Safety Planes

CPEAKING of progress in avi-
- alton, the regular passenger air
lines of Oklahoma have carried
10000 people during the last twelve
months, with not one killed or in
jured.
That is a performance that means
something to the man in the street;
something he can understand;
something which dispels his doubt
and skepticism.
What the public wants to know
is not how far a particular airplane
can travel with or without refuel-
ing, but how definitely the element
OF danger has been reduced in ordi-
nary, every day travel

most as common and underhand as
prohibition officers in America.
RECOMMENDATION has set in and if
the yoke OF militarism has been
lifted from the shoulders of the
masses, it is only by couple OF
inches.
Still, it seems likely that human
rights are in better way than in
the cars time. Russia is in tn
experimental state and the las
white counter-revolution was such
a little while ago that it is almost
inevitable that the ruling group
should see ghosts and specters be-
hind every bush.
Some Of my radical friends are
fond Of contending that the cause
OF war is very simple. According
to the notion which they set forth,
some great international banker
calls one of his associates upon the
telephone and says: How about
brand new war at 10 o'clock next
Wednesday morning?"

MEMORY OF LUCIUS B. SWIFT
A Spartan patriot yet Of kindliest

With dauntless courage and a
vigorous mind,
A simple nature. free from tricks
Of art;
A soul that bore good will to
humankind.
Save to the miscreants who de-

For these he had full store Of
righteous hate
And sought their overthrow with
ceaseless zeal;
Unsel1sh always, quick to give or

The honor that his tireless toll

CPEAKING Of the judicial mind,
~ Governor Trumbull of Connect
cut may find it necessary to call a
special session of the legislature to
validate 1893 laws which the su-
preme court of that state has de-
clared void.
These laws we're signed by various
Governors after the legislature ad-
journed. but not within three days
afterward, as the state Constitu-
ton provides.
The supreme court held them in
valid because such delay imposed
the will Of the executive on the will
of the legislature. In other words,
a Governor became a tyrant if he
waited few days before signing a
bill passed by the legislature, while
the supreme court protects popular
government by knocking it out after
several years.

chanlcal tissue.
In most leaves. there is more layers i'm
medately under the epidermis, known as the pasade
layers. These composed Of elongated cells packed
close together in upright position.
The remainder Of the mesophyll is made up Of
irregulary shaped cells most of them or less
oval in shape They Joined together quite closely
so that it is possible for the air which enters through
the stonnata in the epidernis to into contact
with them.
This makes it possible for the carbon dioxde in the
air which enters the stonnata come in contact with
every cell in the mesophylL
The veins already stated, consist of three kinds
Of tissues.
The conducting tissue consists of long cylin-
drical cells placed end to end. In many cases the
ends of the cells are absorbed, leaving long tubes
composed of q number Of cells
When the cells reach full growth, the protoplasm
in them dries up leaving the walls sort OF system
of porous pipes within the vein
The water and mineral salts absorbed through the
roots of the plant pass through these hollow pipes to
the cells in the mesophyll.
The water-conducting tissues in the upper part
of the vein The food-conducting tissues are below
them. They provide a system of channels through
which the food manufactured in the leaves is carried
to the rest Of the plant.
The mechanical tissue Of the vein is known as the
bundle sheath consists in the OF the larger
veins OF one layers Of cells, with hardened
walls.

Uncontrolled Temper

CPEAKING Of the motives which

cripple of York, Pa, shoots his
father rather than have his hair

Exceptional, perhaps, but not
without precedent.
There was a boy/in Maine who
shot his grandmother because she
refused to give him dollar, and
there was girl in San Francisco
who shot her mother when forbid
den to go to a dance.
Uncontrolled temper can make
most anything an excuse for vio-
lence.

Speed Limits

CPEAKING of speed, the British
~ royal commission on traffic con-
troll has recommended the removal
of all limits as far as privately
owned cars are concerned, and the
substitution OF drastic penalties for
dangerous driving"
That is sensible. No road in
Great Britain, or anywhere else, is
safe for the same rate of speed at
all times. Conversely, no particular
rate Of speed is dangerous on the
same road at all times.

TINE uniformed person has for
L years attributed to the prescrip-
ton of the Indian medicine man
some magical virtues which pre-
sumably we're unknown to the
scientifically trained white physician.
The shelves of many drug stores
contain patent medicines with the
pictures Of Indian chiefs who are
said to have evolved the formulas.
The actual facts are that the
medicine of the Indian essentially
was a medicine of magic and folk
lore, with considerable depending
on natural methods for healing.

Giving the Light


Al the head Of this column is motto. 1t is
the motto Of all Scripps-Howard newspapers.
But it is more than motto. It is pledge,
promise, a principle
Give light and the people viii find their
own way"
This is not catch phrase. 1t must be the
basic foundation Of every newspaper which has
an earnest and patriotic desire to serve its
readers and to contribute TO the great ez-
pertinent Of self-government.
For enlightenment is still an experiment,
although it has stood the tests for nearly one
hundred and fifty years.
There was one lamentable lapse That
caused wars between states. It sent men to bat
tie fields to kin each other because reason, dis
cussion, tolerance and understanding had been
banished by emotion, hatreds and closed ears
to argument

There will always be problems in this
country on which opinion viii be divided. There
will be times when those opinions viii become
so fixed in the minds of large numbers that they
become passion and prejudice, rather than
a conclusion.
That is the danger point. 1t is where the
newspaper with conscience and sense of
responsibility must serve, if servire can be
rendered.
The Times believes that every problem can
be solved by discussion and settled at the bal
lot boxes 1t has faith in the ability Of the peo-
pie Of this country to rule themselves
Unquestonably the one question on which
there IS the widest divergence Of opinion and
in which convictions are most deep seated, is
that of the liquor problem
Very recently serious thinkers and shrewd
observers have declared that the problem was
leaving the realm Of discussion for that of
prejudice they see, or think they see, signs
that citizens viii no longer listen to argument
or face facts.
They believe that those who favor prohibi-
ton viii give no ear to the arguments of those
who want change to different method of
solving this admittedly great problem.
They believe that those who do not favor
prohibition are even more fixed in their con
victions that it j, failure and that they re-
fuse to listen to any argument in its favor
But there must be in this nation a great,
vast majority who viii calmly and iudiclally
listen to both arguments and finally determine
the question by their Influence This is the safe
guard of this country. 1t is the salvation of

Prescription He Wrote

Most Popular Laxative

When Dr. Caldwell started TO

needs for a laxative were not as
great as they are today. People lived
normal. quiet lives, ate plain whole
some food, and got plenty Of fresh
air and sunshine But even that
early there were drastic physics and
purges for the relief Of constipation
which DR. Caldwell did not believe
were good for human beings to put
into their system. So he wrote a
prescription for a laxative to be
used by his patients.

that he used early in his practice,
and which he put in drug stores in

Under successful management
