District Attorney Robert A. Stuart is said to be
ehe ~favcrite son Of one-half the voters of Fort Worth
and Tarrant county. He was a state senator Tor Tour
years. He made life interesting. or thought he did
for Governor Moody while the son Of Williamson
county was serving his first term. Then Stuart be-
came a candidate for district attorney against Jesse
Martin, incumbent. Martin was serving his first term
and was a candidate for denomination.
The Rev. u Frank Norris backed Stuart TO the
limit. All the Hoover democrats backed Stuart.
won the primary nomination by a very scant MAORI
ty. There was q contest threatened; indeed 1t was
launched but the nomination finally landed in the
lap Of Stuart and he was elected in November OF last
year. There is a well defined rumor afloat in North
Texas that the Rev. J. Frank Norris would like TO
play the political role in Texas that Bishop Cannon
Is playing In Virginia and elsewhere, with Stuart his
first choice for the office Of governor subject 10 the
democratic primary in the month OF July, 1880.
Bishop Cannon has placed an independent ticket
In the field In Virginia. Those who are said to be be-
hind the Stuart movement call themselves democrats
and should they decide to take q whirl in the political
arena then the name Of Stuart win appear on the
democratic primary ballot as their standard bearer
and choice for the office now so ably filled by the
red son and idol of Williamson and many
other counties of the Lone Star commonwealth.

Millennium to be Ushered In

War God Mars has been a terror since the very
beginning Of recorded history. Man has been a fight
ing brute since his first appearance on the surface OF
the earth. Now the millennium is to be ushered IN
by the tribes Of man.
That remarkable document known as the Kellogg
BRAND treaty for remuneration Of war was proclaimed
July "A by President Herbert Hoover at a simple
/. White House ceremony.
Speaking of the treaty the president said: 1T sug-
gested q new step in international law. and repre-
sented a platform from which there is instant appeal
to the public opinion OF the world as to specific acts
and deeds"
And then in conclusion the president added that
he would dare predict that the influence Of the treaty
for the remuneration Of war VIII be felt in a large pro-
portion Of all future international acts"
He announced that the laying down OF three
American cruisers would be suspended until there has
been an opportunity for full consideration Of their
effect upon the final agreement for parity with Great
Britain that I expect to be reached"
Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald Of the British
empire on the other side Of the Atlantic was in the
picture at the same time that President Hoover was
prcclaiming 10 the world the treaty for remuneration
Of war.
Macdonald announced a program of definite re-
duetions in naval building and a slow down Of the
current program of British naval construction.
woodrow Wilson did not dream in vain. He did
not plan in vain. He did not die broken hearted in
vain. His dream OF the outlawry or remuneration OF
war by the nations Of the world would come TO pass
and that the blood and treasure sacrifices Of the
World war would make the universe safe for de-
mocracy.
Lest we forget, Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald
is the leader OF the socialist labor party Of Great
Britain. He is one Of the worlds outstanding states
men. At the beginning OF the World war he was a
pacifist. He was hooted and hated by a vast ma
jority Of the people Of Great Britain. His picture was
turned to the wall.
Now he Is the foremost advocate OF lasting peace
In all Europe and has announced his willingness TO
throw in the discard the naval mastery OF the seven
seas upheld by his empire for four centuries.
Macdonald speaks for the labor world. He was a
socialist before he became a laborite. Now his influ-
ence is commanding. his voice is appealing and his
messages ring around the world.

Washington Letter
By HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The name Willard ard
hotel have been synonymous for almost q century In
Washington.
And the Willard hotel boasts that it not only IS
one OF the most celebrated hostelries in the United
States, but also that its reputation is international.
Since lG47 it has occupied the site on the north
west corner Of Pennsylvania avenue at Fourteenth
street. Presidents have made it their home. Am
~oassadors have mace it their embassy. Scores Of men
high in the official life OF this and other COUNT .es
have added to its fame and historic glory by being
guests there.
Announcement was made the other DAY that the
hotel had been sold. But the new owners hastened
TO assure all that the name "Wilardt would be
retained in the nomenclature Of Washington. Plans
for improvement have been worked out, but they will
In no way disturb the hotels illustrious history.
TEMPORARY WHITE house
Calvin Coolidge lived here during his entire term
as vice president. And upon succeeding to the presi-
dency, on the death Of Harding. he continued to live
at the Willard for three weeks. During that time.
the entire office force Of the White House was quar-
tered ;here and the business affairs Of the nation
carried on within its walls.
During the administration OF Woodrow Wilson. the
vice president. Thomas R. Marshall. lived at the
Willard. President Harding occupied the presidential
suite the night before he was inaugurated.
Lincoln. when he came to Washington under guard
for his first Inauguration, stopped there.
Lafayette was entertained there. and the hotel was
the scene Of the banquet rendered him by congress.
Zachary Taylor, in 1S49. was the first president Of
the United States to stop at the willard. From the
balcony. on February %. a few days before his
Inauguration, he addressed the people of Washington.
Franklin Pierce was a guest there just before his
Inauguration in 1853. and here also on March 30. Of
the same year. Mrs. Willard Fillmore, wife Of the
retiring president, died.
GAsTRONOMY
Buchanan made the Willard his headquarters
when he came to Washington for his Inauguration.
But perhaps the hotels most interesting guests
were the members of the first embassy from japan
three months.
The object Of their visit was to obtain a copy OF
the treaty between the United States and their gov
eminent. the original Of which had been burned in
1865 in the great fire at jeddo. They remained
there for the entire month they we're in Washington.
The willard hotel was born in a day when gas
tronomic devotion was not taken carelessly by states
men. The first willard came to Washington to
rescue a failing hotel with his cuisine. The wife Of
the owner remembered the steward in charge Of the
dining room on a Hudson river steamer. He was sent
for. He would stand, white aproned, at the head Of
the table and carve.
Later he sent for his brothers. Since iS47 the
willard hotel has been a fixture Of the national
capital.

citizen.
A perfectly normal nose should

chief, or at lea" The frequent use
OF the handkerchief, is an evidence
Of abnormality. The amount OF the
nasal secretion should be like the

The urge TO G l~ectorate frequent

other, more or less closure Of the
nasal passage.
This is due TO thickening Of the
mucous membrane of the nose.
There Is enlar"ementof the blood

these elastic tissues.
There are other cases where n
or both sides OF the nose may be
completely blocked. On examina-

the nasal passage Is filled with q
translucent, pearly. round and

Sometimes, when the trouble
comes on in early life the contour
Of the face may be changed by
the growth Of the polypuS. This
gives a peculiar flat or "frog-fac-
