gives way to prolonged d~ullness, ill
temper and misery. Then, too. while
alcohol has some value as a medi-
cine. its significance as a healer of
disease has been greatly exagger-
ated. Indeed staff physicians OF
leading hospitals are now abandon,
ing it entirely.
Every organ OF the body Is likely
to experience the baneful effects Of
alcohol. But its most significant
victim is the brain. The drinking
man is less keenly aware of his sur
r%oundings and his judgment Is less
acute than that of his sober brother.

Unity for Project

If Sheridan county is to get prompt and favor
able action on its outstanding water conservation
proposal. the Big Muddy Irrigation project, whole
hearted cooperation must be manifested by every
citizen whether directly or indirectly benefited by
such a project.
So far the burden and responsibility of seeking
the projects approval has fallen on a comparatively
few individuals who have consistently and energet-
icaly given their time and efforts. Certainly hun
dreds OF citizens behind the project would carry much
influence in quarters having authority to approve it.
1t has been suggested several times that a mass
meeting be called at some advantageous community
where the Big Muddy river irrigation project could
be familiarized to Sheridan county residents. At the
same time it would be possible to create a Water
Users association which could do much to foster the
movement.
In unity there is strength. immediate action ON
such a suggestion. The Herald believes. would go far
10 bring about irrigation for Sheridan county.

BETTER HEALTH
BY DR j. ROSSLYN carp



Thou wouldst be joyous,
wouldst thou?", say Barrow, Then
be a fool"
1t is quite probable that a tenden-
cy to mental depression is inherited
and that if we should ever succeed
in breeding melancholy out of the
human race we should also have
bred out all Of our most sensitive
and brilliant minds. On the other
hand if the eugenists remove the
feeble minded they will have taken
from our midst the only group over
which melancholy holds no sway.
Attacks of melancholy come and
go, often without any d%iscernible
cause. Physicians learn to accept
with reservations the gratitude Of
their depressed patients knowing
fully well that the complaint is like
ly to recur. They know too that a
fresh attack Of depression may be
brought on by in love or on the
stock exchange. Malaria and influ-
enZa are most to be feared among
infections. The strain of childbirth
is another not uncommon aus In
such cases the doctor may help by
Fastening c~onvalescense or by pre-
scribing treatment to lessen strain
and shock.
What of melancholy that comes
and goes abruptly without apparent
cause? In such cases the patient can
get more help from within than
from without. Experience teaches
that the cloud will pass. Let him
hold on to hope and so to courage.
Let him avoid self pity. that most
subtle and dangerous enemy of NOR
al self control. AS a steady policy
both in depression and in health
let him cultivate interests outside of
himself. A life of wide and varied
interests is in the end his surest line
of defense.

u. S. Wants Labor Peace

Not only the particular friends of orsanized la
hor. but the entire nation should be pleased with the
decision of the clio and the AFI. to seat their dele
gates at a conference whose aim will be to settle the
differences between the two organizations. The whole
country has a stake in the future Of the labor move
ment and will watch the results of the parley with
deep felt interest.
If he rival labor organizations do not arrive at
a peaceful settlement of their difficulties. the nation
will nav the price of the war which will be fought.
There will be strikes and conflict. wasting time of
Industrial output. and the eventual consumer is the
one who will pay the bill. If labor unites. higher
wages and shorter working hours will increase the
cost of manufacture. but that increased cost VIII be
distributed TO the nation in higher purchasing power.
When strikes growing out of strife between unions
halt production, everybody suffers and nobody gains.
SO. the hope will be that peace comes to the
ranks of labor-though while the nation hopes. many
there are who are ~skeptical of the outcome. And well
they may be.
The inter-union battle narrows down. essen
TALLY. to a conflict between William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of Labor. and John
L. Lewis. car of the committee for Industrial Or
ganization. Each is a strong leader of his group. each
will fight to retain all the power of his position, nei-
Their will yield and let the other become supreme
and a deadlock is in prospect. At least, that's one
very logical view of the situation.
Delegates to the peace conference no doubt will
seek a basis of compromise, but any compromise be-
tween the ALL and the Clio will have to be first a
compromise between William Green and John Lew
is. And where will that be found?
The best answer, perhaps, would be in some
dark horse who could rise as a super-leader to take
place above both Green and Lewis. RELOCATING the
two to positions as lieutenants with equal power I'M
der the new leader. But that possibility is so re-
mote that it's narhaDs uspIpss IN sneak Of II Failing
to find in the thin ranks OF capable leadership to find
such a commander. the parley might turn to some
sort of loose union and division of authority between
the two whereby each retained full power in his own
sphere Of action. That might work, but such an ar
rangemen would have a precarious foundation sub
1ect to nomentary collapse should the ambition of
one or the other Of the two leaders outgrow his fixed
field OF authority.
II will be a troublesome problem which the con
ference wrestles with. and the nation will watch
tensely in the hope of some peaceable solution.

The Drink Problem. Lesson for

The liquor interests. with the aid
of the best talent in the advertising
profession, are investing large sums
of money with the expectation OF
~populariZing the use of alcoholic
beverages. To this end our popular
magazines are filled with seductive
advertisements proclaiming the vir-
tues Of strong drink. But every we'll
informed persons knows that these
cious, deceitful effort to give the
oadsides are . suble fraud, a spe-
cious, deceitful effort to give the
impression that alcohol is a bene-
fetal food instead of a deadly poi
son.
What are the actual facts? All
competent authorities agree that
while alcohol is usually taken as a
stimulant, it is actually a narcotic
whose main effect is to depress,
weaken and slow up mans faculties.
To be sure, its immediate conse-
quences is to cheer and eXhilirate,

Regardless or the announced pur-
poses for which the President has
called the Congress to convene in
an extraordinary session on Novem-
Der Is, it seems certain that the
international situation created by
the Administrations ou%tspoken at
titude toward Japan, and American
participation in the Nine-Power con
ference in Brussels on October 80,
will hold the attention of the Senate
to the exclusion, for a while at
least. Of the specific legislation
which the President has asked.
While there has been no open OPP
position in Congress to Secretary
Hull's activities, there has been a
strong feeling among a large group
of Senators that any sort of inter
national cooperation by the United
States held the seeds of possible
~"entangling alliances" This isola-
ZIONIST feeling resulted in the Neu-
trality Law, which the Administra-
ton did not want, at least in n
such form as it was enacted, and
which Mr.. Roosevelt ignored COM
pletely when he took the steps
which have led America, for the first
time since the Peace Conference at
Versailles nineteen years ago, into
an international conference in
1hich a war and its possible conse-
quences are the subject of discus
sion. This is not at all to the liking
OF many Senators, who feel that it
may be a first step toward bringing
this country into European quar-
rels. if not into membership in the
League of Nations. They are ex-
pected to voice their protests loud
~ and vigorously as soon as the
Senate meets on November Is.
Davis Ready to Trade
But Ambassador Norman H. Da-
VS., who has been named as the
United States representative at the
Nine-Power Conference, will have
some trading material in his lug
gage which may be used effectively
o further the program of Secretary
HUI and the Administration, and
result in improved foreign trade
conditions for this country. And
nat is the prize for which Mr.. Roo
sevelt hopes to grab off by American
participation in the Brussels confer
ence.
There is no desire or intention on
the part of the Administration eth
er to put an embargo on trade with
Japan, or to do anything which
would involve the nation in an
armed conflict. Even if there were
a situation calling for armed inter
vention in China, this country could
undertake it without the COON

British navy is busy at home, keep
