The ROrah Case

1t is rather hard to believe that
Senator Borah will accept the prof
fered nomination of the Prohibition
party. Senator Borah Is fervent
and conscientious dry, and he does not
find his party's platform in the least
satisfactory; but no one familiar with
recent political history can easily pic
ture the Idaho senator running for
the presidency at the head Of third
party.
Senator Borah has always been his
own boss, and various Republican
presidents have learned to their sor-
row that he is as likely to fight
against his partys leader as for him
But never yet has Senator Borah
bolted his party in presidential year
His boiling usually takes place on the
floor of the senate.
It seems reasonably safe to assume
that he will be no warmer to the third
party idea this year than in years
past.

etc?
No. No. Sorry, but you're wrong.
Certainly not. Well, let me give you
hint. I'll tell you that what you
should do has long in it.
No, I hardly thought you'd hit on
the right answer. 1t would not be
natural for you to do so, after all
these years Of humor you have in
dulged in or had served in lieu of the
knowledge we have of the subject.
I'll give you another hint. The first
thing you should do in any such ILL
ness or indiSposition is more altruistic
than for the patients own welfare,
yet it is unquestionably the best thing
to do.
Oh, no, you'll never think of it. I'll
tell you-isolate the patient.
That means simply keep the patient
not less than five feet removed from
other persons, and if anyone must
approach nearer mask the patient or
the viS-a-viS.
The chief mode of infection is via
conversational spray, and the range
of the mouth spray given off in ordi-
nary conversation is something less
than five feet. So in all cases of cri
or whatever other name you prefer to
give it in the beginning of the indis-
position or illness, remember you are
reasonably safe if you can contrive
to keep more than five feet away from
the suspect. We take it for granted
the suspect is polite or intelligent
enough not to sneeze or cough with
mouth and nose uncovered or un-
masked.

GOING HOME!
New York, July 12.-The land OF
promise has slipped up on few llu-
sicns! A certain harsh alloy has
found it's way into the tabled gold of
this new world; :. And the children
of Europe are drifting home; by the
tens, by the hundreds and even by
the thousands.
In the consular quarters in the
steamship offices and on the piers
where liners strain at leash, the New
York immigration picture is suddenly
reversed. The tide, for the first time.
swings away from these shores. There
is little need these days for anyone to
worry about the quota. Foreigners
are leaving faster than they are try
ing to get in.
A check shows, oddly enough that
the flood is not from the cities but
from the countrysides. Most of those
checking out are from the middle west
farm belts-laborers and tenants and
eX-farm- owners alike.
Daily they pack the consular Of
fices seeking passage home. Many
could we'll afford to return in first
cabins, yet most insist on the free
consular passage. In one group the
other day, was told, were three
landsmen who had sold their places
and carried wallets containing from
$4,000 to $4,000. The majority, how
ever, have grown weary of waiting fol
those jobs that fail to materialize anc
feel they can do no worse in their ole
homeland among friends and rela'
tives.
Farewell scenes are frequently mos
melancholy. Those who leave canno
return. Sons and daughters who hav
decided to cast their lots with Amer
lea. for better or for worse, gather il
sympathetic groups as the ships pull
out with fathers and mothers. o.
