A Democratic member OF the Unit

the nomination OF Cox and was dis
appointed when his nomination came

An important official OF the treas
ury department: We've got It com
ing to us and we deserve II. We've
been here in control for more than
seven years and there hasn't been
and Democratic party: it's been
woodrow Wilson party and the peo-
pie have gotten tired Of It ond are

there Is to It,"
A Texas newspaper correspondent
Just back from a tour Of the west,
including Ttxas: "Ccx has just one
chance. II he can make whirlwind
campaign through Indiana, Illinois,
and Ohio the last two weeks in Oc-
tober, and can convince the women
voters that the league of nations will
keep us out of war in the future, he
may pull through; today Cox is bad
ly defeated
A Democratic congressman who
personally is wet: Cox isia wet and
nothing he says or does will disabuse
the country Of that idea. He made
mistake when he lodged that Is
sue while on the Pacific coast. He
would have been far better off II he
had frankly stated what SO many OF
us know to be his personal views.
The people may oppose q man be-
ca use he Is wet, or because he Is dry
but they have no use for man who
refuses to answer blunt questions,
such as were put to Cox in the state
Of Washington"
One. Of the Oldest political writers
in Washington:
when the country is confronted
with such issues as are Immediately
Iahead of the United States, no man
can expect to be elected president
who talks about a mythical senate
oligarchy, about the mythical Repub-
lican slush fund of fist fifteen mil
lion dollars and then thirty million
dollars; who takes advantage of the
very queer support given him by the
Scripps newspaper outfit while COM
planning that Republican papers do
not give him a square deal, and who
almost entirely ignores the real is
sues on which the attention Of the
. people Is being conferred. Especially
is this true when his opponent Is
conducting a dignified campaign, de-
livering speeches that deal altogeth-
er with the big issues, and is ignor-
ing small things and RETAINING from
mud singing"
A Republican correspondent who
had crossed the continent since Cox
was nominated: Cox will be lucky
IL he carries anything outside of the
solid south. The solidly Democratic
south is the only thing that will pre-
vent Cox from being as badly de-
feated as Taft was in 1912"

New Order of Camels
Organize in Chicago
McDonough of Iron County was
Chief Speaker

The camels have come to Chicago,
This IS new fraternal organization
started in Milwaukee which hopes 10
make America wet again. Four mil
lion is the membership mark this or
ganization hopes to reach by Janu-
AIRY 10, 1920.
The chief speaker at the organiza-
ton meeting was the new-found hero
of the vets, Martin 5. McDonough,
OF Iron county, Mich His fame and
as favor by iie VETS resulted from
the fact that he took the side OF beer
and wine in his home county in spite
Of the fact that as prosecuting attor-
ney he had sworn 10 uphold the Con
stltution and the laws Of the state and
the United States. Also in spite Of
the fact that Iron county, Mich, yot-
ed dry on the beer and wine amend
mcnt, the TACT that Michigan voted
dry on the beer and wine amendment,
! and the fact that the United States
Constitution prohibits beer and wine.
Like other wet orators. Mr.. Nc
, Donough took considerable pains TO
state that he personally cares very
little for liquor. He based his oppo-
sition to the dry program on the
claim that he fayors temperance in
stead of Prohibition Although the
audience expected him to speak oi
the Iron River affair, he refused to
discuss the incident He asked the
people to draw their own conclusions
from newspaper reports
In this connection it is interesting
to note that Mr.. McDonough was
elected an honorary member OF a
Chicago press club following the
notoriety he received in connection
with the Iron River case.
That the Camels mean business and
expect to put on great campaign
for members is evident from the fact
that two other old-timc wet orators
were on the program with Mr.. Nc
Donough at the organization meet
ing. They were Clarence Darrow and
Charles A. Windlc.
Both OF these old-t time platform
gladiators for the booze crowd used
the same arguments so ineffectively
used i'll their attempts to keep Amer
lea from going dry. At the conclusion
OF the meeting membership cards
were handed to the departing audi
ence
Apparently there was no great rush
TO join. Perhaps the fact that mem
bership fee is cxacted OF all Camels
explains this apparent lack OF men-
bership enrollments.
Just how much the Camels will al
feet the political situation in the fu-
ture is hard to predict at the present
time. Doubtless the organization will
be used to concentrate the wet vote
in the legislative primary on Septem-
Der Is in behalf OF men who favor
beer and wine

DR.. Wiley's Testimony Oh Beer

DR.. Wiley's Testimony on Beer
DR.. Harvey ". Wiley, Chief chem
ist OF the United States Department
of Agriculture 1SS3-l9l2, and presi-
dent OF the United States Pharma-
copoeial Convention since 1910, says:
alcohol is admitted by all experts
to be toxic substance without re-
Spect to its quantity. \ little OF II
produces a small degree OF intoxica-
ton, lot of it very advanced dc
gree OF intoxication, aud certain
quantity OF it produces death
Dr.. Arthur Dean Bevan, president
OF the American Medical Association
upon being duly sworn made the fol
lowing statement:
THE question as TO whether beer
containing 2.75 per cent alcohol is
intoxicating or not Is not matter OF
scientific medical opinion. but mat
ter OF common knowledge and COM
mon sense. 1t is matter OF COM
mon knowledge that beer which
has been heretofore sold in the
United States, containing from 81 TO
A. per cent alcohol. is definitely in
toxicatine and that an individual can
get drunk on limited number OF bot
ties OF such beer. If. for example,
the ordinary individual became more
or less intoxicated OIL half dozen
bottles OF beer which contained from
81 to AZ per cent alcohol, it is a
perfectly plain common-scnsc prop
osition that the same individual would
become just as intoxicated by drink
ing instead OF six say eight bottles OF
beer containing pa per cent alcohol.
There can be absolutely no doubt but
that beer containing 2M per cent al
cohol is an Intoxicating beverage in
that an individual can become drunk
on the amount that is frequently con
sumed."

DISORDERLY ARRESTS
GREATLY DECREASED
IN DRY CHICAGO

The following is the record
OF arrests furnished to The
American Issue by the Chicago
police department for the first
six mopths under Prohibition,
compared with the correspond
ing six months in 1918. In
Chicago cases OF drunkenness
and cases of disorderly con.
duct are not classified scpa-
rately in the police records.
Accordingly the arrests for
drunkenness in Chicago have
decreased more than the fol-
lowing figures, which include
arrests for disordcrly conduct,

Little doubt is entertained by On
tario physicians as to the dangers Of
beer drinking. Some OF the com
ments were as follows:
Beer causes insidious and danger
Gus degenerative changes i'll bodily
tissues, equally il not more destructive
than spirituous liquors"
False fat, weakened resistance,
lard arteries, diseased organs
Beer, | believe TO be a more insid-
uously demoralizing and deeitalizing
drink than whisky, because most beer
drinkers take il as often as they are

Ingredients and drugs, and % per cent

Whatever food valuc there may be
in the mali OF the beer, or tonic value
in the hops, is neutralized by the al

,alns. therefore. the poorer it is as a
food or tonic.
The alcohol of beer and the alcohol
OF whisky arc identical Whisky
drinking is dangerous because OF the
alcohol poison which the whisky con
te,ns, Beer drinking is dangerous for
,ho same reason.
Beer Worse Than Whisky
Modern medical men are, however,
pretty well agreed that on the whole,
spsrt from the alcoholic poison, beer
drinking is more mischevous than
whisky drinking DR.. Chas. Gilbert
Davis says: Beer is doing more
harm to humanity than all other alco-
hoiics,' DIR. S. II. Bergen says: 81
think beer kills quicker than any other
liquor"
DR.. John NJ. Dodson, Dean of the
Medical Department of the University
of Chicago. explains this in these
words:
"Beer-drinking has very pcrni-
cious effect uoon nearly every organ
of the body 1t produces disease of
the stomach and digestive tract, of
the heart and circulatory system, of
the kidneys and the liver, and OF the
nervous system. in addition to this,
it lessons the vigor and vital resist
ance of the whole body, and makes
the beer drinker very much more sus-
ceptiblc to infection, such as pneu-
monia and other diseases The

Nervous Effects From Beer

macology in Harvard University, chief
OF the division of Pharmacology of
the H, gienc Laboratory of the United
States Public Health Service 1904
1913, author OF Studies in Expert
mental Alcoholism (1907) reviews in
his affidavit the Dodge ex-
perimcnts at the Carnegie Nutrition
Laboratory which used doses of alco-
hol nearly equivalent to those i'll to
IL litres of beer containing a little
less than 2.75 per cent of alcohol by
weight. DIR. Hunt says:
"If by the term Intoxicating liquor
is meant liquor which contains suffi-
cicnt alcohol to cause, when the liquor
is taken in amounts which arc not
usually taken by men, distinct effects
upon the nervous system, the effects
being characteristic OF and due to the
contained alcohol am of the opinion
that beer containing 2.75 per cent by
weight of alcohol should be classcd
as an Intoxicating beverage
A great deal OF additional testimony
on the harmful effect OF beer is on
record. The above is typical of state
