THE RED CROSS THANKS THE
NEWSPAPERS.

Editor of THE BOURBON NEWS:
The newspapers again have made
an important contribution to the
success of the American Red Cross.
Through the newspapers co-opera-
ton with local Red Cross chapters
and branches and with the Lake Dr.
vision Department of Publicity, the
Red Cross Christmas Roll Call in
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky proved
an unqualified success.
The newspapers so adequately
supplemented the work of canvassers
in convincing the public that men,
bership in the Red Cross is just as
much a duty in the reconstruction
period as it was when war was in
progress that the Lake Division now
boasts of 2,275,000 members, a quar-
ter Of million more than it had
last year.
We thank you.

Director Department Of Publicity.

PRESIDENT WILSON MAY RE OF.
FERRED LEADERSHIP

PARIS, FRANCE, January "a
President Wilson is likely, to be
offered the presidency of the COM
mission of the League of Nations, the
Echo de Paris says.
BY the commission of the League
of Nations probably is meant the
permanent executive body for the
conduct of the proposed leagues af-
fairs. Should the league be success
fully organized along lines now adj
vanced it would include every civil
lied nation on earth, and thus the
presidency of its executive body
would be the highest position in the
world and in all history, making
President Wilson, if he is named for
the post, the virtual president of the

A COMMON SENSE VIEW OF THE
INFLUENZA.

Is the influenza contagious or in
fictitious, or both? In any event the
disease is transmitted from those
having it to those not afflicted by it.
Therefore, the only real preventative
is to restrict those afflicted to their
homes and to prohibit all those in
their homes from coming out, and
anyone from going in except the doc
tors and the nurses, or those who
are immune to the disease.
Respecting those who never. get
sick and who call the doctor when
the undertaken would serve better,
the Board of Health should not, dis
agree with them in theory, but ap-
ply little common sense practice
Let them believe what they will.
Whether the influenza be a malady
of the physical organism or a mental
alteration, it kills, irrespective of be-
lief. When medical science, through
one of the physicians, diagnoses the
case as influenza the victim should
be required to remain at home until
the physicians representing the
Board Of Health concludes that the
victim has a reason to say he is "all
right"
The influenza is fact, .demonstrat-
ed in hundreds of thousands of
deaths in the United States, about
ten times more fatal than the world
war. This should be sufficient to
gain the admission of every sane
person that the Influenza is a fact
and not q mental vagary, expressed
in some spurian's splutter of words
h. so ,scI, AL
huenza or whether the influenza gets
us. the result is finish ffht, and if
we do not get rid of ii it gets rid of
us, and regardless Of the truth, or |
the error, of the status Of the influ-
enza-
If, however, a quarantine ordi- |
nance is to have no more official YER
tebrae crinaline than the influneza |
mask ordinance it would be well to |
avoid the farcial repetition here in |
Paris, and to revert to the primitive |
state of the survival of the fittest,
and to save salary and Office space.
Keep the influenza patient at home,
and let the people go abroad, is my
motto, at that, without spending i
weeks in beginning to get ready to
start.
There is nightly flashed on the
at the Paris Grand Opera
an official warning that any person
or coughing will consider
himself or herself menace to the
public health and inviting them to
remove themselves from the house.
Please, gentlemen Of the Health
Board, won't you add another slide
to the list and warn those tobacco
chewers in the rear Of the house who
food the vicinity with the filthy
stun? Isn't there just as good need
of enforcement Of the anti-spittingi
ordinance as OF any other tending to
help the public? 1t is well-known

PROHIBITION DELAY
Of 13DAYS LIKELY
Constitutional Amendment May
Not Go Into Effect Until Jan.
20, Attorneys Predict.

Belief that a delay of at least thir-
teen days in the Inauguration of con-
stitutional prohibition can be ootain-
ed is gaining credence among attor-
neys here today to fight the bSttles
of the liquor interests in the Supreme
Court
Legal authorities are now being
carefully scanned in an effort to sus-
tain this belief. Unusual Importance
attaches to the point because of the
possibility that wartime prohibition
may end by the proclamation of
peace so near to the time con5titu-
tional prohibition becomes effective
that thirteen days would seem like
so many months to the liquor inter-
ests anxious to unload their large
stocks on the country.
No Legal Basis for Date.
Constitutional prohibition, accord
ing to general belief and understand
ing, becomes effective January 16, this
being one year after the Thirty-sixth
state ratified the amendment. Liquor
attorneys now claim that there is no
legal basis for this date.
The proclamation of the State De-
partment that the amendment had be-
come part of the Constitution does
not declare that thirty-six States had
ratified the amendment on January 16,
1919. 1t simply gives the States that
ratified the amendment and declares
1t has become valid to all intents
and purposes as part of the Constitu-
tion of the United States"
The data Of ia M fhe nYnCra
nation is January 20. The amend
ment itself, it is true, states it be-
comes valid one year after thirty
six States approve it
The noint the linuor attorneys will
make is that some definite date must
be proclaimed to the people as to
when constitutional prohibition be-
comes effective To support this
they refer to the recent declaration
of the Supreme Court in upholding
wartime prohibition. when II decided
that definite date must be set to
end this law through a Presidential
proclamation.
No Date Officially Set.
1t is evident after a study of the
situation that no date has ever been
officially set for the nation to be-
come dry forever. The only date on
the proclamation is January 20. and
the LIQUOR attorneys believe the court
VIII hold this as the real date con-
stitutional prohibition becomes effec-
tive, thus allowing thirteen more
days for possible wet period.
Legal experts of the State Depart
nent would not discuss whether it's
proclamation is faulty, saying that is
matter that must be decided by the
solicitor generals bureau of the De-
partment OF Justice. 1t is probable
that ruling will be asked in the
near future
