Chauncey Depew was never an idol OF the
people and his claim to immortality is uncer-
tain, but he is already missed and will con-
tinue to be missed far into the future.
For man who was never president, VINO
never organized an independent movement IN
politics, who never created any great work or
art or drew a movie salary and who did not
live to be hundred, he was unusually ia
nous. He was frequently before the public
eye, but always for some respectable and be-
coming reason.
Few Americans have been better qualified
than he for public service of the highest order
and none has declined as many honors be-
slowed by the people. Among the public Of
fices he rejected were secretary of war, United
States senator and United States minister to
Japan. Before he was 30 he had served in
the New York legislature and as secretary OF
state in New York. Further evidence Of his
power in politics is found in the nnety-nina
votes given him for the presidential nomina-
ton in the Republican national convention of
1883. Five times he was delegate-at-largc
to national conventions and the honor was his
to nominate Harrison for the presidency.
This generation knew him as the nations
greatest after-dinner speaker, but to another
generation he was a great enough orator to
be the principal speaker at the unwilling of
the Statue of Liberty, at the centennial cele-
brat;on of the first Inauguration of George
Washington, and at the opening of the Chica-
60 worlds fair.

ture producers have been called
many things, good and bad, but no
one-even Will Hays-ever before
had the nerve to compare them with
Jesus Christ.
A motion picture trade weekly in
recent issue carried a Page One
editorial entitled ''They Know Not, "
which undertook something of the
sort in a plea for forgiveness for
the scribes and pharisees within the
industry who had supported the
Brookhart bill to regulate the block
booking evil.
"Our own George Washington only
survived the jealousies and petty
treacheries Of men about him by
amazing patience, stamina and for
titude," one reads. ITO 60 into a
more exalted record we find the
Great Teacher beset on all sides by
those who, for petty causes, sought
his downfall and who, succeeding
through flashing the unthinking null
titude into frenzy, caused his
crucifixion. Likewise from Him
who suffered most came the message
Of most Importance in situations
where misguided and furious men
have, because of one condition or
another, sought to tear down the
temple. Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do
From this supreme source we
may with due reverence receive a
practical and workable plan for the
righting Of conditions in the bust
ness structure Of the motion picture
industry we can call upon the
leaders Of our business to forgive
those who. through mistakes, anger,
or plain stubborn ignorance have
blindly sought to bring our business
under political control, who have
maligned and traduced it in the
market place, and who have borne
witness against it in the camp Of its
enemies"
A sort Of voters guide" is offered
by the Peoples Legislative Service
Of Washington, which offers to pro-
vide individuals or groups interested
in politics with the records of their
senator's and representatives on all
the important measures before Con-
gress in the last few years.

Question: A Young Mother

tories on my three months-oli' baby
regularly every morning. Do you
think this is harmful? Would

ficient to move his bowels ?"

positories should be used only in
emergencies. and should not be made
q regular habit. Your three-months-
old baby shoul,, be living on nothing
but milk and orange ilice. Write
fer my special article on feeding
the baby.
Question: A. +. asks: els it
good for person to live on freshly
picked raspebrries during the whole
time the, are in season."
Answer: I often advise patients
to take a few days fast on rasp-
berries or other berries in season,
but would not advise any one to try
to live on them exclusively for any
length of time, such as the whole
time they are in season
