 For they can't do it- They only move the oUuelg and mere movement doam't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.

Peter Anderson, famous through. out Scotland as a "diver" died rec gently in Dunbar, Scotland.

The Last Chance

Members of the Bonus Expeditionary Force who
take advantage of the Governments offer to loan money for
transportation and subsistence to homegong have
their last chance today.

AS yet the number of applicants for this loan has been

Smaller Business Man

And now he is against the
loaning Of Federal money,

Bishop Cannon
Tells Them

Lest these "wet" Repub-
licans may really be as ig-
norant of the present lineup
on prohibition as they seem,
let us illuminate their dark
ness by citing the analysis
of the. situation by Bishop
Cannon, with whom, con-
sciously or unconsciously,
they are working hand in
glove.
The good bishop tells them
where their candidate, Mr..
Hoover, stands in a speech
delivered Sunday. Here it
is in Mr.. Hoover own
words:
"The (Wickersham) COM
mission by a large majority
does not favor the repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment.
I am in accord with this
view"
And Bishop Cannon tells
them where Mr.. Roosevelt
stands in the same speech:
"Mr. Roosevelt's election
would place in the White
House an outspoken enemy
of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, who favors immediate
repeal"
Bishop Cannon sees clearly
enough the meaning Of the
pending campaign; and so
do these "wet" Republicans.
The latter are seeking to
give Bishop Cannon's can
didate an opportunity to
confuse the people in liberal
cenCers as to the issue. This
was done in 1928 in New
York.

TT will be reported with
J. much glee in the parti-
san press that Mr.. Hoover
has "won his fight" with
Congress in the matter of
relief. But nothing could be
easier than to win it. He
has not been able to carry
his own party strength for
his relief ideas; he has not
been able to dominate the
legislative branch at all, for
it has passed a measure Of
its own; but any one in his
position can veto a measure,
and it requires two-thirds to
override the veto.
When Mr.. Hoover vetoed
the relief measure passed by
Congress he not only vetoed
a Democratic bill, but he We
toed the bill that had the
support of more than 80 Re-
publicans in the House, in
Guiding some Of the most
conservative and thoughtful
among them.
He has been against the
use Of a penny of Federal
money to prevent starvation,
and here King Veto had
stood him in good stead.
He has been against an
adequate public works pro-
gram to restore a vast army
of the jobless to the pur-
chasing class, and here King
Veto has been his ally.

Mr.. Hoover Is Against
Modification

All that can be done that
will satisfy Mr.. Hoover will
amount to little. However,
a drop in the bucket is bet
ter than nothing: and the
country will know why moth
ing more is possible under
the shadow Of Mr.. Hoover's
veto.
And this shows the alb
surdity Of attempting a mod
ification Of the Volstead act
at this session. That is one
of the issues of the cam
paign. It is matter on
which the people will vote
in the autumn.
Mr.. Hoover is against
modification and the Demo
Gratis in their platform are
for it. Some of the wet Re-
publicans in Congress, en-
barrassed by the uncom-
promisingly dry attitude of
their Presidential nominee
and the dishonesty and
mockery of their prohibition
plank, are demanding that
Congress modify at once.
These men do not speak
for their party, for their
party spoke against them in
their convention; they do
not speak for Mr.. Hoover,
for Mr.. Hoover has let it
be known that he stands
against anything that goes
beyond his platform.
The answer that should
be made these wet Republic
ans who have been repudi-
ated by their own party and
who lack the courage or
consistency to go over to the
Democrats in the election, is
this.

ance that your President,
who is your nominee and
your choice, will not veto a
modification measure before
you make your gesture.
The Issue Has
Passed to the People
Everyone knows Hoover
would veto such a measure.
Everyone knows it would
be impossible in the pres
ent Congress to muster the
two-thirds necessary to over
ride the veto.
And if politics is all these
distressed gentlemen are
thinking about, the parties
are on record in their con-
ventions and platforms, and
the issue has passed to the
people.
There would be some
point and less hypocrisy in
this move to confuse the
public mind if Franklin d.
Roosevelt were in the White
House to receive the meas
ure passed, instead of Her
bert Hoover.
For Roosevelt openly is
pledged to the signing of
the modification bill; and
Herbert Hoover is pledged
to veto one.
If the people want modifi-
cation and repeal, and if
these "wet" Republicans,
playing politics to confuse
the people in the interest of
the Antl-SaloOn League and
Bishop Cannon, who has just
come out for Hoover, want
it, they know how to get
what they pretend to want.
Put in power a party
pledged to these things and
a President who will ap-
prove the bill, and put out
of power the party pledged
against them and a Presi-
dent who will veto them.

A Trick That
Cannot Be Turned

Meanwhile, without max
ing any headway with the
American people as a whole,
the propaganda to rush this
country into the agreement
to transfer the debts of IA
nations to the backs of our
own taxpayers is on.
1t is such an amazing at
titude that Europe is taking
that there can be but one of
two possible explanations.
One is an almost incredible
audacity on the part of the
debtor nations; the other is
that some one high in the
councils of this country has
secretly given them assur-
ance that the trick can be
turned.
IT. is a trick that cannot
be turned. But it would be
interesting to know where
these European statesmen
got their confidence in their
capacity to turn the trick.

Divorce has became such a

it no longer means giving up
your husband, forever, but is
Just a sort of intermission be-

gets tired of the other woman.
In the modern love-chase,
many girls make the foolish
mistake of trying to run a man
down, when it would be so
much easier and simpler just
to trip him up.
This is the time of year
when the heart feels the wan
derlust; and many a woman
wishes that she could take the
bell off the family cat and
tie it around her husbands
neck.

Watson and the Power Trust

Most important of all problems which must be
settled by congress is the matter of electric power
The power trust is becoming the master of industry
The control Of power means control of every wage
envelope every pocket book. Electricity is fast sup
planting human labor 1t is the foundation of mass
production. 1t is essential to all modern processes
of manufacture.
On this matter all matters involving special
privilege Senator Watson has stood for the plumber
bund and the power trust. Whenever that question
has come before the senate, he has fought against
such progressives Borah and Norris He has stood
for the right loot by the few rather than the right
to live for the many.
Even if there were no other question involved, his
attitude on this one matter should keep him out of
the senate for the next six years. That question will
be definitely settled within this period That de-
cision will determine for decades whether industry
shall be free or be in bondage to the power group.
Contrasted with the attitude of Watson is the
declaration of Frederick Van Nuys who says that he
will join with the progressives in the senate this
and other matters.
Progressive and liberal legislation is needed to
restore prosperity to industry and permit to
work at a living wage ~tr
Owners and workers alike have common inter-
est in this matter. No employer, no worker, can
afford to permit this country to be mortgaged for
all time to the power trust.

No Threats. Please


Reports that owners Of industries and business
houses are attempting to their employees into
voting the employers wishes by threat of pay cuts and
loss Of jobs as to leave doubt but
that many misguided employers have gone haywire.
That method is not new 1t has been tried in the
past, sometimes successfully.
Job fear is prevalent. In this time of unemploy-
ment, such threats might have weight. But the de-
mand for such 1t is that worker give his vote well
as his labor for his wage is unAmerican not to
be tolerated
No thinking person believes that the result Of this
election will send the nation to the dogs no matter
what the outcome may be. Nor does any thinking
person expect that the verdict at the polls in Novem-
Der will send all the unemployed to jobs on the
ninth day of November.
The only security for any job or any pay envelope
lies in free, unpurchased thoughtful vote by the
men and of this country. That means
stability
The threat of loss of jobs or a cut in pay by any
employer is treason and should be criminal
ANY management that feels the need of such pres
sure to influence its workers ndics itself for inef-
cheney, incapacity, and abysmal stupidity.
The right to vote is sacred. 1t should not be tied
to pay envelope. 1t must not be put under a
masters lash to be herded to the polls.

shown more wisdom in the of their ballots than
have those who fill executive chairs

Newspapers and Crime

If there are two persistent popular impressions
about the modern newspaper it is that the amount of
space given to crime news constantly has increased
during the last generation and that this growing
volume Of crime news has stimulated the commission
of crime.
Unfortunately there has been little basis for prov
ing disprovng this assertion Studies have covered
too brief period and the samples have been in
adequate to furnish any grounds for decisive gen.
civilizations.
Now We have thorough investigation of the Sit
uation in the press Of large metropolitan center
Minneapolis In his book THE Presentation of Crime
in Newspapers" Professor Frank Harris of Eira col
lege sets forth the facts relative to crime news in
three Minneapolis journals for the year $780, lso4-5
and 1921. He made thorough search, covering
some s,216 issues
Professor Harris findings completely upset the
popular views regarding crime in newspapers Taking
crime news as whole, covering our country and
abroad, the relative amount of space given to crime
in the Minneapolis papers did not change materially
from 1890 to 1921.
when crime news was analysed into Its broader
