that the Government of the United

city is kept in such a condition that
the possibility OF disease spread is
reduced to a minimum. He must see
that the 10000 children in the schools

Govt OPERATION
out OF POLITICS
Party Leaders Convinced by
Results of National Can
vasS of Editors.
vINDICATEs FORMER POLL.
Before From Both Sides of
Political Fence.

Washington.-Inner circles of both
political parties here are greatly in
terested in the results of national
poll on the question of government
operation among over 5000 newspa-
per editors throughout the country.
With Sc per cent of these editors, re-
gardless of political faith, giving it as
their impartial Spinion that the public
is more than ever opposed to the gov
ernment going into business in com
petition with its citizens, observers
here see little chance that either po-
litical party will find it a profitable
campaign issue.
In the opinion of party leaders this
sort Of canvass among newspaper
editors is the best possible index of
public opinion. They recall similar
QUESTIONABLE sent out a year ago in
connection with the proposition that
the government take over the rail-
roads permanently. Replies at that
time from approximately the same
number of editors showed 83 per cent
against the principle Of government
operation. They recall also that with
in ten days from publication cf the
result Of the former QUESTIONABLE the
sentiment for return of the railroads
to their owners had definitely crys-
tallized.
Comparison Of present results in de-
tail with those of year ago con-
vinces the political student not only
that these editors have been accurate
in their judgment, but that party con-
9iderations played no part in form
ing it. From Democratic and sup
posedly radical Texas, for example,
the present QUESTIONABLE brought re-
plies from editors Of 244 papers, only
three of which are Republican. Yet
the percentage against government
ojeration was 90, which is exactly the
same as that given by 200 editors
from Republican Michigan, among
whom were representatives Of only
three Democratic papers. Other
states that pair percentages signii-
cantly are Massa achusetts and Nevada,
with 100; Connecticut and South Caro-
Una, with 81; Maine and West Vir-
gihia, with 90; Kentucky and New
York, with 81; Missouri and Pennsyl-
vania, with SO; Ohio and Oklahoma,
with 81.
The result of the present poll as to
government operation in each state
are graphically shown by the follow

SOUR STOMACH
INDIGESTION
ThedfOrd's Black-Draught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer for Troubles Re-
sulting from Torpid
Liver.

East Nashville, Tenn The effic-
lency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr.. w. N. Parsons,
grocer Of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and
don't believe could get along without
1t. I take it for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result OF
torpid liver.
"I have known and used 1t for years,
and can and do highly recommend 1t
to every one. I won't go to bed with
out it in the house. 1t will do all it
claims to do. l can't say enough for
It."
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black
Draught just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
It's normal functions, and in cleansing
the bowels of impurities.
Thedford's Black -Draught liver medi-
cine is the original and only genuine.
Accept no limitations or substitutes.
Always ask for Thedford's. Ea

But There Are Reasons Why British

Royal PrerogatiVe.

If the king did all he might do with
out exceeding his royal prerogatlVe
the nation would be startled. He can
veto a bill passed in both houses; he
can dissolve and summon parliament;
he can select or dismiss his ministers;
he can declare war; he can make
treaties and create peers; he can APP
point bishops. governors and judges
and all "on his own" He could cede
the duchy of Cornwall to a foreign
power, disband the army and navy,
and sell the dreadnaughts and naval
stores. He could give every govern
ment official, from the highest to the
lowest, the "push," could pardon all
criminals, and could stop the whole
machinery of government. But there
Is an unwritten law Of common sense,
fortified by long usage, which makes 1t
unthinkable that the king should do
these things; and in the last resort,
which is never likely to occur, the
king. being a constitutional monarch,
reims by the will of the people, and
could be deposed by act of parliament.

| sippi. His explorations were chiefly III
what is today Texas, Arizona and Ne"
Mexico In all the Indian villages, ac-
cOrding to those early explorers, tuf-
keys were to be found, both wild and
dOmestiCated.
Cortes. in one Of his famous letters
written about 1918, mentions the tur-
key. He carried specimens of the bird
TO Spain in 1920, where they came into
immediate popularity, and the breed
ing of turkeys soon became establish
ed. 1t was then that the turkey De-
came known as "pavoS," on account
of his relationship to the peacock,
which was then called "pavo real
the fowl of kings.
II was a long time before the tur-
key reached France, as far as can DE
learned from history, for the first tur-
KEY eaten there was at the wedding
of Charles TX and Elizabeth OF Aus
tria. June 81, 1879, or so years after
Spain had first tasted the bird. The
turkey supplied for the wedding came
from somewhere In the American
wilderness"
It's introduction into England seems
to have been in 1924. But, whenever
1t was, 1t soon came into popular favor
and was given such local names as
Black Norfolk and Large Cambridge
It is an interesting fact that these
descendants Of the parent stock were
carried back again across the Atlantlc
ocean to New England, where, crossed
with the original turkey already there,
they began the breed that has spread
from one end of the country to the
other.
MANY have been the explanations
made as to how the bird now SO popu-
lar at Thanksgiving came to be called
the turkey, most Of which, to the true
scientist are nothing but fanciful. The
bird was called turkey because 1t was
supposed to come from Turkey, where
II was known as an Egyptian hen.
The markets Of north Europe received
this fowl as coming from south Eu-
rome. directly or indirectly from Tur-
key. In France, however, the bird was
called "dlndon," or in the feminine
"dinde," as though 1t were the fowl
d'Inde-from India.
But whatever dispute has arisen as
to the name of the turkey, the fact yet
remains that the turkey Is indigenous
to America. Although scientists be-
lieve it is possible that there was
species, the original Of the present tur-
key, indigenous to the West India Is
lands, 1t is generally conceded that all
turkeys have descended In some way
or other from the three forms known
today as the North American, the Mex
ican and the Honduras, the ocellated
variety.
The Mexican turkey is found wild
throughout the republic. 1t appears to
be the species first taken to Spain and
other European countries. 1t Is
thought that the white markings Of the
variety of domestic turkey known to-
day as the Narragansett come from
this species.
Whatever the turkey may have miss
ed through falling to secure that place
of honor suggested for 1t by Benjamin
Franklin-as the national bird-it has
nevertheless found place In the re-
gard OF the American people which Is
held by no other fowl-at least at
Thanksgiving.
