WETS HAVE HOPES
Tlie hope of the Wets In the presi
dential campaign next year is Gov
ernor A1 Smith of New Vovk. The
hope of the Drys of ihe Bourbon
camp is McAdoo, The man who scram
bled the railways and wasted several
billions of tlit people's money making
himself solid with the unionists of the
country.
Tom Taggart, Democratic boss and
a liberal of liberals, told Governor A1
Smith at Taggart's French Lick resort
that there are not enough “wet”
votes in the country to make any man
president. But A1 had come from a
city where the appetite for strong
drink is such that it consumes about
75,000 cases of beer and liquors daily
and he did not believe the Indiana
politician was in touch with public
sentiment. He talked the matter over
with former Chairman Norman Mack,
who told him Taggart was wrong and
that if he ran he could be nominated
and elected, Harding, Ford or McAdoo
to the contrary.
McAdoo says little publicly, but his
friends think he is more than willing
to be a candidate and they hope he
will be able if nominated, to make the
people forget what a mess he made of
government affairs, while he was
helping his father-in-law run things a
few years ago.
Smith’s backers believe there will
be enough Wet Republicans leave the
party to support him against Presi
dent Harding to carry doubtful states.
They say the South will vote for a
Wet Democrat rather than break off
from the party, despite the fact that
the South is decidedly dry and getting
drier every year. But the alleged
Solid South has been cracked a cou
ple of times and it is not so solid as
in the days when the waving of the
“bloody shirt” decided elections.
President Harding will have no op
position for the nomination unless
something like an earthquake in poli
tics is experienced soon. He will not
be supported by LaFollette, nor by a
tew other pseudo Republicans, but
this kind of opposition only empha
sizes the fact that Republicans have
long ceased to count upon these radi
cals and will be better pleased to
have their support thrown elsewhere.
Henry Ford is still being taken se-!
riously in some quarters. He may
cot be a candidate, but if he does he
will make it uncomfortable for any
Democrat who may try for the nomi
nation, and if he runs irrespective of
the wetness or dryness of his qualifi
cations, McAdoo and Smith may have
a good chance to see how weak they
are with the farming element of the
country, many of whom look upon the
jitney manufacturer as a second Mes
siah, with a cure for all' agricultural
ills including boll weavel and cater
pillars.
With Ford against Harding there
would be a nice battle staged between
capital and brains. Unfortunately, too
many Americans want a man of in
tellect in the White House, to be car
ried away by the Ford cult. If WTar
ren G. Harding is in the race on the
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November, 1924, he will receive
authorization from the yoters to give
the country the kind of administra
tion it needs.
ARE ALWAYS WITH US
God is said to move in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform. Once in
a while we see some useful, well nigh
indispensible person called by Death,
while the world is cluttered with use
less bits of wreckage that thd the
community would be better off with
out. Why this should be so will never
be revealed until the veil separating
the finite from the infinite shall have
been lifted, and His secrets revealed.
The average community could stand
a half dozen funerals a year and be
the better therefor. Looking at it
from a community standpoint the un
dertaker is loafing on his job. The
man who constantly criticises every
act done for the betterment of the
community; the merchant who yells
“buy at home” while he buys Outside;
the citizens who spends his money
with Squeers and Sawbuck, and crit
icises his home council for not keep
ing the city’s streets and walks in
better condition; these all could be
quietly garnered by the grim reaper,
and we would be better on.
But the pest, like the poor, is al
ways with us, and always will be on
hand to nullify the efforts of the sin
cere and hardworking citizen. We
can only tolerate him until we can
move to some place where they abi
deth" not; which more than likely is
the grave.

MIXING MOONSHINE IN SOAP
SUDS FAILS TO SAVE
SKAGIT COUNTY RESIDENT1
|
MOUNT VERNON, July 24—Mixing
moonshine in a tub of soapsuds failed
to save F. J. Cope, of Skiyou, from con
viction in court here yesterday. Cope
drew an assessment of $100 and costs
for violation of the liquor law.
Skagit officers testified that Mrs.
Cope grabbed a jar of the forbidden
drink from a kitchen shelf and dump
ed the liquor into a tub of soapy water
while they were arguing with her hus
band at the front door of the Cope
domicile up-river from Sedro-Wooley.
The suds were so strong, the deputies
admitted that the odor of the liquor
was lost, but there remained the jar
with the tell-tale smell #and a few
drops of home-made brew.
