WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, OCTOBER 22, 1924 DEATH PLAYS LONE HAND WITH HOPES OF REPUBLICANS Tragedy Has Stalked In G. O. p. Ranks for Past Four Years WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—Trage dy, which has stalked Republican Old Guard ranks for the last four years reached its culmination in the suicide by gas of Senator Frank Brandegee of Connecticut. In no similar period has the Hand of Death played so important a part in the destinies of the party. To some of the near-superstitious it has seemed that Fate itself had intervened to play a guiding hand in the party’s affairs. The death of W. Murray Crane in October, 1920, less than four months after he had brought about the nomination of Calvin Coo’iige as candidate for vice president, was followed in December, 1921, by the passing of Boies Penrose, who play ed an equally deciding role in the selection of Harding as the party's choice for, president. Crane and Penrose were tj a greater extent than any other two men in the party’s history the “men Behind the Machine.” “Boss” Crane and “Boss” Penrose, they were call ed. In matters of Old Guard poli cy, which was dominant Republican policy, their word was law. Having made Harding and Coo lidge the Republican ticket for 1920, these men passed on. With them passed the firm control which had ruled the G. 0. P. for a full decade. Though their reign had been hard, it. had been effective. Discipline had been maintained. Not even the power, personality and popularity of Roosevelt could defy their demands and get away with it. They beat him in 1912. In doing so they lost the election to Wilson, but retained intact the or ganization machine, which to them was more important than winning the election. In early August, 1923, President Harding died and Calvin Coolidge succeeded to office. Fate had given the wheel an other twist and placed in the Whc-- House a man who—at that time, at ] eas t —was far from a favorite with the powers then in control of the party machinery. Contray to the hopes and ex pectations of the half-score “lead ing” Republicans who looked long ingly toward the White House, be lieving Harding’s death opened the way to their candidacy, Coolidge as president evidenced an interest m his job he had not revealed as vice president. It soon became apparent he didn't propose to step aside at the end o! the partial term to which he ha 1 succeeded. He knocked the orep from under all nival ambitions, for the party could not refuse him re nomination without conceding v error in ever having nominated him in the first place. So he wasf (renominated hamis down, though a lot of “leader ' had their fingers crossed. » » » All of this result is entered ur ‘in Washington’s Ddomsday Book as due to Fate rather than to oli tics. Persons not fatalistically in clined say that it was just “Coolidge Luck,” or that it was simply the log ical result of events. That Fau governs the event they do not con cede. But while this situaation was de veloping within the party as to its leadership in the presidential cam paign of 1924, no less important conditions affecting Old Guard con trol in the Senate were being brought about. A roll-call in the Senate todajy will find no less than 13 members the G. 0. P. “leaders” could count on for all good party measur es in 1921 no longer present. That num ber itself may seem significant. Penrose, Knox, Nelson, Colt, Dil lingham, Page, and Brandegee are dead.

Oct- 2 . The tubborn conservatism of the Mo llar.;medan custom with regard to the social isolation of the women in Palestine may soon give way be fore the movement launched by Arab feminists for the removal of the veil. The Holy Land, back ward in many respects, is behind such Moslem countries as Turkey and Egypt in breaking the shackles bolding women in seclusion. The movement for the enfran- Kcllogg, Frelinghuvsen, Town send, Poinddexter and McC-mber were defeated and are out. Sterl ing and McCormick are on their way. Truly, death and devastation has laid a heavy hand on the Old Guard these last four years! MAY PROVEFATAL When Will Amerfcus People Learn The Importance of It? Backache is only a simple thing at first; But if you find tis from the kid neys; That serious kidney troubles may follow; That dropsy or Brights disease may be the fatal end, You will be glad to know the fol lowing experience. ’Tis the statement of an Ameri cus citizen. , Mrs. W. I. Crapps, 912 Elmo St., says: “My back ached constantly and when I stooped I could hardly get up. My kidneys acted too of ten and my feet bloated badly. I was nervous, too. After using Doan’s Kidney Pills from Howell’s Pharmacy, the bloating went down and I was rid of the backache.” Price 60c at a!1 dealers.

Y. adv chisemcnfi of Moslem women in I'ale tine is ot recent origin and is traceable to the influx of people from the west, especially Jewish imn.igrar.-s coming to settle in their national home. As the first step toward their emancipation the women demand ecclesiastical sanction for the re moval of the dark veil from their faces. If such flying in the face of age-long custom does not win official approval, some of the lead ing Arab women of Palestine are determined to do what their Mos lem sisters did in Turkey, where the veil has been entirely cast off, or at least in Egypt, where only a light transparent veil is still worn ext'ndnw from below the nose.

You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to I take. Creomulsion is a new- medical I discovery with twofold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and kills the germ. Os all known drugs, creosote is I ognized by the medical fraternity as the greatest healing agency for the treat ment of chronic coughs and colds and other forms of throat and lung troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the inflamed mem branes and stop the irritation and in [ flammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and destroys the germs that lead to consumption. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac tory in the treatment of chronic coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal bronchitis and other forms of throat and lung diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or the flu Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long stand ing, is not relieved after taking accord ing to directions.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER ance of women .has retarded the development of the Arab drama, and it is the hope of the feminists that the admittance of Moslem women to the theatrical stage will follow the removal of the veil. Arab women of Palestine are keen not only on social emancipa tion but on participation in poli tics. “Take us out of our insulting se clusion and remove from our faces the offensive black cloth, give us our opportunity as free members of a free people, granting us the right to fight with you for our national ideals,” says in part an appeal ap pearing recently in an Arab lan guage newspaper in Haifa. “Then we shall in gratitude sacrifice our jewels, delivering up our gold NEW METHOD HEALS PYORRHEA Ten Year Bad Case Completely Healed in a Short Time Writes Florida Woman Faced with the loss of her teeth, after 10 years suffering, Mrs. M.
