TWENTY-FIFTH
ANNUAL SESSION
LETTER FROM GOOD FRIEND
The women of Wichita who start-
ed to church last Sunday morning
with their husbands had to go it
alone, if they chanced to pass along
Riverside Boulevard. Those who
paused, and that included every man,
ascertained that pictures were being
taken of pretty girl, in bathing suits
with probably enough goods in them
to fill the palm of the left hand. But
tsuch is life and Mother Eve was
once in fashion. They were movie
V*rls and their pretty picturesque
pictures will he put on the screen.

The question of the attitude of Sen-
ator Harding, the Republican party
pod The Kansas City Star toward the
League of Nations is brought up m
-n letter from Mr. W. H. MacKellar
sal the Sewanee Review. Mr. Mae-
Kellar thinks alt three are lamentably
indefinite in their discussions of the
covenant The Star, he gathers, be-
Jievts any league impossible. He
•grids:
4* this to be the policy of the
Republican party if Mr. Harding
iis elected? If so, why did not
•he Republican senate reject the
treaty outright intsead of try-
ing to amend it ? It is clear that
Senator Harding, following the
dictates of his bosses and their
•utterances in his platform, is
•eying to blow both hoi and cold
^about the treaty and the league,
4>ut why should a great newspa-
per do this? Speaking for the
Democratic party, Mr. Cox de-
clares that he and it are in favor
•of the present league. He goes
further and says that he favors
tny league rather than none. Be-
• ween The Star and Borah and
Johnson and Taft and Harding
and the platform nobody knows
■where to place either the Repub-
lican j>arty or its candidate.

watch to us it will not only receive prompt at tention but it woll be put in first-class shape.
