She died in beauty ~ like a rose
Blown from its parent stem;
She died in beauty—like a pearl
Dropped from some diadem
She died in beauty like a lay
Along a moonlit lake;
She died in beauty—like a song
Of birds amid the brake
She died in beauty - like the .now
Of flowers dissolved away
Sh» died in beauty—like » slat
l;ost on the brow of day
She lives in glory like night •• gems
Set round the silver moon;
She lives in glory--like the sun
Amid the blue oi dune.

years ago* Atmee McPherson did it.
There was: a large hue and cry
When she turned up again she said
she had been kidnapped and then
excitement was even- wilder, But
when her kidnapping story tottered
under the bombardment of skeptics
and there were strong indications
that her disappearance was • for
love alone. " the authorities who had
directed the : (arch for her and
hunted the kidnappers were peevea.
Men in public office don’t like to
be used in - hat way. The law ob
jects strongly to being used, either
for publicity j imposes or as a bhne
for any other purpose.
But recently California has fal
len just as bad for another trick dis
appearance
"When a gentleman named Ralph
Fa mum. who earns his bread and
butter by managing, stage and
screen stars, decided to put hi ;
name on tlr front, page and give
his wife a .little - .-re, into t he bat -
gain he got himself !o.! in Death

“Ralph Fa mum lost in Death Val

And the account went on to la
ment, ‘'Determined to escape the
blare of Broadway, Ralph G, Fa>

solitude in the perilous alkali des
ert wastes of Death Valley, and his
bones may now lie there bleaching
under the pitItess sun.”
While these shivery hues were be
ing written Mr. Farnum was pea--e
ably living with a tribe of Piute In

day and lying on a nice, soft blan
ket in an Indian hut. amply shaded
from the “pitiless sun.”

his disappearance, he appeared sur

of Now Jersey
! Why; how is this? sez you. gentle
' reader
Wc all are well aware < you con
tinue!—that heck is to pay in the
grand old party.
But neither former President
(Coolidge /you point out', nor Am
bassador Dawes, not yet Senator
Morrow is the type of ring-tailed
radical likely to appeal to the po
litical passions of the “consummate
demagogues" (you quote here from.
Representative Will P. Wood ot
Indiana' who are doing all the heck
'raising.
| In so saving you are V absolutely
correct, dear reader, but you are
correct only m so far as your state
ment actually goes, and you have
not finished everything there is to
be said cm the subject. Not by a
long shot.
Evidently, friend reader, you have
been getting your information from
some superficial correspondent who
has given you the impression that
the consummate demagogues” a
ione are dissatisfied with the way
things have been going in the G O
P. of late—or for quite awhile pre
viously. for that matter.
One item is certain.
The ‘consummate demagogues’
will not gam control of the repub
lican organization—not by 1932 any-,
.way. or anywhere nearly as soon as >
that.
They may launch a third party
movement.
If they do. it may result In split
ting both big parties and two brand
new parties may be the final out
come of the ruction; or both major;
parties may go on the rocks and all:
hands have to take to a Jot of lit
tle ‘'blocs" to save themselves.
But as far ahead as 1932 /not
to mention considerably later i.
there will continue to be a C O- P
national committee in first-class
running order.
The vital question is •
Who will be running n during the j
first half of 1932, as the situation'
shapes itself for and Culminates in
that year's republican national con
vention? \
Not the “consummate demogog
Ues?" That's a cinch. There are hot
enough of them
Nevertheless, there is a fight fori
the job.
The fact is, there are two con
servative groups in the G, O P.
One is the now dominant croup
dominant in the white house and
dominant m the Barr budding on
Farragut square. Washington, T> C.j
where the national committee holds
forth.
■No. 2 Is the group, once domi
nant. which passed into eclipse
when President Coolidge moved in
to the executive mansion.
Thus the old timers of group No.
2 had to make the best of the
Northhamptoman and gradually
they grew to like him. He could
have had another four years, so far
as they were concerned, had he
chosen to run again.
Emphatically, however they ob
jected to Mr. Hoover.
One may ask
Did it not occur to them that they
might get over their objection to
him?—just as they had outgrown
their objection to Mr, Coolidge
No. it did not, and their failure
to think of it was Tio mere accident.
Firs Impression,
After all. the old timers* objection
to Mr. Coolidge was not deep-seat
ed. It was akin to the hostility a
subordinate often feels, for awhile,
toward a rather grouchy new boss,
following an exrtemely amiable
predecessor
Yet basically Mr. Coolidge and
the old timers were congenial poli
ticians. They simply needed to get
acquainted.
But Mr, Hoover is hot a politician
and neither are the associates lie
gathers about him. At any rate,
they are not the old timers’ kind of
politicians The old timers sensed
unerringly that they, were not. go
ing to get on harmoniously with Mr.
Hoover or his friends, and they
never have ana they liever will.
As we know, Mr. Hoover won de
spite the old timers.
Today they are no more friendly
toward him than they were at Kan
sas City, thought, of course, they
cannot admit it.
Until recently they have not dar
ed to hope that they would be able
to do anything about it in 1932,'
either. The party machine twhich:
is to say. the national committee),
functions as obediently at Mr. I
Hoover's behest as Mr. , CooHtlge's;
did tor the.latter. If it is still doing
so a year and a half hence, the old*
timers agree that it will renominate
Mr. Hoover with equal certainty
But suppose, through no overt i
act by the old timers, but solely as
a result of the “consummate dema-,
gogues' ” howling, his hand-made j
committee becomes so unpopular;
that Mr, Hoover has to start mak
ing changes in it
Even suppose the old timers
should get a few of their own ex
perts in—to do a little tinkering'
with delegations and the like.
To be surp, the idea is highly
speculative.
Yet it is odd that, at. this par
ticular juncture, there should be
such a recrudescence of presidential
hints relative to ex-President Cool
idge. General Dawes and Senator
Morrow—just, as one Would have

Babe Carr Gets
Decision Here
! Spangler I'uls I p tiamc Fight t o
<io Full Ten Rounds
With Carr.
Babe Carr, the smiling boy
with a punch in both hands, is
still lightweight champion of
Shelby and surrounding parts by
virtue of his victory here Sat
urday night over Jerome Span
gler. But the latter, due to his
pluck, in the 10-round bout won
by Carr on a decision, is more
popular than ever.
From the outset the smiling
Babe had the advantage in sev
eral ways, lie had the reach,
the experience, and the punch.
Those things are not side-step
ped except by lurkv blows. But
from the beginning Spangler
stepped in and swapped blows.
He was still doing his best to
trade licks when the bout ended
although he was groggy from
kissing the canvas several times.
Carr revealed great improve
ment in his ring methods since
he last appeared here.
