OLD OSCAR BREAKS LOOSE , “Old Oscar” Pepper, the ne senator from Pennsylvania made his maiden speech in the senate a few days ago. Senator Pepper succeeded th late Boies Penrose, by appointment from tjhe governor of Pennsylvania. - The republican newspapers have told us that Pepper is a great statesman. He demonstrated it by shooting off his bazoo for the first time in the defense of the odoriferous Newberry. ' Criticizing'the democrat senators for refusing to stand for Newberry, Old Oscar declared that they voted to oust the Michigan fraud “like a flock of sheep.” y It is a matter of history that a jury composed entirely of republicans heard the evidence against Newberry in the trial at Grand Rapids, in which he was charged with stealing the election. They voted unanimously for conviction, “like a flock of sheep,” to lisp the words of the Pennsylvania nincompoop who is wearing the lihbgans of the lately deceased but almost frogotten Boss Penrose. Pepper will go be lore the primaries in Pennsylvania this year and ask the republicans of that state to nominate him for a six gt'ar term. No senator who voted to seat Newberry, the receiver ()jf‘stolen goods, should be allowed to remain in the senat ea minute Ippger than his present term. This applies to the Senator New, of Indiana, who voted to seat the Michigan man who bribed his way into the senate. »;* There will be a mighty cleaning and purging in the senate this year. The stench of the Newberry case, alone, is enough to ttjrn righteous men and women away from such a grdup in horror, no body of men who condone such rank thievery and corruption will be permitted to retain the honored name of senator. The democrats did not vote like sheep. They voted like men possessed of a sense of honor. What can be said of New, Watson and the : balance of the gang who voted for Newberry?

Science Seeking Means For Building Better Human Race Finds New Element Experiments Revive Cur Tried by Hippocrates Early Days of Medicine —Common Fresh Ye Treatment Improves Out of 76 Patients

Hospitals.

Medical research wending its devious way through the paths of science on the trail of remedies for the ills of the human race has found a new health food in the lowly cake of fresh yeast familiar to every housewife. Hospital tests have proved that the compressed veast that can be found on th.counter of every corner grocery possesses remarkable curative prop erties. The ailing man or woman ran now step down to the grocery store and for a few cents provide himself or herself with a tonie Millions of Americans are eatmg yeast, and the medical nrofession has put the stamp of its approval on fresh yeast as a health food. For some time many Americans have been eating yeast, and the medical profession decided that it was desirable to know just what they were eating it for. and what the results were. Experts working at the Laboratory of Physiological Chemistry of Jefferson Medical College. Philadelphia, the .Philadelphia General Hospital and the Roosevelt Hospital in New York undertook a series of experiments with the common tinfoil-wrapped yeast cake and they developed startling results. They definitely decided that yeast is

a health food.

The experiments were made by Philip B. Hawk. Ph. D.. Frank Crozer Knowles. M. D.. and Martin E. Rehfuss. M. t).. in collaboration tvith Olaf Rergheim. Ph. D., Rodell Fishhook. M D.. Sc. D. Clarence A. Smith. Ph. D.. and Robert A. f.ichtenthaler, M. S. The doctors in their report traced the use of yeast ns a cure back to the days of Hippocrates, and found that during the

middle ages the monks used it as a

medicine to combat the plague.

In their experiments the doctors treated 76 hospital patients, suffering with various diseases, with common fresh yeast administered internally, and in 66 of these cases they noted improvement or a cure.

In their report they raid:

“In many of the cases which came under our observation, the yeast treatment caused an imppovefnent in the general hysieal -con dition of the patient quite unassociated with the improvement of the symptoms associated with the par-

ticular disease in question.”

So the medical verdict has been rendered and the American people

can eat fresh yeast for health.

Leaders of the two well known republican factions in Delaware County are now engaged in the highly meritorious task of trying to get each other into the penitentiary. Once more we step to the front to implore these impassioned feudists to restrain themselves. It is perfectly natural fo rdogs and cats and bad little boys to bite, fight and scratch, but it is extremely undignified for leaders of the grand old party to step out in the open and kick each other on the shins. Far be it from the Post-Democrat to be the first to declare that many republicans, possibly a majority of them, ought not to be in jail, but we deplore the unseemly strife, We have noticed that when republican politicians get mad at each other they usually begin to tell the truth, and when you get the average republican politician to tell the. t-’uth about the Vest of the republicans, you are sure going to get an carfull.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

T7"Te

While the fact is naturally unpalatable to the old guardsters, Albert Jeremiah Beveridge is the only Indiana republican statesman that is really known, or who. has got anywhere, outside of the boundaries of the BoosierXsttite. Bev&’idge' ir A' fl-ational we might say, an international, character. His bpponenl, Senator Harry New. A merely a precinct politician who. bobbed up at liMyhoplus some time ago and was heaved mtoihe senate by the republican stand pat machine, • with orders to keen his mouth shut, look wise and vote as he was ordered to 4 vote. Beveridge is not what one would call a lovable character. > He. is. arrogant, opinioned, self centered, and has lost some of the ^progressive pep of his more youthful days, but he is his own man, and will express his own views both in the senate and elsewhere, instead of the ready made views and theories which the machine manufactures for its votaries. There is nothing strange about the fact that the candidacy ox Beveridge presents a strange and overpowering facination for the progressive, anti-machine element of the republican party. It will be a great battle and the.eyfcn of the nation will be on Indiana. It will be a battle between New,'who is known rpore because of the broad brim, black felt hat which he wears, summer and winter, rather than for his stat'esmanshin, and Beveridge, who would retain his individuality if arrayed in breech clout ahd war paint. It will be a titanic struggle between progress and reaction, and reaction is mighty unpopular these days. How can the dear old light company pay interest on the stock it is offerhfg to the public, unless its rates for street lighting in Muncie are increased one third ?Our heart just simply bleeds over the woes of the persecuted public utilities in Muncie. Let us all raise our eyes heavenward: and thank an allwise providence that, while God seems to have forgotten the city of Indianapolis, there "are five men there on the public service commission, to whom the persecuted light, water, phone and gas companies beseech tor air, confident that they hsve only o ask, in order to receive.

Next Wednesday is the birthday anniversary of the first president of the United States—the birthday of THe man who made the republic and established the most enduring principles It is worth while as this historical date comes arotmd to ponder over the life of George Washington, his principles a:nd T high ideals and his teachings. Washington was of a widely different type of character from Lincoln, whose birthday was celebrated Sunday and yet many of their principles were the same. Washington was a revolutionary leader, a quiet and dignified man. He was the richest*man of the 13 original colonies, very cpn$)$^vative and from what one reads of him he would hardly have fyeen expected to become a revolutionary leader. Yet to him largely was due the great victory which lead to the foundation of this great republic. From his life can be learned the lessons of wisdom, virtue, confidence and patriotism. Washington believed great possessions brought great obligation, that an “able bodied” man owed a debt to others, he had an unswerving sense of duty, and a conscience which risked everything he held .dear for th(k-cause he championed. His character cannot be tpo closely studied in these trying times if democracy is to govern the world. James Russell Lowell, whose birthday anniversary comes on the same date as that of Washington sums up fully Ris character

v hen he says of him:

Sc Idler and statesman, rarest unison; High-poised example of great duties done. Simply as breathing, a world’s honors worn As life’s indifferent gifts to all men born;

t The people of Delaware County must not forget that the superintendent of the county infirmary, whose “gross extravagancy'” w as condemned by a republican state board of accounts, is also the county chairman of the republican party, and an aspir9 bt for continued leadership of his party in Delaware County. Under his management it has cost Delaware Countv three times as much to keep the inmates as it did in 1917, when the democrats were in control. Have not the people of Delaware County had enough of the “lack of judgment” and “gross extravagance” of the republican county administration, using the words of the state board of accounts?

BAD HABIT GROWING

Medical and other authorities estimate that between 1,000, 000 and 2,000,000 people in the United States are victims of the narcotic-drug habit. And the pity of it is that the habit seems to be growing. Newspapers'carry stories of parties or orgies in which drugs play an important part and of what lengths a victim will go to secure drugs. A House resolution provides for a selection of. a committee to inquire into Narcotic addiction and says “many of these unfortunates are ex-soldiers, ex-sailors and ex • marines, members of the American expeditionary forces in the late world war” and goes further by saying “ttje situation arising from the existence of so large a number of narcotic-drug users has created a menace to physical and moral .welfare of the United States” and surely this would be true if conditions are such as reported. Laws have been passed to prevent sale of drugs, violators of this law have been punished, yet it is claimed the menace is growing. Even in communities where there have been no voilations reported and addicts are few seemingly it would pay to be watchful and punishment dealt with no gentle hand.

party voted for Harry L. because thdy “felt satisfied” that in the event of hi.r election dry legislation would have about the same chance as a snow ball being froze to death down about the equator. Regardless of these “peculD arities’’ the Anti- Saloon League exercised their same old style maneuvers by “not interfering with the chances

of the Republican candidate.” The history of politics proves con-

clusively that both parties have always been very considerate of the wishes of Wayne B. Wheeler and James Whit? as to what kind of a candidate should

be placed before the people.

In the past many good old staunch Democrats have been members of the Anti-Saloon League. These s a m e Democrats have awakened to the fact that the hard earned dollars they have “kicked in” to the coffers of the league have been spent to elect the Republican candidates. Yes sir, Wayne B. would see that the Democrats were dictated to and scared into submission apparently like the G. O. P. Yes, “apparently” because the Republican

party would receive their support.

not meddle in the political end of it by dictating KKK to the various prospective candidates what they should

clo and not do.

During the Democratic convention i'n San Francisco Wayne B. Wheeler was one of the first one’s in the “baldheaded row” to see that no beer and light wine plank was inserted into the paity platform, although, the next morning after November the second 1920 we had elected a man to the Presidency that owned stock in a brewery just to boost his home town— a man as Governor who had the solid support of the liberal element of the state and a man as United States Senator who was elected Governor of this said state—once upon a time—by running a dry platform and at the same time making wet speeches where it was wet. As to yet we have not seen any evidence where by the AntiSaloon tried to prevent this result. Jim Faulkner says, “Get for home Bruno” that’s what happened to the Democrats on this “never-to-be-for-gotten” day. The measurements had been taken and each one had his

“shroud” on.

The clock still “ticks upon the wall” for Charles H. Dale, “Democratic” Postmaster of Troy. Our New Postmaster has not arrived but is expected most any day. He has been selected, Ahey say, but.no doubt the juicy plum, so long -delayed, has been marked “don’t open ‘till Christmas” and is still on its way from around the porner. A great many Postoffice appointments have been “humanized” by Postmaster General, Will H. Hays, but in this case this method of inoculation didn’t seem “to take.” Way back in October the local Postoffice was declared vacant but “Charlie” is there—still on the pay-roll and both feet upon the floor. “So came the autumn, and passed, and the winter,—yet Gabriel came

not.”

Yes, the fertile fields of Old Miami have given forth their bountiful crops of Alfalfa; the Colonel has extracted the “tonic” there-frqm; yet, the Wooden Horse of old has come not to enter the g)reat gates of our fair and wealthy Trojan City.

The size of these beets varied some what, of. course, but they were all of a very good size ranging from tho size a tea CU P to the size of a wash tub. When they had a successful year they raised ’em as large as two wash tubs. This “beet” story reminded one of the boys present when he visited a ? actor y where they made kettles. These kettles were similar in shape to the kettles used for making apple butter and for rendering lard in the present day but were much larger in size making it necessary to haul one at a time upon a one-horse dray from the factory to the railway station. As a rule these kettles measured from 8 to 10 feet across the top and from 4 to

5 feet in depth.

Of course, the boys pronounced these kettles very large and one asked why they “mad ’em so big?” The narra- j tor said they were made to “cook those big beets in.” Well, it was necessar
