Lying variously upon ones back or
sides, with nothing much to do but

Of any one.
Perhaps patience is put most to the
test,
Patience is n virtue not so much in
style as it used to be. Virtues have
their DAYS the same as little hats and
big ones.
Fashions in virtues do not change
quite so often as the length of skirts.
but rather suffer eclipse in popular
conversation.
Nobody talks much about patience
any more, largely because there are
so many agencies to make everything
right again as quickly as possible.
If one has some money and uses
his common sense, he can find some
one else glad and willing to assume
the job for him.
If the radio set gets out of fix. there
is some one who will come-for con-
sideration-to patiently test the an
tenna, the ground, the batteries, the
tubes.
He will look for broken connec-
tons, attempt to discover burned-out
transformers. His patience will be
huge. The set owner doesn't have to
have any patience at all.
He buys it ready made.

Reactions to the speech of Vice
President Dawes at the dedication of
the Peace Bridge between the United
States and Canada represent wide
| range of opinion. The nature of the
occasion causes some newspapers to
| object to his direct and pointed critt-
cism of the Geneva naval limitation
conference. Others, however, COM
mend the Vice President for courage
and common sense and feel that 1t
was timely utterance.
Mr.. Kellogg seemed unimpressed,
Mr.. Baldwin kept his eyes on the
printed program. But Mr.. Dawes had
the spotlight" remarks the Detroit
News independently, with the COM
ment that Mr.. Dawes spoke mot the
| language of diplomacy, but that of
plain common sense" The Decatur
Review independent Democratic) also
feels that Dawes thinks as do most
of the common-sense people," and the
Trenton Times independently holds
that "he never evades, but usually he
does lot of thinking before he leaps. !"
"If good sense is bad diplomacy, no
wonder that the diplomatists find it
so difficult to accomplish anything
at Geneva or elsewhere" says the
Baltimore Sun independent Demo
cratic). and the Pasadena StarNews
(Republican) contends that "the words
Of Vice President Dawes, striking to
the very heart of the subject. should
have wholesome influence throughout
the United States and the British EN-
pire" The Roanoke Times Gndepend-
emit Democratic) believes that "his tact

could possibly be embarrassing to
"a h. IO,,.t; Itch, nrnn

dependent sees mo improperly in
the selection Of the bridge dedication
ceremony for the utterance of such
sentiments"
Disagreeing with the Vice Presidents
criticism that there was not adequate
preparation for the Geneva conference,
the New York Herald Tribune Repub-
lican) states: "Vice President Dawes
might have done better not to discuss
at the Niagara peace celebration the
failure of the Geneva naval armament
limitations conference. The deadlock
at Geneva was not in harmony with
the spirit Of underlying friendship
evoked on our undefended interna-
tional border. But If he was going
to say anything, he should certainly
have avoided echoing the empty state

back to Washington from the Black

is bay gelding. Mistletoe, which en-
joys equal favor in the presidential

The Department of Commerce, in
its annual report of American foreign
trade, just published, estimates the
value of smuggled liquors imported

Bombers and Their Prompters.

Yesterday the Supreme Court OF
Massachusetts, sitting i'm full bench
save for one member, who was Ill.,
heard arguments upon a motion Tor
n review Of the Sacco-Vanzetti case.
As the court convened news was
flashed that the home OF one of the
iurors in the original trial had been
bombed. the building partially wrecked
and the family slightly injured. This
outrage was Enthusiastically the work
of n sy1npathizer of the condemned
men. an act of reprisal.
While the bombing will not affect
the course of the court, which has re-
served decision on the appeal, it can
not fail to affect public feeling on the
subject. The coincidence of the eX-
plosion with the sitting OF the court
in extraordinary session to hear the
case in what may be its final stage is
significant. 1t indicates a purpose on
the part Of the radical partisans OF
Sacco and Vanzetti to terrorize those
who are dealing or who have dealt
with the matter. 1t may have been
a crude threat against the justices
who are now sitting in Judgment on
the last appeal.
Viewed as a challenge, this outrage
Is in the worst possible judgment. 1t
cannot fail to prejudice the minds OF
the public. It lessons the force of the
appeal itself.
Gov. Fuller, in a letter to the jury
man whose home was bombed, eX-
pressing his sympathy and his de-
Termination to exhaust the resources
of the law to discover the perpe-
traitors. says: 1T would be well for
those who through ignorance or
malice or sentimentality contribute to
such dire results to be held jointly
responsible" Thus he puts his finger
on the real issue. For weeks in the
final stage of the case and for many
months in earlier agitations speakers
and writer's for ''proletariat" publica-
tons have been denouncing the law
in Incorporate manner. They have
been melting the unthinking, ignorant
members of radical organizations and
others who are not affiliated with such
bodies to deeds Of violence. they
have spared no language to arouse
certain class Of people to the point
of actual revolution against the or
ganized system of government in this
country. Some of them are profess
sional agitators, others are misguided
persons who have gone wrong in their
political thought. They are today
responsible for whatever has occurred
in the way Of violence in Boston. in
New York, in Philadelphia, in Balu-
more and in other cities. and nDr
whatever may occur hereafter.
The agitators who, for their own
purposes or through warped politi-
cal sense, denounce the courts and
the officials of government are as
much to blame for these acts of
diabolism as the miserable men, or
women, who place the bombs. 1t is
a misfortune that they cannot be held
directly to account for the conse-
ouence of their words and influence.

When you wake up with backache

such acids overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter 1T from the blood
and they become sort of paralyzed and

like you relieve your bowels, rem0v-
ing all the body's urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache
dizzy spells; your stomach sours
tongue is coated and when the wealth
err is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine Is cloudy, full Of sediment,
channels often get sore, water scalds
and you are obliged to seek relief two
or three times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad
Salts; take tablespoonful in glass
Of water before breakfast for few
days and Your kidneys may then act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for years to help clean and slim
