STANDPATTERS MUST SIT.

The presidential campaign of 1920
promises to be one of political surprises.
1t opened with the regulars of each of
the major parties casting about for
candidate from their ranks and the at
tempt to fill the field with fayorite sons
so the oldtimers could collect in conven-
tion and select man of their own stamp.
The complete failure of this plan in both
parties is evident. The Democrats have
no real candidate, but are waiting for the
decision of President Wilson regarding a
fight for a third term. There are some
of the regular Democrats like Champ
Clark and Attorney General Palmer who
want the nomination, but thus far there
has been no decisive move for or against
them. The Republican effort to camou-
flage the situation with favorite sons has
completely failed. Many have been sug-
gested, but the party has quietly been
endorsing Major General Wood whose
managers claim a very strong lead for
him.
Now comes the announcement that a
Hoover National Republican club is prac-
tically organized in New York city and
this week is expected to bring a nation
wide movement for him. Neither General
Wood nor Mr.. Hoover can be called regu-
lars, the latter defining himself as IAN
Independent progressive" Mr.. Hoover
has been discussed as much as any man
for the Democratic nomination and many
of his friends believe that should the Re-
publicans nominate him many Democrats
would vote for him. Wood and Hoover
loom largest today as Republican candi-
dates.
This shows that the regulars or stand
patters Of the Republican party are not
able to control their party or name its
candidate, also that the Democrats may
not be able to hold their members in
/ line. One reason for this is the subor-
dination of old party lines in legislatine
during the late war; The Democrats
have deserted their championship of state
rights and have given the country the
most completely centralized government
1t has ever had. The Republicans have
withdrawn their opposition to many
Democratic proposals ''to win the war;
The oldtimers of each party are too much
irresponsible for the enormous BODY OF
government employees and wartime ex.
penses to respond to the demands of the
day. The country is tired of paying their
hordes of political subordinates holding
government jobs and is looking for 9
man free from political entanglements
who can put the knife fearlessly but
justly to the seat of the political disease
and give the country cheaper, NOR,
healthy and efficient government. /
knows the standpatters will not do thi.
and it looks to the more independent mel
like Wood and Hoover. 1t is too early
to say who will win the nomination
but it is evident the standpatters mus
sit down and let another kind of MAJ
take the bat.

Connecticut, indorsing suffrage in its
{. .. /. state convention, but refusing BY
its Republican governor to back its fair
words with deeds, is not improving its
standing with the alert women of the
country. Wooden nutmegs and gold
bricks belong in the same class.

the householder from Vermont who sent

OF holes certainly needs an education in
cosmopolitanism." Somehow this re-
minds us of the New Yorker who came
up in 'sugarin" time expecting to go out
and pick the sugar cakes off the trees.

The town hall of Dandy was burned to
the ground last week because someone
dropped lighted cigar or cigarette in a
sawdust filled spittoon. The smoker who
drops such things about without being
sure they are where they will not be dan
gerous is guilty of fragrant carelessness.
but it also might be well for the rural
districts to begin to equip their halls OF
fame with fireproof cuspidors.

the sales.
Object of the Sales.
The direct object of the sale of Seals
is to assist in the fight on tuberculosis.
The yearly deaths from this disease
In the State have been reduced from
5,113 in 1911 to 1876 In 1919, due
largely to the work of education and
prevention carried on by the Missouri
tuberculosis Association. With the
momentum already acquired, and the
experience Of the past ten years as a
guide, DIR. Miller Thinks It will be pos
sible 10 so reduce the mortality that
the disease will be practically wiped
out in a few decades.
Health and School Week.
The observance of Health and School
Week, rs officially designated in a
proclamation by Governor Gardner, is
begun with appropriate sermons in all
churches in the State. A statewide
Health Poster Contest, with three
grand prizes, ten state prizes and $50
district prizes, conducted by the Mis-
souri, tuberculosis Association and
open to all school children of the State,
with five classes, ranging from high
school to first and second grades, is
also announced.
There will be a Health Play, to be
given in the schools, and health films
and songs, with special lessons and
exercises for the purpose Of directing
attention TO the importance of santa
ton and hygiene in the home. One
day will be designated as Clinic Day,
and on that day eminent physicians
and dentists have offered their serv-
ices free to those who wish TO take
examination.
Sale Of Seals.
The sale Of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals will begin December l and close
December "a. The seals this year are
from a very attractive design. They
are sold for a penny each and come
In sheets, so the purchaser can buy
as many as desired in convenient form.
In addition, an attractive Health Bond,
In regular bond form, with coupons
and everything, will be sold for So. OF
course, the dividends" represented
