WILLIAM G. McADOO
Th» withdrawal from thi list
of presidential prospects by \
\\ ; liain Gibbs McAdoo shows;
that either he1 is very smart or]
is willing to put aside his per-
sonal ambitions for the good |
of his party, or that he has no
use for A1 Smith, and perhaps!
all three.
There is no denying that
McAdoo has been keen lor the
Democratic nonination for the
president y for several years, |
and there also is no denying
that he is one of the ablest [
nun within the ranks of the;
Democratic party. But unfor-
tunately, he was the son-in-law {
of a former president, the late j
Woodrow Wilson, Mid this
coupled with his Ku Klux Klan
affiliations, made it impossible,
for him to receive two-thirds
vote for the nomination. He
was licked three years ago, and
he certainly would be defeated
again next year. However, he
could put up a strong battle.
The democratic party has
been split up into two factions
by McAdoo and A1 Smith.
Mark Sullivan, who is a first
class political prognosticator,
states in today’s papers that
Smith may have a clear field
for the nomination with Mc-
Adoo out of the way, hut the
chances are that McAdoo’sre-’
tirement also will bring abouf
Smith’s withdrawal. At least,
it affords the opponents of
Sn ith a strong talking point.
The Democrats are still in a
tight place. Smith is doubt-
less the strongest individual
within the party, but his nom-
nation would serve only to split
tlie party, while it is unlikely
that any other candidate could
make much headway against
the Republican steam-roller
1 ine-up.—Bryan Eagle.
NO I II RONE FOR EINDY
This story conies from Abi-
lent by Associated Press;
Charles A Lindbergh, the
man who has walked with
three kings, refused to sit on
a throne upon his arrival here
today.
It happened like this:
Eindy stepped out of the
“Spirit of St. Louis” at tid'd a.
m., one minute after the slim
gray trans-Atlantic plane came
to its berth in a wired-off en-
closure of Kingsolving Field,
lie walked between a lane of
soldiers standing at attention
and flanked by a cheering
crowd, and came to a stop be-
fore a waiting car.
The hack seat of the car con-
tained a velvet and flag drap-
ed chair—for Eindy to sit in.
It was. all the world, a throne.
Lindy looked at it, and the
points of his high cheek bones
turned red. He was painfully
embarrassed as he leaned down
to speak to Mrs. Dan Moody,
wife of the governor.
"Please.” he said—and the
rest was lost amid the blare of
band music and tumult of
shouting.
"I beg your pardon,” Mrs.
Moody inquired.
"Please,” he repeated, “1
wo ,ld much rather not ride up
there. 1 would appreciate it if
you would let me ride on the
back seat with you.”
Willing but rough hands
took hold of the velvet draped
chair. When it resisted crow-
bars were used. It was jerk-
ed out of the toneau and pitch-
ed out on the ground. The flag,
however, was carefully re-
trieved and draped over the
hack of the car.
Mrs. Moody started to en-
ter the front seat beside the
driver, L. E. Derrberry, but
Eindy touched her on ihe arm.
"If you don’t mind, I would
rather have you ride back here
with me,” he suggested. Mrs.
Moody entered the car, Lindy
followed, taking the left side.

A little wholesome jazz

metropolis would help us all
on our way.
The Freestone County Tele-
phone Company has been tak-
en over by a corporation that
rs buying up exchanges in dif-
ferent parts of the state and
placing under one manage-
ment. S. ,1. Bennett has been
employed as manager in the
state, and says that he hopes
to be able to permanently lo-
cate the general headquarter--
in Fairfield. This would add 1
much to the town as it would;
necessitate a number of em-
ployes, and Fairfield can well!
afford to encourage the loca-j
lion of this general office here.
The rainfall this week comes
it. a very opportune time for
planting turnip patches and
cover crops. Do not neglect
the winter grazing crop. It is
beneficial to stock, necessary
for poultry and protects the
land.

That the people know the
business that advertises sells

no good ; it tears it down.

It costs a man a lot to live up
to his Kleins. That’s tlie reas-
on many a man cant afford to
get married. Kerens Eagle.
The fellow who is a "good j
mixer” with the crowds has u
commendable talent. But il
is a talent that can be used too
extensively. Making friends
is out thing—keeping them is
another. Il is better to have
a few loyal friends than many
so-called friends whose loyalty
is questionable and uncertain.
Messis. Johnson and Pressly
living on the Talley farm,
north of town, sold that place
this week to Noah Weaver.
We did not learn whether they
would move from our midst or
not, but hope they will remain,
as they have made many
friends while here, and are
good substantial citizens.
When the town and country
get together and understand
each other and appreciate
each other’s difficulties, East
Texas will have gone a long
way toward achieving that
solidification which is necessary
if the section is to progress ap-
preciably. And considerably
advance has already been
made.—"East Texas” Maga-
zine.

Don H. Riggers ought to
have lots of fun out of run-
ning for the Senate. He says
himself in his announcement
that he doesn’t want to win and
doesn’t expect to. On that plat-
form he ought to be able to be
as frank as his vocabulary will
permit and as forceful as the
libel laws allow.
Imagine a candidate who
can afford to say to his fellow-
citizens that his throat is sore
arid he isn’t, glad to be there,
especially as the assemblage is
small and looks like an aggre-
gation of boobs anyway, but
that he might as well release
his verbiage to the insentirjent
atmosphere there as anywhere
else. Picture a figure on the
hustings who can denounce
everything and promise noth-
ing. Fancy an applicant for
office who can neglect local
at rangements, kick a long-
winded introductionist off the
stage and start when he gets
ready with his own speech.
Mr. Riggers challenges the
absurdity that a man’s want
of chances to win, or his sup-
posed lack in that regard, can
have anything to do with his
moral claim to the suffrage of
his fellow-citizens. He offers
himself as a voice crying in
what he considers to be the
wilderness. It may be that Mr.
Riggers himself is lost therein.
Rut he hasn’t lost his voice.—

The Fairfield Recorder says
“The wicked flee when no man
pursueth,” in telling about ad-
apting such a course when it
I was believed by Editor Kirgan
that he had stepped on the
feelings of an occasional visit-
or to Fairfield. In many in-
stances tin* wicked flee when
not pursued, and occasionally
the just use their better judg-
ment and flee when not pur-
sued. and live to tell all about
it. For us. just and upright as
we are, we’d rather all nine of
our friends would say “There
! he goes” than "Don’t he look
natural?”—Bcdton Journal.
Love is a dangerous thing,
when it is given too much at-
tention. It’s all right for a man
i to love, but he should watch
and think as well as love. A
Denver man took his best girl
out for a ride. The car stop-
ped on the roadside while the
loving pair repeated to each
other, time and time again, the
sweetest story ever told. Rut
while the two souls with a
single thought were declaring
their undying love, thieves slip-
ped up behind, jacked up the
auto and stole both rear tires.
The young lover didn’t miss
his tires until he got out to start
his car.—Honey Grove Signal.
