The platform adopted by the meet
ing called for preservation of the Con-

the American form of government. 1t
accused President Roosevelt of aban-
doning faith in the Constitution and
the doctrines of Thomas Jefferson and
of "repudiating, abandoning, and side
tracking" the platform on which he
was elected in 1892 1t said:
"We do not regard the occupant of
the White House as Democrat.
"He has broken the pledge Of our
party and violated the platform of
1882.
"We here today affirm our faith in
that doctrine"
1t is not easy yet to establish the
possible results of the Talmadge move
ment. The administration leaders re-
fuse to take the Georgia governor
seriously or to admit that he can i'm

FOR me-

MORE people could feel fine. be
lvl fit and regular, if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is

Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use liquid laxatives.
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
Reduced dosage is the secret Of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use little less laxative
each time, and that's why it should
be liquid like Syrup Pepsin.

President Asks Repeal
of Three AAA Acts

IN A surprise message to congress
l. President Roosevelt recommended
the prompt repeal of three acts auxil-
larry to the AAA. These are the Bank
head cotton act, the Kerr-Smith to-
bacco act and the potato control act.
The first named is the only one whose
enforcement has been attempted and
it's validity is up for decision by the
Supreme court. In view of the courts
decision invalidating the AAA it was
agreed by everyone that there was no
value in keeping the three auxiliary

the administrations substitute for the
AAA, was given the hesitant approval
of the senate agricultural committee
by a vote of Is to 2, although Chair
man Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina
said he personally had some doubts
as to its constitutionality. The meas

riculture to remove 100000 acres
from cultivation and give him even
wider powers than he had under the

Winter.
Several lads living near or on an
Army post there found a nearby river
in admirable condition for ice skating.
There were strong breezes most Of the
time, so they contrived some individual
sails which they held out in front Of
them, gliding about like so many hu-
man ice boats.
One day when an especially auspi-
cious zephyr was giving them great
sport, the skaters espied q red fox
crossing the ice. Eliza. like, some dis
tance away. They tackled about and
set sail for Reynard, chasing him
madly down the river and baying like
stag hounds. The fox, unable to get
much traction on the ice. was having
a tough time Of it and seemed about
to be the guest of honor at kill, when
the wind died down and the hounds
collapsed like so many pricked balloons.

Psychology
RY DIR. JESSE w. SPROWLS.
Psychology Of Motion.

THE earth is, in round numbers, 25,-
IL 900 miles In circumference. II
makes a round trip every "a hours.
This means that we travel mile every
three and one-half seconds and never
know it. Our sense of motion, so Tar
as the earth's rotation Is concerned,
is one grand illusion (faulty percep-
tion). To put it in other terms, we
are so accustomed to that form OF mo-
ton that we cannot perceive 1t.
In q less degree, all our sense OF
motion is a matter of illusion. Our
expectations enter into the facts as
we see them, and distort those facts.
You have no doubt had the experience
of sitting in a railroad train which
would soon start and Of looking out
the window and noticing that you
were moving. A moment later you
discovered that your train had not yet
started-it was another train that had
done the moving.
How can we explain this illusion?
Your eyes were fixed upon the other
train, so that when it began to move
your eyes followed it. This movement
Of your eyes, of which you were un-
aware set up certain strain or stress
in the muscles Of your eyes. And you
translated this muscle strain, which
you would have had if your own train
had moved, into the ordinary and ex-
pected thing-movement. To put it
another way, your ordinary experience
on a moving train was induced by the
moving of the other train, which tenn
porarily held your attention.
We sometimes imagine that we move
faster than our grandfathers did.
When the railroads put in their ap-
pearance about 100 years ago, the peo-
pie marveled at the idea of travelling
10 or Is miles an hour. Our stand
ard is three or four times that, and
we take 100 miles or more an hour
as plain matter of fact. The i'm
portant thing about this comparison
Is that all our sense Of motion is q
matter of habit and experience. So,
=. for their day. our grandfathers trav-
eled just as fast as we do today.
