Logee, Bismarck minister, points to what he considers some of the defects of the initiated beer bill now before the voters, | ‘There are phases of the letter which migiit bear extended comment, such as the phrase “sweeping us to- ward repeal” and all that it implies as to a changed attitude on the part of our leading dry advocates, but that is not the purpose of this edi- torial. All we wish to do here is to ex- Plain, in so far as it is possible to do #0, some of the peculiar things in the initiated beer bill itself. In the first place, the beer bill as Presented to the people is not the same as it was originally conceived by the group advocating it. The charge that they were chiefly in- terested in commercial possibilities cammot honestly be denied, but all who know them concede that, along with a perfectly legitimate desire for ‘business opportunity, there also ex- isted a desire to protect the public interest and to divorce the beer trade as far from politics as possible. Reliable information is that they ‘wanted no beer commissioner, would put the business under strict con- trol without opportunity for favor- itism and individual caprice. But if action was to be taken with ny speed it was necessary to have @ special election. All who read the newspapers will concede that advo- cates of legal beer were the chief sponsors of the demand for a vote this year. In order to obtain a special elec- tion it was necessary to have action by Governor William Langer and long conferences were held with him on the subject. It was during these conferences, and as a result of the governor's express or implied demands, that the beer bill was changed to include the Provisons now found in it. It was he who insisted that there be a beer commissioner. It was he who de- manded the wide powers, particular- ly with reference to the cost of li- cense, to be given that official. It ‘was he who emasculated the meas- ure of its provisions intended to pro- still have any faith in prohibition would do well to follow Rev. Logee’s example and give close attention to sane regulation and decent control. The Quality of Mercy The existence in the ordinary hu- man heart of a soft spot for any living creature which is in a bad jam {was never better demonstrated than in the elaborate efforts which were made to rescue that venturesome deer which got itself isolated on a mountain ledge at Watkins Glen, ON. ¥, Ordinarily sportsmen head for the woods to shoot deer. They spend lots of money on the attempt, take @ great deal of trouble, walk their legs off—and, occasionally, shoot one another by mistake. But one lone deer, scrambing along @ mountainside and getting itself hung up high and dry at thé edge of a cliff, can cause men to, make arduous and expensive attempts to rescue it—just because it is so ut- terly helpless. Liverpool Cleans House It is extremely interesting to read that the city of Liverpool, in Eng- land, is about to spend around $35,- 000,000 to rebuild its slums. Nearly 13,000 ancient and unsani- tary houses are to be demolished and 16,000 new ones are to be built in their place, to provide homes for some 40,000 people. Liverpool's slums have had an un-| enviable reputation for many years. If they have not been the worst in England they have been very close to it; and the vice, illness, crime and general bad citizenship which they have bred have cost Liverpool many times the sum which is now to be spent on slum abolition. Liverpool's willingness to spend money on that scale in a time of depression might be a useful object lesson for a num- ber of cities on this side of the At- lantic.

Common Sense About Gold (New York Times) In last week's address on the money Standard to the British Association for the Advancement of Science, by Professor John H. Jones of the Uni- versity of Leeds, general return to the gold standard was predicted al- most as a matter of course. That a single economic expert should make this prediction would be itself of no great significance,’ but the consén- Sus of judgmeht to the same effect has been impressive. Not to mention the emphatic turning-down at Ot- tawa of every suggestion for a “man- aged empire currency,” we have had last year’s declarations of the Bank for International Settlements and the League of Nations economic com- mittee that the gold standard is the one mechanism through which a “monetary system resting on a com- mon basis” may be reestablished. Even speakers and writers, who have stressed the argument that the gold standard has not been working right- ly in the past few years, have tacitly assumed that the real problem is not indefinitely to relinquish the gold standard, but to remove which have interfered per operation. The contention of the address to the British Association is that na- tions such as England and America have a particular motive for return to gold. They are visibly injuring one another by trying to get the advantage in a depreciated exchange.

Her husband writes the biography. Six months after marriage at the age of 22 she had an attack of paraly- sis at which time medical doctors gave her up to die. * It seems to me thi hysicians in- dulge in this sad practice with utter abandon, in these biographical let- ters. In actual practice I have never found a physician so depraved, not even a homeopath. I believe people get this idea that the doctors have “given the patient up to die” when the doctors have merely been honest and informed the relatives that they can't promise or guarantee to cure or to save the patient. That is the trade of quacks—they are always ready to promise or guarantee cures or to seem to do 50. y have to offer rosy promises in order to catch the gullible. «+. however, she went under the care of a————doctor (a freak heal- er) and came out of it fairly well with baths, diet, massage, electricity and fasting... . Everything except prayer, evidently. . « though she never got really well but nerves the limit most all times. Later she had paralysis again and 26 different, doctors in all that time never found the real trouble. ... We can’t print the rest of it, be- cause it might give some readers wrong impressions. Suffice to say that finally a regular physician diag- nosed the condition as syphilis of the central nervous system. ‘Why was not the syphilis diagnosed long ago, this husband asks? He complains that the long illness cost him thousands of dollars and years of happiness, to learn “what I know now about nerve trouble and syphilis, and will say that both respond to phy- sical culture and psychology.” If the man seriously believes that syphilis or its effects on the central nervous system will respond to physi- cal culture and psychology I should earnestly advise him to undergo a careful examination to determine whether his own central nervous sys- tem is similarly involved. This man declares his intention to write a true story of his wife's life and the different treatments she went through to no purpose. He be- lieves such a story may do others good. I hope he will not attempt to write such a story, for if it were printed it should probably do much harm and no good at The man is scarcely qualified to speak with authority on the subject. It just hap- pens that in this case the alleged “weak nerves” or “nerve trouble” was the manifestation of syphilis of This may be a good occasion to point out that a child may be born with syphilis if either parent have the disease, but if the child has not the tance of syphilis aed . had herit of 5 ‘ore, law or custom required a physician’ ae See ae lor would have prevented the marriage.

Such # government probably would undertake to abrogate the Platt amendment and it isn’t unlikely that this government would accede to that. But if Cuban leaders emulated Mexi- can and Spanish revolutionaries some threat to American sugar properties would be almost inevitable, and as it grew the possibility of “property intervention” would increase. * oe Ok COMMUNISTS NOT INVOLVED Communists were not involved in the recent Cuban coup d’etat. But this government was worried no end at the possibilities of civil war or anarchy when it found @ mere ser- geant—a man inexperienced in gov- ernment—at the head of the new junta. “Lay off on this intervention stuff,” Roosevelt pleaded with the corre- spondents as he sent warships. The real reason he sent so many ships was to pacify the Cubans. He wanted to scatter the vessels around the island so belligerent elements might see them and think twice be- fore starting something. And of course trouble might break out al- most anywhere. * 8 % USING MR.

Obsolete Phrase .... ‘America’s | CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN Pat dressed swiftly, removed the tear stains from her eyes, and ran down the back stairs, Jack, having a fair idea of why she hadn’t come down to dinner, nor to dance, talked gaily as they skirted the grounds to avoid being seen, pretending not to notice her silence. They came to the beach. He lift- ed her into the boat and pushed out. ‘When they were past the breakers and ground swells, he shut off the metor and let the boat drift, rock- ing on the tide. He talked about the night and hotel events, but she was too full of her trouble to keep it to herself. Presently between sobs and rage she had recounted the whole amaz- ing conversation with her father. Not even sparing herself her fath- er’s last vile words. Jack put his arm gently around her. He marveled at the wisdom of the old man who had made no ob- jection to her living her life as she chose; put up no argument; had further removed pressure by taking care of her financial situation; then left her with the ugly truth to face.
