PENROSE WISE BEYOND HIS YEARS: — Those who hastily, and quite with-; 11 out warrant, concluded that its re- ( cent overwhelming defeat meant tin- ! i death of the Democratic party must : have been somewhat startled by the ’ 1 remarks of the Hon. Boies Penrose. who is something of a politician. ( Whether all will agree that the elee- i tion was a defeat solely for what 1 Senator Penrose was pleased to call | ’ ilsonisni.” and not for the Demo ; ( cratic party as such, most careful ob-; ; servers will admit that the conditions ; < were peculiar. Indeed they must ' have been to produce so extraordi-

nary a result. With the disappear J ame of the old issues—or old issue- - -there is no reason why the de-■ seated party should not put up' many another good fight. P.i the senator concludes that tho I Republican party must hereafter win,' not on the weakness of its adversary ' hut on its own strength. And that| iis an eminently sound view. It is I even possible that there may be a ■hange of about "Wilsonism.” There is nothing permanent about I the present situation —or in truth I about any situation. “It is well to | ri member,” says the Pennsylvania senator, "that there is an enormous majority in the state and nation due rot in any way to the successful candidates.” His conclusion is as follows: It is very easy, to my mind, to picture a situation where Democratic candidates for the senate and house could be successful; and where municip 1 and state officials could be defeated on other than a Republican I i-is. in fact, it is easy to mention 1 nators and representatives who. in the last election, never would have en the light of day on issues which they would have to meet in their respective states, but who were swept into office on the anti-Wilson land- ' slide. In other words, the Repub- i lican party must make good to hold , even a part of the power it now ( holds. i This feeling is finding its way

1 into the minds of many Republicans Jas they face the enormous responsibilities that now rest on them. On the other hand, there are many Democrats who are disposed to look on their banishment from power as a sort of vacation. The Democratic i party is likely to*be with us for quite ; a while, as is the Republcan party. This will bo the clearer the more nearly we approach to "normalcy.’*-!-Indianapolis News. It looks like another "deal from the bottom" had been made by Governor Goodrich in his efforts to keep ids promises to Phil Zoercher, a member of the state tax board. A mysterious entry has now been placed on the records at Indianapolis, dated December 4th and showing that Zoercher’s term expires January Sth. 1923, giving him two years. It was announced some time ago that Zoercher had been named for tout years but Mr. McCray immediately announced he wouldn’t stand for it and now this two year bluff is offered, no doubt with the idea in mind that half a loaf is better than none. While Zoercher is certainly putting up a great fight for bis job, is willing to swallow his politics and everything else, friends of the governorelect feel sure it will not work and that shortly after the change in January Mr. Zoercher will be returned to the quiet and private life. Those who believe they can beat the prohibition laws should be wise enough to know that with each suecepding week, month and year, this will be 'niJfe difficult. The local, state and federal officials will continue to draw around those who violate the laws such a net that escape will be impossible, yet we do not dohbt that men will be found

who 'either believe they are smooth enough to beat it or do not care for the results. It will be smoother if those who have “stills” fix them so they will keep still. It should be unnecessary to warn you any plainer. They are after you and the prohibition law is to be rigidly enforced. The officials can do nothing else than this, and will not. Albert Beveridge, avowed candidate for the republican nomination for senator in two years from now- is fighting to save the primary law. Harry New, present incumbent and also a candidate, is against it. In other words the fate of this law, whether good or bad, depends on the whim of a politician. If the law is good for the people, it ought to stand and if it's bad it ought to be scrapped. The success or failure of Beveridge or New should have nothing to do with it, but it ha ß und y° u will just have to make the best of it. A cargo of horses, the pick of the best herds of Idaho. Montana and Nevada, has been sent to China to improve the native stock of that coun, try.

For Holiday? Time W I” ■■ - J r ■■■ - & An unusually pretty breakfast cap is here offered as a suggestion for a gift. It is a spirited model made of taffeta silk and almost covered with crisp/ plaited frills of taffeta ribbon. Such a cap requires a crinoline support and a lining of thin silk. Pretty Ponder Bowls fl® \ ' '' ' A Pretty powder bowls and baskets are sure of a great vogue for Christmas gifts. The four pictured include a little basket covered with plaited silk, at the upper left, and Just below it the puff attached to its cover and ribbon-covered handle. A similar basket, at the right, is surmounted by a little ribbon-dressed doll —a disguised powder puff. At the lower left a glass bowl supports a puff holding a doll’s head and at the right a netcovered jar enthrones a Jap baby.
