Society will never resolve the re-
lief from government it should till a
general 'moving-up" can be i'm
pressed upon the lawmakers as a
wholesome policy. With the lnitia-
tive & Referendum coming in many
of the cosntrv it will act as further
prod along with the insistent public
sentiment that will not have its
voice stifled nor be denied IN it's de-
msnds just as the sane and reason
able propogaudists like the prohi-
bitionists have learned to take what
they can get and immediately began
a campaign for a further Tightening
up of the screws of the legislative
mill. Congressman and Legislators
and supervisors, and aldermen need
to have their ears ring with the
needs of a constituency which sees
its condition and demands curatives
measures all along within real hear
ing of the hounds.

PATENT MEDICINES.

By j, o Order, Associate Prof, of Physiology
and Histology.
There has recently been reported
in Canada an epidemic of diphtheria
thought to have been fostered by a
certain patent medicine advertised
to cure the disease. This calls to
mind very forclbly the necessity of
the public's being informed along
the lines of patent medicines. There
are many frauds offered 10 the form
of cure ais and Specifics" for
certain diseases.
Patent Medicines may be divided
into 3 classes: Harmless; 2 Those
that are harmless in themselves but
lare harmful in that they mislead the
sick and cause them to put off the
proper treatment until 1t is too late;
3 Harmful.
1t is doubtful whether there is
really q harmless patent medicine
Of course, In case where person
needs no medicine at all, medicine
made up OF some drug that mas no
action might be harmless. The same
preparation may do harm in another
case by misleading the person into
thinking he is going to be cured of
some dangerous disease. You will
see how patent medicine may fall
into either of the first two groups of
our classification. Many persons
with diseases durable at first, waste
valuable time in following the advice
of some patent medicine fraud, and
later wake up to the fact that now
they are incurable. What could be
sadder than this? Think of the
many cases in which some poor per-

A clipping taken from one OF the
farm papers and carried in this is-
sue under the heading Laws Must

directs thought to a condition SO
prevalent all oyer this country and
about which this editor has often
spoke. Our national congress and
state legislatures county and town
boards make laws and hit upon poll
cies which are unquestionabiy pro-
gressive and constructive. The
trouble of il is that so much of this
to use our own expression trails
somewhat behind the real present
pertinent needs" Our ANALYSIS of
this condition is thai the pressure OF
public sentiment implnges upon such
bodies 50 that they have to do some
thing to appease the popular clamor
and the vast corporate interests

aipulators manage to frighten off in

SOCIAL JUSTICE.

Let us consider3 the criminal.
We are foolish in 'Our treatment
of him. A man of CRIMINAL stock

up before jury Sympathy
for him is aroused, and in some
countries his chances Of getting
off are very good. | am not go
ing to make the criminal re-
sponsible Sor what he does. OF
course he is innocent. But that
does not alter the fact that he
must be dealt with sternly in or
der that society and the genera
tons of the future may be pro-
tected. Sympathy with the Grim
inal is an injustice to society.
The pursuit of happiness for our
own sakes as well, as for others
is a mean sort of thing. This
is the beefsteak idea of happi-
ness. More laudable than this
is self denial practiced to insure
the future progress of our race.

Laws that were adequate many
years ago may be woefally out OF
date today. The laws we pass this
wear may not suffice for people OF
the next generation. People pro-
gress and as society enlarges and
business becomes more complex
more and different laws are required
to protect the people. TIE state
ment said to have been made by
Thomas Jefferson that THE govern
ment is best that governs least" is
out of date, if it were ever true.
Civilization is more complex today
than in the early history of this
country when population was so
sparse and lack of law and order so
apparent that men felt they could
do as they pleased. 1t isn't the
number of laws that protects sooie-
ty, res trains violence and exalts
citizenship, but the laws that meet
the requirements of present civiliza-
ton. We must have as many laws
as are needed and no more. When
ever the life of one man seashes and
ac ts upon the life of another there is
need of law to regulate relations
and to secure just conduct, one
toward another.

UNIVERSITY LETTER.
THE CHEMIST AND THE MUNICIPALITY.

BY A. l.. Barker, Assistant Prof. OF Chemistry
Some one has said "A careful
study of municipal affairs shows
that the greatest material need of
our American cities is the chemist"
Few people realize the truth of this
statement. The result is that the
establishment of laboratories is
charges of competent chemists has
not gone very far except in the lar
ger cities. The added expense,
usually considered unnecessary. is the
chief objection offered by the mu-
nicipal authoritles, who might other
wise pat a plan of this kind into sf-
feet. This raises the important
question of civic responsibility. 1t
can be easily shown that city labora-
tories are not expensive, when we
consider the sociological, humanitar-
ian, and economic factors involved.
Below are few OF the ways in which
the chemist can serve the CON-
munlty.
First, there is the question of pure
water supply. In the selection and
pupication OF drinking water the
supervision OF the chemist is con-
sideGed as most important. Even
the comparatively small cities are be-
ginning to realize this necessity,
since typhoid ever, the most com
mon of all water BOZ ne diseases, has
become SO prevalent in many places
The city chemist also looks alter food
inspection and analysis, and ascer-
tains whether or not the food may
be considered pure, or free from a
dulteration. 1t is especially signifi-
cant that the most commonly used
articles of food, such as milk and
other dairy products, are she first to
be under municipal control another
duty of the chemist is 30 see that the
drugs are not aduterated, either IN
tentionally or accident tally. This is
an important function and one which
cannot be overlooked in the day of
patent medicines and nostrums,
many of which are dangerous TO the
health and lives of people. Direct
ing the disposal of garbage, sewage
and other wastes is an important
duty of the chemist. The disposal
problem is one of the most serious
with which the authorities in the
larger cities have to deal Within
comparatively recent years success
full methods of disposal have been
worked out and are now beng used
in many cities. The smoke nuisance
is one which is attracting the atten-
ton Of municipal authorities, as we'll
as that of many Investigators. Ex-
cessive smoke is not very annoying,
but setrimentsd to health and des-
bructibls to vegetation, clothing.
household articles, etc. This unnec-
ss.srv smoke, which formerly went
to waste, Is now being utilized, and
the economic gain is considerable.
These are a few of the ways m
which the chemist may be OF inesti-
mable benefit to the city. Enough
has been said to show that the func-
ton of the chemist in civic life is no
mean one. Together with other men
of science, he is steadily striving to
make the community better and
more healthy place in which to
live.

The Press Meeting AS TeId by Another

Southern (Ripley) Sentinel.
The fifty-firsb annual meeting OF
the Mississippi Press Association
was held 10 Clarksdale last week, be-
ginning Tuesday morning and end
ing Thursday night. The meeting
was an interesting and most enjoya-
BILE one. The attendance was the
best we have had for several years
and the entertainment given by the
good people of Clarksdal could not
have been surpassed. Never before
in the history of the association was
the greeting more cordial, the vel
come more sincere or the entertain
ment. more lavish. Nothing was
left undone that might contribute to
the pleasure of the editors while
there.
The meeting was presided over
by James Faux, president, and he
make good one, presiding with
dignity, fairness and splendid ability.
The busiest man in the association
was Alfred Bean, our faithful seere-
tary, WHO was constantly on the
job. The meeting was held in the
E.k's Home. a beautiful building,
located just one block from the AL
cazor hotel where we had headquar-
,ers. Tuesday night, Col. r. H.
Henry delivered his popular lecture
on the Ford Peace Trip across the
water and it was most interesting
and instructive account of that
great tour Wednesday we went on
trip to Friar's Point where we
took the boat and went to Helena,
Ark, after spending an hour in that
splendid city, where were driven in
autos oyer the principal streets, we
sailed back to Friar's Point and were
then carried to Noon Lake where we
were the guests OF the Club at
splendid fish fry and dance. Return
ing to Clarksdale late in the night.
Thursday morning we went to Parch-
man, the great state farm, where the
colored convictS are confined and
and where the state has the largest
cotton farm in the world. We were
guests at one of the finest picnic
dinners ever spread before mortal
man. After spending several hours
on the farm, inspecting the property
and seeing how the state cares for
it's conYicts, we returned to Clarks-
dale. There late in the evening we
separated and wendell our way
homeward, carrying with us many
pleasant memories of the splendid
meeting and the more than splendid
people of Clarksdale. We expect TO
publish next week more de-
tailed statement of the trim.

OCALA OCCURRENCES

The Seminole motor bus, running
between 0cala and Silver Springs,
has adopted the following schedule:
On Sundays and Thursdays, it will
leave the square for the springs at
a. m. and leave the springs returning
at 11:30. In the afternoon it will
leave the square every hour from one
to five, leaving the springs on its re-
turn as soon as full. On weekdays
except Thursday, it will leave the
square at 8 and leave the springs re-
turning at 1870 in the morning. In
the afternoon, it will leave the square
at 2 and o'clock, leaving the springs
on its return at $3.50 and $50. The
jitney with its powerful new engine
has become a very much better agent
of transportation, and is proving a
great convenience.
