A young Kiel wit a natural flnUh attracted attention oil the street* ^icre t'day. Duniels for President? If the Democratic National Convention at New York in June is to develop into a battle of favorite sons, this newspaper would hope, and vote, if it had a vote, iSr the nomination of Josephus Daniels. Mr. Daniels is the peer of any one of them, not excepting Oscar Under wood, whom we regard as dead, politically, as William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Daniels is not only the peer of any other of the favor ite sons now prominently men tioned but also he has a decid ed advantage over the rest ot" these possibilities in the appeal of his personality to the aver age voter, by reason of the fa vorable light in which he has appeared in the pitiless public ity that Congressional investi gation has recently turned up on the oil lease scandals. Hav ing come through the investiga tion not only without the smell of oil on his own garments but also, as having stood staunch and immovable against the de signs and as having steered shy of the pitfalls of cunning graft ers, the figure of Mr. Daniels has caught the imagination of the masses of the people in u way that might. The Advance is disposed to think, sweep him in to the Presidency if the Demo crats should nominate him. A prophet is not without hon or save in his own country and those newspapers which com pare Harding and Daniels, say ing that if Daniels is honest, so was-iHarding are not quite fair to the North Carolinian. Mr. Daniels has not only his integ rity to commend him. As Secre tary of the Navy he has a rec ord for courage and efficiency of which any American might be proud. Mr. Daniel? sur prised his friends and discom-l fited those who snickered when ! he was given a place in Wilson's cabinet by that record. It is within the bounds of possibility that he might repeat that per formance in the White House. If The Advance were confi dent on that point it would have Men on the Daniels bandwagon long ago. But to be President of the United States of Ameri ca is a vastly different and more responsible position than that of Secretary of the Navy, and we can not escape a doubt as to the North Carolinian's abilitv to measure up to the duties and responsibilities that would de volve upon him in the White House in a day when the prob lems confronting the Chief Ex-| ecutive were never more diff icult and complex. We had no such doubts about Mc Adoo. Until this oil scan dal developed he was to us the one outstanding National Leader in a day when leaders had failed in Israel and when the people perished because there was no vision. Shice the scandal we have been uncertain, j McAdoo's friends will not let him retire just yet and The A?!-i vance will not give hiin up just I yet. There are those who s'.iil not only believe in him but v'ho also believe that he is still the one candidate who can win the next election for the Democrats. Dr. G. VV. Paschal, -for instince, of the chair of Latin at 'Vake Forest College, in a letter to the editor in Thursday's News and Observer says : I have seen several communica tions in your paper to the effect fhat Mr. McAdoo is no longer a fit can didate for President. On the other hand I think that the developments of the past two months have made it clear that the only candidate with which the Democrats can win is Mr. McAdoo. I understand the wild glee with which the New York Times and oth er papers committed to the interests of the railroad heralded the evi dence of Mr. Doheny that Mr. Mc Adoo was hH man Friday to do his will in the oil leases. When later it was seen that this evidence was false, and Doheny himself admitted that it wis false, it became evident | that its purpose was to put Mr. Mc Adoo ou* of the race for the Presi dency." For it is clear that Doheny and mel of his type do not want a [man wl'h Mr. McAdoo's ideas oi hon esty in government as our Chief Ex ecutive. At* ?his new turn of affairs great was the disappointment of opponents of Mr. McAdoo and great their chag rin that he was not done for. Accordingly they began to say that a man who had ever served ifie Doheny interests in any way. be it ever so innocent, would be a weak candidate, and the Democrats could not afford to use him. And they have not been satisfied to state the facts but by misrepresentation and innuendo they have tried to slander Mr. McAdoo and so save the Demo cratic party from making such a blunder as to nominate him. The truth is Mr. Doheny overesti mated the power of his false state ment in supposing that it would get rid of Mr. McAdoo. Mr. McAdoo soon brought him to taw and stated the facts which ought to satisfy ev erybody. And Mr. McAdoo has a record of nearly eight years of dis interested and faithful service in Mr. Wilson's cabinet. He took our rail roads when they had ceased almost to give any service at all and despite the opposition^ of the railroad offi-| MOVING PICTTR?S FUNNIES Cut out the picture on all four sides.

Short Course ill Domestic Medicine In the preceding talk with the ar tistic title of "Spring House Clean ing," we described the medicine cup board and enumerated the two dozen items in it. Now I intend to take each item in turn and give a lot of valuable Information about the uses in the home treatment of minor ills or first aid information which may save you considerable trouble and expense, and so 1 suggest here that mother cr aunt Jean or sister Maud carefully cut out and preserve each I of these articles and when the series [ is finished, bind them together in a little bocrk and keep It in one of J those empty compartments in the > secoud shelf of the medicine cup board for future reference. If you miss any of the series, try buying back numbers ot the paper at the orrice. l hiiaii be unable lo supply copies of these articles to individuals who happen to tune In too late.

There are more "powerful" antiseptics which come In much fan cier costumes than plain boric acid does, but If you can take my word for It. you may net along very well Indeed with nothing more In the way of an antiseptic than boric acid In the medicine cupboard at your house. Anyway we do at our house.

When such a solution | is used in the ear, as a spray in the nose, or as eye wash or ear drops it should be warmed first by stand ing the bottle in warm water. As j mouth wash or gargle it may be hot or cold as preferred.

But he Instituted several re- 1 forms, such as cutting the salaries ! of railroad presidents, and suggested j other changes which showed that he! understood the great transportation | problem. It is on account of th!s that the railroad interests arei against him. But on the other hand this is one ; great reason why the people of the country are turning to him as the man for our next President. If he is nominated it is almost | certain that he will carry all thos?' | states where progressive ideas of | government are popular.
