The Vice Presidential Handicap.Somehow the Vice Presidency has come to be considered by)

statesmen who make politics more or less a business, a steppingstone to political oblivion.

By the same reasoning it is assumed that only the hand of,death can elevate the incumbent to the honors and responsibilitiesof, leading the nation.

The recent cruel hoax perpetrated on Vice President Marshallhas served, however, to give him a more prominent place than heoccupied among the Presidential possibilities.

Theodore Roosevelt stands out among those who have ascendedfrom the Vice Presidency to the White House, although the deed!of an assassin made it possible. There were others, largely in early'history, who found the training in the lesser position a distinct aidto political preferment.

Qeorge Washington's running mate, John Adams, succeeded hischief in first place. In ths swaddling clothes' period of the nation'shistory the plan of political progression appeared to find favor.Thomas Jefferson served with Adams and was honored by election tothe higher office. Martin .Van Burcn was another who did not findthe Yicc Presidency a handicap to his further advancement.

On the other hand Vice Presidents have frequently aspired tostep up, but the national conventions have decreed otherwise andstifled their ambitions.

^\ ice President Marshall's friends, and they are not all confined

tot Indiana, are not disturbed by recent precedents in discussing his:possibilities. While he has forcnsic talents of no mean order, as pre-|siding officer of the Senate he has had no opportunity to use them to a

degree that would keep him prominently in the headlines. There are

many who attribute this failure of so many Vice Presidents to gohigher 10 the inability to participate in the debate and thus attain thecontinued publicity now deemed essential.

, AJJ ^in alL however, he has served with a forceful dignity and

lenity to the administration that might properly entitle him to con¬

sideration from «l)at quarter and his geographical residence is not ofthe kind to handicap.

It may be that \ ice President Marshall will shatter recent historyand make the Vice Presidential nomination more eagerly sought.

Technically we are at war. Technically the radical who doesanything against the peace and order of his country aids the enemy.What more does the Department of Justice desire?

Trotsky orders his troops to shoot those who fall back duringan attack. What a wonderful thing is Red liberty!

Combating Untruths.If Washington is to hold the prominence it deserves as a con¬

vention city some effective boosting is essential to offset the resultof destructive propaganda.

The Capital lost the national headquarters of the AmericanLegion and the 1920 convention largely because the District dele¬gates to the 1919 gathering could not offset the effect of muchdamaging misinformation, judiciously circulated. Other organiza¬tions contemplating national sessions here have rejected the city be-cause of similar reasons.

The Chamber of Commerce takes a practical and constructivestand in its movement to combat this campaign of deceit by thepresentation of plain facts.

The Capital is not the headquarters of profiteers and it hasadvantages over every other city in the United States as a con¬vention location, which cannot be denied. Other cities in their zestlor these gatherings have circulated unfounded reports that hotelsand rooming houses here charge an exorbitant price for rentals be¬yond the reach of the average pocketbook.

Of course these cities invariably magnify their own advantagesand it is only when delegates have suffered discomforts and in¬conveniences that they find out how empty these promises are Atthe recent Legion convention in Minneapolis delegates were chargedan exorbitant price and were herded three and four in a room

h it .I /.'"" b,<1 ?fnerous,y in for big conventions and thenb. k the delegates through a general increase all round in pricesTh,, ha5 become so general that the national conventions of thebig political parties now insist that the regular prices prevail in thestores and hotels otherwise the sessions will be held elsewhe're

This practice has never prevailed in Washington and the pre-°' "5 "d7ntages is so apparent that the National Capital

should be unrivalled as a convention city.In trying to overcome the false impression which other cities

have assiduously circulated, the Chamber of Commerce by the circulation of the truth is serving a useful purpose, both for the good01 the organization and the reputation of Washington.

By O. O. McIXTYRE.New York. Nov. 29..Down in one

of those rich looking, deep mahog¬any. extravagantly tapestried shop*on Fifth avenue they are displayingwomen's stockings for $2."jO a pair.And the/ are being sold with rareease to Christmas buyers. It is saidthat one famous theatrical "angel"purchased a dozen pair for his brightparticular star.Perfumery at |7T» a bottle is dis¬

played in those gorgeous perfumeryshops and at one quaint little men'shaberdashery silk neckties are goingat $12 ench. Any Fifth avenue sales¬men will tell you that the silk wormsare on strike. They have beentouched by the Bolshevik I atmo-sphere and practically blighted.thelittle dears. Consequently anythingwith silk is sky high.The Christma* rush Is already on.

The stores ate crowded and thecurbs are lined with those queer mis¬fits who peddle everything fromshimmying Teddy Bears to near-pearl necklaces In satin boxes.Manhattan is at its best around the

holiday season. At night the theatergoers In their handsome plumage fillthe streets. New highly coloredlights prick out against the nightsky. People rub elbows In the crushgood naturedly and even the trafficco»s smile.CTiristmas in a big time for the

traffic cops, for it Is then that menwhose cars violate traffic laws allthe year make It up in handsometips. The elevators are trimmed inholly and the boxes put up by therunners for gratuities jingle withcoins. The elevator men always goout early after their Christmas gifts.And on the East Side, too. the

Christmas spirit has full play. Thereare all kinds of entertainments.dances and masquerades. It puts afew hours of great splendor into th*1lives of toiling young men andwomen. The laundry girl reiens forone night as Marie Antoinette andthe little wrapper girl as the fatedQueen of Scots.The young Kast Side girls foriret

their plain dresses and the wearingclick of the cash trolley for they «retransformed into bewitching ladies.The youthful truck drivers, freighthandlers and other two fisted work¬men get a chance to crack the Jokesthey've saved up from constant at-tendance at burlesque showsIt is a happy spirit that comes to

New York at Christmas time indeed.People forget the hurly-burly livesthe/ lead, and become more human.

Employers of unskilled labor com¬plained this week about the suddenrush of their workmen to St. Louis,where the lid is off for 2.7.r» per centbeer. The weak, watery beer servedin New York, it seems, is a pcor sub¬stitute and even 2.7S brew is wel¬comed.so much so that they willleave good old New York to get it.The few remaining beer saloons arcdoing very little business and thenewspapers report that the workmenhave been doing their own brewingat home but live in fear of revenueacents. Beer is a lost thirst slaker.Men who were satisfied with it areturning to the boot-leggers as an un-happy substitute. But whisky iseasy to get.such as it is. One NewYork newspaper tells of a new drinkinvented during the week.alcohol.camphor and cream. It is said tohave a more powerful kick than theold bowery "^hi^d rail" whisky.

And all the night long thegarage was open with a French[limousine and a touring car readyfor almost any taker. It is a wag-gish world, my masters.

Shortages of one thing and an¬other have become common enough.Coalless winters and sausagelessbreakfasts are accepted philosophlc-ally. But when it is announced thatthere is a dearth of aspiring authorsland their "great works*" that'ssomething to be shocked about.Willing writers have always beenas productive and dependable asthat well-known mill which grindssalt to keep the sea in good condNtion.Postmen have for years been

bringing around to editorial doors athousand or so manuscripts daily,and every evening the office boy na*been starting the other 999 on thereturn trip. Then came the morn¬ing when the postman had only halfas many and so on till the timewhen there was nothing but a pic¬ture postal card for the steno¬grapher.Why this terrible situation? C'est

(<"¦ .9 right, 19!9. t»y tlie McClure New»|mj*rSyndicate )

This is not a fortunate day. accord-Ing to astrology. The Sun and Sa-turn are in malefic aspect.There is a sign read as presaging re-

ligious troubles, for Saturn is in a

place making for unjust suspicion,prejudice and unkindliness.The stars that are held to give

warning of church difficulties seem toindicate extreme activity in organiz-ing nnd spreading the doctrines ofone great sect.Ministers and other speakers who

address audiences while this confiRU-ration prevails probably will find alark of responsiveness.Warning is given by the seers that

in the reaction after war when spir-Itual possibilities are forgotten andmaterial ambitions permitted to re-place higher aspirations, new dangersarise.This is not a favorable day for vis-

iting friends or relatives who occupyplaces in the Sun; since the stars thatencourage egotism and the conscious-ness of power are forceful in their in-fluence, and critical moods are engen-dered.

It is not a promising day for minesand mining interests and there isdanger of losses, strikes and evenfires.Disappointment is presaged to

persons who have political ambi-.Jtions, since supremV surprises are'indicated for the next Presidential,campaign.

Increase of beauty is foreshad-'owed for Americans and children!born in the new year have theprognostication of unusual physi-lcal endowment.Labor continues under a sign

presaging great progress and manybenefits.Community plans that bring all

elasses of inhabitants into closertouch In many cities will bringabout a great national movement,astrologers predict, and this willtake the form of some theatricalenterprise.Music is subject to the best sort

of planetary government and willmake great headway in the United.States in the sense that publicinterest will focus on the best(compositions and will demand pop-ular concerts.Persons whose birthdate it is

WHEN WE'RE ALLLINED UP BEFOREGOD'S JUDGMENT-BAR

By Ike Rev. CHARLES ITELILE.There's a universal equality among

men. that we like to think and talkabout.The great world-democracy nas

meant much to the race.Rut there's another "universal equal¬

ity" which isn't quite so flattering.It's found in the word of God.Here it is:"For all have sinned, and come short

of the glory of God!"Sin has been described as "falling

short of the mark."And this applies to all of ns."There is none righteous, no. not

one."If you don't believe it. here s the

proof, taken from God's wefrd:"If we say that we have no sin. we

deceive ourselves, and the truth is notin us."We nre self-deluded.blind to our

own sin.The very best evidence that a man

is ;» sinner Is the assertion that he is"perfect."Of course, sin doesn't always show

I itself in the same way.j To get drunk, to raise a row. to beatup your wife, to steal, to lie. to com-

J mit adultery.these aren't the onlyways to sin.nor always the worst.To be smun and self-righteous. to

be coldly indifferent to the needs ofyour neighbors, may be worse than

| g< tting drunk.Some men are too stingy to get

dmnk.They wouldn't have a speck of dirt

' on the vests for the world, but theirsouls nre smeared with filth and muck.And the "respectable sinner" will

have to take his place at the same barof Justice to which the drunkard sndthe harlot will also have to come,There is no difference."for all have

sinned".and sin is sin.It's iroing to be humiliating for Mrs.

Proudphrse snd Mr. Moneybags toline up with Tom. the drunken sailor,and Mary. the street walker-butthey'll have to do it at the final day."for all have sinned."

i Unless.and it's a blessed "unless '

they confess their sin and ask for for-giveness.,"For God is faithful and Just to for-

j give us our sin, and to cleanse us from. all unrighteousness."

And this carries with it making re-! strletion. so far as possible.We've got to square ourselves with

those whom we injuredBut.there '.s forgiveness with God.

don't forget that.It's up to us.not to God.God has done his part.He's ready.are youT
