Every- body is for these. Leave it to the Democrats ago that we had, “He Kept Us Out of War,” just as today he has kept us out of peace. The politi- eal hurdy gurdy has officially started with the adoption of a slogan. It is going to be hard for the Republicans to pack more promised joy into three words. They will space well on the billboards and may catch a few suckers who believe all that emanates from the superheated atmosphere of political head- quarters. INJURING THEIR CAUSE Advocates of: prohibition are merely injuring the cause of temperance by placing a presidential candidate in the field. The adoption of the fed- eral dry amendment was accepted not as a political issue, but because a majority of the people in dll parties realized that it was a wise economic ex- pedient and would tend at any rate to improve the moral status of the nation. There is bitter division over the liquor question. It has never been a strictly partisan issue. There have been and are now ‘wet and dry groups in each of the dominant parties, but these factions are no longer all powerful. | It is impossible to win national campaigns by using “booze” as a bait. If the advocates of prohibition who are now running a candidate-upon’the issue of strict en- forcement of the eighteenth amendment had worked for their principles through either of the dominant parties, they would have’ greater chances of success.: The eighteenth amendment isthe: law: of: the land and until changed again by a referendum or modified thrdugh congressional action, the prohi- bitionists have no vital issue. By proposing a can- didate they. are merely prejudicing their own cause. They are really doing what the advocates _——————_ of “booze,” beer and light wines desire—to keep | the issue active in hope that the: present: status will be overturned and a way opened to the return of former times: t Senator Harding has pledged himself to a strict observance of the eighteenth: amendment. His oath of office imposes upon him the solemn duty of enforcing the laws against the sale of liquor. This should satisfy reasonable men, but the dry zealots are arrogantly demanding that “booze” be the major issue after the nation has disposed of it unequivocally in the adoption of the dry amend- ment. : The Republican presidential candidate gives prohibition the ‘proper emphasis in his speech of acceptance. By agitating the issue continually, | the prohibitionists merely injure their cause. While the vote cast for the presidential candi- date of :the revived prohibition party will not be a test:as to:the nation’s convictions on the tem- perance issue, the-showing made by the drys will be used with telling effect in some quarters by the agents of the liquor interests. A REAL FORCE \ Acceptance speeches of vice-presidential candi- dates usually create but scant and pasing atten- tion. The second place on the ticket has served usually to gratify sectional pride., Necessity of having the ticket well ‘balanced yeographically has frequently dictated the nominations for this office. What such a vice-presidential candidate says or thinks has been of no great national con- cern. He is supposed to perform a certain ‘func- tion, but under no condition to ‘formulate policies or be more than the rules of .senate procedure direct. : The old order of things has changed. In Calvin Coolidge, the Republican party has a candidate for vice-president who shatters political tradition. He is going to be a real force at Washington if elected. There is a new significance in the nom- ination of this sturdy Yankée as the running mate of Senator Warren G. Harding. His acceptance speech merely emphasis a worth already proved. Coolidge is a man of political parts. He is a governor of exceptional ability and brings to the vice-presidency elements of leader- ship rarely found in candidates proposed for that office. ‘Senator Harding proposes to use Coolidge’s ability if elected. He will be a member of the of- ficial circle in the White House and a frequent ad- visor at cabinet meetings. No one can read Coolidge’s speech of acceptance without sensing the fibre and megsure of the man. He emphasizes the weakness of the Democratic administration and with a brevity almost un- matched in American politicsratates the.issues of. the campaign and lays down the steps that must be taken to save this nation from “all the reac- tions of war.” uy The national problem that confronts the vot- ers in this presidential campaign have been sum- med up no better anywhere than in this: “The greatest need of the nation at the present time is to be rescued frpm all the reactions of the war. The chief-task that lies before us is to re- possess the people of their government and their property. We want to return to a thorough peace basis because that is the fundamental American basis. Unless the government and property of the nation are in the hands of the people, and there to stay as their permanent abiding place, self-government ends and the hope of: America goes down in ruins.” P North Dakota will be interested in his analysis of representative government: “Bither the peoplé must own the government or the government will gwn the people. To sus- tain a government of the people there must be maintained a property of the people. There can be no political independence without economic inde- pendence.” To a tax wearied nation this should bring relief: “The most obvious place to begin retrenchment is by eliminating the extravagance of the govern- ment itself. * * * The extravagant standards bred of recent years must be eliminated. This should show immediately in reduced taxation. That great breeder of public and private extrava- gance, the excess profits tax, should be revised and recourse had to customs taxes on imports, one of the most wholesome of all means of raising revenue, for it is: voluntary in effect, and taxes consumption rather than production. It should be laid according to the needs of a creditor nation, for the protection of the public, with a purpose to render us both economically and defensively in- dependent. “A revision of taxation must be accompanied with a reduction of that’ private extravagance which the returns from, luxury taxes reveal as surpassing all comprehension. Waiving the moral effect, the economic effect of such extravagance is to withdraw neéded capital and labor from es- sential industries, greatly increasing the public distress and unrest. “There has been profiteering. It should be punished because it is wrong. But it is idle to look to such action for relief. This class‘ profit by scarcity, but they do not cause it. 9 “As every one knows now, the difficulty is caus- ed by a scarcity of material, an abundance of money and insufficient production. The govern- ment must reduce the amount of money as fast, as it can without curtailing necessary credits. Pro- duction must be increased.” mesa Those political charlatans who have been prom- ising a Utopia through legislation are properly re- buked in this! \ “There has been a’ great deal of misconception as to what was won by the victory in France. That victory will not be found to be a substitute for further human effort and endeavor. It did| not’ create magic resources out of which wages | could be paid that were not earned profits be made without corresponding service. It did not over- come any natural law. It did conquer an artificial thralldom sought to be imposed on mankind and did establish for all the earth.a new freedom and a larger liberty. But that does not, cannot, mean less| responsibility. It means more responsibility; |~ and ‘until the people of this nation understand and accept- this increased responsibility and meet: it with increased effort there will be no relief from the present economic burdens.” EDITORIAL REVIEW a an sURUEEREEDEERERDPSDaR Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune.

BRITAIN th a “COMING BACK” The speed with which Britain, in the face of disheartening conditions, is getting its house in order is impressive. The British government is not wasting any time bemoaning its awful debt. It is facing the realities and coming directly to hand grips with its unpleasant prdblems. The taxes are apalling but progress is being made. At the expiration of 1921 Mr. Chamberlain expects that Britain will have a surplus of roughly. one billion dollars. Of this, $360,000,000. will be applied upon the floating debt. At the end of 1922, the Chancellor expects to have a surplus of a billion and a half dollars.. Of this about $750,- 000 will be applied upon the floating debt. The present financial program to which Britain has,committed itself will automatically cancel the floating debt in seven years. The colossal British debt itself will be wiped out in 43 years. It is possible of course that this program may not be fulfilled, or that it may not run strictly according to schedule. Wars may intervene. Un- predictable catastrophies must be allowed for. But the framing of the program nevertheless re- veals a fine and plucky spirit, and, up to date, it is worth noting, the results have been’ justifying the expectations. Fifteen million dollars in Treas- ury Bills, held in ew: York, have already been taken up. The Anglo-French loan, due next Octo- ber, is, at this time, to be redeemed in full. Britain finds it necessary to impose savage taxes in order to meet the program she has im- posed upon herself. Yet the British people are taking their medicine. They grumble’of course— characteristically—but they are toeing the line. Britain never showed to better advantage, never revealed her native sand and grit more unmis- takably; than she is doing now in these hard, un- romantic, post-war days. She is determined to pay her bills and pay them quickly.

As the people come to realize that play and recreation contribute enor- mously to the promotion of health, the; demand for proper. playgrounds i: everywhere becoming greater. It is clear that our, boys and girls must have some place to play, Shall we be content to let them play in the streats, or onthe raHraad track?, In tenement homes in ‘our’latge cities ‘shall we let them fly kites from the roofs? Popular sentiment is +becoming erys- tallized and the people are demanding that the community make some pro- vision for the safety of the boys and girls during their leisure hours. Most of our cities are now appropriating funds each year for the establishment and maintenance of supervised public playgrounds and récreation centers. This sentiment, is spreading rapidly atid it is hoped that in the not far dis- tant future every community will have an organization to provide play and recreation facilities for all its people. The people of this city, like those of other cities throughout the country, have grave responsibilities in thus providing for play and recreation. Let us hope that they will rise to this op- portunity, and that they will be en- thused by the vision of good they can do. They will see sickness reduced, crime prevented, the sum total of hu- man happiness enormously increased, and a great step forward taken to pro- mote the nation’s strength and wel- fare. ANSWERED. Q. Can-you tell me if there is any drug or medicine known that can be used to loosen one’s teeth so they can be pulled out with the fingers?

I have taken gas on two occasions, and the experience Thad put the finish on my’ whole nerv- ous System. A. So far as I know there is no drug which could safely’ be used in the way you suggest, so that the tecth | could be pulled out with the fingers. | The extraction of teeth under local an- | esthesia, especially according to, the newer methods of administering this anesthesia, the so-called nerve block method; has been so well developed that competent dentists now make; really painless extractions, without any shock.to the nervous system.

Q., A young lady friend is much concerned over the growth of hair on her upper lip and ‘side of her face.’'Can you tell me what to do? is pumice stone » good remedy? 5 A. The growth of hair on the face of a young woman ‘always presents: a very difficult problem, especialhy when the growth is at all profuse. move the visible growth by means of pumice is practically the same as to remove it by shaving or by means.of chemicals and so-called depilatories. None of these methods remove the growth permanently. Permanent re- moval .can’ be effeeted only. by meas- ures which destroy the root of ‘the hair., Such destruction can be effect- ed only by the individual treatment of each hair root. _ Bkilled dermatologists can do this by. means of. an electric need!e. the so-called electrolytic: meth- od. The procedure is rather, painful. requires considerable ‘time, because only. a few hairs, say 10 to 20. can usu- ally be dealt with atone sitting, and the operation must be entrusted only to an exnerienced onerator. It is sug-’ gested that your friend discuss the matter with her family physician, and have himfefer her to an experienced dermatologist. u | JUST JOKING + ° - ~ * Tough Luck.
