TO BATTLE NELSON

o. H. Johnson of Gratiot, state SEN
ator from this district, is likely to
run against John M. Nelson next year,
according to an announcement by
Fred Holmes, publicity man for Gov
ernor Blaine The story first appeared
in the Sunday State Journal, and has
since been sent out to the weekly pa
pers in the state by Holmes.
Nelson is marked for slaughter as
the man responsible for bringing
young Bob" into the field so prompt
ly after the late senator's death that
Governor Blaine had no opportunity
to step into his shoes.
Practically all the other congress
men of the state, according to Holmes,
are to be opposed by Blaine follow
ers, altho they are old-time progress
sives and La Toilette men. The plan
evidently is for Blaine to get control
of all the offices in the state.

DIR. Johnson Wrong;
State Autonomy Works.

DR.. Johnson, research secretary for
the Federated Protestant Church
Councils of America recently made a
report of a survey of prohibition in
which he concludes that an attempt
to enforce morality by statute is a
failure. He goes further to state that
in the home, church and school lie the
only possible means of introducing a
sane attitude toward the snares of
life. In his remarks before the Chi
cago Forum the Rev. Johnson said:
"There is no more important ques-
ton before the people of this country
than prohibition No informed person
will say that it is no longer prob
lem. The fact is that it is one of the
greatest problems in the history OF
our country. Again and again | am
amazed that the country at large
should have given so little careful
study to so great social problem"
He enlarged on the proposition that
legislation will never put prohibition
into effect. He said:
eff prohibition is to be fully sue
cessful, the American people must
cure themselves of the will to violate
the prohibition laws. Laws do not
become effective because they are en-
forced. but because they are observed.
The Volstead law will become effec-
tive when the vast majority of the
people wants it effective
The Herald for one does not agree
that legislation cannot be an agency
for moral improvement. Experience
teaches the reverse. The reason leg
islation has failed in the case OF pro-
hibition is because it was national
effort and not state effort.
In the past and prior to the Volstead
act, the temperance question was be-
ing sanely disposed of purely through
evolution. AS people of the various
commonwealth reached common or
majority conclusion they voted the
saloons out and it worked. But when
the national government endeavored to
make one suit of clothes fit the whole
country regardless of varying opinion,
legislation fell down as moral agent.
Since then a whole train of evils in
including one a good deal worse than
drink and that is widespread disre-
spect for law, have sprung up. And one
of the worst evils also is the Russian
cheka system of spying and reporting
now in vogue which is direct result
of national prohibition and entirely
un-American.
The Herald believes that legislation
is a sound aid toward moral better
ment. But the origin must in the
people themselves and not in paid re-
formers, lobbyists, leagues, etc. These
coerced Congress into passing the ma
tional prohibition act over President
Wilson'S veto.

monotOnouS machine, ever hummlng
away with the same old buzz, in the
same old way, the paths of life will
be followed through instinct and not
through intellect
intellect to enlarge its achieve
ments and widen its range must seek
decentralization and be diversified
with each succeeding generation. If
we simply maintain in our educational
institutions the circle of oscillation,
intellect will become dizzy and lose its
equilibrium. Better far, indeed, for the
intellect to depart on tangents, if you
choose so to call them, than to adhere
to Standardization that is whitening
and paralyzing When educational
Standardization becomes the rule, then
attainment, natural or acquired 1t IS
tabOOed.
Genius has never proceeded from
Standardization, from uniformity, or
from set rules. If in all relations OF
life and social organization, opportun-
tiles are going to be denied because
of standardizations arbitrarily fixed
in educational institutions, then civil
ization will be denied the service OF
men and women through a system
from which they cannot escape.
when educational institutions yield
a power that will deny opportunities
to the geniuses outside of college
walls, you will have civilization the
members of which will be standard
lied so that the whole may be no bet
ter than the worst.
"So-called intellectual Standardized
ton is intellectual Capitalization, and
in proof of this, call the roll of the
centuries, if you please, and whole
galaxy will stand out, with the Watts ,
the Burns and the Rennies, against
intellectual standardization and CEN
tralization."

Coolidge VS.. Smith
i'm 1928 Election.

Those inclined to watch which way
the political wind blows the straws,
say that AL Smith will be the demo-
crat choice in 1928 This in view of
his strong showing in recently COM
pletely dominating the New York city
election The wise-heads aver further
that Smith will oppose Calvin Cool
idge, incumbent The Herald believes
otherwise We do not think Smith will
be the democrat candidate. There is no
absolute assurance that Coolidge will
run to succeed himself.
The eastern democrats will back
Smith the same as they did in 1924.
The Southern and Western democrats
will oppose him. Stronger probably
than any other one candidate, Smith
will not be able to garner the neces-
sary two-thirds of the delegates. A
compromise will be effected in some
midwest man.
In Coolidge's case he will be up
against the tradition on third terms
1t has never happened that presi-
dent has served longer than eight
years A Coolidge election would be
equivalent to ten years.
Coolidge's friends will say that he
really was not an elected president
for the two years in which he filled
out Harding's term. Their point will
contain justice 1t is a fact that not
until he became president in his own
right did Coolidge feel free to act
vigorously along his own lines. And
since then he has proved his title to
the golden spurs.
The anti-third-termers concede all
this but hold fast by tradition. There
is no assurance but what they will
carry their point The American peo-
pie are conservative at the bottom.
They prove it in every real test. The
best chance radicalism ever had was
in the Bryan 1896 campaign. 1t lost.
A third term is radical idea and an
overthrow of tradition.
If Smith runs against Coolidge ira
dition will smash at all points. The
American people will show by mil
lions of votes that they do not dis
criminate over religion. The Solid
South, always democrat, will break
it's front. The republicans, more liber-
al north will throw Smith millions of
votes.
Such a race would be battle roy
al and containing elements of thrill
not shown in many past elections. But
we do not believe it will come to pass.

Comedies SOundneSs OF
States Rights Doctrine.

Lincoln c.. Andrews, assistant sec
rotary of the treasury, in an address
before the anti-Saloon League deel-
gates at Chicago says each community
must police itself as far as local vi
oIations of the liquor or other laws
are concerned. He goes on to state
that the federal government can con-
Germ itself only with sources OF liquor
supply and traffic.
That communities must clean their
own houses is something good many
people knew in the first place. In
other words law observance and en-
forcement must work from the bottom
I'D instead of from the top down.
This means, in effect, a concession
of States Rights And if common
wealth is responsible for its own law
enforcement it is entitled to say what
these laws shall be. Anything else is
absolutism.
Working from the bottom up instead
of from the top down, the individual
is the first unit. His conscience con-
cludes that certain things must be
done in a civilized community. He
makes a stand for his principles. His
neighbors, probably of similar mlnd,
do likewise. Their county officials
carry out their mandates. A state
government again carries out the ma
iority opinion or mass conclusion of
its citizens. It's authority becomes vi
brant and potent.
This is what many of us have known
all the time. It is indeed refreshing
and heartening to note that federal of
ficials are finding it out. We hazard
the hope that in some far-fung time
the Anti-Saloon League and other dry
advocates so wrapped up in federal
control of individual conscience will
have the light break on them. And
then we will get back to sanity in
government.

Governor Blaine
Speaks Sanely.

When he rides political hobby hors-
es in his race for power, Governor
Blaine becomes an opportunist not to
be listened to by citizens of good
judgment. When he goes forth in other
paths unhampered by personal OBJ
jeCtive he becomes one of the wisest
among us.
A case in point is his recent address
at the dedication of a new building at
Whitewater Normal There the COVER

ably brighter than average mind from
further training and advantages be-
cause pedagogic standards will not al

sheaf of arrows, may not evidence
learning. They do indicate standard

men like Abe Lincoln could never set
foot in college which works on the
accredited system. The worse for the
college we would say. And the worse
for the world which loses the greater
gifts fine mind might give it if fur

Colleges, universities and normal
