The New House and HARMONY,

In the interest of party solidarity,
dependent upon continued harmony
Mr.. Fess withdraws from the contest
for the speakership Of the next House.
His candidacy had received most re-
spectful consideration. In the press
and on Capitol Hill comment had
agreed as to the adequacy of his equip
ment for the post; that he had the
ability and the temperament required.
Mr.. Fess finds harmony in his party
now, and wants it continued 1t is I'M
perative, indeed, that it should cons
tinue, both in Congress and elsewhere.
But particularly in Congress. The
party there must hang together, or
again pass out. ANY pranking, or con
tests putting personal ambitions or
sectional interests above the general
interests, would be perilous.
The republican party has been out
of power for six years-the longest
period of the kind in the party's his
tory. Now and then it has lost con-
troll, but only for a brief season. In
each case it speedily recovered caua-
nimity, and came back.
Its latest loss of control grew prin-
cipally, but not altogether, out of di-
visions caused by the revision of the
tariff at special session of Congress
held in 1909. The party had been in
power since March 4, Iss7-so long
time it had grown little careless. 1t
had forgotten the value of harmony,
and the ACCESSIBILITY of settling diff.
ferenees within the household. The
result was the disaster of 1910, when
the democrats carried the House by an
enormous majority.
Nor did this disaster sober up the
republicans. They continued their
chickering's, and in 1912 deliberately di.
vided in the face Of the enemy, and
opened. Z passage for him to the eita-
del. There, ever since, the enemy has
been directing affairs.
If this bitter and protracted expert
ence does not operate at this time in
the interests of union and a coneen-
trated purpose, the republicans viii
advertise themselves as no longer
teachable. Factionism and turmoil,
with their attendants, renewed now,
in the face of last Aovember's man.
date and the present condition of the
country, would invite, and probably
receive, the emphatic condemnation Of
the electorate at the first opportunity.
The republican leadership is, in the
main, highly competent and expert
eneed, and will probably exert itself
in keeping with the opportunity that
has come to it.

"Talkin' Politics"

Used to be lot O. fun
Talkin' politics;
Piekin' candidates to run
An tippin' off their tricks.
CALM on our fellow men
To meet crucial test;
Maxim speeches now an then
To give the band rest.
Used to watch the banners CLEAN,
Shown portraits fine;
Used to make the eagle scream
In oratory fine.
Just one county could bring out
Roars of patriot pride.
Now we've got to think about
All the world so wide.
Now we've got to make each choice
With sincerest pains,
Often called to rest the voice
While We use our brains.
No bouquets too lightly won;
No more throwin' bricks!
Seems like work instead o. fun
Talkin' politics.

HEALTH BOOTH DRAWS
CROWDS AT FAIR

JACKSON, Tenn, Sept. II. (Spl.)-
Among those exhibits at the West Ten
nessee fair recognized by expert critics
for their educational value, the booth
of DR.. G. B. Crittenden, director of rural
sanitation in Madison county, operated
in connection with the Red Cross and
the Jackson nurses association, will
doubtless be considered one of the best.
This exhibit is being made at the fair
this week in lieu of the regular activi-
ties of these organizations as most of
the people with whom they work will
be reached by this attractive method
at the fair which Is expected to prepare
the way for greater development along
all lines represented by the booth.
DR.. Crittenden states hat more than
1000 pamphlets treating the prevention
and cure of the most common diseases
have been given out from the booth
during the first two days of the fair.
The attractive hand-painted posters
which line the walls of the booth have
caused many Of the spectators at the
fair to pause a moment amid the ex-
element and consider that question
which the authorities state is respon-
sible for a large number of preventable
deaths and a loss of thousands of dol
lars in this county each year. A series
Of posters are on display to demon
strate the precautionary measures to
prevent summer complaint" a disease
which DR.. Crittenden states Is entirely
p~reventable and which cost the lives
of Al babies In this county last year.

REFORMERS START OUT
TO CLEAN UP HELENA

HELENA, Ark. Sept. II. (Spl)-De-
Velopment or a public moral conscience
into the fathers and mothers Of Helena
as concerns the bringing up of their
children, of what is right and wrong,
was the keynote of an address of the
johns Episcopal church, at the second
meeting, Tuesday night, Of the Phillips
county good government club.
Rev. Blaisdell asked the question: rs
there any sense in a dance commencing
at IL O'Clock and continuing until 6 in
the morning." He called attention to
the fact that he had observed repeat
lettering about the courthouse square
at 10 O'Clock at night. He declared
there ought to be a curfew law in
forced.
Rev. Blaisdell said he had quietly
made investigation of conditions ex-
listing at certain hotels and that he had
secured convincing evidence that. some
places are conducted differently In the
future. He declared he had taken the
matter up VIII the proprietor of one
certain hotel and told him that he had
the evidence and should the condition
continue. the time was coming when
the places name would be made
known to the public.
~ - SNioNc ~
Helena among the boys and girls was
voiced by Alderman W. N. Straub, who
further stated that some action should
be taken to stop the sale of denatured
alcohol.
President W. W. Moore presided over
the meeting and just before adjourn =
ment 1t was unanimously voted to ask
the company Of both city and county
officials at the next regular meeting Of
the club.
A set of bylaws and constitution
presented by Maj. Quarles was &C
copied, The regular meeting nights
were fixed for each second and fourth
Tuesday nights of the month, with
membership dues of SO cents annually
and a membership fee Of so cents,
In perfecting the organization of The
club the following officers for the en-
suing year were elected: w. w. Moore
president; Rev. Charles. F. Blaisdell
| vice-president; f, w. Childers, secre
tary, and A, N. Tanner, treasurer.
