THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1922.
According to a newspaper story
sent out from Raleigh a tew days
ago, Congressman Claude Kitchln of
North Carolina thinks the Democrats
will be able to organize the
next house of representatives notwithstanding
the (Republican majority
of 17 which must be overcome.
Mr. Kitchin doubtless has concluded
that a considerable number of Western
Kvpublleans will refuse to bup
port the caudidate the old line Republicans
nominate for speaker and
* that these Republicans will come to
. the uid of the Democrats in the election.'
Since the congressional elections
on November 7 the statement
has been sent broadcast over the
country that not one of the 11 Wisconsin
members of the house, all of
whom ure classified as Republicans,
except Berger, Socialist, will vote
with the reactionary Republicans of
the East in organizing the house. It
this statement should prove true and
the Democrats are able to induce
til A Wlsrnnaln mom Kauh

their candidates for speaker, oi
course the Republican nominee will
be ^iaten. But however much these
- Wisconsin members dislike their
Eastern Kebublican brethren, it is a
sate conclusion that they dislike the
Democrats even more and that when
the time comes for action they will
be found in line with the regular'
Republican organization. It is doubtful,
after all, whether it would prove
beneficial to the Democratic party to
be able to organize the .house In
such circumstances. The Republicans
will ha,ve a majority of the
members and they are entitled to the
speakership- Whatever they ^lackec.
of hanging themselves during \thc
last two years will be forthcoming
during the next two years if they
are given sufficient rope. It would
be shortsighted policy on the part o
the Democrats to withhold the rope
The Wall Street Journal the other
day told an interesting story about
the psychology of selling that will
bear repeating. Business was' dull
in one of the copper mining districts
in 190? and one of the mining combo
nies wanted to sell a big amoun
of Btock. It was highly necessary to
make the sale. If the corporation wa.
to keep its head above water. The
general manager gave a party tc
which he invited a number of hi
rich friends. At opportune times he
^ . would apparently -give.a friendly tip
to each member of the party. He explained
that he would like to see his
best woman friend make a little pin
money, but she must first promise
not to tell her husbamT'anything
about the deal. Of coure each woman
felt highly honored and forthwith
promised to keep the plan a profound
secret. The copper man said he would
sell bis woman friend one share of
tnining stock upon which she could
make 1,000 per cent, but that she
muBt not tell her husband, lest ue
Cobble up all the stock. Scores of
women were told the same story and
- each promised "to do as asked. By
noon the next day the husband of
practically every woman at the party
had purchased stock in the mining
concern and the anxious officers had
moved over to Basy street.
Soap and water make the best dls
Infoctant. If ?ou are in doubt, read
the following quotation from the report
from a competent civic health
commission: "The city health department
has stopped using fbrmaldehyde
to disinfect homes where communicable
diseases have been reported. We
have found soap and water is best."
The information is especially timely,
just on the eve of winter, when communicable
diseases are most prevalent
and dfsinfecting W likely to be
a problem In any home. Scrupulous
cleanliness in the person and for the
home and ail of its appliances is a
better safeguard agatqst infection
and the spread Of disease then sll the
high priced remedies. Soap and waH

A favorite plea of those who would
fasteu the evils of the' liquor trade
upon' the people la that to abolish It Is
to infrlge upon the liberty of the individual,
says The Christian Science
Monitor. "Shall I not drink what I
like?" inquires, truculently, many a
man who knows perfectly well that
in the relations of orderly, civilized
society no man may take what
he likes, do what he likes, or even be
what he likes if taking, doing or being
interferes with the rightful comfort,
prosperity, or equal liberty of
others. Liberty to make a menace of
oneself, or even a nuisance, is not
liberty within the proper acceptance
of the term, for it implies the refusal
to the rest of the community of freedom
to protect themselves against
the meace, or to abate the nuisance,
as the caBe may be- "-Where the
spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty,"
and the spirit of the Lord is
not found in the saloon.
The right of the community to
abate the use of- intoxicating liquor,
to regulate it or to prohibit it altogether,
has been (ftNruied legally and
politically at every stage by which
the people* of the United States finally
reached the determination to abolTsh
its manufacture, sale, and use altogether.
When saloons were merely
forced to take out a license, it was
upon the theory that the business
was one that should be subject to the
constant supervision and control 01
the State. The "high license" idea
proceeded from the conviction that
ihe bus'ness was one so perilous to
good order that its followers siioulu
no made to pay heavily toward the
police costs which their trade made
accessary. There was no talk aboui
liberty being involved when tho sa.oon-keeper
was not made as free to
go about his business us a milkman
jj* a newsvender. And then came local
option in towns by which tlurstj
dwellers in residence districts were
denied tho privilege ol' having saloons
.n their immediate vicinage. The
courts decided that was no invasion
of the right of either the saloonkeeper
or his patron. New York city
passed an ordinance by which only
iwo comers of interstecting streets
could be occupied by saloons. The
gross invasion ol the liberty pf the
.andlords of other corners to round
out the circle of temptation was upheld
by the courts.
Nowadays, it may be noted in passng,
the saloon has disappeared from
all four corners, and the landlords
and the passers-by profit alike by
the new freedom from the everpresent
lure of the groggery.
And so from local option in towns,
- o county aiul State prohibition, and
..nally to national prohibition, etfojy
torward step for the protection of the
tome, tor the salvation of the victim,
.rout the removal of temptation from
.he young, has been met with a protest
that liberty was being infringed
<l>ou and in every case the courts
have decided tlie protest not well
founded.
Whose liberty suffers? The liberty
of the man who sells maddening
.leiiors to-ruin the lives of his victims?
The* ltborty of the man who
uses them in excess to the wreckage
jf his manhood, the beggary of his
family, and often to the point of
crime? The liberty of the devptee
of "light wines and beer" who cannot
deny gratification of a depraved
taste even that the world may be
saved from the Innumerable woes
and tragedies which all history
shows to follow in the train of alcoA
