A DANGEROUS PRINCIPLE

The eternal conflict between various schools OF
medicine and healing has produced rather danger
Gus precedent in the law which has passed body
of the Legislature.
Protection of the public from the fakir and the
quack is, of course, necessary.
The troublS seems to be in being accurate to
decide just where science ends and Quackery begins.
Quite naturally the adherents of the various
schools believe in all sincerity that theirs is the
one and sure custodian OF all knowledge upon the
treatment of tho human body against disease and
illness.
Against this the other schools will present evil
dence that they too have helped to tighten the bur-
and lasting.
But into the present measure has come some
thing which has nothing to do with the constant and
perhaps endless debate.
This is the remedy under which any citizen may
procure injunction against a member of the
medical profession who has at some time failed to
register with the board and debar him from con-
tinung his practice until the courts have decided.
Were there provisions for proper bonds in the
event that the charge is i'll founded, it might be &C
ceptable That would give some redress.
But the old principle of law that all are innocent
until adjudged guilty has been rather firmly fixed
and is not to be discarded lightly.
The unfit, of course should not be allowed or
permitted to exploit the uniformed and the ignorant
and the helpless.
But departure from fixed principles is a rather
serious matter and not to be taken lightly with
out very serious consideration.

THE ABSENT VOTER

Repeal of the so-called absent voters law which
mas turned out to be anything else than what its
title indicates, has been half accomplished The
Senate will undoubtedly agree
The law was designed for a good purpose Il
developed that it furnished an easy path to frauds
II there any way under which those who
are unable to be at home on election day because
OF imperative business could be allowed to ballot
without throwing open the doors to wholesale frauds
no one would object.
There are certain trades and professions which
require travel and those engaged in them should be
allowed to vote if possible.
But the present law puts in the hands of corrupt
machines the power to overturn the verdict of the
majority and that power has been broadly used It
IS rather CHASTITY to consider that county clerks have
boosted that if given this power their party will
remain in power no matter what the people may
wish or desire.
In the last election the number of absent voters
ballots in some districts reached total that was in
itself a scandal.
The truth is that the law is not used where the
people own their government 1t is only where
the political machine dominates that the numbers

No Legal DiStiIIing

Uncle Sam will not enter the dis
tilling business even as a silent part
ner. The bill providing for this as

nal whisky out of the bootleg trade
has been killed.
General Andrews. on whose Shout
ders falls the responsibility of en-
forcing the Volstead act, and who
probably knows more about the prob.
lem and its difficulties than any man
in the country, is disappointed.
1t has always been his theory that
if the Government permits the sale
of liquor for one purpose, while for.
bidding it for another, it should take
complete charge of the manufacture
and distribution of the liquor as il
allows to be sold.
Fanatics and bootleggers think
otherwise, and are still in the ma.
jority.
The result is that good liquor will
continue to find its way into illegal
trade, while bad liuqor is sold as
medicine.

Real Power Issue

If one reads the signs correctly,
this Congress will peddle Muscle
Shoals to some private concert and
do nothing about the construction of
Boulder dam.
This has a profound bearing on
that super-power hookup Herbert
Hoover is forever talking about
Hoover favors development through
private enterprise, because, as he
says, he is an individualist.
The trouble is that private enter
prise has long since discarded in
dividualism.
Private enterprise has become a
group affair, in which the individ-
ual cuts no figure.
The real issue is whether we shall
permit the Government to retain
power with which to protect public
interest, or turn the whole works
over to big business.

By Walter ID. Hickman

A play which was frs produced
in Italy in May, 1850, could not be
called modern.
Such a comedy is The Liar"
which was presented last night by
the Little Theatre at the Playhouse
for the first time in this city.
The play is interesting to those
who study the development of the
stage. The Little Theatre produc-
ton demands interest and consider
alton because of the stage sets and
the costumes.
/ understand that the costume
committee of the Little Theatre
Society made the period costumes
used in this production.
At times the stage of the Play
house in THE Liar" becomes a
gallery of color and beautiful cos
tunes. Here is q. costume comedy
and gives the society a chance to
show how well it can make it's own
costumes and build its own period
sets done in accord with modern
stage methods.
The street scene, especially in the
first act, is one of real beauty. 1t
really proves that the society is
growing in its ability to build sets
which compare favorably with
those seen upon the legitimate stage.
I'D &c Of fhn
Little Theatre Society has it not
only gives new acting talent a
chance to appear in public but it
actually teaches the building OF
stage sets and the methods used in
production Of plays.
''The Liar" written by Carlo
Goldoni, actually changed the
fashion of plays in his day. OF
course the characters are all over
drawn and interest centers more
upon the stage sets than upon the
play.
1t naturally drags in spots and
soIAe of the comedy situations are

NO OILERS NEED APPLY

Yale University has adopted a new policy In its
school of law Hereafter only the best students will
be admitted enrolment will be restricted and stand
ards will be raised.
This reverses the almost universal American GUS
tom of giving instruction to any one and every one
indscrimnately
1t sounds undemocratic and snobbish, at first.
But maybe it is good idea.
There is too much idling and loahng in all of
our universities If this action will tend to reduce
those evils, and impress students the fact that
universities are places for real work, it will be most
excellent thing.

Mental Health

We have learned that a balanced
diet makes for bodily health. Why
not apply the same principle to men,
tai health?
Thoughts are food for the mind,
just as bread, meat and vegetables
are food for the body.
No article of food is so good that
it can be eaten exclusively, or gor-
mandized without risk. No idea is
so pure or refined that men can be.
come slaves to it with impunity.
Don't read in ruts. don't think in
ruts, don't work in ruts.
Keep an open mind not only for
the reception of thoughts, but for
their expulsion.

Human Mind Can Become
Dangerous Over Good
Ideas.
by M. f. Tracy

A fanatic strangles a young girl
to death in Toledo because she re-
fused to believe him the reincarna-
ton Of Jesus Christ.
Most of us realize that the mind
is Il terrible thing when it runs
amuck.
What many of us overlook is that
the mind can run amuck over good
as well as bad ideas.
AS matter of record, some of the
worst cases of fanaticism, whether
individual or collective. have orig
mated in noble thoughts.
The witchcraft delusion grew out
of religious zeal.
