The Alamance gleaner 1 ^jESTS> VOL. Llll. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY NOVEMBER 3, 1927. N<X 4Q. I DOINGS OF THE WEEK 1 NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Senator Curtis of Kansas De sires to Head the Repub lican Ticket. 0y EDWARD W. PICKARD WE NOW have one openly avowed candidate for the Republican Presidential nomination. Charles Cur tis, United States senator from Kan sas, has Informed his friends in that state?and the public at large?that he will be pleased to be the candidate of the Kansas delegation, and with the announcement comes evidence that he is going after the nomination in dead earnest. He believes that he adequately represents the Interests of the great West and that as a con servative who, nevertheless, is liberal on many issues, he will be acceptable to the rest, of the country. Senator Curtis came to his de cision after President Coolidge had scolded Senator Fess for the latter's insistence on a third term for the present incumbent This incident con vinced the Kansas senator that Mr. Coolidge really would not consent to be drafted and therefore he sent to his boomers a letter in which he said: "Having served in the house and senate for more than 35 years, I know the great responsibility of the Presi dency and the arduous duties of the office. Nevertheless, if my friends of Kansas desire to send a delegation to the next Republican national conven tion favorable to my nomination, I shall be greatly pleased to be their candidate. However, I will not con sent to become a candidate if the del egation is to be selected with a view of voting for me for a few ballots as a 'favorite son.' As I stated when the question was first to be put to me, 'I will not allow tnyself to be used as a stalking horse for anyone.'" Already there are Curtis for Pres ident clubs in every county In Kansas, and the movement In his favor has many followers In Missouri and Okla homa. He will have the solid Kansas delegation back of him, and in Wash ington It is considered that even if he does not get first place on the ticket he will be in position to do effective trading that may get him the vice presidential nomination. Growth of the Norris boom, which Is fostered by the radical Republicans and supported by Senator Borah, is admittedly hurting Lowden's pros pects In the West DETROIT has been enjoying a spectacular mayoralty campaign that has attracted the attention of the whole country. - Mayor John W. Smith, candidate for re election, is nn avowed wet and declares prohibition never can be enforced and Is the greatest force for evil in America to day. If he Is re-elected, a liberal pol icy will continue In Detroit, and many of the city's big business men support him because, they assert, that policy has greatly benefited the city, espe cially in the way of attracting hun dreds of national conventions. Oppos ing Smith is John C. Lodge, candidate of the drys, who has been president of the city council and before that a member of the leglature and a news paper man. He declined to do any campaigning and says little or noth ing on the subject of prohibition. CAROL, former crown prince of Rumania, decided that perhaps he should be placed on the throne and so wrote a bunch of letters to his leading supporters and Rumanian Politicians stating bis position. These *ere entrusted to M. Manoilescu, for mer undersecretary of state, who was arrested with the documents In his possession. Determined to suppress any movement to enthrone Carol, the government grabbed hundreds of his friends in various parts of the coun "7. and put Rumania under martial law with large bodies of troops placed In strategical positions and a strict censorship established.

Opponents of the government in ISukliarest were said to be greatly aroused, especial ly after It was reported that Bratiano intended to arrest Juliu Mania, lead er of the national peasant party. General Avarescn, once the ally of Bratiano but now his enemy, is credited with starting this Cnrollst movement. The prince is at St. Malo on the French seacoast. Ilec-ntly lie ostentatiously separated from Magila Lupescu, for whom he deserted Ills wife. It is said that among the seized letters was one from Mugdti to her parents sa.vfng the announcement of her break with "a dear friend" was a formality only. EIGHTY miles off the Brazilian coast opposite I'orto Segura, the boilers of the Italian liner Prlncipessa Mafalda, from Genoa to llio de Ja neiro, exploded and the vessel went to the bottom in less than four hours. Fortunately the sea was calm and the steamer's radio calls for help brought several other steamships to the res cue, so that of the 900 passengers and crew of 240 all but OS were saved. Most of the passengers were Italian emigrants who were celebrating their arrival when the accident occurred. The captain and crew are credited with great heroism and coolness In preventing a panic and getting many of their charges launched in lifeboats. The Frencli liner Formosa was the first ship to arrive in response to the S. O. S. call, and her commander's dar ing exploit in maneuvering close to the Mafalda and taking 110 persons from her decks before she sank was hailed by the survivors as being one of the great deeds In the annals of the sea. COLORADO'S coal mine strike, which is managed by the Indus trial Workers of the World, Is becom ing more serious. Two of the state's largest coal fiefds are closed and new mines are Involved dally. The lead ers persist In picketing mines despite the law and court injunctions and up to this time they have done this peace ably, though they threaten to "march through the state with cannon" If any of their pickets are killed. Governor Adams says the strikers are violating the state law which prescribes (hat thirty days' notice shall be given he fore a walkout, and he- will not deal with the members of tlie I. W. W. which Colorado does not recognise ns a bona fide labor organization. The governor, however, has declined so fur to send troops Into the field, stating that the county officiate must preserve order until they are ready to admit that they are unable to do so. The people of Colorado fear a repetition of the civil warfare that swept the state In 1013 and 1914. culminating in the battle of Ludlow. The miners de mand a wage increase from $5.50 a day to $8.50. no eight-hour day and a five-day week. Rear admiral magruder, who was so presumptuous as to crit icize the management of the navy In a magazine article, was relieved of his command at Philadelphia by Secre tary of the Navy Wilbur and ordered to report to Washington because he had "talked too much" since the pub lication of that article. "1 do not feel," the secretary said, "that the secretary of the navy should he com pelled to get information from naval officers concerning plans for the navy organization by obtaining newspu|ters or magazines In which such informa tion is published. Such officers are paid by the government to render this service to the people and such Informa tion should tie presented to regularly constituted authority by appropriate channels." Admiral Magruder sent to President Coolidge a letter asking for a revoca tion of the order detaching him from duty at Philadelphia, but the chief executive declined to Interfere or to see the admiral. FALL and Sinclair won a point In their trial In Washington for con spiracy to defraud the government when the court ruled out the testi mony given in the senate oil inquiry. Much of the evidence last week was concerned with the Liberty bond pay ments allegedly made to Fall by Sin clair. Though nnahle to connect Sin clair directly with this transaction, the government sought to prove that be was interested In the Continental For some time the archeologlcal party has been exploring In the north ern part of 1'rince Itupert. An an cient refuse heap Is In the process of being cleared away. On top of the heap stood a huge cedar tree, whose rings show an age of three hundred twenty-five years.

Everhart, Call's son-in-law, and that Everhart with part of this paid off debts of companies In which Kail was Interested, and turned over bonds valued at $00,000 to Kail direct. A volume of evidence to support the government's contention that de ception and secrecy surrounded the Fall-Sinclair transaction was laid be fore the Jury. Theodore ltoosevelt, Jr., assistant secretary of the navy at the time the lease was signed, de tailed what he understood to be the policy of lite navy on the disitosltlon of tlte oil reserves. He declared lie did not learn that the entire Teapot Dome area was to be opened by leas ing until some time after the Fall-Sin clair negotiations were consummated. His understanding was that only off set wells were to be drilled. THURSDAY, the birthday of Theo dore Roosevelt, was celebrated throughout the country as navy day. Naval vessels, navy yards and stations were all open and many navy officials delivered addressee. Tlte keynote of the day was "Develop American sea power and merchant marine." D WIGHT MORROW, our new am bassador to Mexico, arrived in Slexico City and was warmly greeted by Mexican and American residents alike, all of whom feel that he will go far toward ending the uncom fortable relations exlating between the two notions. Od Saturday President Calles fcrmaiiy received Mr. Morrow ip the great hall of ambassadors and by hie order there were present the entire cabinet, members of the for eign relations department and all mili tary officers not on duty elsewhere. The American Chamber of Commerce, the American club and many leading business men also attended. FIFTEEN universities in the United States are openly teaching socialist beliefs, while proponents of commu nism and internationalism are using the Federal Council of Churches, the Y M. C. A., the League of Women Voters and college organizations to foster dis trust or the government, according to Fred Marvin of New York. He rnnde this statement In an address before the annual convention of the Reserve Officers' Association of the United States In Milwaukee. "Those engaged In subversive work against the government are using the Y. M. C. A. with great effect to fur ther tbelr ends," Mr. Marvin de clared. "The leaders In this work are secretaries of the organization who were In Russia during the revo lution. While this Is being done with out the consent or knowledge of the great hulk of men and women who support the organization, the propo nents of communism are In executive positions and are haTlng their own way. Relative to the league of Women Voters and the Federal Council of Churches, Mr. Marvin said: "These are high-class brganizations formed by high-minded persons, but in some lo calities they hare been misled into supporting the policies of the rubier slve forces. The Y. M. C. A. and the Federal Council of Churches are Inno cently led to support those who seek to destroy the government In Hie 1st lief that the propaganda Is tending to advance the teachings of Christ and promoting world peace." BANKERS of the United States, at their annual convention In Hous ton. Texas, devoted a lot of attention to flood control and agricultural re lief. on both of which they urged leg islation.

WHEN JIM CAME BACK HOME <? by D. J. w?l.h > MARIA MATTHEWS sat by the table lo the living room In sorrowful silence. Outside the weather was In accord with her melancholy mood. The future loomed before her lonely, forbidding, hopeless. Two years before to a day a steam boat bad gone down on the Atlantic with all on board, Including Iter hus band?big, bluff. Jolly Jim Matthews His name was on the steamboat's list of passengers Before embarking he had sent ber the letter which she now held In ber hand. Tears fell from her eyes as she read It for the hundredth time. "Dear Maria: When you receive this I shall be on my way to Soutb America. That last Informal quar rel we had settled It. The way you looked at me?something you said well, I made up my mind that we had better be opart for a while. Every thing we own Is now In your name. Good-by and good luck. "JIM." Jim's wife was a tiny creature, full of sparkle and life In her girlhood, but now subdued through trouble and sorrow. She went over the old gronnd again and again In ber mind until her brain was weary. "Jim meant to come home. He never meant to desert me," she told herself fiercely. "Why, oh, why?of all afloat?must the steamer that car ried Jim be the one to go down!" Why had Got punished her so ter ribly? For punishment It was, she had no doubt of that. Sbe acknowledged to herself that she bad been hard to live with?exacting, unreasonable, ag gravating. She had a caustic tongue. Jim had thought her sharp speeches "cute" at first. Perhaps he did not admire them so much when he him self became the object of them. Broth er Tom had once said to her: "Ma-, rla, you can say the most cutting things In that confounded drawl of yours of anybody I ever knew." As for that "last quarrel," It had been like all their quarrels. She could not even remember what It was about. No caustic remark was on the tip of her tongue today. The snapping black eyes were soft and humid, with dark rings around them caused by much weeping. Jim's photograph, In a pretty frame, stood on the table. She gazed at It lovingly, hungrily. . Suddenly she started to ber feet. A baby's voice was calling "Mil-inn! Ma-ma!" Maria went into the bed room and, lifting the child in her arms, came back to her seat, holding him tightly to ber bosom. A beauti ful baby boy, rosy, from sleep, he was health and beauty personified. He reached out eager hands toward the portrait, and cooed cunningly: "Pa-pa Pa-pa." Maria kitted him passionately. "Papa would never have gone away If he had knpwn God was sending a little Jim to bridge the ehnsro between us." she lamented. Every one who saw the child de clared him to be the "dead Image of Jim Matthews." Indeed lie wss ridicu lously like big Jim. even to the mole In the middle of his forehead, which on the little face seemed ludicrously Incongruous. - There was the same fine head with the rippling fair hair, the same fearless blue eyes, the same straight nose, square chin and mouth with upward curving corners, always ready for a laugh. The elder Jim was Impatient, so was little Jim. "Ma-ma?milk." he commanded Im periously. And. of course, milk was immedlstely forthcoming. It was Sat urday afternoon. Saturday night sup per had always been a festal occa sion?when good humor happened to prevail. Maria cooked aomethlng es pecially appetizing, and Jim brought home a treat which he knew Ids wife would enjoy. Often It was a hoi of candy, sometimes rare fruit, and more often than anything at tbla time of the year a big California melon, golden and luscious. Maria's mind dwelt upon this now, and like a child she ' began to pretend. She would have a 1 make-believe party. 1 "1 shall go mad If 1 keep on think ing." she declared abruptly. "I may 1 as well make a fool of myself one way ' j as another. If I can get any pleasure 1 - out of pretending that Jim Is coming home to supper, whose business Is It?" She bustled about adding coal to the Are and getting out cooking mate J rials from the pantry. "I may as well have a real good sapper while I am about It," she said I flrmly. "I suppose It will take me a t whole week to eat the stuff, but what's the difference," recklessly. "I-et me tee?tea biscuit, raisin cake, with chocolate IdDg. strawberry lam * cheese and honey. Jim liked them all. _ I wonder what he will bring home tn ? night." with a strange smile. , ! She set the labia with her best linen . nd china.

She paused for a moment to bur; her face in a man's cout that hung on a nail behind the kitchen door. Jim had not stopped to take uny of bis belong ings. "Two yenrs today since the boat went down!" she moaned. "Poor Jim r Baby wiis In his high chair by the kitchen table, mnklng a deafening din with a spoon.

A knot of crimson rib bon at the throat relieving tlie somlier hue of her hlack dress, and a gold chain and locket Jim had given her. The biscuits were baked to a beauti ful brown, the cake was waiting on the table. Everything was ready but the teu. She never put the tea to steep until Jim came. Baby Jim was nmldlng sleepily. She must lav him In his crib. This done, she sat down In the rocking chair by the window to watch for Jim. How beautiful everything looked, even to the purple chrysanthemums In their cut-glass bowl In the centei of the table. Jim's slippers were be side bis chair, ready to put on the moment he came In. "lie Is late," she whispered, with a forlorn attempt nt a laugh. She sut very still, her mlml wan dering back and forth from the pres ent to the past, from the past to the preseut.

It was relief unspeakable to him when she opened her eyes. "Jltn!" she uttered, Imploringly. "Oil, Jlin, you nre not ilead! I thought you ivere dead!" Her eye* demanded an nnswer. "Not me!" declared Jlin ungrum mallcally. "In (act, I'm very much alive. That confounded boat went off and left me staring at it like a fool from the dork.
