There Is a Third Party
BY n. ID. Cochran

DR. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia
University, is outstanding; figure in American pcl
tics Just because he is ore OF the few men WHO
say anything when they talk politics.
When he discusses politics he talks about the one
topic public interest that strs up the most con-
troversy everywhere, yet it ducked and lodged by
most of the politicians control the Republican and
Democratic parties.
Referring to the dissatisfaction many Democrats
and Republicans feel with the management Of their
respective parties DIR. Butler suggested in his Bat'
more speech that unless of the major parties took
a bold stand prohibition, constructive liberalism
would find organ of its own as 1t did when the
Republican party formed.
Naturally this prediction encounters opposi-
ton than encouragement from the general run of
people who don't think anything can be done that
hasn't been done in their time. The immediate reac-
ton is that the Popuist Prohibition and Progressive
third-party movements failed, and hence no third
party can succeed.
1t may be worth noting that there is already
third party in this country that is as big as the Re-
publican and Democratic parties combined and it is
up of the so per of eligible voters who don't
take enough interest in presentday politics to vote
Moreover, the vote of most of the so per cent who
do vote doesn't anything any more significant
than habit.
In both old parties there every shade of political
thought from extreme conservatism to extreme rad
icalism, with conservatism-as opposed to liberalism
in control of both parties That is, neither the Re
publican the Democratic party is liberal.
On the issue which DIR. Butler considers Of para
mount public interest both parties in the hands
is chairman of the board.
When Boss Wheeler's orders disobeyed-as
when the Republicans of New York renominated
Wadsworth for United States Senator-a third party
swung into line to take from Wadsworth enough
Republican dry votes to elect his wet Democratic OPP
ponent. This despite the fact that generally
cepted Republican principles, Wadsworth of
the abest representatives of his party in the Senate
With the confidence born of bipartisan control
Chairman Wheeler of the Anti.Saoon League Holding
Company tells the world that neither Governor Smith
Governor Richie shall be elected President if NOM
mated by the Democrats.
So it may not be much of third party move
ment the country needs as real twoparty movement
which will give the voters a choice between a liberal
and conservative party. There is no such choice
now.
Nor is the situation fairly comparable with
ditions that gave birth to former third-party
ments. DR.. Butler may prove to be Of prophet
than of the politicians think he is.
If neither of the old parties break loose from
the grip of the holding company, it may become
essary for constructive liberal thought desert
of them. get together in party and let the
tionaries in the two od~ones combine to form the
other party in our two'party system of government

Law and Justice

A bought ticket to a ball game, took a
in the grandstand and started to watch the game
He was behaving in quiet and orderly way when
the manager of the park called him of the stand
him back the price of the ticket and told police
man to throw him out The manager said that on
previous occasions the man had given money to the
players, and been active in arranging betting pools.
man said that this had been true In the past but
longer. He contended that as long as he
paid the admission price and caused disturbance,
the manager of the park had right to eject him.
HOW WOULD YOU DECIDE THIS CASE?
The actual decision: 1t decided by the SUI
preme Court Of the State of Washington that the
park manager after he had refunded the price
ticket, had the right to have him put out of the
park. The reason given that baseball park
is private enterprise and that the management
choose the people 1t desires to entertain.

Look at This-We Tried to Be Nice
When Queen Marie Was Here

THAT evening at five.thirty we
rolled into Indianapolis, where
everything was done to honor the
Queen. We took the long ride over
the impressive city to a magnificent
monument in the central square,
where the Queen mounted the steps,
thanked on either side by soldiers
and sailors, was greeted by the gov
ernor and the mayor and was given
the freedom Of the city. We visited
the Capitol and also, the library, a
stately building, where she was pre-
scented with a volume of Hoosier
poetry, since its literary wares are
Of the greatest pride of this unique
American city. The people have
every right to be proud of the fact
that they not only encourage litera-
ture but also offer literature a fit
ting remuneration. James Whit
comb Riley and Booth Harrington
are among the Indianapolis celebri-
ties"
The description given by Mrs.
Morris of the Queens visit to the
Roumanian church was beautifully
told.
And so probably we can forgive
Mrs. Morris, one of the official mem
bers of the queens party for being
amused" at parts of the banquet.
A little more clear light on the
trouble on the train would have
made this story of a Queens journey
over this country a little more SEN
sational.

Two Glimpses

This country is in a pretty prosperous condi
ton nowadays and things like hunger and want
don't come very close to most of us. But it is just
as we'll that we who are SO fortunate do not forget
that hunger and want do still exist.
Here two little gimpses into the lower
strata of cur prosperous Nation, culled from the
days grist of news:
The first tells about Mrs Frances stenglern of
New York.
Mrs. Stenglern had husband and baby. The
husband out of work; Mrs. stenglern had a job
as a janitress, for which she was paid $40 month
on this the three Of them had to live
1t too much Mrs Stenglern, seeing only
starvation ahead abandoned her baby in doorway
hoping that whoever found it would not let it die
of hunger
When she got home she found that her husband
by getting odd jobs, had accumulated $780, This
a godsend. The two went back to get the
baby. 1t was gone.
Well, the story ends pretty we'll Mrs steng-
lern went to the police they found her baby for her.
and she and her husband are trying it again. And
that's that story.
The other story tells about Abraham Bass
He is 80 years old and looking for job For
twenty-six years he worked for company, but
finally he got laid of-too old. Now he's tramp.
AAS IHo oIlSSIS lOOhlHS LOT WOrK SOmetnlng,l turn
up" he says hopefully.
There you Two little gmpses of the
shadowy side of prosperous country
What is to be done? That's hard question
Probably it will be impossible for us ever to de-
wise any system that will entirely prevent such
tragedies. There will always be insists; there will
always be people who grow old without having been
able to save.
But 1t is good for us to think about those stories
occasionally II it does nothing else, it keeps us
from growing too .compacent.

WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW
> BY Walter ID. Hickman :

sent for the chairman and requested
that the ceremonies be terminated as
soon as possible BY this time it was
nearly II o'clock, and no speeches
had yet been made"
And the more about the banquet
in the words of Mrs Morris from
her book, ITO add to the discomfort
the Princess felt i'll as the result of
the nervous strain of her accident
and left the table very abruptly. My
friend the clergyman, was deter

its destination and. asking me to pre-

typewriter document in her hands"
Yet Mrs. Norris did take part Of
our entertainment for the Queen
more seriously as she writes: From
the church we went TO the Columbia
Club, where we were the guests of
the evening. We found our quarters
most comfortable and we'll ordered,
as everything is in Indianapolis. The
banquet awaiting us in the hall had
evidently been prepared with much
thought and ceremony. It was the
great event in Indianapolis. The
elaborate engraved programs. the
colored walters in their stuffy
starched white coats, the long list
Of speeches, the massive decorations,
all indicated the work of many CON-
mittees. In spite of her lovely rose
colored dress the Queen looked ex.
tremely tired that night and de-
pressed"
And again, Mrs. Morris writes:

joyed the hospitality.

But we will take the words Of Mrs.
Morris right from her new book on
her chapter dealing with Queen Marie
in Indianapolis.
In writing of the banquet at the
Columbia Club. Mrs. Morris writes:

fare including every variety of hot
bread ever invented. In the precise
walters coming in file down the aisles,
carrying their trays high up over
their heads, one saw the exact
counterpart of the ceremonial pro-
cessions on the ancient monuments"
Again Mrs. Morris writes: "a
clergy who sat next to me seemed
somewhat disturbed and asked him
what was on his mind. He had a
prayer to make, he said, and in order
for all to be discreet, he had typed
it. I saw nothing omitted but the
Kings health and I advised him to
speak extemporaneously 70 the Lord,
adding that / thought the Queen
would like it much better. But in
spite of all this stew the prayer had
to be offered in silence as the Queen

No Boundaries

Science is challenging us to know
each other, regardless of race and
nationality, to take the air. where
there are no coasts and boundary
lines, to go to our provincialism
and dialects and our mannerisms.
Science has already taught us how
to talk to each other across the
broadcast seas and presently it will
teach us how to see each other.
On Thursday Ralph H. Turner, as
sistant manager of the United Press,
put in call for London from CO.
lumbia, Mo-, where journalism week
is being celebrated by the State
University.
The connection was made in twelve
minutes after which the voice of Ed
L. Keen, European manager, was
distinctly heard as he read messages
Of greeting and news bulletins.
Such things make us seem wonder
fully close together and the coming
of television promises that we soon
shall be wonderfully exposed. Is the
prospect to be taken dolefully be-
cause of the way it skaters old
custom, old traditions and old habits
of thought, or hopefully because of
the way 1t opens up the future?

Call Congress

Secretary Hoover at Memphis yesterday estmat-
ed that the damage done thus far by the Mississippi
food amounts to quarter Of billion dollars or
more
"The tragedy of it is" he added, that it is
impossible to tell how much greater the loss will be
before the disaster reaches its climax"
To deal with damage of not less than $25O,000,-
600 there is available the $1o,OOooOo being raised by
the Red Cross Probably the Red Cross can raise
another $5OOO,OOO or even another $10,OOO,OOO But
that, it is now perfectly clear, will not be enough.
Generous as the American people are showing
themselves they can not handle catastrophe of this
size through private charity. Efficient as the Red
Cross is again proving itself, the problem put
up to 1t is beyond its scope.
Congress should be called into session imme
diately to vote the funds so plainly needed
Money must be provided at once to relieve the
distress of the homeless hundreds of thousands
along the river and to make the work of restoring
their homes and their lands speedy when the waters
have receded The speed with which this work is
done will determine the extent of the afterloss. A
suggestion of what this is found in the fate of
bill in the last Congress to appropriate $4,000 900
for Seed fertilizer and forage in areas suffering
from crop failures The Senate flibuster, aimed
chiefly at the Boulder Dam bill, caused this appro-
priation-which had no oppostion-to fail. With no
intimation of flood in the Mississippi valley, Con-
gress recognized that at least $8600,000 would be
needed for the purpose stated. There is avail
able only $250000 and the present flood had multi
piled many times the need that existed when Con-
gress sitting.
Congress sooner or later will have to undertake
a comprehensive program of flood prevention. 1t
not get at this problem once too early. 1t may
be possible through prompt action to prepare to
extent against possible repetition of the
Mississippi flood next spring.
But regardless of future prevention, the fact
is that great sum of money is needed right now
to take care of the present victims and only Con-
gress can provide that money.
1t is time for President Coolidge to act He
should call Congress into special session without
further delay

" Says:
Blood and Tears IN Great
Achievements, Especial
IN IN the Beginning.
Nv NJ r. Tracy

Maj. Herbert A. Dargue, leader in
the Pan American fight, says that
most aviation accidents are in con-
nection with pioneering feats, in do
ing the thing that yesterday was
impossible. That is all too true.
The disasters have been stressed
until the progress has been lost
sight Of.
Ten or fifteen years ago men lost
their lives in a type of flying that
now seems commonplace.
Ten or fifteen years hence the
type of flying that now seems so
perilous, will have become just as
commonplace.
Every great venture i'm this world
demands its toll. Men cannot
master the secrets of nature with
out taking risks and making
sacrifices.
Out of the first twelve thousand
people who crossed the Atlantic to
settle in North America, it is
estimated that eight thousand died
in the attempt.
There is blood and tears in all
achievements. especially at the be-
ginning.

New Deal Must Be Made
After Unequal Division
of Cards,

Yesterdays question was: Against
a Heart contract. West leads the
Six Of Hearts. Dummy has the
Nine-EightThree, Closed Hand the
King-Jack-Fcur. Where are the
other Hearts higher than the Six?
The answer is: West must have
the Queen, Ten and Seven Of Hearts.
and East the Ace West would not
lead low against a trump contract
from n suit headed by Ace); or East
must have them ALL and West have
led a singleton or the top Of a short
suit.
Today's question is: Who was Ca.
vendish? Answer tomorrow.
So many queries ask whether a
misdeal can be claimed when, during
the play, an irregular distribution
of the cards is discovered, that am
taking that subject for today's
pointer.
WHEN ONE PLAYER HAS
TOO MANY CARDS AND AN
OTHER TOO FEW, THERE
MUST BE A NEW DEAL.
The pointer covers a situation Of
frequent occurrence in Auction
Bridge. The usual cause is sloppy
dealing aided and abetted by care.
lessness on the part OF players who
pick up their cards without noticing
whether their allotment overlaps the
next players, and who fail to countc
their cards.
1t is disconcerting to a Declarer
who has rolled up a big score, or to
adversaries who have defeated q
contract severely, to have a deal
thrown out-perhaps at the thir.
teenth trick--merely because one
player has carelessly picked UP a
card belonging to another. But when
that happens, the aggrieved player
generally has himself or his partner
to blame; no one has good excuse
for starting to play with twelve or
fourteen cards; and there is no re-
dress because Law Is ID clearly
states that there must be a new
deal If during the hand, one player
hold more than the proper number
of cards and another less"
There are three reasons why you
should count your cards and make
sure that you start with the right
number; In the first place, you
must know the distribution Of your
hand in order to bid 1t correctly; in
the second, you do not wish to play
the hand merely to have the deal
thrown out; and in the third, IL you
are short, You may be held respon-
sible for any revokes just as II the
missing card had been continuously
in your hand.

ALWAYS DOubterS

Men have always felt that way to

ways shuddered when brought face

of opportunity, have always doubted
the judgment of the pioneer until

Experience proves nothing so dis
tinctly as that there is more good
than evil in increased knowledge.
