ever is deceived thereby is not wise.
1t seems strange that Mr.. White
has not taken a rap at the whole
sale hypocrisy of the last eight
years under Republican rule.
Prohibition as it is today and as
it is advocated by prominent men
of both political parties at the same
old game of misguiding the people
to get their votes, is worse than
Tammany and the man whom Mr..
White claims has been its tool.
Mr.. White starts out by making
excuses for his investigation. He
admits that he is not a debater
and yet he wishes to enter into
a debate with Mr.. Smith. He calls
himself a country editor.
Why should one so big mentally
and who has the reputation of be-
ing such a fearless editor so humble
himself? The thinking people Of
America are beginning to admire
strength of character and courage
of conviction.
Woodrow Wilson as President OF
the United States gave the people
throughout the world food for
thought. He awakened them from
their mental sleep. He is remem-
bered as a dignif1ed, courageous
statesman, who had the courage to
stand for what was logical and who
was the greatest exponent Of
Democracy that ever lived.
Likewise we have in Mr.. Smith
one who has lived the common life
of a real American. He has rubbed
shoulders with real humanity, kept
his dignity and Self-respect-one
who understands America and the
American and who is extremely
human. His liberal stand on every
thing pertaining to real life makes
him an ideal nominee for the
presidency of the United States.

Gentle War

DR.. Gustav Egloff believes that
instead of killing men, it may be
possible to put them to sleep and
let them recover after they have
been captured. He even suggests
that the sting of their defeat may
be softened by pleasant dreams.
1.-THE use of tear gas" he says,
"is a start in this direction"
Perhaps an anesthetic can be de-
veloped of such power" he explains,
that 1t may be distributed over en-
tire battleflelds and cities, envelop-
ing the defenders in quiet slumber. "
DR.. Egloff's vision would be more
convincing were it not for the OBJ
vious peculiarities of human nature.
When men are mad enough to wage
war they are generally mad enough
to slap each other on the wrist, if
not more.

which will permit society to salvage from those
who make the mistakes of crime

the public and at the same time extend to those
who make mistakes and have learned to live
decently and orderly lives, chance to begin

No system is better than those who oper-
ate it.
The Times today prints the story of one
paroled man, now held in Jail and admitting
half dozen or moro holdups and robberies COM
mitted at time when the president of the
board of prison trustees was not only accepting,
nut personally attesting that, to his own knowl-
edge, this paroIed man was at work in useful
job
1t is demonstrated that the police of this
city were searching for months for this man,
were journeying to Lebanon, the home of
both the prisoner and the head of the prison
board, on frequent intervals; were spending
time in trying to find him while the head of the
penal institution was signing the affirmation
as to his steady and regular employment.
If it were merely matter of accepting re-
ports made by parole agents or others, the only
criticism would be that of negligence.
But here is a prison board manager who
signs reports for who on many, many
nights went out with gun to menace life and
to rob.
OF course this trustee did not know that
the man for whom he signed was committing
robberies
But it is quite certain that this prison trus-

Septic Sore Throat Is Spread by Neglect

After milk is collected for ordl-
nary purposes it should be pasteur-
lied.
The milk is heated 20 a sufficient
ly high temperature to kill the
germs of disease, and it is held at
that temperature for at least one
half hour.
Ninety per cent of the milk used
in large cities of this country is
now pasteurized.
In not one of the outbreaks Of sep
tic sore throat that occurred in
1926 and 1927 was pasteurized milk
at fault.

TINE epidemic of septic sore
Il throat that occurred recently IN
a Massachusetts, city attracted ma
tional attention not because of its
rarity, but because of its proper
tons.
Epidemics of sore throat have
occurred regularly in this country
for many years; in fact, there were
about 104 such outbreaks during
1926 and 1927.
In most cases the difficulty is due
to the fact that a person with a
septice sore throat handles the milk
somewhere in the chain Of handling
before its delivery.
A COW may have its udder in
fected with the germs and then all
of the milk from that COW will be
infected.
When the milk is collected this
milk is mixed with the other milk
and if pasteurization fails the cpl
demic may attack every one who
drinks the milk.
To prevent such epidemics dairy
man should not permit any one with
the slightest sore throat to milk
COWS, handle the milk in any way,
or be at all concerned with the care
Of the pals or milk utensils.

Gas for BOotIeggerS

Except for the mental quirk which
inspires all of us to look far afield
for conquest, fame and salvation,
the scientists now gathered at Chi
cago might find it worth while to
solve some Of the problems right
under their noses.
If gas is good for the battlefield,
why not for moonshine as a source
of political unrest?

wake up some morning and find
that chloroform had been substi-
tuted for bullets in our rum running

was being captured.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

Once any employee develops a sore
throat he should stop work at once
A sore throat may not only be
the result of infections with these
germs, but of infection with scar
let fever or diphtherla, two other
diseases that may be spread by milk.
Before beginning mis- work the
mixer should wash MS hands thor
oughly, and it will do neither him
nor the milk any harm if he will
wash them frequently during the
milking process.
This serves not only as protec-
tor for the milk and the consumer,
but also for the cow.

There Is a Reason

Aside from the impulse to aid a fellow man,
there is real reason why it was possible for
Warren T. McCray to secure aid and help in
an effort to re-establish himself in the cattle in
dustry.
Before he became Governor of this State,
his reputation as breeder of pure bred stock
was more than national. But not even that
reputation would have surmounted the diff
culties which beset man who energies from
prison after he has passed the meridian of
life.
The truth is that the people of this State
forgot the mistakes of McCray when they
learned Of the heroic moment when he turned
down an offer of liberty and money if he would
prostitute his office to the political desires of
the man who is now Governor
When The Times first printed, against, it
may now be revealed, the protest of friends of
McCray who believed that publication might
bring powerful interests into action against his
parole, the story of that day when jackson
went to the McCray office with the message
of immunity and dollars in return for the pros
ecutorship of this county, the people Of the
State were somewhat amazed.
1t may also be revealed that the information
Of The Times did not come from McCray. The
fear of the powerful Khan Influences and the
political machine reached even to Atlanta and
was not stilled by years.
When Ed jackson went on trial and the
citizens of this State learned the story not only
from NcCray, but from other witnesses whom
the people believe, they got view of a mag
nifcent moment.
They saw a man facing prison but with
courage and conscience to defy powers before
which other men, ambitious and eager for
office, bowed in servility.
They saw Governor leaving his office, his
home and his fortune rather than surrender to
the weird forces of hate that then were more
powerful than courts constituted authority.
They saw, too, the man who was charged
with offering this bride plead the statute of
limitations rather than permit jury Of twelve
men pass upon the evidence.
And inevitably the citizenry, both those
with money and those with only ballots, drew
comparison between Jackson, pleading the stat
ute Of limitations and McCray with his head
still lifted and eyes level and clear even after
three years and more in prison cell. And the
comparison was not unfavorable to McCray.
Small wonder then that when there was
chance to obtain for him the management or
eventual ownership of the farm which had
yielded him fortune in other years, there were
those who showed their confidence by most
substantial aid.
What would have happened to McCray had
he pleaded the statute of limitations when he
was placed on trial?
It may be hazarded that there would not be
that generous universal wish that he may again
rise to the sphere of influence and usefulness
which was his before the lure Of political power
took him away from his acres and his herds.
The world still admires and welcomes con-
science-and courage

BERLIN, Nov. 16.-The Reich
stag today rejected by a vote of
255 to 203 the demagogic social
democrat motion to halt construc-
ton of 10,000-ton armored cruisers.
Eight deputies abstained from yot-

A Communist motion of miscon-

by rising vote.
Another Communist motion of
misconfidence in minister of de-
fense, Wilhelm Groener, the nation

social-democrats supported the min
lister.
Before the vote today, former Ad-
