THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER > (Established 1873) STILL ON THE FENCE The action of Senator LaFollette in withdrawing from the North Dakota presidential primary means—that he is still on the fence. The Wisconsin Senator is still playing a _waiting game, a game he has been playing so long that he has reached an age and a condition of health where he is not considered likely material for the presidency by those close to him for this reason alone. Always standing aloof from the Republican party, dissatisfied and complaining, encouraging new party movements, yet refusing to wager his politieal fortunes in the balance to establish one—that is LaFollette’s record. The Wisconsin Senator apparently believes that iself- preservation is the first law of politics. Back in 1912 when “Roosevelt led a revolt encouraged by LaFollette, the latter folded up his tent and walked back into what he called the reactionary wing, ‘and supported President Taft for reelec- tion. With “progressives” throughout the country endeav- oring to force him into a definite statement of whether he will lead a new party movement he remuins silent ; he allows his home state to give him a delegation at the Republican national convention but he declines to take chances of defeat h in’ North Dakota. His political maneuvers apparently have been designed to keep himself secure in his home state. The malcontents in the Republican party and others know they cannot start a third party with LaFollette, who has been their demi-God, standing aloof. They have raised him too high in the imagination of their fellows. If past actions are a criterion for the future,*if the action of LaFollette in running for cover in North Dakota means anything, it is that +-—he-will remain just where he has always been, assailing exist- ing conditions and the majority party — but remaining within it to the extent that he may secure his political future. DIGGING GRAVES WITH TEETH Every lovers’ quarrel, every spat between husband and «fe. begins in the:stew pot or the oven; says a celebrated Evglish surgeon. Most of us have noticed a tendency to beeemc able when our digestion is out of order. in ‘Ths Lordon surgeon even believes that character is con- ably regulated by what goes into the stomach. He’s reasoning flong the same lines as feeding raw meat to a prize-fighter to make him ferocious or candy to a girl to .-make her amiable. Sir William Osler once said: “For some reason the brain and the stomach have never been friends, and the cleverest men I know treat their stomach like dogs.” Charles E. Hecht, English food expert, says he studied great men of history and decided Osler was right. Herbert Spencer, the philosopher, always ate a heavy dinner an hour before going to bed—and never was able to tigure out why he had insomnia and indigestion. Hecht thinks Spencer’s gloom and cynicism were caused by his ignorance of the simplest rules of diet. Napoleon, another dyspeptic, ate at irregular hours. He holted his meals. He gorged. He was forever munching candy. Here was a brilliant man, intellectual enough to conquer nation after nation. Yet he couldn’t master hi appetite. Shakespearé’s marvelous plays could never have been written by a dyspeptic. He ate carefully, sensibly and had excellent digestion. A big insurance company claims that nearly half of the illnesses of its policyholders originate in indigestion. You recall the old saying, that most people dig their graves with their teeth. Good cooks cause more indigestion than bad cooks, for tasty victuals entice people to over-eat. Most folks, when the stomach is upset, blame it on some particular thing they have eaten.. As a rule, though, indigestion is caused by eat- ing too much — or too fast, as is the tendency in this mad- house age when everyone imagines he’s in a hurry. An old country doctor says it’s a good rule always to go away from the table a bit hungry. The stomach can easily be the gateway to the cemetery. UNGRATEFUL OF LUXURIES Sweden’ builds museum-houses, showing exactly how people lived and worked centuries ago. Children, as part of their school training, are taken to these museums to educate them in progress. 3 The same idea would be a corking good thing for our country, and adults should be compelled to join the sight- seers, to make our generation appreciate the easy time it has, compared with the early pioneers.

YY ECULATION IN THE CABI) Admissions by Attorney General Daugherty that he has speculated in Sinclair OH stocks during the time that he has been a member of the cabinet of the United States do not show any criminal conne tion on the part of Mr. Daugher with the oil interests now under investigation, but they do create a serious dowbt,a® to his fitness for cabinet membership. The fact that it is invoil stocks that Mr. Daugherty did his specu- a minor detail, The im- thing is that speculation tock ig highly ir lating is portant in any sort of pyoper in a cabinet mem gardless of whether his specu e profitable or not. An te ¢ en a right to speculate if hé cho s to do so, as long as he doesn’t use someone else's money for the purpose, but it must be plain that a cabinet of- ficer is in a very different position from that occupied by a private citizen so as speculation is concerned.

It must be evi- cent that speculation on the part} of anycman who is a member of the} president's official family is bound to arouse suspicion, just as specu- lation by the president himself would arouse suspicion. Mr. Daugherty may have made! no improper use of his official power or official information in connection with his speculation. but he must know that such specu- lation on the part of a man in his position must arouse public opin- ion and is in itself improper. If he does not realize the impr6épriety of such dealings then he is too dense to ‘hold such a position as he does hold. In brief, a cabinet officer has ne of the treat he was going to have.

The real king’ and queen had gone on a journey to help the people they had been mean to, among others the widow of the dreadful giant Jack had killed, She was left withougs¢ cent—not even the golden harpiet the hen that laid golden eggs—wi Jack ran off with them to the earth. | And the king and queen had never bothered their heads about her since. So Nancy and Nick had sent them | to her with all opts of good things and some money for her old age.! They never forgot’ that she had been | so kind to Jack and had warned him! that her husband was a bad man, and tried to hide-kim. It was no fault of hers when the giant smelled him and said “MiefEfo-fum! I smell the blood of ah Englishmun!” . Besides there were the children of all the giants that Jack-the-Giant- Killer had killed. The king and queen of Beanstalk Land, promised to look after all of them, too, and not return to the pa- lace until it was done. And in the meantime, as I said be- fore, Nancy and Nick had a gorgeous time. Paddyfoot- Purr, the queen’s cat, was very kind to them. Of course. he was quite small, to the giants, but to the Twins he was as big as a camel would be to you or me. “If you wish to ride!” he offered, “I shall be most happy to take you both on my back any place you wish to go.” “That will be fine!” cried both the Twins together. And so Paddyfoot Purr lay down while they scrambled on, and then rose and walked majes- tically through the palace and down the steps, while all the court people and the twenty stiff servants in the hall (for they had all come back) bowed nearly to the ground. “Where to now?” asked Paddyfoot Purr. “Would you like to see the royal goldfish, or the royal mouse- traps, or the royal catnip field?” that he had to lick his whiskers ofer and over again. “We're not cats.” laughed Nancy, pulling, his ear. “Suppose you take us to the royal sugar-plum store or the royal to; op, or the movies | “Ma’am,” said Paddyfoot Purr with dignity,\“we have no such places in Beanstalk Land. But I shall be glad to show you the flower gardens and. fountains and the fine views.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO BEATRICE GRIMSHAW MY DEAR BEE: * Your friend, Dick Summers called me up yesterday and said he wanted me to meet Miss Paula Perier. This was the first time I had heard Mr. Summers was accompanying Miss Perier on her, “personal appearance” trip at the various theatérs. 1 immediately asked him about you and he said he thought you were well, but that he had not heard from you for quite a while. What is the matter,» Bee, is your engagement broken? I could not decline to meet Miss, Perier, although I told Mr. Sum- mers that, having lived quite a while in Albany, the young lady*in ques- tion must have many friends here who ‘could do more for her than I. Of .course he was very flattering and said he wanted her to meet some of ‘the society women in town. He remarked also that Miss Perier knew my husband. He told me that Miss /Perier was going to hold a reception at the theater after the afternoon showing of her picture, and he asked me if I would be one of the patronesses. : -)T expect you know Bee, that Miss Perier was one of the models -at the Acme ‘Advertising Company for quite a; while before.
