PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER SCARCE.
Both of the great political parties of the country are
virtually without leaders big enough to lead them success
fully in the next presidential campaign. It is assumed
that President Wilson will retire at the end of this term
and there is no commanding personality to take his place.
Mr. McAdoo is barred almost by being the president's
son-in-law and apparently has definitely retired from
public life. He is the biggest and brainiest of the demo
cratic leaders next to Wilson. Below him there are gov
ernors and senators but scarcely any particular one who
towers above the crowd sufficiently to be turned to as
a national leader. Governor Cox, of Ohio, seems the most
promising of all these leaders at the present time.
In the republican organization the death of Colonel
Roosevelt, and the fact that former President Taft, is out
of harmony with his associates on the League of Nations
proposition leaves the party at sea, with many state lead
ers like Borah, Johnson and Cummins, former progres
sives, arrayed against the "old guard", led by Penrose,
Lodge, et al. Chairman Will Hays has been trying to
unite the party with some success but the schism over
the League of Nations seems to have undone much of
his work. Lack of a national leader of real strength and
ability is already lessening the hopes of success of the re'
publican party, which appeared extremely bright up to
six months ago.
Summed up, with Bryan out of politics, Roosevelt
dead, Taft operating as a political free-lance and Wilson
soon to retire to private life, there exists the greatest
dearth 01 real statesmen ana strong political leaaers in
the history of the nation. The situation is noticeable
particularly by the absence of presidential booms and the
fact that the newspapers, which usually line up in support
of favorite candidates long in advance of the elections are
mute as to presidential preferences. It looks like a race
in 1920 between two very dark horses with about even
chances of winning.
Salem may not be due for a boom this year, but its
growth is going to be so strong and substantial that a
great many poeple will get the mistaken idea that a boom
is on.
In spite of all the delights of hob-nobbing with royal
ty and living in palaces, and traveling in special trains
and being a public guest wherever he goes, President Wil
son is said to look back with regretful longing on a Euro
pean trip he made ten years ago on a bicycle. Even a
modest cycling tourist in Europe has to tip, but he gets
off easier.
When the president visited Rome, he was politely in
formed that it was the custom of visiting rulers to con
tribute $10,000 to a fund for the city's poor. Mr. Wilson,
in some embarrassment had to plead exemption from that
cheerful custom, because he was not authorized to make
any gifts in behalf of the United States government, and
he could not afford to pay the money out of his own
pocket. He had similar experiences in other cities.
The gratuities the president is obliged to pay for or
dinary personal services come high enough. On his last
trip they are said to have averaged $1000 a month. Every
where at palaces, hotels, private homes and in railway
trains there are servitors with extended palms, taught by
traveling royalty to expect princely fees, seeing no reason
why the head of the richest nation oh earth should not
be as liberal as European sovereigns. The president of
- France scatters money about with reckless abandon he
gave the Czar s servants $20,000 when he visited Petra
grad, and gave $10,000 to the household of the king of
Sweden. France supplied the money.
It is one of the penalties of American democracy that
our president cannot do that sort of thing. It is so un
American in spirit that the American people would hard
ly sanction any provision for it. And they are probably
right about it. It is a good thing for the flunkeys of
European courts to learn that a man may wield the great
est power in the world and yet be a comparatively poor
man, compelled to practice the thrift of a merely well-to-do
private citizen.

BATHS FOR BOLSHEVIKS.
The current rumor that Governor Olcott will not
shake up the office-holding element of the state is good
news to everybodyexcept the plain people.
The German statesmen have joined those thirty-seven
senators in their fight on the League of Nations. It is in
all respects an unholy alliance.
Never did an American congress start better and
finish worse than the last one.

RIPPLING RHYMES
By Walt Mascn
It has been stated frequently of late that Bolshevism
was the worst type of autocracy, and now there is proof
that is so.
The Bolshevik regime in Moscow has divided the
people into three classes: those who bathe twice a month,
those who bathe once a month, and those who never bathe
at all.
Talk about class distinction! No autocracy ever
equalled it. It is manifestly impossible for one who wishes
'to be in the very best oder as a Bolshevik to bathe, and
here the Red Rulers are condemning their associates to
as high as two baths a month. '
There is only one consolation. The indignant washed
may rise, and in their wrath condemn the others to a
dreadful death hy drowning for instance and so event
ually Bolshevism, at last revealed in all its crafty power,
may bring about its own demise.
Alas! There is no freedom. Behold the Bolshevik
gone drunk with the sight of water-power!

RESILIENT.
It is good we're so elastic, for it helps us play the
ame; not a grief can be so drastic that we can't forget
the same. I have half a ton of sorrow bearing down, to
day, on me ; but, 'by ten o'clock tomorrow I'll be happy as
can be. It's our nature to be joyous, to indulge in mirth
and song. Sometimes we announce, in sadness, that we'll
never smile again; we have said farewell to gladness in
this grim gray world of men. Woe has got us by the
ringlets, grief has soaked into our bones; we're as dour
as any kinglets who've been chivied from their thrones.
"Let us talk of tombs," we mutter; "let's discourse of epi
taphs; for there are no jokes to utter, and there's no ex
cuse for laughs." But the next day we are grinning in
the old time cheerful style; and there's naught on earth
so winning as our large flamboyant smile. It's our nature
to be cheeiy, to believe that grief is vain; when the times
are dark and dreary, it is all that keeps us sane.

"When I finished taking my first
bottle of Tanlac I couldn't see much
improvement in my condition, but, If
I had given it up at that time it would
have heen tho mistake of my life,"
said John H. Shipley of 1203 Sanehea
street, San Francisco,
"It has certainly paid me well," he
continued, "to stick to Tanlac, for a
few bottles have done me more real
good than everything else I hav tk-
en combined, and I have spent a small
fortune trying to get relief. I have
suffered from stomach trouble for
twenty five years and had despaired
of ever getting well until Tacitus com
menced to put me in shape. I used to
have my worst, trouble about three or
four hours after eating when I would
have have a siekish feeling through
my stomach and such fearful pains
about my liver that I could hardly
stand it. One said I had gall stones
and would never recover without an
operation. I then had an X-ry exami
nation and was told it was my liver
that caused my trouble and, so it went
on, one saying one thing and one an
other. In the meantime I was put on a
diet of cereals and toast, and from
that to a milk diet. For six solid weeks
before I began taking Tanlae I never
had a bite of any kind of food just
drank milt and was literally starv
ing, but the dieting did no good and I
gradually got worse. I was also trou
bled with constipation. There has been
months at a time when I was nnabla
to work and one time I was laid up
for a whole year.
"So things- rocked along until a
friend of mine talked me into trvinff
Tanlac. When I started on this medi
cine I weighed only one hundred and
niteen pounds had dropped off from
me hundred and fifty two so you can
imagine what a dreadful condition I
was in. Well, my first bottle of Tan
lac never helped me any that I could
tell but I couldn't afford to condemn
a medicine so many people said had
helped them, so I kept on taking it
and am certainly glad I did for it s
really and truly made me feel like a
new man. I never felt any great im

by that time I was weighing one hun
