from his own advisors telling him

Generally, the -enator or repre-

necessary to bea him in the next

he may. There are a fe : is in

Wheeler never Dragged openly Of
his own power. He once went to
President Ha ding and demanded
that Ha. stop drinking. If he
didn't, he rned the p 'esident, the
drys would no. ~ prevent his re-
nomination but would in ..,e mean

Senate.

the league took certain pride in
this and sill boasts littl~, Wheeler
had sense enough NJ to brag about
it. The story leaked out through
member Of the "Ohio gang"
The league never has ha. faith
in Secretary Of the Treasury Mel
Ion, who is in supreme command of
all enforcement, but Wheeler al
ways was too wise to cut loose on
Mellon.
Wheeler's power was Of the sort
that one didn't see on the surface,
but which one occasionally bumped
up against-hard! There was an
instance during he so-called Sem
ate "beer hearings" during which
Senator Jim Reed attempted so un-
successfully to make a monkey out
Of Wheeler). Various governors of
states had written or telegraphed
their opinions Of prohibition and
its workings and Governor Pinchot
of Pennsylvania sent a special mes
senger with a letter vigorously at
lacking enforcement conditions and
tacking the blame onto Secretary
Mellon.
Pinchot's man mt to the acting
chairman Of the committee, of which
the majority was Republican and
dry. He asked that the letter be
put into the record. The acting
chairman replied that nothing could
go into the record without the ap-
prevail of Wayne B. Wheeler-an
astonishingly open examp Of DOM
nation.
Pinchot, being a dry, could hard
| ly give the letter to the wet minor
ity for insertion. Wheeler abso-
lutely refused to allow the letter to
go into the record and the best
Pinchot's men could do was to give
the letter TO the press which gave
it wide publicity.

Of course the first thing to do
when a poison is swallowed is to
get as much as possible Of it back
out Of the stomach. Vomiting may
be brought about BY any Of the COM
me methods such as putting fling

salt water, or by having a physician
inject drugs that invariably produce
vomiting.
If the patient has collapsed he
should be put at rest and kept quiet.
He should be kept warm b. the ap-
plication of hot wate- bottles or
electric heating pads. Coffee may
be given as a stimulant. A physi-
clan may prodr.e stimulation by the
injection Of more powerful drugs
and treat the various symptoms as
they develop.

At the mid hoar of night, when

To the lone vale we loved, when life
shone warm in thine eye;
And I think oft, if spirits can steal
from the regions Of air
To revisit past scenes Of delight,
thou wilt cos1e to me there,
And tell me our love is remembered
even in thu sky.
Then ! sing the wild song twas
once such rapture to hear,
When our voices commingling
breathed like one on the ear;
And, as Echo far off through the
vale my sad orison rolls,

Family answering still the notes
that once were So dear.

What the Air Derby Accomplished

Now that the national air derby is finished.
1T is well to take note of what has actually been
Ia few outstanding things must come to mind
First: It has focused the attention Of the
whole United States on the great northwest, of
which North Dakota is part.
i Second: Through the ease with which most
:of the flyers negotiated the route from Chi
'cago through Bismarck to Spokane it has been
proven conclusively that an air line through
!, the northern tier of states is a feasible thing
from the aviator's standpoint.
i Third: 1t has awakened enthusiasm of peo-
pie in all the states through which the Class
!. A" and B" planes were located and has
helped to spur them forward on their quest of
a northern transcontlnental air mall express
and passenger line.
Fourth: It has furnished the Impetus in a
majority Of cases, for the establishment Of
I landing fields by the various municipalities
]. through which the planes passed.
This last item is worthy of note. Before
!. the plans for the derby were announced, there
were only one or two municipal landing fields
!: along the whole route: Bismarck had the only
municipal field in North Dakota. Glendive.
: Miles City. Billings, Livingston, Aberdeen had
no regularly established fields. Now, because
Of this derby, they have landing places which
will pass stringent inspection.
The derby represented a tremendous amount
Of work. At every stopping point plans had
to be carefully laid and carefully carried
through. 1t is pleasant to observe that Bis
marck, through it's Association of Commerce,
gave the flyers every convenience and even saw
! that they got speedier service here than at any
other point along the route. 1t was good to
see the throngs at the Fort Lincoln field, CIV
ing ample evidence that the citizens of this
city and Of surrounding towns appreciated its
value.
The air derby has served its purpose nobly
in inspiring interest in aviation. There will be
no slackening of effort until an air line through
this territory is permanently established And
to the people of Spokane who made this flight
possible should be given the sincere thanks Of
the people of the northwest for starting and
carrying through so smoothly to it's conclusion
an event which is likely to be ranked as one
Of the most important in the chronology Of
his section.

Biblical Narnes for
Cayes of Preacher

Biblical or historical names were
bestowed upon nearly all the 40
slaves of Rev. George Whitfield of
Georgia, founder of the first or
phanage in America. according TO
writer in the Kansas City Star.
The appraisal of his estate, a doc
ument now 1876 years old, recently
became the property of the Georgia
state department archives and
history, and 1t is the document that
reveals the odd manner of desig-
mating slaves.
When Whitfield had mans job
to be done about the place, he
would call on Adam, Thomas, Luke.
Peter. Job. Matthew. Abraham.
Samson, Saul, Daniel. Paul, Isaac,
Jonathan, Abner, Cato, Scipfo, Ok
ford, London, dick, Tom, or old
Sambo. Upon the women servants
the preacher bestowed such names
as Amoretta, Rachel. Esther. Ruth.
lDinah, Phoebe and Bet
On his plantation surrounding
Bethesda academy. which he es-
tablished near Savannah in 1899,
Whitfield amassed al personal es-
tate valued at $4,000, the docr-
ment records.

In addition to their heavy bear
