ONLY OLD TARGETS LEFT

The Governor left his Presidential acceptance speech bit indefinite The result was that the Colonel, when came his turn, could only pour his fire at New Deal targets already set up. He could not take from Landon the task of filling in the details omitted at Topeka
 He varied from custom, as he said, in one essential, by giving a brief biography of himself.
 MT. Knox's success in the pub fishing business has prompted his supporters to describe him as a foreeful type, as exemplified likewise in his single-handed campaign for himself prior to the Republican con- Vention.
 But if he is elected, experience forecasts for him another job of second -fiddling to the Senate, a po- sition forced upon another Chica- goan, Charles C. Dawes, whose dy- mamie effort to reform" the Sen- ate got him nowhere.

KNOX PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE
 ROLE, POLITICS
Candidate Must Dwell at Length During Pres
 ent Campaign

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-A num- Der of politicians who do not envy Colonel Knox his Vice-Presidential candidacy presumed to see in the tenor of his acceptance speech some of their reasons for not liking such a place.
 By the nature of the case, Knox, as Vice Presidential candidate, is required to play the role of second fiddle no matter how much it may conflict with his personality and background.
 To another man falls the job of outlining his party's policies, and to Knox goes the job of dwelling at length" on these while he interspers- es them with broadside attacks on the New Deal.
 An examination of his acceptance speech in Chicago discloses the bulk of it was criticism of the Roosevelt administration. It was not his part to propose any new policies. That job is Governor Landon'S.

several million martyred relations
and friends.
NORMAL MEANING
So here goes for a few rude and
muchly needed public remarks on
the subject. The first being
Sensitiveness is NOT a mark Of
refinement
It is NOT a sign Of a high
strung" superior nature
It is simply a demonstration Of
Self1ShneSS and conceit.
In the normal meaning Of the
word, everyone is sensitive. We all
have pride-we all feel-some
more than others. But civilized
people learn early in life to con-
troll their SenSitivenesS, and to
take their hurts with sense and
good nature. For, obviously, the
world isn't trying to hurt them.
They're not that important!
Nor have even their nearest and
dearest friends the time to per-
secute them, if they so desired.
So If affrontS occur, they are un-
intentional, and should be treated
accordingly-as all well-balanced
people do.
Yet there are still thousands
who refuse to treat their bruises in
this casual manner. Are they,
then, really suffering more than
other. OeOple9 They are mott TheV
are simply making more of a fuss
over their sufferings-and for a
reason! Meaning what? ATTEN-
TON.
Super -sensitiveness" is a racket
whereby the ruthless egotist OBJ
tains the attention he Graves but
cannot otherwise command.
A mean definition? Yes-but
a true one. Study any chronic
sensitive" and you'll find stupid,
smau-minded bore who couldn't

over them.
So we'll established was this ira
dition that ladies who didn't get
their feelings hurt easily were con-
sidered lacking. Not quite genteel.
Virtuous, maybe, but just a little
mite coarse.
Fifty years ago. You'd think
that notion would change, with a
practically remade world. But
you'd think wrong. Sensitiveness
is still going strong as one of our
Major RefinementS. If you don't
believe it, you should read my
mornings mail.
There, in every degree of sniffle,
come the Suffering Souls of both
sexes, and with every degree of
heart-break. All of them still firm,
lv believing that sensitiveness is
omething Special. and that they
deserve medals for being that way
Which must certainly be tough on
