THiE DISSENTER
Senator Borah once said: “My high-
est claim for credit is for what I
may have helped to prevent.’’
Much is to be said in favor of hav-
ing representatives of this type or
mind in public life, especially at a
time when “There ought to be a law A
is a national anthem or hymn of hate.
Much legislation is ill conceived.
It is hastily drawn and professes to
have aims which sensible people know
can not be achieved by any form of
statute. Hence the need of men who
will apply their critical faculties to
ambitious projects. It is often of the
greatest i.;-.a.:ci to ha e nv hike! .•
of the legislature or of congress who
will not vote blindly with a party,
but will subject proposed measures
to keen analysis, dissecting then-
weaknesses and pointing out conse-
quences which the bill drafters have
overlooked, intentionally or otherwise.
Delayed or prevention of half-bak-
ed legislation is frequently of great
value to the public. But there is a |
danger that the man who gets into
the habit of taking this attitude may
some times appear to delight in op-
posing simply for the sake of oppo-
sition. Disagreeing w'ith his col-
leagues in big matters, he may yield
to the temptation to be of the con-
trary mind on almost every subject.
While the prevention of ill-advised
legislation is as binding a duty upon
a lawmaker as is the furthering of
laws unquestionably for the public
good public service can and should
be positive sometimes.—Ex.

TVO you inhale? Seven out
U of ten smokers know they
do. The other three inhale with-
out realizing it. Every smoker
breathes in some part of the
smoke he or she draws out of a
cigarette.
Think, then, how important
it is to be certain that your
cigarette smoke is pure and
clean—to be sure you don’t
inhale certain impurities!
Do you inhale? Lucky Strike
has dared to raise this much-
avoided subject... because cer-
tain impurities concealed in
even the finest, mildest tobacco
leaves are removed by Luckies’
famous purifying process.
Luckies created that process.
Only Luckies have it!
Do you inhale? More than
20,000 physicians, after Luckies
had been furnished them for
tests, basing their opinions on their
smoking experience, stated that
Luckies are less irritating to the
throat than other cigarettes.
