identified Thomas Touhey as the bandit
who stood guard over the five men, and

fore Judge Sidney D. Miller in Superior
Court Room 3, and later aided the State

Kissing ImperiIS Chicago

kissing has become a menace in
Chicago, we are told, which sounds
ridiculous. The gangs must have
more than made up. At last re-
ports they were not only glaring at
each other, but using machine guns
and hatchets on occasion. The
Thompson-Dineen row left a dis
tinct impression that Chicagoans
hardly spoke to each other, much
less kissed when they met. But now
it is different.
The Windy City, according to its
health authorities, is threatened by
nothing worse than colds, and needs
nothing so much as an anti-kissink
increment.
Twenty million dollars, one official
asserts is lost annually because of
interrupted work through colds, not
to mention $500 lives.
Chicago is to be congratulated on
her jC'0us emergence from gang
rule. u is tough on her young
people, however, to find themselves
unable to express their new found
happiness in the good old fashioned
way.

a good supply of blood to the part
concerned.
This will aid the destroying Of
germs through the natural defenses
of the body and also aid in bring
ing to the spot the cells that wall
of the boil.
The opening Of a boil is a serious
surgical operation. The boil should
not be opened by any one who hap
pens to think himself competent
merely because he does not faint
at the sight Of blood.
An improper opening of a boil
sometimes results in spread of the
infection to the adjacent skin, in
causing it to be disseminated
Throughout the body, and even in
death.
The opening of the boil and the
after treatment are matters for the
attention of a competent physician.

Improve Flying Safety

During the first six months of this
year there were 800 airplane acct
dents in the United States, with 1853
deaths.
During 1927 there were only 200
such accidents, but the death list
totaled 167.
The increase of accidents is OBJ
viously due to the more general use
of airplanes, while the proportionate
reduction of fatalities is just as OBJ
viously due to greater skill in their
construction and operation. This
conclusion is borne out by the per-
centage of airplanes that could be
salvaged.
OF the 200 airplanes wrecked in
1927, only thirty-three were worth
repairing, but of the 800 wrecked in
the first six months Of this year,
218 were worth repairing.

Poison Liquor Menace

New York is less fortunate. She
faces flood of poison rum. Com
missioner Doran says it is due to
the fact that his minions have
stopped the flow of foreign vintage.
Other people disagree, but let that
pass. During the last few days no
less than thirty have died from bad
liquor in the metropolis, while more
than 200 have been taken to the
hospital.
Of ten autopSies performed at the
morgue, all disclosed death as due
to poison liquor. Police authorities
and Federal agents are cooperating
ing to suppress those speakeasies
which deal in the deadly beverage.
Other speakeasies, it is to be in
ferred, may continue business as
usual.

Alas, Poor Yorick

How often have I seen the smile upon his
lips, the flush of power upon his countenance,
the sternness Of regality when COLLINS ruled
and hooded men did serve him.
And now Governor Ed jackson, because of
political expediency goes into the discard.
Or, to choose another metaphor, last
night Harry Leslie, with perhaps ingratitude,
tossed overheard the incubus of jackson in
order to sweep to victory flight.
Rather desperate move for Republican
candidate to openly denounce Republican
Governor And rot so desperate as late.
This newspaper, independent always, con-
graduates Mr. Leslie on Kidding himself, if
he has done it, of the man who pleaded in the
last stage of criminal trial the cringing plea
that the statute of limitations had prevented
a jury from sending him to the penitentiary.
But can Mr.. Leslie throw overheard the
Governor at this late date without losing lot
more of the ballast that has kept his Zeppelin
rather close to earth?
1t is something Of victory that Leslie does
not now believe that the statute of limitations
shows proof Of innocence.
It may be unkind to remind him that last
spring Thomas Adams, now indorsing him,
called upon him to make this same statement
and that the answer was silence.
There are times Of war. There are times
of peace.
In the primaries the Republican party was
afame with a very earnest desire to rid itself
of all the influences that had disgraced it.
The voters of that party, like shock troops,
voted for Adams and Lands and Jewett and
a few for Leslie.
And then came the convention where the
old leaders of hate walked in the corridors and
down the aisles, and out of the tumult and the
chaos came Leslie.
He was Leslie the silent.
He was Leslie, who had prevented an in
vestigation in the body of which he now claims
he was Gar.
1t was the Leslie who now boasts that he
baked Stephenson by illegal means.
The people Of this State happen to know
who nominated Leslie
They know that it was the remnants of the
old army of hate which put over Jackson, now
so poor that not even Leslie does him honor.
They know that on that State payroll from
the one office which Leslie does not dare dis
own are all the the old lieutenants of Ste
phenson.
To jab at Jackson, the discredited, is
cowardly.
When, Mr.. Leslie, will you disown Hogston,
who furnishes fodder for the grazing Ste
phenson herd?
When will you disown Robinson, the pro-
tege Of jackson?
When will you disown Watson-but of
course that would be very easy. He has dis
owned you.
When, Mr.. Leslie, in plain words, will you
be the decent citizen you would like to be and
indorse Frank Daley?

SAYS:
"XXTHIsPERING" did not turf

"XXTHISPERING" did not turn
w out to be such wonderful
issue after all. At any rate, both
sides appear more than glad to
drop it. They also appear more
than glad to drop prohibition, farm
relief and water power.
Things might have been different,
if either of the two candidates had
beeen willing to take such a clean
cut stand as needed no qualification.
Be that as it may, we are back to
the tariff-the good old tariff, that
has served as a last ditch since
Jackson'S time.
This year, however, the tariff
represents a scramble, rather than
an argument. The Democrats are
just as anxious as the Republicans
to convince the public that they
will do nothing to the tariff.

A BOIL is an infection of the
IA skin. 1t usually follows a
breaking of the skin, such as occurs
when the back of the neck is con-
family rubbed by a collar with a
serrated edge.
1t is likely to occur on those parts
of the skin that are covered by hair,
since the hair follicles offer in
creased opportunity for irritation
and for the entrance of germs be-
meath the surface of the skin.
In some diseases, such as diabetes,
the skin of the person seems to re-
act unduly readily to infection and
boils occur with great frequency in
diabetes.
