Of politicians, while the electorate of the
whole United States is only permitted to

Independence, misnamed insurgency, is
not a protest against any particular
phase of legislation or administration; it
is protest against dictation in either
legislation or administration. 1t is an
assertion of the confidence of the people
in their own intelligence and their own
ability to govern themselves and their
determination to reject leadership by po-
litical bosses representing the interests
of campaign contributors.
Loyalty to principle rather than party
name is declaration Of intellectual in
dependence as distinguished from the in
tellectual slavery which leads a man to
vote blindly the ticket nominated for him
by party bosses. This new independence
is what is sweeping the country and it
knows no party lines. Though I believe

Nerves and
Environment

The environment OF the body IS ABB
solutely related to nerves. Cut the
nerve of sight and you separate the
realm of light. Cut the nerve OF
hearing and you destroy the realm OF
sound. Cut the nerve of taste and all
food becomes tasteless. But the
nervous system of man is also related
to the BRAIN, the seat of mind. Hence,
his nerves must be in perfect accord
with the whole environment OF his
life, his thought, his will, his work,
his play or he can express only part
of himself. So when the wonderful
nervous system which energies his
life is debilitated or impoverished we
can truly say he is out of harmony
with his environment.

women today are living but part OF

Under delegated government, still in

in their legislation. thus preventing the
development of the electorate; nor have
they any voice in the selection of their
public servants, thus debauching public

through the political boss to the real
