Connecticut's Republican Party Finds Itself Minus Issues, Save Roosevelt Hostility Leadership Falters, Seeks Public
 Aid by Survey.
Aid by Survey.
HARTFORD TIMES

those years which followed after the election of Lincoln and the Civil War.
 Not wholly uninterruptedly: the Republicans held their power and in Connecticut conspicuously, through most of the time since those distant days.
 The record of the Grand Old Party was In general one for the pride o. It's members in the long period, pride which bred self-com- placency It commanded immense prestige, and in this state develop cd almost Into Q complete political monopoly, until most recently, after the beginning of the Roosevelt Ad- ministration, and the successive terms of Governor Cross the party suffered collapse. So far as leader- ship in behalf of real issues, issues to move the masses of the people, 1t is now 50 poverty stricken that aside from Republican hostility to President Roosevelt, the party has no clear Idea of what 1t stands for
 Impressive illustration of this deep bewilderment. may be found in the current circuinstance that l,- 900 Connecticut Republican women, at the inStigation Of Public Rela- tons Commissioner Paul Cornell, and drawn from the i60 towns, will next week begin c survey conducted by questionnaire in hope to ascer- tain what particular political ideas the people would like to have form- ulated into Republican position.
 There was no doubt what the Re- pubiicang wanted when their party was formed in i86e. There was no doubt about 1t in the years of Re- publican primacy. There was no doubt 50 late aS President Cool idge's day or when President Hoover was elected. The party was born and did not survive on the basis of "sur- vey" to find out what it was. And one cannot have much expectation now that 1t can be revivihed through the survey process.
 Popular trend to c party is spon- taneous, 1t iS not created by com mittees but led by men who know what the people want and gpurred by conditions which arouse positive convictions in their minds. Bread lines and economic distress elected Grover Cleveland and turned the public to him. A desperate economic situation brought Franklin D. RooBe- welt Into power after tho nation had been beguiled by teh glowing ex- pectations of President Hoover, last exponent Of n efutll dinner pail which had carried along Republican success before him.
 MT. Roosevelt has presented chal- lenging Issues. They have split and broken old party lines almost bee yond recognition. He raised them in recognition of the mind Of the masses and which he perceived.
 A fioundering and befuddled Re- publican party, to the wonder of oil in view Of It's great past, is ct loss to raise any other issues than thoso which he and economic distress have forced upon the public attention. All that is as plain to Do seen as is 6,000-foot Mt. Katahdin protruding from the plains of Maine. No Surs vey Is needed Of obvious and ines. capable fact.

The late Simeon E. Baldwin, later Chief Justice and Governor, was delivering a political address urging the election of Grover Cleveland. In the course of his talk he remarked that the country had not had e real political issue in 20 years although 1t was suffering from many evils, chief among them unsatisfactory economic conditions and the exploi- tation of the people by combina- tons of great wealth, enabled to do SO because of Republican rule and the high tariff system. Now MT. Cleveland had raised Q genuine is- sue through his pledges of tariff re- form and 1t seemed c vital one.

JOB KILLER!

The Number job killer!
That is the way the Businessmen's
Tax Advisory Committee characterizes the
Federal Tax on Capital Gains
The reason for that is clear Jobs de-
pend on investment. And the capital gains

work, by eXacting excessive AsoapeualtiGs

wealth to, .,..,ats -.
This organization also points out
fact that is startling and is rot widely
known. According to L. S. Treasury data
for the year 1895. the capital gains levy is
a sock the little fellow tax In that
typical year. aggregate capital gains were
much larger in the lower income than in
the higher income brackets. And the ratio
OF capital loss (for which little credit is
given in making tax returrsl to capital
gains was highest in the lower income
brackets It's the little man" who gets
stuck hardest!
Businessmen aren't the only ones who
are fighting the capital gains measure An
army of distinguished economists are fight
ing it. publicistS by the score are describ-
ing It's dangers. Thus. Mark Sullivan re-
Gently wrote: If America is 10 be kept
going concern the capital gain tax must he
repealed or greatly modified. That is a
strong statement-but no stronger than the
subject ju>tifies. What sane man will
take a efance on financing d new en-
deavor. whether it be grocery store or
steel miil-knowing that if he loses his in
vestment he must bear the entire loss
hut that if he makes a profit, large part
Of L will be taken from him by this tax?

NERVES, DISEASE AND SPIRIT

The so-called diseases of civilized
man., those of the heart and stomach
have been produced experimentally in ami
mails bv the over-stimuatiOn of the nervous
system by means of body chemical
The experiments performed by Prof.
George Edward Hall, of the. University of
Toronto, furnish the first definite evidence
to link the strain and stress of civilization
with the diseases Of the cardovascular
system-killer. number one of modern
civilized man
Using d drug secreted by the nerves
of all animals, including man, in the course
of normal functoning, DR.. Hall was able
to produce in animals a major form of
heart disease, hardening Of the arteries,
stomach ulcers and other serious disorders
of the digestive organs His work con-
firms the belief that here exists definite
connection between nervous strain and GER
tain diseases, which observation has shown
is highly prevalent among professional
men and Others living ,under .eonstast,
strain. satpJg

tioning Of the aat9nomic' hefvQas' 5StAs'Fn
which controls the involuntary actiIitiassofo
the body, such as breathing, digestion,
heart beats, muscle responses, ETC.
We are inclined to believe that Prof.
Hall has made notable discovery, which
will lead to further study and may even
tually result in a complete understanding
of the sO-called diseases of civilization"
While he has gone a long way to establish
the fact that nerve secretionS cause these
diseases we do not believe that his re-
search covers the cause of the excessive
nerve Secretions. This, we believe, in
time will be found associated with the I'M
settled rstateeof the inner spirit of man.
Without any attempt to be technical,
we believe it'Will be found that the secre-
ton of certain nerves in the body is reg
ulated and sometimes stimulated by the
emotional status yof the individual. What
one might cah the inner urge to live is the
sparkplug Of the nerves. Mental and
spiritual states undoubtedly exert ire
mendOus influence upon the physical body.
Consequently, we believe, there is sound
scientific basis for the belief that practi-
cal spirit, at peace with the world, and
living in accordance with a sound phil
osophy of life is the best, if not the only
way to achieve complete health.

And ,the. handwriting on the

And they were having feast,
and in the middle of it, a hand
appeared, and wrote. And the
writing was not in their tongue
and the wise men could not in

But the queen showed up, and
she said person called Daniel
could read anything. So they
sent for Daniel-and sure enough
the queen was right. And the
writing said that the DAYS of the
