Fighting to Revive the Saloon
THERE is going to be a ternfio fight on liquor control in
the special session of the legislature. The old liquor inter
ests are already organized and pulling wires to line up the legis
lators against the adoption of the plan perfected by Governor
Meier's state committee.
UNDER the guise of "home rule", rights of the common
people, and down with bureaucracy, a well financed and
aggressive drive against state liquor control is being waged.
Unless organization is MET by organization, and the real friends
of prohibition repeal, gather together, behind the state commit
tee, the exceedingly valuable work this committee has done, will
also go for naught.
ALTHOUGH the committee program may not be perfect in
every detail, or above improvement, as subsequent experi
ence reveals its defects; it DOES
which must be retained, if the
is not to return, and the abuses
not to bu succeeded by even greater ones under repeal.
These fundamentals are state control; the sale of strong
liquors only in state stores, in
sumption on the premises; practically unrestricted sale of beer
and light wines, and the right
hibit the sale of hard liquors, within their borders if a majority
of the voters so desire.
To prevent state control, allow the free sale of hard liquors
under local control alone, would
liquor for PRIVATE PROFIT, which, regardless of what it
might be called, would bring with it all the evils and abuses
of the old time saloon.
This cry of home rule is all
qpuntics of the state would be
profits of the state system, the
be withheld, nd the obvious
or a polyglot system where every community had a different
system of liquor control, would
Once allow either different cities in this state, or different
establishments WITHIN the cities, to compete for the liquor
trade, and its profits, and the entire liquor business will be back
where it was fifty years ago.
TTIERE is another point. In a new experiment like this, a
country nominally dry for a decade and a half, suddenly
becoming wet over night, so to speak, it is highly important
to go slowly. It is important NOT to swing at once, from one
extreme to the other, but to move conservatively at tho outset,
adopt a policy of trial and error, and allow the final solution
to bo tho result of cumulative, progressive EXPERIENCE.
The plan proposed by the state committee is not new, it
closely resembles the system adopted in Canada, and conforms
in a remarkable degree with the recommendations of the Rocke
feller committee, which handed down its conclusions at approxi
mately tho same time.
Whether one agrees with all the provisions of the Meier
committee or not, there is no question that the report represents
weeks of research and conscientious work on the part of a Broun
of very intelligent and public spirited citizons. The only sen
sible thing to do, therefore, is to adopt that report at least as
a starting point, and then work the problem out, gradually
from there on.
DUT MAKE NO MISTAKE I This will never be done, unless
the right thinking people of this state get up on their
hind legs and make a fight for it. Only ten days before the
special election opens, and the money and the organization
are all on the other side I '
Its
jlATAURICE SPATZ, well known local orchardist, has a very
" interesting communication in this paper on his experi
ence selling Boso pears in Omaha, Nebraska.
Mr. Spats came to the same conclusion that this paper came
to many years ago,
Financial succo' r) in the pear business depends mainly upon
two things: First, getting the pear to the retailer in good con
dition, and second, informing the consumer of that fact.
Number one has to do with personal contacts with the re
tailer, by someone who knows pears and is interested in their
profitable marketing; Number two with persistent and attract
ive ADVERTISING.
A system that will bring about these two things will, in
good times or bad, put the pear industry upon a permanently
prosperous basis, and we don't believe anything else will.

A normal person at rest can take

But If there Is
some Impairment

the efficiency of

the time the In
dividual can hold

shortened. If It
falls below 20
seconds he should leave a note' ask
ing St. Peter to call a doctor.
Now and then some one solemnly
assures me that although afflicted
with tins and that serious malady
he can readily hold his bresth fifty
seconds. Whst of It? I knew a
man who was so sick he was dead
and he had been holding his breath
for hours when I gracefully bowed
myself out.
Some students In California, having
nothing much the matter and noth
ing else to do, held their breath for
more than 13 minutes. But they pre
pared for the stunt by several min
utes of forced breathing first, to get
the carbon dioxide content of the
blood and the air in the lungs away
up, and then filled the lungs with
pure oxygen Just before they began
holding their breath.
Anybody can. by or two min
utes of moderately forced breathing

open mouth snd nose, and slightly
forced exhalations, at slightly more

Accumulation of carbon dioxide,
and not diminution of the oxygen, in

It la a great advantage If instead of
air the victim can be made to breathe
a mixture of air or oxygen with from
0 to 10 per cent of carbon dioxide.

The chief purpose of the bellows

THE BREATH
sbsorptlon of oxygen by "deep breath
ing." Any and every such spurt
or deeper or faster breathing la in
evitably compensated by a folllowlng
period of shallower or alower breath'
lng, even by a period of no breath-
lng, so that the normal level of oxy
gen and carbon dioxide In the blood
Is regained In a few moments. Al
most any other exercise than forced
breathing will more certainly Increase
the absorption of oxygen In the body
and tbe metabolism rate.
It la best to try to forget all pre
conceived notions about the way to
breathe, and especially the teachings
of "physical culture" charlatans and
the like. No matter whether you

Is buttermilk good for a baby with

Answer In certain circumstances
It may be good. Buttermilk is gen
erally a wholesome, healthful bever
age for any one who likes It. It is
Just half bb nutritious aa fresh aweet

It (they are the natural sourers of

Immunization.
I have hearsay evidence of several
cases where children give toxtn-antl-toxln.
Instead of becoming Immune
to diphtheria, became more auscep-
tlble . . . Mrs. A. C. E.
Answer I can't conceive what auch
evidence would be. It requires per
haps three months for the full lra
munlty to develop, sfter the toxin
antitoxin haa been given. Sometimes
a child contracts diphtheria ahortly
after the first or second weekly dose,
and auch casea lead to auch misun
derstanding. By all means give every
child who ,1s not already Immune
the benefit of toxin-antitoxin or tox
oid Immunization against diphtheria
before the child entera school or as
soon thereafter as may be.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
HERE'S a hot one for you:
The government of the United
States, which Is hiring farmers to kill
their pigs In order to reduce existing
and prospective over-production of
meat. Is feeding Its CCC camps ex
tensively on canned beef IMPORTED
from South America!
If you can beat that, you're good.
THE government! spending vast
sums In an effort to increase
prices of farm products, including
beef. Excess of supply over demand
Is the reason why prices are low.
Every pound of beef brought Into this
country from abroad adds to the ex
isting over-supply and still further
depresses the price.
And yet the government, while it
Is doing all this, feeds its own em
ployees on Imported beef I
I WERE's another good one, related
to this writer last summer:
The chief of a big government de
partment, located here on the coast,
observing that blue eagles were going
up In the windows all around,
thought It might be a good idea to
have a blue eagle In HIS window. So
he wired Washington for permission
to sign the agreement.
Here is the answer that came back:
"Can't afford it. It would add too
much to cost."
-
GOVERNMENT, of course, is a
mighty good thing. We couldn't
possibly do without it. And ours ,1s
probably as good as any government
anywhere.
But government does a lot of funny
things. '
QPEAKING of government brings up
the subject of organizations de
signed to Influence the government
in one way or another.
There are thousands of them in
this country most of them existing
for the primary purpose of getting
dues out of easy marks in order to
provide good jobs and traveling ex
penses for the smart organizers.
It's a great racket.
IJUT a new one has Just been form
ed to whose purposes this writer
can say "Amen" although as a mat
ter of principle, or perhaps of thrift,
he will decline to contribute dues.
These purposes are pretty well set
forth In this opening paragraph In Its
announcement pamphlet:
"America's Interest are basically
different from those of other nations.
The world has many problems to solve.
We must start by solving our own."
That Is to say, let the rest of the
world mind Its business and we'll
MIND OURS.
THAT, In substance. Is what Wash
Incrtsin tnM it wVin in hi. r.r.
well address, he advised against en
tangling alliances. Every time we
have followed his advice we have done
well by ourselves, and every time we
have FAILED to follow it we have
got into trouble.
11TE got all excited over Cuba's
" wrongs, and went to war with
Spain.
As a result of that war, we acquired
a guardianship over Cuba and actual
ownership of the Philippines, Cubiyj
and Philippine sugar and Philippine
coooanut oil are wrecking our own
producers, and In spite of all we've
done for them both Cubans and Fili
pinos regard us as oppressors and lose
no opportunity to express their low
opinion of us.
llfK got excited again and went
" into the world war, to "make
the world safe for democracy."
Democracy Is now in greater danger
than for a century, with dictators
scattered all over Europe, and we
haven't a friend among the nations
for whom we fought, bled and died.
They borrowed money from ua by
the billions while the borrowing was
good, and now they twiddle their fin- 1
gers at us and tell us to get it if we
can.
Then they add a few Insulting re
marks about U-cle Shylock.
pHIS new organisation calls Itself
the Committee for America Self
contained. It'a a grand Idea, and this writer,
for one. Is all for It so long, that Is,
as he doesn't have to put up dues to
provide 'me body else with salary and
traveling expense.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11A chslky.
drizzly dsy. A good one for pondering
the value of friendships. Ten treas
ured friends three last year have
passed beyond
mortal vision the
past five years.
Subtract ten
ataunch friends
from a ratlW
cloistered life and
you have an acn
lng bleakness.
The astonishing
angle of my
friendships has
been tolerance.
That is the key
stone of sll my
undying human
tics tolerance. Few have it. Noxt
comes that utterly dt&armlng naivete
frankness. Will Hogg exemplified
the charm of candor more than any
friend I ever had.
He believed and practised there
should be no evasion between friends.
If you were his friend and invited
him to dinner he might razor blunt
ly: "No thanks I'd rather not." Right
ly, he did not feel that what seemed
to others a stubborn creak needed
oiling In sincere friendship.
I have two friends on a world tour
together. Irregularities of travel hon
ed them to a keen edge. One day In
Rio one barked to the other: "I'm
getting sick of you and you of me."
They agreed to go separate .ways two
weeks and Join up again. A flimsy
friendship could not ride through
that.
One of the reasone why I have of
ten tweaked the log-rolling Algonquin
crowd Is because of their vicious
back-bltlng. I have heard some of
them say the most despicable and
caustic things about the others. And
the next time I would see them they
would be all but sitting In each oth
er's laps. My faults add up a grand
total, but hyprocracy ia not one of
them. If I don't like a person I re
fuse to speak. That at least gives him
an Idea.
A truism about friendship la this:
Firmness and age, as with trees, only
flourish In good soil. That's why
crooks never remain pals long. Thin
nest friendships are gushlest. And
bustling geniality Is always unstable.
Look at France!
Enduring friendships sre bulwarked
In the Ruth and Naomi saga: "Whith
er thou goest, etc." In life's unalter
able selfishness this Is seldom attain
ed. I do not wish to be misconceived.
I haven't a surplus of such loyalty.
But It does exist.
This Is what I mean. In Paris one
time Lee Olwell took mi to dinner at
Foyot's with the late Dr. George Dix
on, long the personal physician to
Plerpont Morgan and E. H. Herriman.
Dr. Dixon In the closing years of lite
transplanted himself in foreign soli,
away from things dear to him and the
city he loved, to minister to a college
mate of whom he was fond and
who could not be moved.
