Topics Of the Time 5

General conclusion of the papers and
politicians is that Harding will hold
all the wringing wet democratic vote
that assisted to nominate him and that
Meredith will draw very largely from
the dry republicans. The status on the
liquor question of the opposing candi-
dates seems to be conceded. Nhich
indicates much lievlier campaign in
Iowt than usual and accentuates the
democratic opportunity.
Everybody is wondering how the
convention at st. Louis will explain the
Baltimore platform. For the democra-
tic convention this year is closer to
Baltimore than the democratic record
is to the Baltimore platform. BY the
way in what essential has the demo-
cratic party conformed to the platform
it promulgated with such eclat fous
years ago? -
The New York Tribune ran Roose-
welt and Hughes excerpts parallel UNI
der the caption Choose One" And the
convention did.
INDICATIONS are that the celebrated
cocktail made of buttermilk with
white radish instead Of red cherry
will be fashionable in Washington next
year.
Whatever the Harding people may
say in criticism of the DeS Monies
Register they will have to admit that
it is some little biographer.
The republican convention and
Roosevelt seem to be agreed that Will
son is to be sent back TO New Jersey

A WINNING NOMINATION.

Nomination of Hughes by the re-
publicans and Roosevett's deClination
TO captain the progreSsives puts the
republican party in the path of vic
tory in the fall election. 1t is evident
that Hughes was the choice Of the con-
vention and, when favorite sons were
eliminated the second choice of the
states with candidates of their own.
While there were others whose nomi-
nation seemed more desirable to
sections and states and interests,
Hughes combined better than any
other the strength of the convention
and Of the voters behind the conven-
ton delegates. The nomination will
be accepted as the most satisfactory
that could be made and will have a
united party behind it.
Roosevelt practically disbanded the
progressive party when he declined to
captain it. His assertion that he is
out OF politics leads TO the conclusion
that he did so deliberately and upon
thought: for he must know that his
detection alienated his followers from
him for all time. AS a candidate and
leader of a party Mr.. Roosevelt is
thru.
So are his followers who cheered
for him thru an anxious week in
loyalty that deserved better treatment.
They are also thru cheering. Roose-
Welt will be behind Hughes candidacy.
So will most of those who otherwise
would have been for Roosevelt to the
last gasp.
The issue is between Hughes and
Wilson. Hughes should win, as the
racing men say, hands down. Com
parison is in his favor. There is moth

opposition to his present candidacy. He
is sound on tariff. He will draw to

Shoes Of pure leather which could be
put on in May and worn until death.

One reason why leather Is scarce
is because the mich COW is allowed
to live longer than she used to- This
causes one to ask why some Luther
Burbank does not produce a dog that
will grow leather instead Of hydropho-
bia and fleas. There are thousands OF
dogs that apparently nave no mission
in life and could be spared as easily
as the male gossip and yet man strug-
giles to perfect the seedless cucumber
instead OF grating the canine family
onto a horsehide trunk. Sometimes it
seems as if American inventive genius
is running into the ground.

The farmers were afraid Of Cosson

that safety was to be found in voting
for Harding. The contention Of his
opponents that Harding is wet" had
the effect Of driving all "wets" to his
support. 1t need not be contended

favor Harding for governor because
they consider him wet, while many re-

will be obliterated in the election Of

Drops Effort to Force Senate to Con-

The controversy over the appointment
Of a postmaster at Devils Lake, N. D.,
was settled yesterday when the Presi-
dent sent the name of H. S. Davies TO
the Senate. At one time Senator Gron-
ma, Of North Dakota, threatened a Con-
gressional investigation of the Postof-
ice Departments methods. House mem
bers talked OF bringing impea achment
charges against Postmaster General Bur
Lesson on the grounds of abuse Of au-
thority as a result of his recommends
tions in the Devils Lake case.
The fight started at the beginning of
the administration, when the Postmas-
ter General tried to get J. H. Bloom
confirmed postmaster. Charges were
preferred against Bloom. He was re-
jected and his wife was appointed. The
Senate twice refused to confirm her ap-

BIG GROWTH IN FIGHT
AGAINST WHITE PLAGUE
Crusade Against tuberculosis Started
by Edward L. Trudeau in 1884
at Saranac Lake.

When DR.. Edward Livingston Trudeau
himself a sufferer from tuberculosis,
sought health in the Adirondack Noun
tains, In 1884. there were available in this
country practically no provisions for the
treatment and control OF tuberculosis
The establishment of the Adirondack
Cottage Sanatorium at Saranac Lake in
first institution devoted to the fresh-air
treatment OF tuberculosis and stimulated
the movement for sanatoriums. hospitals
and dispensaries devoted wholly to this
disease.
|, Now. after thirty years. there are ap-
lproximately 575 sanatoriums and hospitals
with a capacity of 5000 beds, 40 tuber-
culosis dispensaries. more than 1000 ply
sicians and over 1000 nurses devoted
wholly to the treatmePt and study Of
tuberculosis. More than 400 open-sir
schools attest the practicaHty and success
! of Trudeau's idea. AL are expressions of
the influence of the Adirondack Cottage
Sanatorium.
In connection with the sanatorium
should be mentioned the work of the
laboratory established by Trudeau at
Saransc Lake. During the last two de-
caoes monumental and important con-
tributions to the study of tuberculosis.
particularly the field of immunity, have
emanated from this laboratory. Under
the guidance OF DIR. Trudeau, a number
of men have studied at Saranac Lake,
whose names today are of international
Importance in their relation to the study
and control of this most dread disease.
There is something stimulating in the
very idea of the fresh-air treatment OF
tuberculosis. There is something of the
hero In the work of Trudeau. who, him
self sufferer from a wasting and fatal
disease, devoted lifetime to the allevia-
ton of the distress of fellow sufferers
from tuberculosis. Certainly, says the
Journal of the American Medical Asso-
citation, his name should endure as one
who devoted himself. without hope of per-
sonal or pecuniary gain, to the proving
of principle of lasting benefit to man.
