married in this
place. And when, recently, the ami
versary of her wedding was near,
bright idea dawned.
We'll have a surprise for them"
he whispered to friends. "We'll ar
range big party at the old home and
on the day of the anniversary we'll
drive them there"
Arrangements were secretly made.
And, sure enough, on the day of cele-
bration the party drove up to the
place that had once been home and
staged a very gay private party in
what had once been the nuptial room.

CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTO
Hooyer,S Hat in the Rino

hoover 3 I1dC III Cne Ming
Politicians are setting the political
props for the 1892 campaign. As
usual the national Republican con-
vention will be held in June, and
Chicago which in years past has cr-
tertained several pow-wows, will be
the setting for the stirring political
drama.
With the preliminaries in shape,
the next natural move was to throw
President Hoover's hat into the ring.
There have been mutterings from the
progressives that Hoover should step
aside for another leader, but prece-
dent is too firmly established to even
entertain such an idea. Senator Fes;
Of Ohio and Patrick Hurley Of Okla
homa, the secretary of war, have
sounded the keynotes and the federal
machine will begin to garner dele
gates.
The scene will now shift to the
South, where the federal organiza-
ton depends upon solid blocks OF
delegates to put Mr.. Hoover over as
smoothly as was done in the case Of
President Taft, against whom the up
rising was no more intense than 1t
is today against President Hoover.
Only an economic miracle can save
President Hoover from defeat. Po-
litical precedent in the past has eS-
tablished the general conviction thai
party which loses control Of the
house Of representatives eventually
fails to elect president.
Something may happen between
now and next November to reverse
political trends. The Democrats MAJ
make some blunders which will give
their bandwagon a setback. but al
present writing it IS rolling merrily
along.
There IS nothing stirring or con-
vincing about the speeches of reSs
or Hurley. They fall upon tired ecrs
and fail to stir the listless spirits o:
the rank and file of the party. in
the hearts Of most voters Of both
dominant parties is yearning for a
new deal. There Is a feeling that the
federal job has been bungled. Their
minds are open and they await with
interest the arrival Of q new leader
and q new message. The political
adages Of the dead past fail to In
spire.
The oratory OF henchmen is like
Offering the voters a stone when they
cry for something more substantial.
With millions unemployed there is
little enthusiasm over the plight OF
Europe or interference in foreign af-
fairs which has cost the taxpayers oi
this nation billions and, II the inter-
nationalists are to triumph, will cost
them billions more. The voters O1
this nation are thinking about thei,
own plight. They are more interest.
ed in where the next meal Is coming
from than in cancelling billions a
loans owed US by foreign nations.
George Washington's advice still
holds good in great crises:
Against the insidious wiles of
foreign influence, conjure you
to believe me, fellow citizens, the
jealousy Of a. free people ought
to be constantly awake, since
history and experience prove that
foreign influence Is one of the
most baneful foes Of Republican
government"
