P THE ESSEN'CE of drama is a "conflict of contrasts," then the
Presidential contest next year promises to be a thriller. ' .
For nothing could form a shurpcr contrast to the recent Presiden
tial message than the ''Presidential Message". of W. 0. McAdoo is-
sued in Los Angeles today. ' j
The President's message was essentially non-political, the Mo
Adoo message is entirely political ; the President talked business; Mr,
McAdoo talks buncombe; the President had little to say about him
self, the former Secretary of the Treasury, talks about .himself inces
santly. ' .
"Everyone of these reforms was inaugurated upder my adminis
tration. Even the lessening of the income tax upon earned incomes,
was the proposal of the Secretary of the Treasury in tho Wilson ad
ministration. ' ' ' '
In fact the egotism of the McAdoo pronouncement is its most st'rik
ing characteristic. President Coolidge boasted about nothing, Mc
Adoo boasts about everything.
"Where McAdoo scores the late President Harding, President
(Jnolidge paid his predecessor a high .ti'ibiite.innd gave" him credit or
the inauguration of many of the policies which he intends to carry
through. .
Of course, this, difference in attitude might be expected on party
grounds. Put the contrast is significant nevertheless, in marking the
temperamental differences of the two men.
So if the battle in 1924 is carried on between President Coolidge
and Mr. McAdoo, as now scums highly probable, there will be
ample material for the artist of drama. As a general proposition, as
suming a normal campaign atmosphere Mr. McAdoo would have rather
(he better of it, as the people like the picturesque and dynamic per
former, and they are usually indifferent 'to the modest conscientious
type, incapable of .turning a back hand spring whenever the train
stops.
. -Hut there lire indications thut the atmosphere will not be normal.
There is at least a chance that tho people will be in a mood next year
to analyze pretty carefully, to discount extravagant claims rather
liberally and to be more sympathetic with the man who depends upon
facts und hard work than the man whose stock in trade is noise and
fury. .'
If bo, then President Coolidge will have decidedly better'than a
fighting chance." ' ' ""'.' ' !'

Since Ue exploits of Typhoid Mary
were heralded 10 or 12 yearn ago, and
numerous stories of other epidemics:
traced to apparently healthy eerm
carriers since Mary's time, the public!
nus come to understand pretty well
whnt Kerm carriers
are. But germ car-,
riers are not all
bad. Some germ

Dr. William H.t
Park, director Jof

health department.
.one of -the foremost autnorit.es on
bacteriology and epidemiology, who
has contributed perhaps more than.
any other Individual to our present
knowledge of the prevention and
treatment of diphtheria, recognizee
four distinct forms of virulence.
First, .the virulence which Is Indicated
by the power of certain germs to pro
duce toxins or poisons If the germs
are able to fusten on the tissues and
multiply therein, as In diphtheria and
tetanus. Second, the virulence which
allows a microbe to grow on the sur
face of the mucous membranes, mak
ing the host a currier of such germs
us the pneumococcus and the diph
theria bacillus. Third, the virulence
which allows growth in the tissues as
In ordinary Infection when an opening
Is accidentally or surgically made into
the body tissues. Fourth, the viru
lence which permits the invasion of
the body thru Intact mucous .mem- !
branes, as presumably happens . la I
some severe epidemics. ,
Some strains of diphtheria germs 1
have virulence of the first kind -for ,
many, of us,
the nose oi
vlduals they succeed in
toe hold, bo to speak, growing and
multiplying on tho surface, not pro
ducing toxins nor- causing disease.
Such Individuals become carriers; the
germs they carry are capable of sur-
iving and multiplying if they get
into other throats and noses, -producing
an unbroken ohaln of carriers
perhaps. '
But curiously enough, the case to
carrier carrier Is more dangerous than
the carrier j to carrier, -carrier because
the germs which have recently been

city at any one time at least 1 per
oent of the people are carrier to car
rier carriers of diphthoHa -germs. He
even finds a hopeful side to the germ
carrier ( matter, because .undoubtedly
to some degree at least, these carrier
microbes, while still capable of pro
ducing toxin, have lost .much of the
virulence but are still able to im
munize, (. '
Dr. Park believes that when we ride
In overcrowded ' . cars we doubtless

tracts of our neighbors (germs sus

moisture given off when one talks)','

POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE.

USKD (o liave a haughty bearing, with! idle pride my bosom
burned, when to the vitiligo 'liank repairing' with groats and
'kopecks had earned. I wished that all 'who might behold mo
would think me an important lad, and I believed they had en
rolled me among the pillars of the grad. ,Iiut often, as I plowed
my acres, or swung the ax or plied the flail, I wondered why all
kinds of fakers were always camping on my trail. The agents for
gold brielis were ever pursuing' me from. crib to byre, and making
frenzied, fierce endeavor to Holl'me junk I don't desire. ' And so
I asked my gentle pastor, a man of Sv'mdtim deep and wide, why
closer than a mustard plaster the fakers trotted ' by my side.
"There's nothing like a humble bearing, '' the parson said, "for
dodging grief; you journey forth, ornately wearing the gawds and
feathers of a chief. ' To all the thorpe' you're advertising that you
are loaded down with kale; and is it then, my friendsurprising,

THE GREATEST THING IX THE

When Love Hath Turned to Unto.
I s remember TVhon I wns a little
ejlrl. my fnther took me to a vaude
ville show, nnd a' large blondlned pftr
vou . achieved an enormous hit by
warbling a classic ditty which had
for its refrain:
"When my sorrow of the morrow
Has made me curse my fate
Yo mvill cry- by-and-by
; When my love has turned to hate!"
Pretty! It is
odd that the su
perstition -does
.persist - thut .a
mnn and woman
once In love .with
each other may
some day nrrive
at ' the opposite
polo of emotion
nnd thoroughly
and energetically
hute each other.1
In the argot of
our prize office
"... . t,L u . .tv boy: "That's the
bunle.v ilt sn't so. No amount of
disappointment, crlcf. shame. cha
grin or sufforlnc will curdle a heart
that has once held love to tho potion
of hate. It is not a matter of de
sire or one's thought at all. It is
physically impossible. If you show
me a lover' who swears he has grown
to hate his erstwhile Jill. I will show
you a gentleman who never did love
her he only imagined It. And the
forlorn Jill who insists that sho sim
ply hntes and despises her one-time
favored Jack is only a llttlo girl who
is disappointed when she discovers the
love sho hungered for waB ronlly never
in her clutch at all. Tills hate .busi
ness is a tremendous enterprise. But
It doesn't spring from ashes of dead
love nor. Is It a poison distilled from
crushed blossoms of loving hearts. It
Is distinctly a separate and Individual
elixir of hades which manages to
come Into being all on its own de-.
vices. Moving hearts may grow cold
and dear eyes dim with disinterest
But hate? Nope. 'Taln't so.
