Vice Crusades Unnecessary.

The Rock Island county board mas been
asked by the May grand jury to appropriate
funds to defray the expenses of crusade
against vice in the county. The request was
made at the suggestion of the states attorney.
There is no need of special appropriations to
pay for the proper policing of Rock Island
county. Public vice prevails only when and
where it is sanctioned by somebody in official
authority, and if the states attorney OF Rock
Island county has in his possession information
it is indicated he has received from members of
the grand jury he has the power and author
ity to demand action the part OF the police
officers in the communities where the offenses
exist fIt is sheer childishness to be talking
crusades. with special Investigators and large
financial outlay, when to obtain relief all that
is necessary is for officials TO do their simple
duty and they usually perform that duty to the
extent that the people wish them to. IN other
words. citizens generally get the kind of police
enforcement they demand.

More Counterfeit Labels.

Ontario, Canada, has begun enforcing spe-
cial act of the Legislature that makes it Illegal
to transport liquor over highways Thus an
other big source of liquor supply for the United
States is suddenly shut off. Liquor for export
can only be shipped by railroad and lake boats.
Up to now bootleggers loaded a truck with
liquor and wandered along Ontario country
roads until they found unguarded point
where their cargo could be slipped across the
border into the United States. The new legis-
Iation prohibits this-and Ontario has pecul-
lar custom of enforcing its laws. Thus another
of the rivers flowing into the Volsteadi desert
dries up at its source. More counterfeit Can
adian and Scotch whisky labels will be needed
by American bootleggers.

Balloon Race Proves Nothing.

y The balloon inflated with hot air or gas
was useful in its day and the world owes to its
inventors and operators The impetus that re-
suited in the modern airship But ii never was
a dependable or safe vehicle for transportation
in its original undirigible form. 1t has been
succeeded, for all practical purposes, by the
engine-driven dirigible balloon and airplane
While these have not solved all the problems
relating to the safe navigation of the air they
are on their way 10 the solution of those prob
lens, while the old-fashiored balloon, having
served its purpose a pioneer, lapses into the
condition of mere toy that has lost all it's
novelty and retains only its element of danger
and of temptation to men who wish to do
stunts for, their own sake. The spirit of al
venture is an admirable thing, as it leads the
adventures somewhere. points the world
to q wider field of discovery and endeavor
While the adventures of the aeronauts in the
recent national balloon al Milwaukee
made thrilling reading in the newspapers, the
thing itself an anachronsm. The people
who know that such things can be DONE and
have been done for over hundred years, and
to whom balloon ascension is an old story
cannot help wondering just why the exhibition
was staged.

shaped gasoline torch, the old street faker dis
penses wa-Wa, the remedy whose formula ne
claimed to have procured while captye
among Sioux Indians. When interest in 80 per
cent alcohol strength waned Monty brought
forth razors, combination handy tools, eight
handkerchiefs for a quarter-and the Attie
giant prize packet that contained everything
under the sun, especially trick ring for
squirting ferfume in friends eye. Usually
street faker came regularly once year. but
rarely twice to the same town, especially when
the Chinese peach trees he left behind turned
ont to be dogwood or blackhaws.
The street faker flourished before the days
of scientific craftsmanship, of which he was the
scientific discoverer; and many captain OF
industry owes much of his selling ability to
boyhood evenings spent listening under the
gasoline torch. To gather the crowd together
and hold it when it grew restless and showed
signs OF drifting away there was black face
entertainer who told the joke about the mule
breaking its leg when it kicked his mother-in-
law in the jaw The minstrel's favorite song
was MY Gals High Born Lady"
Once in a while, these days, you see Mon
tague Silver and his black face entertainer
passing out their plumber from wagon. But
mostly the street faker does business from a
small stand, cramped in a business district
nook or side street gutter. The game isn't
what it used to be- The street takers had too
much business ability to continue on a small
scale; they branched out. Then, too, it's hard
to get a street crowd together in these days
when pedestrians have nearly all taken to
autos, few walking. The street faker is
vanishing into a memory, where he stands out
clear and conspicuous, enticing, likeable, mon
ument to the simple pleasures and thrills of
days when Bryan a young man and his
champions were vowing not to get their hair
cut until he entered the White house as presi-
dent.

The Farmer and the City Trespasser.

In driving through the country you see
signs warning against trespassng You Won
der why the farmer has posted such signs.
He must think that folks from the city are
going to steal his chickens and his hogs and
carry off some of his crops You are wrong.
The farmer has had some unpleasant and I'M
profitable experiences with people from the
cities. They have invaded his property with
out permission, have hunted game that he has
been trying to protect, and have been known to
kill fowls and stock, perhaps by accident but
killed them just the same. In driving along the
country roads you see dead chickens, the toll
of the auto marksman, the fellow who thinks
it great sport to run down an inoffensive bird
that is trying to cross the road.
The farmer is the best of neighbors. He
wants to be friendly with the folks from the
city, but the latter have been imposing upon
him, and have taken a mile when they have
been allowed a foot You have your yard
in the city. You keep it in the best condi-
ton you know how You'd think it strange if
a crowd of people took possession of your lawn
some Sunday. and proceeded to stage party
there. wouldn't you, without even asking per-
mission? That's what people from the
cities do in the country every Sunday and
sometimes they meet with cold receptions as
they deserve to. The next time you plan a day
in the country make it a point to interview
the owner of the premises you would like to
occupy for outing. You will find the farmer
in most instances not unwilling to accommo-
date you if you agree not TO be destructive He
takes the same pride in the upkeep of his farm
you do of your home in the city.
And don't think you have the right to hunt
on the farmers premises without his consent
either. You are running chances when you do
this, and you deserve to~be prosecuted, as you
probably will be if you are caught by the
owner.

Passing of an American Institution.

One of the great American institutions that
Is in danger of becoming extinct is the old
time street faker, truly Yankee product
as apple pie, baseball the circus and black
face Ministries. Old-timers may have noticed
something lacking this spring, and not been
sure just what it What they miss is the
street faker. Montague Silver, greatest street
man west of the Alleghenies and typical of his
profession, rises in memory.

Colleges Raising Standards.

Most of the colleges and universities over
shortage of instructors The condition has
become serious that it is interfering with the
successful prosecution of the work of educa-
ton. Managers and faculties of these institu-
lions are seeking solution of their problems.
Heretofore the colleges have been in compe-
limit the number of students to the capacity of
the schools without doing injury to those who
aspire to higher things in the way of prepara-
ton for the duties of life. The device most oft
en- considered has been the perfectly legitimate
one of raising standards of admission and
showing greater sternness in requirements of
performance after admission, but this may be
pushed to the length of injustice both to the
students and TO the preparatory schools.
However, many of the colleges would be the
better for eliminating the unfit. There are
many-students who are in college either against
have lot of fun and merely to study enough
to get by in order 10 continue an existence of
pleasure and self indulgence. These are vast
ing their own time well as that of their
teachers and can be eliminated with profit to
both themselves and their alma matters Every
facility should be offered to the young man or
woman who is earnestly pursuing course of
study to the upbuilding of character and prep
aration for the serious business of life No
such facilities should be wasted on the unde-
serving.

Focal Infection of Joints.

In a report giving the statistics
in some All cases of chronic infec-

with the focal infection theory of

of them are of insidious or gradual
onset with no fever.
The focus of infection response

tubes in IL cases, bronchi in five
cases, middle. ear in one case, ap-
pendiX in one case, nasal sinus in
IL cases, and so on, showing that
chronic joint trouble may be caus-
ed by many foci other than infect
ed tonsils or bad teeth. Failure to
discover or recognize the real To-
Gus of infection at the beginning
was illustrated in some of these
cases. DR.. Billings mentions the
cases of two men of middle age
whose joint trouble was associated
with lame muscles and whose sep
tic foci (tonsils and some APPEAL
