ALCOHOL As A PARALYZER.
DR.. Warmer Says it Does Harm in
Medicine-Other Doctors Differ.


Medicine-Other Doctors Differ.
The question of the good or bad of
alcohol was pretty thoroughly dis
cussed at the meeting of the Kansas
Medical society.
DR.. Warmer read a paper entitled
Alcohol Not a Stimulant."
He said. Alcohol is not a stimulant
but a paralyzer. If a substance is q
paralyzer or depressor in large doses it
certainly has the same effect in small
Ter quantities.
IF a toxic dose of acohol viii cause
diminished nerve and muscular power
and finally complete coma and paraIy-
sis is seems very plausible that the ac-
ton of it, even beginning with a small
dose and Increasing it, paralyzes the
nerve centers.
THE venera BILE DR.. n. S. Davis of
Chicago who has been in active prac-
tice since 1897 and who has never used
or prescribed liquors Of any kind says
How any material substance can pos
sess such properties as to be capable
of diminishing the sensibility of the
whole nervous system, of imparing the
Oxidizing power of the blood corpus
cles, lessenfng metabOlic chances in all
the living structures, and by contact be
absolutely poisonous or destructive to
both vegetable and animal life, and yet
be capable of stimulating the exhaust
ed nervous system, OF becoming real
food and Of exhibiting such ubiquitous
tonic powers as to constitute a univer-
sal remedy for debility of every kind
is certainly beyond the comprehension
of an ordinary mind"
DR.. McCandless of Holton: ct have
been practicing medicine for a good
many years. am an old man and 1
heartily agee with the paper. 1t is a
truthful paper. Alcohol certainly does
more harm than good in any case"
DR. Seabrook echoed Dr. NIcCandless'
sentiment
Il don't know what alcohol does in
Kansas" said DIT Wainwright Of Kan
sas City, but it is certainly a stfmu-
liant in Missouri I don't believe there
is any more valuable stimulant in use
By the medical profession than alcohol

abused. / know there are some cases
in which you are going to lose your

stimulants."
DR.. Dougherty of Junction City:
Forty years ago heard DR.. N. S.
Davis abuse alcohol as he does today
and I accepted his advice. But after
had had a few years experience for my
self I found that some stimulant was
absolutely necessary in many cases and
that alcohol was the best stimulant.
DR.. Davis was a man of fads. I have
found that great men sometimes make

road Matters Personals and

When the officials Of the mechanical
departments of eastern roads decide
to inaugurate in their railroad shops
an improved compressed air equipment
they visit the place where the wonder
ful usefulness of compressed air was
first demonstrated. This place is the
Santa Fe shops in this city.
Mr.. j. o. Pattee. superintendent Of
the mechanical department of the
Great Northern railway, came to To
pelza this week for the purpose Of
making an inspection of the use Of
compressed air in railroad work at the
Santa Fe shops in this city, prior to
the introduction of a similar system in
the shops OF that road. All the shops
OF the Great Northern are to be equip
ped with compressed air. the largest
plants to be placed in the principal
7hops at St. Paul and Brainard.
Mr. Pattee was shown through the
shops by Superintendent of Machinery

ALMOST IN The FALL.
Leland Means to Put OFF the
States Convention
Until Very Late in the Coming
Summer
lit May Not Be Held Until the Middle
Of August Waiting for Some
thing to Turn Up.

Cy Leland was in the city yesterday
afternoon and he did three things He
let out the fact that there viii prob
ably be late state convention; he de-
MED the statement that he had any
thing to do with the Sixth district con-
vention and he totally ignored Far
merH Smith save to make a few con-
temptuous remarks.
The Journal reporter asked him If he
had decided to call the meeting of the
state central committee this month to
name the date and place Of the state
convention. as he had intimated the
would some time ago. In reply Mr..
Leland said.
There is no probability Of the com
mittee meeting until after the ST. Louis
national convention lit viii not be
held this month and probably not until
the latter part of June.
This viii make late convention
then. VIII it nOt2' asked the reporter
Yes This viii bring the state con-
vention not before the latter part of
j ulys and i'm all probability not earlier
than the middle DC August"
why have you decided to have such
late committee meeting2'
Because I find there are so many
people going to st. Louis and so many
are interested in the convention to the
extent that they care nothing for state
affairs at the present time. It would
committeeunen together before the ma
tional convention
Mr. Leland was asked about his part
IN the late Sixth district convention
lie said.
'I took no part ia the convention ex-
cepr to look on shake hands with the
delegates and visitors and watch
Were you not interested politically

It would appear that Boss Leland ifs
very soHcitious for the people who
want to so to ST. Louis and does not

convention is over The fact is the

but had not read it over. Being told
its contents, he said.
There is not a word of truth in it,
for / am just where Fl have been ever
since this matter came UP. That is, I
am candidate for denomination. and
shall be until the convention meets. If
the convention sees fit to defeat me for
a denomination, all right, but until then
I am in this race.
III shall make the contest, if there is
to be a contest, upon the record of my
administration, and as have said all
along, think deserve a denomination
Then it is customary for a renOmina-
ton to come to q governor as we'll as
to other state officials, and this is one
reason why shall remain in the field. 3"
Then there is no truth in the state
meut that you have made up your mind
TO step out2'
Not a particle, and further still, I
have no intention OF making up my
mind to any such thing
Railway Commissioner Jim Simpson,
who is at the head of the movement to
reuOminate Governor Morrill,, said to
the reporter that the thought of the
governor Withdrawing would be folly
now. as he said AOrillS chances were
better today than at any time since
the Leland ulumatum.
Speaking of the LeavenWorth Times
story. Commissioner Simpson said
There is not a shadow of fact or
truth in the story Governor Morrill, is
receiving more announcement today
than he has received within the past
month. or since Leland came to him
with his ultimatum- The truth is. there
is no opposition to the governor that is
at all serious. save from the bosses and
some politicians and disgruntIed Office
seekers.
There is absolutely but one thing
that can defeat Governor Morrill, for
denomination. and that is death. Per
haps the editor of the Leavenworth
Times is q spiritualistic medium or
something of that kind; perhaps he
holds communion with the other world
and is able to see that death may call
the governor before the convention
meets I see nothing Of that kind
however. and that is why I say the
governor viii be renominated."
