Prohibition in Politics.

The opinion appears to be widely
held by politicians that prohibition
must of necessity enter largely into
politics in 1924, presidential, state,
congressional and municipal. In fact,
1t Is hardly conceivable how 1t can be
prevented from being a factor in the
great quadrennial contest at the polls.
1nasmuch, however, as preponderant
sentiment in the country appears to
favor prohibition as a national policy,
and as all public officials and candi-
dates for Office are bound for their
own safety to advocate enforcement
of the law of the land, 1t may be diff
cult for the layman to understand how
any party or candidate is to get any.
thing" politically out of the entry of
prohibition into politics next year.
No thoughtful man, sensitive to the
condition of majority public sentiment.
will be rash enough to predict that the
eighteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States will ever
be repealed. Only the most optimistic
wet will venture the sincere belief
that the Volstead act Is likely to be
amended, in our time, to permit the
use of light wines and beer, although
he might assert its possibility.
What, then" the layman may be
INDUCED in asking, sis 1t all about,
this pending furry of prohibition in
politics." 1t does not seem to be likely
to get anywhere" The practical poll
tician will answer that it is "a case of
must; we need it in our business
But Is it not fact that prohibition
has always been in politics? That was
the way prohibition was attained,
through political effort which led to
legislative action.

To the land Of the snow,
Where the walrus and polar bear

With no traffic that causes delay.

That will bear me away from the

Makes the big arctic trip,
How 1 wish they would take me

There a dwelling so nice
Is carved out of the ice
By the Eskimo, fearless Of rent;
Where the things that they eat
Round the corner they'll meet
And nobody charges a cent.
Though the climate is strange,
1t at least doesn't change,
And the food is abundant, though
strong.
There the silence so deep
Calls for nothing but sleep
How l wish they would take me

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL

Speaking of horse races--and who
has not been since this Papyrus-Zev-
My Own controversy started some two
months ago--a visitor from the Ar
gentine at Belmont Park told today
the story of the most famous match
race ever held in that country. The
story illustrates, with other things,
the impulslye temperament of the Ar
gentines-as one of the jockeys in the
race had quick reason to discover.
Racing is on high plane in the Ar
gentine. The Hippodrome track. out
side of Buenos Aires. is one of the
show places of the world--a second
Longchamps. During the season races
are held there on Thursdays and Sun
days. few years ago the idol of
the Argentine turf was a brown colt
named for the beautiful bay a. Rio
Boto'ogo. A match race had been ar
ranged between Botofogo and an i'm
ported English horse called Grey Fox,
and it was run on a Sunday, when it
seemed that half of Buenos Aires was
at the track. The betting was all
one way in the pari-mutuel machines.
me tickets poured out on Botofogo.
But evidently a few wise-cracktn
birds bought in on Grey Fox. The
track was a bit heavy, yet this gave
the brave Argentines not semblance
of doubt. They believed Botofogo
could beat any horse in the world at
any distance in any kind of going.
From the springing of the barrier
1t was horse race. Grey Fox and
"Boto" ran neck and neck. The ex-
citement of the crowd knew no
bounds. They were just wild, that's
all. Every one expected it to be diff
ferent when they reached the stretch,
but neck and neck they came. But
Grey Fox was whipping and "Boto"
was hard held. Grey Fox won by
nose. With a roar that could be
heard for a mile, the crowd surged
out upon the track. breaking down
ali intervening fences and barriers.
As he pulled up Botofogo. the jockey
saw that black throng on the course.
He knew what it meant. He leaped
from the saddle and made for the
woods beyond the course, the crowd
in hot pursuit.
The rest of the story is exceeding
ly short. The jockey was never
heard of again. That Is the Argentine
and ''Boto" met for a second time
Botofogo won by a city BLOCK.

Physicians.

A nationally known Philadelphia
manufacturer has a contract with q
physician to keep him in health. The
patient says: "Since the inception of
this contract have kept my part of
| it, and my doctor has kept his, except
once or twice. l have guided myself
entirely by the doctors instructions"
1t used to be said 1hat the Chinese
managed things, or managed health
and sickness, in this way. We have
learned many things from the Chinese
and improved on some of them-and
perhaps we may adopt the plan of re-
tanning a physician to keep us in
health rather than employing one of
them, or a dozen, to restore US to
health.
1t cannot be easy, however, for a
man to be guided entirely by the
doctors instruction" and do any other
work. If the physician in this particu-
lar case Is not frequently advising rest
and change Of scene he is an unusual
practitioner or is 'unethical." A man
who is guided entirely by his doctors
instructions would be angling in Cana
dian lakes part Of the summer, fishing
in Florida and golfing in California in
winter and taking trips to Europe be-
tween times. OF course. not every
physician would prescribe Canada,
Florida and California. One physician
might prescribe Labrador. Patagonia
and the Sahara, another would insist
on mountain top, and another would
say that it must be the sink Of the
Mojave.
For the divergences of medical opin-
ion are proverbial. Henry Fielding, in
his History of Tom JONES'" telling of
Capt. Blif1l's death, said that one doc
tor insisted on apoplexy and the other
held out for epilepsy, but they agreed
perfectly that the man was dead. Then
Fielding, defending the medical pro-
fession, said: There is nothing more
unjust than the vulgar opinion by
which physicians are misrepresented
believe If the number of those who re-
cover by physic could be opposed to
that of the martyrs to it, the former
would rather exceed the latter. Nay
some are so cautious on this head that
to avoid a possibility of killing pa
tie1t they abstain from all methods Of
curing and prescribe nothing but what
can do neither good nor harm" Of
course If one looks ND the dates of
Fielding's birth and death it will be
found that he wrote that many years
ago, and the physicians of today, per-
haps, stand in no need of his defense.
