THE INSANITY
EPIDEMIC

It looks as if the 'insani-
ty epidemic might claim
more victims than the flu
First came the cubists
who painted women without
eyes, ears, nose, or mouth,
and birds without head,
wings or tail. We called
the cubists "the limit, but
that was before we heard
about the hunger strikers.
The latest is a preacher
back east who has gone on a
hunger strike because his
daughter won't join church.
He says he won't eat a bite
till his daughter is CONVEX
ted to his faith. We might
suggest that the young wo-
man go on a hunger strike
till her father RECEIVERS from
his severe attack of insanity,
but it wouldn't do any good.
We wouldn't like to see the
young lady starve to death,
and it looks as if a man who
would go on a strike like
that were beyond recovery.

Sometimes politicians re-
serve their "big" argument
till the last thing before
election. 1t isn't sportsman
like. If charges are to be
brought against the opposi-
ton, these charges should
be made public in time for
the parties concerned to
make their ''rebuttal" The

uganda should be founded

campaign when one or more

M'ADCo STRENGTH GROWS

Now that his name is before the con- vertion, nothing seems likely to pre- vent his nomination, except a state n'ent from him that he will decline to run if nominated. He has gained Strongly in every one of the big dele- Eat;ons which the state leaders hoped to head against him. In the demonstra- ton which took place after his nomina- tion, the Illinois banner went about the hall. This did not indicate that Hi rcis was for him, but rather that he had at least a sufficient body of dele- gates for him in Illinois to get pos session of the standard and carry it about the hall. McAdoos strength in the Missouri delegation showed itself in 2 fight over the standard of that state. Tn the struggle the banner was de- stroyed.
 Tn Pennsylvania there are many del- egates who want to vote for Mr. Me- Adoo as soon as Palmer is eliminated.
 New York has McAdoo votes which will come to him after supporting Gov erpor Smith for awhile. Taggart hopes to be senator from Indiana and he ;shes his states vote to be cast for the winner. It is impossible to, figure the two thirds vote for McAdoo at present, but>the will of the convention is plain. And the weakness of those who seek to deadlock it and prevent McAdoos nomination is equally ob. vicus.
 SPIRIT WAS EXTRAORDINARY
 The spirit of the convention was ex- traordinary. The delegates and the galleries did not tire. They were as gay and full of energy at o'clock as they haSs been when they took their seats at H. They enjoyed themselves every moment of seven hours of dull cratory. This was partly due to the physical comfort of cool. well-ven- tilated hall. Heat and bad air ex- hausted the energy of all at Chi cago.
 And 1t was largely due to the music in the auditorium which has a splen- did pipe organ. For moving masses of men. for giving depth and volume to the demonstration, an organ is tre- n,endous1y more effective than a band. The organ tones seemed to gather up

ms McAdoo demonstration did not include majority of the delegates, hut It dld Involve more than partici- rated in the parades following the naming of either Palmer or Cox. It sy ept over the galleries as neither the Palmer nor Cox demonstrations had. It had an electric quality about 1t that neither of the big rival dem onstrations had, and it bore little sign of having been organized. The cheer ing and parading that followed the presentation of Gox's name was the most elaborately organized. That which followed the naming of Palmer Was of the familiar we must make a record for our candidate" variety. , There was an emotional quality about the McAdoo display that was lacking in the others.
 The convention means to nominate McAdoo. The galleries want it and expect it to nominate McAdoo. One could not read what happened in any other light Dr. Jenkins statement that MT. McAdoo would be drafted came alter a day of rumors, doubts and con- ferences. Plans were changed more than once. At one time it was intend- e6 formally to nominate the ex-Secre- tary. At another time an effort was made to write statement which would assure the convention MT. McAdoo would accept if nominated. But finally pr. Jenkins made only brief declar- ation to the delegates of an intention to draft his candidate. The report was that MT. McAdoo had sent another tel egram to his supporters directing that his name should not be presented to the convention. This story was de- ned by them. But there was every in- dication that they spent some anxious hours before finally announcing the in- tcnton to draft their man.

5ign Exchange
 Market Nervous
New Minimum Rates Made By French, Belgian, Italian, Spanish and Greek Ex- changes.

New York, Nov. 1.-The foreign ex- change market as expressed in terms of the American dollar was again extremely nervous today, denoting in greater meas ure the paramount position of this coun- try's as the worlds sole creditor na- tion.'
 Heavy offerings of grain and cotton bills caused the British or sterling rate to fall to $3.35 1-4 for demand bills as against the pre-war quotation of $4.S6 ,5-S. Todays low was 1-2 cents under the recent best but considerably over the low record of last February, when Sterling fell to $3.1S.
 New minimum rates were made by French, Belgian, Ita;,1n, Spanish and Greek exchange, further demroalization was reported in all the Central and South American markets, and American dollars rose sharply in Canada.
 Exchange on the Scandinavian coun- tries also was heavy and in some in- stances dealers declined to quote prices of bills to several new eastern European war created nations.
 Private advices from London were to the effect that no immediate relief from existing exchange conditions in England and France is probable. The same ad- vices attributed the weakness of French rates to heavy purchases of American cotton.
