To change life's bitter gall to sweet,
And change the sweet to gall again;
To take the thorns from out our feet.

Old stings that made them bleed and

Only to sharpen them the more,
And press them back to the hearts core.

To melt, with kindly glowing heat,

And make it drift, and drift, and drift,
In flakes 90 icy cold and swift,
Until the heart that lies below

~OSSIP concerning the Democrat
Vic Presidential situation was en-
lixened by the progress of Governor
Richie Of Maryland toward Chicago,
where he was to spend several days
comforting with party leaders and
making speeches. He already had Wis
tied New York in furtherance Of his
ambition to obtain the nomination. 1t
Is believed in the East that Richie
Is looked on with high favor by AL
Smith and Chairman Raskob, and the
Democratic chiefs Of Chicago and II
linOis are known to like him and his
policies. Until comparatively recent
ly the Marylander was known to the
country at large chiefly as an oppo-
nent Of prohibition, but he has ex-
panded his utterances to include many
other matters of national and interna-
tional import and has taken on the
semblance, at least, of real states

ton of 1882.
Mr.. Curtis is noted for his political
acumen, and warm supporters of the
administration hailed his decision as
q profession of his faith in President
Hoover's chances for reelection. Sen
ator George Fl. Moses of New Hamp-
shire, for instance, said:
"The Vice Presidents announce

less has reached this conclusion after
a careful study of political conditions
throughout the country. His decision
is proof that there is little reason
for Republican apprehension in 1882
and look for the old ticket to come
through once more with handsome
margin"
Democrats and pessimistic Repub-
icans, however, held that Mr.. Curtis
probably had decided he would have
small chance of winning the Kansas
senatorship and had made choice
between two rather shaky prospects.
Among the Republicans there were
some who would have preferred to
have Secretary of War Hurley or Gov
ernor Theodore Roosevelt in second
place on the ticket, partly because
Mr.. Curtis is somewhat advanced in
years and partly because he is dry.
However, all concede that If he wants
