Washington, Sept. 27.-The Repub-
lican publicity Association, through
its president, Hon. Jonathon Bourne,
Jr., today gave. out the following
statement ut it's Washington head
quarters
"In return for special legislation
for the benefit of a comparatively few
people and against the interests Of
the general public, leaders of four
labor unions are now endeavoring to
deliver the votes Of their members to
the Wilson administration. With a
frankness never before displayed in
the barter and sale of votes, labor
leaders assert that the administrator
has used its official power in the inter-
ests Of these men and urges upon
them the duty Of delivering the vote.
The price has been paid in legislation
which provides for an increased wage
and the administration expects ill.,,
vote to be recorded.
There is not even a pretense that
the wage increase was for the general
welfare. The argument is based up
on the fact that there was special
legislation for special interests and
that those special interests should
give the desired reward in "unstinted

purity Of elections which no corrupt

The composite citizen, with no spec

whether he will endorse an admins

The Blow on the Jaw.

A man struck with any degree Of
force upon the mental area Of the jaw.
although he may be in perfect physical
condition, instantly collapses and falls
to the ground. says a medical journal.
The attitude assumed in recovery,
which may be instantaneous or delayed
some minutes, is most characteristic.
He squirms about, raises his head ana
rolls his eyes in an attempt to locate
himself. He tries to get on his side
and elbow; he endeavors to rise upon
his hands and knees. If he regains his
feet he staggers like drunken man.
The blow is practically never fatal; the
hearts action is never unduly acceler-
ated; the pulse and respiration are nor
NAL; the pupils are normal; there IS no
headache, no sweats. no cold extrem1-
ties, no pallor-none of the ordinary
signs Of shock or conclusion.

How to Be Happy.

There are two ways Of being happy.
We may either diminish our wants or
augment our means. Either will do.
The result is the same, and it is for
each man to decide for, himself and do
that which happens to be the easier. II
YOU are idle or sick or poor, however
hard It may be to. diminish your wants,
it will be harder to augment your
means. If you are active and prosper
Gus or young or in good health it may
be easier for you to augment your
means than to diminish your wants.
But If you are wise you will do both at
the same time, young or old, rich OF
Door. sick or we'll, and If you are very
wise you will do both in such way as
to augment the general happiness OF
society.-Benjamin Franklin.

a Flower That Is Intertwned With
Our Colonial History.
The hollyhock gets its name from
two words that Indicate its origin in
the Holy Land and its membership in
the mallow family. But apparently it
was known in India before it flung its
cheerful banners to the air in PaIeS
tine.
Wherever its first home was. it has
become thoroughly accljmated in New
England. We think Of it rs a charac
teristic New England flower. 1t deco
rates orr colonial history almost back
to the days Of Governor Bradford and
Roger Williams 1t is forever peerlng
out of the pages Of New England ic-
ton and poetry. There is no flower
that more completely embodieS the
spirit of our eighteenth century ro-
nance.
Some of the old colonial blossoms are
shy and modest. but the hollyhock has
the courage of its convictions. 1t
knows its beauty. as it should. and
has no mind to hide it under a bushel
or beneath q hedgerow. 1t is the prov
ince of loveliness to display itself. not
vauntingly. but with a due sense Of dts
worth. And the hollyhock, the state
liest of our "old fashioned" flowers.
aspires unabashed.
In two books of popular quotations
there is no reference to the hollyhock.
though the holly has its fair share OF
space. But it can afford to be thus os-
tracized. Providence Journal.
