tend to his work again, although
his back is still swollen and his

was on top of it fastening the load
securely with a rope. The rope
broke and Mr.. Robinson tumbled
off the load, backward, and struck
his head and back on the frozen
ground. The field had been plowed,
and the hard, uneven Jumps of dirt
made the landing additionally pain

WILSON'S HOLD BROKEN

The nomination last week by the
Democrats of Missouri of Senator
Reed to succeed himself in the Unit
ed States senate was the crowning
calamity in the political career of
That great man in the White House
Senator Reed had refused to join
those cringing members of his par
~ in congress in fawning at the feet
of presidont arrogance, and Mr.,
Wilson decreed that he should be
politically Outlawed. Senator Reed
had dared to oppose the Presidents
policies relating to the world war
and had consistently stood against
eatangling alliances Mr.. Wilson was
proposing under the guise of
League of Nations. In punishment
for having will of his own the
Democratic national convention at
San Francisco two years ago refused
to allow Mr.. Resd to sit as delegate
in that body. But in the election of
that year Wilson was repudiated
with an emphasis not soon to be for
gotten. Two years later Resd enters
the race for the nomination for
United States Senator. 1t was Reeds
record against Wilson's record. The
ex-President made it such a contest
by openly opposing Reeds nomina-
ton, and the recalcitrant senator
won. Newspapers regardless of pol
itics declared before the event that
the Missouri primary would be the
final test of the former presidents
leadership, and the result is now his

APPELLATE COURT RACE
Very truly yours,
j. II. THOMAS.

Local conditions strongly favor the
of the Republican state central COM
mittee, to the Court of Appeals from
the Third Appellate district. Judge
Rollin Hurt, the sitting member. and
who is not only popular with his pao-
pie but had made a capable and eff
cient member of the court, felt like
his record should entitle him to re-
nomination without opposition, and
announced he would be a candidate
to succeed himself only in the event
he was not given opposition for the
nomination. The position Judge
Hurt assumed was a high and digni-
fled one, but greed for office enticed
ID. A. McCandlass of Munfordsville to
announce for the place and Judge
Hurt declined to enter. II was
understood among the Republicans
of the district that on account of
Judge Hurts high personal standing
and his efficient record no opposition
would be given him in the final race
If he were nominated. This fact was
well known to the legion of Demo-
cratic friends of Judge Hurt, and they
will naturally resent the unwarranted
candidacy of McCandlass, who was
nominated at the rec INT primary, and
will give him but lukewarm or for
NAL support, where they do not resent
the event in more effective manner.
Mr.. Phelps is a lawyer of marked abil-
ity. is personally well known to and
popular with the voters of the district
and this combination of events, in
light of the fact that the district
gave Republican majOrhies in the
elections of 1919 and 1920, makes the
election Of Mr.. Phelps more than a
probability.

ger Of mad dog" bites the State
Board OF Health is creating a need
less and senseless panic in the minds
OF the ignorant and nervous popu-
lace. Possibly there are well-authen-
ticated cases OF people dying of ra-
bies. II may have happened some
where at sometime in distant com
munities in the remote past, but in
fifty years of life J never saw a case,
nor have seen anybody who has
personally seen one. Only two or
three centuries ago witches were a
solemn reality and many of the poor
wretches we're hanged or burned for,
the terrifying obscession. Recalling
my own horrible dread OF meeting a
mad dog" many years ago when l
was more credulous of state boards
than / am now, ] am conscious of the
unwarranted anxiety this foolish
warning will cause many people. and
urge them TO fall back on their OWL
commonsense experience and dismiss
the matter from their minds. They
stand thousand chances to die of
bloodpoisoning from pin scratches to
one of dying of rabies. Indeed, ra-
bies Is a disease so rare that no in
surance company in the worI thinks
il wOclh wi lie to write profession
against the risk. In so far as the
warning may result in the killing off
of worthless dogs it will prove Use
full, but as a measure for protecting
the public health the harm will ov-
erwhelmingly overbalance the good. |
l am not rash enough to ask the pee
pie to accept my Judgment as against
the State Board of Health. but l am
asking them to dismiss their fears |
out Jf their own experiences. and an
ounce of experience IS worth a pound !
