He made an excellent run at the primaries and with the support of the Democratic anti-Townley organization should be able to de- feat his socialist opponent. Mr. Kositzky has been a faithful official. He has fought the league bosses when they tried to use him and he has always been unalterably opposed to socialism and soviet rule. At a great personal sacrifice he has published a monthly magazine, The Red Flame, which has done much to expose the abuses now prevalent in state af- fairs. In order to assist the great fight for prin- ciple, he hardly took the stump in his own be- half, working tirelessly for the victory of prin- ciples and to assist the legislative candidates op- posed to the domination of the secret caucus. He believed that he could assist the general cause better by conducting a campaign of educa- tion which has reached practically every state in the union. Hundreds of publications have copied his articles and reproduced the cartoons in his publication. He subordinated his own personal political fortunes for the greater fight, and, de- spite the fact that he did little or no personal work in the recent primary fight for himself, he lost by a very small margin.

For a while Dad is a pretty big man; he is the final authority on almost everything. As Dad.is:in politics, so are the little folk. Dad even is looked -on as an authority on religion —sometimes. Whatever the question: When in doubt, go to Dad. Discipline probably is rather easy within lim- its; the little rascals well know how far they may go, and usually they. take care to stay within those bounds, lest Dad’s ire be aroused. Dad is a mighty fellow, all-knowing, all-pow- erful—for a little time. ‘ If Dad is the right sort, he knows that he is something of a: sham, and he can estimate with fair accuracy the extent of his shortcomings, tak- ing steps to make the inevitable showdown less demoralizing than it might be. Some day the children will awaken to the fact that Dad doesn‘t know as much as they thought he did and that his anger is futile and feeble. If it is an utter rout for Dad on that day, it will be small comfort for him to-reflect that the new grown-up youngsters will meet their Water- loo, too, in the course of time. And, anyhow, whose fault will that be? The old-fashioned “scoop” style of sunbonnet is coming back into style, according to merchants. Such a bonnet requires more cloth than the mod- ern walking skirt. THE VICE-PRESIDENT He It has become the fashion. to poke fun at the vice-president. Especially at the present vice-president. The reason being that the present vice-presi- dent pokes fun at himself. In that he shows himself to be a modest gen- tleman, a trustworthy official and a characteristic American, of the soil racy. y During the past eight years of world stress- ful administration, and especially during the past several months of the chief executive’s disability, the vice-president has been in a particularly deli- cate position. Only a man of real worth, sound sense and sterling integrity could have carried it off suc- cessfully. Yet he has not made a single false move or uttered one illy-considered word during all that time. Even at the time when the false rumor of the president’s death was reported to him, and for an anxious quarter of an hour he thought himself the head of the nation, even then he apparently thought only of the gravity of the Editor | Siflage about himself, because he sends a mes- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1920 situation and of his responsibility. to the nation.

OMAHA GETS ITS LESSON The desire for municipal ownership is like a pestilence or that peculiar craving which has prompted man to makej a beverage of wood al- cohol. As an academic or economic proposition every experiment in this field of municipal social- ism has been labeled poison. And still: it! con- tinues to enroll its yictims. Is it ignorance, or malevolent persistence in'the face of demonstrat- ed failure? Omaha presents the latest instance of the sackcloth and ashes of an excursion into munici- pal ownership. By a large majority vote—fancy the obsession !—the, Omaha people decided to try it on with the gas plant, They had been paying $1.15 net for gas and it does not appear that an advance of price was contemplated or that there was any dissatisfaction with the service. But the bacillus of public; ownership got lodgment and the people agreed to take over the gas’ plant and issue bonds: in’ payment:' The ‘net result, with the new; gas regime in full blast, is an ‘addition of nearly $5,000,000 to the city debt, with taxes to'pay the interest and create the sinking fund—and gas at $1.85! A more lamentable and more expensive failure could not be imagined. It is’ still the same old story, without one differing point of detail. What hap- pened in Omaha’ is what happens with municipal ownership always and, everywhere. From an Omaha newspaper is taken the story of the catastrophe printed on this page. It is “¢ costly and disorganizing experience is necessary. to disillusionize the remaining few who cling to a Washington, Aug. 13.—George White,’ new Democratic “national chairman, got /his' first “lesson” in his néwW job at the hands of Wash- ington’ ‘newspaper men.

His party MUST have publicity. Better criticism and abuse than no mention at all. Therefore, hot after publicity, Bill Cochran, chief of the Democratic press bureau, “arranged” an inter- view for Washington newspaper men with White. ‘Promptly at 10 o’- clock,” was the word. At 10 o’clock the committee rooms were crowded with newspaper men. White was tardy. At 10:15 he was still absent. At 10:25 one man mov- ed a “walk-out” vote, Seconded. At 10:30 a:walk-out” was decreed. It. was unanimous. Dispatch. « | GREAT POSSIBILITIES HERE The demonstration of the possibilities of the mysterious Hubbard coil as. a power; generator given Wednesday, when it was connected with an electric motor in an 18-foot launch, has in- creased the bewilderment of the electrical experts who observed it. Apparently.a miracle was per- formed, yet until further tests are made no one,’ save, perhaps, the youthful inventor,’ Alfred M. Hubbard, will believe the evidence of, his senses. The natural caution of electrical engineers can be readily understood when they are: called upon to witness something which hitherto. has been deemed impossible. This professional caution limited their expressions to the mere statement that they; were frankly puzzled. It! was incon- ceivable that sufficient energy to drive a.35-horse- power motor could be obtained from the innocent looking coil, yet no other explanation seemed pos- sible. The observers .were. as skeptical as the rural circus patron who ‘viewed the giraffe for the first time and, ventured the! assertion that “There ain’t no such‘gnimal.” The cautiously expressed opinions left the ob- servers an easy outlet in either ‘direction. If the wonder enginé’is genuine they will’not be in the class of the men’ who contended that the earth was flat long after science proved ‘that it was round. Neither will they’ be open’ to ridicule if subsequent tests prove that there is a simple ex- planation of the seeming miracle. If the inven- tion’ fulfills the predictions of young Mr. Hub- bard it is the marvel of the, age; if it proves only an interesting toy it is something new in magic. ay Ty) It will be) recalled that the demonstrations made last year were confined to the operation of incandescent lights, although the young in- ventor announced that he had driven a motor with larger coils. The exhibition given Wednes- day opens a wide field of speculation. The energy produced from the coil could have driven an auto- mobile at moderate speed; it could have: illumi- nated an office building; furnished heat and light for a large residence, or: it could have heated seven two-room apartments. And so far as any- body could see the energy came from the air or the earth. The possibility that the current came from storage batteries or from an existing power circuit appeared to be out of the question, since the observers prudently looked into that phase of the matter. There were no hidden wires or any indication that the energy came from a source other than the Hubbard ‘coil. The inventor has promised that he will short- ly attach his “atmospheric power generator” to an automobile and prove that gasoline is/not really necessary for touring. . In view of the demonstra- tions already made it will take a cocksure person to say that he cannot do it.—Seattle Post-Intelli- Midsummer and the campaign combined have put Washington in the doldrums, For the first time in six yéars, Congress wound up its work and got away early. Senators and representatives, one and all, are “back home,” up to the ears in poli- tics. Democratic chiefs, department and bureau heads, have found mys- terious missions taking them out of Washington on junkets, tours of in- spection, etc. Some are frankly on vacation. “Society has departed for seashore resorts or Adirondack camps.

HEALTH ADVICE Samal BY UNCLE SAM, M. D. | Health Questions Will Be An- | swered if Sent to Information Bureau, U. S. Public Health Service, Washington, D. c. d > DISINFECTANTS. ‘A disinfectant is an agent which destroys the germs or organisms with which it comes in contact. An antiseptic retards the growth of germs but does not necessarily kill them. A deodorant neutralizes of- fensive odors, but is not necessarily destructive to bacteria. K .,There are several dependable dis- jifectants, suchas’ carbolic acid and corrosive sublimate, yet of all known agents of this kind, heat is the most valuable and certain in its action. Heat in some form is always avail- able; it is safe and its expense is a negligible factor. Steam and boiling water are the most practical meth- ods of ‘using heat for disinfecting purposes. Boiling water is best adapted for home use, while steam is employed. for public disinfection. in the latter cdse an apparatus is re- quired which. ig more or less compli- and ‘expensive. ere mould fe. : eabered that arti- les or material to be disinfected by oiling water mitist be kept in water which must be constantly boiling for at least five minutes. Simply placing the articles in boiling water which allowed to cool does not always in- sure disinfection.

With an effort J can close them, but it is impossible to hold them together for any length of time. It appears that the muscles (I presume it is the muscles) on the right side of my chin draw when { close my lips and cause the trouble. When I. hold the flesh of my chin tightly between my fingers, my lips close easily and without strain, and if I could have something done to those ligaments ‘to prevent their drawing I believe. my mouth, would look all right. " ‘Ag itis, it is not a bad disfigure- ment, as my lips are only apart in the center for about a quarter of an inch, but it spoils my features and I would otherwise be considered at- tractive. I have heard so much since the war about facial surgery, particularly among the soldiers and 7 would go to almost any length to have this condition remedied. If you could give me some helpful advice in regard to the foregoing, it would be greatly appreciated. A. I do not believe you are on the right track when you consider the advisability of having an operation performed on your face for the cos- metic effect. It is much more prob- able that your trouble is the result of an untreated nasal obstruction in childhood. This causes a narrowing of the arch of the teeth, and pushes the teeth forward. The condition is well shown in one of our pamphlets entitled “Adenoids,” which we will be glad to send to you if you will for- ward your name and address. Experience has shown that the proper treatment for this, especially if treatment is not too long delayed, consists in forcibly flattening the arch of the teeth. This work is done nowadays by socalled orthodonitists. It is suggested that you discuss the matter with your family physician and perhaps with your dentist, and have them advise you. ‘ Q.
