The General Welfare Supreme

1t might be well to point out to those of our read
es who may be interested in our views that whenever
the majority of the people of the United States begin
looking to the government for a handout, whether 1t
be in cash or in the form of legislative favors. the
doom Of our system Of government Is near at hand.
We have no idea that any such danger threatens
us at this time but there exists some grounds for call
ing attention to the peril With millions on relief,
veterans, farmers, business men and laborers looking
to the government to give them some edge over other
classes of our population, it behooves those interested
in a government concerned with the general welfare
to take note of the spreading tendency and do what
they can to correct 1t.
For example, let us consider agriculture. We do
not think the government has done too much for the
farmer or that he has been placed on a parity with la,
Dor or business in so far as government favor is con-
cerned. However, there is a point where aid extended
to farmers, at the expense Of the public generally,
would become a liability to the nation, although It
might continue to be an asset to the agricultural class
for a while.
Special groups, pleading their own causes In Cong
ress and before State legislatures, should emember
this. In the long run 1t win not pay any fragment OF
the social order to be hoggish and grab too big a share
Of the national income. When this happens the econ
evitable disaster will eventually result.

Keep Up With National Affairs

The session Of Congress, now beginning, will have
to pass upon many important questions affecting the
vital interests Of almost every man, woman and child
In Sheridan county and yet there are those In our
midst who say there is no reason for any OF US to wor
ry about Congress.
The popular idea that nothing can be done about
legislative matters is unfortunate and seriously Inn
pairs the efficient operation of the American repre-
sentative system of government. True enough, very
few individuals have influence or power enough to
affect legislation but when combined in advocacy or
opposition the average Americans become invincible.
Without reference to whether one approves the
policies Of President Roosevelt or not, every one rec
ognizes that his strength is the popular response to
his leadership. So long as it lasts he will be able to
dominate the American governmental picture; when it
deserts him, his era win be over.
The Herald urges its readers to keep up with
present day trends at the nations capital because,
more than ever before, the interests OF individuals are
concerned with Federal legislation. II the average
citizen will act inteligently to make his or her voice
heard the rights of the individual will be respected.
The fact that big business, In the past, has been able
to get so many government favors proves that being
interested helps, If you let your representative know
you are alive to what Is going on.

Important Reconciliation

For some time it has been apparent that France
and Germany had reached an understanding about
some of the issues between them. The French with
drawal from the election contest in the Saar was one
of the outward manifestations of the new alignment
1t was so real that Russia, also a new French ally. be-
came a little worried about the new FrancoGerman
friendship. Recent remarks of Rudolf Hess, Hitler's
deputy Of the Nazi Party. in a speech lent additional
confirmation to the new friendship.
I'VE Germans are no longer of the opinion, as we
were at the time of the invasion Of the Ruhr, that
France wants to destroy our country by any available
means" Herr Hess, who Is Minister Without Port
folio, declared. france has changed her attitude to-
ward Germany and this naturally has brought with it
a fortunate change in Germanys attitude toward
France. Today we are convinced that agreement with
France is possible"
No one can imagine a German speaking like this
at any time during the past twenty years. The form
er conservative governments of Germany would have
been overthrow if they had publicly discussed the
possibility of friendship with France. Hiters govern
ment, however, wellknown to be extremely nationalist
ic, would be able to put over for Germany a policy of
reconciliation with France. II 1t natures, it will mean
much for the peace of Europe.

PYoRRHEA

More people lose their teeth from
pyorrhea than from any other cause.
1t is found among the Egyptian mum
mics and great numbers OF the old
Roman skulls show that 1t was a very
common disease among them
Pyorrhea causes the tissues sur
sounding the gums to shrink, be-
come detached, and to form pus. II
untreated the teeth become loose
and Will eventually fall out. The
condition, when advanced, gives out
a putrid sickening odor.
There are many causes for pyor-
rhea, among which may be mention
ed tartar. This Is a calcarous sub
stance which is deposited from the
saliva around the necks and inner
surfaces of the teeth. At first this
deposit Is quite soft but 1t hardens
as time goes on, and finally sets up
an inflammation about the gums
which grows Ors as the tartar in
creases and hardens. The gums re-
cede from the teeth, and pockets are
formed which become filled with de-
caying food and pus.

gress of the disease. When it first
commences 1t may be possible to
cure 1t, but some specialists believe
that 1t is incurable though it may be
arrested over long periods Of time.
While pyorrhea Is active the alb

Prevention is always better than
cure. AS pyorrhea often starts as a
result OF internal disorders, one who
wishes to maintain good health
should consult his physician more
frequently. A balanced diet is Of the
utmost Importance in keeping up the
physical standard. The vitamin C,
which is found in the juices Of cit
rus fruits, tomatoes and fresh green
vegetables, are a great aid in produc-
ing and keeping healthy gums.
Keep In touch with a competent
dentist. Have your teeth x-rayed for
focal infections, as well as for cavit-
les or decay between the teeth.
Soft foods require but little chew
ing and thus cheat the teeth and
gums out Of exercise that Is neces-
sary for mouth health. Brush the
teeth properly night and morning
with an upward motion on the lower

Pyorrhea may be prevented by
keeping your body well and caring
for your mouth as you should. II

Time To Think

The procession of days revolves into another year
and people in Sheridan county join with other human
beings in taking advantage Of the calendars teranina-
ton of 1884 to pause in lifes tasks to take stock Of the
future, especially as they imagine 1885 will affect
them.
1t is a good thing for an individual to pause in the
midst of ordinary cares and worries and try to under
stand what is going on, both insofar as the person is
concerned and, also, in relation to other events. HUI
man beings, as a race, know very little about them
selves and less about external conditions and happen
ings and their own relationship to a changing and div
ersiied environment.
1t is easy, you know, for men and women to bury
themselves in the prosaic, but necessary, tasks Of life.
The obligations of existence are necessary and not to
be ignored for one seeking satisfactory living. How
ever, human life offers other fields for exploration and
discovery. The men and women who lift themselves
out of the mob are those who possess the ability to
enter this wider field of human activity. whatever
their accomplishment may be.

TELLS WHERE AND HOW
TO PASS ON ALL BILLS

AS Congress cOnvenes, there is
some uncertainty as to recommen.
dations OF the President and a gen
eral inclination to wait for the Ad-
ministration to reveal its program.
The major policies involve the task
Of recovery and relief and almost
every question that m up will be
considered in its relation to n or
the other Of the two great problems
before the Congress.
Last week the President conferred
with his official family In order to
polish his message, 1t was broad
cast and the people OF the nation
had the opportunity Of hearing the
Presidents recOmme ndatiOns on
some OF the questions at issue. The
President will follow hs custom of
submitting subsequent messages to
Congress on specific issues.
The subjects to be considered by
the present Congress and the Presi-
dent include: The extent Of relief
and public works the ordinary bud
get the bonus the currency Ques-
tons, the MIRA, and some other mat
tiers such as the initiation issue,
which will be pushed by blocs In
Congress.
1t is not expected that any effort
will be made to lay down a definite
sum for relief and public works, al.
though probably the President will
ask broad powers In regard to these
expenditures. Meanwhile, he is said
to be hopeful that minimum expend-
| itures can be made in an effort to
| give business its chance to cooper

| help of business, the government will
| probably enlarge the expenditure OF
its recovery agencies.
The ordinary budget, according to
best information, will be cut closely,

ness men with the Administration.
But, in the event that this does not
lead to better conditions in the near
future, a strong demand will be made
for currency measures to bring the
purchasing value OF the dollar up to
the 1926 price level. However, strong
as the initiation group is in the new
Congress, Democratic leaders be
lieve that the President will be able
to continue to control the monetary

will probably not be changed for
| some months at least.
Probably the greatest issue be-
tween the Congress and the Presi'
dent Is a difference Of opinion over
the immediate payment Of the veter-
ans bonus. Legislation to accom-
plish this will undoubtedly appear
promptly, with present indications
that 1t will pass Congress. In the
event OF a Presidential veto, few
doubt but that the House will over.

idea is that a person who needs gov

ton Is to make it unnecessary for
