The people of independent minds and growing

The people of Indiana were shocked when Watson

pany with no other investment than note which he
later said was worthless, at time when he, as a
senator, helping to fix the tariff on sugar.
That the stock under the depression which Wat

check, later became worthless is not important.
The big fact is that Watson senator. was accept

legislation. The value of the stock might have been
Increased by his vote by taxing all the people more
for the sugar they use 1t is a perfect picture of
the Watson morality.
The candidate against Watson must have not only
different economic views but radically different
set of political ethics
For this reason the suggestion of misguided friends
of Walter Myers Speaker of the house. that his cand-
dacy will be enhanced by the prospect of special
session should be repudated by him SANDER.

If true it would constitute insurmountable obstacle
in the fall.
That the Speaker of the house would use his posi-
ton to either punish reward those who vote for
him in the convention is unbelievable. That is exactly
what Watson would do.
The Watson control of the Republican conven-
ton, accomplished by thorough revelation of his
fundamental ingrattude to his closest friends and
absolute disregard of the ordinary decences of poll
tics has caused many of his former supporters to look
with hope to the Democratic convention.
There must be no suggestion that his opponent has
any of his traits or political habits.
The next six years will be crucial in the history
of this country No Watson is needed in such an hour.
No obstacle to his defeat should be raised by bitter

The demonstration went much
deeper than a protest against pro-

secret springs of life. 1t so happens
that Mr.. Garfield is a gentleman
distinctly of the schoolmaster type.
His whole manner suggests that he
is going to call on somebody to
translate a little Caesar and that
when he gets it he is not going to
like it.
And so the hand of every man
was against him, even before he
began to expound the intricacies
of the Republican prohibition plank,
which nobody can translate.
AS I remember, the first outburst
came when James r. Garfield re-
marked that the younger generation
knew nothing of the evils which ex-

Just Every Day Sense
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

TIME danger of concentrating all your love upon
L one individual is the subject matter of new
novel by A. j. Cronn, that looming British genius.
Because this is feminine tendency this has spe-
cial interest for us.
Having for our traditional background only the
four walls of home and those who dwell therein,
women are very likely to fall into the error that
wrecked MIR. Cronin's heroine.
Marital love- maternal love, both are inspiring and
beautiful but the instinct that moves us to pour out
all our hearts frankincense before one or even two
or three persons is not only dangerous trait but a
vice that long has masqueraded as virtue.
Over and over it is permitted to see the havoc
wrought by women who have ruined the lives of
families and broken their own hearts because OF THIS
excessive poSseSsive passion
Friendship is a comparatively new word In the
feminine vocabulary. We were permitted chlldhooo
playmates and girlhood chums, but only of recent
years has it been thought proper for married women
to cultivate friendships. This lack in the lives OF
women has worked unutterable harm to the men
and children of the earth.
THE wife and mother who sacrifices for husband
i and child has been lauded through the ages.
But seldom have we heard the results of such sac
rifces
For one man who appreciates the constant sur

constant sacrifices 100000 do not notice or else soon

And the woman who is wise always will give the
lions share of such attentions to her husband For
our children much as we may love them belong to
life, They will forsake some day in the body if
not the spirit.
They must. This is their destiny. But a woman's
husband belongs to her in hundred dear and init
mate ways, if she be fortunate enough to have his
affection

Migraine More Severe Among Women

they were nauseated much more
frequently than were the men.
1t seems likely, therefore, that
women go to the physician more
often for this condition than do
men, because of severity of the
symptoms.
There have been various sugges-
tions as to the underlying basis of
migraine. 1t is recognized that
heredity plays some part.
However, the condition that is he
reditary may be associated with some
special anatomical development of
the brain, of the glands of internal
secretion, or of the nervous system.
In some instances, no doubt, head
ache of the migraine type is mani
festation of senSitivity to a foreign
protein substance.
Such sensitiyity is, however, also
hereditary to a considerable extent.
In other words, it is likely that a
number of causes acting together
produce this condition, rather than
a single cause for all cases.

sician for this condition than were
men, but an examination of the
records of thousands of cases COM
ing to a physicians office indicated
approximately equal numbers.
Out of 103 men, it was found that
f1fty-six gave a history of periodic
headaches of this type; 80 per cent
stated that their parents had had
similar histories, and in 70 per cent
the headaches had started before
the age of 81.
Among the ninety-two wives of
these men there were fifty who had
a history of headache, and in 80 per
cent of these women there was
record of similar headaches in the
parent.
In this particular group, therefore,
the frequency of migraine in men
and in women seemed to be the
same, but careful Investigation
showed that migraine is a more seri-
GUS condition in women than in men.
In most instances, women had
headaches that lasted longer and

1t certainly is a shame that a
paper that has secured the CON-

should turn in such manner.
Your reversal in regard to Hoover

1923 the comparison between the

that he fed the starving BeIgians

Now that Mr.. Hoover has disap-

knew he would, and Mr.. Roosevelt
seems to be quite a liberal, you right

way. Mr.. Smith, by the way. seems
also to have reversed quite bit

You decry Tammany. Yet in all

your editorial section with some

NEWSPAPER men, and even

the bad habit of appearing blase
about events of public interest. The
truth is that newspaper men and
columnists are incurable romantics.
But, as a rule, it is difficult to
express your romanticism until
couple of days after your dealine.
1 just have been looking over what
wrote from Chicago, and if I had
not known the author, I would have
gathered that these were the COM

man having a singularly bad time.
And I didn't have a bad time.

Old Liberalism Gone

MIR. GARFIELD pointed out that
A'A the delegates on the floor would
decide the problem at issue and that
the spectators had nothing to do
with it. However, he seemed to for
get the fact that some of the ten or
fifteen thousand who thus were ex-
Guided as participants in Re-
publican endeavor may find chance
to express themselves effectively no
later than next November.
1t is said to observe such remnants
OF the Bull Moose movement as still
walk the earth. Each and every one
OF them seems to have deteriorated
like an old Buffalo robe.
The vision T. r. made them see

lars. A little more regular, perhaps.
than ever before.
Possibly the fault does not lie in
any OF the personalities involved. It
may be that liberalism itself suffers
from certain insufficiency. 1t is
the insulin of economics. Liberalism
may keep the party gong, but it will
not serve to cure it.

THAT type of sick headache COM

lieved by many persons to be a
hereditary condition more likely to
occur in women than in men.
Since this point of view first was
advanced around 1893, many inves-

basis for the contention.
This caused DR.. William Allan to
make a special study of the matter.
He now makes available the results
of these studies.
Out of 545 persons suffering with
headaches of the migraine type,
women were found to have the con-
