A PREMIERS PREDICAMENT
There is said still to be fully a mil-
lion unemployed in Groat Britain.
And that is one of the reasons why
some think the labor cabinet headed
by Ramsay MacDonald is due for the
toboggan within the next month or so..
Here are others:
The labor government is being as-j
sailed from within and from without.
The liberals led by Lloyd George arc
attacking MacDonald for what is called
a “fake” treaty with Russia. There:
are really two treaties—one commercial;
with a promise of trade credits to thcj
soviet government the other more or j
less general having to do with Brit- j
ish claims and debts against Russia j
that nation admitting liability and
promising to pay after the amount shall
have been fixed. The treaties are now
before parliament for ratification or
rejection.
Should the parliament’s action he re-1
jection the proper thing for the pre-
micr would he to resign and “go to the ^
country" for vindication.
Then the labor party itself seems
to he split. The radical ami revolu- j
tionary element charge that the pre-
mier has betrayed the party by work-
ing with the liberals and conservatives
abandoning the socialist program.
And finally there is all that fuss 'Vcr
the presentation of an automooilc by
Sir A. Grant England's “biscuit kic*'.p'.
to the premier and the sett'iig aside o:
a certain income to defray t.ie ixpense
of its operation. Following »h:s j.crion
it seems the aforementioned “biscuit
king" was knighted.
So there are many who believe that
MacDonald is slated for a fall—he and
bis government. And who then? Lloyd
George ?

WHY THE SLAl'GHTER?
Nineteen hundred rattle were slaugh-
tered in Harris county the other day in
an effort to stamp out the “foot and
mouth" disease. Nearly ns many more
have been ordered killed.
The killing of these fine animals—
they were all blooded stock—is an ad-
mission on the part of the government
agents that they are not sure of any
other method of eradicating the disease.
It probably is not fair to make the
comparison hut one cannot help hut
contrast the methods employed in com-
batting disease among human beings
and those used in fighting dread dis-
eases among animals.
In cases of contagious diseases among
us human beings isolation for treat-
ment is the method. When a dread dis-
ease breaks out among cattle the dis-
eased and infected are slain. Isn’t it
possible to isolate animals and treat
them or are our veterinaries a hun-
dred years behind the times?
ft must be admitted of course that
diagnosing a human disease and an ani-
mal disease are two different things.
A human being under ordinary condi-
tions. ia able to throw some light on
his case and this often enables the
physician to make a correct diagnosis.
The brute can only speak dumbly—
thropgh ita actions. Veterinaries have
that handicap and it is a big one. Yet
every day they are treating animals for
yai maladies and curing them and
it would seem that something could be'
done with victims of the “foot and
mouth” disease without resorting to the
extreme measure of wholesale slaugh-
ter.
Suggestion for a song title: “I did
not raise my boy to be a thug.”
Trouble with hobbies is you arc likely
to ride them to death.
Wise Australia determined to pre-
serve its government by majority re-
cently passed a law by which any j\us_
tralian citizen who fails to vote will be
fined $10.
If such a law had been in force in
our country in 1020 fines totaling more
than 250 million dollars would have
been collected. Over 25 million Amer-
ican citizens jieglected to go to the
polls.
On the other hand—
If Americans were paid $10 apiece
to vote mighty few would stay away
from the -polls. Yet failure to vote
may cost us all a lot more than $10
apiece- in the form of inefficient gov-
ernment high taxes and waste of pub-
lic funds and wealth.
If for no other reason vote in the
interests of your wallet.
Vote without fail! Vote without fail!
Vote without fail!
YOUR vote is needed! YOUR vote is
needed! YOUR vote is needed.
