Drugs Natures aid to health,

are always fresh and reliable. Riv-
erside Drug Co.

Every city has law requiring ply
sicians to report all contagious diseases
to the health department. That depart
ment is then empowered to quarantine
such cases and prevent their spread. But
that law will not be enforced. Business
for profit would suffer through the en-
forced absence of some of our most
prominent citizens. Mercantile houses
would be without heads, banks without
presidents and churches without stew
ards and deacons. 1t would "hurt bust
ness" by exposing your wealthy moral
lepers, and that's the ONLY REASON
the law is not enforced.

There have been attempts made in
capitalist quarters to represent the ex-
pulsion of five deputies from the social
list party in Italy as a split in the party
there. AS consequence of lack of con-
fidence in their own ability the Italian
proletariat had placed faith in and elect
ed to office men of the bourgeois classes,
who, through their oratory or their ego
tstical and self confident natures, have
somehow persuaded the proletariat that
they could do more for proletaran in
terests than could the proletariat itself.
Of course that was bad mistake which
has been rectified by a vote for expul-
sion 1896, as against $3.50. Does that
look like a split in the party? Splits
of that character are welcome.
