WASHINGTON, June l2.-One rea-
son why Progressive party men oD'

cial spokesman OF their party is found
ia the kind of literature he Insists on
putting out about himself For in
stance, In the letter just made public
by Amos Pinchot, demanding Mr.. Per,
kins' removal as the party chairman,
IL is pointed out that Perkins sent
out as official party literature a
pamphlet containing the following
sob stuff:
1T was the night before Albert J.
Beyeridge delivered his keynote
speech OF the new political crusade.
He asked Col. Roosevelt George W.
Perkins and a few other leaders 70
come TO his room and hear him read
the manuscript. The reading proceed
ed In tense silence. Beverage was
evidently laboring under emotion, and
Col Roosevelt himself was yisibly
moved. But on George Perkins
cheeks the tears were coursiug-and
when Beveridge came 10 those pas
sages In which he outlined the course
OF justice for the men who make the
nation, Perkins, with a sob he could
not stifie. hastily left the room and
paced the corridors TO regain his SELF
control" ..
AS a press agent for himself and
his trusts. Mr.. Perkins is regarded by
Mr.. Pinchot as a great success, but
he objects to man heading the party
who, though SO deeply moved al the
reading of Beyeridges treatise on so
cial justice, yet permits conditions in
the steel trust such as obtain in the
Pittsburgh mills.
Woman suffragists are delighted at
the plan 10 have a vote on prohibition
ia the house. Woman suffrage and
prohibition are alike in being outside
OF the official program prepared for
the party by the house caucus They
are on an identical footing II the
rules committee can bring out spe-
cial rule for one IL can for the other.
The women have resumed their re-
quests that the suffrage amendment
be brought to vote in the house.

If you knew that you could cure

you take the chance?
Calomel acts on the sluggish liver

effects.
Modern science has discovered a veg

desired effects OF calomel without the
shock or after troubles. 1t is so harm

system Immediately after the medi-
