1t is safe to predict that school
children will have to present doc.
tors certificates for various things
until the school buildings can be
plastered with them, and the pub
lie generally will have their gener-
al health looked after by that dis
tinguished body, the state board of
health. Another thing you may
rest assured about is that every
rule made by the state board of
health will be one of profit to the
pocketbooks of the doctors of the
country. Those who are behind
this movement to make the state
board of health a controlling force
in this state have not the good of
the state entirely in view. Their
minds are on something else as
we'll.
If the state board of health is up
held in the courts in its order for
vaccination the people are certainly
in the clutches of the board and its
allies. The state board of health
will be czar in the laid, possess
ing power never before exercised
by any organization except the gen.
eral assembly. That the board will
use that power arbitrarily and AFRO.
gantly goes without saying
If the state board of health is up
held in its order for vaccination by
the time that organization has COM
pletely shown its hand the people.
will no doubt be in the mood to see
that no man is sent to the legislature
who does not favor stripping that
board of its arbitrary powers. Every
member of the legislature who was
asleep when the state board of
health run the measure through at
tempting to give the board un-
precedented powers should be de-
feated for reelection or put under
bond to keep his eyes open if he is
elected again.

The decision of the attorney general
on the matter of the manufacture Of
extracts practically places. all these
supposedly necessary household COM
modities in the liquor list and con-
trollable under the bone dry laws of
the state. If reports are true the at
torney general is correct in his hold
ings. A jag is a jag whether it is
produced by lemon extract or Three
Star Hepnesey, and as lemon extract
jags are frequent and the sale of ex-
tracts has become heavy since the
dry law went into effect, there is rea-
son to believe that the sale should be
controlled the same as other liquors.
