KILLING ANOTHER INDUSTRY.

Marshalltown Times Republican:
Here is another group of hard working
men to be thrown out of employment
and forced to seek ether means of liv-
lihood by the prohibitory law-the
proprietors of "jag cures" state that
they will go out of business within a
year after prohibition takes effect.
Isn't it an outrage upon the personal
liberty of the attendants in those "in-
stitutes," upon the capital invested,
etc, etc.? Those men have invest
ments in jag cures. The fees earned
by the doctors that shoot the Student
full of apomorphia and the wage Of
the orderly who brings the basin and
cleans up after the consequent debacle
all 'help business" But the industry
is planning to shut its doors, quit ad-
yertising and be cast forth an orphan
upon the wide, wide business world.
Tough, isn't it!
Perhaps we have made mistake.
Maybe We ought to continue making
students" for gold institutes" rather
than to see an industry, once flourish
ing like a green bay tree, fade and die
of hamilton, wrecked and ruined by
a prDhibitory law that strikes at its
very root. There's only one way to
keep them running which is to keep
on making drunkards for them and
the only thing that makes drunkards
is booze. See where you get and what
You do when you restrict the personal
liberty OF people to make wrecks Of
themselves and take jag cures?

WHY CERTAIN SENATORS RAVE.

The partisan senators, whose mad
ness is now at the frothing OF the
mouth stage, have some ground for
their abnormal condition. Had Presi-
dent Wilson led the country into an
unsuccessful war, they could easily
discredit his work and defeat the
treaties which he has negotiated. 1t
is easy to attack failure. But, in
stead Of that, they find themselves
attacking Success and such a task
is certainly exasperating, it is mad
dening.
They know the policy of attacking
success has never won a national
election in This country, and that
knowledge is sufficient to account for
their raging condition. IT they con-
tinue their unreasonable rawlings un-
til the commencement of the next
presidential campaign. by that time
they will have about as much influ-
ence as joking clowns.

HUMAN LIFE

Human life is imponderable, that is
to say it is shapeless, formless and
weightless. 1t is not explainable, not
defnable.
The Creator, for some all wise pur-
pose, has placed a knowledge OF the
attributes Of life beyond the reach OF
human understanding.
It is easy to believe that life cannot
be destroyed. because all destructive
agencies and forces known to man can
only destroy ponderable substances,
substances that have both form and
weight. These agencies and forces
can separate life from It's ponderable
body, because they can destroy that
which is ponderable, but they can not
destroy life, which is that part Of man
which distinguishes the living from
the dead.

problem which confronts those who
want to amend the League Covenant
The Covenant is pictured as an egg
and those who think they, can i'm.
prove it's form by slight amendments
are standing nearby with hammers and
amendment spikes in their hands
Above the cartoon is this quotation
from sthe old nursery rhyme:

the Kings men

gether again" a IA
II bur senatorial tinkers break in
