ought to be put under the ban, it is this way: You

is a shrug of the shoulder, a lifting of the eyebrows.
There if a lowering of the voice, with the preface-
“They say." Even when the gossip fails to give his
authority, he has put an evil Moa late your mind
respecting the person of whom he speaks. You can-
not rid yourself of the suggestion. The impression
stays. The suspicion lurks. A great wrong is done.
"They say." The ears that are eager for that always
finds a' mouth to pass it on to other eager ears. The
assassination of character has began. What “Ther
say" may sometimes be a true message. Bet to it a
necessary message? Will it make the old world
better or worse by the telling of it? It la very plain
that much suffering and aorrow might be prevented
by cutting these ugly words oat of your vocabulary.

MARRIE CORELLI
The highbrow critics jeered her name, and said
her fiction was a shame. She couldn't write worth
twenty cents, declared the come-to-judgment gents.
But queens would lap aside their crowns, and doff
their ermine hand-me-downs, to read Corelli's latest
yarn, that critics all denounce and darn. And prel-
ates, tired of tithe and text, of questionings by souls
perplext, of problems old and problems new, were
glad to find a quiet pew, and there peruee till dark-
ness fell the tales Corelli told so well.” And on the
lonely, windswept downs the shepherds, poor and
simple clowns, while toiling through Corelli's page;
thought her the wonder of the age. The plowman
paused to rest his team, whose Banks were wet
with sweat and steam; and from his cummerbund
he drew a stained Corelli book or two. The sailors
on the struggling barks, the plutocrats, ths easy
marks, the fishers seeking canned sardines, the act-
ors in their limousines, the winners and the also-
rans, were numbered with Corelli fans. So let the
slanted critics jeer around Corelli's snowy bier. The
highbrow critics cannot reach the common people
when they preach; to please each other they pro-
ceed to write the painful, caustic screed; they pile
their brochures on the shelves, for no one Hade them
but themselves. And wise Corellis sidestep Art
and strive to reach the human heart.

that Mr. McAdoo would be nomi-

Joseph E. Guffey, national com
mitteeman from Pennsylvania, also
arrived still as ardent a Governor
Smith rooter as a year ago. He
Mid the great majority of the dele-

Smith ‘o the end." He opposed
changing the two-thirds rule, urged
modification of the Volstead act and
stood with Brennan of Illinois
against the Ku Klux Klan. .
Managers of ths boom for David
F. Houston, former secretary of ag-
