Brad's Bit O. Verse
NOTHING NEW.

King Solomon was rich and
great, he ruled with dignity and
state. He never hoed hill Of corn
or titled a field or trimmed a thorn;
he did not know. six feet away, a
sand burr from a bale of hay; the
sweat of toll ne-er wet his brow;
he did not reap or SOW or pillow. Yet
he could tell the farmer guys how
to raise.oats and swat the flies and
how the stubborn gleve to charm
and how to run a chicken farm.
Its not for quick results" said he,
but for the ages yet to be. In just
about four thousand years my
thoughts will find their working
gears. Within some far and dis
tant age my household hints will
be the rage; the city farmer will sit
round and write long screeds about
the ground and tell the crops just
how to grow and prod the farmer
who is slow and quote the sluggard
and the ant and tell the toiler what

tiresome screeds OF city gents on
Country Needs" or hear long talks
on Grains and CRISIS" from office
agriculturists, we, sigh: The wise

BY WILLIAM & BRADY ND.

PhwhiShkey and the PharmacOpoela
The Z. S. Pharmacopoeia is revts
ed every ten years by a committee
of representative physicians, phar-
macists and chemists. In the last
decennial revision whisky and
brandy (Spiritus Frumenti and
Spirits Vini GallicD were omitted,
as you know, because these alco-
-holic liqdors were no longer deemed
incidentally necessary. AS none but
the revisers can legally determine
whether alcoholic liquors possess
any medicinal value, it follows that
the government has officially,
through the Pharmacopoeia, pro-
claimed that alcoholic liquors have
no medicinal value. How then can a
physician under the law prescribe
alcoholic liquors for medicinal use ?
be, I am sure, interesting to the
reading public. (Enquirer)
Answer-The U. S. Pharmacopoeia
does specify certain standards of
strength and purity of various med
icines, and is a legal standard which
all druggists must accept However,
many good medicines are not men
toned in the Pharmacopoeia, and
a physician is not limited to Phar-
macopoeia remedies. Personally. I
don't see how doctor today can
prescribe whisky or brandy as a
medicine; but the fact that these
liquors were omitted from the U. s.
Pharmacopoeia would scarcely be
sufficient to make it illegal for A
doctor to prescribe them if he sees
fit.

Woman Should Know.

Victor Berger. who is contending for his
seat in congress despite the fact that he is I'M
der sentence for disloyalty, raises~ the point
that the bird of liberty nearly always has been
a Jail bird There is enough Of truth in the
statement to fool good many people. Berger
would not now be under sentence if the coun-
try had not been at war. Under peace condi-
tons there would have been no enemy to be
aided and comforted by the things he said and
wrote Ordinarily it is better to be so years
ahead of the times than so years behind them,
but being either during a war involving ones
country, is to be useless and often dangerous.

manship on a devastating criticism
of Woodrow Wilson's railroading. =
By such methods the Republicans
may make the country Wilson
and anti-democratic. They will not
make it really pro-Republican.
The growth OF bolshevism, the
growth of the Nonpart;san league,
the growth of other new radical
farmers organizations. the emery
ence of labor parties on the Allan
tic coast and in the middle west and
on the Pacific slope. all show a
growing Impotence over IN
answered issues. The Democratic
party has lost control of congress
because OF its evasions and its
quack remedies. The Republican
party. If il undertakes in its turn TO
evade issues. will help to plunge the
country into an era OF confused
struggles and turmoils. II will turn
peoples minds away from orderly
progress through two great political
parties TO a disorderly scramble
among many small opposing groups
conservative and liberal and reac-
tionary and revolutionary.
The Republican party claims to
be the party of constructive imagin-
alton entirely hypnotized by the at j.,
tention it is now bestowing on
Woodrow Wilson? Next Monday "a
Il O'Clock. noon. the Republican
party will begin to answer. VIII it

to investigate Woodrow Wilson and
his assistants? Or will it principally
investigate and serve the United
States?

to the senate of the United States. which must
pass upon the pact
Ministers Of the state are asked to cooper
ate, by suggesting in their Memorial day
vices on May Is that the establishment of a
league of nations will be the most fitting
memorial to our boys who gave themselves<tn
what they believed to be a war to end~war.
Plainly it is the duty of the common. every
day people to learn as much as they about
international affairs 1t isn't safe to let the
politicians do our thinking about the league OF
nations for US, for the politicians always think
first about themselves, of the emoluments and
perQuisites of Office and the most effective
manner of maintaining connections Herewith
The big idea never originates and seldom finds
much encouragement in legislative circles. If
there is to be any real progress in International
affairs or in any other direction the people
must take the lead.
The league Of nations proposes to apply
to political units the common sense restraints
which now are everywhere accepted a mat
ter of course by individuals. It is a departure
from the established order of things, in which
the nation has been held answerable for its
acts to no human power outside its own boun-
diaries. Individuals who do the governing do
not like to yield that prerogative. They are
not prepared to recognize the fact that the
rights of all the nations are greater than the
rights of any one nation.
The United States senate is likely to haggle
over the league of nations till the public whip
lash cracks over its head. Let us be ready to
apply the leather, if it's needed.

Annexation.

Rock Island never has turned down annexa-
ton when the question came formally before
the voters and it will hardly do so now. All
the district between Twenty-frst and Forty
sixth streets north of Thirty-frst avenue
should be IN the city. 1t is being rapidly d-
yided for residence purposes and there should
be some way to control the manner in which
it is plated. 1t also will tend to remove much
confusion if the straight line of Thirty-irst
avenue is substituted for the present irregular
one which constitutes the southern boundary
of the east half Of the municipality.
Property owners in the district involved I'M
derstand better than they did a few years ago
what advantages they may expect from the
city. They especially need sidewalk and paw
ing extensions and they are hoping to be
favored, at no distant date, with street car
line. good many of them would like to have
city water and better school facilities and all
realize the importance of being included in
the comprehensive plans. for a sewer system
that the bluff section stands in such urgent
need of. Becoming part of the city is the first
step toward realizing all these advantages and
it is the only way they can be secured. What
has been done for other territory recently an
nexed is the best possible guaranty of what
will be done for other new districts that may
be admitted.
The annexation argument in this case,
heretofore, is all one side of the question,

TESTING REPUBLICAN IMAGIN
ALTON.

Chicago Daily News Republican,
Next Monday at II O'Clock, noon,
as congress opens, the republican
party will begin to decide whether
it is party existing merely for the
criticism of Woodrow Wilson or
whether primarily it exists for the
benefit OF the country.
Many Republican congressman
have confessed the sins of MIR. Will
sons secretary of war. How many
of them have shown the slightest IN
terest in the existing need for a
thorough Reorganization of the war
department into two branches-an
army-managing branch and an
army-supply-buying branch-with-
out which nobody's secretary Of
war, however personally able, can
possibly make the war department
what it ought to be?
Many Republican congressman
have shown great skill in blaming
Mr.. Wilson for the spread of boil
shevism in the United States. They
have labored nightly, as have
many Democrats, at orations in
furtherance of the idea of strong
laws to stop the waving of flags of
certain color and to stop the max
ing OF speeches in certain words
and to stop the singing of songs
with certain tunes and in general to
stop ali outward MANIFESTATIONS of
inward bolshevist feelings. The czar
had this idea. From d too exclusive
diet of it he persisted 1t is a mega
tive idea and, taken by itself, dead
ly The country listens for con-
structive suggestions which will help
to STAY bolshevism by bringing true
progress beneficial TO all the peo-
pie.
The country listens also for Re
publican expressions of opinion re-
garding the great and grave prob
lem of governmentsownership ana it
hears principally that the railroads
should be forthwith simply return
ed to their owners. But this solu-
ton is resisted by the owners them
selves, through most of their com
mittees. Unaccompanied by further
Legislation. it would bankT PIT many
railroads. 1t is an impossible so1u
ton. What is the advantage of pro-
posing it and of dwelling on it and
of evading the further legislation,
novel and drastic. which alone can
give US our new future railroading?
The advantage is that in the mean
time one can expend ones states
