THERE ARE DEMOCRATS
AND DEMOCRATS
[The Public. |

President Wilson's achieve
ments cannot be fully appreci-
ated without taking into consid-
Grafton what might have been if
he were not President. What
Congress would have done had
it had its own way may be i'm
agined from what it does when
acting upon its own initiative.
In voting adversely on theques-
tion of recommending the special
House committee on suffrage,
the Democratic members of the
Rules Committee demonstrated
not only that they were not dem
ocrats, but that they lacked the
ordinary precience that prompts
one togoin whenit rains. There
is no longer any question as to
whether or not woman should
vote. She is voting The time
is past when a few men, clothed
in a little brief authority, can
sit in judgement on one-half OF
the human race. The suffrage
question has been tried at the
bar of public opinion, andjudge-
ment has been rendered for the
plaintiff. Unfortunately there
happen to be a few men of an
tiquated ideas of power, elected
on other issues-it is in consid-
Grafton for their descendants
that their names are not given
who are able to stay the exc
cution a few days, and so add
their little mite toward convin-
cling a predisposed public that
they and the party to which they
belong are incapable Of keeping
up with the march of progress.
But there will be an election
next fall; and the people can con-
gratulate themselves that the
Congressional term is only two
wears.

or fall into the worthless class.
The claims made for some of them
have been so spurious as to tarn-
ish what should have been a
creditable record. The methods
followed by those who have been
associated with Burbank have
been so questionable that an ap-
preparation of $4,000 a year allow
ed him for plant breeding work
by the Carnegie Foundation was
withdrawn before the end of the
first year.
These are unpleasant facts.
They are sufficient ground for
suspicion Of every Burbank pro-

At 2 O'clock In the Morning 10 the
Time to Test Il,

At 2 o'clock In the Morning 10 the
Time to Test It.
II is at 2 o'clock in the morning that
mans vitality is at its lowest ebb; all
the physical forces are then at their
lowest ebb, and every military man of
experience knows that the ~ o'clock
courage" counts. He knows that If
soldier Is really brave at that hour he
need never fear of his becoming
coward, as he is really remarkable
man.
A well fed man will fight better than
a half starved man, whether he be
civilian or soldier. And this is the
same principle as the so called "2
o'clock bravery" for the half starved
man lacks vitality, Just as the average
man lacks vitality at 2 o'clock in the
morning.
If you are anxious to know just how
brave you are make the test some
morning at .. when you hear burglars
in your house. If you crawl under the
bedclothes you are probably quite
normal man, but if you rise boldly
from your bed. grasp the nearest
weapon and sally forth to meet the
robbers you are indeed brave man
and should be proud of yourself.
Any veteran Of some great war will
tell you that the most difficult test of
courage Is to be aroused from his sleep
by the shrill blast of bugle and long
roll of drums and ordered to charge an
enemy unseen or only dimly seen at 2
O'Clock in the morning. Marching into
battle under the bright sunlight is not
so difficult. and the seasoned veteran
enjoys the thrill. but even the most
hardened veteran feels creepy" and
uneasy turning OFT at , o'clock in the

because of natural physical weak
ness at that hour and has nothing

The Chrysanthemum.

1t is believed that the first specimen
of the chrysanthemum known to have
been grown in England-perhaps in
Europe-was reared at the Botanic
gardens, Chelsea, in 1I64, and the
flowers rise into popular favor in the
nineteenth century was chiefly due TO
the good work done by the Stoke New
ington Chrysanthemum society. This
society held its first exhibition of bios.
SONS in 1916, and served not only as a
model for all similar associations, but
also as a school of chrysanthemum
culture for the whole world.-London

Unpleasant Facts

|
Ruralist will no doubt interest
many Plain Talk readers and save
some of them money:
Editor Ruralist-Your reply to
Mr.. B. D. Smith about the Luther
Burbank Society has been read
with much interest.
1t is about time that Luther
Burbank should be advertised to
the public generally as a rank
faker-the class in which he
properly belongs. He has sue
ceeded in misleading many good
men and the public generally for
many years until many people be-
lieve he stands in the class with
Thomas Edison, George Westing-
house and Henry Ford. Indeed,
it is said he really succeeded in
getting on the pay roll of our
multi-miilionaires at $4,000 per
year to carry on his experiments
in plant propagation.
What has become of it? Abso-
llutely nothing of value. From all
his works the only things he has
claimed were successful that |
have heard of have been his
spineless cactus, his pitless plum
and the wonderberry. Do you
know of anyone who is fattening
stock on spineless cactus or who
is raising pitless plums? Any one
can raise his much-lauded Won
derberry, but would enjoy eating
raw pumpkins with the COWS as
well. The wonder is how any
one could have carried on all the
volumne of plant propagation that
| he is credited with and not have
stumbled on to something of
value.
Now he is trying to work mis-
guided public by selling them
worthless seeds at a long price
and to part with their dollars
through his Luther Burbank
Society.
The fact is that the whole out
fit will be denied the use of the
United States mails if they are
carefully looked up by the postal
authorities.
Orlando, Fla. c. H. w.
Reply-The apparently inten-
tional Misrepresentation OF the
sharpers masquerading under the
name Of the Luther Burbank
Society" seem to demand further
consideration. Old readers of the
Ruralist will hardly be caught by
any changes played upon the
name Burbank. Unfortunately its
use justifies immediate suspicion
relative to any proposition with
which it is associated.
| We are not yet willing to be-
lieve that Burbank himself is
either swindler or charlatan. He
is commercial plant breeder
whose productions have become
a fruitful and profitable field for
the exploitation of the profession
al promoter. He has doubtless
been visionary or over-enthusias-
tic-a trait common to most in
ventors. Unfortunately for his
own reputation and the welfare
of the public, his business as
sociates have juggled with his
name as he is supposed to have
juggled with nature. Rang de-
ception, if not actual legal fraud
has been the result.

list published-with COMMENT

In their minds. Physicians, like
lother people are often misjudged
Ind for this reason we present
you a few facts for your consider
alton:
l.. When in need of physi-
clan call the nearest one. This
Mould be done Gas a rule) not
only in emergencies, but in ordi-
nary sickness.
2. Do not call the second phys
stefan on a case until you have
spoken to the first one about it.
AS a rule the first one will know
as much about the case as a doz-
en- other doctors would know.
8. Take the first physicians
advice. He's as apt to be right as
the second. No physician is anx-
ious to sign a death certificate.
For this reason he will suggest
consultation when necessary.
4. Bear in mind that all kinds
of labor and produce are higher
h now than they were few years
/ ago. Hence it costs physician
\ more to live-his drugs, instru-
! ments, vehicles, feed, etc, costs
\ more than it used to; therefore
when the physician tells you that
his charge is so much, pay it, and
do not tell him what it used to be.
! Everything is SO much higher
that our charges must be higher
to enable us to live, not allowing
for about fifty percent of our
labor that we get nothing for.
5. Physicians charges vary,
according to whether the case is
infectious, contagious or ordinary.
sickness.
6. The distance to a patient
and condition of the weather and
roads, are considered in physi-
clans charge.
7. Any reasonable perso
knows that it is worth more to
make a night visit than day
visit. Therefore night visits cost
from 81 to So more than day
trips in the country.
8. It requires from four to six
years of hard work in medical
college, at an expense of two to
three thousand dollars before a
physician is allowed to charge for
his services. Therefore do not
compare wages for ordinary un-
skilled labor with fees for medi-
cal or surgical service. There is
srgreat responsibility on physician
when life is at stake. When a
family calls a doctor, the family
shifts the responsibility on to the
doctor.
The physicians have a county
and state medical association, and
in turn the American Medical As
ISOLATION, and we would like here
to give the purpose of our medi-
cal societies. 1t is not to raise
prices on the public or in anyway
is it detrimental to them. The
purpose Of the medical society is
to bring together the doctors of
the county and state, with a view
to the extension of medical knowl-
edge, and to the advancement OF
medical science, SO that the pro-
fession shall become more capa-
BILE and honorable within itself
and more useful to the public in
