merely increase the advantage of
the finished and plausible actor?
Will it provide the electorate a
sharper and more objective ap-
praiSal, or will it expose it further

trionics?
It vote for men, rather than
issues" Most of us have echoed
this home-spun sentiment, some
time or other. This attitude be-
comes more general as govern
ment becomes more complicated.
In pre- Civil War days there was
lusty brawling at every cross

pier then.
Every patriot was chock-a-block
with facts and figures. Vilification
of candidates was, of course, COM
mon enough, but there was a
whole lot Of rough-and.ready grap-
pling over issues. 1t was true

aroused. followed their intricacieS

Bryan. Even in Bryan'S day of
fairly fast railroading, it was pos

small percentage Of the voters to
see the candidate or hear his

Three Minute Journeys
nv TEMPLE MANNING

If any traveller enjoys shops and
shopping, then Constantinople or
Istanbul, as it is now called, is the
place. For in what used to be the
Turkish capital until Kemal Pasha
moved the government to Ankara,
there is a real bazaar 1t is the IA
nous covered bazaar with seven
thousand real shops under one
roof. Bargaining is dignified, shop
ping is unhurried.
Before even the wares are dis
cuSsed, Turkish coffee Is served
by a dignified merchant and after
the thick coffee and perhaps some
sweetmeats have been enjoyed.
only then will the real purpose OF
the shoppers visit be discussed.
The wares are brought out during
the coffee session and as is to be
expected in such a vast bazaar,
there is plenty of valuable mer-
chandise with real bargains, to-
gether with tawdry rubbish.
BEAUTIFUL MOSQUES
Beyond the grand bazaar, IStan-
bull has little to recommend it to
the traveller, unless mosques are
the attraction. For, certainly, the
one-time Turkish capital has it's
fair quota of mosques. And. really,
some of them, particularly St.
Sophia and the Blue mosque, are
worth a visit, even if it does en-
tail some inconvenience. The ex-
quisite Byzantine mosaicS have
been cleaned and repaired and
their colorings are really gorgeous.
1t is interesting to note that a
firm in our own Boston got the
contract for the repair work.

the same black magic at work in

A moment since, all was serene.
There was, to be sure, a vague un-

surface-some, dim, unformulated
feeling of hostility or fear. But
nothing definite. Nothing you had
ever admitted, even to yourself.
A CARELESS WORD
Then suddenly, with a word-a
careless, impulSive word you had
never planned to Say-everything
changed. The vague anger or
worry had become an actual real,

We're filled with ornery i'm

spite are in us constantly. But,
without impression, they do little

they pass and are forgotten.
But if, in some idle, uncon-

nothingness. Suddenly we find
ourselves committed to an atti-

portraits OF all the Biblical
prophets in colorful mosaics.
Really worth coming miles to
glimpse is the Blue Mosque, its
domes and slender minaretS spark
ling in the sun. It's cerulean blue
dome can be seen all over the city
and its blue-tiled interior is lovely.
From arched windows can be seen
the blue waters of the Bosporus.
The Blue Mosque is huge, with
four minaretS, one at each corner,
guarding the great blue dome and
the smaller blue and gold ones. ,
GOLDEN HORN
Beyond eaning up the
mosques, little has been done to
clean up the city, which was al
ways dirty. Most Europeans
make their home in the suburbs.
some of which are most pic
turesque. Bebek, at the far end
of the city, has become the
nucleus of community with
modern homes and modern
apartment houses already built
and more in process OF conStruc-
tion.
And, if one enjoys sunsets as
we'll as mosques, then Eyoup is
the place to watch the sun sink
in the west. Eyoup is a short
distance by boat and it is a
squalid settlement with a neg
lected Moslem cemetery. But
climb the hill and everything Is
forgotten in the contemplation
of natures glory. The Golden
Horn seems as though the water
had turned to molten gold and
the clouds are tinted with ex-
quiSite colors. The city seems to,
be a white and golden mass and
for a moment, at least, seems to
take on the glory that once made
Constantinople a byword Of lux
ury, beauty and wealth.

ment in self-government look lot
more durable and hopeful.
Slick, big-time politicians made
fun of gangling old Abe's country
clothes. He was the cartoonlst's s
delight. His advisers implored him
to dress up, but he didn't get new
suit or pay any attention to them.
After he was nominated, how
ever, h. did get a new suit, IN a
manner described by the Spring
field Gll.0 Journal Of that day, as
follows:
1--WE had the pleasure of in
specting the magnificent suit OF
clothes which has been In
course Of preparation for Mr..
Lincoln since his visit to Chicago.
"It is manufactured by mer-
chant tailOrS in Chicago and
consists of dress coat, pants,
vest and cravat. The coat is of
the best cloth that can be bought
in the country and made up with
taste and in style that cannot
be bought in any country.
"The pants are of the best and
finest black cashmere; the vest
of the finest grandiere silk and
lined with buff goods of the same
kind. The whole was presented
to MIR. Lincoln, TO Hon. Abra-
ham Lincoln from A. d. Tits
worth, Chicago, H., which is
beautifully wOrke1 on the inside
of the coat collar"
Old Abe might have put on his
new cashmere pants for a tele'
vision appearance and then again
he mightn't. 1t wouldn't have
made much difference. And may
be it won't, even in the age of tele'
vision, when another Abraham
Lincoln comes along.

I wondered what was holding
them up. The two of them were
walking down the corridor on the
House side of the Capitol. I at
tempted to get past and out via
the revolving door. They beat me
to it, making one of those sudden
decisions, that get your goat when
you have some place to go and the
fellow ahead is Just gliding:
They stopped again outside the
door and one fin of the door al
most cracked me as I struggled
past. Just as I got safely around
them, the one on the left said:
"T'm trying to mako up my
mind whether to go out to the
Zoo. I'm teaching a poll parrot
to cuss. Do you ever 60 out
there?"

It is probably natural modesty that has prompted
President Roosevelt to incline toward simpifed

President.

But times and conditions haze changed since Jef
ferSOns day and Ue hope that President Roosevelt
can be prevailed upon to grant the Wishes of the
people of today for rOUSing ceremony symbolic OF
the launching of phat is expected to be an era of
good feeling.
The urge for real Inauguration with proper parade
and attendant ceremonies is widespread.
It comes from all of the many millions who supported
the President in his campaign for reelection.
Those who banded into organizations to further his
campaign want their organizations to have place IN
the procession which will escort the President from the
Capitol the White House after he has taken the OATH
THEIR WISHES, WHICH HAVE BEEN CON
VEYED IN LARGE NUMBERS TO THE WHITE
HOUSE, ARE WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION, AND
THE PRESIDENT, WITHOUT FORGETTING HIS
BECOMING MODESTY, COULD WELL YIELD TO
THE PLEAS.
Washington expects to have thousands and thousands
of visitors over Inauguration Day.
These visitors will come here regardless of the type
Of ceremony.
President Roosevelt recognizes that fact and has
already taken steps to have the stands at the Capitol
improved for the benefit Of the visitors
Washingtons DESIRE therefore, for big Inauguration
is not selfish: visitors will come here, anyway
BUT WASHINGTON FACED WITH THE PROS
PECT OF PLAYING HOST TO SEVERAL HUNDRED
THOUSAND GUESTS, WOULD LIKE TO SEE THOSE
GUESTS ENTERTAINED IN THE BEST POSSIBLE
FASHION,
If they are deprived of the huge parade which for
mery has been a feature of most inauguratons, our
guests will naturally be disappointed.
Comparatively few Of the visitors will be able to find
places the Capitol Plaza when the President takes
the oath
parade and possible inaugural ball in the evening
would do much to solace those who from afar and
who are unable to witness the actual taking OF the OATH
In all fairness to his friends and supporters
throughout the country the President might 1OeA
give his approval to the biggest and best inaugural
ceremony that can be prepared in the short time re-
naming before January 20.
