House, political adviser to President Wilson during the greater part of his administra tion, yesterday declared his prefer ence for Franklin D. Roosevelt as the Democratic party's next presi dential candidate. ' House, who arrived recently for his 36th summer here, described Roosevelt as "the most able avail able candidate." "if nominated, he'd be elected," the colonel said. He said he also thought well of Newton D. Baker, secretary of War under Wilson, and asserted he had the greatest ad miration for former governor Alfred Ei Smith, "I was sorry the people didn't elect Smith' the last time," he declared. "I am very fond of Gpvernor Roosevelt. We are friends of 20 years. We see a great deol of each other and I agree with him on many of the Issues of the day, including the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill and the need for reducing its schedules." Asked If he had ever discussed the matter of the New York governor's prospects with him directly, House said he preferred not to answer. f- Ho had "no notion' what part, if any, he would take In an active way to promoto either Roosevelt's candi dacy or his election in event of nomi nation. "I have not been In good health for several years," he said, "and I don't know what I may do." Roosevelt, like House, was identi fied with the Wilson administration, serving two terms as assistant sec retary of the navy. House, who never held political office, was active In both Wilson campaigns. You can't accuse a symphony con ductor of being high hat because he puts on arias. MISSOURI! MM tuws the '-OVVlLL SNY If -AND AMD ' ' r Co ve Hill Billy Talks Qnce Again On Government Continued From Page One) cms all else In nature. For man Is of nature like . everything else though highest In evolution. I cannot con ceive' two:flaws two Gods, one for everything else but man. .and one higher laiv, & higher God for man only.- Arid' yet, this: is Just exactly what man ' has inaugurated ages gone byr 4nd all of his many forms of governments have failed. And, the real jlaw the real government that rule.'-all else never falls it is eternal. - ". .. These 'failures of man's govern ments to govern aright are the cause of all the afflictions that seem to affect mankind. It Is the objectivi ties of that conflict .between the higher and that man made rule that is felt In the form, of .distress . and sorrows, afflictions of all" sorts disasters which plunge nations al most into despair. Yet all these that we humans can see and experience are nothing to compare with the greater invisible - struggle that is taking place the higher law of na-i ture God Himself righting and har- monizlng whatever man has de spoiled. The 'forming of a good government Is only a matter of right and wrong. The good' -government will obey follow the higher -law. The '. wrong government is that government which refuses to obey to follow the higher law.' For in reality there are no two governments. The explana tion is there is only the one exist ing law and that is the law of .God, if we please to so call It. The wrong government or law of man is nonr existing it is the refusal to follow it is the absence of the light which causes darkness. So It is the absence of that law which causes man to go wrong. : The greatest question in the minds of men Is and has ever been: "Which is right, and which Is wrong?" Yet?, this answers itself. Everything there is must be right. Can anyone con ceive of the law, the Power behind it all God to be wrong? No other conclusion can be attained than that it is absolutely right. Then it cannot of possibility have formed anything that Is wrong. Man in his desire to disobey and by his dis obedience forms the only foundation for asking the question. All else is right outside of man's refusal to follow the law and government of his Maker. ( To be concluded.)

They left this valley a year ago. - i To Take Horses One of the most fascinating ex hibits during the livestock show last year was the six horse team which Willis Moss of Moss chapel had there. Mr. Moss plans to have his team there again this year and Mr. uaK is now at tne Moss home get ting the horses in shsape. Have Vacation School Under the supervision of County 5 una ay icnooi .missionary ana Mrs. Howard Smith the daily vacation Bible schools, which are held in dif ferent localities over thp county, have been started. The first school Bv Blower By Cowan is being held at the lower Cove school, with Mrs. 8mlth and Miss Dorothy Bmutz, of the sldehlll road.

After h program of the morning the chil dren, their parents and other people living In tf-at district are driving to Cove where they will have a big pic nic dinner and an afternoon at the swimming pool. Deer Visits J. Newton Fisher was all eyes Wednesday because of a deer which had been bold enough, or tame enough, to oome up very close to the dairy . bard on the Fisher place on the Cove Wghway. Mr. Fisher saw the pretty creature first and called the other members of the family who had good looks at It before It disappeared. 1 " '' ' ' Gets Bnhv Chick Mrs. John Dean, of lower .

He has a fine new riding horse, which ac commodates him so much better now than does old "Archie." the family Shetland pony which Is now reputed to umpty steen years old. Edmund's horse Is a pretty sorrel and be has named him "Pancy," and we think that a dandy, fine name. pn Fishinc Expedition Mr. and Mrs. W. A.

Wo understand they caught the- fish and that the day was an enjoyable one for . all: Ac companying Mr. and Mrs. Long was their son, Lawrence, who, it will be remembered, was laid l" with a broken leg. He is much better, the leg is getting stronger all the time, and -lie can get around quite' well. ; lintel Is Sold ' The Farmers hotel at Enterprise has been sold by j. D.

Have lHrnlc The beautiful Austrian copper rose on the lawn about the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Miller, on the edge of Union, is at Its most wonderful stage right now and it is worth a drive to Union to see. In fact, the entire Miller lawn is most beautiful right now. Yesterday it was especially so, we thought, for the Millers had thrown their place open to the -Sun day school of the Methodist church for their annual picnic. There was large crowd assembled on tne lawn and air had a very happy time, according to reports.

I'OIUTCiUESE .VHtmH WI.N .VOTE LISBON W) Portuguese women have been given the right to vote in municipal elections, but leading feminists say their victory ; will not be complete until the franchise is extended 'to parliamentary ballots. In Washington My Herbert lMummor WASHINGTON French, long the official language of diplomacy,' Is fast giving way to English, among foreign diplomats In Washington. : ' And it Is largoly because the cap ital today is considered one of the outstanding diploma tic centers of the world. Another reason Is that so few Americans speak any foreign lan guage sufficiently well to cope with the twists and turns in diplomatic dealings. Time was before the world war when foreign governments did not consider it necessary for their5 am bassadors, ministers and attaches as- English. A knowledge of French, per- haps Germon, and their own. native language was enough, There was. for exnmnli. tho mt. ,eran Dr. Hernan Velarde, until a short while ago Peru's ambassador to Wash ington. He remained long enough to uetumu ueun oi me diplomatic corps but he never learned to speak Eng lish. : Turkish Envoy Alone At the present the Turkish ambas sador, Ahmet Muhtar, 'uses French exclusively in addition to his own language. But he is the only envoy who does so. In all of Ambassador Mahtar's dealings with the state de partment and members of the corps he employs French. Other diplomats are almost as fa miliar withEnglish as they are with their own language, . Viscount D'Alte, the Portuguese minister,, who has presided over hla country's, .legation in Washington since May 1, 1902. perhaps speaks tho most nearly perfect .English of the non-English members of the corps. And the Chinese minister, Wu; the Hungarian minister, Count Szechcn yi, and Freyrey Santander, Peru's ambassador, all speak English without accent, each having spent consider able time in England.' Among the staffs of the non-English-speaking diplomatic missions there are several who speak almost flawless English. Parleys In English Dr. O. C. Kelp, counselor for the German embassy, and Stanlslaw Lep kowski, of the Polish legation, are about tied for first place in this group. Yung Kwai of the Chinese legation is another. Germany now requires its foreign service men to speak, read and write German. French and English before assignment to foreign countries. Meetings of the diplomatic corps, presided over by Ambassador Tellez. of Mexico, now are held in English. For many years, however, the meet ings were conducted In both French and English, with about one-half the members hot knowing what the other half was talking about. Several of the diplomats are lan guage experts. Some speak five or six different languages. Cuba's ambassa dor, Ferrara, for Instance, is profic ient Jn Italian, Spanish, French, Eng lish, German and has a fair knowl edge of several others. $8S$$$$$$$j Baseball Standings By the Associated Press COAST I.KACil K W.
