A Gallon of Wine
II over a gallon of wine!

mother is dead in Aurora. Ill., killed by state
prohibition agent. Her husband an alleged boot
logger. He defied search warrant. He held shot
gum but did not shoot. The officers knocked him
down.
AS the woman bent over her unconscious husband
an officer shot her down. He thought" she was
reaching for gun.
The officers conilScated a gallon of wine
So they got the man and the wine and the woman
is dead And that's that!
In the name of law they tap private wires, they
run government speakeasies. they deceive girls, they
shoot innocent motorists, they sink foreign ships and
drown foreign Sailors they kill women.
In the name of law, what next?

Substitute for Vote

IMPEACHMENT, as provided for
4 in the federal and most state
constitutions, is easy. Congress, or
the average state legislature, can
impeach about any public official it
sees fit, and for almost any reason
that appeals to it.
Governor Henry johnson of Okla
homa was impeached on the ground
of general incompetency." In or
der to realize what they could be
made to imply, just recollect that
campaign seldom occurs in this
country, without one party charg-
ing the other with general incom-
potency.
General incompetency' might be
made to mean that the Governor
in question did not surround itself
with right kind Of subordinates. and
the question Of what the right kind
was might hinge on what a group
Of politicians wanted.
So, too. general incompetency'
might be made to mean that a
judge had rendered unsatisfactory
decisions, and those decisions might
be unsatisfactory because they dis
pleased some powerful clique, Or in
tereSt.
1t requires no great strain on the
imagination to understand that inn
parchment proceedings might be
carried far enough to become a sub
stitute for elections. and that a
group of politicians might entrench
itself by virtue of them, together
with a skillful distribution of
patronage, until the purpose Of
democracy would have failed.

Stepping on a Rusty Nail

f1uence the wound, since this rust
is usually merely oxidized iron
a remedy that is not infrequently
taken internally to considerable adj
vantage.
The most dangerous of all of
the germs that can be found on
either a clean or a rusty nail is a
germ of tetanus or lock-jaW.
The other type of germ which
is of the greatest Importance is
the streptococcus, a round germ,
when seen under the microscope,
and usually collected in strips or
chains.
This germ is the germ of blood
poisoning of the real variety, not
the type of blood poisoning that is
emphasized by the venereal disease
quacks.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1929-03-27

The blood poisoning of the real
variety may be so serious as to
cause death in a few days. Such
death is called death from sepsis.
1t is important that any wound
of the skin, whether by a clean or
rusty pin, needle, or nail, shall be
given careful first-aid treatment, in
GLIDING thorough washing, the ap-
plication of tincture of iodine or
mercurochrome solution and, if the
wound is large, covering with sterile
gauze until healing shall have
begun.
But there is no harm particularly
attaching to the rusty nail as a
cause of wounds beyond the possible
contamination of the nail by dirt,
manure, or other things that can
carry the germs of infections.

will ever be repealed. The moral
sentiment of the community would
be against taking this lay off the
books. 1t should be remembered
that in an American community a
law may be little more than reso-
luton.
The people hold that fidelity in
marriage is to be desired. Holding
this belief someone is sure to say,
There ought to be law" And
very soon there is. But nobody
really expects transgressors to go to
Jail. The law is merely a serni-adult
expression of the childish practice
OF crying, Shame, shame, every
body knows your name"

GONE people think it dangerous
- to scratch the finger with a

scratching the finger or the skin
anywhere with a rusty nail is the
likelihood of introducing germs of
one kind or another.
The only advantage of scratching
the skin with a clean nail as COM

that a clean nail is newer and is
less likely to be contaminated by
dirt and by infectious germs.

REASON
BY Frederick Lands -
Bryan's Reply to Japan's En-
Uoy Was q Classic, Smooth
ing OUer a Situation That
Threatened War.

IT was very fine that General
L Pershing happened to be in Eu-
rope and represented his country
at the funeral OF Marshal Foch, the
hero of the French.
The honors paid the dead COM
nander at every United States army
post around the world remind US
Of the historic friendship Of the
| two nations; they remind us Of La
fayette, and they remind lis too that
France paid great honor to Wash
ington when he died.
On Feb. 8. 1900, Napoleon had de-
creed a day of celebration and a
triumphal procession marched
through Paris, bearing the trophies
OF the great American and the
leaders of France proceeded to the
Temple of Mars, where an eloquent
eulogy was pronounced.
Many are disposed to disparage
the late William Jennings Bryan's
services as secretary of state, but
that Bryan averted war with Japan
when the Japanese ambassador
asked him if the American answer
IN the California matter was final
and Bryan replied Nothing is ever
final between friends" whereupon
the ambassador sat down and an
agreement was reached.
The Bryan reply is a classic in
any event
Since every single divisional CONF
mander in the present Mexican
trouble has been both rebel and
a loyaliSt in the course of his career.
one would think those who now
happen to be for the government
would have thought or two as they
stand a vanquiShed brother against
the wall and riddle him with bull
let's.
AS Senator Borah calls the irrec-
oncilables TO battle the world court
proposal he finds the ranks deplet-
ed for Knox, Brandegee, Lodge and
Mccormick are dead and Jim Reed
has retired.
How the hearts of these foreign
diplomats will swell with a sense Of
grandeur as they ride through
washington, chaperoning trucks,
loaded with liquor, to prevent their
seizure by the government.

As a result of the Mexican rebel
lion food prices have gone skyward
and coffee costs so cents a cup. but
the highest price of all is paid by
those rebel commanders who bite
the dust.
We are not surprised that Calvin
Coolidge refused to talk to the re-
porters in New York City, for the
fact that his suite at the Connlo-
core hotel cost $25 day was enough
to take his breath away.
The folly Of taking great issues
too seriously was demonstrated
practically by this Indiana man who
stabbed another as result of an
argument over the Sharkey-Stribling
prize fight.

This Chicago bootlegger who was
sent up for six months for selling
liquor to a minor, should have been
sent up for six years.
This goes for all of them.
