I, A report that Congressman Varo has
"been decided upbn as tho ''harmony" can
didate was branded by Senator McNIchol
s "too absurd for comment." It was
authoritatively stated In tho Vare camp
iht Congressman Varo has not yet made

There Is every Indication, however, that
Congressman Varo will make the race.
Should he delay his announcement too

Jthe political "Rlalto" today, Senators
Penrose and McNIchol will announce

In this connection, tno announcement

house .discovered a toot chest under his
bed, the windshield back of a sofa In the
parlor, tho tires In the cellar and tho top
In the yard Tho body and engine wen
found In a gnrage.
When pressed for an explanation, -.erro
said tho machine had been given to him
by the woman's deceased brother the Jav
before ht died and because it was of an
cient vintage he decided Jo take it apart
and put if Into proper working order.
But I .couldn't get the blamed thing
together again." he said, "and there wero

"A man who has been through It will

THE Anti-Saloon League Convention met in Atlantic City
lately and the FALLACIES indulged in by the speakers
were more numerous than were the audiences. The Secretary
of the Philadelphia County Sunday School Convention gave
utterance to the following FALLACY:
THAT the Internal Revenue Collector for the district com
prising Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery,
Bucks, Berks, Lehigh and Schuylkill Counties, reported a
decrease in the consumption of beer for the months of April,
May and June, 1015. This decrease, said the Secretary, meant
25,000 men in this district renounced alcoholic drinks.

the previous year,
EVEN making allowances for the increased Government
tax on liquors last year, the FACTS found in Uncle
Sam's figures, prove the FALLACY of the Sunday School
Secretary's boast of a decrease in drink and drinkers.
A SPEAKER on a Public Platform, and who is free from
interruption, may indulge in FALLACIES to his
heart's content. But FACTS are hqrdhearted as well as
