Men and Business
By RICHARD SPILLANE.
Ladies, beware!

LaQleS, De"dIS' --
From East Plymouth, Conn, comes
the news that Mrs. Ella McWoodson
may have a leg amputated. She car
ried her money in her stocking.
Some of the bills probably had
germs. Her leg became infected
Blood poisoning followed.
II women are not to learn the un-
wisdom of carrying their money in
the Lisle National or the Silk Trust
Co., they should at least make June
to October a closed season for that
foolish practice. Money. especially
bills, when much handled gathers
much filth. especially in summer,
when sweaty hands add to the nor
NAL accumulation. II you examined
a bank note-a much used one-un-
der a microscope you would under
stand. To put such bills next to the
skin and have them rub against the
flesh when the pores are open is to
invite trouble.
Bankers have not had opportun-
ity until now to do some good edu-
cational work to check the stocking
habit. In fact, some of them have
established Stocking rooms" in
their banks for the convenience Of
the ladies.
A bank is the place for money.
A stocking or behind the clock or
some secret hiding place is not.
There is far more money carried on
the person, per capita, today than
ever before in history. 1t is an in
vitation to extravaganza or to rob-
berry. Aside from that fact. money
would be safer and more mobile, and
be of public benefit If deposited in 4
bank, for the larger the volume of
bank deposits the more the banks
have to sustain business.
If by losing her leg Mrs. Ella Nc
Woodson happens to get the ladies
I, of the land 10 transfer their ac-
! counts from the Lisle, or Silk or
Cotton banks to real banks she will
have lost it In a good cause.

THE INVENTIVE MIND.

I have a friend whose working mind
is all of the inventive kind.
He has ideas OF every hue
and never lacks for something new.
Today he hit upon a scheme
for selling sugar by the ream;
tomorrow mayhap he'll disclose
a patent smeller for the nose.
Or else he'll plan to build, again.
a double e-barreled fountain pen
or have installed in every store
a rapidfire cuspidor-
It's true this man may chase his bent
and never make a blooming cent.
but still he's apt to strike II right
and coin some money over night.

BROWSING Round in Political Circles

By LABERT ST. CLAIR.

Political patriots in all parts Of
the country are discussing the value
Of silence with such fervor these
days that one might be tempted to
think that the worlds greatest
magazine Of humor. the Congress
sional Record, soon will be a thing
of the past. OF course. il won't be.
and politicians who endorse silence
so strongly probably will talk most
when the opportunity offers. but
their present discussions are inter
esting anyhow.
The experience of Senator Hard
ing in landing the Republican nom
ination largely by keeping quiet
while others stirred up turbulent
political seas with statements of all
kinds. is the greatest tribute of re-
cent years to the soft pedal. Bob
Armstrong, a smart publicity man.
who had charge OF Harding's cam
paign. is largely responsible for, the
Republican nominees noncommittal
attitude, but this feat detracts moth
ing from Harding. He paid Arm
strong for good advice and got II.
When the time came in Chicago
to break the deadlock, the big boys
who put Harding over looked for a
candidate who had the fewest en-
emies. And, as almost every state
ment any candidate makes angers
someone, they looked we'll into the
Harding statements and found them
mighty scarce. This fact proved a
big consideration in Harding's Sc.
lection.
The situation in San Francisco
was similar, though in a less de-
gree. II any one thing weakened
McAdoo more than any other 1t was
his issuance of a statement just
before the convention assembled
that he did not want the nomina-
ton. Whether he cared IL such a
statement weakened him Is imma-
terial.. but the fact remains that
very large percentage of the dele
gates took the statement literally.
and one of the most difficult tasks
which McAdoo's friends faced was
explaining why a man who did not
want a nomination should be forced
to take It.
Cox issued only a statement or
Two. but they were enough to show
MIN and his managers the error Of
their ways. One. on the booze ques-
tfon. appeared to lose him the sup
port OF Tammany for a day or two
and made his friends very panicky.

caused Cox's friends some gloomy
hours.
Newspaper men are playing some
mighty important roles in politics
this year. not only among the can
didates, but also among their back
ers. Besides having two newspaper
men running for President, we have
the situation of newspaper men
practically dominating the conven-
tions.
At Chicago Senator Medill McCor-
mick. William Allen White, George
Harvey and Henry Allen played big
parts. The actual wording of the
platform adopted by the Republic
ans is very largely the work OF
Harvey and Mccormick and White
read copy on it in the committee.
And in the campaign to come.
these two men will be called upon
frequently to aid Senator Harding
not only because they can do their
work we'll. but because their pres
ence will help attract Progressives
who now are inclined to regard
Harding as not exactly one of their
kind Mccormick will go through
with his part of the game with A
will because he is a very practical
politician without too keen a sense
Of humor. but Bill White, whose hu-
NOR is excelled by that of no man
in America, probably will chuckle
an additional fifteen pounds on him
self when he thinks of his doing
chores for a standpat candidate. But
he will perform. for he has said he
would.
over on the Democratic side of the
newspaper fence is found Carter
Glass, who doubtless will carry a
/ big load in the Democratic fold. as
he did in San Francisco: George
Creel, who wrote much Of the Demo-
cratic platform and Homer Cum
mings' very good speech to the con-
vention: Clark Howell, head of the
Georgia delegation. whose switch to
| Cox landed him the nomination; Sec
retaries Daniels and Meredith and
many others.
What is more remarkable than 1.-the
fact that these newspaper men are
in politics is that almost all Of then,
are self-made men. The only one
who Inherited great wealth Is Nc
Cormick, and at that he always has
! worked as hard at his profession as
II he had not a cent in the world
White and Allen are former report
ers: Glass and Daniels got their
start setting type. So with most of
the rest CT the newspaper crowd.

and beers. The politicians had told
him so.
Hurry down to Trenton" said his
employers, "and get Edwards into
the race"
Edwards proved receptive when
told of the nationwide demand for
a man of his views, and he was put
into the race.
Back in Washington, with the heat
of the convention past, the man who
did the survey of the country told
me that while there seemed to be
little support for the liquor propo-
sition in the convention, he was
convinced that the folks wanted
light wines and beer. And William
Jennings Bryan told me after the
convention that he was convinced
the folks wanted a bone dry plank.
The majority of politicians think the
folks want just what they get in
both platforms nothing.
Hon. Obadiah Dubb says he hopes
that IL Harding is elected. he will
not supplant President Wilson'S
flock of White House sheep with
