Dry Argument Gone.

Now comes the psychopathic lab
oratory of the Chicago Municipal
Court, speaking through Chief
Justice Harry Olson to the mayors
OF New York stare at Troy, n. Y,
and explodes the favorite dry"
argument that drinking alcoholic
liquors excessively causes insan-
ity. On the contrary, the labora-
tory sharks claim, a man has to be
crazy before he will drink to ex-
cess. The laboratory has exam
ined hundreds Of chronic alcohol
ics," Judge Olson said, and we
have yet to find the first case where
there was not at least a psyche
pathic constitution, epilepsy, de-
mentia praecox, manic Oppressive
insanity, or feeble mindedness as
the basis, with the exception of a
few cases where there was a phys
ical basis, such as diabetes or tu-
berculosis, and the man was whip
ping up his tagging energy with
alcoholic stimulants. . Judge Oh
son claims the laboratory's inves-
legations prove that the cause of
excessive drinking will have to be
removed before we can cure the
drunkards. He said the state of
Illinois spends ISL per cent of its
total expenditures for charitable in
stltutions, of which the mental,
nervous and insane group make up
2I.8 per cent.

There is an inconsistency border
ing on hypocrisy in the demand Tor
the purchase of articles "Made-in-
America u when we also advocate
throwing down the bars which have
kept out of our markets goods
made IN Germany, or made in Eng
land, or made in Italy. 1t is very
plain and simple proposition which
has been recognized by the MAORI
ty OF the people of the United
States IN every election except two
since Abraham Lincoln stated the
facts in his plain and simple Ian
guage when he said that if we buy
an article from a European pro-
Queer, we get the article, and the
resident of Europe gets the money,
while if we buy from an American
producer, we get the article and
also keep the money.

people complain of hard times.
The times are hard, for many have
invested In automobiles who could
not afford such a luxury and then,
the running and repair expenses
runs up into hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars annually and then
after a car has been operated few
months, it cannot be sold for half
of the original cost. One of the
most deplorable features of the au-
tomobile is the fact that they are
sending many a small business to
ruination. Many business men are
investing IN autos men whose
business demands their undivided
attention. Many are now neglect
ing their business and these are
the very ones who first cry hard
times.

His Ear to the Ground.

1t is hard for us to put ourselves
in the tight place of Germany and
Austria, shut in on every side ex-
cept by the undersea route, but If
our situation was the same as theirs
we believe Woodrow Wilson would
acquiesce in sinking contraband
carrying ships of the enemy, with
an occasional well meant mistake
if it looked like a good game to
make the other fellow quit and let
in a few choice provisions.
The allies are not overlooking
any scheme to get one on the Ger
mans, but England certainly over
shot the mark when she used Am
erican tourists as shields far car
goes of ammunition. The one tor
pedo fired at the Lusitania would
not have sunk her but the dod-
blasted collection of 5,4oo cases of
ammunition and other explosive
truck just naturally let go and put
all the bulkheads to the bad, and
she went down in fifteen minutes.
A few British warships in the
neighborhood would have helped a
lot of good swimmers 10 make a
landing but they were conspicu-
ously absent-a fact that finally
broke up the ministry and caused
Winston Churchill, who had charge
of the idle boats, to be officially
canned.
Germany will refuse to scuttle
her untersebotes" and it will then
be up to Woodrow to call the kai-
ser for a long and strong CONVEX
sation. It's a poor politician who
can't look at least two moves ahead
and to plunge the United States in
to war will give Wilson another
term, for Abe Lincoln said the
middle of stream is no place to
swap horses.
However, game with only two
moves is one that all the people
can see through and now is the
time to express an opinion. Wilson

Organized labor under the inhu-
ence and direction of its political
leaders has taken the field against
four Of the big administration bills,
especially the bill to create a CEN
trail board of education, claiming
that 1T is In the interest of the uni
versity and normal schools and un-
favorable to the common schools.
1t is singular how such a conclu-
sion can be reached, when those
who favor large appropriations for
the university and normal schools
hold to the reverse. The opposi-
ton would have been arrayed
against the administration had an
effort been made in the opposite
direction. 1t is all for political eff
feet and will not accomplish the
end sought. Any sane person knows
or ought to know that in Governor
Emanuel L. Philip, the common
schools have no better friend.

Short Snap Shots.

A new thirty-hve page list of
government publications on wealth
er may now be had on application.
Who in thunder wants them? We
all know the kind of weather we
have had in the past and the pre-
dlctIons of the weather guys are
not reliable as a general thing.
Only guesses sometimes right, hut
more often wrong. The govern
ment should get the old farmer
with his goose bone to make the
predictions and thus save thous-
ands of dollars annually which to
a great extent is now wasted in
paying high salaries to mighty poor
guessers.

According to the views of few
democratic editors and possibly a
few republican editors all legisla-
tom must be along party lines,
right or wrong, and the taxpayers
can go to the devil. The member
OF either the assembly or senate
who has opinions of his own, is
honest and trying to do what is
fair and just, is to feel the party
lash. A man is elected to office to
work for the best interests of all
the people, and if be fails to do so,
is a craven and coward and unwor-
thy of confidence or respect. There
are quite number of members of
the legislature, both democrats and
republicans, who are striving to do
their duty fearlesly and honestly.

the following as National Greed
by which the men, women and chill
dren of America may affirm their
Americanism:
| believe in the United States,

as the champion of humanity-as
the friend of the weak and distress

al traditions; in peace with honor;
in friendship with all nations that
respect our rights; in entangling
alliances with none; in reasonable
preparations for national defense
by sea and land; in Sinking no
sacrifice needed to hand down to
the future the priceless treasures
bequeathed to us by the past; in
the necessity of keeping the west
ern hemisphere free from the in
trusions of European institutions
and ambitions; in the capacity oil
free men for self government; in
the love of home and country; and
in the unfinching resolution that

Guard Your Children
Against Bowel Trouble

Many children at an early age
become constlpated, and frequently
serious consequences result. Not
being able to realize his own con-
dition, a child's bowels should be
constantly watched, and a gentle
laxative given when necessary.
DR.. Miles Laxative Tablets are
especially we'll adapted to women
and children. The Sisters of
Christian Charity, 53I Charles ST.,
Luzerne, Pa, who attend many
cases of sickness say Of them:
Some time ago we began using DR..
Miles Laxative Tablets and find that
we like them very much. Their action
is excellent and we are grateful for
having been made acquainted with
them. We have had good results in
every case and the Sisters are very
much pleased"

who is to take it. The taste and

though the taste is partially dis
guised. In using Dr. Miles Lax
alive Tablets, however, this diff
Guilty is overcome. The shape of
the tablets, their appearance and

any child, with the result that they
are taken without objection.

Miles Laxative Tablets the ideal

Good advice to England is to
stop belly-aching over the German
submarine atrocities, especially in
view of the fact that the British
have submarines in the German
ports on the North sea which pre-
vents all importation of food sup
plies at the German ports. 1t is
childish, and evidences the fact
that Johnny Bull is getting hurt
and wants sympathy.

Ayrrs ..5a0.nA0 souls. and The popu-
lation increases. With the natural
growth and the innowing tide Of i'm
migrants from Europe. the need

been visiting the immigrants on ar
rival, distributing gospels among
them and seeking to help them, IL he
would GO out into the street, speak
10 the first twenty men he met and
see what they knew Of the Bible. He
did So. and the result is most in
structive. These twenty men repre-
scented six different nationalities -
Spanish. Italian. Servian, Uruguayan,
Portuguese. and Rumanian. The Ur-
uguayan said he had read portions
81 the Bible. One Spaniard knew
something about the Bible, but he
had never read il. A Portuguese said
he had read the Bible. An Italian
had read the Bible and seemed To
have faith in the ord Jesus An
other Spaniard said he had studied
at Jesuit college in Spain, but he
had never had a Bible in his hands

HOW TO PROTECT CHICKENS
FROM HAWKS

In the current issue Of Farm and
Preside, the national farm paper
publisher al Springfield, Ohio. b. r.
w. Thorpe writes an interesting ar
ticle entitled, SAFELY First With
This Years Chicks,r He gives
many suggestions OF great value 10
the small poultryman. On the sub
iect OF protecting chickens from air
marauders he says in part:
an some sections the hawk pro-
blem Is one OF the hardest. A poul-
try yard with the top covered with
wire netting is sure protection. I
have used such yard. and IL kept
out cats as well as hawks. But IL was
expensive 10 make and Is not prac-
teal for large operations. Shot
guns and scarecrows are practical.
One OF the best scarecrows is dead
hawk hung on a pole near the chick
en- run.
III you can't kill a hawk, make
an artificial one out OF cloth. Bright
tin cans hung where they will
fash in the sun and also strike each
other when the wind blows are ef-
fective. A life-like dummy holding
a gun is good too, especially II you
shoot at the hawks occasionly your
self Steel traps set on high piles
so the chickens will not get caught
are also good"

told Snowfall. and | have watched

Did you catch a mouse at LAST" they
asked.

Kit, and you lost your dinner for
nothing

lose IL for nothing; he learned a les
