we are opposed to the nomination

pulling the state through for the presi-
dent, perhaps. He Is John W. Davis.
You see we are not asking that a man
OF either the McGraw or Chiffon fac
ton be nominated so as to mollify US
and secure our support. We are will
ing, and anxious. that the candidate
who Is to have the presidents ap-
proval be one Of his own close friends,
and that he shall be Mr.. Davis. If the
president does not give US Mr.. Davis
and stands back OF Senator Chiffon,
then he must be prepared to accept
the consequences. What they will be
should be plain enough for him or any
body else to see in advance OF their
happening.
Senator Chilton-leastways his fol-
Iowers-is Spreading the report in
West Virginia that the administration
has been, Is, and will continue to be
behind him. He has the presidential
o. K, according to the tale told. We
are now putting that up to the admin
~istration for it to say whether the
story be true or not. 1t is a nut that
the president and the national chair
man will have to crack. The whole
thing is entirely in their hands. We
have composed and delivered our utli-
matum, and We mean to stand or fall
by It, utterly Indifferent what befalls.
The past has shown that we have moth
ing to expect from this administration
unless its attitude toward a large part
Of the Democratic party in West VIZ
ginia is reversed. In all West Virginia
there isn't a presidential appointee
who favored Mr.. wilson's nomination.
Colonel McGraw was the only sizeable
leader in the state who favored Wilson
and fought for him. In return, every
move has been to crush him utterly.

The man in the picture above has a
pair OF eyes that 9 but n thing.
That one thing is the dollar mark.
Nothing else in all this world counts
for much to him. He lives by and for
dollars.
He imagines that he can make his
wife and children happy by piling up
dollars and dollars and dollars; he
thinks that he can gain friends easily
if he has plenty OF gold. He thinks
that all the best in the world is his for
the asking-and paying. That is why
he keeps his eyes glued to the ticker
as it ticks off dollars and cents from
forming until night.
OF course, we all know that this man
is mistaken; that mere money will not

true friends; that the best things or
earth-love, health, genuine happi
ness, and the honest esteem of his
fellow man-cannot be bought WITH
gold alone.
We all know further that while this
deluded human being is using his eyes
day in and day out watching the
fluctuations of his stocks and bonds,
he is missing the greatest sights in
life.
The man in the picture is to be
pitied. The galley slave chained to

OF Hesitation.

One Of the recommendations Of the
resent Pau,Amsrican Financial Confer.
enee, held in Washington, was that
uniformity Of legislation pertaining to
business and finance should be sought
IA al the countries represented. The
conference authorized the formation Of
an international high commission to
work for thiS desirable end, and speci-
ted that the Secretary Of the Treasury
william Gibbs McAdoo. should be
chairman Of the American section,
With authority to appoint the other
members.
Mr. McAdoo has appointed a very
representative body Of men to perform
ghis work. The vice chairman is John
Bassett Moore, formerly counselor Of
the state department, and now con-
nected with the Columbia University.
ana the other members are John H.
Fahey president Of the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States. Bos-
ton; D. R. Francis, st. Louis; E. H.

George n. Reynolds. Continental and
Commercial National Bank, Chicago;
Henry P. DAWSON, Of J.. P. Morgan &
Co. Samuel -Untermyer and DR.. Leo
s. Rowe, who is secretary-general.
The commission will formulate plans
to obtain the passage Of required laws
BY the legislative bodies Of the coun-
tides represented. These are, besides
the United States, Argentina, Bolivia.
Brazil. Chile, Colombia, Costa RIGA.
Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador,
G1atemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Pan
ana, Paraguay, Peru, Salvador, Uru-
quay and Venezuela. The subjects
under consideration are a gold stand

USING SOAP
SPOILS THE HAIR

Soap should be used very sparing-
ly, if at ali, if you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkaIi. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary nulsihed cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. It makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy 1ather, which
rinses out easily, removing every par
ticle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves the scalp
soft, and the hair fine and silky.
bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy 10
manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, and few ounces
will supply every member of the fam
ily for months.
