Effect of Beer Drinking on German
 Children.

Some doubly significant observa- tions as to the practical effects of beer and wine in dulling the facul- ties were made by Bayer. who in vestigated the habits of 5S1 children in public school in Vienna. These pupils were ranked by their teachers into three groups, denoting progress as good" flair" or poor" respec- lively Bayer found on investigation. that 134 of these pupils took no all cSholic drink; that 164 drank alco- hOlics very seldom; but that 219 drank beer or wine once daily; q drank it twice daily, and three drank it with every meal. Of the total ab- stainers, 42 per cent ranked in the school as good" 49 per cent as fair" and per cent as poor" Of the occasional drinkers, 34 per cent ranked as good" 57 per cent as fair" and 9 per cent as poor" Of the daily drinkers, 2S per cent ranked as good 5S per cent as fair and II per cent as poor" Those who drank twice daily ranked 25 per cent good" 5S per cent fair" and IS per cent poor" Of the three who drank thrice daily, one ranked as fair and the other two as poor" Statistics of this sort are rather tiresome; but these will repay a moments examina- tion. As Aschaffenburg, from whom I quote them. remarks, detailed com ment is superfluous; the figures speak for themselves.-Dr. Henry Smith Williams in McClure's Nigga zine for october.

In regard to the nomination for

the Gallatin MOI Democrat referring
to that splendid Democrat, W. r.

ia this part Of Missouri editorially
says: "In the contest for the Dem
ocratic nomination for lieutenant

OF Carrollton, seems far In head. A
fact not alone due to the aggressive
campaign he is waging, but largely
the result OF his strong personality and
the conviction that comes from a IAN
vass OF the situation that inevitably
leads TO the conclusion that painter
is the best man for the place" Mr..
Painter, better known to all personal
acquaintance as plain ''Bill" Painter,
is a splendid type of the 'true Mis-
sourian''-bears all the 1marks, and is
proud Of 'em. He is brilliant and cap
able, without being foppish; clever

OFFICERS BELIEVE PLAN NAY
SOLVE RACE PROBLEM.
Finds Germ which VIII Make Az
rican's Skin Like That Of eau
Casian, but is Puzzled over
Color or Descendants.

Washington, July lied D.. Copp
probation officer OF the Juvenile
Court believes he has discovered 4
solution Of the race problem, such as
nos even scientists who have gone In
TO the matter deeply have thus far
been able TO work out.
His theory is that q certain disease
which afilcts negroes, turning their
skin white, is caused by . bacillus, and
he believes that by isolating the germ
and inoculating the colored man with
the serum he may be enabled TO turn
the entire race white.
Mr.. Copp, In the discharge OF his
duty says he has observed three cases
In which the skin Of negroes Is turn
ing white. He has been keeping track
Of these cases. He describes bis tho
DRY In the following statement:
I'm one Of the cases under obserya-
tion the skin Of the patient not only
on the face, but on the body as well,
is gradually turning white. The skin
remains healthy during the peculiar
disorder. In one Of the other cases
the face only is affected. Still anoth-
er case will need more investigation
before / can speak intelligently on 1t.
81 think there is q strong possibility
that the disease may be caused by q
germ, and l propose to endeavor to
have this germ isolated. II we can
prove that the whitening Of negroes
skins In rare cases is caused BY q bac-
illus, it would be possible to cultivate
that bacillus and ~inoculate the negro
race with it.
"Of course, this opens up another
train Of thought. Surprising 1t were
possible to inoculate a negro with the
germ, and supposing his skin did turn
white, would bis children be black or
white?
"This is a phase OF thequestion that
would have to be given careful con-
slderation, for the remedy l would
suggest would be futile II it did not
result in q permanent whitening Of
the skins Of the negro race.
"What / am doing may come to.
naught, but / find a satisfaction In
this investigation, because / feel there
is a strong responsibility that some
thing permanent and good may re-
suit from It,"
"How could 1t be applied" was
asked. "Would you favor the passage
q law requiring the forcible inocu-
lation Of all negroes with the GERM"
Mr.. Copp was not prepared to say
whether this would be the best method
or not.

Folk arose and started for the plat

ed q rousing ovation. 1t was the first
outburst Of the day, aside from that
which greeted the first mention OF
Mr.. Kern by Thomas r. Marshall,
nominee for Governor Of Indiana, who
placed Mr.. Kern in nomination. Folks
appearance was greeted with cries
who's all right" and answering
shouts "Folki" Ollie James, who
had taken the chair by Judge Clay
toms request, introduced MI. Folk as
"Missouri's distinguished Governor"
The cheering broke out again, this
time among the delegates. Iowa,
Kansas, Massachusetts,, Ohio, New
Hampshire, California and Nebraska
delegates rose, waved hats and shout
cd approval OF Mr.. Folk. The Mis-
souri, delegation remained In their
seats.
BAN OF MYSTERIOUS STRANGER"
Governor Folk began: sin 1904 a
mysterious stranger entered Mis-
souri,. In 1906 we ran him out. Yes
terday you gave US a man for Presi-
dent and with him as our candidate
and with the platform you adopted
here the mysterious stranger will
never be seen in Missouri any more"
Governor Folk compared the Repub-
lican and Democratic platforms. The
former, he said, stood for monopoly
and the latter for popular rights.
LET ius unite" he continued, sin
enforcing the Law and counteracting
any attempts to turn backward; let
uS protect the Accommodations Of hon
est industry, and let US not hesitate
to tear down the means by which
tainted riches grow. Let us seek as
a remedy for existing evil not less
Democracy, but more Democracy, let
US seek not more money, but more
manhood; not more cunning, but
more conscience.

pleasure Of second the nomination OF
John W. Kern, of Indiana
Florida's action in yielding to Coy
ernor Folk was not anticipated by
the Missouri delegation as a whole.
So that when Missouri was reached in

Reed, as chairman OF the Missouri

plicating Missouri's second OF the
