LONDON, Nov. 5. —The Republic an victory in America establishes at least for four years a remarkable temperamental affinity between the White House and No. 10 Downing street, for Stanley Baldwin, -who ■ tarts today' his second term as prime : minister, is the British counterpart of President Coolidge. Both of the chief executives are | noted for their calmness, simplicity i and cool-headedness. They hold idem' tical views regarding the necessity of stability in government, and they hope to maintain national progress, both commercial and political, by the same methods, all of which points to a thorough accord between the two great western powers, with an im mediate and favorable reaction on the affairs, not only of Europe, but the entire civilized w'orld. President Coolidge and Prime Min ister Baldwin stand for a determined I opposition to radical changes, espe-I cially in the field of politics. Where President Coolidge won fame as an upholder of law and order in Boston, Mass., Premier Baldwin is equally noted in Great Britain as an advo cate of the same principles. From the continental point of view, it may prove rather disturb- I ing to realize that these national leaders hold decided opinions on the' matter of international debts. Great' Britain’s new prime minister, it will! be remembered, put through a settle ment of the debt to the United I States, and, therefore, he may be ex- j pected within the near future to seek I a satisfactory arrangement of the i debts owing to his country from the allies who are at present backward m making payments.

Prime Minister Baldwin has repeatedly stated that only one method exists for settling interna tional debts and that is by paying them. In the field of domestic problems, Premier Baldwin intends starting every line of work which was drop ped a year ago, his main objects be ing to build up trade and«commerce, strengthen the industrial ties be tween the units of the empire, re duce unemployment and build more houses. In this task he is greatly aided by the knowledge that his con temporary in the White House sees eye to eye with him and that they are both assured a long term in of fice in which to work out their ideas (Copyright, 1924, by Chicago Daily News.)

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. The conservatives have won their great est victory in the era of modern politics in America. Democrats who feared the invasion by a third party of vested rights abandoned their party faith and tradition to join with Republican brethren in fighting their common foe—the radicals. The victory of Calvin Coolidge is an anti-La Follette verdict as much as it is an acquiescence in “things as they are.” The president on the final count may poll a substantial margin above a complete margin. In other words, his triumph over his two opponents is clear cut. He is not a minority victor as Wilson was in the three-cornered race of 1912. The Democratic party was cut in half by the election. It lost more heavily to the third party than it did to the regular Republican ticket, but the conspicuous fact is that if the total Democratic vote in the northern and western states is added to the La Follette vote there still is a comfortable margin for Coolidge. The effect of this will most certainly be felt in congress, where, if Mr. Coolidge asserts himself as a leader, he will feel more confident than be fore of the support of public opinion throughout the nation. Hesitant and cautious heretofore because he was serving the unex pired term of his predecessor, Mr. Coolidge can now feel in the next few months as well as in the four year term beginning March 4th, that he has the country back of him. He can remake his cabinet and with sure-footedness lay before congress his legislative program. Two Theories Tested Two political theories were tested at the polls this time. One was whether guilt was collective, whether a party could be held strictly ac countable for the misdeeds or a few of its members and the other was whether economic issues could be made paramount in the voter’s mind. The peopl ereplied that guilt is in dividual, that Calvin Coolidge was not tainted with scandaL of preced ing administrators and that bis per sonal honesty and integrity were sufficient answer tc the cries of hon esty in government. Nobody in the campaign accused him of dishonesty, but opponents asserted that the Re publican party should be punished. The country chose to think not of parties, but of persons. As for the doctrine that an admin istration in power cannot be over turned if business conditions are good and agriculture is faring well, this election furnished another cor roboration. Just as in 1916, the ad ministration was retained on the prosperity issue, just as in 1920 it was voted out of power because of economic disturbance and the after effects of the war, so did Coolidge benefit this time by the relatively big Improvement in the business and farm world developed this year. Whether politics can make better times or save the day when distress comes is secondary to the all-im portant fact that the incumbent benefits when prosperity is either being enjoyed or near at hand. Un questionably, the American business men, for the most part, convinced themselves that the election of Cool idge meant better business for them. Most Democrats in the north and west felt that way in mercantile cir cles. It ought to mean an unprece dented boom irrespective of whether it had a substantial foundation for business history shows that psychol ogy often rules the day.

For they will no doubt de rive considerable comfort and en couragement from the decisive vic tory given the most conservative of the three candidtaes. La Follette’s failure to carry the electoral vote of the west may be a surprise to some people, but not to those who investigated the west. This correspondent found, for in stance, on reaching Wisconsin that La Follette’s strength there was greatly diminished, and that he •would carry the state by a lower vote than ever before in his political career. North Dakota was found to be close with a chance for Coolidge to carry it. These two states indicated at the outset that La Follette’S pow er had been over-estimated general ly and therefore this writer on fin ishing a tour of the west felt con fident in say'ng that the Wisconsin senator would not throw the election into the house or be the decisive fac tor he had expected to be and that >he couldn’t feel sure of a single •state in the west except Wisconsin and North Dakota. The final re turns indicate that La Follette drew mostly from the Democrats and was simply the best ally President Cool idge could have had for the third party candidate merely made sure of Coolidge pluralities everywhere. Lessons for Democrats The Democrats have many lessons to take to heart. But the principal one is that they must now choose between conservatism—in which the Republicans can count on outdoing all imitators—and liberalism, which shall retain the normal Democratic vote that stayed with Davis and at tract the votes cast for La Follette. The thirty party leaders will not be willing to stay out in the political wilderness. They will start think ing of a coalition wtih the Demo crats. The southern conservatives in the Democratic party will naturally fight the ascendancy of naything that may be called radicalism but the next Democratic national convention will not make the mistake of last July in making a middle-of-the-road candidate, no matter how capable he may be. For in this campaign John W. Davis was never accepted in the west as a substitute for La Follette or even as anti-Coolidge, but rather as a man of the same school of conservative thought. McAdoo would have appealed to the La Follette voters and perhaps have prevented a third party ticket but he couldn’t have carried the east, so it seems reasonable to conclude that McAdoo would have made a better run than Davis and that Al Smith might have done better than Davis, too, but that neither McAdoo nor Smith could have beaten Calvin Coolidge this year. Smith might hav« gotten some eastern states but not the west. McAdoo would have gotten certain western states but not enough in the east. It was a year for conservatives and the person, not the party in power. HOW TO DARKEN GRAY HAIR Makes One Look Twenty Years Younger. Men and women who used to be c tiled Grandpa and Grandma are now setting the styles by darkening their gray hair with a simple home mixture. For instance, J. A. McCrea, a well known Californian, recently made the following statement; “Anyone can prepare a simple mixture in five minutes, that will j darken gray hair, and make it soft | and glossy. Merely take a half-pint of water, add 1 ounce of bay rum, a I small box of Barbo Compound, H | oz. of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at trifling cost. Apply to the hair twice weekly with comb. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and will not I rub off.” (Advertisement.) riREEk ar • Will Not Accept a II K all Sw!pl« Penay-Uatil / / *•“ Aratatisfie * jl T-' jb - c Stn I guarantee a perfect fit nr will make nn charge, / \ JSSB whatever. 1 have convinced over 200.000 men // A •s'TTx /jfgf and women that my large "True Vision" /y,, _. • ‘'Wft'• fL ■ ’N. s'av’ei. with handsome shell rime, are die // juXff finest and most durable spectacles to be .. had.

The largest divisiorf report came from the special big gifts division, of which J. S. Kennedy is chair man. This division, which has been working for several days on the big givers of last year, reported SBI,IOO already subscribed. The next largest division report v came frorp the groups division, can vassing big industries and busi nesses, which reported $6,135. W. W. Orr is commander of this division. The four general divisions report ed as follows: Division B, headed by Major C. N. Walker, $6,053; division A, headed by Fred Gould, $3,235; di vision C, headed by Major Roy Le- Craw, $1,310; division D, headed by Major Julian Boehm, $1,033. In a short talk preceding the meet- / ing, Eugene R. Black, general chair-? man of the campaign, spurred the * workers to greater efforts by declar ing that “if the Community Chest this year is to be a success, it means that we have got to get about 50 per cent more in subscriptions than we did last year.” “Go aftei 1 the small contributor,” he said, “but try to get the small subscriptions in cash wherever pos- / sible. It saves office work and other expenses of bookkeeping and collect ing. And above all get the subscrip tions increased. Get $lO where you got $5 last year, and SIOO where you got $50.” Roy Gates, general manager of the Chest, gave the workers a few specif ic instructions regarding the method of canvassing, urging them particu larly to avoid “overlapping” of sub scriptions wherever possible, and cautioning them particularly” to get the small subscriptions in cash wherever possible.’’ “Last year,” he said, “the Chest ♦ had approximately subscribers, about 21,000 of which subscribed less than S2O. Their subscriptions suffered a shrinkage of eight to 10 per cent through costs of collection and it la highly desirable to avoid this expense by getting the small amounts in cash.” VITAMIZED WATER MAKESHENS LAY I New Vita mine Discovery Gives Amaz ing Increase in Egg Yield Spring and summertime egg pro duction in the fall and winter monthg may now easily be had through .the discovery of a remarkable new meth od of supplying those essential vitamines that are necessary for egg production and which are lacking in thb feed at this season of the year. • It has been found that loafing or molting flocks, when supplied with these vitamines, quickly begin to lay many times as many eggs, are out of the molt much sooner, and are put in prime condition for heavy winter laying. These essential vitamines can eas ily be supplied by simply dissolving Vita-Gland Tablets in the flock’s- » drinking water. In addition to pure, concentrated vitamines, these tablets also contain Ovarian Gland Sub stances which rebuild and revitalize the egg producing glands of the hens, and hasten the development of the egg organs of pullets, starting them laying much sooner. How to Get Yours Free To quickly introduce them to new users, the Vita-Gland Laboratories, 1221 Gateway Station, Kansas City, Mo., are offering to send two regu lar SI.OO packages of Vita-Gland Tab lets, postpaid, for only SI.OO. Or, If more convenient, you need send no money now, but give the postman • SI.OO and postage on delivery of the two boxes. By selling one box to a neighbor you can get your own sup ply free. Moreover, if you are not gratified with the results, just say so and back comes your money. Now is the time to give your flock a good start for fall and winter lay ing. Eggs are high and going high er, and it is by getting them now that bigger poultry profits are made, especially with the high cost of grain feed. As Vita-Gland Tablets are fully guaranteed you take no chance in using them. (Advertisement.) | sowawMmßMtga* We will send a S CERLING razor on 30 days trial. If salfU fartory. costs $1.97.
