ALF LAM’S
AMBITION IS
BIG QUESTION
--
Kansas Man Is Quiet
As Prospect; Knox
And Hoover Doing
Most of Talking
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14. <4V-'The
political wise men looked toward the
prairies Friday and wondered
whether supporters of Governor Alf
M. Landon of Kansas would enter
him in republican presidential pri-
maries on which Increasing atten-
tion is centered.
The time is growing short
Friday was the last day for filing in
Illinois a state at least where back-
ers of Colonel Frank Knox. Chicago
publisher and Senator Borah of
Idaho will do battle far In advance
of convention days. Dates for filing
In several other primary states will
expire during the next month.
Knot More Receptive
For some time there have been
indications that President Roosevelt
and Senator Borah plan to enter
most of their respective party pri-
maries this year
Aside from Landon a speech at
Topeka. Kansas several weeks ago
in which he touched upon current
issues he has been comparatively
quiet for a potential candidate.
Colonel Knox on the other hand
has been on an anti-New Deal speak-
ing tour in the east for some time.
Before Knox left Boston Thurs-
day night to return to Chicago he
aimed another blow against what he
called "the Insanities of the New
Deal.” He forecast a solidly republi-
can New England In the November
election.
The publisher declared he would
not enter a pledged delegate slate
In Massachusetts where he was bom
but hoped "my friends in Massachu-
setts will find It expedient to join
with those in other New England
state* to support my candidacy"
Former President Hoover laughed
but did not comment when he was
told at Portland Ore. that Secre-
tary Ickes described him as “In a
constant state of Jitters.”
Hoover To Fight On’
Hoover declared “the country Is
facing the most critical situation In
70 years” and pledged himself to
"continue fighting the New Deal as
long as It exists " He and his as-
sociate. Ben Allen went t» Seattle
to confer with state republican lead-
ers.
The non-partisan woman congress
sponsored by the Chicago Tribune
heard attacks on and defense of the
New Deal Thursday night. Senator
Barkley <D-KY> the 1932 keynoter
challenged “those who Indulge in
unintelligent and indiscriminate
criticism" of the administration.
Judge George W. Maxey of the
Pennsylvania Supreme Court a re-
publican brought up the constitu-
tional question.
“The American people must decide
whether they will' surrender this
citadel and give up this charter and
threafter depend for their indivi-
dual liberty on thoee who shall hap-
pen to be entrusted with the vast
powers of a totalitarian state of 125-
000000 human beings" he declared. I
Liquor Import
Still Limited
To One Quart
Customs officials here wish to
make clear regulations concerning
importation of alcoholic beverages
by residents of Texas. Persons re-
turning from Mexico are permitted
to bring one quart of alcoholic bev-
erage. purchased Incidental to the
trip without payment of internal
revenue tax or duty However of-
Iicials said only one exemption will
be granted any one person within a
30-day period
The importation of liquor in con-
tainers of more than one quart by
two or more persons will not be per-
mitted. All containers should be of
one quart or less in capacity and
should be labeled. The label is nec-
essary fo rthe reason that the cus-
toms inspector must place on it a
stamp with the words “Imported in
Passenger’s Baggage" and his ini-
tials and date of importation.
Persons bringing more than one
quart of liquor will be compelled to
return the beverage to Mexico or
abandon it to customs inspectors.

A Roman centurion whose slave was sick
and near death sent to Jesus to heal his
servant. Feeling unworthy to have
Jesus enter his home he asked that he
only say the word that would heal and
Jesus commended this amazing faith.
Prom the realm of disease Jesus passed
to the realm of death to raise to life the
son of the widow of Nain who was just
being carried out of the city gates to be
buried. “Young man. I say arise** said
Jesua.
News of these miracles reached John the
Baptist discouraged in prison. He had
expected Jesus to be more severe in
»punishing people for sin. So he began
to doubt and sent two disciples to ask
"Art thou be that eometh or look we
for another ?**
As Jesus reclined st table in the house
of a Pharisee a woman whom he had
forgiven much sin showed her devotions
by weeping over his feet and drying
them with her hair. To rebuke the
Pharisee Jesus said “To whom little is
forgiven the same loveth little.**

BY WM. E. GILROY. D. D.
Editor of Advance
When a preacher or a teacher
whose teaching Is distinctive arrives
In any community almost inevitably
question arises concerning him.
'.hose who sense anything new or
dangerous In his teaching are apt
to be aroused while those who are
looking for some new emphasis on
truth and righteousness regard him
with hope
It was so with Jesus the Great
Teacher and particularly true of
Him because He came to the world
at a time when devout Jews were
looking earnestly for the prophesied
Messiah and deliverer.
John the Baptist might have
aroused such questioning. How-
ever. John was insistent from the
first that he was not the Messiah
but only a voice crying In the |
wilderness preparing the way for
the One greater than himself.
John had been cast Into prison
and there had come to him the
name and the fame of Jesus He
was immediately aroused. Was
this man whose wonderful works
were reported the Messiah for
whom they were looking or was
I he to be added to the number who
1 had already professed Messlahship.
only to disappoint the trustful?
John took the very direct course
of sending two of his disciples to
Jesus himself with the question
'Art thou He that cometh or look
we for another?” We must not
suppose that John was credulous
enough to take merely the assur-
ance for satisfaction but we may
suppose father that he would draw
his own conclusions from the na-
ture of the answer that Jesus would
give.
• • •
The answer brought by his dis-
ciples must have impressed John
at once. The Teacher whom he had
questioned made no bombastic
claims and gave no insistent as-
surances. He told the disciples of
John to go and report the things
that they had seen and heard that
the blind. were receiving sight the
lame were walking lepers were be-
ing cleansed that this Teacher was
doing other wonderful works and
above all. that the poor were hear- j
ing the preaching of good tidings.
If Jesus had wished to Impress
John other than by the reality of
His teachings and His works. He
might in the hearing of these
disciples have expressed His great
culogv of the prophet of the wil-
derness.
He waited however until the
messengers of John had gone
away and then He gave the great
eulogv of John the Baptist which
stands boldlv in the Christian nar-
rative and in all the records of
heroic life and character as an
outstanding description of a great
man shortly to be martyred for
the sake of truth and righteous-
ness.
• • •
We should perhaps not forget
that this was one young prophet*
tribute to another. The rugged ness
of John's life the picture that we
have of him in his rough garments
and long hair tend to make us
forget that he was not an old man
but a very young man.
Christianity began as a youth
movement. There was something
about it that was earnest im-
petuous determined.
It was a movement not bv men
of doubt but by men of convic-
tion; and men of doubt found
their convictions of faith develop-
ing as thev came face to face with
Jesus and realized what manner
of man He was.

Women should
take only
liquid
laxatives
at
Ik f ORE people could feel fine be
fit and regular if they would
only follow the rule of doctors and
hospitals in relieving constipation.
Never take any laxative that is
harsh in action. Or one the dose of
which can’t be exactly measured.
Doctors know the danger if this rule
is violated. They use liquid laxatives
and keep reducing the dose until the
bowels need no help at all.
Reduced dosage is the secret of
aiding Nature in restoring regularity.
You must use a little less laxative
each time and that’s w-hy it should
be a liquid like Syrup Pepsin.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and if
it doesn’t give you absolute relief if
it isn’t a joy and comfort in the way
it overcomes biliousness due to con*
stipation your money back.
