NEW POLITICAL ANGLtS
New angles art being added to the
political sliucLure. so rapidly inai me
only certainty about politics in me
next six or eight mouths is the unc*..
taiuty of it all. It is evident there will
be a light to the finish b tween Joan
sou, Looiiuge aud i or.1. ivlcuvioo is ■
apparently the man o the hour tor
the d. i... . iais.
senator Johnson t burner..ion of
LiUic-i; ill me political wains h
nays ago was nome that president
Cooliuge will not oe handed the uom
ination oi me repuoileaus ou a ailvei
piatter, out Uoolidge may be conceded
the nominee oi ihe republican party.!
But his program, a>> ne preseiilou ll
to congress yesterday, had two weak
points: opposition to the sotdier do
nus and endorsement Oi a world
court. McAdoo is for the bonus and
in favor oi a court, while Johnson is
for the bonus, but against the world
court. Johnson realizes that Coolidge,
made a great mistake in turning down
the proposed bonus legislation, and is
feady to take advantage oi it.
There is no doubt that Johnson will
make a vigoious tight, for he is an ex
cellent pcisaiiai campaigner ana vote-!
getter, and iie will have Dehind him a
powerlul organization, at the head of
which will be Aloert i. Gastcer, promt-,
nent advertising man and tormer
chairman oi the shipping board. John
son, however, is said to have alienated |
tne ultra-radical group by Ins atuiuue
toward legislation during the past lew
years; particularly his laiiure to vuie:
against the Esch-Cummins bill; his
failure to appear when ihe Newberry [
vote was inKen, and his vote lot a
high tariff. In other words, lie has
not consistently clung to the band
wagon of the ultra-radicals, who at
times have been in alliance with him.
That Gifford Pinchot will enter the
lists in the hope of lining up the pro
gressive element which lollowed the
late Theodore Roosevelt in 1912, and
which is said to have broken away
from Johnson, is conceded among as
tute politicians. Governor Pinchot s
recent barrage against the administra
tion on the prohibition question, while
proving a boomerang, indicates his
trend of thought.
In the democratic party, McAdoo is!
off in a cloud oi dust, having eliminat
ed Ford in the Dakota convention ioi
presidential preference. He is count
ed a complete dry, and in 1 exas and
other parts oi the souih he is Girling
with the Ku Klux Klan. Meanwhile
Murphy is grooming Ai Smith in New
York, who has declared himself in la
vor of a wet plank, and in favor oi
any plank which will gain him votes,
Oscar Underwood is busy in the
South, and is declaring noisily that
be is the Moses to lead the democratic!
party through its red sea of troubles!
and broken promises, to a promised
land. Wilson claims the League of
Nations is the big issue, but Under
wood thinks not—for political pur
poses’and probably Mr. McAdoo will i
find this plank very troublesome be
fore he gets through his campaigning.
That the democrats are handling
Henry Ford with tongs is shown in:
developments in South Dakota this,
week. If it was left to the dear pee-i
pul, Henry would be nominated hands1
iown. and probably elected, but the
peopi viil, as always, vote for the,
nan placed on the ticket for them by
h ' ;g bosses, and not for their po-:
iii. cl choice. It is suspected that if I
ford runs he will appear on a third |
ia Gcket, perhaps allied with the
l abor party. In fact, it is
onceded that the political bosses of
>oth dominant parties will have noth
ng to do with the lank Michigander,
nowing that he is no politician and
annot be handled.
Henceforth the fight will be waged
rlth abandon, but it is shrouded in
he fog of uncertainty. At the pres
nt time Coolidge and McAdoo are
ie leading candidates of the two ma-1
)r parties. And Coolidge has a far
etter chance of winning than Me-:
doo, unless the members of the
merman L< :on rally to his support

;'o add the “ed>’ to the end of a
word or not to add it is the questioni
that is puzzling the editors of thei
country, one paper recently saying a1
football was “bursted.” This error,!
however, is much less common than
that of using “broadcasted” for the
past tense of broadcast. Few persons
would say a stone was “casted” into
he water. Yet most of them say a
radio program was “broadcasted.”
In a recent divorce suit in New
York, the plaintiff, suing for alimony
swrore she could not live on less than
$300,000 a year, or $25,000 per month.
To those of us who are living on $25
to $60 a month, such a statement ap
pears absurd; but when we think it
over many of us ai * not really liv
ing, but simply walking around be
cause we have no money to pay an
undertaker.
The State of Washington has pass
ed an anti-speed law designed to stop
wild autoists charging through the
state in an endeavor to set a border
to border record to advertise some
car. While we never could see where
an autoist had the right to burn uj
;he road because he was out for a
speed record, we attributed it to the
same cause that allowed an official to
arrest one for having booze in one’s
possession, while he maintained his I
private cache.

FEET OF MODERN GIRL IS
INCREASING RAPIDLY IN SIZE
COLUMBUS, O., Dec. 7—The feet
of the modern college girl are stead
ily increasing in size, according to
Miss Lydia Clark, head of the wom
en's department of physical education

claims that modern clothes and tiie in
terest shown by girls in athletics and
out-of-door sports are causes for the
increase in size. Not only are their
feet increasing in size but statistics
show the modern woman is growing
larger all over. It is shown that the
average weight of the college woman
has increased from 123.8 pounds to
125.8 and that the waist line has in
creased 1.3 inches.
