nERHAPS Police Court magistrates and the
public in general have judged unjustly many
excellent citizens. Gentlemen taken into Gus
tody OF the law while engaged in the most unusual
antics have pleaded. nevertheless, that they were
gultess of aiding in violations of the Volstead
law-that their condition not caused by alcohol
and that they wouldn't think OF drinking any Of the
vile stuff. Judges have smiled they imposed SEN
tence.
Now comes a famous physician, DIR. Leonard
G. Roundtree of Rochester. Mimi. with the asser-
tion that it is possible to get drunk plain water
1t is only necessary to drink enough to get all
the disagreeable sensations least of prolonged
period of intoxication.
The trouble has been that the average human
teing could not swallow sufficient quantities. But
DIR. Roundtree has utilized extract taken from
one OF the small ductess glands at the bottom OF
the brain to do away with this difficulty. BY using
this nostrum the individual keep on drinking
until he is drunk to raise the cup to his lips.
d.. Roundtrees experiences doubtless will
prove valuable to physicians We presume that he
is interested in the matter from the scientific stand
point alone But if it possible for him to pro-
duce large quantities OF this from the duct
less glands why he should not
reap a large fortune And in way would the
letter of Mr.. Volsteads statute be violated
Necessity is the mother of invention. Per
haps the Minnesota physician is pioneer in a
new era-a time in which bootleggers will charge
ten dollars quart for plain water
Perhaps, also the old-time country physician
was wiser than he knew One of his favorite bits
of advice that the patient whose ailment he
could not exactly diagnose drink prodigious guam
titles OF water. 1t may be that he understood the
practice before DIR. Roundtree evolved the theory.

Peaceful Pension Building.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Why do people generally associate
the word war" with the idea of
strife? Ny own observation has been
that soldiers are Gas a rule) the most
peaceful people on earth - except
when engaged in battle. They do all
their fighting on the field. When you
meet up with a fussy, nagging man,
he is usually some cranky civilian
These remarks are inspired by the
wave of alarm that spread through
the Pension Building when IT was an
nounced that the War Department
had taken charge the very word
war was used to 'conjure" with.
We were even informed that. IL a mere
civilian was seen putting his hat on
a minute too soon, the Secretary of
War might be "gum-shoeing" around
of course said Secretary has MOTH
ing else to do-attending to strikes,
etc. II just nothing compared to q
clerk putting on his hat minute too
soon.
And those uniformed guards with
brass buttons sent shivers down our
spines; they were supposed to carry
arms for shooting US down X We got
drink Of water.
But in actual fact. they are all as
peaceful as lambs and are allowed
to occasionally gambol about the
green Meanwhile. our department
oficials are having the times Of their
lives just attending to affairs OF
state. for no longer do they need to
chase the elusive clerk to see IL he
spits on the floor. All this IL now
under thu eve Of that fierce War De-
partment. HINDA BURKE.

at the same time organized the Poles

time on until the armistice was
signed he spent practically all his

all his nights on sleepers going be-

heart and the brain Of the great Po-
lish movement which sent an army of
Poles to France in the fall of 1918 in
time to do some notable fighting in
the last months of the war. Directly
the armistice was signed he STARTED

Meaning of Anarchist.
To the Editor. The Washington Herald;

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Your editorial on cathal Brugha.
OF July IS. was a splendid philo-
sophical grasp of the psychology
Of the man and the Irish situation.
In your editorial of July II en-
titled Treatment Of Prisoners you
did not exercise the same breadth
OF concept.
This must be due to the mis-
understanding worked up against
our politicals.
Your first error is in designating
Bouvet as a cracked Drained an
archist. That he was cracked
Drained might be readily admitted
but that he was an anarchist is
open to grave doubts. II a man
is a real anarchist he would no,
sacrifice himself. not even as an
assassin for liberty. He might, il
he was what is called a commun.
ist-anarchist. but a communist i.
not an anarchist at all. as one mus,
be an individualist to be an an
archist, and our capitalist pro-
moters are the finest anarchists in
the world.
Anarchist is bourgeois. and labor
anarchism is joke. The labor
editor who decries capitalism would
probably have been a slave with
his masters name on it but for the
development of capitalism.
You are in error when you say:
That most of the political prison
ers now confined in the L. S. would
resent the demand that they labor
in order to exist" Tn Oklahoms
cotton raiser, Mennonite farmers
and lumberjacks are quite used to
labor.
High-salaried jobs are already
pre-empted and craft unions toe
selfish with their laUor. as the in
itiation fees and dues to many
unions are prohibitive to all but a
few of the most fortunate. and &C
try to labor without the sanction
OF the union might result disas.
trously: as in Herrin.
One or more OF the prisoners are
editors and clergymen and Otter
labor as hard as other forms OF
employment.
None of our political prisoners
was of the type and kind OF Bouve'
but many were OF the type OF
Cathal Brugha in so far as beins
dreamers of a more perfect society
on the morrow, others were simply
pacihsts who were opposed to al
and any forms OF violence.
