hgion as Coed as Another" By the
principle of contra diction a fundament-

error but never with truth. He made
a splendid plea for the religious faith

Prohibition Helps
the Colored Brother

MoUNDsv1LLE, W. Va, Dec. IA
The population of the State penitenti.
airy here, insofar as the negro race is
concerned, at least, is dwindling as a
result of state prohibition, according
to Warden NJ. z. White.
"lf there is one thing that has helped
the colored people in West >frginia
more than putting the state dry, I
would like to know what It is" said
the warden.
The number of colored persons in the
pen has dropped from SO to 25.per cent.
as the result of prohibition, and the
number is constantly dwindling.
There has been big decrease in the
number Of prisoners from Fayette and
Mcdowell counties, where crime exist.
ed to a greater degree than in any two
counties Of the state and from where
most OF the negro prisoners came. Dur.
ing the past year but seven prisoners
came from Mcdowell County. Before
prohibition from 20 to rs prisoners
We're sent up from the county every
term Of court.

Whooplna Couch.

The Bureau of Laboratories of the
New York board of health has been
conducting an extensive investigation
OF whOoping cough, and DR.. Paul Lut-
finger recently reported to the Medi-
cal association of the greater city Of
New York some of the results of that
inquiry.
Among the most interesting con-
illusions reached is that the early part
of the disease is the most infectious.
The bacillus that is believed to cause
it is rarely found in the sputum after
the first week of the paroxysmal, or
whooping, stage, so there would seem
to be no necessity for the child to be
kept in the house for more than a
week after the whoop appears"
Doctor Luttinger says physicians I'M
derestimate the seriousness of the dis
ease and fail to report cases. Only
26 per cent of cases In a certain area
we're reported, and probably not more
than 10 per cent are reported in
Greater New York"

GO FORWARD OR GO BACK
Man or Firm Who Would Re-
main at StandstiIl.

Success is a disease, if the reason
ing of those who give the identical
definition for poverty is to be fol-
lowed. An excellent preventive is
idleness or inertia; another is salts
faction. Find the man who is salts
fed and you need look no further for
human putty.
Content breeds Indias and Chinas.
Discomfort sends Mayfowers across
oceans-not the sullen discomfort
that does nothing, but the discomfort
that manifests itself in striving to
better conditions, the discomfort that
means hard work and plenty Of it.
Some firms are so contented with
the volume of business they have
that they do nothing to increase it.
But the disconnected competitor is
doing something, as the first firm
generally finds out before going into
bankruptcy. You go ahead or you
go back in this world. You cannot
stand still. Satisfaction too often
means just that-doing nothing.

A revolver is a nickel.plated sub

Bob Brown who has for 20 years

the Louisville Times, is to quit
journalism and engage in other bus
mess. He easily ranks at the head
of the working newspaper fraternity
of the state and his name has been
identified with the Times so long
that it is hard to realize that he is
to give up his life.work. He could,
of course, command fine positions
anywhere. but Bob evidently wants
to die rich and finds that journalism
is not the field for his efforts in that
direction.
