Discretion and Valor


Alfalfa Bill" Murray, governor Of
Oklahoma, looks like one of those
homespun, honest, fearless men who
will dare anything for the people and
for righteousness. He does not have
the appearance of man who ever,
iii all his life, has had to mince any
words. And when it Is perfectly safe,
he never does mince words.
But he has just demonstrated that
he has discretion as we'll as valOr,
aid that sometimes the former out
weighs the latter. He made speech
before the Anti Saloon league yester-
day, giving copies to the press in ad-
vance. The contrast between what
he wrote and what ne actually said
shows that he was far more daring
in the safety Of his office than he
was out in front facing the leaguerS.
Is my Judgment now that prohibition
will not prove the wisest legal solu-
ton of the liquor question" But in
his spoken speech he sang thus small:
There is a possibility the final solu-
ton Of legal liquor control will not
be prohibition"
he wrote: II should hate to have
1t said that rode into the COVER
i1or,S chair on wave Of fanaticiSm
or astride beer keg."
Apparently he thought that that
phrase wave Of fanaticism" was
coming pretty closely to home when
uttered before an Arti-Saloon league
convention, because when it came to
making his speech he didn't breathe
a word about 1t.
So, though Alfalfa Bill may look
and sound like a man of valor, after
this nobody ever can say that he
lacks that discretion which Is the
better part Of valor.

Worthy Memorials

The efforts of the American Tree
association to promote nation wide
planting of trees to commemora. e
the 200th anniversary of George
Washington's birth seem to be meet
ing with a good deal of success. To
date, more than 100000 trees have
been planted as a result of the cam
paign, and the work is still going on.
1t goes without saying that this is
campaign which deserves the sup
port of every citizen. For many de
cades the nations one desire seemed
to be to cut down its timber as fas.
as possible, with no thought for the
future. A more sober and sensible
viewpoint now prevails, and it is
realized that the job of reforestatioll
is one that simply must be under.
taken.
The Washington bi-centennial tree
planting campaign not only provides
a good way of honoring the memory
of the nations first president: it also
seeks to arouse Americans every
where to the need of increasing the
country's supply Of standing timber

to q Federal Reserve bank. The
Federal Reserve bank then may legal

bank sending in the bonds will still

also the money.
II an individual or trust company

to secure credit at the local bank.
In that case also the bank may send
them to the Federal Reserve bank

instance, are legal security upon
which money is issued. What IS
meant Is that the presses are set in

why People Take to Drink
Mst Alcoholics Have Defects in Heredity and Drink TO
Escape Reality and Find Surcease for Their Problems

peacenaker g. way out OF the
prison house of reality"
Another British observer, DR.. D.
Yellowlees, points out that certain
cases Of alcoholism represent an en-
deavor to relieve an unconscious
mental tension. In case OF those
who are periodic drunkards. that is
those who only occasionally indulge
in excessive drinking but who are
usually temperate or who may even
abstain entirely from alcoholic liquors
in the intervals, it Is found that the
outbreaks occur when some uncon-
scious mental tension has accumu-
lated until the breaking point. The
discharge or the escape from reality
occurs in sudden debauch.
In those cases in which the drink
ing is habitual, the mental problem
is more constantly in the mind of
the individual, and he is frequently
found to have not weak will or a
bad character but an unsatisfactory
emotional life.
The psychologists who have been
primarily concerned with the effects
Of alcohol on the human body be-
gan with the generally accepted view
that alcohol is not stimulant but q
depressant of the nervous system.
The lower centers of the nervous sys-
tenn are the first and the easiest to
be depressed; hence, there seems to
be stimulation Of the higher levels.
It is this stimulation and the re-
moval Of the repression which gives
rise to the feeling of exaltation, and
which makes the alcoholic laxative.

Admitting Foreign Mates

The bill now pending before con-
gress which would admit to this
country the foreign-born husbands
or wives of naturalized American
women and men Is measure that
ought to be passed as matter OF
course.
In general, the sentiment of the
country is undoubtedly squarcly III
favor of strict immigration restric-
tons. We discovered, some years
ago, that the melting pot wasn't
functioning perfectly, and cutting
down on immigration was nothing
more than ordinary common sense.
But the law must be humane and
reasonable. To admit to this coun-
try the mates of immigrants who
have become citizens would not ap-
preciably swell the total of incom-
ing foreigners And it would. relieve
a good deal of distress and avert a
lot of unnecessary suffering and un-
happiness.

R0senwald's Wisdom

One of the finest things the late
julius Rosenwald did for the nation
was to preach and act against the
establishment of perpetual trusts.
Himself one of the greatest givers
the nation has ever had, he had the
wisdom to see that times change
from generation to generation, and
that it can be highly risky to tie up
a huge sum Of money for all time
to be devoted to one specific cause.
He felt that charitable bequest
should not exist from generation to
generation, under the rule Of dead
hand; instead, he preferred to sec
such a fund spend its money and do
it's work with comparative rapidity.
leaving to future givers the problems
of future times.
Mr. Rosenwald thus not only gave
lavishly, but gave wisely as we'll.

The question Is to why some peo-
pie indulge excessively In alcoholic
liquors, whereas others do not, has
been one which has long given con-
Germ to the experts In pharmacology
physiology, psychology, nervous and
mental diseases. In general, all are
agreed that chronic alcoholics are the
result Of some inadequacy to face
the problems Of life and In most cases
have some defect Of heredity.
The defect in heredity does not
indicate, as most novelists presume,
some alcoholic ancestry, but rather
the occurrence In previous genera
tons Of some mental weakness. The
chronic alcoholic, before succumbing
to his habit, has usually suffered
some nervous symptoms of one kind
or another, quite frequently q state OF
depression which alcohol for the time
being relieves.
This virtue in alcoholic liquors Is
one Of the reasons why physicians
prescribe them. Scientifically they
have the ability to induce state Of
euphoria or q feeling Of well being,
which particularly In the aged Is OF
great importance.
One of the British Psychologists
expresses this particular virtue in
alcohol in the following manner: I'm
