Hay Fever.

1t has been factitiously remarked
that hay fever only attacks those whose
business and means permit the luxury.
While it is true that there is big ner-
vous element in hay fever, neverthe-
less the peculiar disorder isn't all
nerves nor all imagination
The lining membrane of the nose is
peculiarly sensitive in hay fever vic
tins. Sometimes this sensitiveness is
due to some growth or other unnatural
condition. In cases Of this nature sue
cessful treatment of these disorders re-
moves the tendency to hay fever.
On top of the peculiar neurosis and
the sensitive membrane, which may
also be a Representatives,, there is
some irritant-commonly the pollen of
some Towering plant. The irritant is
not necessarily confined to such sources,
however. In the case of one eminent
sufferer, cited by Osler, ga certain sort
of feather pillow" acted as the eXcit-
ant. In another of my own acquaint-
ance, flax seed poultice would invari-
ably bring on typical seizure.
Hay fever is too common to call for
any description here of its symptoms.
While a large amount of clinical and
laboratory research is being carried on
to determine a possibly more specific
cause and 'sure enough remedy, ="
nothing new has been established. A
single mail delivery brought two in
quiries for "some new relief measure. :"
A suggestion of danger lies in these
and the thousands of similar queries
that are being made at this season.
1t is a we'll known fact amongst
physicians that many drug iends have
been made by drugs employed to give
relief. Hay fever remedies of secret
formulae should be summed. They are
almost certain to owe whatever relief
they may afford to dangerous, habit
forming drugs. A victim may better
chance ''sneezing his head off, than to
tempt drug fiend's reason for blow
ing out his brains. If the treatment
of a conscientious physician doesn't
succeed in making symptoms tolerable,
one had much better seek hay fever
victims resort at any cost.
One can, however, fight the nervous
frame of mind which, as | have sug-
gested above, is a factor in probably
every case. Certainly there is no sense
in beginning to sneeze in the presence
of artificial flowers, as has been done.

EDITOR MERLIN HULL was numbered
among those who also ran for governor
and PHILOSOPHERS thus: ''When coun

politics, butting into game patroniZed
mainly by millionaires and professional
politicians, he always knows there will
be an end to the joy ride, and we came
to the end of ours in due season. The
people wanted change, wanted some
thing different, something which would
lessen the tax burden and reform ad-
ministrative methods at the state cap
itol. Some went to the polls and voted
the change and others expressed them
away from the primary. That the re-
suit might have been different had
more people gone to the primary, or
had there been less number of pro-
gressive candidates, will be urged by
some, but the widespread discomfort
which has been manifest since the adj
iournment of the, last legislature was
due warning that there was going to
be change. The primary proved it.
We do not share in the view that the
change demanded is reactionary. The
change they want is good government

as reform in the kind of legislation is

CONGRESS is about to pass what is
known as the pork bill, and also to
pass an emergency appropriation bill OF
a hundred millions to make up the rev.
enue lost on account of the war, loss of
import duties. President Wilson is OPP
posed to a bond issue to meet the
treasury deficit caused by the loss of
tariff revenue. 1t is perhaps easier to
place additional taxes upon luxuries
than to borrow for the people. In the
war tax we have a more direct means
of raising revenue from those who
choose to pay, or who are forced to
pay by the use of the articles thusly
taxed If the president had had the
nerve to attack congress and demand
economy and genuine saving, he might
have achieved greater renown.

For those who, from the start, OPP
posed the primary law, and openly re-
fused to take stock in it, there might

garded the law as begotten in humbug
and selfish Interior purpose, and sonnd-

But what about the spectacle of this
parcel of progressive" squealers, who
have been fairly and decisively beaten
in the primaries, now trying to egg
each other on to repudiate the opera
tion of their own law-the very law
which they have been holding up to the
admiration and imitation of the country
as their most beautiful legislative
achievement? Well, let them put up
their welsher ticket. It will be one
more exposure of their now notorious
political insincerity; one more proof of
what their opponents have contended
from the start that, with their canting
psalmody about the sanctity of primary
law results, they would not hesitate to
repudiate it the moment it failed to
work their way. No wonder that
scores of honest 'progressives" are
openly gagging at the sophistries ten
tatively put forth in promotion of this
scheme. They know that the primary
campaign was honestly fought and hon
estly won; and that if the progress

were too much for what the Fprogres-
sives" are pleased to call their princi-
pies, they have only themselves to
blame for the results. Sentinel.

At a recent meeting of the trustees of
this trust the fact was disclosed that

bonds Of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration, designed for the fund. had been
registered in the name of the Carnegie
Dunfermline Trust, which Is distributing
Mr.. Carnegie's generous benefactions in
his old home town. Steps were taken to
have the bonds transferred to the United

This means that Mr.. Carnegie further
curtailed his personal fortune to the ex-
tent of $1O.OOOOOO instead of calling
upon the Carnegie Corporation of New

lions to supply benevolent funds.
Mr.. Carnegie last night said that he
felt the gift would be appreciated more
if it came from his own pocket than from

WILL FRAME PROPOSED
TRUST STATUTES SOON
Senate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee to Begin Its Work
Next Week.
CARDINAL

Soon after the Senate convenes next
week the committee on interstate COM
merce will begin its work on the pro-
posed trust legislation. considered one of
the most important items in the legis-
lative program of the administration.
Senator Newlands, chairman of the COM
mittee. is still in the west, but he has
sent word that the committee is to be
called together Friday of next week.
There are pending before the commit
tee about a dozen bills dealing with the
trust question, half of which propose
amendments to the sherman antitrust
law Undoubtedly. before any definite
action is taken toward framing a bill,
the committee will await the views of
President Wilson. which he is expected
to give to Congress in special address
at an early date. Senator Newlands,
however. has had several conferences
with the President regarding trust legis-
lation, and he also has consulted with
the House leaders on the subject, and it
is understood that the principles which
will be involved in the legislation are al
ready well crystalllzed.
May Urge Amendments.
1t is expected by some legislators that
the President, in his address to Congress,
will recommend some amendments to the
Sherman antitrust law. and that these
amendments will be in the nature of
making the law more specific. 1t also is
believed that he will favor the creation
of commission to look after trust mat
tiers, somewhat similar to the interstate
commerce commission. whose duties will
be to act as publicity clearing house
for the big corporations. and to act as
agent for the courts if it becomes neces-
sary to dissolve any trust.
There will be opposition on the part of
some of the senators who stand strongly
for the recognition of states rights to
giving such a commission great power
over corporations Organized and doing
business under statel laws. But it is be-
lieved that majority will turn to this
plan Senator Williams of Mississippi,
who is insistent upon the full recognition
Of all states rights, has introduced a
