Race and Greed Issues
Are Dilemmas Before
Brown In Campaign

ROANOKE, Va, June 20--Every
effort will be made by Dr. William
Moseley Brown. the anti-Smith
candidate for Governor of Virginia,
and by his followers to evade what
may become the two outstanding
issues of the State campaign. it
appeared reasonably certain TODAY.
The first of these is the negro
question. which already has caused
some dissension in the ranks OF the
&nti-Smith Democrats.
The second is the religious issue.
now beginning to center around
John NJ. Purcell, State Treasurer,
q Catholic.
DIR. Brown Silent
DR.. Brown does not take the posi-
ton that these issues will he
evaded. if possible. He declines to
make any statement regarding these
or any other subjects ''for the
time being" But those who have
been watching closely the progress
Of the independent movement see
I'm these two issues the greatest
danger to it's ultimate success.
Freed OF his academic duties as
q teacher of psychology at tire
Washington and Lee University. at
Lexington. DIR. Brown Is uncertain
what course the campaign will
take. when it will start or what his
attitude on several questions of
intense interest will be. g..
"Of course. I stand on the plat
form adopted by the convention at
Roanoke Yesterday" he asserted.
''That was mandate to me-"
Seems Confident
But beyond that the professor
GubernatoriaI candidate would not
go. He displayed an air of con-
fidence, but he would not discuss
the prospects of success In over
coming. the regular Democratic or
ganizati ton in the State.
With the convention over, it be-
comes increasingly clear that Bishop
James Cannon. jr.. dominated it
thrOughout writing the platform,
the keynote speech and selecting
the candidate. The anti.Smith
Democrats now look to him to
obtain the support of the Repub-
Hcans.

James Macie an English country gentleman of
an old family residing at Weston, near Bath.
She was of the Hungerfords of Studley. great
grandniece Of Charles, Duke Of Somerset,
through whom she was hneally descended from
King Henry VII. She was cousin Of the Eliza
beth Percy who married Hugh Smithson. who
later became Duke Of Northumberland and by
act Of Parliament took the name Of Percy.
Hugh Smithson, whose natural son was deS-
tined to become one Of the earliest benefactors
Of the young American Republic, was the son
Of Langdale Smithson, who, according to I'M
verified tradition, occupied for time the then
relatively unconSideTed position Of q pracd-
toner Of medicine. The Smithsons. however.
were an old family, and, Is country Squires,
they were reared IN the habit of personally
managing their estates, and the business apti-
tude was strong in SmithsOn'S father.
There has been found no record of the Macies
at Weston In the years preceding the birth OF
young 5mithson, and there is no reference to
him in the accessible archives Of the Northum-
berland family The eventual circumstances of
his mother also are hidden save that 1t is
known she inherited the property of the Hunger
fords of Studey In 1885, q matter Of interest

cradle portion, at least. Of the Smithson bequeSt

There seems to be available no further in
formation concerning the founder of the inSti-
tuition until his name Is found entered at Penn
broke College, Oxford, In 1872, as James Lewis
Macie "a gentleman eommoner." Unlike the
practice in the case Of other students, the name
Of his father does not appear in the record.
Little that Is material is recorded of the
young students life at Oxford beyond a tradi-
ton that he was the best chemist and mineral
ogist Of his year. However, IN his journal he
gives . description Of . geological tour in 1884,
when he was only 10, through Oban, Staffa and

not q little privation and Self-denial, such as

shows that he was far more occupied with

DR.. CaIdwell's 3 Rules
Keep You Healthy

Or Caldwell watched the results
of consultation for ~ years, and be-
lieved that no matter how careful
people are of their health, diet and
exercise, constipation will occur
from time to time regardless OF how
much one tries to avoid II. OF next
importance. then. is how TO treat 1t
when il comes. Dr.. Caldwell always
was in favor of getting as close to
nature as possible, hence his remedy
for constipation. known as DR..
Caldweu's Syrup Pepsin, is MID
vegetable compound. 1t can not
harm the most delicate system ana
is not a habit forming preparation
Syrup Pepsin is pleasant-tastlng,
and youngsters love It. 1t does not
grippe. Thousands OF mothers nave
written us to that effect.
DR.. Caldwell did not approve OF
drastic physics and purges. He did
not believe they were good for hu-
man beings to put into their sys-
tens. In a practice of AZ years E.S
never saw any reason for their use
when a medicine like Syrup Pepsin
will empty the bowels just as
promptly, more Clearly and gently,
without gripping and harm to the
system.

OuiS ON Sex

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

DR.. Brooks, president Of the Uni
versity of Missouri, will probably
undergo scathing sarcasms from a
certain class of Wiseacres because he
forbade further distribution Of a
sex QUESTIONABLE on the campus.
But he may comfort himself with
the thought that the common folk,
those who pay the taxes, are with
him.
For several years We have been
harassed with such incidents. Mil
lions of these fool things have been
distributed, and to what good pur-
pose? Oh, says the sociologist, the
answers throw 2 regular spotlight
upon the inner man. Nonsensei
Nobody lays bare his soul in a ques-
tionnaire and nobody ever will.
The professor responsible doubt
less was honest in his endeavors to
find out some great truths. But his
kind are likely to run aInuck now
and then in spite of their higher
intelligence. Their energy gets the
best Of their commonsense.
Sex, as everybody admits, is the
greatest force in life. The students
have been appriSed of that fact for
some time now. If it has not yet
gotten over with them, then they
are far more stupid than We give
them credit for being, and stone
blind to boot.
For the power of sex, the allurement
Of sex, the importance of sex. con-
tinually broadcast. The fellow who
secretly thought it a secondary
matter would not dare pipe up amid
all the hullabaloo. The psychologists
have us lntimidated.
And agreeing that sex is the
worlds grandeSt and most thrilling
fact, still it's nothing new. Well
admit it and just let things go at
that. One needs no missionaries
to bring it to our attention.
And imagine, if you can, the IL
Illuminating answers that the Mis-
souri, youths must have given to
these stupendous queries: do you
intend to marry? At what age? If
you marry. do you hope to have
children? How many? Are you in
favor of family limitation by means
of birth control?"
But the prize question is this one
addressed to the co-eds: Would
you quit associating with a man,
married or unmarried, on learning
that at some time he had engaged
in moral Irregularities"
Doesn't the sociology professor
know that the Don Juans of the
