American. "Words" Empty Words!" "Our moral leadership was lost when ambition sought to superimpose a reactionary theory of discredited autocracy upon the progressive principle of living, glowing democracy," No, this is not Sanscrit; it is not Choctaw. The words are of the English language, but the meaningless, almost ridiculous combination is from the brain of Warren G. Harding, the supine, viewless, front porch Republican candidate for President of the Uniteo States. Imagine the employment of such meaningless phrases in State documents, in international communications.

Just imagine, if it is humanly possible to do so, how they would compare with the plain, direct, unmistakable expression, the potent forc and the high sentiment of the State papers that have emanated from the White House during the past seven years. Compare them, also if possible, with the ringing, straight-from-the-shoulder, patriotic utterances of the Democratic candidate for President, James M. Cox of Ohio. By the plain facts the people will judge, and it is fortunate for the country that the manifest trend of public opinion today indicates that the meaningless word juggler, the machine candidate of the Old Guard, will not be called upon to serve as President of the United States.

Guest. The Democratic organs cannot be too severe (for the Sun and New York Herald's taste and acquiescence) in the condemnation and ridicule they are now bestowing on the phraseology of the so-called "official bulletins" of the money-raising attachment of the Republican National Committee. The fact remains that where Governor Cox does succeed in making a distinct impression on his audiences, independently of the truth or falsity of his stump arithmetic, is in his adroit use of the characteristic phrases which some genius at Republican headquarters seems to have been bent on providing for his urgent needs, ready made for the purposes of a red herring campaign. What a stroke of consummate Intelligence it was to cram the "official bulletins" of the drive bureau with such expressions as "Digging up the money" and "Boys, get the and "Get money quick!" and "Step on it!" and "Get the right man to see the right people!" and "Our readers are requested not to make this publication public" and a dor.en other gems of the advertising agent's "pep" or of the publicity promoter's bromides of persuasion or of the canned lingo of organized solicitation on an extensive scale! Had the Republican authority responsible for this damfoolishness no memory of historical politics, no sense of the quotable value to a political adversary of such verbal ammunition, however, innocent In its real significance?

AUGUST 31, 1920. Santa Fe, N. Aug. Village has invaded the far southwest. Tliis in no mere catchy sentence based on a few instances; it is a literal statement of fact.

In two or three New Mexico towns, and at large in the surrounding country, ther are probably more people of the type called Bohemian than anywhere else in the United States: exwpt in the vicinity of Washington Square in New York and that of 'looker Court, the home of the Dill Pickle Club, in Chicago, And these strangers have come boldly in their proper parts. They have not, to any considerable extent, taken protective coloration. Here are to be seen the short-haired women wearing saadals and faraway and the men with the long hair who dream the long dreams and paint the, pictures that look not like the scenery and write the poetry whereof the meaning ia known only to themselves and God. It would be unfair, however, to give the impression that the arty folk who have come here are all or even mostly dilettantes and eccentrics. Roth in Santa Fe and Taos are men and women of real achievement.

Mary Austin spent a winter here and wrote an excellent novel, and there are a dozen artists in the state of considerable attainment. One of the most interesting of these is Gustave Baumann who has with great success revived the little-known art of making color prints by hand from wood -cuts. He paints his pictures in water colors, makes a wooden plate for each color in the composition and prints perhajw a hundred copies, which are much in demand. But limits of space make it impossible to recount the separate achievements of the many artists who have found inspiration and congenial homes in this theoretically wild and uncouth country. The fact of the matter is that probably more of real artistic and intellectual life in proportion to the population is centered in northern New Mexico than anywhere ev ia the United States.

Boston is an intellectual fossil and New York is an intellectual prostitute. Chicago mak a flamboyant and self-conseious effort to i BE GREAT OF HEART. Be great of heart!

WHAT HE THOUGHT. The interviewer at the bedside of the The Republican managers are now asking the country to give them a signed blank check.

This is especially true in all that relates to international affairs. Senator Lodge, on Saturday, added his uncertain trumpet to that of Mr. -Harding. The political oracle of Massachusetts declared that it would be wrong for his party to make "any it would "do with the League Question seven months hence." Conditions are "changing every day," and what are Republican principles for except to change with them? "It may lie imfioflsible to ratify with reservations, said Senator Lodge. This is a dangerous word to use "ratify." The treaty, then, is not that ghastly corpse for which the Republicans have been demanding disinfectants and speedy burial.

Hiram Johnson will be interested in this coining to life of the dead. He mav accuse Mr. Ixxlge of being a body-snatcher. "It may lw best," continues" the Massachusetts Senator, "to enlarge and strengthen the reservations." But he will commit himself to nothing. Just trust him and his alWjsc fellow -Senators and dismiss every anxiety.

This Is straddling raised to the nth power. It is dodging erected into a great moral principle. It is indefiniteness made the Chief political virtue. But this cannot last out the campaign. The Republican Earty has got to answer yes or no to the eague.

It can't go rtn saying good Lord, good Devil. If its leader can't make up their mind, the people will make up theirs, in a way to show what they think of a party and a candidate that set out to win by balancing on a tight-rope stretched across Niagara. The Republican party really has not the figure to attempt that "act' It is too corpulent. It will either break the rope or topple off, one side or the other, into the angry cataract.

pjreha-d 27 crirri rsd Could ou bow for rvd.ur-.? 1. P. Y. R. Lessons of Two Octogenarians.

Samuel S. Adams and Lewis Zebley, of this city, aged 89 and 84 years, respectively, use tobacco generously and pooh-pooh the insistent claims of their fellow-octogenarian, Isaac Bflird, aged 89 years, that his long life and fine health arc due to fact that he never was a devotee of nico-t ine. So after all that "what is one man's meat is another man's poison" and is true, and the contrasting experiences of these three veterans, whose birthday anniversaries all occurred last week, is of little value as offering proof that tobacco either lengthens or shortens the -human span of life. One thing, however, that Mr. Adams did voice, and in which he is supported by the views of Mr.

Zebley is worthy of serious consideration; it is something rarely referred to by the vital, vigorous old men and women of the present day. It is this: That it is a mistake men and women make too often in giving up business and retiring to the chimney corner when they have reached three score and ten. "I thought I was old at 72." Mr. Adams is quoted as saying, "but the Lord knows I was nothing but a kid then." Mr. Zebley also affirms the views of his aged contemporary, and declares that Adams worked bard most of his life at boiler making; while the other octogenarian of the trio eased up before he was so far advanced in years.

Mr. Adams' message is important to the people of advancing years. One can understand that one of the most difficult of false beliefs to combat is that years are to be counted when one is considering if he has reached the end of his usefulness and is incapable of continuing his 'work, whatever it may be. The man who reaches 70 or 72, es was Mr. Adams' experience, usually accepts the world's estimate that he is old and necessarily has arrived at the end of his life of usefulness whereas he is often more capable at that age, by reason of his ripe experience, than he was at twenty-five or thirty.

So long, indeed, as one retains his physical health, he. is not old, no matter what the calendar tells him. He is not too old to go about his daily tasks, about the work he is accustomed to perform, for in it he finds the sustaining interest that keeps his mind active, bright and occupied with the pleasant things of daily life. We have innumerable instances of great achievements of men and women who had passed the three score-and-ten mark and who were guided by their riper experience or more exact knowledge. One may recall many Wilmington men who are past eighty and are still happily busy.

We may point to George Gray, who at eighty is constantly busy. Or there is General James H. Wilson, who, though retired as a soldier, is active, alert and interested in everything about him. Joseph L. Carpenter, at ninety, is still active in his affairs as a financier, and Robert L.

Jones at 86, is still occupied in the management of his real estate and financial affairs and has declared that his long life is due largely to the fact that he has never stopped to sit down in easy slippers by the fire and cut off his outside interests and admit that he is an aged man. And so we will find, cut of the experience of all our men and women, of advanced years who are the happiest and most contented and most interesting companions, that they have always kept busy and maintained an interest in things about Is This a "Veiled Threat?" The Sussex Republican of Georgetown was among the influences that opposed the renomination of Representative Caleb II. and therefore among those who were deceived and defrauded when the Sussex county delegates to the State convention who had been elected to oppose Layton abandoned their opposition and consented to his renomination. In' its current issue it makes favorable mention of the respective nominees on the Republican State- ticket with the exception of Layton, whom it disposes of with the curt announcement: "Congressman Layton was renominated." But at the conclusion of its editorial the Sussex Republican refers somewhat vaguely to the address of Chairman Richards to the convention, in the course of which he warmly praised the administration of Governor Townsend and said he had "placed the Republican standard high above the political sordidness which influences some, and the Republicans should heed his truthful and prophetic words." Then the Sussex Republican adds: "This is a Republican year and every worthy and deserving nominee will undoubtedly receive the whole-hearted support of every Republican." From which it may naturally be inferred that in the opinion of this exponent of the majority faction of Sussex county Republicanism. Congressman Layton is not a "worthy and deserving nominee," and assuredly will not "receive the wholehearted support of every Republican." cultured, and certainly some good things come out of its slums and alleys, but Pork thereits somewhat heavily on Poetry.

But in the main the artixts and writers who com here sincere folk who are trying to get awty from the noise and strain and grd-nro-voking atmosphere of the cities, and to find a new inspiration.

It lh hard to cv vourself up unreservedly to dr'-nnri of beauty whirh probably will prove unprofitable, when you are by people engaged in a desperate and fevensh hunt for money. But down here a Larg part 'of the population is Mexican, and the Mexicans refuse to get excited or hurry up. They impart an easy and leisurely tone to existence.

Even the grir.go feel this influence to some extent. Undoubtedly New Mexicans as a whole take iJe much more easily than New Yorkers. And the actual cost of decent living i not high here. You can have a cool and quiet room in an adobe ho-ose and a saddle pony and something to eat for an amount that would buy you only a precarious and sordid existence in one of our renters of so-called civilization. Here are none of the costly flehpots that so often induce the young intellectual aspirant in New York to become a high-priced hack of the big Eublishing enterprises.

The Nati.or.al "Vrr.rs.rr sys that there a Petrryura r.xzz.zrz Delaware Republicans Indorse League. After having declined to consider proposals from a committee of the Central Labor Union of this city for material for the Republican State platform, the Republican State Convention at Dover, last Tuesday, permitted the secretary of the committee to read the union's platform of principles on the convention floor. Among the labor declarations was the following: "The Treaty of Peace should be ratified at once, as we believe it has been the cause of great nnrest and unsettled conditions that hae under mined progress, industrially and financially." The platform of the CentTal Labor Union, including this indorsement of the Treaty of Peace and the League of Nations, was, on motion of Isaao It-Brown, "accepted" by the convention. Thus, Delaware Republicans are at variance with their candidate for President, who has repudiated the Treaty of Peace and the League of Nations completely. Really, conditions in the Republican campaign this year are ominously uncertain and disrupting.

Behind the Actor's Mask. The rapidly increasing number of divorces among moving picture actors and actresses is a source of regret to the public. The millions of people who frequent the picture theatres learn to know and to like the persons who appear upon the screen, and they love to imagine that in real life they are as good and true as in the characters they portray. They do not wish the mask torn away from their favorites by unpleasant announcements of domestic troubles. Whatever may be the cause of the high percentage of divorces among prominent "movie" stars, the fact is reacting unfavorably upon the profession.

When once a favorite actress appears in the divorce court, the old deception has gone, and she loses much of her power to charm. Per haps there is in the life of the actors something which tends to domestic unhap-piness, but the publ would like to imagine the frequency with which they have of late had recourse to the courts but a chance condition which is not apt to continue.

The ratification of the Equal Suffrage 'Amendment has opened or will open the doors of the Delaware courts to women lawyers, and we may see the temples of justice swarming with fair Portias in a few rears.

The fair sex'has hitherto been barred from practice in the courts cf this State on the ground that they were not citizens. Why not women lawyers? We have women doctors, and they are quite the equal in skill and in scientific equipmentcf men cf the profession. They have, however, been under the handio. of belief that being women, they therefore are hardly equal in fitness to their male fellow-doctors. And, too, we may have women officials, a woman judge or chief justice, or we may have a woman in the mayor's office; they are eligible also for service on the police force.

Who knows but some aspiring woman may seek election to the United States Senate or to the House cf Representatives, or what could be more likely than we shall have a woman governor established in the Dover capitol? So the possibilities of things to come almost daze one. To whatever office a woman may be sleeted don't let her election feminize the title of her pest. For instance, if she lhould be elected a head cf the State he would be a governor, not a governor-ess, nor would the be a sheriffess nor a judgess, jurt aa in later day usage the woman physician it a doctor, not a doctoress as she used to be designated in the days when women were almost unknown to the professions; her title Jhen was changed to fit the sex of the holder. Probably indeed, it is quite likely women will bring a higher degree of attainments and greater menjal capacity into public life than is to be found in any list of men politicians of today. If they will bring real brains and open minds, instead of a mental equipment doped by partisanship they will be doing much in return for the vote.

We shall not expect hese new voters, should hey be elected to Congress, to follow the precedent of "Miss Congressman" F.ankin of Montana, the first of her sex in Congress, to burst into tears and flood the chamber with her weeping eyes should they be called to vote on going to war to punish the Hun for his assault upon the world. How many women will prefer a career at the bar or in politics, or in office to that cfgthe peaceful guidance and direction of the home is a question that no one can even guess intelligently about. Doubtless these women who today declare they fill not cast a ballot will find that under the new conditions, with a more than doubled electorate, they will disrera voting to be a duty not to be turned from aor rejected for vital issue will always be before the voters, even though often obscured by partisanship, to keep out the unfit seekers fcr office. Also, the suggestion cf women lawyers leads to the probability of "Negro lawyers. Heretofore the bar of Delaware, even under the long regime of the Republican party in this State, has been closed to Negro applicants, notwithstanding Negroes have been citizens for more than half a century.

This invidious discrimination can be safely followed in Delaware, where Negroes solidly vote the Republican ticket right along, no matter what contumely may be visited upon them. But with women admitted to the bar, it might be more difficult to brutally slam the door in the faces of intelligent and qualified Negro applicants. taire? C. A.

To be exact, it cost the government just $537,640 to publish the Congressional Record Last year. In 1917 the cost was but that was in war time, and everybody wanted to get on record as to his own conception of patriotism. What an actual waste that represents! The paper alone cost $130,000, and there were 455,130.450 pages printed. How many people in this country read even a single page? What actual benefit did the country at large receive from the expenditure.

HE GOETH BY ME, AND I SEE HIM NOT I From the dairyman's point of view there is other than the financial side. This is an exceptional cow, to be sure, but of her three latest calves, one has a record of 32 pounds of butter in a work, another 29.12 and the third 27.10. This is against her bt record of 34 pounds. It is worth some thing to know that cows can transmit their productive oualit.ies with some ecrtsintv. What our agricultural schools are teaching is how to breed and maintain cows of that quality.

Farm production of all sorts must in those days be speeded up and made dignity. In this country, too, is natural beauty, unspoiled and in great variety. The greater part of New Mexico rernains a wilderness because is not enough water in the state to convert it into anything else. In the east the artist who derives his inspiration from nature hunts diligently for unmarred bits of country, but here the part? that show any erfeet of artificial r-hange are few and" small, here is unlimited free to the feet ofmen. It is not hard to imaging how a man defeated and confused the complex life of cities might come out here and sit down under a tree and find himself.

WHERE THE PAST IS FRESKNT. No doubt the rich historical associations of the country have much to do with its charm for the creative mind. In most of America change has trampled back and forth across the cene in such a frenzied struggle that all trace of the past has been wiped out. But here the past, in a sense, lives side by side with the present. The Pueblo Indians still live almost as they did centuries ago, and the high-perched eiitT dwelling" of their pre-Columbian ancestors arc still here almost intact.

The life of the Spanish folk in many parts of the istate is unchanged, too. For those imaginations that like to roam backward through the year this country is rich in inspiration. It has become the favorite hunting ground of archaeologists, and it holds a great opportunity for the artit in words who can tell its long and varied story. For all of these reasons there is an unmistakable tendency toward the formation in New Mexico of a cultural center. The number of artists, writers and scientists who come here year by year increase, and still more significant is the growing numlwr of those who establish permanent homes here.

The buying of adobe house, many of them more than a century old, and refitting them a modern dwellings without changing their outward appearance, has become quite a local industry. Some charming effects and some startling ones have been produced. Here, for example, is the residence of a post-impressionist artist. From the outside it looks exactly like the home of a poor Aeepherder or woodcutter. But step inside the hallway, and you are met by wall3 tinted in violet and woodwork painted a midnight blue with the light filtered through violet curtains.

The history of New Mexico has boon one long costume party, from tho days of the early Spanish conquerors ho tailed and sweated across the deserts clad in glittering steel, down through the fringe! buckskin times of- the trappers and the cowboy epoch of silver spurs and bearskin chaps and wide sombreros. But many of these invaders have gone the historical natives several better.

Some of them find inclined to revive and po'fec the native costumes while, others hav, ideas of their own.

Hartford Times. PORTS AND THE NEW RATES. THE AUTO PERIL. Circumstances which ojerate in a fractional and infinitesimal way when applied upon a small scale are sometimes calculated to work revolutions as they apply upon the whole scale. This ia peculiarly true in the affair of railroad rate differentials as affecting the move Automobiles were responsible for 28 of the 68 accidents in the State last week, and 22 of the mishaps caused by autoists occurred in this city.

While the motor cars are responsible for more accidents than any other cause, there are doubtless more than three times more risks from automobiles than from almost all other causes combined, if the trolley cars be excepted. As there was only one trolley mishap, the fact may be tajcen as evidence that with careful driving and at less speed the automobile accidents here might be greatly reduced. Who knows His name? Himself hth written it In radiant light against an awful sky, Where bleaching sands their changing forces pit Against the towering waves that swell and die, In crystal snow, in globes of dew and rain A Name is there, but who can read it plain? Thunders and lightnings pass mo by; no length Of human wisdom fathoms their design; Seeds fall and dream themselves into the strength, The soaring peace, of steadfast oak and pine. A flash! and living light has felle'd their pride! His Sign was here, but He where docs He hide? When Greed and Malice wage their wasteful war Within the frail and foolish' hearts of men, And, somehow, latent Good comes to the fore, And Truth, unconquered, mounts her throne again, Here, too, He passed, and made His fresence felt, men had asked with tears where Justice dwelt! His truth found voice when waking souls emerged From inarticulate, unthinking state; Hie wisdom through their ignorances surged And led their strivings to a worthy fate; Truth-Wisdom Guidance; these His Will proclaim- These are but letters of His mystic Name!

H. B. Loderman and family, of St. Louie, are to be congratulated for the nice sense of discrimination that has brought them to Lewes for the forty-fifth consecutive summer to spend the hot months. No other spot on the Atlantic is more restf ul than LeweB nor are the people elsewhere bo hospitable in welcoming visitors that tRey return again and again, almost for half a century.

Women in North Carolina, like the early bird, are catching the official worm. One has just been reappointed notary public at Asheville, after having been turned down five years ago on the ground that women were not constitutionally eligible for office in the State. The new voters seem to need no special instruction in office-seeking. If "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast," and the sad heart, as we are told it has, the formation of song classes in the workhouse and reformatory should be encouraged in every way. Melody, as manifested through the human voice, truly brightens the lives of everyone who hears it or who shares in its creation.

Many port cities Atlantic ports and gulf ports are figuring intensively on the question as to what extent the new rates wilf bejjkely to determine changes in the overland trend of wheat, corn and other products that are exported in shipload Cargoes. There is the belief in Kansas City on the part of wheat and flour exjwrters, according to a recently published statement, that the new rates are calculated to favor export grain and flour movements from the Central and Southwest regions by way of xNew Orleans and Galveston instead of through Baltimore and other grain ports on the Esistern Coast, It is to be remarked that under the old fates and extending back.

for a decade or so, New Orleans, in particular, had been getting a very large share of the export ia Nat Goodwin, who made a fortune on the stage, died "broke," the newspapers report. No wonder; he was married seven times, paid for six divorces with accompanying alimony, and bought and operated a "salted" gold mine. It is not surprising bis executors found thousands of kllars in millinery bills and only worth less mining to pay them with. Even John D. would have gone to the Caancial mat under such stress.
