Show , ! GOOD FOR CHIEF WHITE. ;f i EVJEN the most carping critics of contemporary morals, have hadl j very little to offer but commendation for Chief White's attitude j ( on the distribution of the alcoholic evidence in his possession in re v j lation to the influenza epidemic. ' , The large quantity o f whiskey taken from the various bootleg- Vis 'i gers was to have been destroyed, but in the nick of time, physicians f and others, even ministers of the gospel, protested because of "the n8H great good that could be done with it in effecting curse for the flu. So 'tfw though the courts and some others are against the practice, he is dis- M tributing it on a reputable physician's prescription, with a double ?a check to show that it is being used exclusively by people who are J trying to get well. . ds It is one of the best of a lot of good things that Chief "White has , $3 done. It has taken some courage with no help from the spineless 'M dailies, but his action has saved a lot of good lives, and those who 'j have benefited by it, and every other citizen -who thinks will com- J mend the chief. Whiskey is more or less of a preventative and in- $! valuable in effecting a cure, and that there should be any question , as to whether it be destroyed or given to the sick at a critical time l j like this is absurd. . Parley White did exactly the right thing, irrespective of the stat- I utes, and is entitled to the highest praise. Only there are a lot of us . I who had the flu who are sorry we got well before he opened his heart. ' I ' F J |
