When Pres. Taft promoted Justice
Edward D. "White to be Chief Justice
of our Supreme Court, be was criticised by tbe radical element in his
own partv for so doing. ' Mr. Taft
was a lawyer and cboee Mr. While
purely from tbe legates andpoint.
Time bas demonstrated that he chose
wisely.        -  •
And now Mr. Taft i» almost certain to be Mr. White's successor and
he sviil be a most worthy one. Aa
President Mr. Taft did not cut a very
briUient fitzure. The duties of tbat
office were not in his line. He ebcuid
have been on the bench, not ia the
presidential chair. An r the head of
onr highest eoart, he will rans with
the eminent men woo have occupied

Memorial Bay is peculiarly ^ an American i astitution. It is a festival
unique in the annals of the nations. It is the day we set apart in memory of
the dead and in honor of the living. , The ranks of those in whose behalf it was
first observed grow thinner year by year. The time will not be very long until
these honored veterans of the Civil War wil] be but a memory, but not, let us
hope, a fading memory. * Let this generation and the generations yet to come
never forget what they owe to the men "who lefJ their peaceful pursuits and went
forth in the name of liberty and justice to,do cattle for the Union cause. They
acheived their purpose. They saved the Union. They established liberty and
justice, and we today are enjoying the 'fruits of their labors and devotion a,nd ^

Washington. : May 20.—Beer has
not been recognized as a medicine
by the medical profession in three
or four decscdes. Dr Harvey W.
WiJey, pure food expert, told the
bouse judiciary committee Friday at
bearings on the Volstead bill to prevent sale of beer to tbe sick* ... •
"There are no medical properciee-
in beer, whatever may be said of it
as a beverage," Dr. Wiley declared..
"Tbe nearest thing to it is malt extract, which is so made as practically to exclude even a trace ot
alcohol. I never saw a prescription
wbicb contained beer as a remedial
agent. It is solely regarded^as a
beyerage.
"The man wbo drinks too much
beer is apt to develop obesity and
obesity is recognized as a disease.
It is better to be ^tinder normal,
weight, tban over".
' "How about home brew?"
Wiley was asked, y.
"It's tbe poorest brew and
most dangerous in the world",
replied. "If you are going to ha\ q
beer, it onght to be made seie: --
tifically." .    '
"How about; home made liquorC *•
Chairman Volstead asked.
" "Well, co get that you must bave
a still. I see where they arrested
a Harvard professor for making it,
which shows that the low-brow
habit bas been picked • op by the
high-browe." ^ ±     -j
