A MENACE TO PEACE
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was
elected senator from the state of
Massachusetts last week. So far ho
has failed to get much consolation out
of that election. He was elected by
a minority and bis nearest opponent
only polled 8,425 votes less than did
the senator himself. The combined
vote against Lodge would have defeat
ed him by a good majority.
Mr. Lodge Is too big for his bat and
also for bis state. He directed the
slate campaign with the calm assur
ance that his name and h's fame would j
do the work. He soon found that It

ton persons over forty years of age.
that Congress to offset some of the
decidedly unfavorable and undesirable
actions that were chronicled during
the past two years.
It Is a difficult task, however, and
It Is well that the party In power has
to assume the responsibilities for all
the legislation that Is passed. It Is
sure to prove quite embarrassing in
many respects and will undoubtedly
pave the way for a change of forces
when the time comes for a readjust
ment In all national affairs.
THE PROPER THING TO DO

because It has become obnoxious to

his genius for politics, as something
not of the earth. He should
have been defeated by reason of his
partisan and totally splenetic effort to
discredit Woodrow Wilson by attack
ing him through opposition to the
League of Nations, on a point that
was totally partisan and prejudicial
and without any degree of political
merit or worth. We hope he has

will fall to trickle Into the cranium of
one, who has been hardened against
all things that be does not approve by
the continued shafts of admiration
and Inane approval that have been hla

In many respects, Mr. Lodge Is an
able man. In one respect, at least, he
is a menace to the peace of the world
and of hla country, a hard-boiled old
partisan, whose work has been the
most disastrous of any ono man in the
history of modern tlmos. He may get
consolation out or his victory, while
the world will get nothing but regret
and dangers.

Governor Edwards of New Jersey
was elected to the United States Sen
ate on a wet platform. Dr. Copeland
of Now York was elected on a similar
platform with a collaboration of anti-
Republican factions In New York and
with the aid of Tammany In the Me
tropolis.
This does not Indicate together,
with the election of eleven avowedly
wet congressmen, that prohibition has
nny change of being ameliorated or
emasculated, both probably being the
same thing In the end. There Is a
decided sentiment In the East to mod
ify the Volstead law In order to per
mit the state to regulate the sale of
wines and Ibeers as not In conflict
with the purposes of the amendment
to the National Constitution.
This sentiment, however, Is not so
strong that It Is menacing. Many peo
ple, who observe conditions carefully
and have been In close touch with the
Eastern sentiment are of the opinion
that the light wine and heor platform
will be adopted eventually and within
a short time. They are merely mistak
en. The prohibition forces are not
fighting now as they have been. They
were on the offensive before but their
position on the defensive will be much
more secure and defendable.
Light wines and beer are not as
objectionable as the open saloon and
whiskey but they are merely avenues
through which people will prostitute
the purposes and privileges of the law
to secure the contraband without so
much trouble and possibility of loss,
both of time and money. America Is
dry and dry It will be for all time be

NATIONAL CANCER WEEK
This is supposed to be Cancer
Week in the United States and it is
being fostered by various medical
societies and institutions for the pur.
poes solely of saving lives of Ameri.
can people. The staggering array of
deaths that face us as a result of
enneer are sufficient to cause a defi.
nite purpose in the lives of all public
spirited men to do their best to teach
the American people how easy it
might be to ward off the great num.
ber of deaths from this disease if it
is started in time.
The objective is to bring to all poo.
pe the need for immediate attention
to all cases that appear to be cancer,
ous. There is no hope when it has
gone too far. There Is all Borts of
hope when it has not progressed to
any material extent.
Here arc twelve known cancer
facts. They are gathered by Dr. J.
L. Campbell, Chairman of the Cancer
Commission of the Medical Associa
tion of Georgia, under arrangement
with the American Society for the
Control of Cancer, with headquarters
in New York.
1. If an early cancer is complete,
ly removed it will not return.
2. There is n time when every
cancer can be cured, for it exists in
what is known to scientific men as
“precancer. ”
3. Cancer is first a lump or sore
that “can be felt with the fingers or
seen with the eye,” or gives certain
definite warnings. If we knew how
to interpret these warnings, cancer
could be cured.
4. Nine cases out of ten do not
cause pain in the early stages. This
is unfortunate.
6. Cancer starts as the result of
long continued irritation. If irrlta.
tion is removed, cancer will not de.
velop.
6. Cancer develops at the edge of
a scar—where the scar and normal
tissue meet. If the scar is removed,
the cancer will not develop.
7. Certain definite symptoms pre.
cede every cancer, just as surely as
wind clouds precede the rain storm.
The time coming when these aymp.
toms will be heeded.
8. One hundred thousand people
In the United States are annually
afflicted with some form of cancer.
This is on the authority of the Public
Health Service.

Is over forty years of age, dies of

2. Many of these deaths are pre.
ventable, since cancer is frequently
curable. If recognized and properly
treated In its early stages. „
3. Cancer begins as a small local
growth which can often be entirely
removed by competent surgical tTeat.
ment, or, in certain external foims,
by using radium, X-ray or other meth
ods.
4. Cancer is not a constitutional
or “blood” disease; there should be
no thought of disgrace or of “here,
ditary taint” about it
6. Cancer is not a communicable
disease. It is not possible to “catch”
Cancer from one who has It.
6. Cancer is not muerited. It Is
not certain even that a tendency to
the disease is inherited. Cancer Is
so frequent that simply by the law
of chance there may be many cases
in some families, and this gives rise
to much needless worry about inheri
ting the disease.
7. The beginning of cancer Is usu
ally painless: for this reason its insi
dious onset is frequi nMv overlooked,
and Is too easily neglected. Other
danger sigiais must be recognized
and competent medical advice ob
tained at once.
8. Evei' persisting lamp In the
breast is « wsru-ig sign All eurh
lumps are by no means cancer, hnt
en inn-'ost t-ornro of the breast
may turn into rancor if selected.
9. In women continued unusual
discharge or bleeding require* the
immediate advice of a competent
doctor. The normal change of life
is not accompanied by increasing
flowing which is always snsplcious.
The retnni of flowing after It has
once stopped ehonld also be consider
ed suspicions. In men any reddish
color In the urine is very suspicions
of cancer of the bladder or kidney;
though It is also seen sometimes with
stone of the bladder or kidney. Do
not expect the doctor to tell yon
what the matter is without making
a careful physical examination.
10. Any sore that does not heal,
particularly about the mouth, lips or
tongue, is a danger signal. Picking
and irritating such sores, cracks
ulcerations, etc., or treating these
skin conditions by home remedies,
pastes, poultices, caustics, etc., Is
playing with fire. Warty growths,
moles, or other birthmarks, especial
ly those subject to constant irrita
tion, should he attended to im
mediately if they change in color or
appearance, or start to grow. Avoid,
imee of chronic irritation and re
moval of just such seemingly insig
nificant danger spots may prevent
cancer.
11. Persistent indigestion In mid.
die life, with loss of weight and
change of color, or with pain, vomi
ting, or diarrhoea, call for thorough
and competent medical advice ns to
the possibility of eternal cancer.
12. Radium is a useful and promi
sing means of treatment for some
kinds of cancer, in the hands of the
few skillful surgeons nnd hospitals
possessing sufficient quantity of this
rare and very expensive substance;
it must not be thought of as a core-
all for every form of cancer. No
medicine will cure cancer. Doctors
and institutes which advertise “cures
without the knife” play upon the
patient’s fear of operation In a way
that leads too often to the loss of
precious time, and fatal delay in
seeking competent treatment Go
first to your family physician.
13. Open warfare by open discus
sion will mean the prevention of
many needless deaths from cancer.
The common belief that cancer is
hopeless malady is partly due to the
fact cases of successful treatment
are frequently concealed by the
patient and his family while cases of
failure (too often . resulting from
delay) are apt to become common
knowledge.
14. The American Society for the
Control of Cancer is a league enlist
ing the principle agencies and Indi
viduals in the United States and
Canada who are striving to make
headway against this formidable
disease by a campaign of public
education to make wider use of pres,
ent knowledge in its prevention nnd
cure. Annual dues are $5.09 Lar.
