JUG TRADE IN DANGER

A severe tussle is going on before
the judiciary committee of the lower
house of congress over the original
package decision that the liquor trade
has turned to good account in dry
counties. The Hepburn-DoHiver bill
Is In the hands of that committee,
and by recent vote of eight to seven
~ was denied a favorable report
through motion to adjourn. What
the outcome will be is still uncertain.
The issue is holly contested, and it is
one of the most important matters
no wpending before congress.
The Responsibilities bill has been
prepared to make the liquors in in
terstate commerce. in original pack
ages, subject to the laws of states
into which they may have been ship
ped. 1t is blow aimed straight at
the jug trade and the dividends of
express companies, but thus far the
blow has not been delivered. 1t is
still blow in embryo, and If the
house committee of judiciary contin-
ues to adjourn OPPORTUNITY, it will
never reach the incubation stage.
1t will be remembered that a case
arising in Kansas and another that
was originated in South Carolina were
carried through the courts, and the
result was that goods in original
packages crossing the state line must
be delivered, and that the authorities

A wonderful man is President
Roosevelt. He Is no creature OF par
ty. He makes his own policy, and
then, when the senate Republicans
turn against him, he plays sufficient
of the minority against them to win
his point. That Brownsville investi.
cation was a paipable effort to hui
initiate the president. The president
did nothing but furnish the senators
the facts, and plenty of rope. When
Senator Foraker had successfully
wound the rope around his own
neck, Senator Blackburn deftly
kicked the props from under him.
Won't the senate cabal ever get
enough of laying traps for the presi-
dent?

Congressman Ollie James for the bill

scribes it as follows:

another controversy with Ollie James,
of Kentucky, who was engineering a
bill allowing the Daughters of the
American Revolution to erect a
drinking fountain on grounds owned
by the government near a public
building at Paducah, ky.
"What use have they for a drink

Mann, the iIrepressible.

CHICAGo's PLIGHT

IL. is not until we are confronted
with a crisis that we appreciate our
lack of preparation A board of health
receives little consideration save
when an epidemic makes us feel our
weakness. 1t is then, too that an in
competent health department is rec
ognized. Chicago has an epidemic of
scarlet fever, which has broken all
plague records and this is what the
Chicago Record Herald has to say on
the subject: ,r
tine resolution passed unanimous
~ by the city council, ordering Com
missioner Whalen to throw overheard
a lot of cheerful and charitable "as-
sumptions" as to voluntary observ-
ance of quarantine regulations by
the thousands of physicians in the
city, and to wake up, take notice of
neglect and danger and go to work
with a due sense of personal respon-
sibility, will be warmly commended
by all who are familiar with the
sleepy, indolent ways of our health
department and with the practice in
better governed municipalities.
"There is no room for difference
of opinion as to the necessity and
propriety of demanding the placard-
ing of all premises housing persons
suffering fIom contagious disease.
There should be no ifs and butts, no
discretion in the matter. The physi-
sian must often be trusted, for the
city hasn't a force of inspectors suf-
flcient to watch and report all in
feeted premises; but a plain, blunt
order which means business and
the imposition of a really deterrent
penalty for violation of the order
would in all but rare cases enforce
obedience to the salutary regulation.
"Tne health department is open to
criticism for another line of omis-
sions and failures. While Commits
sioner Bartzen has been inspecting
local milk lepots and reporting upon
their general state, as we'll as upon
the health of the persons who handle
the milk, the department mas been
indulging in contemptuous sneers at
his 'unscientiflc' and 'ofieious' ac-
tivity and contenting itself with SUI
periicial measures.
"The notice to mill1men directing
them to enter no home in which con-
tagious disease prevails is a belated
step in the right direction. It should
arrest the further spread of the cpl
denies and prevent each infected
house from becoming new center
of contagion. But who has heard OF
a determined effort on the part of
the department officials to trace the
diseases to their source? Have they
properly analyzed the milk supplied
to the stricken sections Of the city?
Are inspectors sent to the dairies
and farms at a distance to lnvesti-
gate the conditions of the places and
the health of the workers?
"There is scientific evidence of
epidemics of scarlatina
and diphtheria. Il IS recognized by
medical authorities tnat milk is a

1t is not every would-be humorist
that is brought to a full realization
of his defective sense of humor, in
the manner the United States senate
adopted for the Christening Senator

copied in private life. The meanest
man in the world is the fellow whose

No comment is intended, but it is
always well to keep facts well in or
der before us. The city spent some
100000 putting the city lighting
plant in shape to carry a load of 200
lights. Then the board of public
works asks for $12,5OO to run the
plant this year. The Paducah Light
and Power company offered to furn-
ish 200 street lamps for 1920 or
SCI the lamp. The board of public
works demanded $500 more for run
ming the plant after a small fortune
had been spent ON it than a private
concern would charge.

Marriage is universal in Egypt There
are no old maids; widows remain

rule. no young man Is considered fitted
