The Democratic party Is looking for
means whereby to oust Republicanism
from the public crib. and. nobody has
thought of giving the men something
mysterious, and the women something
to cry about.

TO THE ADMIRERS of ex-President Wilson, his occassional ex
hibitions of sinalliH'ss, always come as a distinct shock.
It is difficult to believe that a man who eaa be, and has been, so
bit; in some nays, can be so small in others.
In his refusal to commend President Harding's advocacy of the
Tnited States entering the World Cpurt, his insistence on uncondi
tional entrance, and his uncompromising preference for the League of
Nations, Mr.' Wilson, again demonstrates that peculiar narrowness,
that cold unyielding pride of opinion, which during his administra
tion was his greatest, and in the final analysis his fatal fault.
In taking this stand President Harding is aligning himself with
the pro-League forces, and is breaking finally with the Irreeoncilible
l!loe. ' Politically he is eertaiu to suffer for this action. Members
of his own party are already planning to fight his reuomination be
cause of this stand.
Under the circumstances a great opportunity was presented to the
former Democratic President, to show that he can forget past dif
ferences, overlook minor political antagonisms, drop personal con
siderations, and join, even with a former political antagonist, when a
genuine principle is at stake.
Hut in his public announcement, no spirit of this sort is even sug
gested. Mr. Wilson gives no commendation whatever. lie flatly op
poses the Harding program because it fails to go as far as ho him
self would go. With cold irony he suggests that the United States
should exhibit what he terms the spirit of honorable action, and in
his mind honorable action and unqualified endorsement of the League
of Nations are synonymous.
It is really too bad. There is in America today, great sympathy
for President Wilson, there is, we believe, more faith in his original
brand of idealism, than most people suppose, but this persistent re
fusal to make any allowances, to be not only more practical but more
human, alienates thousands of people, who would otherwise be his
supporters and friends.

team will defend the international
trophy donated by George H. Walker
of St. Louis.
The last minute loss of Chirk Evans
of Chicago, former national cham-(

cause of pressure of business was a
severe one to the team. His place
will be filled by either Jack Neville of
San Francisco or .Guy Standiffer of

Absence made San Francisco's
heart grow fonder of Elsie Ferguson,
for her engagement at the Columbia
theatre, where she is appearing in
"The Wheel of Life," has been a suc
cession of crowding houses.
She comes back even lovelier than
ever, if that were possible, and show
ing strides in her art that place her
among the best of our "younger act
resses. Her play has an especial
appeal to women. San Francisco
Chronicle.
At the Rialto
Priscllla Dean comes to the Rialto
tomorrow in "The Flame of Life."
'Miss Dean's interpretation of the
role of Joan Lowric is one of the best
of her career. One moment she is a
fiery. Independent girl, lighting a fel
low worker in defense of a weaker
friend. Another, she is a wistful wom
an toiling with a reading lesson, dar
ing to try "to learn to be a lady."
Again one sees her dashing down into
the depths of a flaming coal mine, in
her attempt to rescue her employer,
whom she loves.
Picturesque English scenery forms
a striking background. Romance,
thrills, tragedy and an Intense Inter
est hold one throughout the picture.
One follows the life and love of Joan
with a feeling almost personal.
"Good Men and True," adapted from
Eugene Manlove Rhodes' stirring
novel of the plains is showing at the
Rialto theatre for the last time tonight

The critics choose the world-beaters now, but the common folks
who compose posterity will pick the immortals.
If you wish to know what you shouldn't do, and haven't a Bible
just read the front-page headlines.
. As a rule, a man loves his wife more and more as the conviction
grows that he is too old and dull and bald to interest other ladies.
There will always be need of censors while there are authors who
would rather be prosperous than decent.
The obligation to respect law falls upon all citizens, even those
who get a salary for enforcing it.
Correct this sentence: "My garden is planted," said the man.
' and I won't let a weed appear in it all summer."
The reason national prune week failed was because so many prom
inent prunes didn't even know it was being celebrated.
Still, there is a lot of good Americanism out in the districts where
pajamas still are considered rather effeminate.
A-lot of people think they are democratic just because they have
a grudge against people who are" rich and people who amount to
something.

THE GRUMBLER.
O AID Thomas Tinhorn Tinner, when he aat down to eat. "This
vJ isa cheap-johu dinner you 've over done the meat ; the spuds
are burned and smoking, and call for tears not joking; no won
der I'm invoking the saered name of Pete." This delegate for
ever is saying caustic things; he seems to think it clever to hand
out words with stings; no words of praise he'll utter, no compli
ments he'll mutter; he knocks the primes and butter, with fierce
and ugly flings. His wife, when fche was younger, in cooking
well took pride; and he'd assauge hjs hunger, and fill his works
inside; he'd face a meal and grab it but he'd acquired the habit
of roaring like a rabbit, and scowling, sullen-eyed. If man is
always chiding, his wife will lose ht-r teal; she tires of his derid
ing, she loathes his grouchy spiel; the anger in her quickens she
mutters, "Why the dickens shouM I boil eels and chickens, to
give the grouch a meal 1" I say to) my Aunt Alice, who cooks my
pone and tea, "No monarch in his palace has got the edge on me;
my nerves with rnpture quiver, new pleasures I diskiver,
whene'er you fry the liver, and. bake the muffins three." My
aunt is always trying to think up something new, modern way
of frying a codfish ball or two; she's happy, since I praise her;
no scowl of mine dismays her, and with my safety" razor she stirs
a fragrant stew.

Says Rheumatism
Leaves You Forever
James H. Allen, of Congress
avenue, Rochester, X. Y. once a
rheumatic cripple, who discovered
ALLEXKHU and with it banished
every trace of uric acid and every
sipn of rheumatism from his body,
says that every druggist Ruarantees
a full pint bottle of ALLEN RHU to
show the way to complete recovery or
money back. 1
It relieves at once and immediately
after you start to. take ALLENRHL
the good work begins. It searches
out uric acid deposits, dissolves the
secretions and drives rheumatic
poison out of the body through the
kidneys and bowels. Even in cases
where suffering has been piteous,
and painful all traces of this dread
disease disappear Jn a few days. All
drucgista can supply you. Adv.

Portland. Ores "In my early
married life, after motherhood, I suf
fered a relapse and blood poisoning
set in. which left me a nervous wreck.
I was thin and weal: and my nerves
were in such a bad state that I could
not sleep. I went down in weight
from 140 to 90 pounds. I doctored
and took medicine and had begun to
think there was no help for me.
when I learned of Dr. Piercers Favor
ite Prescription. By using this medi
cine according to directions I was
completely relieved of all my ner
vousness nnd restored to perfect
health and since then whenever 1
have felt badly or In the need of a
tonic, I take the 'Favorite Prescrip
tion' and it builds me right up. I
found It especially good during the
critical time of life, it kept me in
good health. I would advise all
women who are weak and ailing to
take the Prescription so they may
enjoy good health." Mrs. S. Yates.
