Challenge of Crime

One cannot review what has oc-
Cured in connection with the pro-
hibition movement during the last
ten years, without wondering
whether the American people know
where they are going, or if they
care.
Is there anything back of it more
substantial than emotionalism, lip
music and appetite? Has any one
on either side attempted to ration
ize the question, to formulate pro-
gram, to visualize the ultimate out
come?
If the object is to make this coun-
try dry, if we actually intend to
practice what we preach, why con-
tinue the lf-hearted measures
that are doomed to failure?
If, on the other hand, we are sick
of the job and feel we have bitten
off more than we can chew, why
not admit it candidly?
It should be obvious to any in
telligent person that we either must
suppress the bootlegging industry
or prepare to deal with such wave
of organized viciousness as this
country never has known.
That industry not only defies pro-
hibition, but furnishes cover for all
manner of criminal activities. 1t is
in alliance with the thief and the
fence. 1t is responsible for nine
tenths Of the political corruption. It
is the basis of gang rule, and is
becoming a smoke-Screen for kid
napers, thugs and murderers. We
face the alternative for smashing
it, or of conceding that it is a child

INFECTIOUS diseases have what
Il is called an incubation period
representing the time between the
arrival of the germ in the body
and the beginning of the symptoms.
For influenza this appears to be
very short; namely, between twenty
four and forty-eight hours.
The onset of the disease is sud-
den. Extreme sore throat is I'M
usual. The patient usually goes to
bed promptly with symptoms of
chillS and fever.
Sometimes there is nosebleed, and
not infrequently rapidity of the
pulse. BY the second to the fourth
day the disease has become quite
severe and thereafter, if the patient
is tending toward recovery, it les
sens in its severity.
There are usually pains in the
muscles, great weakness, headache,

Reason

60 much scandal has been
~ spilled about the late President
Harding that he is entitled to have
repeated the Robert H. Davis story
in the New York Sun.
When Harding was youth in
Marion, o., young italian, Peter
Venuti, came to town and opened a
skating rink, employing the Marion
band in which Harding played, for
the munificent sum of so cents a
night.
Feeling that his art was worth rs
cents night; Harding demanded
it and was fired.
The years rolled along and Hard
ing became President and Venuti
the head of a Marion CO.. family,
and when the World war came his
youngest son enlisted, was killed
and buried among the unknown
dead.
When the Unknown Soldiers
tomb was dedicated at Washington
Harding invited his old Marion
neighbor to attend the dedication
as his guest, and after the cere-
monies the two sat in the White
House, talking over old days.
Finally Venuti asked the Presi-
dent why he had invited him to at
tend the Unknown Soldiers Serv-
ices and Harding said: well, Pete
I knew that you had lost boy

but we never knew until yesterday
that he invented the broom.
This only whets ones appetite to
learn the name of the genius who
taught posterity to use a broom
straw to clean pipe stem.
James Collins, test pilot for the
Curtiss Aero Company, who Ieaped
from plane at height of 5000
feet, fell 1000 feet like lead, then
opened his parachute and made a
perfect landing, displayed more
speed and also more control than
any baseball pitcher in the majors.

Now and then at infrequent in
tervals we encounter men who turn
away from the allurement of great
wealth to love modestly, in order
to do the work they like.
Such a man was the late Floyd
R. Mechann, professor of law at Chi
cago university; he could have
amassed a fortune as a counselor,
but he preferred to teach.

BILLY. the youngest son of MT. and Mrs. Roy Buck. met with very painful accident yesterday. when the lads left leg was broken between the thigh and the knee. In an interview with the driver of the water wagon, and others who wit messed the accident, 1t was learned that the driver of the water wagon had stopped his team to allow tractor to get by on the narrow road opposite the Glue Pot Cigar Store. At this time there were no children around the water sleigh. and after the driver had started up. he being on the other side of the tank did not notice the little fellow hanging on the other side of the tank. The tank had not gone only few feet after starting up be- fore the hind bobs slid against a telephone pole jamming the little fellow who afterwards fell o6 the runners. By this time bystanders signalled to the driver to stop. The little boy did not make holfer or sound. and the driver picked him up and carried him to the hos pital where Dr.. Wefch and the nur- ses did everything to make him comfortable. Upon examination it was found that the leg was broken as previously described. and it is hoped that owing to the tender age of the boy that the bone will knit and have the use of his leg again. The many friends of Mir. and Mrs. Buck extend sympathy to them and hope that the little fellow will be alright in a short time. Just rec ently little girl of the same par ents had the misfortune of scald- ing herself badly by pulling a pot of boiling water of the stove.
