posed to keep hands off" The activ-
tiles Of the party committees are sup
posed to begin after the party candi-
date has been selected in the pr-
maries.
There is no law now regarding can
didates for the Senate. either regard
ing the primaries or the election. A
bill was passed by the Senate. but not
in time for action by the House re-
latinG to receipts and expenditures At
elections OF senators and representa-
tives. A like bill was considered and
reported by the House committee or

the next session, after the November
elections.

Neither of these bills could deal
with the question of primaries in view
OF the Supreme Court decision, be-
cause Congress does noq have juris-
dtction over the primaries held under
state laws. In order TO reach expen-
diturss in primaries Il would be nee
esnsry to amend the Constitution en-
towering Congress to deal with the
subject as we'll as to deal with CAM
paiEn expenditures at elections.
The reason that practically all can
didates for the House have filed their
statements is to forestall any possible
court action which some aggrieved
person might institute. looking to 4
review Of the matter in the Supreme
Court eventually, which might cause
a clearer, less ambiguous decision OF
that court to be rendered. There are
those who are looking for a chance
TO get a Supreme Court decision that
will set at rest any question as TO
whether or not the decision in the
Newberry case did invalidate the laws
in SO far as they related to the pri-
maries.

German Dog Fat
For Consumption

The sale throughout Germany OF
an alleged new specific named Hip
pocratic Anti-Tuberculous Mixture"
has afforded the clue to the mys-
terious disappearance Of numbers Of
valuable dogs which during the past
two years have been missing from
private residences in Berlin. Bres!au,
Dresden. Frankfort and other towns,
the Berlin correspondent OF the Lon
don Express says.
During this time advertisements
appeared regularly in the various
newspapers drawing attention to q
new remedy for tuberculosis. These
were iserted by a man named Kemm-
chen, employed as a steward on an
estate at Rostow, near Brandenburg.
Kemmchen, who established agencies
all over the country, realized, it Is
said. q profit Of more than f1,600
from the sale Of his specific, which,
attractively packed and labeled. he
sold for IS per tin.
Among his clients was the judge Of
the supreme court at Breslau, whose
two hounds had also been stolen. The
Judge, struck by the curious odor Of
the contents Of the tin of the much
advertised specific. had an analysis
made of it, with the result that it's
real nature was discovered. It con-
sisted merely of dogs fat.
Kemmchen was arrested in his lab
oratory at Brandenburg, where. as
sisted by his wife and daughter. he
was busily engaged in the prepara-
ton Of further supplies Of his "spe-
ciflc." He has been sentenced to

Their mass action for Joy is the soul
of tho Hippodrome show. It is pretty
much the handspring Of the various
follies. Every year sees the beauty
Of these spectacles increasing. and
chiefly because the soul OF them is
getting bigger and brighter, the
heart Of them flied more and more
with delight. The sordid, Shiny,
stupid sex appeal Of their dramatic
forebears is slumping of, as the pub
no is, seeking joy and not mere sex
thrills. The bankers and the base
ball fans who were In New York

dramatic entertainment, crowded into
the theaters producing the better type

TWO recent acts of President
Harding appear. according to
results of soundings made
lately in various quarters. to
have stabilized conditions favorable
10 the adminitration. One OF these
was the veto of,the bonus bill. the
other the appointment of former Sem
a.or Sutherland to tho United States
Supreme Court.
Unquestionably these two determi-
nations Of policy carried Into e1-
feet by the chief executive have had
an appreciable effect In allaying a.
certain uneasiness which had been
growing up in influential republican
circles, due to the pacific course OF
the President in the railway and
coal strikes.

adent distressed many Of his sup
porters In his handling of the strikes.

Men who keep their fingers on tho

ninistration. The veto of the bonus

people since that veto was written.
and the overwhelming judgment as
expressed has been in favor Of It
That dictum was voiced on the ground
of the economic reasons advanced by
the President and did not indicate
antipathy to the proposed benefic-
Iaries Of the bonus. In 1t might be
said, in every instance, was uttered
the hearty and whole-souled express
sion Of sincere sympathy with the
.disabled veterans Of the world war;

In contact with business and flnan-
oial mon In Now York last week, the
writer received the conviction that
the most conservative thought OF
directing the great enterprise Of
the country is that President Hard
ing has stamped himself as an ex-
eoutive Of far-seeing power. Of great
courage and as a man of exceptional
disoernment of the course. which
possibly not fraught with political
advantage for the moment, yet is
for the best good OF the country.

In tho selection OF Mr.. Sutherland
for tho supreme bench the President
is classed as having shown clear
Judgment. Mr.. Sutherland has been
president Of tho American Bar Asso-
clation. which is the last word in
tho way Of professional Endorsement.
That means he Is regared as a great
lawyer, tho drst necessity of being

lawyers Of the land who have
worked with him and recognize his

in its decisions, takes into account
the intent and purpose of Congress in

called upon to question as to It's

in appointing Mr.. Sutherland, has
chosen q man Of conservative ten

While writing about Impressions
received in financial and business
circles, It might not be out Of place
to refer to the state Of mind in which
those quarters have been thrown by

tho farmers bloc in Congresa
It IL almost comical to note the
alarm and distress which prevails
about the bloc which the farmers

Association was meeting in the great

New York did everything for tho
bankers but get out the militia and
tho fire department And in return
the visiting bankers did their bit
for New York. The hotels Of the great
city were crowded: the theaters were
jammed. Fifth avenue was filed as it
rarely fills with strangers. For the
bankers met other thousands from
the country who came in to SOC the
big ball games. New York crowds go
quickly to their objectives These
great throngs from the outlands
idled along Broadway and became
