HIRAM JOHNsoN'S MASTERPIECE
New York WORLDLY

The Hon. Hiram johnson jumps into
the midst of things in South Dakota
and submits his presidential candidacy
on q platform affirming that Il be-
lieve that the government belongs to
all the people, not a favored few; that
the farmer and the toiler have the
same privileges as the banker and the
capitalist; that all classes are sub
ject and none superior to the law"
That is a perfect platform. Neither
Wall street nor the I. w. w. would
change word of it. Democrats, Re-
publicans. Nonpartisan Leaguers and
Socialists can all get aboard. Hiram
will never have any trouble with that
platform until he tries to apply it to
some specific issue.

STATE POLICE FIND CLUES IN
ILLNESS DUE TO DRINKING
POISONOUS STUFF.

One of the things for which the
State Police are constantly on the
lookout now is the outbreak of cpl
denies of illness due to poisoning
traceable to the drinking of moon
shine liquor. 1t has been found that
the opening Of new Illicit still is
usually followed by such sickness in
the neighborhood and the health re-
ports give valuable clues.
Many of the stills seized are crude
affairs and metals are used in their
construction which result In the form.
alton of poisonous oxides in the
liquor. Stills in which tin, zinc and
lead are used are sure to produce
liquor of a poisonous nature. Even
where the stills are made Of other
metals. the ignorance of the amateur
distillers often results in making the
distilled spirits they produce very
deleterious to health.
Among the raids which have re-
suited from liquor poisoning have
been those near Grayling where q
number of dangerous stills were
found.

ed the fact that they knew very little
about either. What the State Police
wanted to know was why the base
ball chest-protector was filled with air
and why the inner tubes were inflat-

vestigation revealed the fact that all
were loaded with whisky. About a
dozen small bottles of the liquor were
also found concealed in the car. A
