^ Pulling a Log Apart.
Prohibition at Work.
I iroil of lloing Poor.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
^--- j
Sound amplifiers indicate that
Moyd Collins still lives in his prison
rave. Men violently interested in
that case say “it’s too bad.” Wo
men are not content to say “it’s
too bad,” Mrs. Emmons Blaine,
one of the best women in Chicago,
or anywhere else, after consulting
"ith Dr_ McArthur and obtaining
the permission of the Collins fam
ily, sent two doctors by flying ma
chine to save the man if possible.
It was explained to her that the
idea of having a doctor crawl into
the g'vr to chloroform the man and
cut off his leg was not sound. In
■ uch cramped space everybody con
cerned. including the doctor, would
be rendered unconscious by the
anaesthetic. The’plan was to fasten
a harness to the man’s leg, and by
main force pull the leg from under
the heavy rock, the doctors treating
it immediately. If it couldn’t be
pulled from under the rock, the
leg would be pulled apart at the
knee or ankle joint and Collins
would have felt no pain, thanks to
local hypodermics in the hip.
Upheaval of the floor in the cave
made it impossible for the doctors
to reach Collins.
Returning to the Richmond
imes-Di-patch, you read about the
funeral of Juflge Sims, president of
the Virginia supreme court, dead
by his own act. One man in the
jaws of death struggles for life.
\nother, with life in his hand,
throws it away.
Next comes this, “Aged Pulaski
man kills wife and shoots himself
after drinking home concoction.”
That’s one side of the prohibition
question. Another picture of pro
hibition is presented in the news
from a northern city. Boys and
•girls of the upper high school class
are forbidden to go on driving par
t ies.
The young hovs and even girls
carry bootleg whisky with them.
That was not heard of before pro
hibition came.
You learn, also that some pros
perous ipen, with sons at college,
send regular supplies of whisky to
these sons. They say: “I know
that under present conditions my
hoy is going to drink, and 1 prefer
to have him drink whisky that won’t
'..ill him. .So 1 keep him supplied.”
You read that saving bank de
Busits in the state of New York
•done increased nearly $300,000,
000 in the past year, and are told
1 hat prohibition has a great deal to
ilo with that. You wonder w-hether
Ihe increased hank deposits do
enough good to counter-balance the
effect i^f bootleg whisky.
Mr.-. I-'. \V. Water- killed herself,
■or daughter. M>. and her son, 14,
by e -, in Washington. She wrote
t.i h w Mer : "1 ant so tired of
unh opj. so tired of strug
gling with being poor.”
If nil women “tired of being
poor and unhappy,” should commit
. uiei'l", the population would drop
considerably. It is the courage of
wnyen, defying poverty and unhap
piness. that has kept the human
race climbing upward.
"Remembering happier things,”
makes hardship unendurable, Dante
said. Tennyson repeated it.
The unfortunate woman who
killed herself had been a belle of
the “proms” at the University of
Virginia, and had married the hero
of thp university, captain of the
football team. Then came divorce,
unhappiness, poverty and suicide.
Senator MacKellar, democrat,
from Tennessee, says of the bill
that would turn Muscle Shoals over
to the power trust: “The passage
of the Underwood measure would
he the greatest calamity that has
happened to the south since the
civil war.”
Many senators know that it is so,
but if one of the biggest monopolies
wants something, you can hardly
expect the United States senate to
refus it. You can, however, ex
Anywhere in this country, at
Nome, Alaska, whether dog teams
and airplane race to fight disease,

where men race to buy real estate,
the news is strange and interesting.
This is written on the train, with
the excellent Times-Dispatch of

formation on the Muscle Shoals
affair.
Virginia may have a woman gov
ernor. The probable candidate
would be l>r. Kate Waller Barrett,
whoso address at the democratic
national convention last year called
fi»rth so great an ovation. Being
governor of a state or mayor of a
city is practically to be a house
keeper on a big scale. Women, in
politics, will bring a new, better
element to government. And most
important of all, women voting will
make men in office think about the
needs of women and children.
