FRIDAY 1 WHAT’S GOING ON IN THE WORLD BY CHARLES P. STEWART NEA Service W iter Political advance agents are ar riving in Cleveland for the Republi can convention. It looks like only a four-day af fair, which Clevelanders don’t like. They wanted a week of it. How ever, there isn’t any goo dexcuse for stringing it out. Nothing less than a miracle can interfere will; Coolidge’s nomination. The vice presidential choice will be a west erner, to please the farmers. It’s likely he’ll be quite progressive, but the platform won’t be. This will enrage the insurgents. They may quit and name their own ticket. Even this won’t delay the regular convention much. • * * MAKING CLEVELAND DRY There’s every appearance of a strenuous effort to make Cleveland dry during the convention. Natural ly, it gives the law a very black eye to have things wringing wet when ever and wherever a lot of people have occasion to get together for a big time. Equally naturally there’s' a large element which WANTS wet ness on such occasions. Everybody’s curious to see which side will get its own way in Cleve land. • ♦ ♦ A SEVERE JOLT The soldiers’ bonus bill’s passage over his veto was a tremendous I polittical jolt for Coolidge, and all the more so right on convention eve. It didn’t weaken him, however, as a nomination candidate. ♦ * * TAXES Many predictions have been made that the president would veto also the tax bill, already passed by the Senate and just about to be voted on in the House. But this is un-' likely. Congress almost certainly would pass it over his veto if he did, like the bonus bill. To have his veto pverridden twice in a couple of weeks would be too much—damag ing to the Republicans at the polls. • » • ENOUGH ANYWAY Besides, it appears the present tax bill will give the government enough money to run on and a lit tle over, though the president and Secretary Mellon said they didn't think it would—not if the bonus passed. Senator Reed Smoot, who knows more about taxes than any body, declares the contrary. He ex plains the government will have about $2,000,000 left above expen ses, even after paying the bonus. * * * » 25 PER CENT Probably the main reason why the Administration dislikes the bill is that its own tax plan was turned down in Congress, and the Demo crats and insurgents fixed up the present one. Generally speaking, it grants lower taxes to poor people than the administration proposed and doesn’t reduce rich people's taxes so much. The average mac’s income tax is trimmed 25 per cert. This means, if he started to pay it in four installments this year, as the majority did, that he won’t have the last installment to pay. THOMAS GOES WITH JEFFERSON CHAMBER WAYCROSS, Map 30.—The Jefferson County Chamber of Com merce has engaged the services of C. C. Thomas of Atlanta, as secre tary. Mr. Thomas served in the same position in Waycross for three years and later has been with the Georgia Association. He comes with highest credentials; is already located there and has started work The cooperation between the of ficers and directors of the cousty chamber and the secretary make it evident that a wave of prosperity is sweeping over Jefferson and its de velopment auspicously begun. fouTlenerations Texas Lady Says Her Family Has Been Taking Thedford’s Black-Draught, When Needed, for Many Years. Alto, Texas.—“We inherited the use of Black-Draught in our family,” says Mrs Mary Shuptrine, who lives near here on K. F. D. 2. “My grandmother was an old woman when she died about ten years ago, and she had been using it literally ever since I can re member. She gave it to her children and grandchildren for biliousness and stomach complaints, so when I went to housekeeping we just naturally used “I give it to my children for a purgative whenever they need one, and we are never without it. Made into tea, it surely is fine. It’s the best home remedy for headache and consti pation I know of."- During over 80 years of its con tinued popularity, Black-Draught has become the standard liver medicine in many thousands of homes, where it has been found of g’-eat benefit in the treatment of constipation, biliousness, indigestion and other common hver, stomach and bowel complaints. Ten million packages of Black-Draught are now sold a year, as more and more people are learning of the value of this well-known remedy. Insist on Thedford’s, the only genu ine Black-Draught powdered liver medicine. At all dealers’.
