health of the people?
The answer is this: The appeals
have been heard and they have been
seriously considered, but with both
hands tied little or nothing can be
authority and the hand of finance it
can merely shout advice and kick at
restraint.
1t is surprising to note the number
of people who are still under the i'm
preston that the state board of health
has almost unlimited powers and is
reasonably well equipped with funds.
Let us look at the situation as it
really is:
The board has the authority to re-
quest information concerning diseases
prejudicial to public health, but can
not institute an investigation nor in
troduce measures for control. Local
assisted. Indifference or neglect of
duty may be noted but cannot be cor
rected.
Provision has been made for the
study of waited and sewerage works
without the power to regulate. The
statutes require the dissemination of
information on health subjects without
providing funds for the purpose. Vital
statistics which should be available
within a few weeks cannot be tabulat-
ed for over a year because of restric-
tions imposed.
These few examples should be suffi-
cient to convince the most skeptical
or the urgent necessity for granting
the state board regulating power and
for the reorganization Of the health
system of the state.
To glance at the finances, the ap-
preparations for the fiscal year are as

chord that will find a sympathetic re-
spouse in the hearts of one hundred
million of his countrymen. The sltua-
ton is one that ncalled for plai
speaking, for the petty partisanS in
the Senate-men calling themselves
Republicans and Democrats-haye
accomplished absolutely nothing by
their policy of fault-fnding and OBJ
struction except to make themselves
offensive and TO arouse suspicion as
to their loyalty to American prin-
ciples and TO the cause of democracy
and liberty which America has es-
poused. To the men who have been
thus exhibiting their littleness annd
that partisanship the Mississippi Sen
ator addresses this Injunction:
You have danced your ballet,you
have sung your song. America is
tired of you and We are tired of you.
We want you to do something"
1t is not a pretty picture that is
here painted of legislative cham
Der to which we were wont to point
with pride as the most dignified and
august in the world. Yet it has, I'M
fortunately, elements of truth which
have their parallel in the House of

men seem to have forgotten is that

1t is reassuring, however. to re-
member that the great majority OF
both parties in Senate and House,

Why National Prohibition?

we must ngnt the liquor evil ma
tionally because it fights nationally.
In 1906, local option was the meth
Cd except in three northern States,
Maine, Kansas, North Dakota. Why
was that method given up in 1907,
and since in twenty-three additional
States? 1t was because the liquor
traffic would not fight locally. 1t
was as if the people of Yorktown
had left to fight CORVALLIS with To-
cal forces only on one side, and ma
tiOnal on the other.
When small towns went dry the
liquor interests, entrenched in the
county seat, did not accept the YER
dict of the majority vote, but sent
their advertisements, their solicitors
and their liquors to speak-easies
and brothels, and bribed officials, and
then cited their defiance of law as
reason for giving up the fight Then
local optioniStS extended the fight to
the county, but liquor interests kept
up their attack from the State me-
tropolis, and when States went dry"
they We're attacked from wet"
States
And ali these fights, local, county
and State, were managed like the
German submarine campaign and the
German spy system by the Stealthy
and mighty Central Powers" the
beer and Whiskey trusts, which we
must fight to the finish nationally
and internationally or lie down I'M
der the worlds most horrible tyran-
ny, which has scheduled every infiu-
entail man in politics and business
in its vast card system for political
or commercial death or abject sub
mission. The beer barons boosted
that in the State where beer is in
tluential from Ohio Westward they
killed politically every official who
took leading part in the prOhibi-
ton advance of 1907-S. 1t is not
alone to protect the home and hon
est business that the liquor traffic
must be dethroned, but yet more to
protect democracy against treason
able despotism."
Why Constitutional Prohibition?
Because such a matter can not be
left in statutes, open to assaults of
that invisible Government" that has
twice in this session of Congress re
versei overnight statutory votes in
the United States Senate against
beer first, and whiskey later For
political peace and purity we must
put our decree against the drink
curse in the citadel of the Constitu-
ton where it can not be reversed eX-
cept by the deliberate choice OF
three-fOurths OF the Legislatures,
that will doubtless place it there
within six years TO protect effective
~ the home and honest business and
civil liberty against their chief foe.
Surely the attitude of the National
Government toward such a physical
and moral and commercial and po-
liticaI destroyer should be not one
of revenue partnership. but of pro
hibitiOn.

was questioned about this he professed
ignorance.
Subsequently platter Of breakfast

bowie knife and loaded revolver
concealed in his clothes, gagged and

Sometime before daybreak Colonel
Dare visited his major. He found him
in bed attended by a staff physician

that he had been attacked on the
street outside the barracks when the
box containing the waters was stolen.
Chloroform had been administered,
