The revised Welch act will not be

Estimates of the cost of equali-

by Gen. Fl. NJ. Lord, director Of the

for the new legislation. the exact
form of which has not yet been

Lehlbach plans to speed up hear

will not reincorporate the Brook

Phenomenal Decrease

The Health Department records

while the statistics for 1900 indi-
cate that fatal cases Of tuber-

Editorial Comment
Senator Georges Candidacy
(Atlanta JOurnal)


AS typical Of what independent and discrim-
mating observers think of the candidacy of
Senator Walter George for the Democratic
presidential nomination, we reproduce else
where in these columns an editorial from the
Christian Science Monitor, newspaper of ma
tional scope and worldwide distinction. To
this impartial student of affairs Senator
Georges entry appears "a political phenome
non well deserving attention" His nominal
ton, it remarks, ''would be the first step to-
ward breaking down that prejudice against a
southern candidate, which thus far has limited
the Democrats of the south to the function of
providing votes with which to elect their nomi-
ness, while prevented from offering one Of
their own number" AS to the Georgia sena-
tors fitness for such leadership, "Hs position
on national issues will appeal to very powerful
forces within the party organizations" for
there is strong feeling that the nomination
should be one which would leave the party's
direction ''in hands acceptable to the great ma
jority of the voters rather than in the control
of the political bosses of four or five of the
great cities Of the north"
These views are of especial interest as
showing that Senator George is in the nation S
eye, and that the merit of southern claims to
due recognition in the councils of American
democracy is acknowledged by fair minds far
beyond Dixies borders. The Monitor, pub
lished in the heart of New England, but ap-
pealing to judicious readers the country over,
is well situated to give poised and represen-
tative opinion Of the Georgians candidacy. It's
politics, like that Of an increasingly large num-
Der of citizens in the east, is nonpartisan 1t
looks for the best man, the best principles, the
best promise for America; and so looking, it
is sufficiently impressed with the southern
movement for George to give the matter a
leading place in its editorial discussion.

NO NATURAL FOOD

With the multiplicity of ideas
about food, one is continually con-
fronted with so many theories as to
be hopelessly confused.
It seems that no two schools of
dietetics are in agreement with each
other. Even those dietitians con-
cerned wholly with the scientific as
poets Of food seem to be very far
apart in their opinions and conclu-
sions. This is probably because
there are so many Laboratory"
dietitians, and SO few "prac 'cal''
ones.
The food problem is mad, even
more difficult if q religious or
ethical aspect is given to it. If one
is a firm believer in some particular
religion, he is apt to be strongly
influenced by references to food
found in the text books Of those re-
ligious or ethical PHILOSOPHERS.
1t is a great handicap to be bound
to dietetic suggestions in such in
spircd writings whose principal
teachings must be considered to be
those advocating good moral con-
duct. Human nature has not
changed very greatly since the
story Ut creation was written, and
those moral principles which were
true then have remained the same
helpful doctrines to assist uc in liv-
ing upright lives today.
Nevertheless, man would today be
an unhappy primitive, Creature if it
were not for the development along
the lines Of scientific research. The
dominant man Of today is one who
| in addition to living a virtuous life
is also keen enough to take advan-
tage of modern progress along scien-
tific lines.
The sacred teachings regarding
moral conduct have been the same in
all the religions, and have not
changed in any degree through the
countless centuries; bC.s it is most
assuredly not true that mans ma
terial environment and opportunities
for advancement have remained the
same. There is practically no food
used on the modern table which re-
sembles that used by primitive man.
Those tribes living today in a prim-
tive state have very hard time to
get enough food to keep alive and
many of these tribes are literally
dying of starvation.
When man has had the ingenuity
and cunning to use natural forces to
the fullest extent, then civilization
will be found in its best developed
manifestation.
The ruling nations of today are
those whose food is the most varied
and plentiful. If you wish to bene-
fit to the fullest extent from the
scientific discoveries of man, it is
not well to confuse philosophical or
moral teachings with that belonging
wholly to the materially scientific
realm.
What mans natural food was CEN
turtles ago was no doubt dictated en-
tirely by what he could secure at
that time. He dreamed Of more food
and better, and through experiment
tation with the laws Of nature his

Why Not Farm Tariff Agreement?
minneapolis Journal)

Republican house leaders have decided, ten
tatively at least, that there is to be no tariff
tinkering by congress until after election. The
Introduction is a blanket one, affecting not only
any revision of the tariff structure as whole.
but also the emergency bills introduced by
Representatives Sevig and Goodwin of Mime
sofa, and other western congressman, raising
the duties on certain agricultural products.
Congressman Tison and the other leaders
make the sound point that the eve of presi-
dental and congressional election is hardly the
time for opening prolonged tariff debate.
They also make an understandable point as
to why the agricultural tariff bills must be
held up. They could be passed by the house
under a special rule that would prohibit any
tackling Of the Fordney- McCumber Tariff Act
as a whole. But their receipt by the senate
would let down the bars for an attack on the
entire tariff structure by combination OF
Democrats and revisionist Republicans.
But are Congressman Tilson and his advis-
ers certain there is no other way out? Let
them remember that the Emergency Tariff
Act of 1921, providing urgently necessary in
creases in the agricultural schedules, was
passed by the sixty-seventh congress seven
months before the house ways and means COM
mittee began work on the bill providing for
revision of the other schedules.
The result was achieved, as we understand
it, by agreement that the agricultural sched-
ules should not wait, owing to an existing
emergency OH the farms.
That an emergency, although not such a
crying one as that Of 1921, exists today, will
not be denied. That the farmer is entitled to
all the protection possible in the way of sched-
ules saving for him his domestic market, is
scarcely open to debate. That this can be
achieved without waiting until after the next
crop marketing season, provided senate tariff
revisionists of both parties agree to keep hands
off the UNCONSTITUTIONAL schedules while the
bills are being passed, seems reasonable pos
sibility.
Why, then. instead Of throwing up their
hands, do not the house leaders take the first
steps looking to such an agreement? True, it
cannot be made entirely within the Republ;-
can party. Is was possible in 1921 when that
party had majority Of twenty-five in the
senate, but does this necessarily mean that it
cannot be made at all? ~
Most Of the Democrats and virtually all the
low tariff Republicans are professed friends Of
the farmer. Is there no way to pledge these
senator's to open the way for the passage Of
one or more emergency farm tariff bills, with
an understanding that, IL the pledges are brok.
-, the bills viii be lost and the farmer will
know whom to blame?
At seems to us that Mr.. Tilson, the Repub-
licAn leader, at least should try - find out

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 13.-Boredom,
being hat it is, Manhattan makes
feverish efforts to protect its blase
children from it's clutches.
Boredom in New York is no diff
ferent from boredom in Kansas
City, Duluth or Gopher Prairie. 1t
merely strikes harder in New York.
For once the Manhattanite is "fed
up" it takes unusual measures to
get him out Of it.
Hence the frantic attempts on all
sides to create something "new-as
though this were possible-that the
faded may be reused from their in
ertia and the faltering ones may be
saved.
The ramifications of these efforts
at "being different" reach through
many currents Of the city's life.
Thus a chain of bootblack stands
dress their sinners in gaily colored
smocks. Other stands have q group
called "the singing bootblacks,"
who burst unexpectedly into close
harmony while Shaping on the
polish. Over in the Washington
Market appeared one morning the
"singing oyster shellers," who at
tracted much attention by growing
tuneful as they extracted the oy-
sters for waiting customers.
JUS now the young "blase boys
are going in for wine cellars. Imita-
tions Of the crude peasant wat
rooms" of Europe are beginning to
appear in q dozen sections Of the
city. They are all located in base
ments and selected for their various
degrees Of roughness. Sawdust on
the floor, and all about are kegs
Of wine. The lights are dim and
the tables are long, rough boards,
The visitors sit in the half light on
long board benches. A few rough
looking characters are thrown in for
atmosphere. A typical Continental
bar-man draws tho various sized
orders from the kegs.
Limousines drive up to these
rough neighborhoods, and outstep
young women in evening dress and
young men in Tuxedos. They crawl
down the darkened stairways aIe
into the dingy, dirty, grape-odored
rooms. They talk Of the "grand
adventure" and the young women

or "Isn't it just too thrilling!" The
