DR.. BARTON'S
DAILYLETTER
A TIME TO DANCE.
By DR.. Vim. E. Barton.


NOV comes Henry Morgenthau and
' tells US why he became a polite
ian, and why a good many other
things happened or did not happen.
He says among other things that
/ Champ Clark and not Woodrow Will
son would have been nominated by
the Democratic convention in Balti-
more and elected by the people in the
following November if the Missouri
| delegation had not wasted 55 minutes
in snake-dance just when they
should have been punching their hits.
Champ Clark was a popular candi-
date, and much better known then
than Woodrow Wilson No one had
heen singing about Wilson:
Every time | come to town,
The boys keep kicllin' my dawg
aroun';
Makes no difference if he is a houn',
They gotta quit kickin' my dog
aroun'."
You probably remember the hound
dawg song. Men have been nomi.
mated and elected president of the
United States for reasons not much
better than that some such song
might be sung in their honor.
But Champ Clark did not receive
the nomination. The Democratic
convention, unlike the Republican,
requires two-thirds vote to nomi-
nate.
Until 1912 there had been no in
stance, since that of Stephen A.
Douglas in 1860, in which d man who
got majority Of votes in a Demo
cratic convention failed of che ulti-
mate two-thirds.
So the Missouri delegation in
dulged in SIS minutes of hilarity just
at the wrong time The tenth bal
lot gave Champ his majority. Had
his followers given three cheers and
forced another ballot at once, lie
might have been nominated on that
vote or the next.
But in that fatal So minutes, The
chance was lost. The enemies of
Clark united ION Wilson, and the
world was made more or less safe
for the Democratic party.
Solomon said there was Il time to
dance and time not to dance. There
is time to pay the fiddler and go
home
Men who have attended political
conventions will agree that there Is
too much waste of time in sheer
horse-play and not enough appeal to
good sense.
There is time when men ought
not to dance.

SULPHUR IS BEST
To CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN
A

Any breaking out or skin irritation
on face, neck or body is overcome
quickest by applying Mentho-Sul-
phur, says a noted skin specialist.
Because of its germ destroying prop
critics, nothing has ever been found
to take the place of this sulphur
preparation that instantly brings ease
from the itching, burning and irrita-
ton.
> Mentho-S Sulphur heals eczema

smooth. 1t never fails to relieve the
torment or Disagreement. A little
jar of entho-Sulphur may be OBJ
tanned at any drug store. It Is used
like cold cream.
