The rapid growth of the labor-sav- ing machine, combined with the ef- fects of an economic depression, have thrown millions out of work. Society owes these men something. There is no problem more essential than providing jobs rather than doles for} these men. Some progress has been made in this state. Many industries have reduced the hours of work 50 that more people can share in em- ployment.

A Sound Observation Samuel Seabury should be a good authority upon the efficacy of pub-/| lic opinion. He faced the Tammany tiger in its lair for months and prob- ably caused that political organiza- tion more grief than any other inves- tigator in history. Few men have aroused the people of New York city to the extent that Judge Seabury has. This observation then comes from @ wealth of experience: “Political power is compounded of many elements; among them politi- cal organization is potent, but it is not the strongest factor. Another element which enters into political power, and is much stronger than any political organization, is public opinion. “What I am interested in is not the number of voters who carry the brand of Tammany Hall upon them, but the men and women of New York who have a belief and a conviction and are willing to fight for it. The followers of Tammany Hall are serv-; ing only an interest; the others will give expression to a belief. As John Stuart Mill well expressed it: “‘One person with a belief is a social power equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.’” it was the driving power of public opinion which motivated more than 100,000 persons at a recent city elec- tion to write in the name of Former Mayor McKee, who straightened out the tangle of city affairs after James Walker left. Here was a social power at work expressing contempt for a political organization which had nothing to commend it.

He left office in fine health, and apparently had a right to expect a long life. But there is no doubt that the work of the presi- dency has been so enlarged and in- tensified as to threaten to wear out any incumbent not of the most ro- bust physique. It is an old story, dating as far back at least as the time of John Quincy Adams, who bitterly complained in his diary that Office-seekers and intruding con- nm used up all his day and President Wilson sought to safeguard his none too ample physical strength tration that he would see no appli- cants for office except by appoint- ment.

We have; purposely avoided the subject for two! reasons. First, quacks harp on it adj nauseam in their bait. Second, treat-; ment for prostatic obstruction hereto- | fore available has always seemed/ rather unsatisfactory. | Now I believe we have good news for these sufferers. According to the experience of a few physicians with the foresight and courage to pioneer in unexplored territory diathermy, electro-surgery, the same agency as that which has taken the danger and disability out of tonsillectomy, prom- ises to bring the greatest measure of! relief to the distress that attends harassing affliction of what| might otherwise be serene old age. Incidentally it is a notable fact that hypertrophy (overgrowth, enlarge- ment) of the prostate gland occurs in most men who attain the fullness of years, and the medical authorities have no explanation for it. The only harm caused by the enlargement of the gland is the partial and usually increasing obstruction of the bladder. This depends considerably upon the degree of enlargement of the middle lobe of the prostate, for this middle lobe lies close about the bladder out- let. Heretofore radical operation has been the only effective treatment for sufferers from prostatic obstruction. Even when the operation proves a complete success it seems rather an atrocious price for the patient to pay for relief. Hence we hail the promise of a new and less distressing treat- ment, and in thus presenting the good news to our readers the conduc- tor of this column feels he is render- ing a real health service to all men who are subject to this wretched af- fliction. has arisen: Are there pores in the all the beer and wine that they plan kin through which we breathe or| ‘0 legalize—Police Commissioner Ed- through which poisons or medicines| Ward P.

A MAD NIGHT New York, Jan. 12.—It may or may not have been chronicled that upon a certain recent evening John D. Rockefeller, Jr., looked at his watch— he wears it in his vest pocket and not on his wrist—and found that it was a few minutes after eight. And being a gentleman accustomed to me- ticulous promptness, he reached for ® couple of ticket stubs and entered the cavernous spaces of new Mu- sic Hall theater, more awesome even than the name of Rockefeller. And then had to wait until about 9 o'clock until taxis seemed to crawl over each other like ants hurrying to their hills; until scalpers had sold their last pair of good seats at $30 per each in these depression times; until every lovely lady of the theater had realized the insignificance of her minks in the presence of competitive mirrors, magic and maze; until the last “ah” and “oh” had been drowned by roaring organs. * % TRANSFORMATION ’s temperate clime in favor of} a chance to get & job. @ habitat in wintry New Jersey.
