The only real interesting news from
Cleveland this week will be who is to
be the candidate for vice president.
More than twenty-five thousand wo
men have been fined or sentenced to
imprisonment for violating, the Na
tional Prohibition law.
The men who commit crimes of
fraud or violence in this country must
all be of weak or defe'tive mentality

Confidence
Coolidge has no such lack of influ
ence with the republican national con
vention at Cleveland this week as he
had with congress at Washington dur
ing the recent session. He had only
to make his wishes known and they
wqre granted, without question.

In less than a year from the time
insulin came into use for combating
diabetes a prominent life insurance
company is able to report a small, but
probably significant, decline of 6.4 per
sent in the death rate from that di
sease among its industrial policy hold
ers.
From him you may buy,
with confidence, your
paints and varnishes —
he is a Fuller dealer.
Three years ago at Philadelphia the
Sentinel editor saw the first American
flag which Betsy Ross made out of
her petticoat. It should perhaps be
explained to the younger generation
that a petticoat is an undergarment
women used to wear in the revolution
ary days.
If Frank 0. Lowden, of Illinois, had
been nominated as the republican
candidate for president—or even vice
president—four years ago, he wouli
probably be President Lowden today.
He isn’t willing to run the risk now
of becoming candidate for second
place, however.
