“NORMALCY” AND “OLD TIMES.”
Senator Harding has been saying in his
speeches that he “wants to get back tv
normalcy” and “Jovernor Coolidge
professes to wish for a restoration of
‘*old times,”
These gentlemen are the candidates of
the “Old Guard. The “normalcy” of
‘‘old times" Senator Harding wishes to
get back to must be that of the good old,
golden Mark Hanna days, when an
*0ld Guard's” campaign fund exceeded
$16,000,c00 ; when a price was paid ‘or
election ; when employees at great in-
dustrial plantfS'were told by their super-
intendents, the agents of special inter-
ests, that unless they voted as they (the
representatives of special interests)
wished them to vote, their jobs would
be closed to them on the day following
the election ; they were the days when
corporation taskmasters wrung immense
dividends from the very blood of women
and children employed in unregulated
**‘sweatshops”,
On the other hand, in the days of
“normalcy” 3 the *‘old times”, there
was no Federdl Reserve system ; panics
were as frequent as seasons, and nation-
al bank failures occurred on an average
of one every three weeks ; thete was no
Farm Loan system ; small farmers were
the victims of mortgage bank pirates
and tenancy was the curse of the land ;
there was no Federal aid in road build-
ing, and every farmer paid a “mud tax;"
there was no merchant marine ; there
~ was none of the many beneficent legisla-
tive enactments of the last two Demo-
cratic administrations, which wrested
the power of the government out of the
hands of a few snd lodged it in the hands
of the people, In those days of ‘‘nor-
malcy” an insiduous lobby guided the
hand that wrote the laws placed upon
the Nation's statute books, until driven
from the corridors of the Capitol as the
money-changers of old were lashed from
the Temple.
Such was “normalcy” in the “old
times” for which the ‘Old Guard”, the
agents of the special interests, speaking
through its candidates, so fervently
sighs,
Very little is heard of or from Senator
Harding's running mate, which may be
accoun:ed for by the fact that when the
head of a ticket is put on the tail end he
doesn't know exactly what to do oF My,
§
A SYNDICATE PRESIDENT.
If by any miscarriage of suffrage,
Senator Harding should be successful
at the polls, who would be President of
the United States?
The Senator and the ‘dominant group
in the Senate” that nominated him have
* | repudiated what they call a ‘‘one-man”
Presidency, provided by the Consti-
tution. The candidate has even an-
nounced that he intends to make the
Vice-President a member of his Cabinet,
for which there is no provision whatever
in the Constitution. The Presidency is
to be run by a syndicute ; everybody—
that is, everybody in the Senatorial
Syndicate—is to have something to say.
There 1s no question about who will
be President if Governor Cox shall be
elected, The President in name and in
fact will be James M. Cox. If Senator
Harding shall be elected the Presi-
dent in name will be Warren G. Hard-
ing, but a Board of Directors composed
of Penrose, Lodge, Smoot, et al. will be
President in fact,
Do the American people want a syn”
dicated President ?

Editor Reporter :
Hearkening to several more or less
touching appeals (last week's particular-
ly), I've “caved,” and am enclosing
check for $1.50 on account subscription
to the Centre Reporter from Decem: ber
191g, to December 1920, of Mrs. R. M.
Magee. I certainly do enjoy receiving
your little paper; sometimes feel in-
clined to follow the alleged trend of the
old-time subscriber and become peevish
because my more intimate friends and
relatives don't figure more largely.
I'm still on duty in Washington, nom.
inally attached to the Naval Hospital
here, awaiting the time that the powers
that be may act upon my papers. It
has been quite hot here, at times, but
on the whole the weather has been
pleasant. But Washington is pot so
fascinating during the summer as was
the case in the spring. The august leg-
slators, and the diplomats and their fol-
lowers, are among the missing, and
their absence is sorely felt, by me at
least. “We” have lots of excursionists
from out along the B, & O,, however,
and ** sight seeing” parties are every-
where. (Main line of the B. &, O, from
points west to the seashore passes
through Washington, you wiil recall,
and everyone stops off here)
In between time I slip out to the Po-
tomac Boat Club to take a row in my
shell. Now and then I get in some
golf ; tennis every Saturday afternoon ;
so it hasn't been such a dreadfully poor
summer. Spend considerable time here
at the club, where I have many friends,
and attend some of the Masonic work
now and thea.
Centre Hall must have a pretty good
High school and town base ball team
from your account ! [ He hadn't heard
of the Sandy Ridge game when this was
written, —Ed.}
I expect you all are all set for the pic
nic, or rather the Encampment and
Fair. ,
Give my best regards to all my
friends in Centre Hall. If there be any-
thing I can do for you here in Washing-
ton, or in Philadelphia, please don't hes.
itate. I'll be only too glad to be of ser-
vice.
Sincerely yours,
Bovp Macke,
