ne VIII call a special session to pass the measure.
Eight years ago the republicans extended to the
farmers of the country the assurance that some plan
OF farm relief would be evolved which would place the
agriculture upon an equitable basis with other indus
fries. What the republican congress did was to in
crease the tariff schedules for manufacturing and in
dustry, making no effort to improve agricultural condi-
tions. Four years ago the same promise was made,
and there is not a farmer who is not familiar with The
manner in which the republican party kept its promise.
once more they are trying to line up the farmer vote
by making vague promises. promises which are in di-
rect conflict with the party platform.
The republican leaders realize that the agricultural
states Of the west and central west, where the agri-
cultural vote controls. are now classified as very
doubtful. Year after year the farmers have gone to
the polls, voted the republican ticket and waited for
the republicans to make good their promises. Those
farmers have com to the turning point. They realize
that no relief can be secured through republican chan
nels and they arc turning to the democratic party
which is pledged to extend to agriculture the sane
measure Of tariff protection other industries enjoy,
and which is likewise pledged to provide for orderly
marketing Of agricultural SURPRISES.

Wilson and Smith

Woodrow Wilson would be an enthusiastic support
er of Governor Smith if he were alive today, is the
opinion Of Ray Stannard Baker. biographer Of the war
president.
In a recent article discussing the views OF the two
great democratic leaders, Wilson and Smith. the famous
magazine writer says:
ION no subject did Woodrow Wilson hold more pos
itiye opinions than upon the effort to inject religious
differences into politics. He considered it hateful
and wholly undemocratic. Wilson's position is sum
med up in his own statement that he tried to treat
every creed and class with impartiality and respect.
He appointed many Catholics and Jews to high office,
looking to their characters and convictions. not to their
religious faith. He hated religious intolerance as
deeply as Thomas jefferson ever did; and he hated
the whispering which has invariably been a part Of it.
1--WE also know not only Woodrow wilson's views
On the three great issues involved in SSmith's candi-
dacy. but we know what he himself thought Of Smith
As \ leader. While at Paris during the Peace Confer
ence (Feb. /. 1870, he wrote to a correspondent IN
New York;
81 hope and believe that you will not be %disaPpoint
81 in Governor Smith. He is a man who has stood
mite apart in a great many ways, and | believe he
feels in an unusual degree the impulses and compdl-
sions Of the changed order Of the nations and the
worlds affairs
eff ever thoughtful independents and progressives
needed courage and decision. they need 1t in this cam
ra;rn of cross-currents and mixed issues. They need
a. leon their ewes on the fundamental democratic IS
.,ss nc human issues. If they do, they will support
Smith not only upon his known record as a wise ao-
r,;risyrs.or and n courageous leader. but they will sup
,ort him because so large n proportion Of the intoier-
~, ,rsiudiced and truly un-American elements in our
populatoin are conspiring to defeat him.

spect to the constitution, whether he is discussing pro-
hibition or some other question.
In the south. and here is Texas, democrats desert
their party because they fear that a victory for Mr.
Smith in November will put American states into the
business Of manufacturing and selling whisky. or will
let loose a flood Of beer and wine on the country.
Mr.. Smith no doubt honestly believes that the pro-
hibition laws can be altered, and so do large numbers
of other persons in the east, who oppose prohibition IN
its present form. But whether one thinks the prohibi-
tion laws are wise or unwise, they are on the statute
books and there they will probably remain long sfter
the political strife and i'll feeling engendered by the
presidential campaign Of 1928 have been forgotten.

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of tho American Medical Association and Of Hy.
 geia, the Health Magazine

About fifty years has passed since Pasteur by his work on anthrax first showed certainly that germs actually cause disease.
 In the intervening periods thou sands of bacterial organisms have been discovered and hundreds have been definitely identified as having the ability to cause cer- tain diseases of mankind. In 1880 the bacterium associated with ty- phoid fever was isolated: then in rapid order came the discovery of the germ causes of pneumonia, glanders, tuberculosis. cholera, tetanus or lockjaw. malta fever, meningitis, texas fever. dysentery. bubonic plague. botulisn. syphilis, whooping cough, leprosy and many others.
 l The Microscope
 The first man actually to sec bacteria was probably the famous Dutchnan who invented the micro scope, Leeuwenhoek. The bac- teria are small. and it has been estimated that it would take three hundred billions of bacilli of average size to weigh a pound. Few people are willing to assign to organisms of such minute size the powerful actions that they &C., tually have.
 They multiply rapidly under favorable conditions. one germ producing two new ones in about twenty minutes. If they repro- duced, however. only at the rate of one in every hour. at the end of twenty-four hours, one germ would have given r,se to sixteen ] and one-half million descendants. 1 The simplest methods of identi- fication of germs are those that involve the examination of stained specimens under the microscope. The germs have characteristic ap- roarances. and they tend to group themselves in various ways. Some l form in punches like grapes, others in long chains. still others collect two by two: some have a capsule about them, others a number Of little tails to aid them i in moving.
 Accepted Fact Now I Thera still are people foolish enough to talk about the germ theory. Germs are no more a theory than are plants and birds, and other living organisms that live and reproduce. The potency of germs can be tested on animals. When injected into animals the germs produce certain changes which are specified for the germs concerned.
 After all this is the acid test in connecting any germ certainly with the production Of disease. If it can produce the same condition in an animal like the monkey that it was associated with in a human being from whom it was taken. anybody with a reasoning mind ! will be willing to grant that 1t has the power to cause the disease l concerned.

 Noel. didn't I see your violin around here, somew here?"
 "Why. yes,' the boy answered. Mrs. Graham said we'd sing later in the evening and would need it as an accompaniment"
 Well, it's a solo I want now. my dear" she returned. I'm in g. most romantic mood--it doesn't happen to me only once in five years or so, and I want to hear mu- sic stealing out from somewhere far enough away that can't locate the sound. Will you humor an old wo- man and take that blessed violin of yours up over that sand dune wonder and play some of my old favorites for me? Remember the old-fashion- cd things. and don't be stingy."
 Why. I'd love to. Mrs. Under- wood" the young violinist returned, while we all applauded her appar- ently spontaneous plan.
 Ten minutes later there sounded the tremulous first notes of that haunting old love song, whose re- frain runs, Tell her love her so," and I wondered if that were cne of Lillian's favorites. or if Noel had seized the opportunity to send a message to Mary.
