Weekly Panorama of Events in
the National Capital.
By PETER KEEGAN
Special Correspondent
The Polk County News
IT IS HARD TO IMPROVE od
the White House as a headquarters
for a presidential campaign in the
view of President (Joolidge. So
wedded is he to the Executive Man
sion that h has now concluded/ to re.
main in Washington until a day or
two before the election, when he
will go to Northampton, Mass.^ to
enable Mrs. Coolidge and himself to
vote. He is in the midst of a "back
porch" campaign with the South
portico of the White House as, the
stump from which he addresses the
visiting Republican delagatlons. ,
SECRETARY HUGHES is having
some difficulty in discussing the
Leaugue of Nations in his political
speeches. The reason is this: As a
Republican leader he was to lam.
bast the league in view of the fact
that Mr. Davis has come out strong
ly for American participartion^ but
at the same time he does not dare
to go too far in his critlcsms of the
political methods of European pow.
ers for his remarks^ made as Sec.
retry of State, may be misinterpret,
ed abroad.
MARYLAND'S SPECIAL Con,
gressman Sydney Mudd, assuines
an importantance that it otherwise
would not have because of the pos.
sibility of the Presidential election
being thrown into Congress. Be.
fore Mudd's death, the Maryland
delegation in the House was split
evenly between Democrats and Re
publicans. Under that condition
it would have no vote in breaking a
deadlock in the electoral college;
Mudd was a Republican. If the
Republicans win the special elec
tion? the Maryland delagation will
remain deadlocked and voicel* ss.but
if the Democrats win the delegation
will .be in a position to vote for the
Democratic presidential candidate.
Leading orators of both parties will
participate in the Maryland Cam.
paign.
I THE FIRST THING that Senator
Borah found out when he started his
investigation of campaign expendi
tures was that his own party had
collected the most and was spending
most of the money in the great
fight for votes that comes to an end
on November 4. Well over a million
dollars had been collected by the
RepublicanSj their records showed^
while the Democrats and Progres
sives were getting along with less
One of the surprises^ however^ wa?
that the LaFollette supporters were
spending far more than the Demo,
crats, through later and more com.
plete figures may change this reck
1 oning.
AS THE TIME for the election '
approaches, the Administration is
putting off many things instead of'
cleaning them up In a hurry # One of
the reasons for this is that more
than half of the officials are spend,
ing a l?t of time in speech_makingt
Among the matters which appear to 1
be in fair way to be delayed until
the middle of November is the pro.
posal to change the tariff on sugar, |
The question is before the Presi.
dent for decision, but the additional
data he has asked for will take a
long while to get together. The de.
lay has led to harsh criticism of the
President by the Democratic Na.
tional Committee, which points out
that a reduction in the sugar duty
would save ' the American people
hundreds of thousands of dollars, :
THE HOUSING SITUATION In the
Capital has become acute, the courts
having rendered a number of deci
sions aimed at the abolition of the
Federal Rent Commission, which
has fixed rents on residential prop,
erty here since the war days., Ae
soon as the commission Is put out of
business, rents are expected to soar
sky-high. One group of citizens
has drawn up a petition to the Presi
dent asking permission to live in
tents on the White House Grounds
pointing out that there are no
apartments which they can afford to
occupy.

A motor car requires water, oil,
air and gas to run. There is some
satisfaction, mutters Gerald Stone,
in knowing that half of the neces.
sities of its operation are free.
There was a man in Polk County
and he was wonderous wise, he
swore it was- policy to never adver
tise. But one day he did adver
tise and thereby hangs a tale; the
"ad" was set in Qulte small type and
headed "Sheriff Sale"
I'd give anything said a Saluda
banker, to us the other day, to go
back to the days when I was a kid
just to throw the old hoe down
where I was hilling potatoes while
'Dad' was on the other side of the
hill in a nearby field, and sneak off
thru woods that used to spread out
back of our old homestead,
I remember how two three of us
would skip down thru shaded paths
with squirrels chattering on each
side and rabbits jumping % up Just
ahead. We'd cut willow poles dig
worms, and go back to the creek a
mile away after speckled trout. And
then there was the old swimming
pond, and the ball games and riding
horses out to pastures and bringing
