Will Bryan Bolt? Governor Cox apparently is faced by internal dissension in his party. The Democratic party instituted war-time prohibition, which later developed into the eighteentk amendment and permanent prohibition. The Democratic convention voted down both "wet" and "dry" planks for its platform, leaving that document non-committal on the subject, though really implying that the liquor question had been definitely settled by the eighteenth amendment. Then the Democratic convention proceeded to nominate for president Governor Cox, who is suspected of being moist, almost "wet," in his views. At least when Jim Nugent, boss of the Democratic party in his state, voted New Jersey's delegates for Cox he simply announced, "New Jersey votes 28 wet !" The element of dissension enters in the person of William Jennings Bryan, the ardent leader of the "dryest" forces in the Democratic party. Bryan introduced the "dry" plank that was defeated by the Democratic convention. This, together with the nomination of the "moist" Mr. Cox, has taken all the pep out of Bryan. "My heart," said Bryan in an interview following the convention, "is in the grave with our cause." To the question whether he will or will net support Cox he replied, "I must wait until my heart comes back to me." Gleeful Republicans will see here the chance of a split in the ranks of the Democratic party. Bryan apparently has a great moral issue and the precedent out of his own experience for bolting his party. When he was first the nominee of the Democratic party in 1896 he iViced the defection of the Gold Democrats under Palmer and Buckner. The cause for dissension, however, is more apparent than real. Were his perspective not warped, Bryan would realize that the Democratic platform's silence on the whole "wet" and "dry"
question is in reality a great victory for the "drys." Silence means assent to the eighteenth amendment, to prohibition.
It is true that Cox is accredited to the "wets." He 'was put across by Brennan of Illinois, Nugent of New Jersey, Taggart of Indiana, and Murphy of New York and Tammany. And all these
gentlemen and political bosses have been for
years chief spokes in the great "wet" political wheel.
What of it? Prohibition or the most recent phase of "wet" propaganda, the percentage of alcohol in light wines and beer, is a local and non-partisan issue. It will take congressional action to change the present law. Were he
elected president, the "wet" Mr. Cox could not
originate "wet" legislation.
Republican and Democratic representatives
and senators from "wet" districts and states will
vote "wet" on any sumptuary legislation. Those from "dry" districts and states will vote "dry." The solid South, overwhelmingly Democratic, is emphatically "dry." Democratic representatives and senators from that section will uphold the present "dry" law. The agricultural districts and states of the North are also as "dry" as a bone. Representatives and senators from such districts and states, regardless of whether they are Republicans or Democrats, will join forces with the southern Democrats to maintain the present "dry" laws. The two sections together give the "drys" an overwhelming preponderance in congress and effectively guarantee the efficacy of the eighteenth amendment, whether the "wet" Mr. Cox is or is not elected. Doubtless a short rest will restore to Mr. Bryan his proper perspective and he will see the situation in the above light. He will then probably take off his coat and get into the fray for the Democratic party, if not for the "wet" Mr. Cox. The "wet" and "dry" issue, therefore, cannot enter into the national campaign, regardless of the degree of moisture Governor Cox represents. Few voters will be fooled by this nominee's personal predelictions into voting for the Democratic party, assuming that Cox, if elected, can again make the country "wet." The national campaign will be waged around the record of the Democratic administration and, as President Wilson demanded, the League of Nations and, as many people hold, the surrender to it of this nation.

Subscriber How did the term the "ghost walks" applied to the receiving of wages, originate? Theatrical troupes in former centuries, usually played Shakespeare for a week at a time in cities on their itinerary. "Hamlet" was reserved for the last production, as this play, even if others failed to attract large audiences, was always sure to pack the house, as-
! suring the company of enough money
to pay their expenses and salaries. As the "ghost" figures in the play, actors used the term the "ghost walks," meaning that their salaries will be paid.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams
DIVIDED PEOPLE. Team work is an inspiring thing, no matter where it is applied. There is something about undivided effort that seems to increase the individual effort of everyone. Nothing deadpns and discourages like a person who ia divided in his purpose. The office worker who has his mind half the time on things outside and foreign to the interests of his job, harms himself much more than he does his employer. For his employer will scon discover the fact and get a new worker hut the worker is forming a habit that will soon make him worthless, no matter where he works or what he does. The man, or woman, who gets up eacli day with a feeling of hope and happiness in his heart, in constructing th path of a triumphant experience. For the man with a single, dominating purpose in his life is an undivided factor he knows how to work with pnyone with tho?e weaker, as well as those stronger than himself. Learn to co-operate, to co-ordinate to lift with other people. I recently read a most inspiring story of Eugene Grace, President of the Bethlehem Steel Company. He is one of the youngest great executives in the world. His life story reads likea romance. And yet there is little unusual about it when you come to look at it from every angle. He says that when he took up a task he did it as well as he knew how, concentrating on it all the powers at his command, and neglecting not a single detail. And so he kept growing and becoming more indispensible until one da v. when someone asked C harles M. Schwab, who thre was ;:ible to take his rlace seme day, Mr. Schwab pointed to Grace and said: ' That young fellow over there!" Eugene Grace is a wonderful example of the mm who has achieved thru undivided effort. Be glad of your chance, whether it be inside an organization or outside i.ne. Get the habit of concentration in everything that you do. Make every one of your abilities to belp th- other. Be an undivided human -being.

An' astrologer ha3 decided that Elwell's murderer was a man who knew how to discharge a revolver. Well, the police had got that far. In the bout between High Cost of Living and Summer Furs, Summer Furs seem to have won the first round. SOUNDS LIKE HASHIMURA'S WORK. Rule 2 for motorists in Japan runs as follows: "When a passenger of the foot heave in sight tootle the horn trumpet to him melodiously at first. If he still obstacles your passage tootle him with vigor and express by word of mouth the warning: 'Hi Hi!' " THE POLICE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT. Perhaps Elwell trumped his partner's ace? Joshua. The Atchison "Globe's" main hope is that Senator Harding developed no f rtistlc temperament while playing in the town band, for what this country needs today is not an artistic temperament. The danger is slight, if the reports that the senator played an alto horn are accurate. THE NOSEY REPORTER. Every day he asks questions of persons met on the street.

Declares Dreco has put a stop
to all these ailments. j "I can't praise Dreco highly enough ( for the good it did my wife." are the I words of Mr. Henrv Gates, 2007 E. j Eighth St., Muncie, Ind. j "She was always complaining of! backache, pains over her kidneys and j weakness of the back. After each' meal her stomach would fill up with j gas and often griping pains would ! strike her in the stomach. A lump; would rise in her throat that made her feel like she was choking. Her bow-!
els were badly constipated and she had to take medicine for this trouble every night; if she didn't she would suffer the next day; splitting headaches sometimes put her in bed. "The first bottle of Dreco worked a big change in her; her bowels hecame regular; pains left her back; she hasn't had a headache in some time now and her nerves are quieted so that she sleeps all night now. Her stomach is greatly improved and nothing seems to upset it as before. The gas does not form and she doesn't have that choking either. I sure am happy over her improved condition and we both think Dreco is fine." Stomach trouble is the direct cause of more derangements of the nervous system and general bodily functions than any other ailment. No other remedy has been declared such a success as Dreco, .which is a combination of Nature's own remedies for the blood, stomach, liver and kidneys, as is being proven by the many testimonials being daily given by well known citizens. All good druggists now sell Dreco and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Clem Thistlethwaite's seven drug stores. Advertisement.

THE 8 preferred stock of the Midwest Engine Company is, of itself, a good, substantial investment. Subjected to every test and surrounded by every safeguard which prudence might suggest it is a security that has back of it the judgment and capabilities of some of the best business men in Indiana. ; fj At this point the present Midwest offer rises above the average investment and shows far more than the usual attractiveness. For, get it firmly in your mind, when your preferred is retired, for every two shares of preferred you held you still hold in your premanent right one share of Midwest common, which cost you nothing, and which should, in the ordinary course of good business, acquire great value. From a standpoint of Indiana industry, this issue is historical. No issue offered the public has ever attracted greater business strength to it. Never before has the general public been admitted into the common stock holdings of such an important Indiana undertaking. Never before, to our knowledge, has an offering of this size been so readily absorbed by Indiana investors.
