Prisoners PardOned
to Support Families
Governor Blaine Pard6ns Three on
Condition That They Go Home
and Aid Their Families.
(By United Press)

Madison, Wis. = Conditional pardon
was granted to three prisoners in the
house of correction by Governor Blaine
today. The condition given in all three
instances were that the men return to
their wives and families and support
them. The men pardoned were Edward
J. Miller, John Vollrath Jr., and John
Vollrath ST., all Of Milwaukee.
The Vollraths, father and son, were
both sentenced to four years in the
house of correction for larceny. The
son was the principal in the crime and
the father the accessory They had
both served slightly over year of
their sentence. Both have families de-
pendent on them,
Society will be best served and per-
haps considerable punishment will be
inflicted if his wife is appointed his
custodian and he is compelled to turn
over his earnings to her, and therefore
conditional pardon is granted accord
ingly," the governor comments in the
pardon message of both men.
Miller was sentenced to two years on
a charge of bigamy on September ID,
1922. The one marriage has been an
nulled and the other wife has forgiven
him, the governor sets forth in his
announcement of the pardon. "The
proper conditional release, as later in
dicated, will keep him under the re-
straint Of his wife whom he betrayed,
and perhaps that will mean as much
punishment as to keep him in Jail"

JOHNSON'S VICTORY
PLEASES LA TOILETTE
Victory of "PrOgresiveism"
in Minnesota Election.
(By United Press)


Madison, VISA nationwide victory
of progressiveism is at hand.
This is the statement, 70 Senator
Robert M. La Toilette on the election
of Magnus Johnson, farmer-labor can
didate to succeed the late Senator
Knute Nelson, in which he holds out
high hopes for the third party presi-
Dental candidate at the next election.
Political observers here are Won
dering if the optomistic outlook in
Minnesota will encourage Fighting
Bob" to accept the offer of a third
party candidacy if it were offered to
him. 1t is considered as almost GER
tain that he will not be able to cor
raj the republican nomination. In that
case Wisconsin progressives, Lieuten-
ant Governor Comings and many others
who have been campaigning for john
son in the recent election will bolt to
a third party.
The Badger senator believes that
the prospects for a third party can
didate are more rosy than ever be-
fore in the political history of the
United States. In his statement the
hopes on which third party will base
its campaign.
"The voice of Minnesota is the
voice of the common people of this
country, constituting 80 per cent of
the population who are determined to
free themselves from the monopoly
power over their lives which has been
built up over long period of years
through favors for the few eXtorted
from the governments of the many.
"The old Lincoln spirit is sweeping
the west again. 1t will find its echo
in the east, the south and the middle
west just as soon as courageous and
able leaders of the type of Magnus
Johnson arise to champion the cause
of the common people"
Senator La Toilette will control the
vote of IL progressives arleady elected
to the next congress, progressives here
claim. With the close proportion be-
tween the Republicans and Democrats
this will give him veto power. it is
said.

Science

There have been several announce
ments of consumption cures, which
seemed to have merit. But none of
them stood the test. The latest scien-
tific experiments along this line seem
to indicate that the disease soon will
be conquered.
Consumption is caused by a small,
rod-shaped germ. It takes a very
high-powered microscope to see it. The
cells Of the body cannot kill the germ
because it has a wax-like coating.
Many efforts have been made to re-
move this coat without injuing the
poison formed by the germ. The
poison is needed in making a serum.
This serum stimulates the system n
to making anti-bodies that kill the
germs of the disease.
DR.. Georges Dryer, Oxford Univer-
sity. England, has succeeded with the
aid of formalin, in removing this wax
coating without spelling the poison.
The injection that he then uses has
some remarkable results. Science is
sceptical about consumption cures, but
1t watches real scientific efforts in this
respect with great interest.

Debt Payment,
BY WILLIAM PHILIP. SIMMS,

lIWI element occasioned. In England
IL and France by the suggestion
of Senator Willis, of Ohio, that the
United States take over the Bahamas
and other British and French posses

of the war claims, was premature, to

take on in the way of overseas pos
sessions. From the Philippines TO
Porto Rico there isn't one Latin-Amer-
lean connection to give President
Harding unanoyed pleasure to con-
template.
Canal Not Menaced
The Panama Canal is not menaced
by French and British holdings in the
West Indies, Army and Navy officers
say nor are-~the islands needed as
bases for the defense of the canal
zone. And these things, they admit,
would be the only excuses for furth-
er West Indian acquisitions.
With Guantanamo. in Cuba; Porto
Rico and the Virgin Islands-with
possibly Taboga Island, at the Pacific
entrance to the canal-all improved,
the Navy would have all the bases it
really requires.
Even the Virgin Islands are by no
means vital.
Acquired as recently as 1917, they
represent q diplomatic secret rather
than a strategic plan. 1t was a desire
to forestall Germany, who wanted
them, rather than any real need of
them as a base. that prompted Wash
ington to pay Denmark s25. 900, 900 to
transfer them to the Stars and Stripes.
No Site for Base
Navy officers told the writer there
isn't a site for first-class naval base
on the islands. Charlotte Amelie,
Island OF st. Thomas. is a good port.
and Coral Bay, St. John Island, is
nearly as good. But there is not
enough fresh water at hand for a big
base.

liability instead of an asset. Once
