VERMONT HOLDING
 PARTY CONVENTION
Cummings, Slated to Speak,
 Unable to Attend

Montpelier, Vt. May 2o.---Choice Of an uninstrueted delegation to the democratic national convention was anticipated by party leaders at the democratic state convention here to- day. Homer s. Cummings Of stam- ford, Conn, former chairman of the democratic national committee, was on the program but did not appear and the temporary chairman was James r. Leary Of Rutland.
 Names Governor smith.
 James A. Hamilton, secretary of state of New York, addressing the convention, said that the party needed "an intelligent, human and inspira- tional leader to carry 10 victory the banner Of democracy" and named Governor Smith of New York as such a candidate for president.
 Tn i9l9." said Mir. Hamilton, "there was diabolical and absolutely nntruthfnl propaganda against Presi- dent Wilson and his courageous poll cies. This was followed in 1920 by q skillful maneuvering and crafty organ iJstion or all the forces of discontent until a volume Of hate and bitterness swept the present national adminis- tration into office.
 Plays Ip Many Scandals.
 What good could come out of such satanic victory? The itching palm was placed in power and proceeded forthwith to corruptly exploit the people. Scandals without numbers have followed. The United States sen- ate has performed an outstanding service in forcing the retirement Of faithless cabinet officials.
 'The strangle-hold of special priv ilege on our executive departments must be broken. Dishonesty, graft and corruption must be torn down from thalr pedestals and truth, hon esty and justice put in their places ..

1.-THE Vast Unknown" a region OF
mystery In Utah, was explored for the
first time last autumn by an expedi-
ton of the National Geographic So
ciety in charge of Neil M. Judd, of the
Department of American Anthropology
of the National museum. Mr.. Judd
and his assistants spent two months In
complete isolation in this unknown
section Of Utah. During that time they
did not see single wild animal and
the only traces of human beings were
remains of prehistoric Indians.
Through signs placed on the rocks
thousands Of years ago by ancient In
dams Mr.. Judd was enabled to find
trails over many difficult places. A
number of habitations of prehistoric
Americans were found In canyons.
The present Indians have horror Of
the locality and tell many strange
tales about 1t. 1t Is country Of rare
beauty to those who appreciate desert
scenery. Mr.. Judd describes the sand
stone as varying In color from light
yellow to blood-red, and the shadows
In the canyons range from hazy blue
to deep purple.

There Is no more striking phenome-

Chinese life than the indifference of

town and village people, to what hap
pens In government circles at Peking

Shanghai In 1908. 1t has always been
my habit when In the country to en-
gage In conversation with the Chinese

On this occasion I fell in with we'll
dressed villager. evidently merchant,
walking on bypath through the rice
fields. The Emperor Kuang Hsu had
just died at Picking, and there was
some rumor rejecting on the empress
dowager in this connection. I asked
this Chinese wayfarer If he had heard
of it. "Oh, yesl" he said, 81 heard

now without an emperor?" 1 queried.

said, ''but 1t will have no effect on the
price of donkeys." And so the two
events from his point of view and that

ALL OUT OF SORTS?
So Was This Good Woman Who Tells
Her Experience

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health and
strength by helping the weakened
kidneys with Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic. This case is one of many in
this locality.
Mrs. H. Emsen, 800 Mckinley Ave.
Kellogg, Idaho, says: "A cold dis.
ordered my kidneys and backache
played hard on my strength. When
] worked about the house, my back
ached more. My nerves were poor and
tired quickly. Occasionally head
aches came on and I felt tired and
worn out. Doan's Pills made me feel
all right. My cure has lasted a long
time"

Heroisn,, Mans Heritage

If there be mute, inglorious Millions
aplenty In the world, there are many
more heroes going about unsupported
and undiscovered until occasion calls
upon them to act and display their
courage and resource.
Probably most of the undisclosed
heroes of everyday life are quite as
unconscious as their associates of their
own capacity for gallantry and self
sacrifice until time and opportunity
summon them to the heroic role.
If 1t be safer to wait until man Is
dead before saying he has known only
happiness In life, 1t Is just as prudent
not to judge others by their ways I'M
der ordinary circumstances. 1t is the
glory of the race that 1t can rise to
splendid heights upon demand. Many

CRUEL CENSORSHIP
OF 700 YEARS AGO


Censorship 700 years ago consisted
Of calling out the army and "mopping
up everybody and everything offensive
to the ruling puritanical minds" ac-
cording to Prof. Nellie s. Aurner of
the English department. University of
Iowa.
"From about the middle of the
Twelfth century to early In the Thir-
teenth, sheiks and Sahara Sarahs were
having their heyday In the romantic
sex literature of southern France and
black oxen roamed wild through
Provence" says Professor Aurner
"Troubadour poetry reflected the spirit
Of the times.
$50 romantic had the people of this
region become that they put loyalty in
ones liege lady above everything else,
even the church and state.
'sThis smacked too much of the
heretical to suit those In power. The
Albigensian crusade of 1909 was be-
gun to correct the situation. Southern
France saw so much bloodshed and
brutality people sickened of the affair
Troubadour poetry and all Its kind
went into decline When the smoke
lifted the censors had won, but the
idea carried over in the stories that
grew up about King Arthur and the
knights of the Round Table.
"The present school of sentimental
literature is recrudescence, with i'm
portant differences, of the thought of
the earlier period. The church in both
instances has disapproved of any de-
parture from the puritanical style
which characterized the accepted
school of both ages.
mo one style is suitable to the fiex-
ible demands of the modern world,
with Its varying phases of highly COM
pick civilization. In spite of the fact
that there is much that is crude and
In our present literature
the best of 1t points to something finer
and richer"

"Chinch-Bug Cholera"
Great Benefit to Man

In the Mississippi valley there is 1
| disease known as "chinch-bug chol
era" 1t is known In other parts Of
the country also, but perhaps not sc
well as there. This is one of the dis
eases that benefits man, for 1t attacks
only insects that are injurious to his
crops. The disease is caused by a
parasitic fungus, known scientifically
as Sporotrichun globuliferum, and it's
host is the dreaded destroyer OF corn
and wheat, the chinch-bug.
1t is of great interest and impor-
lance that this fungus may be cult
waited artifcally In the laboratory. 1t
thrives on culture media of different
kinds, and may be sent out to farm
ers In badly infected areas. The meth
cd followed is to distribute the bodies
OF infected insects In the fields, either
dead or alive. The disease Is then
contracted by the healthy bugs and
soon spreads over the infected local
ity, helping to exterminate the pest,
If not eliminating 1t altogether.
Many kinds Of insects are subject to
These fungus hltdcks, Out IL appears
to follow that they thrive well only In
moist weather The chinch-bug fun
gus is probably the only one that has
been seriously experimental upon and
turned to the use of man, but there is
no doubt at all that others might be
brought under control, and eventually
become of enormous benefit to the hui
man race.

Whole World in Need
of Nes0 Mark TapLey

II was an English humorist, Charles
Dickens, who invented that supreme
type of the laughing philosopher,
Mark Tapley. Mark Tapley was
kind of Don Quixote of humor. he
made 1t his business to seek out those
most desperate situations, in which
NEST people would find little enough
to laugh at and pit his inyinciDie
gayety against their blacklist gloom.
The drearier the situation In which
he found himself the higher his spirits
would rise, and the only occasions on
which he grew mournful were those
which were not gloomy enough to ar
ford a worthy background for his art
says Richard LIE Gallienne In NC
Naught's Monthly. He was price
less creation and he should be living
at this hour, for the food for his mirth
was surely never so mysteriously
plentiful. How the European situa-
ton would make him rub his hands
with delight For, while on every
hand the prophets of woe are vaticin-
ating the direct happenings, he would
contrive somehow to extract sunshine
from the inky chaos and gid the
storm clouds with rainbows.
No more valuable human being
could be born just now than new
Mark Tapley. The whole world cries
out for him. For, while we could well
do with higher percentage of great
ness in our statesmen, there is no one
we need so much as new great hui
morist that once more the world may |
return to laughter.
We have plenty of minor humorists
both In England and America. I don't
know how 1t Is with France and Italy.
From all accounts, laughter is not
quite dead even In soviet Russia.
But since Mark Twain there is no
great world laughter, no humorist on
a large international scale. Our hui
morists are all sectional. We have no
humorist big enough to lash the gloom
AWAY with satire, to bring good hui
NOR back to the world and rouse 1t
,ut of its doleful dumps.
If you say that there is not much to
augh at, the spirit of Mark Tapley
S ready with the retort that evidently
hen the more need for laughter.
