Editorial Opinion

I or bigoted and unreasoning bias, one
finds It hard to understand how, in
an age so generally we'll informed

germs was wrong or to deny tina.
Edward Jenner, the discoverer Of
the vaccine treatment against small
pox, was a benefactor Of mankind.
Yet these were precisely the two
positions taken by practitioner or
one OF the outlying branches of the
healing art in a debate on the prae-
/ tice of vivisection held the other day
in New York. According TO this ex-
ponent OF therapeutics, germs are
not the cause, but the sequence OF
disease. and. IN his estimation,

THE POT AND THE KETTLE.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Upshaw, OF Georgia. member
OF the House OF Representatives, says
he will blow the roof off the ma
tional capitol in due season, as soon
as the parliamentary situation per-
mits. He says he has the list OF
legislators who do not drink as they
vote and OF high officials who pay no
attention TO the Volstead act. Il has
been whispered that there are many
Congressman who vote prohibition
for other people. but not for them
selves.
Mr.. Upshaw is an earnest person
on the subject OF the eighteenth
amendment. but he may provoke
some drinking Congressman into IN
aulring how many black citizens Of
the United States were permitted to
vote in the district from which he
was elected 10 Congress when ne was
elected.

ton, he might reconcile himself to
such other violations as he observes

THE FOILY OF IGNORING FACrs

From the Washington Post.
Just as there are some people who
still believe that the earth is fiat

others to whom the most definitely
ascertained and plainly proved facts
of medical science bring no convic-
ton. The mind of such persons are
either blank. like a tabula rasa, or
so oriss-crossed with ingrained and

Ruling That Players
 Sent to Minor Loops Can Be Drafted Made.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The joint ruling of the major leagues, promul gated at their meeting here last month, will go into effect tomorrow, making8a all players sent by major to a minor league club subject to draft.
 Executions of the ruling is ex- pected to create strife between the major and minor leagues, particu- lar1y since William H. Mccarthy, president of the Pacific Coast league has announced the determination of his organization to resist the pro- posal.
 The minor leaguers claim that the ruling, understood in baseball circles here to have been conceived by Com missioner K. M. Landis, is violation of the maj minor agreement of 1921. The minors assert 1t presages restoration of the complete draft plan which was abolished with Mir. Landis' acceptance of the commis- sionership.
 Commissioner Bandis will be final arblter in the dispute expected soon to come to a head.
 President John Conway Toole Of the International league tonight de- clared there would be no trouble be- tween the major and minor leagues at this time over the new ruling The minors deny it's legality and will refuse to recognize it, he said.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Abel l. Xii viat. former distance running star, and veteran of the American ,Oiym- pic team of 1912, has undertaken one of the most remarkable come backs in athletic, annals-an attempt which he hopes will lead to his participa- tion again in the Olympic, at Paris, in1924. after an interval of 12 years.
 Kiviat retired in 1914 after he had been indefinitely suspended by the Amateur Athletic union for asking alleged exorbitant expenses for par ticipation in q meet. Reinstatement was granted by the A. A. U. at it's annual convention in New York last November.
 Since then. Kiviat has advanced to A program of rigid training, and to- day, after practically three months of road work and indoor practice, demonstrated at an informal exhibi- tion that he is close to the form which A decade ago made him one of the greatest milers in the world.
 While the 1924 Olymptcs are his ultimate goal, Kiviat will undertake a strenuous indoor campaign this winter and later turn his attention to outdoor work.
 Ktyiat intends. if satisfied he can regain his former speed and staying powers, to concentrate his attention on the 1500-metre event. distance slightly less than a mile, and one of the Olympic features.

By Assoclated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Interest In heavyweight boxing affairs now cen ters in Jess Willard, the ex-cham- pion, whose bulky frame blew into town last night and Floyd John son, who meets Bill Brennan in 15-round bout at Madison Square Garden Friday night.
 Willard is here for a conference with Tex RiclSard, in an efort to ar range another match with Jack Dempsey. Willard weighs 26O, but says he can go down to 2SS pounds by the first of June. He said he has lost 20 pounds since he began light training last July. He went from 290 to 23S to meet Dempsey when he lost his crown in July, 1919.s at To- ledo, he said.
 however, is the obstacle that pre- vented Bob Fitzsimmons from re- turning to the ring after he, like of battle. That Is Willards age, or his alleged age.
 He says that he is 36, though some of the record books for years have had a birth date down that makes him 39. The state law prevents men over 3S boxing in New York.
 Willard will attend the battle at Madison Square Garden Friday night, which gives some foundation to the story that he will meet John son. Brennan has served as the springboard for several heavyweight aspirants and served them well and generally to the satisfaction of those who pay to see him do it.

RACHMAN|NOFF AT
 JEFFERSON JAN. 22 IN PIANO RECITAL

When an artist attains distinction such as that won by Sergei Rach- maninoff, who appears at the Jeff ferson theatre Monday evening, Jauuary p, the mere announcement that he is to appear is usually suf- ficient to bring the lovers of his art thronging to hear him. One is, how ever. tempted to add a word or two to the bare notice of Raehmaninoff's coming that those who have not yet come within the radius of his magic power may at least realize that here is an event not to be overlooked.
 In most great artists one is aware of a distinctive personality This is true of such persons as Paderewski, Kreisler and Farrar and is eminently so of Rachmaninoff. Simple and un- assuming in manner, radiating sin cerity from the moment he steps out upon the platform, this genius of the piano at once creates an atmosphere in which his audience becomes re- sponsive to the appeal of his power and viftuosity. The artist and the man unite in a remarkable degree in the personality of Rachmaninoff.
 Seats for the Rachmaninoff con- cert Will go on sale at the theatre box office January 19. Mail orders are being received and filled now,

 THE AGE-HERALD ! F.,


 Tentative plans tonight were for the recess of the legislature We'd nesday afternoon until Tuesday, the day following the inauguration of Governor Brandon.
 Since no bills were introduced on the first day it will not be possible for any to become laws before the end of Governor Kilby's term and any legislation enacted must be ap- proved by Governor Brandon.
 In the past five sessions have been held the first week in order that emergency measures regarding sal aries might become laws with the approval of the retiring governor. thus making them effective at the beginning of the term of the new governor. gl<l7 It IS ..ot probable the two houses will be in session many minutes Wednesday. Following the joint ses- sion for the canvassing of the vote for constitutional officers little business will come before the legis- lature during the day.
