They bae already made it a felony not only to drink small beer, but to have .it in one's possession. Tho price of 'shoes is to come down by law and cloth ing is to be made cheaper by statute, and meat and eggs and vegetables, in spile of the high wages paid to labor, are to be old at prices which prevailed before the war if the consumers will go to the polls und put the right piece of paper into a box arranged 10 receive it.

And there will be more people fooled for the whole summer this. year than ever, before, for the simple reason that there arc more people In the coun try. Yet as wo have survived past fol lies, It Is likely that we shall survive those of the present, and whatever the result of the presidential election may be, God will continue to reign nnd tho government in Washington will continue to live.

MONEY AND POLITICS SENATOR RORAII is not tho only one who Is moved to clamorous ut terance by tho spending habit of a few conspicuous candidates for nntionnl of fice. The dollar-mnrk is coming back into the cartoons. Certainly the curi osity of the public is being aroused, and when the people, begin to ask questions they will have to" be nnswercd. It Is plain thnt a good deal of money is being spilled in the West, but it is a question whether Genera! Wood. Gov ernor Lowdcn and others nre uctunlly putting it to an illegitimate ufc. They nre paying tlif new high cot of propa ganda -nnd the huge salaries of press agents. Even such expenditures are not inspiring, for the candidates who always are trusted by tho public are those who do not need press agents. "We nre perfectly willing to go to the mat with Mr. Ilorah." snid Repre sentative Norman J. Gould, one of Gen eral Wood's campnign managers. That statement leaves something to bo desired.

It is not mere chance that prompts radicals to choose July for an interna tional strike. They figure that if the weather gets sufficiently hot men won't care whether school keeps or nol. This is n day for all of us par ticularly for those who fool themselves with the thought that they possess wisdom Germany's plan for plucking victory out of defeat is to make every internal disturbance nn excuse for dodging pence terms. It la the firm conviction of every professional politician that the candi date without a barrel cannot stave off defeat. Birds returning from the South do not anticipate nny trouble in renewing leuscs for their summer homes. There Is nothing mawkish about Hoover "sentiment." It is born of confidence rather than of hero-worship. Even soft coal Is hnrd to get now. aduys; and bard coal is pretty soft for tho dealer. The new city controller's motto Is "Whnt is to bo Will B." If there wern no optimisU would be no reformers. there ELECTION ODDITIES Political PropheU Can Prove Al most Any thine by Ingenioui Reference to Presidential Campaign Precedents FREE indulgence. In the American passion for political precedent Is one of tho most enlivening features of presi dential campaigns. Tradition In such Instances means qulto the reverse of rigidity, for the facts of our great quad rennial adventures arc sufficiently varie gated to support almost nny lino of reasoning. Dark horses nnd scrupulously groomed candidates bnve won nnd have been defeated. There have been unani mous elections; elections In 1K00 nnd 1S121 that were decided by the House of Representatives. Once, In the case of Hajes, n special committee was nnmed to reach n result, which .was delayed until two days before the inauguration, A President who, previous to his first nomination, bad never voted tho Re publican ticket, twice led the Republican party to victory. Thm wns Grant, whos early political leanings were ns much n mystery anil n source ot argument ns those of Herbert Hoover were until this week. A fusion of parties bus been greatly to n candidate's ndvantnge, nnd it hns been a mnjor cause of defeat. Iu this latter instance Horace Orccley was the sufferer. Ills nomination by the Liberal Republicans in 187- was a product of opposition within the Re publican party to Grant's lamentable political incapacity. The choico, frqm the standpoint of the bolters, was un fortunate, slnco tho Biipportof tho Dem ocrats was essential to victory In this 0rlginnlly the Liberal Republicans tn, vmm f liar-ir- hopes on Chnrlcs Francis Adams, son of John Qulncy ta0 nomination The Democrats short!? nfterward chose" him ns their candidate. In theory the chances for bis election scorned ex cellent. Hut many old-line Democrats hAt,at Greeley's previous Republican nfflliotlons, while Republicans, even Hcfore the college met in l.VJO it wns fully realized thnt James Monroe would bo indorsed for a second term. Parti sanship wiifc nt low ebb. or rnthcr it was undivided. Tho Federalists had outlived their usefulness. Their vigor ous program had made the nation, but they bnd failed to advance with its progress. In JS10 a feeble effort nt organization wns made nnd Rufus King, of New York, wits nominated for the presi dency. He received thirty-four elec toral votes to Monroe's 18T. Four years Inter the "Era of Good Feeling" was In full swing. Federalism was ex tinct. Tho Whig party, whioii was to contest the control of the executive branch of the government with the Democracy for a generation, bad not yet taken shape. It wns twelve years before presiden tial nomitmting conventions wcre insti tuted. The congrcssiounl cnucus tyslem was still in vogue. The caucus called during the scsMon of 1820 was slimly at tended. A resolution was passed de claring it inexpedient to mnkc any rec ommendation. It wns a foregone con clusion that .Monroe would ngain be the nation's .choice. The ono elector who turned against the administration cast his ballot for John Quincy Adams. Monroe received the other 231 votes. So swiftly, however, do political cur- rcntu swirl that within four years tho . . ... ... . eventually cnosen ooaiy cnougn, Dy tne legislative instrument which hail em bittered his fnther in electing Thomas Jefferson nearly a quarter of n century earlier. That battle vns particularly agonizing to n new nation. Contested elections 'were nn ominous novelty, ledcralism was supercilious nnd arrogant concern - ing tho new Democracy. John Adnms, having served one term, wns exceedingly confident of his re-election cverthc less, his opponents carried The electoral President shall oe voted lor separately. In 1800 thirty-six ballots were taken before Jefferson, to tho utter chagrin of Adams, was elected. BEFORE his death In 1709 Washing ton cume to realize nnd to deplore the vole which partisanship wns to play in American government. Its healthy aspects were, ou tho whole, incompre hensible to him. This was natural, since the first presi dential election wns an imposing testi monial of unshndowed popular affection. North Carolina and Rhode Island had not ioincd the Union In 1708. A politi cal tangle in New York had deprived her of contributing electors. Rut Wash ington received the votes nf tho ten stutes represented a total of sixty-nine ballots. His second election, though also unan imous, was held while politicnl clouds were beclnulug to gather. Jefferson. the secretary of state, resigned from the cabinet in 1701 to lead tho opposition. JAMES K. POLK is generally rated as tbe first frueccssful dark hor&e in the American presidential race. Others similarly ranked arc Pierce, Hayes and Garfield. The Democrats nursed thc in tplration in such precedents when Rrynn stepped into tho Illusory limelight in 180(1. Wilson can hardly be classed ns n surprise candidate in 1012, nlthough he was by no means tbe choico of his party machine. His occupancy of a governorship wns hailed as a good omen. Stato governors have often been effectivo pruddentlnl material. THE ingenuity of the forecasters is, however, limitless. Thero is always something in our history to fortify their deductions. It is this prodigious em barrassment of tips which casts over the best-lntentloned prophets lint pall of futility.
