OhiO's leadership.

Ohio has sent five of her citizens to
the White House. Two other Presi-
dents, GRANT and BENJAMIN HARRI-
SON, were born in Ohio. Now, in all
human probability, we are going to
have another President Of Ohio birth
and citizenship. We do not refer to
Mr.. WATKINS, the Prohibition candi-
date, although he answers the double
description.
Ohio won the worlds championship
in baseball in 1895 with the Cleveland
Nationals, In 1919 with the Cincinnati
Reds and this year with the C'eve-
land Americans. So, until the base
ball season ends next year, the Buck
eye State can claim leadership in
Presidential and baseball matters,
both of vital interest to Americans
And IL there be folk to whom prohi-
bition is a live issue, here we have
Ohio again; for JOHN T. KRAMER, the
Federal Prohibition Commissioner,
the man who tells you when cider is
sinful, has been an Ohioan all his
pious life.

impolite language. and operators are

There is something worth while
too in "the voice with the smile"

TWO PORTRAITS.
Sargent's Impressions of President
Wilson and DIR. Eliot.

To THE New York. HERALD: Your
editorial article headed "a Remarkable
Attempt at Portraiture by DR.. Eliot" has
interested me greatly, as it bears directly
upon the fundamental quality of portrait
painting. which Is my profession.
The medium employed, either words or
paint, describes and analyses in the
same manner and uncovers conception
clearly and forcefully. according to the
skill of the artist.
John Singer Sargent has painted the
portraits of two men of the same schol-
arly eminence. President Woodrow Will
son and President Emeritus Charles
w. Eliot President Wilson's portrait
was exhibited in the Metropolitan Mu-
scum a couple of years ago. President
Eliot's portrait hangs in the Harvard
Union at Cambridge. Mass.
Mr.. Sargent has the reputation of be-
ing the most eminent In his profession
and is considered by painters the world
over to possess an equipment to render
his impression that amounts to infalli-
bility. His conceptions may often be
questioned and not agreed to, but that
he saw what he painted Is never ques-
toned.
I would ask those readers who have
read your editorial article II they have
seen the two portraits have referred
10 and to recall the impression they con-
veyed. and then I would ask them II
they would value the Endorsement of one
man for the other.

No Doe Shooting This Year.

To-day is the opening of the buck
deer season in this State. AS a pen
atty for the disastrous practice last
year Of permitting the killing of a
deer Of either sex, which resulted in
removing more than one-third of the
Adirondack herd, the sportsman this
season will have to confine himself to
one buck with horns at least three
inches long. Furthermore the hunt
ing season is diminished by two
weeks.
In the half dozen years that New
York had buck law the gunner was
permitted to kill two bucks. AS a
result Of this policy the deer herd in
creased, practically only the surplus
stock being killed. Then New York
committed a blunder and permitted
the killing of does, but the Legisla-
ture soon saw its error and repealed
the statute.
Last year it was no idle Jester who
urged deer hunters to take their "tin
hats" with them. Certainly they were
needed, for the casualties >among
hunters were high. Nine men were
killed in mistake for deer and seven
men were wounded. These killings and
woundings Of human beings were d.
rect result of the doe deer law, under
which anything that moved and looked
like deer was blazed at.
Deer hunters should make them
selves familiar with the State regu-
lations relating to the transportation
of deer. The taker may transport,
when accompanying the game, or he
may transport by common carrier, ex-
cept parcel post, when shipping per-
mits are attached, the carcass of his
deer, or part thereof, provided that
evidence of sex has not been removed.
Further, the untanned hide of any
deer shall not be dressed, trimmed or
cut in such manner as to destroy evil
dence Of sex, except in the actual
process Of tanning.
With buck law making 1t essential
to look before you shoot there should
be no casualties in the Adirondacks
or the Catskills this season. Hunters
must look for the horns.

GOATS MILK.
Favorable Report of an Experiment
on a Florida Ranch.

To THE New York HERALD: I was
much interested in your cable despatch
saying that goats milk was coming into
use in Paris.
In 1917, when passing through Wash
ington. had my attention drawn to an
effort the Department of Agriculture was
making as war measure to encourage
the industry of goat raising.
The small ranch that I started at
Port Sewall Fla. has been quite sue
cessful. The milk from these goats is
one-third richer than cows milk and SO
per cent. freer from disease germs and
stomachs.
The popular prejudice In the United
States against this milk has been derived
from the milk of the American goat
which has been improperly fed The
milk derived from the Swiss goat. when
mixed with one-third water. can hardly
be told by it's taste from that OF good
cow.
Feeding Of goats is moro economical
than cows. as they like weeds and the
young branches of trees that COW
would starve on. When giving milk the
feed should be similar to that of cows.
each goat consuming about one-eighth
the amount required for the COW.
A pure bred doe will give from four
10 six quarts day, a grade doe from
two to four.
Any one who has travelled in Switzer-
land will know the value placed by every
family on these diminutive cows.
California was the first to profit by
the suggestions of the Department of
Agriculture. and has now many ranches
all over the State. One company has a
herd of 1000 goats. and is canning the
milk, for which the demand is far
greater than the supply. at very remu-
nerative prices.
The Department of Agriculture will
Eend to any person interested It's latest
bulletin on the raising OF the Swiss milk
goat, postage prepaid, and also a list
Of breeders in this country where goats
can be obtained.
It would be we'll IL more people dis
covered the merits of this interesting
little animal in these times of high
prices and did not simply regard her as
a joke. HUGH L. WILLouGHBY.

MAJ. PUTNAM ELECTED
TO SECURITY LEAGUE
Erasmus Hall Affair Called
Result of Ignorance.

Major George Haven Putnam. who
was booed and Kissed when he attempted
TO make a speech. on Monday night at
Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn,
was elected yesterday to membership In
the National Security League. The no
tiflcation. forwarded TO Major Putnam
by President Charles ID. Orth. was ac-
companied by a statement expressing the
belief that the "indignity" OF the Eras-
mus Hall meeting was obviously due to
persons Ignorant OF the facts. misled
by unprlnclpled ringleaders."
To refute any charge of un-American-
lam, Mr.. Orth said that Major Putnam
was fighting In the ranks for the Union
before those who caused tho demonstra-
tlou were born" and that he had euf-
fcred the hardships and horrors Of Libby
prison.
Speaking Yesterday before the Rotary
Club ut the Hotel Bossert, Brooklyn,
Major Putnam said Re has been in sym
pathy with the Irish cause for years
and has advocated home rule from the
platform, but he Is not yet ready to ac-
cept recognition OF the Irish republic.

Candidate Swami.

The Bar Associations review of the
legal career of EDWARD SWAMI, who
is candidate for the Supreme Court
bench, is depressing.
Mr.. SWAMI, it says, was first a
lawyer Of limited and inadequate
practice and experience.
Later he became a Judge in General
Sessions, where his rulings were criti-
cised by the upper courts.
Finally he was elected District At
torney and as such, says the review,
he has "terrorized defendants" used
Oppressive methods" and has, in the
opinion Of Judge INGRAHAM, used his
testimony upon which indictments had
been obtained.
1t is not a picture Of the mind ind
temperament which the people like
their judges to have.
We scarcely believe, however, that
the analysis made by the Bar Asso-
citation was necessary for the enlight-
eminent Of the public in the matter Of
SWAMI. That public has been watch
ing him since he became District At
torney. He took great place and
made little one Of 1t.
The Office Of the prosecuting officer
of New York county has been held
in the last generation by men like
NIcoLL, PHILBIN, JEROME, WHITLAN
and PERKINS. Some of these District
Attorneys did great things. None of
them did mean things.
And then came SWAMI.

Our Fleet Against Russia.

The newspapers in all parts of this
country printed yesterday this des.
patch from Constantinople:
Three United States destroyers.
the Fox, the Overton and the Hum
phreys, have Joined the allied fleet
seeking to prevent the Bolsheviki
from communicating with Novoros-
six. Batum. Trebizond and Angora.
Three other destroyers and the
cruiser st. Louis are expected to
reinforce this fleet
1t is necessary for the protection of
national interests and preservation of
national rights that the Executive
shall possess broad authority In emer-
gency use Of the navy and the army
This authority Is sometimes exercised
by officers of the services on their own
responsibility to safeguard the prop
erty and the persons of Americans en-
dangered In foreign countries.
Nobody criticises such demonstra-
lions Of force as must occasionally be
made under this authority, but it Is a
notable circumstance that the Execu-
tive Department has heretofore been
quick to explain the conditions JUS
tifying such interventions.
: In the case Of the American war
ships which have joined the allied
fleet an explanation of the reason
why they have been ordered to this
service and an explanation Of the
purpose it is proposed they shall
achieve are In order.
The public is entitled to know what
American interests require the use of
the navy in aggressive action against
even the Bolsheviki.

NOT A PARTISAN ISSUE.
The Question Before the Voters Is o
American Independence.

To THE NEW York HERALD: The COM
handing issue Of this campaign Is so
prominent that it practically obliterates
all partisan questions.
That issue is Do the American peo-
pie intend to preserve intact their Dec
laration of Independence and the Con-
stitution OF the United States. together
with its unwritten constitution. the Mon
roe Doctrine. by electing Harding and
Coolidge, pledged to uphold these true
American principles?
Or will they invite the British En-
pire to assume the suzerainty Of the
United States by accepting the unmodi-
fed covenant of the League of Nations.
Is demanded by the President and his
candidates?
Will they vote for continued loyalty
and liberty or disloyalty and subservient
submission?
1t must be either one or the other.
No middle course is possible.

Making the Navy Attractive.

The cruise on which the Tennessee,
the newest American dreadnought is
about to start will help to determine
whether service In the navy can be
made so attractive that voluntary en-
listments will supply enough recruits
to man the ships Of the navy.
. The Tennessee's crew is noteworthy
In itself because 1t is composed prin-
cipally of natives Of Tennessee who
enlisted as result of the appeal
Captain LEIGH made to the pride of
the State for which the ship Is named.
No crew of any ship in any navy was
ever better cared for than the Ten
nessees crew will be. This circrlm-
stance is due in part to welfare fund
contributed by the citizens q len
nessee In place of the customary SER
vice of silver.
But 1t Is In helping the seamen to
advance themselves that greatest reli-
ance will be placed in the effort to
make naval service popular. The
editor of the Tennessee Tar strikes
the keynote thus:

TREATING LEPROSY.
Chaulmoogra OIL Beneficial, but Its
Effects Are Not Yet Fully Known.

From Public Health Reports.
The following conclusions may be
drawn from our recent experience in
the treatment of leprosy:
The intramuscular injection of the
ethyl esters of the fatty acids OF chaul-
moogra oil usually leads to a rapid i'm
rrovement in the clinical symptoms OF
leprosy. In many cases the LESSONS dis
appear. except for scars and permanent
injuries, and the leprosy bacillus can no
longer be demonstrated.
When combined with iodine the fatty
acids of chaulmoogra oil and their esters
give good results: but there is no ade-
quate experimental proof that this addi-
ton of iodine causes any increase in the
effectiveness of the materials used.
All of the available evidence obtained
from the use of fractions OF the fatty
acids of chaulmoogra oil indicates that
the therapeutic action is due to one or
more of the fatty acids of the oil or
TO some as yet unidentified substance
associated Herewith. The various meth
eds Of fractionation heretofore employed
have failed to demonstrate the active
agent.
Although conclusive evidence Is not at
hand. It is probable that the oral admin
istratton OF chaulmoogra oil derivatives

the injections.
In treating leprosy It is important to
mike use Of all auxiliary agencies to
build UP and maintain bodily vigor. y.
Hypodermic injections OF the ethyl es-
ters into leprous nodules are followed
by marked swelling with ultimate re-
cesslon of the LESSONS. This is n valu-
able auxiliary treatment for especially
resistant LESSONS.
Summarize has been sufficiently es-
tablished that chaulmoogra oil contains
enc or moro agents which exert a
marked therapeutic action in many cases
OF leprosy. We cannot say as yet that
the disease Is cured, since we have no
test adequate to establish such a YER

standing at the gateway to this i'm

hundreds of thousands of ballots into

that no experienced political observer

Manhattan Island.
But those hundreds Of thousands of
earnest and determined citizens, Re-
publicans, Democrats and indepen-

covenant along with WILSON'S pro-
grammes and Cox's residuary legatee-
ship far out to sea ought not to be

The Right to Assemble and Talk.

Justice KEoGH of the Supreme
Court, while declaring unconstitu-
tional the Mount Vernon street speak
ing ordinance, takes pains to make 1t
clear that the soap boxers do not
own the streets:
II do not mean by this decision to
question the right Of the municipal
authorities to regulate by reasonable
ordinance the holding of meetings IN
the streets of the city"
Evidently there is still an oppor-
tunity for Mount Vernon, taking a
lesson from the mistakes In the form
of the ordinance, to make provision
for the comfort Of the people who
walk as distinguished from the COM
tort of those who merely talk.
Nobody who has given a moments
clear thought to that part of the State
Constitution which guarantees free
dom of speech and peaceable assem-
blage ever believes that crowd has
right to gather just where and
when It pleases.
