It was in his room at Chicago that the plan was formed to nominate Harding In 1920. But probably the wired Insistence of Boies Penrose from Philadelphia had more to do with the nomination.

The Croats are In fight ing mood, but realize their military weakness. Unless a high degree of statesmanship Is In evidence in the near future, the outlook is very dark for a country in which diplomacy has brought about the inclusion under one nation of races not homogeneous, and not too familiar with parliamentary government. Colonel Harvey was as unfortunate a selection a Harding could have made. He loved to stir things up. He shocked Englishmen by driving his own flivver about London.

He shocked American by raying in a public address that they were not "too proud to fight," but "afraid not to fight." Ht resignation was a relief to a Republican Administration.

A CHURCH VIEW OF THE LIQUOR ISSUE. brandt came to New York from Kansas City and started a crusade against speakeasies the night Governor Smith was nominated at Houston. Enforcement agents have been extremely active in this vicinity ever since.

After all these years they seemed determined to run down the rumor that liquor is being sold here. They have also heard that liquor is being smuggled into this country from abroad. There are 5,301 Protestant Episcopal ministers in the United States, and more than 2,000 of them answered the questionnaire of the Church Temperance Society on the effect of the Eighteenth Amendment and laws aimed at its enforcement, on the sociological development of America. The views Indicated should be fairly representative In their efforts to get at the truth, subpenas have been Issued wholesale to patrons of night clubs, and thousands of citizens were subjected to of the common opinion In this particular com the indignity of being "frisked" as they were leaving the He de France after seeing friends off for Europe.

Governor Smith reveals some heat but no ill-temper in his detailed reply to the charges against his legislative record preferred by William Allen White, subsequently withdrawn in their worst aspects by their author, and later reaffirmed in those worst aspects by Mr. White through the medium of the Republican National Committee, whose publicity director made shifty attempt to evade responsibility for publishing what Mr.

White had sent to him by cable. The Governor characterizes all of Mr. White's charges as "slanderous" and some of them as "vile." In offering proof as to their falsity he presents the official records of the Assembly when he was a member of it. Where Mr. White tried to make It appear that, as an Assemblyman, Mr.

Smith had voted for a number of bills designed to break down that portion of the Excise Law which prohibited the granting of a liquor license to any place within two hundred feet of a church or school the Governor shows that all of these bills except one were designed to permit a liquor license lor the Hotel Gotham, a reputable New York establishment at the corner of Fifty-fifth street and Fifth avenue. The hotel happened to be within two hundred feet of a church. The hotel management got around the law by renting a house outside of the limit, where liquor was sold and whence it was carried through the streets by hotel employees to guests of the hotel. This was entirely legal, but the spectacle of the public transfer of liquor was not an edifying one and Assemblyman Smith voted to end It and a Republican Legislature passed the relief bill for which he voted. of persons for gems or drugs by slapping them on the hips and chest is high comedy.

Giving subpenas to night club patrons was supposed to be drama. Mr. Tuttle's Intervention In the latter proceeding and the Lowman apology mean simply that some one higher up has called a halt to the frantic activity of enforcement agents. The conflict over enforcement methods favored the repeal of the Prohibition Amendment, though the vote was more than two to one that a Prohibition law does not offer the best solution not due to wet and dry convictions on the part of officials. The clash of views Is over the best way to get votes.

The Wlllebrandt view I I seems to be that the way to help Mr. Hoover is by spectacular raids and wholesale frisking of citizens. The opposing view that seems to pre- ail at the moment is that the recent perform ances of enforcement agents In New York are not so good for the Hoover campaign. Republican, Not Democratic, Party Responsible for Panics arise over night. Panics are merely the final breaking down or the culmination of long existing disturbances of financial and Industrial affairs.

Therefore, since the Republican party had control of the executive, and leg Problems of Obesity Reducing Grow Greater and Greater Daily for the problem of Intemperance. There Is nothing Illogical in the contrast of the two positions. A clergyman may hold, as, Indeed, most nonclerical reasoners hold, that the best solution of the problem lies in conversion of the spirits of men and women, not to law enforcement, but to sane and decent living; though he regards Prohibition as not an unwise governmental policy. For the present at least the Eighteenth Amendment is an academic Issue. The practical question before the American people is the modification of the Volstead law, favored by two-thirds of the ministers who answered the questionnaire.

This Involves also, in the popular mind, modification of the methods which enforcers have followed and which are responsible for many of the abuses which have made the law obnoxious to the masses In most of the cities of the land.

Moreover, since the panic of 1893 actually began In 1892 and came to full fruition in 1893, it is clearly chargeable to the Republican administration of Harrison, which handed it over to the Democratic administration of Cleveland.

Thus, it is plain that the Republican party is the party of national panics and the Democratic party is the party of national prosperity. JOSEPH P. REILLY. Brooklyn, N. Aug.

Certain cases arise from gland derangements and these require a special treatment. Among the results of obesity it is agreed that shorter life, predisposition to diabetes, high blood pressure, hears trouble and gallstones can be listed.

Statistics of the Metropolitan Life In-surance Company show that 53 per cent more deaths occur among men 50 to 80 pounds overweight than among those who are only five or 10 pounds overweight. Obesity also makes a surgical patient a poorer risk. Women seem to be more prone to overweight than men for a reason not made plain. The notion that they are naturally lazier is of Bolshevik origin and may be disregarded. OnS sees In magazines and even newspapers frequent tables showing what the normal weight of a person should be at a given age.

These should not be unhesitatingly accepted. The normal weighi of all persons six feet tall is certainly; not the same. This can be noted by studying the weights of champion pugilists about to enter the 'ring. They may be the same age and the same weight and one may be three Inches taller than the other.
