LONDON, Dec. l8.-Organized Ameri-
can labor must change its tactics before
it can ever expect to become real pow.
er in American politics. Ramsay Mac.
Donald, leader Of the powerful labor
party in the British Parliament, told the
United Press in an exclusive interview.
Parliamentary authority comparable
to that in the hands Of British labor to-
day can only be gained by breaking away
from the present policies of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor" Macdonald
said.
The system so long followed by labor
in the United States BY which the in
fluence Of labor was thrown to this or
that candidate, depending upon the con.
cessions that could be obtained is not
MacDonald's idea Of getting results.
Knit closely into the political fabric
OF the labor party, the industrials on
one hand and the iniellectuals on the
other, and 60 out after political power
by putting avowed labor candidates in
the field. Keep repeating this process
until success comes" That is Mac
Donalds advice TO American labor
Macdonald is firm believer in the
destiny of labor. Despite natural eau.
tion in the matter Of political prophe-
cies, he gives the present government
less than the average life of a British
Parliament. As to lis successor he points
out that labor is now the official oppo-
sition to His Majesty's government, as
represented by Premier. Bonar Law.
Macdonald points to the comparative
polls of the two major parties and draws
a broad Scotch conclusion. If, he rea-
sons. labor has been able to seriously
challenge the polling power of the estab.
lished Conservative party with its years
Of parliamentary leadership to bolster
IFS prestige, then labor. by vigorous seiz-
ure of lis opportunity to gain prestige
as the official opposition, will soon turn
the scale.

MEDICAL PROFESSION
CAN CLAIM SEVERAL
FAMOUS STATESMEN

By Consoiidsfei Press Assn. (CopyrsM 1927.
| WASHINGTON, Dec. l9.-Are the doc
tors about to displacc the lawyers as lead
ers in politics, diplomacy and public af.
fairs? Certainly there is decided trend
in that way and the barrisiers will have
to look after their laurels or the doctor:
will grab away some of the political
honoTs.
Doctor Clemenceau's visit helped to
focus attention on the latter day actiyi.
ties of the medicine men. and the recent
election also lent significance TO the
growing participation Of physicians in
the larger affairs of state and nation.
Clemenceau was 4 doctor long before
he was journalist or a statesman or a
Tiger. Medicine didn't intrigue him for
very long. although even now he likes to
talk with physicians and show his knowl.
edge of their language and their work.
In the diplomatic corps the most dis
tinguished representative of medicine is
Sir Auckland Ceddes. a doctor and the
British ambassador, Doctor Ceddes is
a distinguished physician and during the
recent cancer week. held here in Wash
ington. was one of the presiding officers
at the daily meetings as well as one of
the foremost spokesmen on the causes
and treatment of this malign disease.
In the cabinet of President Harding
the medical profession has a notable rep
resentative in DIR. Hubert Work, post
m3ster-general and past president of the
American Medical Association. Doctor
Works administration of affairs was so
good as assistant postmaster-general that
when viii Hays resigned TO 90 into the
movies, President Harding named the
ply sician who now heads the entire pos
tai service.
Now the Senate will have no less than
three doctors among lis members. Al
present there is but one, Senator W. S.
Bell. Of Deleware. When the new Con-
gress convenes he will be joined by DR..
Royal S Copeland of New York and by
DIR. Henrik Shipstead. of Minnesota.
Another distinguished physician high
in the government is DIR. Leonard Wood,
governor general of the Philippines.
Rather prominent in the affairs Of the
administration has been Doctor Sawyer.
Of Marion, Ohio. Not content with being
merely the White House physician, Doc.
tor Sawyer sought wider work in the
government and the President named him
as sort of general doctor to look after
the welfare Of the veterans Of the World
War.
No director Of the doctors prominent in
national affairs would be complete with
out the inclusion of Rear Admiral Cray

power behind the throne during the last
rwo years Of the Wilson administration.

practice of Europe; hence there is nothing this
country can say that will be easy listening for
Europe. Yet the United States. following its
own advice, is prosperous; while Europe, trav-
cling in the other direction, is not. Perhaps
the cynics are right and what Europe means
by cooperation is not good advice and moral
authority but benevolent acquiescence in Eur
ope's permanent production of The Road to

HAPPY DAY

Some day good farmers wife is going to
invite us out for breakfast, and if we can manage
to get up before milking time, we are going to
accept. Then gathered with that hearty happy
farmer family. we're going to show EN- all what
real hungry farm boy who has wandered
away a little can do to good farm sausage.
And we serve notice right now on that an
onymous farmers wife that she'll have TO spend
all her time in the kitchen, she and the hired
girl both. cooking sausage, and more sausage,
and flapjack now and then, and drawing off
some more milk from the stone crock in the
summer kitchen. She'll rue the day she in
vited US.
But her troubles won't be ended then After
breakfast, we are going to make a determined
effort to arise from the table, maple syrup may
be still reminiscently lowering around our lips,
and we're going to force that farmer woman to
tell what it is that goes into country sausage
that isn't put into the city kind.
We have interviewed many of those in the
business. but haven't got any satisfaction.
There's tang. flair, or any other hifalutin
word you can think of, about~country sausage,
that rests not in any other condiment known to
man. We are going to pray with that country
sister. and plead and beg and before we leave
were going to have the secret. Then we're
going to get rich making city sausages into coun-
try sausage for the benefit of all the starved
and repining simpletons who were foolish
enough to leave the farm and its sausage in
their youth
The argument will be long, but that doesn't
matter. If we protract it enoungh. maybe the
farmers wife will ask US to stay to dinner. And
for dinner. well we know it, the piece de resis-
tance, as we say in town. is going to be back
bones. Sausage and backbones ! The mind
cannot conjure day better spent.

Seeks to Annul Marriage
Contract.

Spartanburg, Jan. 6.-Broadus
Smith, through his attorney, w. W.
Dixon, has petitioned the court of
common pleas to set aside his mar
riage to Cordie Smith, alias Cordie
alias Cordie Brewer, alias
Cordie Woodie. In his complaint the
plaintiff alleges that he and Cordie
Woodie were married in Spartanburg
county October 9, 1921. He also al
leges that in 1913 his wife was mar
ried to Leonard Woodie and lived
with him until some time in 1919,
when they separated and remained
separated until December 27, 1921,
when Woodie appeared and claimed
his wife, whereupon Cordie left him
and returned to Woodie and they
have been living as man and wife
ever since. He asks the court to de-
clare rull and void his marriage, and
to put him back on the footing of a
man who has never been married.

ENFORCEMENT OF
LAW URGED BY TENNES-
SEE JUDGE.

With a calendar crowded with
moonshine cases, Judge j. W. Ross
of Cookeville, Tennessee, opened
Federal Court last month with the
determination to clear up the dockets
at the earliest possible date. He did
not for that reason, however, make
things at all easy for the bootlegger.
His charge to the grand jury is
worthy of careful reading. A part of
it follows:
"Gentlemen, 1 would like to I'M
press upon you the Importance and
seriousness of your position. You
stand as impartial arbiters between
the people of the United States and
the law violators, and it is your duty
to do equal justice to both. Upon
your efforts depends, in a large man
ner, the enforcement of the laws of
your country. AS I understand, the
most common and frequent viola
tions of the law in this district are
the violations of the prohibition laws.
Gentlemen. it does not matter wheth-
er you are in sympathy with the liq-
uor traffic or whether you oppose it,
nor does it matter what your feelings
are toward the one whom the gov
ernment seeks to indict, you are
bound by oath to weigh the evidence
presented and if you are satisfied
that violation of the law has been
committed, you must indict. Anyone
who enters the liquor traffic is Ger
tainly to be blamed and most rightly
condemned, as he knows it is wrong
from start to finish, and for that rea-
SON there is no excuse. 1t is your duty
to indict the rich and the influential
man as well as the little man who
runs his still up in the mountains.
"I think the big man should have
a heavier penalty, because he certain
ly knows better, and should not be
allowed to mask his law violation be-
hind a cloak of respectability. Cen
tlemen, you must close your eyes to
the individual and look to see only II
the law has been violated" ."-Palmet-
to White Ribbon.
