SEE PELLAGRA PERIL
IN HIGH COST OF FOOD
United States Public Health Serv-
ice Fears Effect of Un-
balanced Diets.

Washington.-Fear that high food
prices by unbalancing diets may lead
to a wider prevalence of pellagra in
the United States during the year is
expressed in a bulletin issued by the
public health service.
''As a result of government research
es," says the bulletin, 1T was found
that pellagra is produced by an insult
ficient, poorly balanced diet The ap-
plication of this knowledge greatly re
duced pellagra during 1916 as com
pared with previous years. It is feared,
however, that pellagra may increase in
1917 by reason of an increase in food
cost out Of proportion to the prosperity
now enjoyed by this country. The
high cost Of living has served to bring
about a reduction in the amount of
milk. meat, eggs, beans and peas con-
sumed, all of which are pellagra pro
phylactics. In effectinS economies the
general public should bear in mind the
Importance of a properly balanced diet .
Almost $9,O0O,OO0,000 was the aggre-
gate value of all crops Of the country
last year The exact value was set at
$S,934, 5S7 900, an increase Of s., 1G5.
1000 over the value of the 1915 crops
and $780,, 100000 over the average Of
the years 1910 to 1914.

STRONG AND CAPABLE
LEADERSHIP

With the thought Of a successor t.
President Wilson in mind, The Mil
waukee Journal says:
The Democratic party is in power
its chief opponent is divided, but the
times are not easy for medocrity. De-
mocracy will stay in power only through
strong, capable leadership and upstand-
ing principle. Between elections many
names will be interesting to talk about
When the time comes to choose d man,
it will be different
The journal is right The right man
for the next Democratic candidate for
president has not yet appeared in public
The state and congressional elections of
1915 may bring him out, as the elections
of 1910 brought out Woodrow Wilson
There are plenty of mere six footers
in craftsmanship but it takes strong,
level headed giant to be chief executive
OF this great nation.

ATTORNEY.

Upon the recommendation Of Senator
Husting, the President has nominated
Albert G. Wolfe of Lacrosse, to succeed
his brother, the late William f. Wolfe,
AS federal attorney for the western dis
trict of Wisconsin. A Washington cor
respondent of The Milwaukee Journal,
quotes Senator Husting as saying:
4 am sure that all the Democrats Of
the state will acknowledge the splendid
and conspicuous service to the party
and the people of the state by William
f. Wolfe. Sad to say, he did not live
long enough for the party to show its
appreciation, becanse of his unceasing
activities and his ungrudging sacrifice
Of his time and money, he departed from
this world with little of this world S
goods. In the sacrifices thus made his
law firm and family shared, of course,
and thus his sacrifices were as we'll
the sacrifices of his brother, Albert
Since Mr. Wolfe's death have receiv-
ed letters and kilograms from all parts
of the state and they Indicate that the
rank and file of the Democrats OF the
state feel that the appointment of Albert
Wolfe is fitting tribute to his brother S
memory.
OF course, even so, this appointment
would be improper if inconsistent with
the good of the service, but happily
Albert Wolfe is lawyer of ability, well
qualified and quite capable of fulfilling
the duties of his Office. He is one of the
leaders of the Lacrosse county bar.

WOMAN NAMED AS CLERK
TO SENATE COMMITTEE
Miss Simpson VIII Handle Treaties
With Foreign Governments.

Washington.-Miss Jessie L. Simpson
became the first woman to hold the po-
sition of clerk to a senate committee
when Senator Stone appointed her to
that post for the senate committee on
foreign relations, to succeed W. r. Hol-
lister, who resigned several weeks ago
to become assistant secretary of the
Democratic national committee. Miss
Simpson becomes at the same time Sen
ator Stones secretary. She was for
merly assistant clerk.
Miss Simpsons new position is in
senate clerkships as she will be in in
innate touch with the work of the COM
mittee, which has more confidential
and secret matters intrusted to it's care
than any other. In her hands will be
treaties with foreign governments
pending before the senate and much
other information Of delicate nature.
Miss Simpson was born in Illinois,
but has lived in St. Louis most of her
life. Senator Stone brought her to
Washington after she had shown I'm
usual executive capacity in the Champ
Clark headquarters in the preconven-
ton presidential contest in 1912. She
will be the second highest paid woman
in the government service, as her sal
airy Of $4,000 a year is exceeded only
by that of Miss Julia Lathrop. chief of
the children's bureau of the depart
ment Of labor, who receives $1,000.

TEACHER FAILS TRYING
TO FORCE AN APOLOGY
Department of Education Holds
Student Cannot Be Made to
Admit Wrong.

Trenton, N. J.-Pupils cannot be COM
PEELED to apologize to their teacher, ac-
cording to ruling Of the state depart
ment of education.
The decision is victory for Edward
Boyd, a sixth grade grammar school
pupil in Bergenfeld, accused of disre-
spect to his teacher, Miss Gertrude
Morton. He refused to apologize. The
board Of education ordered him dis
missed until he should make the
amends the teacher demanded.
According to Assistant State Com
missioner of Education John Enright,
teachers or boards of education cannot
make rule providing for the enforce
ment of an apology. There is abundant
authority for q board Of education to
suspend a pupil if there is good cause,
he said
The error of the Bergenfield board
was in suspending young Boyd indefi-
nitely. If the suspension was made for
a definite time the state department
would uphold it.
Pupils should be suspended for def
ance Of authority and bad conduct, but
temporary dismissals should be based
upon the primary cause and not be-
cause Of the refusal of q pupil to apol-
ogiZe
Young Boyd had been out Of school
since November 81. Believing he has

In October 1910, after Woodrow Viii
son delivered a great political speech in
Madison, the writer asked Henry Cas-
serley, foreman in the Democrat print
ing office, and a lifelong resident of the
capital city, what he thought of it; and
Mr. Casserley replied, 1T was the most
convincing speech ever delivered in
Madison" 1t may not be too much to
say that President Wilson's speech to
the United States senate on Monday
was the most convincing and best speech
ever delivered in Washington. It will
carry TO the ends of the earth the righ-
teous and good thought of government
by the consent Of the governed.
