Logan Payne Co. : CHICAGO Y SEW YORK BOSTON Cabinet Enters Senate Fight Pennsylvania Republicans are about to stage a sena- forlal primary battle which may overshadow anything in the political ring this year. It is to be waged between Senator Joseph R. Grundy, a party enemy of President Hoover, and John J, Davis, secretary of labor in the president's cabinet. The scheduled contest is the old battle of William S. Ware and Senator George Wharton Pepper analogously over again. . Even Gifford Pinchot who ran third in the old primary race which Vare won, is to be in this race again. Vare—thrown out of the senate to which he had een elected after winning the party nomination against Pepper, the incumbent, and Pinchot, the dry candidate— has decided his health will not permit him to make the fight this time. He has thrown the tremendous influ- ence of his Republican faction, which includes the Phil- sdelphia machine, on the side of the Pittsburgh man, Secretary Davis. In the previous contest, Pittsburgh was with Pepper. He was the candidate of Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury and controlling power in the Pittsburgh machine. Although the two men are in the Hoover cab- inet, Mellon may be driven by the force of circumstances to back Grundy and oppose Davis, his fellow cabinet member and townsman. Davis is good senatorial timber. He was brought to America from Wales as a poor immigrant boy. He struggled up from the depths as a puddler in the iron mills, became the head of a great fraternal order noted for its charitable beneficences for orphan children, and finally landed in the presidential cabinet as a labor rep- resentative. He has shown a fine intelligence and good Sudgment and has a large following the nation over in fraternal and labor circles. Undoubtedly he would make ® strong senator should Pennsylvania elect him. Davis is a champion of womanhood, while Grundy is bachelor and entertains crabbed notions of women in politics. He thinks they have adulterated the electorate. Davis is a man of heart. He favors all social welfare reforms and he is for the tariff, but as a laboring man’s champion, while Grundy looks at the tariff from the capitalist's point of view. Tariff means protection for the benefit of the worker to Davis. He is a full dinner pail believer as to duties. Grundy is regarded by many as seeking more and more tariff so that the manufactur- ers of the east can gouge the consumer with higher prices. Davis’ platform will contain the plank, “Ay tariff for the pay envelopes of the workers.” As in the former primary campaign, the governorship (will probably play an important part in the contest. The Vare machine favors Francis Shunk Brown, Vare's per- Sonal counsel, a noted Philadelphia lawyer, while the Fisher-Mellon-Grundy forces have been inclined to se- “Ject for their nomination choice Samuel S. Lewis of York. Lewis has held many offices in the gift of Penn- fylvanians and would make a fine governor, because of his executive training, his legal knowledge and fine per- ‘ Bonal qualities, If there resulted a fluke similar to that which ensued in the previous primary contest and Lewis Noters would be getting their money's worth and the Keystone state would, after many years of misrule, sometimes by mediocrities in the governorship, emerge from its debasement by machine politics. He Put America Into War The man who more than any other brought the United Btates into the World war, which it is estimated cost ‘this country $27,500,000,000, is dead. Americans will, therefore, shed few tears over the memory of Admiral ‘Alfred von Tirpitz, lord high admiral of the German avy during the war. ‘Von Tirpitz was the author of the relentless subma- tine warfare which Germany could not be induced to modify or give up. After American lives in repeated in- stances had been sacrificed by their insistence on travel- fing on English steamships which were supposed to be «arrying munitions from this side to the Allies as a part 50 might claim peership with. the learned Hadley. the really great university administrators of the country, while in the domain of learning there were few who He excelled in learning on almost any subject of general knowledge, and was grounded as well in many subjects of a technical nature. Withal.he was witty and keen as @ speaker, so that he shone everywhere. His philos- ophy was healthily democratic and he had none of the snobbery so many of the pundits of American universi- ties and colleges affect. To many it will come with all the authority of a claim upon reverence that in knowledge of football he even ex- celled that sage of things sportive, Walter Camp. It was one of the few measures of the brilliancy of the man’s attainments, Hadley formerly was editor of the Railway Age and he became an authority on matters relating to railroads, His acquaintance with Chauncey Depew led to his se- lection to the presidency of Yale. He served that insti- tution with impressive effect,.and after 22 years retired at the age of 65, as he had notified the university cor- Poration he would when he accepted the appointment. He was still a figure of great usefulness when he died suddenly on the around-the-world tourist ship, £mpress of Australia, Thursday, for his was one of the most au- thoritative economist minds in the country, Selfishness Is a Tragedy -Shortly after Dr. Snook was electrocuted in the Ohio state penitentiary, Warden P. E. Thomas: wrote a little character study of the man, basing it on his obsérva- tion of him as a prisoner and on many talks he had had with him, , Now Snook, of course, is well forgotten; yet one or two of the warden’s remarks about him are worth look- ing at—not because Snook was a noteworthy person, but because it is interesting to see just how a murderer dif- fes from an ordinary citizen. The outstanding trait in Snook’s character, says War- den Thomas, was selfishness, Snook lived for himself alone. He based all of his actions on the way they would affect himself; he made all of his decisions with him- self, and only himself, in view. So it was that Snook got himself entangled in a sor- did love affair and committed a murder to get out of it. Probably there wasn’t as wide a gulf between Snook and some of the'rest of us, in that one respect, as we like to think. Snook was supremely selfish—but genuine un- Selfishness is far from being a universal trait. He shaped all of his life with the aim of pleasing himself before anyone else—and so, in a slightly lesser degree, do most of the rest of us, This, of course, does not mean that we are all po- tential Snooks. But it does mean that we are not quite as far removed from him as we might choose to imagine. He had our common vice of selfishness; he merely car- ried it @ bit farther than the ordinary man does, There is another point worth considering, too, in con- nection with this selfishness of Snook’s. Snook was supremely selfish—and because of his sel- fishness he wound up by getting himself into the worst mess imaginable, His very desire to make his own life pleasant and en- Joyable kept it from being that and turned it into a tragedy. His selfishness, in other words, defeating it- self. That is the way things often work out in this world. The man who is eternally “looking out for number one” is apt to be outstripped, in the pursuit of happiness, by the chap who makes it his rule to look out for some- one else's welfare, To put yourself first all of the time is likely to mean, some day, that you will find yourself last. All of which, to conclude, is simply another way of stating a very old truth—a truth that is best said in the significant phrase, “He that saveth his life shall lose it.” —_——_ | Editorial Comment | Beautiful Service (The Cincinnati Enquirer) A Cincinnati woman, who at her request must be nameless, is engaged in exemplifying the basic essential of true religious faith, whether Christian or pagan, This retiring, nameless woman spends much of her time.in conveying sick people who are unable to pay am- bulance rates, to and from the hospitals of the city in her |’ own machine, which she herself drives.

Germany's cause thus fwas sacrificed by the headstrong policy of its high ad- ‘wniral. Tt is a coincidence that this American device of war- Yare when employed by the Germans brought down on them the wrath of the nation from which their schreck- liches instrument of destruction emanated. America thus not only assisted the allies in winning the war by gctual fighting, but-many years before Europe sprang to rms in the most terrible conflict of all times, its fateful inventive genius already had set the stage for German undoing and defeat, by giving Germany something with which to be fatally stupid. . Prior to the war, von Tirpitz was one of the really big ‘men of the reich. He was the creator of the imperial German navy with which Germany entered the war. It ‘was, in a defensive way, an effective organization, though fits necessary use for coastal defense left it few oppor- 0 of itself even in retreat, that there are critics hold it to have won a moral victory by delivering and then safely retiring before superior force guardianship. i The grateful, prayerful old lady in Charles Reade’s novel, “Christie Johnstoné,” came near to saying it all when she breathed to her young benefactor, “May your lot on earth be with the rich, in heaven with the poor.” Pry fe Mr. Davis’s Wise Plan (Duluth Herald) Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, speaking the other day to an eastern audience, explained the selective im- migration plan which he is advocating. In & word, he would:pick immigrants on the other side so that they will fit into our labor needs instead of being ited to congest occupations already overcrowded. Immigration now is limited to 150,000 @ year. Under the law preference is given to parents of American citi- zens, persons skilled in agriculture and the wives and minor children'of alien residents. But even after these are cared for, most of the immigrants still come on the basis of “first come, first served.” In its rela- tion to American industrial needs, this hit-or-miss plan pala’ helps, and often hurts, the situation. Says ‘Mr. vis: ‘ Immigrants are now coming to overcrowded cecupations.

Surgeons have even gone as far recently as to oper- ate on the brain and take out sections of this vital organ which only a little while ago we hought could not be even touched without danger. Surgeons have recently opened up the heart and operated upon por- tions of it, with the patient still liv- ing after the operation! The reports of surgical progress which creep into the newspapers un- doubtedly have the effect of making people believe that almost everything can be done with surgery. The other day a patient whom I had just examined was urging her sister to also have an examination as @ precaution to determine if any hid- den disorder existed. The sister, who appeared to be a highly intelligent young woman, replied, “I'd rather wait until I am sick and then have an operation.” I asked her what she to be operated on for, and she flippantly replied: “I should worry, I'll worry, I'll let the doctor find that out. I’d rather go to the hospital and be laid up for two or three weeks than to be bothered about diet.”" Mind you, this is not an un- usual point of view, but one which I hear frequently expressed by those with whom I come in contact socially. ‘The publicity about people being saved by surgical operations has been so great in recent years that many people who otherwise appear quite sensible, prefer to. live haphazardly, but are careful to carry the telephone number of some surgeon who is fa- mous in their locality so they can call him if suddenly taken sick, expecting that he can miraculously remove the bad effects from years of injurious living.

G. asks: “Ts liquic paraffin oil a safe laxative to take?’ Answer: Mineral oils are not really laxatives, but are lubricants and as- sist in making the bowels move morc freely through their lubricating effect. ‘They undoul interfere somewhat with digestion because the food par- ticles are coated with the oil, but thi: 1s not a serious objection to its use and it must be considered superior to irritating laxatives. Of course, the best thing to do is to remove the causes of constipation so that oils or laxatives are not required. (Stomach Gas) Question: L, K. asks: “What ‘would cause gas when there is no food in my stomach to make it?” Answer: Excessive gas in the stom- ach can be caused from an improper balance of the digestive fluids. In many cases the bile from the intes- tines pours into the stomach, and as 1 the bile is alkaline, a large amount of gas is created while this alkaline bile comes in contact with the gastric Juice, which is acid. I believe this is sy the commonest ca. > of excessive stomach gas and that it really comes directly from the food eaten, espc- cially that food which has an influ- ence upon creating an imbalance of the digestive juices, (Exercises with H.
