To the Editor: T
The only way for a political party
successfully to clean house is to do
the work itself. The Republican
party in Indiana needs a genuine
house cleaning.
One Governor sent to the Federal
penitentiary, mayor of the capital
city prosecuted on fraudulent cleo
ton charges and forced to resign his
office, the two United States Sena-
tors elected by the influence of one
Who resides or is detained for an
indefinite period at Michigan City,
and the present Governor soon to
be prosecuted On a bribery charge.
The part can not understand is
why we Republicans Il am one, too,
formerly from the Hoosier State)
sit by in state Of lethargy and the
editor Of Democratic paper had to
tell us these startling truths.
This editor should have from the
rank and file of our party our hearty
commentator. We needed some
one to wake us up, some one who
had horse sense enough to know
$4,000 was too much to give for a
broken down saddle horse. We need
ed Moses to lead us out of the
wilderness and set us on the right
track.
Roosevelt didn't wait for Demo-
Gratis to clean house in the Repub-
lican party. He started the clean
ing himself and he finished it. No
Republican could be corrupt and be
upheld by the party. Roosevelt was
the first to fire on him.
Roosevelt would have saved a
Democratic editor the time and
trouble of unearthing the scandal,
bribery and debauchery of the Khan
rule in Indiana. Teddy" would have
performed the job himself and been
delighted" to do it.
To have good clean government
there must be a responsible party
to administer it. It's members who
ofhciate in different capacities of
the State must be clean men, of
unquestioned characters. When men
assume control of the State, such as
those in Indiana now, it is the duty
Of Republicans to sound the clarion
call for action. And do as. Roose-
welt would have us do, clean the
house ourselves.
GEORGE FAIR,
1440 Franklin ST., Denver, Colo.
To the Editor:
1t is rather interesting to know
that the dry convention decided that
whisky has no medicinal value. I
suppose the convention was COM
posed of preachers, isteners-in and
two doctors. They should have taken
up the question as to how much
morphine, calomel or quinine a doc
tor should give. They should have
discussed the cause of cancer, infan-
tile paralysis and tetanus. Doctors
need the advice of the Anti-Saloon
League on these questions.
At the next meeting of the State
Medical Society the doctors will help
the preachers by Advocating a law
to do away with baptism by i'm
mersion. There are other ways of
baptizing that will do just as well.
The law will say that to baptize
any one three drops of sterile water
should be dropped on the head with
medicine dropper. If the preach
ers are going to tell the doctors
what to prescribe, the doctors ought
to tell the preachers how to baptize
and preach. j. M. SMITH.

Straight Talks to Women About Money
By MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN.

infected by the wild speculating current
In the several stock exchanges.
She entered n brokers ONCE and In
formed him that she would like TO buy
some stock that would show her q So
point gain. The broker tried to be
accommodating and asked her how long
she had to wait. She replied that she
was going out to be manicured and
would be back In O half hour.
The broker was accustomed to such
outbreaks and tried to persuade her
10 show more patience. The woman
became enraged and accused the poor
broker OF keeping the good things
to himself. Sine stalked out Of the once
with the remark that all brokers are
dishonest" and they don't give an
investor" O chance 10 share In their
profits.
This incident Is reported 10 be q true
one, and, II II Is such. 1t indicates the
spirit of q few woman spectators. It
IA inconceivable that any woman could
profit OF 80 points, equivalent on the
average stock TO a so per cent profit. in
q brief time.
or course, the informed investor
knows that her broker is as unfamiliar
with the vagaries OF stock or Of manipu-
lations OF stock-controlling groups as
she Is herself II brokers knew the
facts those who attempted to control
certain stocks would be thwarted almost
instantly.
No legitimate business Of which we
know can promise q so per cent proiit
In 20 minutes, or 40 days. or 10 weeks.
or 40 months
1t Is true that one may gamble and
double ones money in brief time.
But, Of course, every speculator realizes,
or should, that the chances Of losing
onea money are Just as great.
Returning TO the stock market. we
have been asked with reference to the
recent gains In stock prices whether
the market Is inflated. Rather than
answer any such question we would re-
fer interested readers to sources men,
toned frequently. Let them look up
the facts on stocks In which they are
interested and form their own conclu-
siona,
Those who haven't long to wait 10
get their gains may not have long to
wait to take their losses In any gamble
the action is usually swift and fre-
quently ruinous.

Completes and Tragedies.

Complex" is a useful word as the
common name for variety Of deep
seated mental failings that may harbor
the makings of a tragedy. In a COM
plex there is evidence of an emotional
type or tendency, whether It takes a
serious form or not. Even the milder
varieties interfere with mental fitness.
Severe completes affecting relations on
which normal behavior depends may
wreck life.
We all have q streak Of timidity.
II we fear some situations quite out
of proportion to their real danger.
and II that fear distorts our behavior,
colors our thoughts, upsets US emo
tionally, 1t Is on the way to becom-
ing a fear complex. There Is no line
between an extremely unreasonable
fear and a fear-complex. If am
in a panic of fear when crossing a
trestle, but instantly recover when the
trestle Is crossed and don't worry about
trestles otherwise, that fear hardly con-
stitutes complex. II fear shut-in
places or open spaces and plan my
life to avoid them, it affects my con-
duct more, and If am afraid OF wan
dering far from home, lose more OF
my freedom of behavior and am ap-
preaching complex. The hypochon-
driac may be only needlessly cautious;
but Ii he is constantly fearing infec-
ton, inspecting every article Of his diet,
taking all sorts of tablets, taking TO
his bed under the least symptom, he
isn't behaving quite normally, and has
more or less of health complex.
These are for the most part pri-
vate complexes; the conflict is inside
myself between what I should like to
do, or know / should do, and what my
fears or concerns lead me to do; and
this conflict restrains my freedom. II
I have an inner conflict and II it Is
strong and serious enough, 1t may de-
velop into what to me Is a tragedy. But
let the complex take social turn and
affect my behavior to others and lead
me into conflict with them, and there
arises the possibility Of a mental
tragedy.
It Is the social, perhaps better called
the anti-social. complexes that form
our serious concern. II have a sus-
picion complex and think everybody
Is against me and detect signs OF this
animoSity in every look and word and
attitude, / am living In a distorted
world. That hostility complex may
take different expression according to
my dominant nervous disposition. If
it tends toward suspicion and with
| drawal, 1t may make a recluse OF me,

lations to women. may become a
woman-hater. II IL Is aggressive, IL
may make me quarrelsome and Diff
cult to get along with and I may have
a rebellious. resentful, crouch or
grievance complex. Or 1t may take the
form of domination and insistence and
a conviction Of my own worth and i'm
portance.
There Is no more fertile ground for
the development OF tragedies than the
social complexes, especially Of those
that distort the most intimate relations
in which we live inwardly ~ well as
outwardly. The relations Of parent and
child, Of husband and wife, of the in
dividual to his career in terms Of sue
cess and failure or of his social set
ting are the breeding ground Of
complexes for the same reason that
they are the decisive setting Of nor
NAL adjustment. The same warped
emotional response may affect them all.
Conflicts of one personality with an
other and others set the stage for
tragedies of the mind. The complex
provides the .temperamental basis Of
conflict and tragedy, the setting pro-
vides the incidents and plot.
When there are no completes. the
more serious conflicts within ones self
and with others are avoided. and there
Is peace of mind and well balanced
adjustment to the dominant relations
wherein we live and move and have
our being. The temperamental conflict
Is more important than the setting.
The tragedy appears as q fall1ng out OF
husband and wife; or as a rebellion of
child against parent; or of failure
in career; or of bitter withdrawal and
solitude of q recluse. But the real
tragedy, the true explanation OF why
men fail in this relation or that. lies in
the conflict of a temperament with a
situation, of a warped emotional rela-
ton affecting the vital streams Of be-
havior. They are tragedies Of the
mind.
