party. Politics was reduced to person
atty. In the House, il Adams fought
for an appropriation for the State De
partment, Crawford and Calhoun
would strangle it. When Crawford
wanted to put his hand in the till, Cal
houn and Adams were pitted against
him to the death.
The fight for the Presidency pro-
ceeded, filled with intrigue, SANDER

SANDER and political back-biting is
too long to be told here. 1t requires

political struggle will appear in The

Similar Political Fight
One Hundred Years Ago
FIVE CANDIDATES FOUGHT FOR
PLAcE-cHOIcE FINALLY WAS
THROWN INTO CONGRESS
BY Edward Percy Howard

Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John
C. Calhoun, John Quincy Adams and
William H. Crawford, men whose
names are on the tongue tip of every
American schoolboy formed the gum
tette that one hundred years ago
started in the race for the Presidency
Of the United States, fight which
ended in four of the five going to the
people with the result that the cleo
ton was thrown into the House of
Representative the result many per-
sons fear will ensue from the coming
voting in November.
1t is a significant fact that the cen
fury has rounded out only to put the
country face to face with political
situation analogous in many years ago
all the candidates pretended at least
to be of one political faith The great
battle was for the vote of the State
of New York, then as now, and the
territory about which nervousness was
felt was that of the Middle West. Also
one Of the candidates was from New
England.
Each sof the candidates had a re-
markable record of public service, the
life of each being filled with achieve
ment which made the contest one of
dramatic perhaps the bitter
est fight in the history of the nation.
Crawford Great Man
The man whose name is least
known today entered the list with the
advantage over all the others Will
liam H. Crawford. Maligned, and
brought down to the present genera
ton as political trickster, Crawford
stood in life as a man of great in
tegrity and of more than usual abil-
ity. Crucified on the cross of unscru-
pulous politics, the victim of outra-
geous ISLANDERS at the hands of Adams,
Crawford is seen today in a light so
false that it will take generations to
place him where he properly belongs.
He was one of the foremost construc-
tive thinkers when he served in the
United States Senate. He made pro
found impression on the thinking in
terests of the country as Secretary of
the Treasury in the Cabinet of Mon
roe. As a diplomat in France he dis
played unusual acumen and tact. In
deed, he was SO beloved in the coun
try in 1916 that he could have been
elected over Monroe has he cared to

How to Use New PyrotoI
HOW SHOULD PYRoToL THE
NEW WAR-SALvAGE EXPLO
SIvE BE USED?

John Swenehart, explosive expert at
the Wisconsin College of Agriculture,
answers many of the questions about
Pyrotol which thousands of Wisconsin
farmers will be asking the next month
or two.
/. What is Pyrotol? 1t is an explo-
sive prepared from surplus war mater
ials for stump and stone blasting.
2. Is it safe? Yes. OF course any ex-
plosive should be handled carefully.
8. Will it do good work? Yes. A car
fridge under ordinary conditions prop
erly used does the same work as a
cartridge of dynamite or sodatol.
4. Will Pyrotol freeze? No. Will Ply
rotol stain hands? No.
5. Will Pyrotol cause headaches? It
is almost non-headache Much less
than most regular dynamites, but ex-
plosive should not be removed from
wrapper and handled with bare hands.
6. What kind of cap is needed? An
ordinary No. 6 blasting cap will ex-
plode Pyrotol. Either fuse or electric
caps may be used.
7. How is Pyrotol packed? Pyrotol
is packed in cartridges the same size
as ordinary dynamite, but it is more
bulky than sodatol and runs a greater
number of cartridges per 100 pounds.
5. How must Pyrotol be used? It is
used in the sameway as ordinary dy-
Mantle or sodatol. General instruc-
tons are packed in each case.

express even the thought of such a
thing. Devoid of political intrigue,
however, he set the suggestion firmly
aside only to be blackened in charac-
ter by his political enemies.
The Other Candidates
Then there was Adams, who had dis
tinguished himself in foreign lands, in
the Senate and as Secretary of State
the man of courage, conviction and
dominating personality. And Andrew
Jackson, popular hero following his
great victory at New Orleans. They
were powerful contenders. Henry
Clay, then Speaker of the House, mag
netic, popular, dignified, broad-mind
ed, master at political manipulation
with host of youth behind him be-
cause of his effort to lead the nation
to war with England. The record of
John G. Calhoun made him also a
dangerous contender. Secretary of
war in the Cabinet with Adams and
Crawford he had proved himself a
statesman of outstanding ability.

When historians write of the three
great periods of barbarous develop
ment, the stone age, bronze age and
iron age, they will say:
"The full industrial development
of the iron age, reached at about the
year 1000 of the period humorously
called the Christian Era" may per-
haps be called the beginning of civil
cation.
''Men had developed faint ideas of
right and wrong. But while they had
begun to leave their great fortunes to
education and science instead of seek
ing to bribe their deity and buy eter-
nal bliss for their own worthless
souls, they retained the worst features
of earlier barbarism. The discoveries
of science in chemistry and physics
were used for war murder on a gigan-
tic scale.
'The dregs of the race committed
murder with their own hands. The so
called upper classes lived in sameful
luxury, utterly Indifferent to poverty
disease and ignorance around them.
They even herded young children of
the poor into factories and mills, grind
ing them into profits for their own
use.
"On the whole, that eliminating per
iod of the iron age was inferior in
dignity and decency to the stone age.

The scientific world notes the dis
covery in France of a new anaesthetic
called "sommifaire. With no bad af
ter effects this anaesthetic makes
possible the longest operations. It is
injected into the blood, causes the
patient to remain half conscious for
thirty hours, which is excellent for
major operations.
It is hard to believe as you read of
scientific methods for avoiding pain
that when anaesthetics were first
used they were savagely denounced
as works of the devil. Earnest preach
ers declared that God WANTED us
to suffer and it was sin to thwart
His divine will.

Captain Kidd would turn over III

modern piracy which comes from rum
row, off the New Jersey coast. There
modern brigand boarded rum
laden schooner put the crew in irons,
and boldly sailed to rum row and sold
$4,000 worth of liquor to smugglers.
Both the Canadian and United States
governments have been asked~to hunt
the pirates.
The schooner Lutzen was SO hours
out OF Montreal Canada, when the
pirates hove into sight. The captain
and crew of the Lutzen were put in
irons and pirate crew manned the
schooner. The pirates then painted
out the name OF the ship and sailed
for rum row.
After selling their liquor there they
hailed tug and were taken to shore,
where they disappeared The crew OF
the Lutzen worked loose and called
for help. An airplane was sent out to
find the pirate ship, but it, too, had
disappeared.

PERMANENT SLASH
IN TAXES FAR OFF
QUESTION ENMESHED IN POL
ITICS AND IMMEDIATE RE-
LIEF NOT PROBABLE.


The situation at Washington re-
garding tax legislation may be gath
cred from the following extracts from
an article by David Lawrence the
well-known political writer for a num-
Der OF the more prominent daily news
papers of the country:
Tax legislation so lar as it affects
incomes received during the year IVA
is likely to be postponed until next
autumn. The Joint resolution proWd-
ing for reduction in 1928 incomes,
payable this year, will be passed much
sooner.
almost overnight the outlook for
the passage OF a comprehensive reve-
nue. bill has changed. The coalition
between the democrats and the m
surgcnt republicans has resulted III
the framing OF bill which from the
viewpoint OF the treasury will Gre
ate a deficit and, therefore, must be
vetoed Unless the senate rewr1tes the
measure-and that is not likely to
happen until after months OF debate
the chances are tax revision Will be
the paramount issue before the people
in the coming campaign. Everything
from now on will be done with view
to political advantage in the battle at
the polls. Instead of going to the
country with bill for which both
democrats and republicans could claim
credit, the two parties will blame one
another and ask for support so that a
new tax bill can be passed.
In No Particular Hurry.
The delay in enacting new reve-
nue. law, OF course interferes consid-
erably with the plans Of business con-
Germs and individuals who are max
ing their expenditures and invest
ments during 1924, but inasmuch as
tax payments on this years income
are not due until March, 1925, con-
gress is in no particular hurry about
rushing revenue bill through. y y
The nub OF the situation is that
the reduction on 1923 incomes is go
ing to be effective sometime during
the present year, but that congress
will not finish consideration OF the
main revenue act until the November
elections are at hand.
THE number OF things inserted III
the pending bill Objectionable to the
administration is Increasing and
whereas a week ago some doubt eX-
listed whether the chief executive
would dare veto the measure, the
word from administration quarters is
that he will not hesitate to do so as
the democrats and insurgent republi-
cans have emasculated the original
measure and made it unavoidable from
the treasury viewpoint.
The broad ground that the pending
bill will not produce enough revenue
to run the government is considered
sufficient by the administration to at
tack any bill and though the opposi-
ton may present figures tending to
disprove that claim, the administration
feels it will be supported by pre-
ponderant opinion because OF the con-
troversy and doubt that will have
been developed"

Liner, Not Heart, Is
Held as Seat of LoOe
United States Doctors Assertion Strs
Scientific Circles of Paris.

An American doctors assertion that
one loves with ones liver and not
with ones heart has created a sensa-
ton in Paris scientific circles, says a
Paris dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American.
The Renaissance, Welghty revue
published the following;
IAN American doctor, who IS also
a realist; has just demonstrated, alter
multiplied experiences, that our vio-
lent or tender sentiments are born IN
the cells OF our liver, and that the
LESSONS in our liver correspond to va
riations in the density OF our capacity
for love"
French doctors chortled with JOY
when they saw the possibilities IN the
American discovery.
Professor Riviere, one OF the most
famous diabetes specialists in the
world, said that the American dis
covery" was pure fantasy.
"Incontestably," he said, the liver
plays large role in human economy.
But all the emotional centers are act
uated by the refexcs provoked by the
moelliar cells
The liver has nothing to do with
it, but the stomach frequently has,

MEAT FIGURES RUN
HIGHEST IN HISTORY
CONSUMPTION FOR THE YEAR
PLACED AT 18,481 100000 LBS.
1857 LBS. PER PERSON.

Production and consumption OF
meat was the greatest in American
history last year. A recent estimate
| BY the L. S. department OF agricul-
ture places the consumption at lS.-
4Sl 100000 pounds Detailed estimates
OF production. however, were not
made public
The per capita consumption was
167 pounds, or 17.3 pounds more than
in 1922. and was exceeded only once
before, in 1908. when 1903 pounds
per capita were consumed. Total con-
sumption was 2,0O0,000,000 pounds
over the average for the last five years
agd the per capita consumption was
Is pounds over the average. Ninety
per cent OF the increase was repre-
scented by pork products.
Beef consumed during the year to-
tailed 6,Q18,000,000 pounds, veal $751;
100000. mutton and lamb 574O00,OOO,
goat meat 100000 and pork 10, u.s.
100000 pounds. The per capita con-
sumption was: Beef 625 pounds, veal
70, mutton and lamb 81, and pork,
excluding lard, Ola pounds. Lard con-
sumption was 164 pounds per capita,
Alter the heavy increase in meat
exports during the war there was a
precipitous drop in the trade the de
partmcnt OF agriculture said, but 1928
saw a decided improvement, most OF
the business being in pork products,
chiefly in bacon and hams. The total
meat exports for the year were 969,-
100000 pounds, an increase of 20
100000 pounds over the preceding
wear. Ali but 35.0O0,OOO pounds of the
meat exported was pork.

The moment this sulphur preparation
