POWER OF THE PRESS. Not tha least of the ignincant lesaons that may be found In the LaFollette victory In Wisconsin, whan that leader of Independent and railcal theorise won over organized forcea of the f larding administration, tha republican senatorial committee and ot,her allied forcea of privilege, is that the power of the press la limited. In that campaign only two dally papers gave any support whatever to the LaFoilette campaign. Every other large paper in that at ate waa opposed to him and the two which were friendly had somewhat limited circulations. Those who see In the comirur. of the dlraet primary and the enlarged power of the peorle In their own government a transfer of rulerahip from the old party bosses to the editorial room will be disillusioned by this Wisconsin vote. The power of any newspaper la measured by its Independence. Its fidelity to truth. Its r.airnes in presenting facts, lte ability to think with the people. rather than for the people. Wherever a newspaper aun-enders Its ideals to Its prejudices It loses any power to direct public thought. Sincerity ha an unmlstakeabls ring. The spurious In print Is as easily detected as the lead dollar. Selfishness 1 as discernable in the p. inted age a it is In any other walk In life. Newspapers which have power and influence are those whose attitude toward public affairs la dlctsted only by a thought of service. When their motive becomes revenge, the advancement of some special Interest, the pleading of special causes. thlr Influence upon the readers disappears. That Is why the people of Wisconsin, reading daily In the hundreds of dally papers the vicious attacks upon Fighting Bob. perusing the Impassioned appeals for his defeat, were able to cast 4: side the suggestions, for they knew by long years of service that this Wisconsin statesman might be mistaken in his course at times but that his mistakes, when made, were those of judgment and never of the heart and that he has only the thought cf really serving the people who elected him. This is the day of Independence in politics and in elections. The newspaper which have influence .are those who are untrammelled and free to tell tha truth They are the ona which bear no shack- ..! of party label and no chains of regularity. They ire the ones jrho give the truth, no matter what it may be. trfih whose advice Is recognized as coming tiom an unselfish desire' to aid. not capture. The day c? the party bosses went with the com ting of the primary which placed power in the hands of the people. No other selfish power , will replace the old time dictator, not even an organized nres. The people r-arc thinking for themselves and wiee publishers will hesitate before they Join in a concerted action ,to crush truth, wherever and whenever it seeks expression.

iRT IN ATTIC. A granddaughter of John D. Rockefeller. daughter of the head of the harvester trust, has .leased an attic, or so she describes it. and announces tha she is on her way to a career in giand opera. As a matter of fact her definition of an attic Iwould probably be far different from that of the tcrson who really knows what privation may be rnd who is forced by necessity to live under the . s of some forlorn and abandoned house. Many people make the mistake of believing that , renins I created by Its urroundings and that, because many of the greatest contributors to the SPraiaVa -ore of beauty, art and literature have lled in squalid surroundings, t tr work Is the rerult of the penury. Th genius who rroduccs a great play, a lasting ipicr. of art or developes a wonderful talent In an attic does so brcauee he Is so fired by purpose that like la willing to acrif.ee everything else to his one ambition Lincoln was nM great because he was born in a L)og cabin. He was great because he was wi.iing to 5 ,y the pr:ce to rise above the condition in which lie fount! himself and to achieve the object of his The te:nptation cf poverty is probably greater than those of wealth and the man or woman who tiles to manuracture a shield from the externals of life only confesses to weakness. Unless the potential opera alnirer is able to cast side the tempting urge to Indulge in the easy pleasures furnished by wealth, she is not likely to be able to forgot the dicomforts of comparative poverty, which have a way of forcing themselves upon the attention. Unless the artist Is eble to forget the fact that . hvos in a barren room and fix his mind only upon the vision cf his soul, he would be no artist bit wonld probably, at the first cold breeze through the chink of hia walls, hustle around the corner. gt a job selling soda water and forget his dreams Art In attics Is one of the old traditions, passing with the real attics of a half century ago. Genius, when It really exists, la found in that capacity for hard work and singleness of purpose which enables Its possessor to driv ahead despite any obstacle, to forget the softening influence of luxury or the driving hardnesa of poverty and t strive only for the one thing worth while. The rich Elrl In an attic is a romantic, not an important picture.

GALLERY GODS. Lee Shubert, prominent showman, predicts that In a few years there will not be any "peanut galleries" left in New York City theaters, except in grand opera housea. The passing of this famous institution, the gallery, has become a noticeable tendency in the architecture of new theaters. And. with Its passing, another phase of glamor loss out of life. For what modern thrill equals the Saturday night atamnde Into the gallery, yearn ago. to see such favorites us "Primrose and West Minstrels," "Eight Bells." Lotta. Mrs. Leslie barter. "The Black Crook" or Richard Mansfield In "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?" Most spectacular of the old-time extravaganzas was Klralfy's "Excelsior." which toured the country In 1884 with 350 people in the company. The gallery never forgot It. The old-time gallery was a symbol of democracy. Elsewhere h: the theater a spectator felt uncomfortably cut-of-place unless he had on hia Sunday clothes and a starched collar as high as a pite fence. But In the gallery, even overalls were good enough. A big bruiser of a watchman, armed with a loaded cane and made doubly ferocious by a walrus mustache, kept order. "Hats off. boys!" Then the peanut-munchers stamped their feet and whistled like a hurricane, as footlights went on and house lights off and curtain rose on the flret act. The gallery, with its vehement disapprovals of bad acting and delays in shifting scenery, with its caustic cat-calls that said more than a dramatic critic could get In a column, was the terror of actors. They dreaded it because the gallery was tne supreme court of public opinion. The performer who couldn't, please the gallery soon had to qu't the profession. Hence the expression. "Playing to the gallery." Big changes, such as the passing of the gallery, are dim reflections of sweeping and fundamental readjustments In the actions and conditions of the public. Some students of mob tendencies think the gallery is disappearing because the "gallery gods'' now go to the movies. That is only partly true, for the gallery collectively had keen discrimination and an absc'ute intuition for recognizing and appreciating "fine actin'." All this was on a plane that only the "legitimate" stage can satlsry. More probable Is the theory, that money is more plentiful among the people than yea.ago, and that the element that used to find it difficult to raise two-bits for gallery admission now parks its car and eits through the show with the elect.

I CHINESE METHOD. Listen ior a moment to one John McCardle, chairman of the state public service commission, as he talks about the condition of the traction companies of the state. They are bankrurt. says this servant of the people, and their plight comes from the fact that the auto truck has taken away their business on short hauls of freight. These are the facts, as he gives them and he is probably correct. When you examine his remedy for the situation, you wonder whether the governor has not selected hia agent of the people from China, for it i peculiarly oriental In Its logic. The public service commissioner would place huge tax upon the auto trucks In order that the traction companies may make profit. It may be taken for granted that the reason that the auto trucks get the business is that they do the work cheaper or more satisfactorily. It may be taken for granted that the people who ship by truck, rather than traction, save money by doing so. Now the defender of the public right suggests that the trucks be taxed so that they will have to charge their customers more and this extra charge of course, will be passed along to the users and consumers of tho things so delivered. Had this state official lived In the days of the stage coach, he might have been expected to suggest that the government place a prohibitive tax upon all locomotives In order that the drivers put out of business by steam, might make a living. His course would rob the people of any advance in methods of doing business through the expedient of making all innovations and labor saving devices so costly that the people cannot use them. If the traction companies are in trouble, there are other ways of preserving them and saving them than by making their more efficient and cheaper competitors raise prices. In this day when economy of transportation is a necessity, it might seem that those who represent the people would catch some of the spirit of the times and not try to blockade progress. After he gets his tax on auto truck he should try to tax the telephone out of existence in order to restore the old time courier on horseback: the electric companies so that the candle makers may corns back profitably; and the laying of pavements to that the blacksmiths and wafonmakers can thrive on repair Jobs. Or perhaps the governor should send for a real Chinaman and put him on the Job. 0 rft (Seattle Star.) A $5,000,000 building project, in which homes will rent for 9 a room monthly, is started by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Haley Fiske, the company's president, turns the first spadeful of earth, in Long Island City. It la an experiment in scientific economics, and interesting. In beautiful mountain of Weat Virginia, the Ralelgh-Wyomlng Coal Company trie a similar plan. Bungalows are for miners and have electric lights, bathrooms, running spring water, open tire- : iaces, etc. The rent is only $2 a room a month.

MENACE FROM WITHIN WHJM H npKEATKBre OLft PI CK AND HAPPIlast There Is a movement on loot to try to prevent people by law from making wise Cracks about prohibition. When Woodrow Wilson was president and the democrats were running around tearing each othet's hair because business got so rotten. Woody issued his famous statement about the depression was largely fancied, chiefly psychological so he said and people were urged to talk optimistically and things would improve. The railroaders nd coal men. follow the lead of the country's column conductors, and quit work and the public is urged to obey the constitution and practice obedience to keep down radicalism growing out of the strikes. So for a long time, we have been directed to do certain things in our dally lives to eliminate certain evils, so The Tower now suggests quick and immediate action against the curbed rattle brain bloke, whether he be mar. woman or child or even the beast of the field, that persists in talking continuously every waking hour th?se days about the hot weather. Taking as our slogan. "The Hot Weather Conversationalist Must rJo!" the management of The Tower therefor, today announces a system of penalties we think should be nforced at one, without further delay, against the hot weather pest: (a; Minimum fine of 11-00 and costs with six months on the, state penal farm for the person who remarks to another: "Hot, haint it?" (b) "It seems hotter today than yesterday, don't it?" This expression, which is very seldom heard (except possibly in the larger cities) shall be regarded by authorities as little short of sedition. Anyone committing this offense shall be compelled to spend all future Sundays In Walkerton. until death comes to their relief. (c) Special punishment is recommended for the extremely clever party that says to you. "This hot weather sure makes you wish

for the old beer back again ' Thia aggravating type of criminal bhould be mads to stand in the court house drinking fountain every day at meal times, the water to be Withdrawn from the fountain and hot molten metal substituted instead. (d) Numerous penalties ranging in severity from being forced to drink a chocolate soda to parading through Niles in Russian boots hall be Inflicted on other fields in human form, who persist in Impressing on you how hot it is: the severity of the penalties to be decided by The Tower management. (Note: A similar program designed for the gupression of the cold weather conversationalist will be announced early In December. Watch for it.

One of the Tower's lynxed correspondents radioa in to us the startling bit of information that they heard us grossly insulted at the home of Hugo Peters. West Marion street, within the pan week. It seems that Hugo was entertaining ome company. One of the guests hesitated when the pach pie course was rt ached It appears that the pie was about four or five stories high, much higher than any on Michigan street, and each piece was about a foot square. The guest having eater, heartily Ftalied on the pie course, when the traitor and back biter. Peter spoke up: "Oh. go ahead and eat that, it won't hurt you It's just filled full of air like like like Bill Armstrong." Mr. Peters' every move by day and night is now being followed minutely by trained detectives, working under th- direction of this department. We were the quests of Charles B Sax at the Kiwanis club yesterday. Mr Sax outfumbling us for the lunch check. Hot. isn't it?

YOUR HEALTH-

Enthroned in its bony temple, the skull, the brain presides over the nervous system. Through the many branches of this system every part of the body is reached and controlled. Exactly as a train dispatcher sits In hJs office, directing all the traffic movements of a great railroad, so the brain is the administrator of the complicated nerve lines running from scalp to toe, from heart to fingertips. Not only Is the brain sheltered by the skull, it has also, for protection against jolt or jar. Its coverings called "meninges." The brain and meninges are richly supplied with blood-vessels, and. In normal conditions, life runs on with no consciousness on our part of the activities of this, our most Important organ. The first warning of anything wrong inside the skull is a headache. There are many varieties and many causes of headaches. The first variety of which mention will be made is the congestive headache. When your head feels swollen and the pains are of a throbbing or bursting nature you have a congestive headache. Your face may be red. Your eyes may be congested. Every step or jar hurts your head. Bright lights and noises increase the agony, and life seems not worth living. Usually this headache indicates

nothing more than some irregularity of habits, over-exposure to thk sun, or indiscretions in eating or drinking Full-blooded persons, or those having high blood-pressure, and women, with their complex nervous systems, are most frequently affected. Nervous headaches, so-callfd are the headaches resulting from mental fatigue, worry, loss of sleep or overexcitement. You all are undoubtedly familiar with the gastrin headache, or sick headache, which usually is the direct result of improper eating and drinking, with the accompanying absorption of poisons not properly eliminated from the body. Headache is a common accompaniment of eyestrain, either "hrough overuse of the eyes or because of the need of glasses. Any one of these forms of headache may be periodical, coming on every Sunday, once a month or at other regular intervals. Pain of any description is Nature's warning that something Is wrong. A physicaj indiscretion of any sort may cause a single headache that will continue for a couple of hours or possibly a day or so. This experience, if not too often repeated, may be disregarded. but frequent headaches even if not severe, should he made the occasion for a physical survey. They may Indicate serious impairment of health, even kidney disease or brain disturbance.

His brain Is quick In learning, but I've doubts about him still," Said Life, "and so I'll test him." and he summoned Failure grim. And pointed out this eager and ambltious youth to him. He wtnked his eye and whispered: "There'a a boy I know Is bright. But I wonder If he's manly and Is brave enough to fight? Just knock down the- things he's building, wreck his youthful dream, and then We'll see tomorrow morning If he starta it up again. 'Tvs let him be untroubled, for I rather like the boy. But the notion that I'm easy is a thought I must destroy. rr, block hia way with danger, do the

worst that you can do. And I'll see if he is willing to stand 1

up and fight with you." Then failure came and tried him and he knocked his cajole down.

And he spilled his hopes in ruins 1 and he mocked him in the; town; He sneered at him and Jeered him. but he found the yc ungster . same. For he answered each disaster with "I'll get there, just the same!"

Then Life called smiling Glory, and
