Democratic prodigals who. re-
turning home last spring and
only for the summer
rains to develop fall pastures,
are now claiming the fatted calf,
in nominations for office. Manv
of them are candidates for con-
gress. Several of them are de-
manding seats in the senate.
Everywhere the voices of the
dutiful sons can be heard raised
in protest. The voice of Jim
Reed of Kansas City is waken-
ing Missouri with its note of
complaint. But the Fourteenth
Missouri District enjoys the
unique distinction of putting up
a battle between two prodigals,
which has shut out all of the du-
tiful sons, and has attracted
wide attention for that reason.
There have been other reasons
making this campaign notewor-
thy. A strange thing has been
that each of the, proGgsls has
charged the other with desertion
of the old homestead and a re-
turn only for meat. Mr.. Mi
chael first brought the charge
against Mr.. Russell, and Mr..
Russell, not denying its truth,
and even while asserting that it
is the right and duty of an
American citizen to bolt a party
when it goes wrong, hurled it
back at Mr.. Michael that he
himself had exercised this right
in supporting Hearst against
Bryan two years ago. Mr.. Rus
sell was 30 anxious, it seems, to
prove that Mr.. Michaels had ex-
ercised this right and performed
this duty of an American citi-
zen that he procured from the
Arkansas secretary of state an
official statement covering the
case. The statement clinched
the fact that Mr.. Michael had
been as patriotic in performing
the duty of an American citizen
by leaving the Democratic party
as Mr.. Russell had been. So far
from being satisfied with this GER
tifcate of good character, how
ever, Michael denounced the let
ter as a forgery and charged Mr..
Russell with uttering it. Now
Mr.. Russell has sworn out an in
formation to have him indicted
for criminal libel. We are
unable to catch Mr.. Michaels
point of view. He is not yet
naturalized in the Missouri
Democracy. In Arkansas, where
the Democratic party, for the
sake of discipline and organisa-
ton does not concede it to be
the duty or even the right, of
a Democrat to bolt his party, he
must have gathered the fear that
it is dangerous for an ambitious
Democrat to leave the ranks. He
knows better now. Mr.. Russell,
who:boldly admitted his leaving
the party from a.sense of duty
and declared that he would do it
again, is the choice of the Four
teenth District Democrats for
Congress. Mr.. Michaels, who
protested his unfailing regular
ity. and denied that he ever set
his individual judgment against
that of the organization, finds
himself defeated and under in.
dictment for letting his party
zeal run away with his discretion.
Such a situation commands the
earnest attention of political stu
dents. 1t should be hint to jim
Reed that his constant boast
of his unfailing party regularity
is a vain and empty one. He
may yet be indicted for it.

To be in the fashion this spring in

The buttonless cutaway is popular.
It is worn by most of the men one

The sides of the coat are held In posi-

the coat does not meet, and the link of

pr. William 8, Bainbridge Of the

has an entirely new treatment for can
Ger, which he explained in his annual,
clinical lecture at the institution the
other afternoon. @'fS : =
In the course of the clinic, the sub
5ect of which was "Ligation," the
process Of cutting of the blood supply
upon which cancerous affections feed
and absolutely isolating the cancer:
from the rest Of the body, he exhibit
ed several apparent cures which arous-
ed the keenest interest. For instance,
DR.. cambridge introduced first a man
and then a woman, both Of whom had
suffered from serious cancers Of the
face. In each case nearly the whole
side Of the face had been removed and
new cheek created by grating skin,
taken from the patients legs and arms,
ON the side Of the head where the can
Ger had been. 49,
DR.. Bainbrdge defined the subject
OF the clinic. legation. as the starving
out Of the death eating growth. Near
DR.. cambridge at this time was an
elderly man. over the left side Of whose
face was spread a piece Of antisepuc
cloth. The man looked happy. Pres,
entity br. Bainbridge turned TO him
and, calling him by name. asked him
to come forward - :, -
- The man walked briskly up 70 the
side Of Df. cambridge, and the latter
put his arm around him and removed
the cloth which obscured his face:
Even some Of the doctors present shud-
dered at what they saw. Nearly half
Of the mans face was gone, but the
hole was healing. as everybody could
see. q"
The man came 70 DR.. cambridge
several weeks ago, he said, apparently
In a dying condition. An operation
was performed, the blood vessels lead
Ing to the cancer being closed so that
1t had nothing to feed upon.
This man." said DR.. Bainbridge,
was operated on five weeks ago. He
tells me now he has no pains, that he
has gained eight pounds In weight and
he is feeling fine"
DR.. cambridge told Of one woman
whom ten physicians had given up. At
the cancer hospital legation was per-
formed, and In six weeks she was out
automobile riding. One Of his cases
was police sergeant, who first noticed
his affection year ago, when seized
with pains in the abdomen after eat
ing. The sergeant has gained forty
pounds since the operation and is back
on the force. Another man was given
up as dead when admitted to the hos
pital, but Is now fast recovering.
In some Of the cases presented there
had been no Indications Of a recur-
renee Of the malady. In others the
ravages of the disease had been check
ed and life prolonged, perhaps for q
period Of years. 's'F "a ,7:"2 y :%s.f II
