Wilson and the Cost of Living

sert that no substantial relief can be
secured for the people until import
duties on the necessaries of life are
materially reduced and these criminal
conspiracies broken up
For three years and six months alb
solute control Of Congress has been in
the hand of the very party that knew
so well the reason for the high cost
of living, l. e., the wickedness Of the
Republican party. But how does Dem
Ocratic performance. relative to liv-
ing cost, square with Democratic
promised Has the cost Of living been
reduced? If you don't know, Mr.
Voter. ask your wife to show you the
store book
True, the Democrats have reduced
the tariff, but has that reduced the
cosS OF living? And what about the
trusts and commercial conspiracies
fostered and encouraged by the Re
publican party?" Can anyone recall
single effort on the part of Wilson
or his rubber stamp" Congress TO
remedy that evil? Or can it be that,
as usual. Democratic theory was again
wrong, and that neither the tariff nor
the alleged commercial conspiracies'
has aught to do with the increased
cost Of foodstuffs?
Maybe Wilson has kept us out OF
war'-who knows? That is a moot
question! But it is a fact. beyond all
argument, that Wilson and his party
have not reduced. but have actually
increased the cost of living And
most of us are more interested in the
three times-a-day problem of eating
than we are ip the very questionable
claim that Wilson has kept us out
of war;

GERM OF PARAL YSlS
IDENTIFIED, BELIEF

New York, Oct. IA peculiar germ
found in small assesses in the tonsils
and adenoids Of victims Of infantile
paralysis has produced an infection
similar to infantile paralysis when in
iected into lower animals, according to
DIR. c. j. Rosenow, of the Mayo foun-
dation at Rochester, Mimi, who ad-
dressed a meeting of the New York
Academy of Medicine.
DIR. Rosenow said that experiments
had been conducted on rabbits, guinea
pige, monkeys, cats and dogs. He de-
clared marked improvement was shown
in cases Of infantile paralysis following
the removal of the tonsils and ade-
noids.
When cultures made from h germs
found in the abscessed tonsils II ade-
noids of patients were injected into
the lower animals, DR.. Rosenow added,
the paralysis developed in from "a
hours to 10 days. The time depended
upon the size Of the injection.
DR.. Rosenow said he did not advo-
cate the removal of tonsils in persons
afflicted with infantile paralysis as a
means to recovery. The number of ex-
periments had been too small to prove
valuable in this particular connection,
he added. But what he considered of
Importance IA the fact hat now. for

called from the scene of his triumphs

prerne command of all the Russian and
Rumanian forces operating in Dobrudja
and on the Danube. He may act as an

BANKHEAD GOOD ROADS BILL
WINS IN SENATE.

Washington, May 8.-When the
Senate today passed the Bank.
head good roads bill. which haG
been substituted for the Shackle.
ford good roads bill, passed some
months ago by the House, the two
word platform, Good Roads,
upon which the senior senator
from Alabama, won his first cleo
ton to the United States Senate,
was vindicated. The Senate pass
ed the bill this afternoon without
the formality of roll call, so over
whelming was the affirmative SEN
timent.
The Bankhead bill would dis
triute the sum of $75,OOO,OOO
among the several states upon a
basis of apportionment according
to population, road mileage and
territorial area, the distribution to
be made within five years from
the date of the enactment of the
law. Each state is tosappropiate a
sum equal to the apportionment
allotted by the federal govern
ment. Under the Bankhead bill
each state is to supervise the
building of its own highways, in
accordance with the recommen-
dations Of its highway commits
sion, and after the roads are con-
structed the state is to pay for
their maintenance. At the end
of five years Congress may ap-
propriate an additional sum for
apportionment among the states,
and SO on until a national system
OF good roads is established by
federal and state corporation.
If the Bankhead bill is made a
law, Tennessee will receive as its
share of the $75,OO0,OOO appor-
tionment within five years, $1,823,-
$50; Mississippi, $1,371,O 900; Arkan-
sas, 1922, $50; Alabama, $685.
600; Kentucky, $1,5O9,OOO; Louis
lana, $1,024,25O.
Senator Bankhead was cordially
congratulated by his colleagues
on the success of his measure.
The senator said the good roads
legislation as it is proposed (and
chances greatly favor its success)
would result Immediately in an
unparalleled forward movement
towards higher and better attain
ments along every line that leads
to more general education, social
Improvement, progress and pros
especially among the great
farming class. !
