WHAT’S THE ANSWER?
"The question is simple enough.
Would you put a tax on a man
who by saving increases the total
funds of investment money in the
country and so develops business,
industry, and farming, or would
you put the burden on the man
who spends it on flowers, in yacht-

permanent increase in revenue?”

Senator Newberry’s Case
Republican members of the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections, after an investigation of the election
or Senator Truman H. Newberry of Michigan, find the ad-
mitted expenditure of $188,568.08 in Newberry’s behalf
constituted no wrong.
The Democratic members, Pomerene, King and Ashurst,
recommend that Newberry’s seat be declared vacant.
The senate—having a strong party majority—doubtless
wil decide that this enormous expenditure, greater than New-
bery’s salary as a senator for more than 25 years, was per-
fectly legitimate.
The senate investigation, of course, was a farce. New-
berry did not testify. No effort was made to force the tes-
timony of witnesses familiar with the expenditures or to
obtain the financial records.
Despite Senator Newberry’s sworn statement that he tgok
no part in the campaign and these contributions and expen-
ditures were made without, his knowledge, and consent, all
evidence is to the contrary. . _ .
The senate, if it refuses to unseat him, will be deliberately
placing the interests of partisan politics above its obligations
of decency and fair play.
Zeigfeld may cut the price of
his "Follies.” Other follies remain
the same.

Off To the Moon
All aboard for the moon! Prof. Robert H. Goddard of
Clark University announces a rich man has furnished “the
necessary” and that the Goddard Rocket, sensation among ;
scientists, will be fired from the earth to the moon next
spring. ? .
Who will travel inside the rocket ?
“I have 20 applicants,” says Goddard. “All of them are
adventurers, rather than scientists.” Naturally!
Jules Verne, in 1870, published “Twenty Thousand Leagues
Under the Sea.” It was considered the wild dream of a .
visionary. In reality, it was an accurate prophecy of the
modern submarine.
In 1865, Verne published “A Trip to the Moon?’ Will it,
also, prove to be an accurate prophecy? The Goddard
Rocket will tell.
. Man unquestionably will send huge rockets to the moon.
If Goddard fails, other scientists will carry the work on to
perfection. ■ _—- t
Unquestionably, too, dare-devils will travel insd the rock-
ets. There’s always some one that will try anything.
We of today live on the threshold of an age of scientific
magic. What lies beyond can be imagined only by men like
Goddard, with his moon rocket, or Marconi with his message
from Mars.,
Sadi Lecointe, Frenchman, has just traveled nearly three
and a half miles a minute in an airplane. At that rate, as
soon as science learns hqw to counteract gravity, we could
fly to the moon in 40 days. Electricity ,sent by wireless, will
be the motive power.
• Pity we cannot live another 100 years, to see the scientific
marvels of the future.

Health departments all over
the country are now girding them-
selves for their annual battle with
the dread disease, diphtheria,
which causes more deaths in the
United States than scarlet fever,
whooping cough or, measles. It is
a distinct menace to children
despite its specific, curative agent,
antiloxin.
Diphtheria is, however, a cura-
ble. disease and to a great extent
preventable. It is one of the few
diseases for which we have a cur-
ative agent in antitoxin.
MOST i ICTIMS SAVED
Before science had discovered
and applied antitoxin, more than
half of the diphtheria cases died.
Today only one out of every eight
cases proves fatal and a great
many of thebe deaths are the re-
sult of negligence on the part of
parents to treat the cases prop-
erly in the early stages.
. It has been pretty well proved
that every case of diphtheria
• could be cured by giving the an-
titoxin during the first 24 hours
of the disease. In order that this
remedy may be administered early
in every case it is necessary for
parents or guardians of children
to call in the family physician
