Tho reiiKOiiinjf liy which llie niililiint Dry lender arrived lit

Mr. Meier is a Wet liy iiieliiuition, lull lit! falls back on the as
sumption iliiit the Independent candidate would keep any oath

Isn't this the type id' lojjin which supports every candidal"
for public office, WHO VOTKS DKY AND DIUNKS WICT? It
seems so to us. They all tell the Drys they will see that 1 lie
I'rohihition law is strictly enforced, and they tell the Wets, that
liy personal inclination they are atiainst it. So they slip into
office li v seenriiii; votes from both sides of the fence.
ONE is justified in speculating why Dr. Wilson overlooked
the third .'uhernatorinl candidate, Kdward JJailey, who
won the nomination in the Democratic primary.
Mr. liailey, according to his platform, and according to all
reports, is not only a Dry personally hut politically. Instead of
playing the deinajjone and hypocrite, he has not only endorsed
Prohibition, lull explicitly sjatcs that he believes it has been a
great moral boon, to this slate and country, and should be pro
tected from every onslaught by the outlawed liquor interests.
ISN'T this precisely the view of Dr. Clarence True Wilson, and
the militant Drys he is supposed to represent 1 Then on what
grounds has Dr. Wilson descried the man who courageously
defies the volers who oppose Prohibition, and rests his political
fate upon those who support and
Oerlainly Mr. liailey and his
titled to it clear explanation
the Hoard of Temperance, and the defender of this country's
public morals.
To a man up n tree or for that matter to a boy SITTING
in il it looks very much as though Dr. Wilson bad violated one
of the cardinal tenets of his faith, which is to place the prin
ciple of Prohibition AUOVK party ami never sacrifice what he
calls " he sacred cause" on the allar of political expediency.
A START IN WATER PUBLICITY

THESE OBSERVATIONS?

had tuberculosis, to read. If such

tuberculosis, instead of tho chican
ery nnd prurience such youths got
In t lie claptrap physical culture or
snide health intigazlnes, it would
bo a blessing. I suppose every doc-
tory has seen tragic instances of
smart-Aleck youths drifting ulons
in the early Htage of tuberculosis
or, other disease and pinning all
his faith to the plausible but base
less nonsense taught by the hum
hug health "experts" who make for
tunes out of such publications. It
is sad to see a promising youth
condemned to spend long years,
perhaps, in n hospital or sanatori
um to undo the harm done by the
ill-advised monkeying with exer
cise, freak diet and the like when
the disease was in the incipient
stage. If fair consideration wens
given the subjects of physiology
and hygiene in our public schools,
this sort of exploitation of youthful
ignorance and credulity by the
crook publishers would he mi prof
itable and would therefore soon
cense.
Think it over, wiseacre, if you're
biting on some wonderful health
building scheme or some short-cut
healing system that happens to up-
peal to you just now because your
name is on some mail-order laker'u

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Doctors at Their Old Trick
One doctor in our hospital (for
tuberculosis) says ultra-violet rays

who has lung tuberculosis, but is
good for tuberculHis of other parts
of the body. Another of our statf
doctors says such rays do help
lung tuberculosis. I'loase give us

"We',!!, have.': to- takea ride ir a
one of these: veLv' early trains,'
the LUtlitf iBJftvki Clock 'itd.d the
children nnd
they were simply
delighted at the
idea.
. They were not
afraid of a rail
road ! They were
not afraid of n
locomotive : that
drew a train
along tracks. But
the people were
making great fun
of George Steph
enson and his lo
comotive. Thoi were snjyjng that the parks
from the. train would set .all the
ho.useflre alung the route. They
vere suyJng tha.t tho boilers would
ail burst njid kill everyone.
"Aren't they silly to be so fright
ened?" John asked.
"You must remember that , I've
turned the time back about 100
years and all this is very new nnd
very strange to most people," the
Little Black Clock said. , .
John ,and Peggy and the .Little
Black Clock took a ride on one
of the trains now opened to the
public, and they watched the peo
ple who stood along the roadside
to view- the new railroad train.
It seemed so strange to them
that people watched a train ns
though it were the most curious
sight in the world. .t
And now the Clock turned the
time ahead a little further. The
railroad had become a busy one
and other roads were being built
and people were using them both
for carrying pVoduce and for trav
eling. ;
Whenever they saw trains flj
ing so quickly through the country
now they would think of that little
care of the-cows and saying,
"I want to be an engineer when
I grow older."
"It s too bad," John said, "that
when people are so clever and
smart that so many others make
fun of them and say their Inven
tions are no good until a long tlmo
afterward."
"That's so," ngreed tho Little
Black Clock. "But that Is the way
It always is. We Clocks know that."
