FISHERMAN S LUCK
Mr. Hoover fished for five hours the other day with
out getting a bite. The reason was, he is just a candidate
and "not a President. If Mr. Hoover should be elected,
two fish would bite where none bit before. Those Cali
fornia fish know their Presidents from candidates. The
chances are A1 Smith couldn’t catch any fish either.
There is a serious side to this rather light reasoning.
It is this: man is by origin and nature a fisherman, a
hunter, a woodsman. Such vacation jaunts as are now
being engaged in by those in high and near high estate
are merely expressions of the original man climbing and
, hunting and casting stones and sticks. Children display
these traits openly and vigorously. Grown-ups call
them “vacations,” and get by with them beautifully.
Gene Tunney says he wants to quit the ring because
he doesn’t like the social contacts of the profession. His
opponents haven’t particularly liked his fistic contacts
either.
ALASKA TONGUE TWISTER
We have just run across a new bunch of words which
should be an excellent test if one has doubts about any
thirdrail moonshine he might run across. Take four good
snorts, look someone earnestly in the eye and repeat four
times rapidly—“low bush moose.” If the words doont run
down together like a sluicehead of mush, your a humdin
ger and the “mule” is 0. K.
This campaign is surely getting nasty. There are
many Republicans who associate A1 Smith’s brown derby
with what they think will be his taste the morning after.
Mining built the West and is largely responsible for
its present prosperity. Constructive effort to make pos
sible the employment of more men in these great indus
tries is necessary, particularly at this time when there is
growing unemployment in the nation.
There are about 13,000 chances Jor^typographical
error in one column of a newspaper, but this explanation
somehow never appeases the wrathful reader who is de
scribed as “somewhat bad” instead of “somewhat bald”,
when the “1” doesn't drop for the linotype operator.
Both presidential candidates took a vacation the oth
er day. One of them will get a longer one November 6.

Harry Thaw says he is planning a flight to England,
and we haven’t heard of a soul trying to stop him.
