The very important issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This, like all other important cues tions has two sides. on each of which are found honest and intelligent per sons.
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in its pages. allowing to each side at least a half column daily for signed articles. for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published.

THE APPALLING LOSSES OF OUR

Anyone familiar with the following facts, will surely find it hard to re- fuse to support the effort for pro- hibition which is now being made in our state I cull the figures from the Herald and Presbytery of Gin cinnati under date of April Is. In some measure I use the words of the article to which l refer:
 We think that a great deal of gold and silve. is being mined, and so there is; but the fact is, that all the gold mined in our nations best year for mining, would not pay F days of the drink bill of the nation.
 Silver is an important item in the commerce of our country, and yet all the silver mined in our whole country in the year 1910, would not pay this nations drink bill for j days.
 We are told upon good authority by those who have made a careful
 estimate, that 90 days drink bill of

 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space. name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.

TRACHOMA IN PORTO RICO

Traehoma is widely prevalent among school children of Porto Rico according to a report published by the United States Public Health Ser vice. Out of 4,202 pupils examined in the public schools in twelve dis tricts of that island, 4O1, or 9.15 per cent, had positive cases of trachona, and 231 others or an additional 5.4 per cent represented suspicio ous cases.
 Trachoma is a chronic granular dis ease of the eyeIids which not infre,- quently brings about serious eonse- quences such as impaired eyesight or total loss of vision. It is classed ass a dangerous contagious disease'' by

the U. s. Public Health Seryices and aliens afflicted with it are not per mitted to land in the United States. It's exact cause has not been definite 1y determined as yet. In the investi-s gation in Porto Rico but few cases Of damaged vision were found, and thedr scarcity is accounted for by the slow progress of the disease
 Apparently trachoma has existed in Porto Riclo for many years having been. introduced at different times. through various channels. Spanish immi grants and soldiers and Syrian peddlers have been blamed, but pre- else information is lacking on this point. However it has perhaps spread more rapidly since the Ameri- can occupation due to several causes, one of the most important of which has been the enormous expansion of the school system from an enrolment of about 25. .000 in 1899 to 182,760 in 1913-4,@ thus bringing into intimate association many children who other wise would scarcely. have seen each other.
 In Porto Rico the disease is not limited to the poorer children but was found among all classes of the popp- lation. Pupils of the rural schools presented a much higher percentage than those of town schools. Officers of the Public Health Service in sew era1 trachor Investigations in the United States have found that tra- choma is rare among negroes Com trary to these results, there is a fair ly high prevalence among negroes in Porto Rico, although less than among white children. The more close re- lationslip of negroes with whites in Porto Rico may partially explain the difference. As mulattoes give prac- fical1y the same percentage as whites, the suggestion is made that the mix ture of white blood destroys or re- duces the partial natural immunity of the negro.
 Since the discharge from the eyes of the persons sufferings from tra- chorna is infectious. certain simple precautions are urged to prevent the spread of the disease. Each member of the family should have it's own towel, and where running water is not availab ble wash basins should be used. The practice of exchanging pencils, states and sponges among and in communities where trachoma. exists it is advisable to have separate school rooms for those afflicted. Trachomatous persons should have separate beds and bed clothing.
 The treatment of the sick should be conscientiously carried out for thel double purpose of relieving the suf- ferers and reducing sources of infec- ton. A campai gn against the disease based on these lines has been begun by the Sanitary Department of the Porto Rico government.

Technical Discussion of the Electro
Chemical Treatment OF Cancer
BY DR.. James H. Morgan.

prevail and thereby cover up their
errors.
Question number one: How does
A-ray act on tissues OF the human
body? Here is a question that 1 have
never seen answered, according to my
observations. After sixteen years
use Of X-ray in treating cancer. I
shall describe the ray and its effects
upon different growths. X-ray. as we
see it, appears as lemon-colored
light. caused by passing a high-fre-
quency electric current through u
vacuum tub, having highly-refrac-
tory platinum electrodes to retard it's
flow; and, at the same time, creating
this ray differing from the spectrum
but with a galvanometer IL proves TO be
the luminous, induced current escap-
ing from the circuit of the highly
charged tube Particularly when the
object is between the earth and the
insulated tube does the penetrating
activity seem greater. The energy
from the tube is radiant That is, it
comes off by fiouroscopic test or By
sensitive plate exposure, proportional
to the distance the object is placed be-
tween the nearest points of the earth
and the tube Again, II is plainly
demonstrated that the induced rays Of
high-frequency tube are converted
into heat according to the nature Of
the conductor. Here is how X-ray
burns the flesh. The human body is
very poor conductor of electricity
except its vascular system, ana any
part of the human body placed near
the X-ray tube becomes unconsciously
heated, finally to the point of destruc-
tion, as follows: The first sensation
is cool draught striking the exposed
part. That is caused by the air sur
rounding the parts being dialectric.
It is set in motion by the induced cur
rent In a short time the exposed
part becomes red, similar to sunburn.
After several treatments it takes on a
deep tan color. Soon the exposed
parts break down and destruction OF
tissues occurs. If the growth be on
the face, the parts rapidly dry up If
the breast be treated, the gland finally
drops out and a condition of repair
sets in. or recurrent conditions arise.
Briefly. will state that the effect Of
radium is identical with X-ray upon
the human body and, according to the
statements of a London surgeon, is
/ likewise electrical. That radium de-
fleets the needle of a galvanometer
was proven by locating a valuable
tube in the discarded dressing in a
leading London hospital, where it had
( been lost.
/ Now the final question presents it.
| self: Can we, by electrolysis, change
the abnormal elementary conditions
of tissue?
! frmy believe that the day will
come when the elementary conditions
of the human body will be kept nor
NAL through electro-chemical meth
DDS. think that the treatment of ma
/ lignancy in tissues of the human body
requires but a little more scientific
research on the line of electro-chem-
istry to obtain specific results for this
destructive disease In closing, per-
NIT me to say that I hope to see our
national government take up the ques-
ton Of establishing a National Bureau
OF Medical Research for the purpose
of making the practice Of medicine a

Editorial Opinion
UNEMPLOYED AND UNEMpLoYABLE


From the Wall Street Journal.
A Socialist daily newspaper in New
York devoted some Of its space to the
denunciation of the Wall Street Jour
nal for saying that large part of the
army Of the unemployed consisted OF
volunteers. 1t is mistaken in calling this
cynieism. It is an unfortunate truth
which every student of sociology knows.
The problem of the idle worker, in fact,
is not so much the unemployed as the
unemployable.
Out Of the many thousands Of idle
men in New York only mere handful
consented to shovel snow. and the news
paper reports stated that on Monday
even these men quit and declined TO
work in the storm. What would the
thousands of telegraph and telephone
liuemen, working day and night to re-.
store communications, snatehing brief
intervals OF sleep from their arduous
labor, say to thisy The men who quit
and the men who refused such employ
ment were the volunteers in the army
OF the unemployed.
No one who has had the handling of
men can have failed to notice how great
ly the individual failure has only him
self to blame. Eliminating the great
cause Of intemperance. there are other
reasons lust rs vital Lack of the power
of concentration. want of application,
inability TO foresee the ultimate market

class which lies down under the first re-
verse
It is a class which has notably failed
to secure the sympathy of the steady
workman. To use an expressive colo
quialism, the red-blooded American de-
spises a quitter. IL IS this class which
holds up church congregations for doles.
II is this class which is willing for any
work except at a rate of wages it knows
TO be impossible. This is the soil in
which the seeds of anarchy are sown. II

of rights while they ignore duties II is

must keep them in comfort while they

Normal condition." as a medical
term, signifies perfect physical
state. An abnormal condition indi-
Gates an imperfect state. Normal
conditions indicate health. Abnormal
conditions indicate disease. The
human body is composed of various
tissues They have different forms
and composition The elementary
components Of each vary according
to the organism 1t represents. In
normal tissue formation there is al
ways the same per cent of elemen-
tary compOnents. In abnormal con-
ditions. there is always a plus or
minus quantity of these elements.
lt stands TO reason that some force
holds these elements together, and
that some condition disintegrates
them. Again. while some condition
produces active normal cell con-
structiveness, other conditions pro-
duce active cell destructiveness.
Evidently the human body is COM
posed of cells containing elements
like carbon, phosphorus. iron. cal
cium, oxygen, nitrogen and hydro
gen. and, I'm normal tissue formation,
con lins a stated quantity Of atoms Of
these elements. Admitting that these
elements are held together by some
force, surely it is plain what that
force must be. For arguments sake.
let us call it animal electricity Let
us recall that the elements of the
human body have each an electrical
polarity. positive or negative. Let
US remind ourselves of the phenOm-
ena of how these elements. by chemi-
cal laws, have the positive attract
the negative, with the result of the
increase OF the decrease of quantities.
For instance. the art of electro-plat-
ing is an example.
With this positive knowledge, can
we not assume that human tissue
changes are electrO-chemical? While
this is an old belief, reviewing it
may make il appear clearer What
I desire to show is that in all abnor-
NAL growths we have a muluplica-
ton OF abnormal tissues-tissue diff
ferlng from the normal composition
in that It contains quantities of ele-
ments destructive in their nature.
Pathologists only show us the physi-
cal forms of cancer, with the giant
cell and other varied formations. In
other words. bone. muscle. fascia,
brain. nerve and muscous membranes
all produce malignant growths Of diff
fering structural formations. This,
however, is as far as pathology has
advanced in the study of cancer.
The knife can eradicate most
humorous growths, but recurreni
conditions produce greater malig-
nancy. Evidently the continuous alb
normal destructive tissue formation
has some other source than the par
ent tumor. This is proven in the re-
moval of glandular OF carcicomatous
conditions, since in sarcomatous
conditions the whole body is can
cerous and recurrence is expected
The question arises: Are We treat
ing cancer in the proper way? Should
it not be electro-chemical, instead OF
surgical or medical? Just now X-ray
and radium stand out as the hopeful
methods I hope to be able to show
that these two methods are electro
lytic. What | may say regarding
their action upon malignant growths
is based entirely upon my own OBJ
servation, subject perhaps TO profess
sional bombardment; because many
physicians prefer that mystery shall

THE PURE FOOD LAW AND
THE PUBLIC WELFARE
From the Independent.

From the Independent.
The Supreme Court has for the second
time rendered a decision seriously weak
ening the Pure Food and Drug Act. The
first decision. handed down two years
ago. declared that the prohibition of
false and misleading statements on drug
labels did not apply to false and mislead
ing claims of curative power. The loop
hole in the law made by this decision
was promptly closed by Congress
through the passage of the Shirley act.
1t is greatly to be hoped that the new
loophole Just made by the court win be
promptly obliterated by Congress.
The present decision is in the "bleach-
ed -four" case. II declares that manu-
facturers may use deleterious substances
in their food products unless the govern
ment can prove that they are present in
the completed product in sufficient guam
titv to be dangerous to health. The de.
cision of the court of last resort makes
this Interpretation good law. II cannot
and does not make it good public policy
The purpose of the Pure Food Act is
TO protect the public. It makes the
Federal Government the guardian of the
public health. The public health. a vi
tally important part Of the public wei
fare Is more important than the private
interests Of any manufacturer.
BY throwing the burden of proof upon
the government. the Supreme Court sets
the pyramid mon its apex. II sets pri.
vate interests above the public welfare.
CONGRESS has a clear dutv before it. IT
should so amend the law that the pres.
enee of dele'erious substance in a food
product establishes prima fscie case Of
violation Of the law. 1t should be omen

deleferious substance is not present in
sufficient amount to be harmful n
