Why Itch and Burn
 With Skin Diseases:

dition of the blood. They come from a colony of tiny germs which get into the blood and multiply by the million. Do not expect to be cured of any form of skin disease by the use of lotions, salves, ointments or other local treatment, as such remedies can net possibly reach the source of the trouble, which is the blood.
 When any of these symptoms ap- pear on any part of your body, you should take prompt steps to rid the blood of the germs which cause them. And the one remedy which has no equal as a blood cleanser is s. S. S., which is sold by druggists everywhere.
 Begin taking s. s. S. today, and write a complete history of your case to our Chief Medical Adviser. who, will give you special instructions without charge. Write at once to Medical Director, 613 Swift Laboratory At lanta, Ga.-Adv.

Sir: Allow me to express to you my

Pithy, timely, courageous, and, when
reeded, exceedingly independent. You
face the dangers attending the Republi
can party, and they are serious dangers.

inevitable disasters Mr.. Wilson's fatu-
Gus egoism was bringing on the world.

enough.) 1t was not always so with The

and now may have only onc-not
enough for tillage.
The peasants have food, but will
not accept worthless money, the only
thing the cities have to offer. So
horse costs 100000 rubles in Petro-
grad and cow half as much. Bread
is gao rubles a pound, beef $50
rubles and eggs 100 rubles apiece.
To live in Petrograd, 100000 rubles
a month are needed, while the max
imum wages are 5000 to 5000
month.
What Russia really thinks is
shown by the fact that the old Cars
rubles have ten times more value
than Lenine's rubles. 1t is also
shown by the fact that although pri-
vate property in the cities is abol-
ished, houses and lots daily sell. The
buyers believe private ownership
will be restored and that the old
titles will revive. Three-fourths of
the factories of Russia have been
"nationalized," and they produce
about 80 per cent or what they did.
Labor unions have been suppressed,
hours of labor increased, the Satur-
cay half-holiday abolished, and men
are driven to work by bayonets. De-
Tending the new slavery, Trotzky
says: "The leading classes of labor
have the right to force upon the
other undeveloped portions of the
labor masses the laws of labor duty"
When political freedom was slain in
Russia every other kind of freedom
quickly went to companion graves.
Does Steadman know the facts as
to Belgium and Russia? He does.
Do other Socialists? They do. Yet
they mechanically keep up their old
clatter and refuse to recognize that
the waging of a class war involves
all in misery-that the only way to
promote material welfare is for the
partners in production to cooperate,
each respecting the function of the
other.

orable obstinacy Of Mr.. Wilson. If
the American people are in favor of
our entrance, not into some nebulous
league of the future, but into a league
wherein the greater number of the
nations of the world are already asso-
ciated, the chances of his election are
food for the most serious thought by
every one who has more faith in the
Republican than in the Democratic
party. And when we come down to the
slst OF the Vatter, this question of the
'eague is one of an attitude toward the
racial life. If. conscious of the sell
hshness permeating ourselves and
others, of the prejudices and enmities
among nations, of the immediate COM
mercial benefit of egocentric individual
and national action, we shrug our men,
tai shoulders at such phrases as "the
brotherhood Of man" and 1.-The progress
of mankind" why, that is one wav of
looking at the scheme Of things.

Let Cox Speak Out

We gladly commend to our readers
the interesting letter of Mr.. Hellman
on the league, which we print in an
other column. The criticism of his
position with respect to the two can
didates seems to US plain.
Does not Mr.. Holman sign in
favor of Governor Cox a blank check
that he is unwilling to sign in favor
of Senator Harding? The two can.
didates do not seem judged by
common standard. Governor Cox is
tolerantly allowed to leave to the
future a revelation of his exact pol
icy, while Senator Harding is sus-
pected because he asks a similar
privilege. If Governor Cox may de-
fer statement Of his precise course,
why may not Senator Harding do
the same?
Senator Harding has voted twice
for league entry with the Lodge
reservations. Would Governor Cox,
breaking with the President, have
voted III the Senate for ratification
on this basis? No one certainly
knows. The Governor stands on the
San Francisco platform, one part of
which indorses the Presidents atti-
tude. This implies, of course, that
4
the Governor would rather not have
this country join the league than
have it go into it subject to the
Lodge reservations. On the record,
therefore, Senator Harding seems
more clearly peace Lacquer than
his opponent. We are not in the

Governor Allen Wins

Nobody seems to have taken the
opposition to Governor Allen in the
Kansas primaries very seriously,
and that opposition seems to have
f1ivvered quite according to expec-
tations. William Allen Whites
Henry has won the Republican NOM
ination in a romp.
That is as it should be, and the
moral for politicians and statesmen
is clear. Courage - real, two-fisted
courage to slam ahead and do what
seems to be right for the public, any
special class to the contrary not
withstanding--is the quality least
used in political life. Yet it is un-
questionably the surest road to pop
ular approval. The hedger and
trimmer and compromiser and mid
dle-of-theroad man may win now
and then in an off year when the
competition is not keen. He will be
beaten nine times out of ten by the
man who takes chance and speaks
and does what he thinks is right.
The Kansas Industrial Court was
devised by Governor Allen to meet a
crying emergency. 1t has func-
toned successfully and we'll. It's
constitutionality is still to be passed
upon by the courts. Doubtless it is
far from perfect. No pioneer stat
ute ever is perfect. But in denying
the right to strike to labor engaged
in industries directly and imme-
diately touching the lives and health
and safety of the general public it
states fundamental truth that in
some form or other is certain to be-
come basis of industrial relations
in this country. Governor Allen de-
serves the highest credit for blazing
this new trail, and it is good to know
that the Republicans of Kansas ap-
preciate him.

Our Miscast Mayor

It's small matter for His Honor
the Mayor to be overruled by JUS
tice Of the Supreme Court, and we
do not imagine Mr.. Hylan will be
supremely downcast by Justice Faw-
cett's injunction restoring the re-
porter Of "The Standard Union" to
his seat at the sessions of the Board
Of Estimate. His Honor is used to
humping his nose against fate. He
can always smile happily, no matter
how hard the collision.
What occurs to US is that there
has been mistake in estimating the
qualities and aptitudes OF Mr..
Hylan. Enthusiastic critics have
tossed their caps in The air and
boosted without reservation that His
Honor was the worst Mayor in the
world. We cannot agree with this
estimate. We think Mr.. Hylan is an
excellent Mayor-only, not for New
York. Not, indeed, for any city run
upon these new-fangled principles
involving charter and courts and
public rights and corporations and
all such novel contraptions.
But Mr. Hylan would make an ex-
cellent Mayor for some nice little
island that belonged to nobody and
that he could rule just as his ebul-
lent heart dictated. Or, better yet,
let him be created king of some
amiable village, as was the famous
King of Yvetot. In such a spot he
could order all the buses he yearned
for-drive them himself if inclina-
ton moved. Before his scepter such
menals as reporters would shudder
and cringe. (They could be behead-
ed in serious cases, though we are
sure that His Majesty's kindly heart
would stop short Of such drastic
measures.) Courts could look at
the king, but they could not enjoin
nm. NO silly charter would fetter
his rowing will. Fleets of yachts
and f1ivvers flying the royal banner
would report every morning for in,
structions.
His Honor is simply miscast in
this view, and the only task that re-
mains is to find a suitable island or
an Yvetot. The city could afford to
invest a handsome sum in hiring
such a substitute. We hope that the
carping critics will abandon their
unfounded faut-fnding and assist
in promoting Mr.. Hylan to just the
right little kingship that he would
fill so blandly and regally.
