Somewhere Gets Nowhere
lSt. Paul Disna.c CHI

(St. Paul Dispa .ch)
We are all indebted to Cardinal O'Conne for
calling attention to the words of beautiful
Isle Of Somewhere" A large chorus of con-
tempt for the three verses and the refrain has
followed his denunciation.
Woodrow Wilson, when governor of New
Jersey, declared the hymn was "sily," in which
leading ministers of the Northern Minnesota
Methodist conference, meeting in Minneapolis,
agreed.
Somewhere the sun is shining" the opening
line, followed by Somewhere the songbirds
dwell" may be an allusion to the hereafter, but
the second and third verses are definitely cryp-
tic. Somewhere the day is longer" is equivo-
cal. Days of gloom and distress are long
enough. Somewhere the load is lifted by an
open gate" is rather vague. On the whole,
this song should be sung only by sopranos,
whose words nobody attempts to bring down
to earth.

Editorial Comment

(Duluth Herald)

Secretary of the Navy Wilbur Wednesday
telegraphed Edward F. Schlee at Detroit con-
dolences on his illness and praise for the cour-
age he and his companion, William S. Brock,
showed in undertaking their flight around the
world.
That praise is deserved. 1t takes high cour-
age to plan so hazardous an adventure.
But these men deserve praise, too, for the
higher form of courage they showed in aban-
doning their project after they had got as far
as Japan, when it was plain suicidal folly to
carry it farther.
To do that, they had to face down the fear
of being thought afraid, which is just as i'm
portant brand Of courage as that which
prompted them to try to fly around the world.

Washington, Oct. 15.-The leading
Republican politicians are more
afraid of AL Smith than Of any other
Democrat.
Time was when the impartial an
alyist wondered how much of that
oft repeated assertion could be
traced to Smith propaganda. But be-
cause of the way the Republicans
themselves have acted, it's hard to
doubt it any more. Privately, some
Of them admit it.
They appear to have been figur-
ing on Smiths nomination for a
long time back. They hope the
Democrats will tear each other to
a frazzle before they name him,
but they don't see how the nomi-
nation can be kept from him in
the end and they believe that
Smith will give them hard cam
paign in which they" will win by
no great margin at best.
There is, of course, some diff
ference of opinion among the G. O.
P. pols. There's some among the
Democratic polls, too, but in his own
party perhaps a majority Of those
who publicly oppose Smith believe
that he has the best chance of
election.
The sincerest drys deny this, but
it can't be helped. The fact that
Smith is the party's strongest candi-
date for nomination may be-and
doubtless is-a peculiar commentary
on the party, it's leaders, the Amer
lean political system and the intel
ligence Of the electorate, but that's
no consolation to the anti-Smith
crowd.
Smiths great weakness from any
enthusiastically intelligent point Of
view is the fact that he has never
expressed himself upon any broad
national or internationl issue save
the prohibition question. But from
the standpoint Of the professional
politicians, there lies hi. greatest
strength. His only opposition comes
from the drys and the religiously in
tolerant.
The weakness Of Jim Reed, from
the nomination standpoint, lies in the
fact that he has tackled the national
issues so vigorously and made him.
self so many enemies. He has made
the drys hate him worse than they
hate Smith, he incurred the abso-
lutte loathing of loyal Wilson men
and he excited the enmity of the
farmers by his anti-farm relief
speeches, just to mention few
things.
If it were not for these factors
Reed might now be a stronger
candidate for nomination than
Smith. If your correspondent were
the Republican candidate-and
probably the reader agrees with
him-he would infinitely rather
campaign against Smith than a
human bolt Of lightning like the
red hot Senator Reed. And it
may be that many Republicans are
thankful that it looks more like
Smith than it looks like Reed. But
there will be mo hallelujahs from
them in either event.
The Republicans will nominate

Berlin Raises Salaries
(AShnville Times)

\ASIleVIHc 1IIlcSJ
Economically speaking, Germany feels bet
ter. Oct. the salaries of national govern
ment officials were raised all along the line,
the total increased salary expenditure amount
ing to 1,500,00O,00O marks annually, sum
almost equal to the reparations payments un-
der the Dawes-Young plan.
1t is understood that Gilbert Parker, agent
general of PREPARATIONS, looked over the pro-
posal and found in it nothing to interfere with
German payments on the war debt.
If the German government is able to pay
better salaries to its employees, the larger pay
roll will be sign OF economic and financial
recovery in Germany. At the same time il
should strengthen the prestige of still young
government with it's civilian workers anc
among the tradesmen of Berlin.

only helping prolong the agitation for indie
pendence.
The tendency of officials in eastern coun-
tries not to have anything to do with native
leaders may have great deal more to do with
the discomfort among the people whom they
represent than a cursory glance might reveal.
1t is a certainty that no country has ever
made much progress in keeping the people of
officials decline to sit down and talk over the
problems which must be faced with the rep
resentatives of the masses.
AS Senator Bingham says, it is not likely
that a snobbish and superior attitude will go
far toward dampening the desire of the Flip
mos for independence, They must be met on
plane of equality if the government wishes
any moderation in their demands.

Daily Health Service

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor JoL nah of the American
Medical Association anf of Hy.
geia. the Health Magazine
The battle with diphtheria is a
campaign of eternal vigilance. The
medical professor has shown in
it's laboratories that the injection
of toxin anti-toxin will develop a
resistance to the disease and that
cases seen early and treated prompt
ly with anti-toxin are likely to
recover.
Unfortunately, there arc still
thousands Of persons who neglect
to provide their children with pro-
tective measures and who delay call
ing competent medical advice even
when the disease appears.
Immunizati0n Among 100
In q period of ten years all of
the boys in Girard college were
immunized against the disease and
in that time there was only one case
Of diphtheria among 100 boys, and
that occurred in . boy who had just
entered and who had not been pro-
tected.
The death rate for diphtheria is
diminishing every year, falling from
a rate Of SO per one hundred thou
sand people in 1890 to rates of 0 to
20 in 1926. \
New York city had 1899 deaths
and 14,O14 cases Of diphtheria in
1911 and the rate for that city has
fallen SO that there were 874 deaths
in 1O,427 cases in 1922, and AT
deaths in 1881 cases in 1926. Bear
in mind that New York is city of
some 100000 people, and that .
rate similar to that Of 1890 would
have meant hundreds of thousands
Of cases and many thousands Of
deaths.
Occasional Increases
Occasionally there are sudden
sharp increases in the number of
cases Of diphtheria and in the num-
Der of deaths even in communities
that have been thoroughly protected
against the disease.
There are several factors involved
which explain these sharp rises.
Most significant is the fact that the
bacterium is living organism the
same as the human b1ing and that
it sometimes becomes more virulent
than il is at other periods.
A special investigation made In
New York cit of $50 cases Of diph-
liberia revealed the fact that only
two or three per cent had received
preventive injections and that even
In those that had received the pre-.
ventive injections sufficient time had

someone who has . few enemies.
If the Democratic party were Nike
the G. o. p, it would do likewise,
as in 1920 and 1924. But unless it
desires to be begged worse than
ever, it must nominate q man with
popular appeal over wide area. If
Reed hadn't made himself SO many
enemies, he would be better off. Or,
to put it in any other way, if Smith
had made as many enemies as Reed
has he would be sunk.

rash utterances Of Theodore Roose.
welt before the Republicans Of New
York state. Roosevelt said that
Tammany Hall was corrupt and that
Smith was . bad egg because he
was supported by Tammany.
Doubtless Tammany is corrupt.
and so are the political machines Of
Chicago, Philadelphia and various
other large cities, but that had very
little to do with the case because no
president, Republican or Democrat,
has ever been elected without the aid
Of some Of them.
Republicans promptly admitted
that young Teddy's anti-Smith
speech was for distribution and
Democratic consumption in the south
and west. In other wo.ds, it was to
make the going harder for Smith
and to increase dissension within the
Democratic party.
The older leaders here seemed to
agree that the speech wasn't smart
politics. 1t certainly couldn't make
antl-Smith men out of pro.Smith
men. On the other hand, it might
cause those on the fence to realize
that the other party was afraid of
Smith. 1t is the Republican game
to stir up all the strife possible
among the Democrats, but you cant
really expect the Democrats to take
public instructions from young
Roosevelt or any other Republican
as to whom they should nominate.
The surest way to cause Q fight
ing husband and wife to make IN
and present a united front is to
interfere in their private quarrel.
Smart outsiders keep out Of fam
lily rows.
Some of the older leaders never
have been convinced that Young
Teddy was very bright. They tried
to dissuade him from making the
Rochester speech. But the Bit
terness of men like Roosevelt and
Ogden Mills who have been defeated
when they ran for governor against
Smith always has been profound.
It may be remembered that the
Smith faction drove hard at McAdoo
on the basis Of his connection with
Doheny of oil scandal fame. This
faction is now in position to point
to young Roosevelt, the young man
who couldn't scent corruption when
it was right under his nose while
he was assistant SECRETARY Of the
navy, but who is now boldly attribut-
ing it to political enemies.
Altogether, the wiser Republicans
who deplore the likely nomination Of
Smith are fearing that Roosevelt
came far from helping an unfortun-
ate situation.
