[ ariifff as Boon
Platform Predicts Return of
Prosperity, as ''Has Inva-
riably Followed Similar
Revisions by the Party

BOSTON, Sept. % BY The Associated
Press) The platform presented by the
committee on resolutions to the Re
publican state convention here to-day,
and later adopted without change,
claimed important achievement, By the
last session of Congress, devoted its
longest plank to commendation of the
new tariff act and Endorsed National
and state administrations.
''The rates written in the tariff act
of 1922" the platform recited, "are in
accordance with the long established
Republican doctrine of protection. We
predict under it such return of
prosperity as has invariably followed
Republican tariff reJisions."
Pledges or economy in National and
state administrations had been carried
out, the resolutions said, adding that
still further reductions in expenditures
should be brought about.
Coolidge Is Chairman
President Coolidge served as
permanent chairman of the convention
and addresses were made by Senator
Lodge and Governor Claiming H. Cox,
both of whom will seek reelection
this fall.
The convention rejected an amend
ment offered by Joseph Walker, who
was candidate against Senator
Lodge in the primaries, asking the
party to make its platform specifically
favor enforcement of the Eighteenth
Amendment, to the Constitution and
the Volstead act. Speaking for the
amendment, Mr.. Walker said:
There is not line on the Eigh-
teenth Amendment or the Volstead act
in the platform. Are we afraid of it ?"
He declared the platform was "abso-
lutely colorless" on all issues in which
the people were vitality interested
Bonus Expression Tabled
The convention tabled resolution
introduced by Mr.. Walker indorsing
the Presidents veto of the bonus bill,
and defeated ally other proposed
change.
Mr., Walker had also offered from
the floor planks calling for a state
ment of the conditions upon which
America would be willing to join the
League of Nations, with a pledge to
apply for membership if the condi-
tions should be met; putting the party
on record as urging the unseating OF
Senator. Newberry, of Michigan and
favoring abandonment of periodic

A Hookworm Cure.

Discovery that carbon tetrachloride
will cure hookworm disease is one of
the most important advances In health
research since the isolation Of the
germs Of malaria and yellow fever and
the Identification Of the mosquito as
their carrier. Hookworm is a baleful
pest that affects enormous numbers
Of people in tropical and semi-tropical
countries and greatly lowers the in
dustrial energies Of its victims. The
economic effects Of hookworm are
marked In terms Of heavy losses. Ever
since the disease principle was iso-
lated efforts have been made to find
a cure, with only partial success. Two
remedies have been developed and ap-
piled, but fatalities have resulted that
have caused grave doubt in the
minds Of sanitarians whether the real
cure had been reached. For hook
worm does not itself kill the patient,
but depletes his vitality. He loses
weight and all energy and becomes a
chronic invalid, but he may endure
for years as a sufferer. The remedies
previously used have substituted a
certain percentage Of deaths while ef-
fecting some cures. Experiments with
carbon tetrachloride, which is cheap
and common chemical. were tried first
On dogs. and than On *ho- -discosaeee

Heroisun.

Mary Buhner of st. Petersburg,
Fla, should undoubtedly get a medal
fer heroism. Seldom has such an ex-
hibition Of pluck, fidelity and endur-
ance been recorded. Swimming with
a girl companion from a channel
buoy in Tampa bay toward shore, her
friend was attacked by a barracuda,
known as one Of the most ferocious
Of fish in American waters. The
wounded girl screamed and sank and
rose soon, almost helpless from loss Of
blood. Mary Buhner caught her and
swan with her for more than half a
mile in the rough sea. She gained the
notice Of men ashore, who put out in
a boat and rescued her and her dying
friend.
A "hero medal is but small ac-
acknowledgement for such a deed. And
yet it is an honor to be cherished.
True heroism is not rare. 1t simply
comes to note seldom. There are
countless deeds Of bravery and self
sacrifice Of which the world never
hears. The real hero is modest and
does not proclaim his services. Doubt
less Mary Buhner, stricken with
grief for the death Of her friend, de-
plores the notice that her action is at
tracing. For those who instinctively
seek to save others have no thought
for themselves.

A College Education by Radio.

The University of California has
followed the example of other insti-
tutions Of higher learning in ar
ranging to deliver lectures on edu-
eational topics through the radio
telephone. 1t has been granted a
broadcasting license and within a
few months will be sending talks
on. various subjects taught at the
university through the ether.
A fine spirit Of public service is
shown in this enterprise. 1t sug-
gests that the time may soon come
when it will be possible to obtain
what virtually will be g. complete
college education through wireless
1t was inevitable that specializa-
tion In radio broadcasting programs
should come. While the programs
broadcast from the principal sta
tions at present are of general in
terest and appeal to a larger num-
ber OF persons than any other which
could be prepared, there are of
course, thousands who are not in
terested in base ball scores and bed
time tales, but who would be glad
to listen In" on lectures on serious
subjects delivered by college pro-
fessors.
The educational influence Of lee
lures thus broadcasted will be i'm

that thousands Of persons will listen

This is taken from a news story
published in yesterdays Star:
From a democratic point of view
the Fordney-McCumbe tariff bill is
going to be one of the greatest as
sets of the democratic party In the
November elections. That being the
case, some Of the democrats in the
Senate are considering the advisable
ity of calling a halt on debate on the
bill and letting the measure go
through at comparatively early
date. One prominent democratic SEN
vote on the passage of the bill might
be had by or soon after July Is.
If the democratic leaders in the
Senate We're to call off their orators
in that body tomorrow, and let the
day be fixed for the final vote on the
tariff bill, their record on the subject
would be sufficient for campaign pur-
poses. The speeches that have been
made against the measure have shown
the democratic appraisement Of 1t.
and what the democrats would do II
the responsibility for tariff legislation
was theirs. The responsibility is with
the republicans, and they are eager
for action. Why not permit action
facilitate 1t even?
Campaign purposes are sticking out
In everything in hand on Capitol Hill.
Both parties are playing politics up
to the hilt. November Is but a little
more than four months away. Pri-
maries are taking place. Campaign
plans are under consideration. Every
body is for a party; very few are for
the state. Why not then as respects
the bonus and the merchant marine as
well as the tariff take only time suf-
flcient to record the general lines of
support and opposition, and leave the
rest to the stumpers and to the voters
at the polls? The stumpers are keyed
up, and ready to make all the music

The Dutch press Is at a disadvan-

Wild West Washington.

A man with pistol in his hand en-
ters the box office of a picture theater
and orders the person in charge to
hold up his hands, grabs a package of
money, runs through the house, dodg-
ing arms extended to catch him,
passes out through the rear door, runs
up an alley and thence to the street,
where he leaps to the running board
Of passing automobile and compels
the driver to help him to escape.
Did this happen in small town,
somewhere out on the near-frontier,
and where the streets are thinly occu-
pied? No. 1t happened here in Wash
ington, during the daylight, at an hour
when the streets were filled with peo-
pie, with many motors in motion.
There Is no discredit to the man in
the box Office who yielded to the COM
mand Of the robber. There is no dis
credit to the patrons Of the theater
who failed to check the fleeing thief.
There is no discredit to the man in the
motor car who yielded to the order to
help the fugitive escape. They were
all victims to the bravado and initia-
tive Of the criminal.
But is there no way to halt these
crimes. which are becoming SO nu-
merous as to make the residents Of
the big cities wonder whether they
AVE not slipped back into the days
Of the road knights and bandits? 1t
is not desirable to arm everybody.
Motor drivers cannot surely protect
themselves against sudden onsets. The
police cannot be everywhere at once.
Perhaps the thieves are bold be-
cause they figure that the chances
favor them, and that II caught and
convicted they will only get short
terms. Maybe, then. the way to check
this sort Of crime is to put up the
penalties, to make the risk too great
to be run. If that man who performed
his daring act Of robbery and flight
Yesterday in this city were given,
when caught. a term Of twenty years
his case might serve notice that the
risk of the better part Of a lifetime is
not worth while when the loot Is only
a few dollars.
Any man who robs at the point Of a
gun Is a potential slayer and should be
treated as such by the courts.
