xx yHO THAT has read the Bible, or Ben Hur, or the stories of medieval Europe and the East, can forget the shudder caused by the picture of tic leper wander ing at a distance from the habitation of his fellows and keeping them away clean, unclean!"
 Who can help feeling almost a sense of relics to know that Gov. Mccarthy of Hawaii. in his annual message reports practical results, if not actual cures, of leprosy by the use of a new agent.
 This agent, technically known as an "thyl ester,' is derived from the chaulmoogra, an East Indian plum rich in fats. These esters are inject ed into the afflicted persons muscles and it is said that of one hundred and sixty eight who received the treatment over a fourth remain ap- parentIy cured after some two years , Egyptian records dating from 426C B. c. describe the "unclean.' There are records of leprosy in India tha date back to 1900 B. C., and Japar recorded it as far back as 1850 B. c It is evident therefore that the dis ease is as ancient as it is terrible. B,

A CASE FOR THE REGULATOR

IT T IS EVIDENT that Representa-
 tive SchaH, a Republican mem Der of Congress from Minnesota, needs regulating, and needs it badly. Not only is he guilty of having here<- teal opinions about political matters but he is trying to get them lnooI . porated into law.
 He has introduced bill into Con- gress winch, if passed, would require presidential candidates, at least six rnaries to define to the country just where they stood on questions of gov ernmental policies.
 What Is the matter with Represen- tative Schall? Did he never hear of Marion and the d5tin guisred occu- pant of its famous front porch? Does he not know that the next occupant of th@ White House was elected by ono of the biggest votes in the his- tory of the country on a platform not knowing what he would, or wanted. to do? ;. -.-
 Has5the, gentleman from Minnesota failed to note that at the present time there Is a procession of dis.n- guished gentlemen passing through Marion and stopping long enough to give a little aid to the President-elect in h.s search for an opinion?
 What then does he mean by trying to pass a law to oblige a. Republican candidate to tell what he wants to do? Does he not know that it is only the Democrats who know what they are trying to do and that the Repub- licans are still trying to find out what they want to try to accomplish

seek to achieve independence.
 If it is war and it is being car ried on afier the fashion and meth ea Of war, 1t would seem to be pol all of those facts by which the Sim Fein government exhibits It's author ity.
 It is only if there is not a war that 1t can be regarded as policy to min imize these acts. or to say that they do not occur.
 This lack of unity is rather clearly exhibited in the attitude which is taken over the so-caned Union Club demonstration. This demonstration was of the same nature as multi pHcity of dem monStrations which were pictured by the militant women of Great Britain, and in lesser degree by the militant suffragists of Amer ! ica during the war.
 The purpose of the women was to advertise to the world that they were determined to do away with what ! then regarded as injustice. There were so many advertisements of the de- termined will Of the leadership of the women to secure feminine equality I The women who did these things understood perfectly what the mo- i tive was, and all the adherents ot l this leadership understood and mag nifed what had been done for the purpose of getting the maximum val l ue out of it.
 If the Union Club demonstration was reasoned and considered prop osition, it is, in the light of curren events understandable, and the use to be made of it is understandable
 But it is difficult to see how a prof 1 can be gained from such demonstra | tions if they are subsequently repu
 diated.
 At this time MT. De Valera need
 all the support he can get. It cart
 not profit his leadership that the wis dom of what is done under it 'shal be disputed or scantily supported b. thosa of Irish birth. Let the American people understand what is going ol and why.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Much has been heard of the Lon don-to-PaIis air service and many nave wondered at the good fortune that has followed it. It's record ha now been broken, however. for inc other afternoon one of the giant Had iey-Pase machines had no sooner started up from it's aerodrome than 1t came crashing down again. ninping four persons beneath 1t, who ware burned to a crisp before help could reach them. It would seem that such an unfortunate accident would shill. Iof tune at least, the enthusiasm nei by air. The fascination for this method of travel is very great for some in spite of the possibility of mlshaps and there may be more than enough passengers offered for each trip.
 No field of forgery has been more exploited, and very often with great financial success, than that of fak- ing the painting of old masters. Here tofore there has been no certain means of determining positively whether certain pictures were, or were not, genuine. At best it was the guess Of some man who had a large knowledge of pictures and old mas ters. Now comes modern science to
 the aid of the picture collector and
 by the use of the X-ray tells just
 how many times a certain canvass has
 been painted over. It IS also said td be possible by this means to deter mine the sort of paint and glaze used and in this way fix the date of the work. If applied to some of the works now holding honored positions
 in galleries surprises might result. '
 One of the possible outcomes of
 the recent election is the breaking up of the "Sond South" four years from now. This possibility is pre- dicted by Republicans on the strength of their carrying Tennessee. Time alone will tell whether the defectior ] of this state is the entering wedge | they think it or not. It is only req. Sonable to assume that the breakins | up Of the Solid South" will come | before long any way, for there is nc | more reason for having a solid South

A Plea For Unity

- In this critical period in the Irish struggle for independence, it becomes necessary to the friends of that move ment to seek the utmost attainahle unity-unity of belief, unity of prop agandas and unity of action.
 [ is true that no movement ever did exist which commanded complete a adherence of all it's friends. The goal to be sought is. only the maximum that can be attained.
 E It is true that no movement ever established which is represented in America by President De Valera, an able and conscientious man who has made hosts of friends for his cause since he came.
 President De Valera says that the 2 in Ireland, that a republic has been established there, that this re- publican government is the actau1ly governing force in Ireland that the people are rendering obedience to its commands. and that the British gov ernment is merely an armed inter loper whose forces are upon Irish soil without any authority or legal ity.
 The government of which De Val era is the head has declared war upon Great Britain and is levying war by certain acts of violence di- rected against persons iP the British service and against the property of | rarently admits this state Of war, and operating through forces of the Brit
 islI crown has committel reprisals
 against the life of the Irish repub-
 licans and against the property of the
 Irish people. There being a state ot
 war, it naturally follows that there
 are killings and that there is des. l truction of property, and in this war
 as in every war, the state of the com
 bat tends to be measured in terms l of these acts.
 Yet, as the thought of MT. De
 Valera's adherents in America i: | scrutinized, there is discovered
 marked lack of unity of understand ! ing as to what the Sim Fein gov.
 ernment is doing, as to what its pur. poses are.
 l One group finds it policy to publish l and magnify the acts of war whicl are committed by the forces of thu

 Frightened by the bloodshed he had witnessed, the man who had chine up to Beach street police sta tton shortly before noon and surren- dered himself. He was immediately taken under severe examination at the hands of half a dozen detectives.
 The police later arrested two men and woman in connection with the killing of Lieut.. Horton. The arrests followed discovery in the Bronx of a bullet ridd1ed automobile in which the bandits are believed to have fled after holding up an elevator man and on the running board of which Horton met his death in a grim re- vo1ver duel while trying to arrest the gang.

A CABINET THAT
 NEVER WAS

~ OMETIMES NEVER, some o times long after, we discover how near we were at some certain point to greatness, and then, the ways veering, the opportunity was never realized. Those interested in might have beens" will find food for speculation in the knowledge that back in 1916 Bridgeport was headed straight toward distinction and that by the sudden death of one man her hopes were dashed to pieces.
 That one man was Theodore Roose- welt and what might have poss1oIy put Bridgeport in a conspicuous place on the map is told in John J. Leary, Jr.'s Talks with T. R.
 "Once in a retrospective mood" he says, Colonel Roosevelt talked of the Cabinet he would have named had he returned to the White House on March 1, 1917.
 "I should said he, have made Perkins, Secretary of the Treasury or of Commerce. He would have beer entitled to something and could be an extremely valuable man in either place.
 CT should have made John King of Connecticut, Postmaster General
 "'Of course there is only one mar for Secretary of War-Generai Goe thals. I should have made Raymont Robbins. of Illinois, Secretary of La bor, and Meyer Lssner, Secretary O the Interior. That would be a well balanced and highly efficient organ ization.'

 It looks as though Canada had stolen a march on the United States in one particular. While our speedy Congress was talking about a tariff on Canadian wheat, of thirty cents a bushel Canadian holders of wheat sent at least forty-five million bushels of it across the line.
