Thedford's Black-Draught Highly
Recommended by a Tennessee
Grocer for Troubles Re-
sulting from Torpid
Liver.

East Nashville, Tenn The effic-
iency of Thedford's Black-Draught, the
genuine, herb, liver medicine, is
vouched for by Mr.. W. N. Parsons,
grocer of this city. "It is without
doubt the best liver medicine, and I
don't believe could get along without
It. take 1t for sour stomach, head
ache, bad liver, indigestion, and all
other troubles that are the result of
O torpid liver.

It"
Many other men and women through
out the country have found Black
Draught Just as Mr. Parsons describes
valuable in regulating the liver to
its normal functions, and In cleansing
the bowels Of impurities.

cine is the original and only genuine.

The Volstead Irrisant
To the, Editor of The Tr;hp,o

10 the, Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial entitled .The
Lesson to the Republicans" is certainly
worthy of earnest consideration by all
good Republicans who hold their party
IN esteem, but you do not emphasize
with sufficient strength the main cause
which has led up to tho disastrous re.
suit of the election.
IN my humble opinion. the obnoxious
Voistead act was the principal cause
for the success of the Democrats, who
nave taken advantage of the prevailing
conditions by spreading the impression
that they are strongly in favor OF
either g repeal or q modification of the
law. 1t wes that device which at
tracted the votes of Oil foreign born
citizens as we'll as of practically all
working people. including clerks, FAC,
tory or mill workers, mechanics
miners. laborers, small shop keepers
and Of u large percentages Of pro-
fessional men and women.

wrenched from millions of people their
right to use mild and pleasurable

Treacherous Memories

Democratic editors and Congress
men who clamor for the defeat Of
the shipping bill have treacherous
memories. The bill represents an eff
fort to liquidate a rash government
venture President Harding wants
to extricate the Treasury from a.
! situation in which it is losing many
millions a month on shipping enter
prises. He is anxious to liquidate q
{ costly cxperiment-to be rid Of q
white elephant left Oh his doorstep.
. Who left the white elephant there?
That is what these hasty partisan
critics forget. The whole theory and
program Of government ownership
and operation of merchant ships
came down from Woodrow Wilson.
! They are not even of war origin.
They antedate the war. Mr.. Wilson
took office with a firm determination
TO commit the United States to ship
owning and operating. He dreamed
on merchant marine which would
be first cousin to the navy. After
three years Of unrenlitting effort he
brought Congress to point at which
1t was willing to pass legislation ere
| ating Shipping Board and appro-
priating $50,000,000 for the govern
ment's uses as high seas builder,
owner and operator.
The Democratic party in Congress
| supported these pre-war shipping
measures-1nore sweeping than any
winch the present Administration
has In view. Why has the wisdom
/ OF that day turned to folly? In his
message to Congress of December,
1914, the President gave five reasons
why the United States should 90 out
and get for itself an ocean-carryine
merchant fleet, These reasons were
! accepted as sound by the Democratic
maJorities in the House and the SEN
@NS' w iAoI S]sCuSS CAN Il DeInOCraJlc
Representative or Senator who voted
for the Wilson shipping legislation
have for refusing the minor relief
which President Harding now wants
to give to privately owned ships in
order to stop the enormous operating
losses to the government?
We have surplus fleet, created
by the war and by Democratic states
manship. Something must be done
TO end an unproitable semi-monop-
oily, eating deeper and deeper into
the Treasury. Mr.. Harding offers
one plan of reorganization. II thew
reject it the Democrats in Congress-
owe the country an alternative res
cue project. They should be ashamed
to say simply. eve built the fleets
OF ships which now are rusting at
anchor Or which the government is
running at loss. Yet we have
nothing better to suggest than scrap
ping them or sinking them, taking a
total loss on our $4,000, 900, 900 war
marine investment"

fragrant Abuse of Power

In the unwarranted raid on push.
cart peddlers by the police in Will
liamsburg Thursday number OF
carts were deliberately upset and
their contents rendered worthless by
being tossed into the gutter. One Of
the peddlers, an elderly woman VINO
supports an invalid husband by
vending I.oticns, protested when her
little stock was thus ruined. She
vas Immediately arrested on q
charge of disorderIy conduct.
For some reason or other the ad-
nainistration appears to have singled
out the peddlers, the poorest and
most defenseless class Of merchants
in the city, for special persecution;
but up to the present time it has
permitted no such outrage as this.
1t is not likely that any investi-
cation into the affair will be con-
dueted, but the victims of this wan
ton destruction Of private property
certainly can find protection in the
courts, even If they fail to secure it
from the city authorities.

Our City of Dreadful Night

! That terror which stalked and
/ killed Anna Gallo, of South Dakota
and Bohemia, lost in New York, Is
not reserved for aliens who cannot
speak our language. 1t does not kill
swiftly; usually it never quite
succeeds in killing all those lonely
! American adventurers who come to
New York from village or valley or
wheat field OF mine and who fail.
for one reason or another, TO con
quer the city Of their desire. Ii
does grip them and shake thei1
| confidence and blight their hopes
and kill their ambition. There ia
nothing more terrible--perhaps
there never has been anything more
terrible--than the bleakness and
loneliness Of q great, modern, teeln-
ing city.
If q city is full of friends and you
have been born and brought up III
ct, so that every corner has a mem-
ory. nothing can bo more friendly.
That clutch at your heart that New
York's pile of towers oxerts when
you first spy 1t from the Narrows
on q homeward-b bound ship is all
warmth and affection. A thorough
going New Yorker can find almost
as much thrill by merely going to
New Jersey and returning on a.
ferryboat in those hours of early
evening when every window is a
twinhing star and tho whole mass
Of downtown New York is a blaze
of fireflies. When the city is your
own home town its darkest, deep.
est canyons are as friendly as for
est roadway and strangers faces as
smiling as the gayest shop windows.
1t is all question Of point OF
view. To the failing outsider, die.-
ing on delicatessen and reveling at
soda fountains, scraping acquaint-
ances and no friends, hunting JOB
only to lose it, every crowd in
subway is a mob Of enemies push
ing him to the wall. Just as poor
Anna Gallo could not bear the blind
tenor of being alone III subway
mob, SO the buffeted stranger feels
that there is no place SO lonely as
New York. Nor Is there any un.
less you succeed in making it smile
at you and become your own home
town.

souris and asperse ourself with his
objurgation, "You low-brow burn!"
In the new bill of the Chauve-souris
there is an episode by the merry
Tchekov which we managed with little
difficulty to penetrate. This is called
"Khirorgic," or, in American, "The Den
tist" Those who are interested II

will find it most informative, for it is
Eepiete with explicit detail, illustrst,
ing primitive dental surgery as prac
ticed in the remoter soviets. Mr.
Selams, as rustic priest, brings &
belligerent bicuspid to town to be re-
moved by Mr.. Dslmatov, as an un.
skilled country dentist. The pro-
eeedings which follow have many of
tho amusing obscenities common to
tooth and gum troubles in rural Rus
sia and elsewhere. 1t is pleasing
folk-fragment, full of news, observa-
tion and comic squalor, and as excel
lent job in human misery as Mr..
Tchekoy ever performed, to say moth
ing Of Gogol or Gorky. To the more
praiseworthy playgoers 1t will be as
funny as those similar scenes in Mr..
ziegfeid's Follies which depicted the
humors OF osteopathy and other cura-
tive sciences.
As any rate, the Chauve-Souris re-
mains the happiest theater In New
York, SO far as Its audiences are con-
cerned. II gives It's patrons in the

The Voseless Women of France

| Any American who has ever loafeC
! his way through q season at a Paris
cafe can explain why the demand fot
woman suffrage comes SO belatedly
in France. There is Monsieur, who
is the titular head of the establish.
ment, greeting, bcstirying, aiding.
explaining, fetching, opening. He is
q dignified and responsible person
age in the community, but not one
whit more dignified or impressiv
than Madame, who is tending bar
with equal distinction and inciden-
tally engaging in conversation a
dozen persons at one and the same
moment while finding her sure
fingered way amid her scores OF bot
ties. Mademoiselle Is making change
at the caisse, of course. What is
plain TO any observer is the quite
equal partnership in business affairs
between husband and wife.
What is true Of cafe is true of
every small bourgeois family that
runs shop or a hotel---and about
this small bourgeoisie is the largest
part Of French life nodded. In
altered terms the same point of view
prevails through most French life.
In that extremely sticky unit, the
French family, group FAR more
closely compounded than Is our
American counterpart, the man is
the nominal head, but the wife
shares in the family fortunes to
far greater extent than The average
American wife.
AS net result the French woman
has achieved a sort of economic part
nership which Is anything but inde-
but which is an exceed
ingly sound basis for universe in
which there are males and females.
1t is in the independence Of un-
married women that America leads
though the war has necessarily
altered conditions in France in the
direction Of greater liberty. There
will probably be q gradual gain in
sentiment for equal suffrage in
France. But it will be slow in COM
ing, for in the practical essentials of
equality French women have already
won items Of far more Importance
than that real but as yet circum-
scrlbed equality which American
women can now boast.

Too Much Secrecy

Speaking for Himself

As was to be expected, Governor.
eject Smith has announced that lac
has an open mind on transit and
purposes to study the subject care
fully and to avail himself of the as
sistance Of intelligent citizens before
he adopts any course of action.
This obviously is notice to Mayor
ygyian and Comptroller Craig that
their assumption that the Governor
Immediately will give into their
hands the settlement OF the transit
question was triie hasty. Mr..
smith is not III the habit Of permit
ting other people to speak for him,
particularly people of the caliber of
.Ar. Hylan and Mr. Craig.
When he takes up the study of
transit he will be certain to discover
that the Mayor of New York City
knows very little about it. The only
solution which has thus far come
from the City Hall IS plan the exc
sstion of which would cost the tax
fayers in the neighborhood OF a bill
ion dollars. Tnasmuch as the Tran
sit Commission plan will cost less
than half as much, it is hardly 10 be
aredited that Mr.. Smith will throw
It aside at the behest of 'the double

Mn. Hylan is not the owner Of the

nounced, under contract with the
people to act as their servant. The
people are entitled to know what
is going OH In their city, whether or
not it throws favorable light upon
Mr.. Hylan's conduct of office. Sc

given the irasipid books "for little

have been flooded periodically. If
the premises were true the conclu
sion might be sound, but as a mat
ter OF fact the new books have not
succeeded in crowding out the old.
The demand for new editions of the
oldtimers seems greater than ever.
There have been many books or

But Grimm and Andersen will stand
by themselves. There have been in

The same is true OF "Tom Sawyer"
and "Huckleberry Finn"
But where the youngsters have
the advantage Of their elders is in
the matter of illustrated editions.
