order to make sure that they are
not infectious.
The treatment of actinomycosis
involves usually surgical removal
of the infectious material. Some
times the X-ray is used, and vac
cines have been given in order to
control the infection if persistent.
To prevent spread of the disease,
the contact with the discharge must
be avoided. Therefore, there must
be a thorough cleaning of the pa
tient, but also Of any materials with
which he may come in contact.
People who want to avoid the dis
ease should avoid the practice of
chewing grass or straw. Meat from
infected animals must be con-
demned and any animal that is in
fected should be destroyed and the
body burned.

4 DISEASE which is rather rare
L n but which at the same time at
tacks altogether a considerable
number of people is actinomycosis,
or lumpy jaw.
Cattle are attacked by this dis
ease more frequently than is man.
When man is infected it is usually
from chewing grass or straw or
grain which has been infested with
the organism.
Because of the character of the
disease it is more frequently present
in laborerS and farmers than in
other classes of people. The Or
ganisms which cause this disease is
known as a fungus.

Travel Need Not Broaden

ATOW, the theory that Herbert
IN Hoover was equipped with pro-
found knowledge of economics and
foreign affairs rested on little more
than the fact that he had lived
abroad during considerable part
of his life. But mere foreign
residence does not necessarily make
a man an expert.

Wholesome Sign

EOR one, I am glad to see it.
4 For one, I believe in the
efficacy of government by popular
assemblies.
A return to it is needed not only
here, but throughout the civilized
world.
The drift has been toward die
tatorship since the war-dictator-
ship in a world saved for democ-
racy."
Look at Italy, look at Russia, look
at Hitler in Germany, or any one
of a dozen other countries, where
revolution has silbverted the funda-
mental principle of republican gov
eminent.
We are not only fighting the raw
ages of depression, but those of a
subtle influence which threatens
little less than the extinction of
human rights.

Representation Again

EOR the first time in many years,
Il congress not only is at liberty,
but actually invited to take matters
into its own hands, and that, too,
after being denied its proper part in
the shaping of public policy for
nine months.
Maybe, it's better so. Maybe, the
time has come for the legislative
branch of this government to as
sert itself. Any rate, that's what
appears to be in the hopper.
Unless all signs fail, we are going
to have real test of the repre-
sentative form Of government, such
as the fathers established, but such
as has not been in style for three
decades.

Perhaps Never In the History
of This Nation Has There
Been Such a Complete Ab-
dication of Leadership as
Hoover No1O Displays.
NEW YORK, Dec. 0.-After read
ing President HooVer's message,
what do you know that you didn't
know before? Or, if that is too in
innate question, what does con-
gress know?
He is opposed to the dole and
tariff revision, but who supposed he
wasn't?
He recognizes that taxes must be
increased, but leaves it for some one
else to find out how and to what
extent.
Since railroads are regulated by
the government, he thinks that
competing services should be regu-
lated by some authority.
Admitting that there is wide
spread demand for changes in the
antitrust laws, he does not favor
their repeal.

How Walker HELPS Mooney

The New York Times, in editorial criticising
Mayor Walkers intervention in the Mooney case,
represented the mayor in a serious dilemma If he
made purely legal appeal he would appear ridicu-
ous, for it is obvious that Frank Walsh and Aaron
Sapro were far better acquainted with the science of
jurisprudence and with the facts in the Mooney case
If he made an emotional appeal he would arouse
the ire of Cafornians embarrasG Governor RoIph
in any move to pardon Mooney
Even though these two assertions may be true
The Times editorial seems to have missed the whole
point about the significance of Mayor Walkers visit
The actual release of Mooney and Billings will have
direct relation to facts or legal argument All the
essential facts now known about the ignominious
collapse of the prosecutions evidence were well esab-
lshed by 1921-Densmores revelations of the methods
of Cunha and Fickert, Oxman's letters to Ed RigaI
McDonalds confession of perjury, Earl Hatcher's
revelation that Oman was ninety miles from San
Francisco at the time of the explosion the unreliable
ity Of the testimony Of Estee Smith and the like.
If mere facts and legal logic would have moved
California, justice would have been done decade
back.
Only thing, it seems, will get action. That
thing is bright and ptiless publicity on this travesy
of justice California is not sensitive to considera-
tions of justice and fair play Bu5 she is sensitive
to the opinion of the outside world
The one great requirement in the case was to
IDENTIFY it with coorfu figure of national repu-
tation and large news-getting powers. In this way
the attention of the whole country could be focused
the California scandal. James j. Walker was
fitted ideally for this function
The degree to which he has succeeded may be
measured very accurately by the very venom and
resentment of the die-hard press and opinion IN
California. This is why hardboiled Californians who
want to keep Mooney and Billings in prison. whether
guilty of the bombing outrage or not, are squeang
and writhing under the spotlight which Mayor
Walker turned upon their conspiracy against justice
and human decency.
The mayors plea in the Mooney case was admir-
ably adapted to the purpose in hand. Whole pages
were devoted to it in metropolitan newspapers which
gave only paragraph year so back to the sensa-
Jonal uncovering of John Mcdonald and the reopen
ing of the whole case in California
There seems little doubt that Walker has done
than all others combined to educate America as
to the issues in the Mooney After all the labors
of Fremont Older and others, this fact may not re-
fleet cosmc justice, but it does represent practical
reality.
