THE PEssIMISTS

The recent winter was the best that ever struck
the Middle West. The skies were blue as skies
of May, the shining every day. the
breezes had the scent of spring, and summer
birds came back to sing. And men of wisdom
said: Great Scott! This kind OF winter hits the
spot so let cast all fears aside. and take the
gifts the gods provide 1t may be we will have
to pay for every bright and sunny day, but while
the sunny days are here, Wen sing and dance
and never fear" But there grcuches ev-
erywhere, and they denounced the bamy air.
I'VE need cold weather now" they said with
storm clouds looming overhead; need all
kinds of snow and sleet, we need blizzard and
repeat This kind of winter is a flaw, slip i'll
natures ancient law; and when she makes so
bad break, she'll even things and no mistake.
There'll be a blizzard in the spring, and it will
riddle everything; the fruit will wilt in winters
breath, the bugs that should have died the death
will eat the corn and hay and oats. and bear off
our collective goats" And thus the robe of gloom
is by fellows who were made to mourn;
they always miss the bliss and fun of baskng in
the genial sun .,

GOING TOO FAR

Prohibition is justihable, if at all, only in its
purpose TO prevent The injurious use of alcoholic
drinks. 1t assumes that the only way to prevent
its excessive use is to stop all its use as bev-
erage. But abolshng beverage is one thing,
and stepping into the realm of materia mcdicae
and saying that physicians shall not prescribe this
or that is an entirely different matter
The bill introduced to amend the Volstead
act by prohibiting beer. even on physicians pre-
scriptions, apparently takes for granted the uni
versal depravity Of our people, including. of
course, physicians and patients The exceptions
to that rule, it seems to assume are so rare that
they are not worth considering.
If the American people are as bad as this act
would make them out TO be- they might as we'll
drink themselves out of their moral and intel
lectual misery and have done with it, If they
are not so bad--and VIC rather incline to the sec
ond alternative they should clean out the
Augean stable al Washington by chasing there
from everything which sounds Ike It's cars might
be over seven inches long.

SUCCESS

(56atte Post-Intelligencer
We gather the gold and store it.
And The whisper is heard, Success
Bnt tell me, We cold white sleepers
Is that achievement the best?
We struggle for power and win it,
Bat 10, like fleeing breath,
Il is lost in the realms of silence,
Whose ruler and king is death.
The glory is most in the doing,
And not in the trophy that's Won;
The house that is built in the shadows
May shine in the rays Of the sun,
Perhaps in the ultimate judgment
The effort alone will avail;
Carry on, weary, exhausted pilgrim
The faint-hearted only will fail.

a sheriff, should oRiciate at hanging or delegate

NAPOLEON VS.. CHRIST

A resolution approving national disarmament
introduced In the Baptist convention at Chatta-
ncoga, referred to a committee, but will prob
ably pass the convention later in its session. 1t
ought to pass Unless the religious bodies of this
country go strongly on record against milarism
the spirit will become SO firmly entrenched
that nothing on earth can stop it. Already, it con-
stltues the greatest menace that ever confronted
civilization America. alone, of all the great ma
tons, is in position to take the lead Instead of
doing SC, however, it is joining with the military
cligarchics Of Europe and lending its aid and CON-
fort to the indefinite prolongation of the present
state of virtual war. 1t is the spirit of Napoleon
against the spirit of Christ, and it may as we'll be
conceded that the anniversary of Napoleon's death
was the occasion of a greater demonstration than
the Prince Of Peace has received in good many
years.

GEORGIA SUFFERS FROM THIS

THE Observer, Commerce, Gao
One of the most reprehersble habits we have,
people in city, county, state and nation,
is habit of forming opinions of public
men during heated political campaigns Too
often they are formed from ex parte statements of
rival aspirants for office or from publications in
partisan or biased papers Whether favorable or
hostile such opinions rarely do justice TO the
parties Observation-Disclosures Journal.
Lots of voters would rather hear lies told on
a candidate than to learn OF his merits Preju-
dice appeals to many voters and it encourages
demagogues to practice demagoguery.

DANGER FOUND IN
 DUST BY U. 5. PROBE

Washington, Oct. 15-Investiga- tions being conducted by the Federal Bureau of Mines have emphasized the fact that dusts of various types are some industries terrible explosions that produce great loss of life and
 property: In other trades they are responsible for a highly increased death rate from lung diseases. The fact that coal dust has tremen- dous explosive powers, once scoffed at by the veteran miner, is now dem- onstrated frequently by the bureau in Pa, near Pittsburgh. Pu1verfzed coal blown to the furnace through com
 pressed air lines. is an ideal fuel in cerain industries, but the bureau points out that clouds of dust releas- | ed from such pipes are as dangerous
 as a body of unconfined natural gas
 when liberated in close proximity to open flames or red-hot metal. Aluminium Dust ExpIodes. Aluminium dust has also been found | to be quite explosive, and several dis
 astrous explosions of this dust have | occurred in manufacturing establish
 menits. The dusts of various grains | have been found by the Department | of Agriculture tG be responsible for
 a number of severe explosions in flour
 mills and grain elevators. Hard rub | Der dust is also declared to be explo- sive.
 l The dust of rock containing free | S1llca, 1OunO In some metal mines Tn | the West, settling in the lungs of the
 miners, is responsible for a heavy an- | nuaI death rate from tuberculosis. l The Bureau of Mines found in an in- | veStigation of conditions in the Butte, | Montana, copper mining district, that l the tubercular death rate of Butte l miners was nearly thirteen times as great as that of residents of the State | of Michigan. Pulmonary diseases due l to rock dust among the miners of the 1 Joplin, Mo, lead and zinc district af- | fects probably as high 30 per cent. of the miners employed in certain 1 classes of mines. Remedial measures are being found by the introduction of better ventilation and through the | use of water in drilling and in the ore piles to prevent formation of a dust cloud in the air.
 Not all dusts are the enemies of mankind, however. The Bureau of Mines is encouraging the use in coal mines of barriers of certain rock dusts which, when jared by the ex- p1osion of coal dust. scatter and act
 as screen for the stoppage of the exploding coal dust. The dust waste
 from slate quarries, amounting to about 90 per cent. of the entire ma
 terial mined, has been found by the
 bureau to be peculiarly adapted to
 use as a filler in the making of as- phalt road surfaces.
