Raw Oysters
On Blacklist.

Chicago health authorities have
made it misdemeanor to eat raw
oysters, claiming typhoid exists in this
years pack. Consumers are warned
to boil oysters not les than twenty
minutes. Violators will be fined $25 II
caught.
The fine is not necessary although
the warning and publicity may be.
People need only to know that raw
oysters are dangerous to forego that
epicurian article of diet.
On the other hand, outlandish as 1t
may seem, the state has right to
fine people who render themselves IL
able to communicable disease. A man
has a right to get sick and die If he
wishes. He has no right to infect 9TH
ers by becoming typhoid carrier
That is where the law steps in.

addition to the educational penents
the good fellowship engendereo Is
worth every dollar of the cost ana
much more.
It occurs to the Herald and others
that Grant county agricultural pro-
duets such as butter, eggs, poultry,
o.o;ns and so on, should bear Grant
county label to make them distinctive
and attractive.
Along with the labeled product
would be the implication of quality
and this would have TO be worked Tor.
IT is worth working for.
In the leading fruit districts the
products ere graded and labeled. The
district stands back of the shipment.
It gets better price and holos ue-
mand.
This would take some effort TO WORK
ont but we believe the results would
make it worth the while.

A Farcical Law.

IT is considered likely that the pres
ent legislature will do something
toward amending, repeating or putting
teeth into the Huber parole law. I'm
der its present working out the law
is farcical and travesty on justice.
We understand there are cases
where men who have been released
under the law after conviction of IL
nuor bedding have gone right back
in the game. One would think that
these men would feel some penltence
over their offence and some gratitude
for being dealt with so lenlently. But
motley make joke OF the "hole
proposition. d
A man who is too lazy to work ana
make an honest living and prefers to
make money by selling other people
stuff which may be rank poison, is an
outlaw. He should be dealt with as
such.

Coniferous trees as generally con-
ceded to be the most ornamental and
graceful of trees. Lancaster has hun
dreds of them.
These trees give the city a spicy,
northern appearance which is very
pleasing. II is with regret that we see
them being cut uown, one by one.
1t is true that under certain cir
cumstances an old tree becomes a
menace. Most of the pines are not.
Considerable judgment and caution
should be used before destroying
something beautiful which took ma
ture a century to build.

Paving Campaign Debts.

The Dodgeville Sun, always sincere
if little bitter and cynical, says
Coolidge is beginning to pay his cam
paign debts to the big contributors by
rebating taxes The inference is an
old one. In this case we think the
Sun man sees wrong.
Coolidge is paying his campaign
debts to millions of Americans by in
sisting on economy in government.
Already this has begun to spell pros
perity. When he lowers the tax burden
for the big man he lowers it for the
little man. The American people can
stand lot of that. No greater fallacy
exists than to think big interest
can be burdened with excessive tax
alton and deferred from passing that
burden to the consumer.

Volcanic Power
Not Economical.

Italians have found, after an ex-
haustive use of volcanic steam power,
that with coal at a reasonable price
electrical energy can be produced
cheaper with boilers than by boring
holes in the ground. So explodes an
other fond human hope.
During the war with coal at 800
lire a ton, Italy put down a number
of volcanic stations. Now that coal is
selling at 200 lire a ton the old-fash-
toned steam generating plants (not
twenty years old become the cheap
est to operate, investment considered.
The Italians are big users OF cleo
tricity, not only industrially but IN
draining marshes and for irrigation.

Democrats Are Lucky.

Democrats Are Lucky.
1t jumps in the writer's mind that
Governor Davis of Kansas, arrested
as he left office on bribery charges,
was mentioned as possible presidential
candidate at the democrat convention
last summer. At least his name was
"holIered" over the radio.
Another and more famous Davis got
the honor The Democrats may be glad
they didn't catch Teapot Dome of

feated. Suppose the Kansas Davis had

cording to the story Blaine called
Dawes "a crook" 1t sounds like John.

y new major route is being sur

another route under consideration is
to run from New York to Miami,

The coast to.coast service is now

Development of the air malt has
cost the government about 10000
