The Chickens Are Flocking
Home to Roost.
Well, November is just around the
corner and it is doubtful if there
has been for many years a political
campaign that has aroused the deep
thought and sincerity of conviction as
to what would be best for the country
as a whole as the present one. Men
and women are changing their shirts
at least the men are-over night and
will be found the next day with one
Of an entirely different color. Old
line party voters have stopped, looked
and listened, made up their minds and
with seemingly true conviction that
their choice must be as conscience
dictates. Thomas jefferson and Abra-
ham Lincoln have not been as popular
In many years and both the Repub-
1icans and Democrats are claiming
them equally as exponents of their
particular campaign issues as well as
the essence of their political creeds
Mr.. James P. Warburg, the New
York banker who was one of the
merriest, most sympathetic guests at
Mr.. Jouett Shouse's billion-dollar

old friend, Gov. Alfred Emmanuel

"While the Light
Holds Out to Burn"
Then there is Mr.. Dean Acheson,
Tor brief time Undersecretary of
Treasury, announcing his intention
to line up with Miss Democracy. On
both sides the trek to the mourner's
bench grows Livelier as next Tuesday
approaches and one sees the shades of
Mr.. John Davis, former candidate for
the presidency on the Democratic
ticket; Senator Reed of Missouri, the
old stalwart, Col. Breckenridge and
others seeking green pastures new,
while Senator Glass and Senator
Byrd Of Virginia, are just holding
on by the skin of their teeth.
Down South when the little white
children used to go to the Sunday
afternoon services at the colored
meeting house with the nurses and
sit along on the rear benches, there
was popular song that the congre-
CATION always sang near the close
Of the meeting. There was a rhythm
and swing about the tune that raised
enthusiasm and shouting to the high
est pitch; the words were: while
the light holds out to burn the dying
sinner may return" As the last notes
died away in tremulous wall, woe
to the sinner who did not come for
ward!
Mr.. Acheson Is Son
Of the Fighting Parson.
BY the way, Mr.. Acheson is a son
Of the late Bishop Edward Campion

first a priest of the Church of Eng
land in Canada, later coming to the
States where he became assistant rec

years suffragan bishop of Connecti-

lion In Northwest Canada at Cut
Knife Greek, Bishop Acheson so dis
tinguished himself that he was
awarded medal for bravery and re-
ceived honorable mention. During
the World War he was with the
American Army In France. The boys
had the greatest respect and admira-
ton for him and when they said, He
can take 1t" there was no better COM
pliment for his qualifications as q
soldier and friend.
