appologized frequently and humbly
for the insult to the home, but the
veterans are not stufflng such insults
In their pockets-their memories are
good and they will be heard from
when they 60 to the polls June 7.
No one will credit Elrod with any
too much sense, but no man eve be-
lieved that he was stupid enough to
publicly encourage drunkenness in a
soldiers home, the one place above all
others where whisky could do so
much damage and where whisky
creates disturbance and fighting.
The first and most stringent rule
In all the state and national homes, is
against drunkenness and carrying
liquor into the home or ven on the
home grounds, because drunkards can
not be tolerated In a soldiers home II
the members are to enjoy any degree
Of comfort and peace, and this rule
holds good In private homes In the a
tion, and yet this would-be governor
publicly encourages drunken debauch-
cry among men, many of them doing
their best to escape from the curse
that has ruined SO many men.
1t Is with sorrow we write this re-
ply to the remarks Of a man who has
been governor Of this state, sorrow to
think any decent man would preach
such a policy of ruin in order to catch
a few votes Of men who prefer whisky
to comfort In the best soldiers home
In the country, and 1t is not surpris-
ing that the stalwarts have pulled
Elrod Off the stump.
The United States government con-
dennis drunkenness In all departments,
state governments do the same, the
corporations will not employ a drunk
ard, drunkards are punished under
the laws In every city and hamlet in
the country, and drunkards are fired
out Of every state and national home
In the nation, but Elrod, who will
never be governor, encourages drunk
eness and violation OF law in his pub
lie speeches and says the state sellers
home is a 1T place for drunkards, and
II they we're too drunk he would send
q Estate team" after them SO that
the home could be made into a hell, a
sordid, cowardly insult to every hon.
orable veteran In the state by a cheap,
stupid demagogue.

killed and are floating on the surface,
and drifting ashore by the wagon
load. There were carp In the lake
that tipped the scales from fifteen to
twenty seven pounds. (Fishy)

of obstructive legislative enact

Because we do not register births
in the United States. it is impos.
sible to compute death rate for
babies in any state or in any city in
the United States in such way al
to be comparable with the infant
death rate of any other civilized
country.
Infant mortality cannot be stated
as adult mortality is in ratio to the
enumerated population. The infant
death rate must be computed in the
ratio to the number of infants born
alive during the year.
America should not men barbar-
ity In its relation to infant life. The
aegis of protected civilization
should rest upon the infant OF
American birth and proper record
be made of the vital events OF his
life for his personal protection,
legal use and for the most import
ant sanitary information which can
alone be obtained from such rec
ords.
