A WORD TO PHYSICIANS.
Alcohol as a Medical Problem onouio
 Be Studied.

Dr. Thorold Williams. a London phy- sician of wide experience in deaIiHS with alcoholism and the physical eVil9 which are associated with it, has re gently issued a statement in which ne recommends that physicians every where devote themselves 10 the study of the alcohol question and claims that it is subject of paramount lmpor- tance to the whole medical jrotessloh. Il.
 Physicians, he states, do not yet know alcohol. It is only one dfug among thousands, and unless they de- vote themselves specially to 1t they can never expect to be conyelsant with the extraordinary effects this drug has upon various constitutions. Besides, many of them are themselves in the habit of using it in moderate quantl- ties and they make out the best ease they can for it. Alcohol, if only the general public knew it. is not stimu- lant. It is a narcotic, with some CT the properties of stimulant. Thus 1t comes about that in the early stages of drink the subject is elated, happy. talkative-in a word, stimulated into unnatural viyacity. The same thing happens with chloroform, which is the true counterpart of alcohol as a drug. Following this stage is one Of depres- sion. when the subject takes d gloomy view of life, and is disinelined for con- versation.
 T have devoted the last 16 years of my life to the study of alcohol and al eoholism 1 was brought face to face with the problem in curious way. When young man spent many years in London and was familiar, as are most townsmen, with the sight of drunkenness. l do not think it made any special impression on me beyond the usual aversion Subsequently went away into Wales, and lived there ten years among the country people, where there was no drink and no drunkenness. When l came back to London to live was struck by the appalling raVages of alcohol, which SO many people suppose to be a food. and which is nothing of the sort, 1 picked up at a secondhand book stall one day little book entitled Total Abstinence. - read that book through from cover to cover many times that day. and began then and there to make a special study Of alcohol as a drug. and have continued 1t to the present day.

MAN THE NATION REQUIRES.
John A. johnson the Ideal Occupant
Of the Presidential Chair.

AS president, Gov. johnson would
have the qualities that might described
as logically and historically needful
at this time, representing both In
thought and by concrete achievement
all Of the progressive reforms to which
the American people are now thorough
ly committed. His personality and
his methods are such that, coming into
office after the strenuous and even
terrifying political and financial ex-
periences of recent years, he would be
prepared to hold all that has Been
gained, restore an era of good feeling
and smoothly and comfortably prepare
the way for such additional advanced
Legislation as the times require. In a
word, Gov. Johnson Is precisely the
kind OF leader the nation requires at
this time, ready for new legislation to
meet new needs, but careful and con-
servative in his methods. The same
confidence-inspiring, yote-getting at
tributes that have made Gov. John
son so popular in Minnesota that there
Is absolutely no question that he
could carry the state as the Demo
cratic presidential nominee will make
him equally popular with the voters
of the nation. once they have an op-
portunity to become acquainted With
the man.
Every political campaign has it's in.
dividual conditions. 1t is found in this
contest. that Gov. Johnson possesses
a strength peculiar to him alone and
by which he is certain to bring &c tie
