POLITICAL CONSEQUENCES
New York TimeSl

|
Senator Borah makes a CHART
| able plea for the boiling Republic
| can Senators whom it is proposed
| to deprive Of their committee as
| signments. Who knows but the
party may sorely need their votes
in 1926? Well. the party needed
their votes in 1924, but didn't get
them. 1t got instead reputation,
defiance anu abuse. Yet now these
gentlemen desire recognition from
the party organization which they
flOuted and strOve to defeat. 1t is
not question of their coming
back ,repentant. If they appealed
as returning prodigals, they would
doubtless get a fatted calf or two
in the shape OF committee chair
manships. Naturally, Senator
Borah was not able to include Nh
LaF'ollette among those whom he
thought the party ought to CON
tinue to tolerate. though bit ir-
regular and troublesome. That
would have been too much for
even the Idaho Senator's cOmpre-
hensive benevolence. But the ar
gument that is good against La
Toilette is good against BrOokhart
and the others.
The plain truth about these. men
is that they are not willing to face
the inevitable political consequent
ces of their own acts. Last year
they posed as men of noble indie
pendence, almost heroes, in their
willingness to break with the party
which they felt had become un
worthy and debased. Bat now that
! they have lost, and the party has
won, they wish to be regarded as
if they had done nothing at all.
They still desire to be known as
martyrs TO their convictions. but
are wholly unwilling to suffer the
martyrs pains. They would be ST.
Lawrences without ever having to
go on the gridiron. This is the
aspect of their case which is the
most unlpeasing. Every man has a
right to be party re.1el. if he
chooses, but he must be ready to
face the muse ii his rebellion
fails. Not even a Senator can eat
his cake and have it too. This is
the homely way in which the coun-
try will be disposed to brush aside
Senator Boral's specious appeals
for mercy in behalf of men unwill-
ing 20 take their medicine.
In asking for definition OF Re-
publican loyalty, Senator Borah
runs off into metaphysics. Who
can say what essential Republican,
ism is today? The dissenting Re-
publicans of 1896, the come-Outer
Republicans of 1912, are today pill
| lars of the party. Why draw the
line at the more recent rebels?
But there. is roue l-and-ready line
which they themselves drew If
you denounce a party's platform.
if You attack its candidates, if You
refuse to vote for it or work with
it, then you are not an honorable
| member Of it, 1t may change la
ter, or you many change. But as
the thing stands today, it is both
incongruous and impudent to de
mand that the party organization
should welcome to its arms men
who I'D their best to destroy it
and who remain impenitent.

police off the trail the games are

The players drop in the restaurant
and are directed by the leisurely
young man to the address where
the game is being held on that day.
The leisurely young man makes
enough out of his leisure to buy dia-

Essentially, the virtues of the
highbrow reformers and Tammany
are at opposite extremes.
The reformers believe that prin-
ciples are more important than men.
They would vote against their friend
if he ran on the issue of doing the
thing when elected which they
thought against the public interest,
and support their enemy if they ap-
proved his policy.
To vote for a man because he had
done them personal favor, they
would regard as treason.
Tammany is the opposite. what
is the Constitution between friends ?"
There are only two Tammany COM
mandments:

(2) If you tell man you will do
him certain favor, do it.
These were the feudal virtues, al
so. The modernists regard them
as vices, when they lead to disre-
gard of impersonal principle.
But even they make one exception.
They have to go through travail be-
fore they win support seven Demo-

OFF to the Easter Bunny's house.
Outside it looked like any other

But inside! Why inside it was
But goodness! Pm going too fast.
Nobody was inside yet.
The Twins got off and knocked
loudly as the March Hare said to do.
Then they heard loud yawn and
sort of scraping noise and after a
long while the door opened and there
stood the Easter Bunny in his pa
jamas and night-cap.

There is not single sensation as

which may not be caused by other

learned.
1t is because of this that many
persons give much useless worry to
symptoms, which the heart has abso-

Regardless of this, however, any
painful sensation, that seems to
have its origin in the heart, should
not be ignored.
Often If the. heart is slightly af-

"Oh-so that's it, is it, exclaimed
the Easter Bunny opening his eyes

And now it is time to tell you what
the Easter Bunny's house looked like

It looked like a candy store, and /:

velop in the heart because of it's
intrinsic damage, and those which
develop in other parts of the body
because the diseased heart is unable
to maintain an adequate circula-
ton.
If the heart does not give enough
blood to the brain there is dizziness.
When the lungs are affected, there is
shortness of breath and coughing.
When it is the stomach or intes-
tines, there are symptoms of indiges-
ton. When it is the legs, the ankles
swell.
This list could be heightened to
include all organs of the body, but
enough has been said TO indicate
why u great variety of symptoms
may develop as result of heart
weakness.

A Home In The Hills
(FlOrence Borner)

A home in the hills!
What pleasure life brings,
To live midst the scenes,
OF glad lakes and pure springs;
At the dawn OF the day,
When the skies rosy glow,
Gives vision of heaven,
To m0rtals below;
At the closing of day,
When the twilight is here,
And Night filings her curtain
From far and from near.
A home in the hills!
With their blues. browns and
grays,
And the swift changing scenes,
As far outward we gaze;
Oh, then we seem giants.
And earth seems so small,
AS we bark to the sound,
OF the fierce eagles call;
As he shrieks at some foe,
From his vantage so high,
Or calls to his mate.
In the cyry close by.
4 home in the hills!
Or on some mountains breast,
Where the inmates respond
To the voice of the West,
Where Man is q pigmy,
And Nature Is king,
And nothing istl1eard
OF the axmans loud ring;
Where forests grown old
Send their leafy crowns high,
And seemingly grope,
For the far distant, sky.
A home in the hills!
Far from trammelins care,
Naught of worry, and strife,
Can intrude on Man there;
Truth inhabits the hills,
And sweet Peace folds her wings.
To rest in repose,
From the evil Greed brings:
All IL open and free, =
There are no solemn walls,
To curb gay Adventure. q
Nor heed when che calls.

Avoided Record Vote Upon Salary Boost

they assumed their constituents did not This is the
assumption.
Some congressman doubtless have than 9TH

If they would use the they have, it would be
enough
