is highly desirable that we should
have their good will. On the other
hnnd' while it is natural that they
should not want Papa" they may
need one. Argentina, Brazil and
Chile are not all of Latin America.
There is San Domingo, and, as we
are painfully aware just now. there
is Mexico. If our motives and in
tentions are misconstrued it is not
altogether our fault, and. if it is. the
remedy lies in removing suspicion
and demonstration and not in with
drawing the protection against for
elgn aggression and internal dis
order, which, whether feared Or not
by Latin America, undoubtedly
exists.

The moves OF Oscar Underwood
of Alabama. Congressman and Sen
ator7to-be, arc worth noticing now
succeed in his evident intentions to
block the Presidents trust program,
defeat for the Democratic party in
November is possible. If he fail,
harm will have been done even by
the attempt, though it will not he so
great.
Mr.. Underwood is man OF com
manding influence. of strength OF
character, of ability. His work in
connection with the tariff bill recently
placed on the statute hooks has de-
served and has received applause
from the people OF the nation and
more material reward from the
people of his State His name is
that of great Democrat and "A great
American.
All these things entitle Mr.. I'm
dcrwood to n hearing when he OK
presses an opinion. His services TO
his party entitle him to more than
ordinary consideration when he as
sumes position on any question. how
ever important. But the very fact
of his ability and influence impose
obligations upon him. The very fact
that when he speaks he is heard
when he leads many follow, make it
absolutely imperative that he speak
wisely and that he lead in the right
direction. His position in the party
and in the nation carries with il IA
peril 10 himself, the party and tho
country.
Frankly, The Times-D Dispatch does
not believe Mr.. Underwood is living
up to his obligations. 1t does not
believe he is pursuing the right
course. or has pursued it recently,
and, while granting him sincerity of
Judgment and action, it believes he
is threatening the success OF his
party.
Woodrow Wilson has been and
still is the chief asset OF the Demo-
cratic party. 1t might almost be said
that he is the party. Mr.. Wilson is
insisting upon the enactment of trust
Legislation now and, we believe,
rightly so. Mr.. Underwood seems
inclined to insist upon adjournment
Ii these two leaders separate, tho re-
suit Will be trouble for the Demo-
Gratis in the November election. II
Underwood win in the contest the
result will be postponcment of trust
lnU 1nf ;,,i
to the country and probable Demo
cratic defeat.
In either event the outlook is
gloomy. Only Underwood can dis
pei the gloom, and that by with
drawing opposition TO President Will
son. If he Will not do this. the Dem
ocrats Of the House must choose the
lesser evil and repudiate his leader
ship.

Shon EnrlY; Close EARLY.

The petition circulated by the Re-
tail Merchants Association in favor
of earlier closing for the retail stores
during July and August should he
signed by every retail merchant. In
doubtedly most OF them will sign it,,
and for two months tired clerks will
get some relief from the oppressive
heat
So far, so good; but unless Gus
toners help there will be no early
closing next year at this season. If
the merchants find that the people
will not shop early in the day, and
that they are losing heavily because
of the shorter hours. they will aban-
don the plan. 1t all depends upon
the shoppers.

Dr.. Brady's Health Talks
why viviscction Is Necessary.

| Aside from the exaggerated and hys-
| terical charges frequently made by out
| and-out antivivisectionists, there are
| doubts which sometimes arise i'm the
mind OF the purely disintercsted in
ldividual-thc father of children, let us
| say for example.
Couldn't the lower animals be spared
the pain of experiments? Couldn',
! doctors get along as we'll without sub
jecting living animals to experimental
| operations and drug tests?
| There Are Only Three Courses.
There are three possible courses the
| medical profession might follow. First.
to refuse TO try any new remedy or
operative procedure or diagnotic test
OH man, because IL would he expert
menting." and as such unjustifabl
Second. to test new ideas, suggestions
and methods at once on helpless or
defcnseless human being--thc poor In
public institutions, for instance. or
prisoners in penal institutions Or,
third, to make preliminary tcsts of new
ideas on lower animals. ana IL the re-
suits seem promising. or tho procedure
proves comparatively safe, then apply
the remedy 10 actual cases In practice.
If the first course were followed, all
progress In medicine and surgery would
obviously come To permanent stand
still. We should never advance beyond
our present ability to heal. There
would be no possible hope or cures for
diseases ut present incurable.
IL the second course were follow cd.
the medical profession would indeed
become brutalized and cruel. Despite
the slurs cast upon regular medicine
by those Interested In various fads and
freak cults OF healing. there are
ln!ghty few doctors who would have
the courage to try an unknown remedy
on an unwilling human being. 4 dog
or cat or guincapig a rat is
different from human being, even
In the estimation OF "A vivisector.
The third course, that which med
icine follows at present. Is the only
one logically open to the profession.
II has made medicine what II Is to-
day. II enables us to save lives with
scruins. antitoAins, Vaccines and newly
discovered drugs. If YOU could decide
which course the medicine profession
must pursue I'm future, which would

In other words. Virginia annually
makes a free gift OF millions to other
sections for the commodities and

this self-imposed tribute, we lay a
mortgage on our cotton, tobacco and
other crops.
The economic insanity OF the thing
is obvious. States. like individuals.
