Next Wednesday, in Fifth Ave-
nue. salesroom, New York will see
auctioned off the blood-stained red
velvet chair in which Elwell was
murdered, and, far more interest
ing, the mirror that saw and re-
Elected the murder. One morbid
person will buy the chair. An
other will buy the mirror. and
wonder whom it saw and what it
saw when the tired gambler was
separated from his thirteen little
wigs.
That mirror is like Time, which
sees everything, forgets every
thing, keeps no record Of all that
it has seen. Mirrors Of glass may
last thousand years; they clear
themselyes- Of Iedectinn2 good and
bad.

Swiney still is alive. He sleeps
only thyee hours at night. In his
dreadful experience there is les
son and information for those that
live unwisely.
McSwiney can do with little
sleep because he needs only enough
to rest and recharge his nervous
battery. If he were eating he
would need four to five hours more
sleep to complete the process Of
digestion.
There is no perfect, complete di-
gestion except in the later hours
of a good nights sleep. That is
why Napoleon, who boasted that
he could do without sleep, died
young of painful ulcers Of the
stomach, and that is why the dis
sipated man who cuts short his
sleep to provide more time for
vice shows his habits in his face.
Eight hours for work, eight
hours for thinking and studying,
with reasonable amusement in
cluded; eight hours for sleep to
recharge the nerves and complete
digestion-that should be the pro-
gram.

Johnson and Borah and their
friends have expected no quarter
from Penrose. nor is to be expected
that they will give him any. But
from the Johnson -Borah camp there
came the ultimatum today that Pen

Pcnrosc's adherents here declare he
will be heard from often during the
coming month. He has leased a
house at Atlantic City. where he rro-
poses to maintain headquarters.
There he VII receive the Republi
can leaders friendly TO him while the
arrangements for the Chicago con-
vcntion next month are being COM
pleted. The telephone will enable
him to talk with those unable to
make pilgTimages to the seaside re-
sort.
The lease on the Atlantic City House
does not expire for a month. Penrose
is expected to remain there for that
lenStn OF time, ConleTrlHB ana pan
ming with other leaders of the Old
Guard for what he and they propose
to do toward controlling the Repub-
lican convention and naming the man
they deem best to be the Republican
candidate for President.
The Atlantic City House will un-
doubtedly be closely watched by po-
litical leaders of all parties and fac
tions in the hope that some hint may
be dropped there from time to time of
the all-important moves Penrose and
his Republican associates plan to
make at Chicago.

South Dakota, a veteran OF the recent
war. Johnson returned from service
after obtaining . leave OF absence
from Congressional duties, and he
came back a captain OF a Maryland
regiment and with Distingulshed
Service Cross and a CroiN de Guerre.
As the campaign comes to close.
the heads OF the Wood managers are
serene, but their hearts are jumpy.
while the hearts OF the Johnson peo-
Pile are alight VITA hope, but their
heads canot shake on fear. The rea-
son for this Is that. according TO all
the regular political dope, General
Wood should make mincemest OF Sem
Ator Johnson. but neither side is GER
tain that the dope Is not wrong. The
same dope was the order In Michigan
and New Jersey, and. until the last
few days. in Nebraska, and 1t went
wrong.
Popular Vote In Doubt.
Observers here believe that under
tho county-unit system of direct pri-
marles, which prevails In this state
General Wood may win the States del
egation. But no unbiased person feels
certain about what will happen In the
popular vote.
It is possible for one candidate TO
win the State convention and thus
win the delegation TO Chicago, while
the other candidate may win the ma
jority OF the mass vote.
or course, IL Senator johnson wins
the popular vote and loses the dele
cation, General Wood will get little
satisfaction out OF capturing the lat
ter. The moral effect upon the two
camps in the nationwide night would
be almost the same as IL johnson also
had won the delegation.
In the interest over the Republican
Presidential primary little attention
has been paid to the Congressional
fights. The Democrats have lights In
the First district between T. Alan
Goldsborough and Hilton w. Robert
son; in the Second between Carville
ID. Benson and Samuel c. Appleby. and
in the Fifth, between Walter b. Dor
sey. John r. Riggles, Frank o. Smith,
J. william Klemm, and Thomas
KHnger. Congressman Coady and
Linthicum. in the Third and Fourth,
and State Senator Mish, in the Sixth,
are unopposed.
The Republicans have a fight be-
tween DR.. Walter Il. Knickman and
william o. Atwood in the Fourth dis
trict. In the Second Linwood l. Clark
Is on the ticket as against Albert A.
