RESIDENT WILSON'S peeviSh
j denunciation of the business
mems protest against further
nagging by Congress has brought
down upon him the criticism of most
of the independent newspapers and
influential leaders of the country.
Many of the strong newspapers of the
Democratic press have likewise sug-
gested that he went beyond decent
bounds in criticising those who had a
right to object to his program in Con-
gress.
Calling a halt upon attacks on busi-
ness and the prosperity of the nation
Is neither unpatriotic nor unreason-
able. 1t is the right of the people
under our form of government to pc
tition Congress at any time and Presi-
dent Wilson cannot arrogate to him
self the powers of dictator or an all
wise ruler. He is human like the rest
of us and must expect criticism of his
errors, especially as in this way only
can the people bring him to a realiza-
tlon or what he is doing.
Manufactured sentiment would have
no permanent influence upon the
President or Congress, but there can
be no argument as to the Importance
of listening to and needing the ap-
peals of those who are in position to
understand better than the admins
tration politicians what is involved in
a continuance of the hectoring of
business through ill-digested and un-
wise legislation.
What the United States needs most
is a rest from the bombardment of
theoretical legislation and restrictive
rulings tending to discourage business
activity and expansion. There ought
to be some limit to the legislative and
administrative program to the end
that confidence may be restored and
prosperity invited.
Manifestly the President has been
hearing from the more level-headed
men who get his ear as to the un-
wisdom of his course in charging
conspiracy" against the important in
terests of the country which have ap-
pealed to Washington for a respite
from the constant assaults upon busi-
ness of every class-big and little.
Surely business men have the same
right to appeal to Congress with petit
tions and letters and kilograms as
those thick and thin supporters of the
Administration who are advised by
Secretary Bryan in his newspaper to
deluge Congress with kilograms urging
support of the Presidents policies.
Apparently, however, it makes all
the difference in the world whose OK is
gored in the attitude of the Washing
ton Administration. Every little
whipper-snapper newspaper support
ing the Washington Administration
takes the position that the President
can do no wrong, just as accidental
leaders like Palmer and Mccormick
in Pennsylvania insist that their spon-
scr In the White House shall have the
acclaim of the multitude when his
thumbs are up or down.

Several Bills Being Con-

HOmebuiIderS
By Edward Heating,
Congressman.at.Large from Colorado.


Washington, March 24.-Lana
legislation Of vital import to the
West is now being considered by
the House Committee on Public
Lands. Congressman William
Kent of California and Con-
gresham Haivsy Ferguson Of
New Mexico are the leaders of
the opposing forces. The COM
mittee seems to be pretty even
ly divided, with the odds favor
ing FERGUSON and all Influential
element seeking a compromise
which will satisfy both sides,
Kent favors a leasing system
while Ferguson champions the
enlarged homestead idea.
''Get the lands out of the
hands of the government and
into the possession of actual
settlers just as soon as possible, :"
says FERGUSON, and he presents
as the most important step in
that direction a bill providing
for a 640-acre grazing home
stead.
Kent denies that he is seeking
to discourage the settler but
pleads for the leasing of the
public domain pending the ar
rival of the home-buildelr
Back of Kent are Pinchot and
his followers and many public
men who are not as extreme as
the ex-forester in their views Oh
conservation. Ferguson com
maltded the support of those
who have been insisting that
the West should be given an
opportunity to become a land OF
independent home-owners, and
not the abiding place for more
or less migratory lesse-holders
Compromise Suggested.
These who seek a compromise
have presented many unusual
propositions and some of them
are worthy of very serious con.
sideration. One of these plans
calls for the classification of the
public domain, outside of the
forest reserves. In lass A

As substitute forlthe above,
tie following las been suggest
ed: Classify the lands as pro-
vided III the first proposition
and then chang the land laws
so settler could take up either
one section Of class A land or
two sectors of class b land or
four sections of class G. land.
Personally, | believe the lat
ter proposition comes nearer
meeting Western conditions
than any other plan SO far sub
mitted. 1t should put every
desirable acre of grazing and
agricultural land in the public
domain in the hands of settlers
within ten years and would add
tremendously to the taxable
wealth and industrial prosper
ity of the Trans Missouri coun-
try. Unfortunately, it is diff
cut, 10 make Eastern n d
Southern members of Congress

On the other hand, l b,li, we
they could be induced to accept
the first of the compromise pro-
posals and that is a vast i'm
provement over the Kent bill.
The West Divided.
The West is a house divided
against itself OH the conserva-
ton problem, and so long as
we cannot unite on a definate
land policy we must be pre- par
ed to endure existing ills OF
agree to compromises which in
volve some surrender of princi-
pie by both sides to the discuss
ion. / have always held that l
was willing to do whatever was
necessary to protect the public
domoin from greed of t h e
monopolist, but that l wanted
to see state and nation extend a
helping hand to the man who
was seeking in good faith to es-
tablish a genuine Homestead. "
The very great majority of the
men who make up the presen:
administration take the same
position, bpt when we attempt
to agree upon a plan to attain
our desires we develop marked
differences of opinion,
/ am not discouraged by this
however, and l am convinced
that the people Of the West viii
make a serious mistake if they
do not press for some solution q
this land problem during the
present administrations 1t il
not probable that we will evel
receive a more sympathetic
hearing, and while we may no
get all we want we will get 81
much more than any other ad
ministration was ever willing Il
grant US that we will be justifi
ed in regarding the adjustment
as a great victory.

Alcohol and the Human Body

(Earle William Gage in Health
Culture)
Alcohol has been labeled a poison by
the worlds eminent men; poison that
in whatsoever form 1t may be, which,
when applied to a living surface, dis
concerts and disturbs lifes healthy
movements. 1t is distinct from sub
stances which are in their nature nu-
tritious, not capable of being convert
ed into food or becoming a part of
the living frame.
Animal life occasions constant
waste, and new matter must be taken,
which, after digestion, is carried into
the blood, and then charged; but with
poison, il is a different matter. a sub
stance incapable to perform such
functions. Alcohol may be mixed
with certain nutritious substances,
but if it passes into the blood, which
it must do, it is thrown off as soon
as the system is capable of accom-
plishing its deliverance.
Alcohol, when taken in its pure state,
which is rare with the modern meth
cd of sale, and in sufficient quantity,
acts as a poison and will produce in
slant death, as has been proven many
times by actual cases. Possibly the
patient will live for several hours,
but the intense suffering would cause
one to say that death would be a
great blessing. When taken In small
er quantities for any length of time
it tends to shorten life and produce
diseases which terminate in death.
Properly mixed with other ehemi-
calls alcohol NAV be consumed in
quantities sufficient to cause death
without producing it's effects imme
diately. Therefore, we find it difficult
to name a more destructive poison
than ardent spirits.
Many people think that alcohol is
evil spirited If We were able to see
the white livers, the dropsies, and
shattered nervous systems which are
the direct cause of the use of alcohol
we would at once become aware that
alcohol and poison are synonymous
terms
To whatever part of the human
body alcohol may be applied it is sure
to cause contraction and condensation
of tissue, and gives rise to pain, heat
redness, and symptoms of infamma
ton. All writer's on materia medica
rank alcohol among the most power
full and fatal of vegetable poisons.
Is alcohol a food? To preserve the
body in health; to keep it in repair,
and to generate heat and force, it is
necessary that it should be supplied
with air, water, and food. These are
necessities of life, to abstain from
which would be utterly impossible. Is
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1914-06-11

alcohol then necessary to active and
healthy life? Food is understood to
mean those elements, which, when
taken into the stomach, nourish the
body. repair its waste, sustain its
forces, and retain the needed heat.
Food, therefore, must possess the pow
ers of tissue building and heat-support.
The body is formed and sustained
by the food and drink which we con-
sumo How necessary then that these
should be of wholesome nature. When
a person consumes bread it is never
seen again as bread but within two
or three hours goes to form blood
cells, and plasnaa, to repair waste,
and to furnish warmth.
Should we take one ounce of alco-
hol, 1t is thrust out again as an in
truder by every living organ of the
body. Can alcohol build up or repair
tissue, when it contains not a single
particle of nutrition in its compost
ton? Alcohol fails in this.
Plastic foods feed the blood-cells;
alcohol destroys them. Food eXcites
in health to normal action; alcohol
tends always to feverishness, inflam-
nation, and abnormal action, food
nourishes the body alcohol excites
reaction and waste, also represses vi
tai action and nutrition.
Alcohol is foreign to the human body
and its normal needs-never supplies
power as does food. nor aids clrcula-
ton as water, nor purities like air, nor
eliminates as exercise-an agent, the
sole effects of which are to arrest
blood deyelODment retain waste mat
ter, irritate mucous and other tissue,
thicken normal juices, impede diges-
ton, lower animal heat, deaden nerves.
kill molecular life and activity, and
to waste, through the excitement it
creates in the heart and head, the con-
trolling forces of the nervous system
and brain power.
Food is that substance which being
innocent in relation to the tissues of
the body, is a digestible or absorbable
substance, that may be oxydized in
the body. and decomposed in such
manner as to give to the body the
forces which it contains. Whatever
aids to maintain the body in perfect
order of construction, may well be
considered as a food. There are two
kinds of food-nitrogenou and struc-
ture building, and hydrocarbons, or
heat and force producing; alcohol has
no nitrogen, and therefore is not
structure building food nor is it cap
able of being transformed into any
such foods. The physical welfare of
the whole mass of mortals is at its
lowest ebb when alcoholic influences
are at their highest.

Portland Bath Federal Aid Road.

Oath Times)
Governor Haines put the case for
the Portland Bath federal aid road
excellently in his address at Portland
Saturday. The political attempt to
arouse opposition to the construction
of this road on the ground that Cum
berland county Is receiving an undue
share of the States road money is an
appeal to narrow provincialism
which we should be loath to believe
can be in this State an important fac
tor in determining such questions. A
thoroughfare like this proposed post
road is a benefit to everybody who
does business in the State and every
body who travels through it, no less
to the people of Calais and Houlton
than to those of Portland and Bath.
Moreover. the only way to get any i'm
mediate substantial benefit from the
large expenditures being made for
roads in this State, is by the con-
struction of long stretches of contin-
uous trunk lines. The requirement
that the road money must be divided
equitably among the counties is not
only ambiguous, because 1t has not
been defined what constitutes an equit-
able division, but it is also dictated
by considerations of political expedi-
ency rather than those OF sound policy.
1t is not only more costly to build
small sections of good roads in many
different localities, but the small iso-
lated lengths of good roads are of
much less value to the State as a
whole or the travelling public than an
equal mileage of continuous improved
highways properly located.
